Benning glared at Misasa, but Misasa waved her hand nonchalantly, as if Wei'er had just been bitten by a mosquito.

After that, Misasha didn't care what happened to Wei'er, but just stared at Banning with a smile.

"Okay, I'm going to explain the rules now. You better listen carefully, Benning, because I don't like to repeat the same thing twice."

In Mishasha's childish yet strange voice, the explanation of the rules of the "game" began.

·

As the explanation began, Misasa used her octopus tentacles to draw a large circle with a radius of ten meters in the open space next to her.

She told Banning that next, she would let Verelle wake up, and then have Benning and Verelle fight one-on-one in the circle. As long as Banning was hit by Verelle, Verelle would win. The condition for Banning to win was to pull out the "Chaos Thorn" that she had just stabbed into the back of Verelle's neck.

"Got it, let's get started," Banning urged impatiently.

"Don't be impatient, I haven't finished yet~"

Mishasha still had a creepy smile on her face. She raised three fingers to Banning and told him that there were three additional conditions to follow in the battle:

First, since Wei'er is currently only at level 3, Banning can only use skills from levels 1, 2, and 3;

Second, Banning cannot wear equipment in battle, nor can he use the skills of the equipment;

Third, Banning cannot use any props;

"One last thing. If you step out of the circle, you lose, regardless of whether you land or not. Do you understand? Is there anything else you don't understand?"

In response to Mishasha's question, Banning shook his head, indicating that he had no questions. Then he decisively took off all his equipment, leaving only a cloth shirt and trousers, no different from an ordinary person. Then he resolutely walked into the circle.

"I'm ready, let's start." Banning, with his bare hands, looked at Misasa with a firm gaze and said.

On the street at the edge of the town.

In the space enclosed by the vast number of octopus tentacles of the Endless Abyss Mishasha.

Banning stood in a circle with a radius of ten meters, looking at Misasa.

Next to them, Wei'er, who was still unconscious, was tied up in the octopus tentacles. The small purple-black metal needle sticking out from the back of her neck made people's scalps tingle.

Facing Banning's urging, Misasa felt as if she had made the conditions too easy. However, she believed it was just an illusion. With hundreds of years of combat experience, she wouldn't have misjudged Banning's strength.

——(That's amazing, Benning! I want to give you a medal for "Iron-Headed Boy.")

Misasa thought quietly in her mind and decided to continue playing the "game" according to the original plan.

For Misasa, if the purpose of designing the rules is to kill Banning, then the rules can be made stricter, but killing Banning is not her goal, at least not now.

Mishasha's real purpose now is to see this former couple love and hate each other, so she just needs to set the rules so that the two (three) people are evenly matched.

In Misasha's opinion, it is impossible for a conscious Banning to accidentally kill Verelle, but if Verelle kills Banning under the influence of the "Thorn of Chaos", then when she regains consciousness, Misasha will have a very interesting show to watch.

9.71 - Valere's Onslaught

"Sure, since you're so impatient, let's get started~ Hahaha~"

Mishasha stretched out her finger and gently placed it on the end of the "Chaos Thorn" on the back of Wei'er's neck. She injected some magic power appropriately, and then, Wei'er, who had been unconscious, quickly woke up...

However, after waking up, Wei'er's eyes were abnormally bloodshot, emitting a murderous red glow. She was obviously not the gentle and lovely Wei'er in her normal state.

Now, this girl with short fluffy hair has changed from her usual lively appearance. She is silent and doesn't say a word. She also keeps making creepy growls from her throat, looking like she is ready to kill anyone she sees.

"Be good, little darling, it's not time to kill yet~"

Mishasha came to Wei'er nonchalantly, then used her octopus tentacles to prop up her body, and then put her hands on Wei'er's head and stroked it back and forth, just like stroking a puppy.

Then, Mishasha pointed at Banning who was not far away, and whispered in Wei'er's ear: "Did you see that boy? Yes, that's right, go kill him, hehe~"

As her "master" Misasa gave permission, Wei'er immediately switched to the personality of Elle, and then rushed towards Banning like an arrow!

——(Hahahaha~ The good show is finally going on!)

Seeing this scene, Mishasha couldn't help laughing. The love-hate relationship between (former) lovers was exactly what she wanted to see!

·

·

In order to see this wonderful show, Mishasha can be said to have spent a lot of money.

Items with powerful effects like the "Thorn of Chaos" are not easily obtained. Even an old monster like Misasa, who has lived for over 130 years, has only got this one that she just used, and this item is disposable.

Now, under Mishasha's order, whether it is Wei'er or Elle, they will attack Banning with all their strength until they kill him.

The rest depends on whether Banning can successfully remove the "Thorn of Chaos" under the rules required by Misasa.

So, will Banning be defeated by Valere because of the constraints of the rules?

If he can't win, will Banning break the rules in order to survive?

Thinking of this, Misasa was very willful and shouted loudly to add a new rule to Banning, making the boy's situation even worse.

"By the way, Benning, if you break the rules, I'll kill Verelle first, and then I'll kill you too. Do you understand? Do your best! Hahahaha~!"

The merciless laughter, like the whisper of a devil, continued to echo in this strange and enclosed space.

·

In the circle on the ground, Banning was fighting hard, while Misasa was smiling happily.

In addition to the superficial restrictions, the rules set by Misasa also have many "hidden influences" on Banning.

In Mishasha's opinion, someone as experienced in combat as Banning must have his own set of fighting methods. After restricting his skills and equipment, it would be like removing a few gears from a set of precise gears, causing him to have "action jams" in various situations.

In addition, Banning also needs to do some extra "burden-like thinking" during the battle. For example, every time he wants to do something, he needs to think about whether it complies with the rules. In this way, his various movements will become sluggish.

On the other hand, under the effect of "Chaos Thorn", Wei'er and Banning will not hesitate to attack without any hesitation, and the original "Dual Soul in One" combat mode can also be used. Therefore, even if Wei'er and Banning have a certain gap in basic attributes, it has been compensated by these additional advantages.

Under the restrictions of Misasa's rules, this will become a battle of equal strength... no, it will even be a battle in which Wei'er has the advantage.

——(Come on, Banning…)

——(Come on, Wei Er Ai Er…)

——(I've invested so much money, please let me enjoy it~)

Watching Wei'er Ai'er approaching aggressively;

Watching Banning's gloomy face as he retreated step by step;

Endless Abyss Mishasha sat leisurely on the "chair" made of curled octopus tentacles, happily and attentively enjoying the "wonderful duel" she had been waiting for for a long time.

·

"Shua——! Shua——!"

The sound of sharp blades cutting through the air continued to ring out, and the "scissor blade narrow knife" held in each hand of Elle continued to slash at Banning mercilessly.

Benning was dodging with difficulty in the limited space and was nearly stabbed by Elle's sudden attacks several times. Fortunately, his dodging method of rolling and crawling saved his life. However, his clothes had been cut in several places and the cut skin was oozing bright red blood.

Ai'er became even more angry because she was unable to inflict fatal damage to the target. At this time, she returned the control of her body to Wei'er. Then Wei'er took out a bottle of "Agility Potion" from her belt, applied the skill "Drug Effect Enhancement" and swallowed it in one breath.

The agility potion took effect immediately, and Elle took over the body again, launching a series of attacks at Banning at an even faster speed!

I saw Elle waving two narrow knives, sometimes sweeping horizontally and sometimes slashing vertically. Each slash was accompanied by a frightening sound of breaking through the air, but she could only touch Banning and could not cause him serious damage.

Ai'er felt very frustrated about this situation because she was good at confronting the enemy head-on, not catching this jumping guy.

Seeing Banning rolling on the spot and avoiding another double blow, Ai'er finally seized the opportunity, turned around and used the third-level skill "Ghost Flash"!

In an instant, the translucent ghost rushed towards Banning at an extremely fast speed as Ai'er's skill was activated. Banning, who had just stood up from the ground, had no time to adjust his posture and was forced to jump sideways to avoid this fierce attack!

However, "Ghost Flash" actually has two attacks. After the ghost flashed out, Elle accurately caught the moment when Banning was still in mid-air and stabbed Banning in the stomach with both knives!

——(Go to hell!)

Elle was extremely confident about this attack, but unexpectedly, at the moment when the two knives were about to stab Banning, Banning reached out and grasped the tip of the "scissor blade narrow knife", and then used the force of Elle's stab to do a side flip in the air, and landed above Elle's head in one fell swoop, and then stepped on Elle's shoulder and successfully jumped behind Elle!

This series of actions was so fast that Elle couldn't react at all. When she turned around and looked at Banning again, she found that Banning had failed to land and fell on his back.

Jiang Ran fell down, but he did it on purpose.

Because, if nothing went wrong just now, it would seem that it was too easy for him to deal with Wei'er.

Yes, that's right. From the beginning of the battle until now, Jiang Ran has actually been acting. Even with the restrictions of Misasa's strict rules, he still has enough room to defeat Wei'er.

As for why Jiang Ran deliberately pretended to be fighting a hard battle, it was because he had seen through the intentions of Endless Abyss Mishasha.

9.72 - A life-or-death struggle

Jiang Ran could see that Mishasha just wanted to see him and Wei'er in pain and distress, so he couldn't appear too relaxed during the battle - otherwise, God knows what ridiculous things this old monster would do after his expectations were dashed.

However, it is impossible for Jiang Ran to really lose to Wei'er Ai'er, because losing to Wei'er Ai'er will only result in one outcome, and that is: "death".

Therefore, the only thing Jiang Ran could do was to have a "hard fight" with Wei'er and then "win with difficulty."

This duel may seem like a battle between Jiang Ran and Wei'er, but in fact it is a game between Jiang Ran and the Endless Abyss, Mishasha. The key to success or failure lies entirely in Jiang Ran's grasp of the "degree of cruelty" and whether his acting is realistic enough.

As for why Jiang Ran could still easily deal with Wei'er under the restrictions of layers of rules, in addition to the fact that his own attribute strength had greatly surpassed the "Last Impression" of Endless Abyss Mishasha, there were two other factors that were also crucial.

The first factor was that Jiang Ran not only advanced once more after his last meeting with Endless Abyss·Mishasha, but also passed the "Fifth Level Difficulty·Purple Trial".

Purple Trials were considered "outside of common sense" in the Prison Star World. The attribute rewards they offered to challengers far exceeded those of other levels of trials. Therefore, this "information gap" led Mishasha to misjudge Jiang Ran's true strength.

The second factor is the "Super-Dimensional Divine Eye" that has supported Jiang Ran to where he is today. This is Jiang Ran's special ability that Misasa is unaware of and cannot perceive.

With the help of the red light warning, the all-round vision brought by the no-blind-angle observation ability, and Jiang Ran's physical fitness far superior to Wei'er and Ai'er, even with bare hands, he can calmly deal with Ai'er's double-sword slash.

Seeing Ai'er's double swords coming at him again, Jiang Ran "quickly" used his hands and feet to get up from the ground, then dodged while "sincerely" shouting to Wei'er and Ai'er.

"Weier! Ai'er! Stop it now!"

"I'm Banning! Banning from Ella Village!"

"You are now controlled by Misasa's tool! Wake up!"

"I believe you can do it!"

In order to help Wei'er overcome the control effect of "Chaos Thorn", Jiang Ran shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice full of emotion.

With such superb acting skills, it is no exaggeration to say that it would not be surprising even if he really woke up Wei'er.

It’s a pity that the “mouth-to-mouth” tactics in anime works don’t work in this Prison Star world. Jiang Ran’s shouting makes Ai’er’s attack even more fierce.

·

Jiang Ran acted very dedicatedly and seriously, and Endless Abyss Mishasha, who was watching the show on the side, was also very happy to watch it.

What she wanted to see was this kind of corny and sensational drama that gave her goosebumps.

"Try harder, Wei'er, Ai'er, have you forgotten how this guy betrayed your feelings?"

Mishasha was enjoying the fun and shouted loudly to fan the flames.

Her words did not have the effect she expected when they entered the mind of Wei'er, who had lost her rationality at this time. However, as the user of the "Thorn of Chaos", Misasa's words were "an urging from the master" to Wei'er, thus further stimulating their desire to kill.

“Ahhhhhh——!!!”

Elle roared angrily, and she combined the two "Narrow Scissor Blades" into one, forming the "Devil Eye Scissor Blades", and swung them towards Banning fiercely!

Seeing this, Banning retreated immediately, but Elle's attack was just a feint. After forcing Banning to the edge of the circle, she immediately stopped and handed control of her body to Wei'er.

As soon as Wei'er came on the court, she clasped her hands together in front of her chest and made a praying gesture, then used her second-level skill "Holy Light Barrier", blocking Banning's escape space in front and on both sides with pure white holy light.

Then, she prayed again, and based on the existing "Holy Light Barrier", she used her newly acquired third-level skill "Holy Light Spear"!

A sacred song rang out from nowhere, and holy light descended from the sky once again. Sharp spears of holy light shot out from the holy light barrier surrounding Wei'er, instantly piercing through the entire space in front of her! This included the area where Banning was standing!

Under this all-around attack, Wei'er finally hit Banning! The silver-white holy light spear pierced his side, making him unable to move for a moment!

Obviously, Wei'er and Ai'er's chance to win has finally come. At this moment, as long as she switches to Ai'er's personality and then rushes straight forward to finish off the enemy, the fruits of victory will be firmly in her pocket.

However, something surprising happened to Misasa at this moment. Wei'er did not switch her personality, but stayed in place with her body trembling.

This strange look was as if she was resisting the control of the "Thorns of Chaos"!
