50: Chapter 31: Fight to the Death

50 -31: Fight to the Death

Gongsun Ce’s mechanical gauntlets could be filled with tiny metal projectiles to fire as bullets, a fact both parties well knew before the battle began.

Because of this, the giant dragon worshippers were completely unguarded against him.

He had checked the site before the battle commenced, and all materials that could serve as bullets had been placed inside the factory building.

The young man who had burst onto the construction site at the start of the battle had no means of refilling ammunition.

Now, however, he found himself wounded by bullets.

The injuries he had sustained from being hit by a dump truck earlier combined to force a mouthful of blood from the man.

“Cough—!”

Had he been in the real world, being a Desolate FormMage meant he would not sustain real damage from such trivial attacks, but this was the world he himself had longed for.

The rules of the momentary battleground greatly suppressed even his power, and at this moment, Xu Junyi, despite having a body far superior to that of his opponent, could be wounded by tactics that used to pose no threat!

It must have been the young man’s absurd ramblings that had distracted him, Xu Junyi thought, and allowed him to fall victim to such a laughable attack.

Yes, that must be the reason, but what he couldn’t comprehend was…

Xu Junyi roared in anger, “Where did you get the bullets?!”

“Where?

Right inside the truck you smashed just now.

You seem to have missed it, but among the cargo of that dump truck, only a portion was construction sand for camouflage…”

The young man with grey hair reached down, grabbing a handful of sand and gravel from the ground.

Xu Junyi watched as the sand and gravel fell from his unsteady hands, a mix of earthy yellow and jet-black particles.

The iron sand obtained after crushing iron ore, useful as ballast in concrete.

“This is—!”

Gongsun Ce reflexively tried to push up his glasses, only now, his frames were nothing but twisted metal, and he himself was running out of energy.

“It’s iron sand.

A few scattered grains would have little effect, but in large quantities, they could serve as ammunition for the gauntlets.

This is no trap, just something in the environment you failed to notice.”

With his vision now hopelessly blurred, the enemy appeared before him as nothing more than a rough human outline.

He could barely distinguish the color of clothing, and finer details were lost to him.

That the last two sand bullets had hit was thanks not just to the man losing his cool and exposing weaknesses, but also to a bit of good luck on his part.

Looking at it another way, this was also a benefit.

Unable to see the opponent’s expression, he felt no psychological burden as he spoke provocatively.

Gongsun Ce said with a smile, “Do you regret it now?

Never expected to exploit such a loophole, did you?

If you had known, you wouldn’t have manifested, but would have fought it out with some other Extraordinary Ability, right?”

He laughed awkwardly, an ugly chuckle.

“But rest assured, your decision wasn’t wrong. freёwebnoѵel.com

It’s only in your so-called fair duel that you could have fought until now—cough!”

Even as he spoke, blood spattered from his mouth, and though his face was smeared with blood, he still flashed a confident smile at his enemy.

“In a real fight in the real world, you would have been knocked down by me already!”

The leader of the giant dragon worshippers let out a roar like a wild beast.

“I won’t listen to your nonsensical rambling anymore!!!”

The burly man lunged forward.

Gongsun Ce stood his ground, firing a third sand bullet.

The iron sand projectile was disrupted mid-flight by the man’s fist, scattering black dust into the air.

“It’s time to wake up from your own world, Xu Junyi,” his tone was both provocative and persuasive, “Cough…

You cling to your own sense of justice, refusing to open your eyes to the reality in front of you!”

“What do you know, you brat who hasn’t even practiced the Impermanence Skill!”

A fourth sand bullet was fired at close range, easily dodged by Xu Junyi.

The middle-aged man kicked out, and he rolled on the ground awkwardly in an attempt to evade.

“The vessel for your ability is the battleground, your wish is for a fair duel, but in the end, you’re the only one setting the rules.

You think winning a fistfight would make others obey you?

Cut the crap, it’s nothing but a one-sided threat of violence!

There’s not a trace of fairness in your battle, just your disdain for Extraordinary Abilities and your own wishful thinking!”

“Shut up!”

The fifth bullet was not fired in time.

Xu Junyi lifted his sturdy right leg, kicking towards his head.

Forced to shield his face with his hands, the young man was, inevitably, sent flying several meters away by the kick.

His left arm likely broke as well; now he couldn’t even support his right arm to fire the bullets.

Could a human limb really bend in such a strange angle?

Amazingly, even under these circumstances, he found himself thinking such things, which probably meant there was something wrong with his head too.

“Whenever your opponent gains an advantage with clever thinking, you dismiss it as cunning!

Unable to refute when your true thoughts are pointed out, you just tell people to shut up like a child!

Why do you look so miserable?”

The young man continued to speak, about the abilities he had seen, about the enemy in his eyes.

“Because you yourself know very well…

you understand better than anyone that this world you’ve manifested is meaningless, just as you know in your heart that summoning the giant dragon won’t save anyone!”

“Damn it, I told you to shut up!!!”

A sweeping kick sent Gongsun Ce flying through the air like a ragdoll.

“Die!

Just die!!”

Another furious punch was thrown, and the young man’s body crushed into a mound of sand several meters away.
