Leinster felt as if he was already right in front of a door that could save his life, but the door refused to open, not even opening a crack for him to peek.
[Ahhhh! What do I do now? Can I discard the other emotions and fill up the Fear Gauge?]
Leinster asked his manifested ability and the OmO system imdiately helped,
[Master, master, just buy skills, use them on your enemies and then fill up the Fear Gauge!]
There was so much fear condensing in the air. It would be easy to suck 300 Emo in one go.
[Okay, okay! Recomnd what to buy— ]
Leinster’s thought was suddenly cut off as an ominous purple mist suddenly wafted towards him and Oton Lover, even slowly filling up a part of the store.
He had a bad feeling about this strange mist.
"Don’t inhale it!"
Leinster reminded Oton Lover while he himself held his breath, but apparently, the thing worked just by touching the skin, no need for inhalation.
In just a split second, Leinster suddenly felt his body growing weak and his stomach churning, his mind beca so dizzy that even his hallucination paled in comparison.
"What...is this?"
Poison? Is soone using poison?
Is it the custor or the challenger?
If it was the custor...
So far, he had never seen any of the ghosts using abilities aside from their physical bodies.
Unlike Leinster who was kept in the dark— literally, audiences who could switch between livestreams imdiately found the source of the purple mist.
[Ah? Is this challenger crazy? Does he want to drag everyone to hell with him?]
[Damn it. He wants to immobilize the ghosts that block his path, but he doesn’t care whether the other challengers will be implicated or not!]
[Hey, he’s a veteran challenger! How could he do this?? Isn’t he afraid that the audience won’t give him Life Votes??]
But the person with a poison ability clearly had a group of loyal fans who would still give him votes, no matter what he did.
After releasing the poison, the person gave an antidote to a woman with a face 100% similar to his own.
The woman swallowed the antidote and then a few knives of all sizes flew in the air, slashing at the immobilized ghosts around them.
"Brother, let’s go!"
"Okay! Good job!"
The two veterans, who were clearly twins, imdiately rushed out of the encirclent, not caring about the fate of other trapped challengers.
If Leinster was here, he would have recognized the knives that were flying around the woman because there was a tiny pocket knife among them.
She’s the assassin who attacked him in the dark!
Leinster felt that his body was growing stiff, much like the corpses around him and before he could curse whoever released the poison, the OmO system ca out with a bang.
[Trapped in a poison mist? Buy a Teardrop Barrier for only 20 Emo, OmO]
[All kinds of poisons, attacks and other dangerous things will be blocked as long as they’re of the sa level as your barrier, OmO~ ]
[Valid for 1 minute]
[Upgrade your barrier by one level to last by another minute~ just add 10 more Sorrow Emo!]
Leinster imdiately waved his hand.
Buy it!
The upgrade version!
DING! [Thank you for purchasing a level 2 "Teardrop Barrier"!]
[-30 Sorrow Emo]
A blue mist swirled on Leinster’s palm and soon, it ford a tiny, tiny drop of...tear.
Under Leinster’s gaze, the tear slowly expanded, forming a 360° enclosed shield, protecting him and Oton Lover.
The poison mist inside the barrier was quickly expelled and the air they inhaled beca pure again— albeit it still slled rotten.
Seeing this formidable barrier that only cost him 30 Sorrow Emo, Leinster almost kissed his own ability— if it had an entity.
[Ahhhh! Emo Market, you’re the best!]
This market kept producing skills that he needed the most.
If not for the penalties, this ability would have been so good.
Leinster’s whole body was "floating" with every step as he ramd towards the crowd of ghosts, treating his barrier as a bulldozer.
Bang!
"Hahahaha! Make way! Make way!"
The barrier shook, even showing signs of cracking, but Leinster didn’t mind and quickly cut a path through the sea of ghosts.
Before the two-minute duration ended, both he and Oton Lover successfully left the clothing store, standing in the corridor.
Once they escaped from the encirclent, Leinster found a dark corner and squatted with Oton Lover, who was still bewildered.
When did Leinster create a barrier?
Just how many abilities does he have? Or maybe those abilities are just a part of his one ability?
But isn’t his ability the "Father of Monster", rumored to be able to create monsters, ruling over all those strange beings from the ruins?
Leinster didn’t know Oton Lover’s suspicion and just took a deep breath, calming down his weak heart before he spoke with all seriousness.
"Is it just my feelings, or are the challengers affected by sothing? They all seem to be obsessed with hunting ."
If only ordinary people were affected, that’s fine, but so far, it was actually the challengers who were so obsessed with killing him.
Sothing just felt wrong.
Oton Lover felt a flash of enlightennt in her mind and she imdiately slapped her thigh with excitent.
"The Hunting Spree! This mall is encouraging the custors and all of us to hunt..."
Those challengers must have been affected by the ruin, but they didn’t even realize that.
"A hunting spree...it is almost an hour since we entered the ruin, but we haven’t even found any clues about the target of our mission, " Leinster added while rubbing his chin.
Who is the guardian spirit of this mall?
How do they find this entity?
All this ti, they were driven to enter the stores to secure oil lamps but those stores tried every trick to turn them into products.
Then, there was the sudden "Bounty Event" and the entire ruin descended into madness.
Is this the guardian spirit’s doing?
