Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge - Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Chapter 48: The Power of the Wild Chicken

Translator: 549690339

It’s clear that this Void Phantom Ghost Guild is a new power established in the modern era after the wild boars skinned and ran away, and it’s very likely that there’s the shadow of the Coalition of Nations behind them.

Zi Liyuan could only chuckle at the thought of the hundreds of Level too strongmen, then he wanted to spray them all in the face with spit.

A hundred years of development, and they’ve only accumulated a bit over a hundred Level 100 strongmen, it just shows this power lacks resources and really has no ability to nurture the strong.

As for those Lord big shots in the Sea of Realms becoming powers in their own right, Zi Liyuan could only chuckle again.

Any who could become a Lord in the Sea of Realms and pass the newbie period test would merge into the Realm Territory where the wild boar skin resided, and then if they tucked themselves away in some comer to eke out an existence, they could consider themselves stable.

By that account, they would also become a Lord among the strongmen, a veritable Lord big shot on Blue Star.

Through Shadow Stinger’s captain’s words, Zi Liyuan understood in just a moment what kind of evil power the Void Phantom Ghost Guild was.

No resources, no connections, no help from big shots in the Sea of Realms, aside from brainwashing and deceit, a true chicken-rib power.

“Got it, it’s time for you all to hit the road.”

With a basic deduction made, Zi Liyuan lost interest in extracting any further intel from these small fry.

“Hit the road? What road? Oh, you’re ready to follow us…”

The Shadow Stinger captain hadn’t quite caught on to what Zi Liyuan meant, but the next instant, a bunch of head-sized lumps suddenly got summoned by Zi Liyuan, and a terrible sense of crisis surged in his heart.

“Damn it! What is this?!”

“Bye-bye-”

With a massive “BOOM”, a great wave of heat rolled out, instantly flipping the villa’s floor, and the terrible explosion shockwave tore apart the villa in the blink of an eye.

Countless bullets, like lotus blossoms in the blast wave, shot out in all directions, where they passed, dust filled the air, ripping apart everything in their way.

Bricks, glass shards, dust, and wood chips enveloped the entire villa in that moment and in just an instant, a whole villa was reduced to ruins.

“Cough, cough, ptui! I’ll remember the destruction of the villa for now!” Zi Liyuan slapped off the dust and debris from his face and head, spitting fiercely, his eyes then fixed on a spot ten meters diagonally in front of him, and he pulled a dagger out from his Spatial Backpack.

“Worthy of being a third-tier professional above Level 65, in a critical moment, to actually use a subordinate as a meat shield to block damage and protect his own head.”

Holding the silver-quality dagger, Zi Liyuan walked straight up to the Shadow Stinger captain.

The guy looked miserable beyond words, from head to toe, there wasn’t an inch of skin intact, save for his head, and holes were everywhere.

If you poured water into him now, he’d probably turn into a leaky pot.

If it weren’t for the game invading reality and every professional being regulated by rules, he would have died countless times over with such injuries.

But now, this guy wasn’t dead. Through the inspection of the Eye of Shadow, this leader’s life was like a candle in the wind, yet stubbornly unextinguished and still slowly recovering.

“Worthy of being a third-tier professional, to not die even after being blasted like that, and even while in a coma, to be slowly recovering.”

Zi Liyuan clicked his tongue in amazement, scraping the dagger across the other’s neck, only to encounter some resistance.

“You look so painful, it must hurt watching this, I’ll be kind and release you from your misery. Hmm, decapitating is too bloody and cruel, I’ll just help you by sticking it into your eye, give it a little stir, so you can die outright.

The leader’s physique was rather tough, and his neck especially resistant, making it quite a struggle to sever it. To save time and prevent any chance of recovery, Zi Liyuan didn’t hesitate to stab his dagger right into the man’s eye.

A twelve-inch-long dagger plunged into the Shadow Stinger captain’s left eye, sinking in up to the hilt before being churned viciously around, turning the man’s brain into mush.

The kin-on-kin lethal attack ensured the Shadow Stinger captain died a thoroughly absolute death.

Next, it was time to reap the harvest.

The other trio that had been hiding outside the villa displayed faces filled with fear, their legs trembling uncontrollably.

If it weren’t for someone beating them to the punch, they too had planned to sneak into the villa.

Now, seeing the villa blown into a cratered ruin, and the several piles of flesh that were once their peers, the three were immensely relieved. They were lucky to have been a step slower, or else would there not be three more blobs of meat sauce on the ground?

Especially upon seeing Zi Liyuan rummaging through corpses amid the debris, the trio looked at him as if he were a demon.

An eighteen-year-old youth so brutal he’d stab people in the eye with a dagger, then stir it—this was a devil incarnate!

“Lord Kameda, do we still make contact with the target now?”

“Damn it! Let’s go! The explosion will surely attract the city guards, now’s not the time to approach the target.”

“Yes, sir!”

Kameda Taizo gave Zi Liyuan rifling through the corpses a deep look, his eyes filled with a hint of caution, quickly concealed by murderous intent.

At the same time, the Green Garden residential area erupted with a violent explosion, naturally alarming the city guards.

Two nearby patrolling squads rushed towards the explosion site with haste, reporting to headquarters immediately.

In the run-up to the entrance exams, when those with ulterior motives from evil organizations were most active, any little disturbance during this particular period garnered attention, let alone a violent explosion.

In just a few minutes, two groups of twelve city guards each had swiftly arrived at the scene of the explosion.

“Don’t move, put your hands on your head, stay where you are. The city guards are handling this; any resistance will be met with suppression on the first offense and execution on the second without further discussion!

Jiang Bao immediately commanded his subordinates to spread out and surround the site, examining bodies while his piercing gaze settled on Zi Liyuan.

“Who are you? Did you cause this explosion in the villa district?

“Officer, I am the owner of villa number 12, Zi Liyuan, eighteen years old, a Necromancer. These scoundrels broke into my home attempting to kill me and triggered a life-saving device, which caused the explosion,” Li Yuan replied, having already collected all the spoils he needed into his Spatial Backpack. He complied by putting his hands on his head and standing still, answering the officer’s question.

“Young man, do you know the organization these attackers belong to?

There were many evil organizations within the Great Xia Empire, but most were on record in the city guards’ files. Knowing which organization it was would enable the city guards to cleanse them more effectively, saving a lot of trouble. The reason Jiang Bao didn’t take the young man in for interrogation right away was that he had a keen eye for these things.

This young man could afford a detached villa and possessed such a powerful life-saving device. He was about to graduate and he had a hidden profession­al! signs suggesting a strong possibility he was a noble family’s illegitimate child being kept on the outside.

Jiang Bao surmised this, in part, because the young man lacked personal protection—most of these unacknowledged illegitimate children of noble families were treated this way.

As long as these secret children don’t cause any trouble, the city guards generally wouldn11 bother with them.
