"I accept."
[Death Match has been accepted. Until one person is dead, you will be locked in place.]
"Gukakaka! I will make you regret ssing with !"
In an instant, my head twisted, making view the world from the opposite of what it should be. I didn't expect this midget to be this strong and fast.
It was sothing no one in my world could be compared to. Zalga did a great job hiding his strength, even if it was unintentional. His figure made it hard to deem him as soone strong.
"Tsk."
I heard the gremlin click his tongue once he thought this battle was over. He was still short, and his lost height hadn't co back.
"I'm still alive."
Not only was it the midget that had his spine tingle, but the spectator also. They saw how I spoke without worry, with my head twisted around.
"So your race has that kind of ability. Annoying but not impossible to deal with."
Now that's just racist--way to assu that humans had so freaky ability that was disgusting to look at.
Like before, the speed he had shown was trendous. This ti he severed and bisected into two pieces. Thinking about how I would kill him, he stared at my body, observing my insides.
I could quickly kill him with my skill, but how should I do it? This was the most troubling problem that had always occurred when I was in a situation like this.
"I think you misunderstood sothing, it's my skill that keeping alive. I'm practically unkillable. Your physical attacks are pretty useless."
The man looked at in despair. In a death match like this, it was practically impossible to win. Unless one of us dies, we will be stuck here forever. As for my cut-up body, it repaired itself, and I was good as new.
"You're welco to try again. I also don't feel any pain from being hurt."
"You also can't kill !"
I shook my head and ridiculed him. He might be strong enough to have this much confidence, but he was still soone venerable to death.
"During this whole match, you have shrunk by another twenty centiters. Does being small not matter once you reach a certain height? You haven't noticed this at all."
Being the size of a two-year-old, I stared down at him. I could step on his head and make it burst if I wanted to. The little man stared at , concerned about what would happen and what he should be.
"Are you going to shrink to the size of an ant???"
"How perceptive of you. I'm going to stomp you in front of the audience."
"With your speed! It impossible for you to do that!"
"That's where you are wrong."
Zalga's expression hardened once he heard what I said. As his height kept shrinking, he was the size of my shoes.
"It's ti for your death stop."
The midget felt sothing entangled in him. All movent he had ceased to exist. He panicked when he knew what was going to happen. My leg was a few steps away from squishing him.
"STOP!!!"
He scread out loud, his voice quieter, with his pitch increasing as his size decreased. I didn't care about his plea. Zalga intended to do sothing horrible to , knowing I was new to this hub.
Blood started to spew when my foot crushed his entire body. It was like I stepped on a cockroach when I tried to twist my foot, making sure it was dead.
"You're pretty tough. You're still alive even when I'm squishing you with all my strength."
Zalga couldn't even speak with him under my foot. The blood on my shoe would need to be cleaned, and those who were spectating were interested in what I could do.
Eventually, the man on my foot bled out. Well shit... This negative status was starting to affect my mind. In ten minutes, this cruelty of mine had already taken shape.
[Challenger Zalga has been killed. Everything he owns is now yours.]
Looking at the system, I realized I had forgotten to take my rewards for the seven invasions I had done. I can check them out when I leave the hub.
When the battle was over, the spectators had left, leaving so people to stare at . A group of n approached when I was about to leave. Observing them, they seem like thugs, pretty untrustworthy people.
"You. What's your na? Your style of fighting intrigues ."
"Shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"
The man who acted like the leader laughed when he heard what I said. Was he soone well-known around the area?
"It's been a while since soone had asked that. I'm June Bull, one of the leading gang mbers of this hub."
A gang mber? Those were extinct back in our world. Small gang mbers are almost impossible unless you count a cri organization as one.
"Gang?"
"You may think this place is a lawful place with the system's killing rule, but that is further from the truth."
I figured that out when the gremlin dueled , but gang mbers? There was a slight interest when I heard about gangs in this place.
June was explaining everything as I thought of my idea. Despite being a gang mber, he seems passionate about his role.
"So now that I said my na, what's yours?"
"Charles."
"How about it? Does our gang appeal to you?"
Cliche. With power, I don't need to join anyone. While I'm still technically working for Linsey, she hasn't asked much of .
"Sorry, but working under anyone isn't my style."
June didn't show any negative reaction when I rejected his offer. He didn't seem surprised by my choice.
As for his gang, it was the opposite. Their boss was charismatic, so being rejected in front of them didn't sit well with them.
"I knew it. If you want to reconsider, my gang Nova will welco you any ti."
"Let's go, boys."
June and his man left after I rejected their offer. With them gone, another ten minutes were gone.
