I, V, Gotham Legend

Gordon's words were stuck in his throat. Although he was reluctant to admit it, when he saw Valerie, who had once subdued the Clayface Man, he still shamefully felt a sense of relief.

The clay-faced man who was knocked away got up again, and his empty eyes looked at Valerie, angry and excited.

"You're finally here! I'm going to kill you! Trash!"

The Clayface Man raised his hands, and the mud on his hands seemed to melt. Thin streams flowed along the contours of his arms and dripped onto the ground like a beard.

The Clayface softened the stream, then swung his arms like a whip.

The streams stretched out in the air, intertwining densely together like a big net.

This woman knocked herself away and saved the sheriff, but she also distanced herself from him. Now our distance is more than a hundred meters!

The Clayface Man learned from his last experience and this time, he deliberately chose an open battlefield as he wanted to take advantage of his long arms.

The plan was perfect, however, Valerie just flashed and disappeared on the spot.

The next moment, the Clayface Man suddenly realized that she had appeared beside him.

What! So fast!

Before the Clayface could react, Valerie had already thrown an incendiary grenade into his empty mouth.

It’s not that the police haven’t tried incendiary bombs before, but their incendiary bombs were not as unscientific as Valerie’s, which could instantly ignite a fire on wet soil.

Fortunately, the Clayface Man had already considered this situation. He shook his head and a tentacle appeared on it and swung towards Valerie, but Valerie easily dodged it.

But in this way the Clayface Man also achieved his goal. He shrunk his body into a ball and turned from a monster into a huge mud ball, allowing the mass to fill his entire body and the gas to be discharged from his body.

The grenade in his stomach, which had not yet had time to burn, was crushed by the sudden increase in weight.

A human face appeared on the mud ball and looked at Valerie provocatively.

Valerie raised her eyebrows, then pulled out a bunch of grenades from her pocket. With her production ability that surpassed her physical cognition, she could fill a building with these things in a few seconds.

Of course, she wouldn't do that. No matter how much material there was, it was limited. Valerie felt that enough was enough.

The veins on the Clayface's no-longer-existent body throbbed violently as he watched Valerie pull out a bunch of grenades like a cartoon character.

Valerie threw grenades at the Clayface. The dense number of grenades like raindrops made the Clayface want to escape, but he still tried to overcome his fear.

Kill her, if I kill her I will be invincible.

The mud-ball-like body of the Clayface Man unfolded like a shell, and tentacles stretched out from it to form a large net, catching all the grenades.

Before they could explode, the Clayface regrouped and crushed all the grenades.

But Valerie is no pushover. While the Clayface Man was busy dealing with the grenades, she had already flashed in front of him and took out a bunch of grenades from her pocket.

The Clayface was so scared that he jumped up like a spring, trying to keep some distance.

Valerie only took a quick glance and easily calculated the landing point of the Clayface Man. She threw all the grenades where the Clayface Man landed.

This time the Clayface Man was too late to stop the burning, and he watched helplessly as the place where he was about to land was engulfed by fire.

Of course he would not allow himself to fall into the sea of ​​fire, so the Clayface stretched out his tentacles and hooked a street lamp in the distance. Using the street lamp as a fulcrum, the Clayface swung across the sea of ​​fire.

He inevitably came into contact with the flames, and the unscientific fire tried to ignite his wet body. Fortunately, the sparks could not cause any damage. The clay-faced man fell to the ground and rolled a few times, and the sparks were extinguished.

The Clayface reassembled into a human form. He angrily smashed the ground beneath his feet with his hands, leaving spider-web-like cracks on the asphalt road.

The Clayface looked at Valerie with anger and fear. These few seconds of fighting only left one feeling in the Clayface's heart.

despair.

V's ammunition reserves, as well as her reaction and speed, were like an abyss, filling the Clayface with bottomless despair.

Valerie measured the distance between her and the Clayface Man, then she used the Charge again. With a flash of her body, she was in front of the Clayface Man again.

The Clayface hurriedly swung his arms, turning them into long whips and lashing at Valerie, but Valerie dodged them with just a jump like skipping rope. The mantis blade popped out from his right arm, flashing with an arc of electricity and slashing at the Clayface's head.

The Clayface finally caught up with Valerie's speed, and his head bent like plasticine, dodging Valerie's attack.

But Valerie reacted faster, and her slash turned into a thrust, piercing through the Clayface's head.

The electric current from the mantis blade could not cause fatal damage to the clayface man, but it was enough to divert his attention. Valerie used her free left hand to pull out a bunch of incendiary grenades from her pocket and spread them under the clayface man's feet like beans.

But at the moment the grenade hit the ground, tentacle-like soil emerged from the cracked ground and blew the incendiary bombs around like a whip.

The Clayface Man was able to let his body seep into the cracks like water, and he certainly didn't just smash the ground to vent his anger.

But the amount of soil he could control was limited, and he couldn't stop the grenade from exploding like he did before. He could only clear out a safe zone like this.

The surroundings were engulfed in flames, leaving only the small area where Valerie and the Clayface were.

The Clayface shook his head and pulled the mantis knife out of his skull. He tried his best to retreat, trying to get as far away from Valerie as possible, but before he could take a few steps, he reached the edge of the sea of ​​fire.

Despair and fear once again devoured the Clayface Man's heart, which had been hard-pressed to become strong.

NO15. Let go

Outside the flames, Sheriff Gordon was organizing the police officers to retreat. The Gotham Police Department could no longer provide any real help in this battle between gods, and the right choice was not to drag Valerie down.

Having said that, as a policeman, Gordon was unwilling to escape just like that, so he deployed his subordinates around the battlefield in case of emergency.

Looking at Valerie who had always suppressed the Clayface, Gordon felt deeply tired again.

Clayface never used all these fancy moves when fighting with the police, but even so, Gordon still felt powerless when facing this monster.

Just like he realized that he was powerless to change Gotham no matter what.

At this time, the Clayface swung his tentacle-like arms again, and the mud lurking under Valerie's feet also ejected from the crack in the shape of a cone.

Although the range of action was narrowed to a small circle, in the eyes of the Clayface Man, the environment in which Valerie could dodge was also severely restricted, and his attack was unavoidable.

Unfortunately, this was not the case for Valerie. She jumped onto the Clayface Man's shoulder, and the mud spikes that came out of the ground and the Clayface Man's whip all missed.

As soon as she stood firm, the mantis knives on her arms popped out at the same time and pierced into the sides of the clay-faced man's head where his temples should be.

Then, Valerie put her fists together, maintaining the posture of stabbing the Clayman with the knife, kicked the Clayman's shoulder with her foot, rolled forward and jumped to the ground behind the Clayman, directly pulling the Clayman's huge body with her, and he fell back.

The heat of the flames blasted directly into Valerie's face, and she was only one step away from the wall of fire.

Valerie swung the arm that was holding the clay-masked man's head behind her like she was swinging a coat. The huge force that was inconsistent with her petite body directly threw the clay-masked man into the air. He drew a fierce arc in the air and was thrown directly into the sea of ​​fire in front of her.

The flames reproduced with the power of the game would still burn even without fuel. The flames quickly jumped onto the body of the clay-faced man. Even under normal circumstances, a sea of ​​fire of this scale would be enough to engulf him.

"Ooooooooo!"

Clayface realized that he was burning, and the memory of the fire he encountered on the crew came back to his mind, and he subconsciously cried out in pain.

Valerie looked at the giant beast struggling in the sea of ​​fire and still did not dare to relax. She vaguely remembered that it was because of her carelessness that this guy escaped last time.

The Clayface rolled in the sea of ​​fire. He felt no pain, but his psychological trauma and fear of death still made him struggle in vain.

“Wooah! Ga…gaah, ahahahahahaha!”

The surface layer of the Clay-Faced Man's body had already charred and fallen off, and the new yellow mud underneath would soon be engulfed by the flames, but the Clay-Faced Man suddenly laughed at this moment.

I'm lucky! Fate is on my side!

As Valerie looked on in amazement, the Clayface pounded the pavement beneath his feet, sending bricks and dust flying along with the flames.

Suddenly, he broke something and water gushed out from under his feet.

As expected! Clayface was delighted.

The mud seeped into my feet and I felt that I had landed on a section of water pipe!

No matter how unscientific Valerie's flames were, they would still be extinguished under such a large amount of water. The fire on his body was extinguished, and the Clayface Man's dry body became moist again, and he was reborn once again.

"Hahaha, it's useless. I have water. There's water everywhere! Your little trick is useless!"

The Clayface laughed wildly, his empty eyes glaring at Valerie.

As Valerie looked at the Clayface hiding in the splashing tap water, she felt as if she were seeing a bird bluffing in a safe cage.

For humans, catching a bird that is already in a cage is as easy as taking something from a bag.

Valerie put away the mantis knife, then took out a samurai sword from her pocket and pressed her left fingers lightly.

The clay-faced man's hands twitched again, becoming as hard as stone. He was no longer afraid of being approached! Within the range of water, he was invincible!

Just as the Clayface was about to swing his whip-like hand, he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him that he had heard not long ago.

Then, he felt a familiar impact. The Clayface was hit directly by the speeding car and flew in front of Valerie again.

Outside the battlefield, Gordon, who was in the safe zone, suddenly discovered that the car that Valerie had parked not far from him had disappeared.

Summoning vehicles is an ability that Valerie inherited from the game. What is different from the game performance is that Valerie can choose the form and direction in which the vehicle is summoned.

Clayface realized that he was hit by the same thing again and struggled to get up, but before he could raise his head, a samurai sword nailed his head to the ground.

"You are not allowed to go anywhere." Valerie squatted in front of the clay-faced man and said coldly. The clay-faced man noticed that she took out another incendiary bomb.

"No... You can't do this!" Clayface was finally at his wit's end. "Please, I'm just a poor man... I used to have a relatively happy life... This company caused me to lose my family and forced me to become a monster like this!"

The Clayface's voice was full of emotion as he recalled the moment he received the bad news about his father, the suppressed anger and self-blame burning in his heart.

"You are a kind-hearted person, you should be able to understand my hatred! I was only forced! Now I don't even have the identity of a normal person! Don't I even have the right to revenge?!"

The Clayface became more and more aggrieved as he spoke: "My father gave up his life to save me. I can't just die like this! Please spare my life. I swear, after I get my revenge, I will leave Gotham immediately!"

Valerie stared at the Clayface's head. Although he couldn't see her eyes, the Clayface could sense that she was hesitating.

Yes, be soft-hearted. When you let me go, you will definitely reveal your weakness. Then, I will use my strong arms to break your neck, you bastard!

The Clayface thought to himself, and his request became more earnest: "You have family too! Can you really do this to me? Let me go! I just want revenge, nothing else!"

Valerie stood up, and a triumphant smile appeared in the Clayface's heart.

Yes, that's it, pull out this knife and let me break your neck!

The Clayface laughed evilly in his heart.

"drop."

However, all he heard was the sound of Valerie pulling the trigger on the grenade.

"It's none of my business." Valerie curled her lips.

The sudden begging for mercy from this mad monster in the midst of a life-and-death battle did indeed startle Valerie for a moment, but that was all.

It wasn't me who caused your father's death. I just did the job for the money. You are morally blackmailing me.

Valerie threw a grenade and the flames burned the clay-faced man's entire body again.

NO16. First Encounter

The Clayface finally gave up resistance this time, and his body was completely burned by the flames. The huge clay body was burned to scorched earth by the raging fire.

The surrounding sea of ​​fire gradually subsided. The flames from the game world did not need combustibles to burn, but the price was that they would naturally disappear once the duration was up without fuel.

Fortunately, the battle is over now and these flames are no longer needed, so there is no need to put out the fire.

Although the Clayface Man had stopped moving, Valerie did not let her guard down. She felt that the Clayface Man had such a strong desire to survive that he might have some way to escape, so she decided to search again.

……

In a hidden alley just one street away from Simon Building.

A manhole cover seemed to be backwash, and the yellow muddy water pushed it up.

The humanoid Clayface climbed out of the sewer wearily.

"Almost...almost died." The Clay-faced Man thought with lingering fear.

After knowing that he could not survive, the Clayface transferred his consciousness into the mud that had been lurking underground and fled for his life like crazy.

The psychological trauma caused by the confrontation with Valerie in this battle surpassed that of the fire, and Clayface swore that he never wanted to see that woman again.

He struggled to crawl to the ground and stood up with difficulty. At this time, his body was just mud. He couldn't even turn into a normal person. He was just a mud man as thin as a bamboo pole, who had difficulty standing.

The Clayface Man remembered that there was a park not far from here, which contained enough soil reserves to restore him to his peak. The amount of soil he could control was limited, and it could only grow to a maximum of three meters, but there must be enough soil for him to perfectly transform into a human form.

Just like that, find the mud, turn back into a human, then leave Gotham and never go back to this damn place. As for revenge, I'll talk about it after I can defeat that woman!

The Clayface Man staggered towards the park. He had made sure before this operation that it was safe here and no one would come here at night.

He thought so until he suddenly noticed a person appeared in front of him.

The man was lurking in the darkness, with only a pair of glowing eyes staring at him. He was sturdy, all black, with horns like ears on his head like a bat.
