Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 54 Let’s turn the situation around!
After enjoying Ruan's meal, Klein's momentum surged, his confidence soared, and his confidence surged to an unprecedented level.

Klein seemed to see his former parents standing before him, extending their clenched right hands toward him.

"Just think of it as becoming the Masked Fool for us."

Klein took a deep breath. As expected of an organization that saves the world, the entrance exam was so difficult. It was so exciting, so exciting that he was practically in tears.

He replaced every bullet in his revolver with the purple beads called Eye of Thunder. Even before he'd crouched in the corner, he'd already maxed out the blessing of "Emperor Star Sovereign Arrives at the Dome of the Sky."

He casually threw the bullet aside, and the speed at which it fell was almost as if it were in slow motion.

The Eye of Thunder shot out from the barrel, though Klein didn't know why it didn't explode in the barrel. Don't ask, it's just some magical alien technology.

As usual, Xu Zu took Klein's first shot, but the Eye of Thunder was different from a bullet. After being hit, it instantly exploded and turned into a sea of ​​thunder.

Klein pulled back and activated his newly acquired Fate Echo. A vortex of purple, mixed colors, enveloped the Void Soldier. Instantly, over a dozen negative buffs appeared on the Void Soldier.

The next second, the virtual soldier broke through the vortex and rushed out, coming in front of Klein and slashing with his sword.

Klein didn't choose to resist head-on. His previous attempts had already taught him that the light blade would tear objects apart even if it only touched the side.

He raised his foot and kicked the Xuzu's arm with a whip kick, deflecting it. He felt that the Xuzu, now suffering from the negative buff, had at least three-quarters less strength than the last time he encountered him.

The virtual soldier's unextended palm instantly fired a beam of light. Klein, who had anticipated this, dropped a talisman from his hand. Following the flames, he leaped behind the virtual soldier and kicked him on the back.

The virtual soldier turned and slashed, but Klein once again leaped into flames to distance himself. The virtual soldier took a step back to steady himself and easily deflected several napkin knives.

"Scarlet." Klein recited the ancient Hermes word, and the sleeping spell that fell on the spot was activated, and the movement of the virtual soldier paused.

What Klein has to do now is to delay time. The main feature of Blessing of Nothingness is continuous blood loss, and it will suddenly explode from time to time.

Speak of the devil, the devil appears. The mixed mist swirling around the virtual soldier suddenly expanded, and a variety of lights flashed from him. There were lightning, wind blades, and even golden and purple lights that Klein couldn't figure out what they were.

Especially the golden light, which directly wrapped around the virtual soldier like a chain, restraining its movements and lifting it off the ground.

The virtual soldier was about to swing his sword to cut through the golden imaginary chains, but due to the repeated damage, the blessing of "Perfect Experience·Silence" was directly triggered, causing the virtual soldier to be frozen in mid-air.

Klein didn't rush to fire again. He needed to buy time. Shooting directly wouldn't cause much damage and would likely help the Void Soldier break free from the ice. He quickly moved to adjust his position while revolving his pistol, taking advantage of the Void Soldier's restraint to fire another Thunder Eye.

The fear of out-of-fire means that you should always make sure that the magazine of your pistol is full.

The virtual soldier broke free of his restraints and fell to the ground, charging towards Klein once again. In the straight line between the virtual soldier and Klein was the bullet Klein had previously thrown.

"Bang." Klein made a gun shape with his hand and uttered this sound.

As the pawn passed by the bullet, the air bullet hit the pawn. The gunpowder inside the bullet on the ground exploded from under the pawn's feet under Klein's flame control.

The attacks from the front and feet caused Xu Zu to lose balance briefly.

It was a good opportunity. Klein took the opportunity to fire another shot at the Eye of Thunder, and the empty soldier was blown away and fell to the ground.

The napkin throwing knife that followed hit the virtual soldier. Although it did not cause any damage, it still triggered several blessings, adding several negative buffs to the virtual soldier and freezing it again.

This was so cool! Klein had never had such a satisfying fight before! This scene happened several times in a row, and Klein could feel Xu Zu's body growing weaker and weaker.

Negative buffs like vulnerability and weathering will not disappear over time like in the game. They will only make the affected person's defense weaker and weaker.

After the last bullet was fired, Klein took advantage of the moment when the pawn was frozen and replaced it with the last bullet given by Serris, a blue bullet.

Ceres had told him that if Xu Zu had no strength left to resist, he could finish him off with this bullet. It would have an unexpected effect.

Klein didn't know why he had to use this bullet to finish the fight. It couldn't be because this bullet could kill instantly, so he wasn't allowed to use it from the beginning.

Although the bullet seemed unable to fit into the revolver, the moment it entered the revolver it turned into a stream of light and filled in.

The blue bullet was shaped like a water droplet. A strange substance, a gradient of pale blue and white, swirled around the water droplet. It was like a cloud, floating elegantly a few centimeters around the bullet, connected only to the water droplet at its tip.

Compared to a bullet, this is actually more like a work of art. Klein was quite surprised when he first received it, because he didn't think any gun could be compatible with such a bullet. Or rather, it wasn't a bullet at all.

After being abused so many times, it’s time for me, Master Ke, to hold my head high and show off!

Let's turn the tide!
boom!
The gunshot rang out. It hit Xu Zu right between his eyebrows. Xu Zu fell to the ground, and Klein stepped forward to check.

There was no blood splattering, no head exploding. It was just a simple hole in the soldier's head.

"It has sufficient penetration, but the effect isn't as good as I expected." Klein moved slightly and walked to the outer wall at the edge of the field a hundred meters behind the virtual soldier.

There was a bullet hole on the wall, roughly corresponding to the position of Xu Zu's head just now.

Klein took out a napkin, lit it, and peered through the flames. It was still bottomless darkness.

"Hiss, maybe penetrating power isn't just about 'sufficient'." Klein pondered, if he had used this bullet from the beginning, would it have been able to kill instantly?

"Probably not. After all, that guy can cut bullets." Klein, who knew nothing, came to the conclusion.

Xu Zu's body disappeared, leaving a box in its place.

"Wow, there's a treasure chest?" Klein walked over to the chest. "Could it be a treasure chest monster?"

Fighting against a virtual pawn was the same as fighting against a wandering soul, which made Klein wonder if the designer of this simulated universe was Hidetaka Miyazaki.

What? Is he too bad?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Klein flipped a coin and did a simple divination: "I should open the box."

Among these divination abilities, the divination of oneself is the most accurate and least susceptible to influence.

The coin landed heads, indicating confirmation. Klein stepped forward and opened the treasure chest.

PS: Hehe, this is a fragment. There will be another update in the evening.

This fight scene feels a bit sloppy. But it makes sense, after all, you can't expect to fight head-on with the full power of the Blessing of Nothingness.
