Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Epic Weapon, Hell Roar!

Lu Ce didn’t waste much time. He knew that even in a Hell Mode game, the ultimate “solution” shouldn’t be a direct clash between him and the enemy. Just like his first beginner's game, the completion method probably wasn’t to kill the Guide directly.

But who told him he was chosen by the Chosen of Agony? Who told him he wanted to stand at the highest point and feel the “pain”?

So, sorry, Tom, looks like it's gonna be a fight for the thrill.

He knew that his previous punch was unlikely to take the opponent down. The enemy was too strong, so he started enhancing himself on the spot!

He first used 20 Pain Points to raise the mysterious, unknown Spirit from 1 to 3. That was the learning standard. He then used the special skill scroll he had just received.

Special Skill Scroll, Extract!

【—Acquired a powerful skill, Scholar's Right Hand!】

【Scholar's Right Hand: Your right hand has self-learning capabilities. It can proficiently use any item, as long as your right hand can operate it!】

【Description: If you don’t know how to do something, leave it to your brother!】

This was his first time learning an extraordinary-level skill, and he now realized that skills had levels. According to the game’s description, there were four types: Normal, Powerful, Berserk, and Forbidden Spell. Quite simple.

This ordinary skill lottery scroll could only draw Normal or Powerful skills, and his luck seemed pretty good.

There was no time to think too much. Lu Ce didn’t savor it and immediately continued drawing!

He had kept these items unused, thinking that he’d enhance his combat power when necessary. If not, he could possibly trade them with others. But now, clearly, this was the necessary moment!

Epic Weapon Lottery Scroll *2. These were rewards from his last perfect completion, all exchanged.

【—Acquired Epic Weapon, Mirage Cloak!】

【Mirage Cloak: Can change into any type of clothing appearance according to your requirements and ideas. It has some defensive capabilities and can perfectly block a handgun bullet from ten meters away, with self-repair functionality.】

【Description: I know you might think this is a useless item, "An Epic Weapon, just this?" You might think like that, but trust me, this thing is really cool! And it’s cost-effective.】

Lu Ce: ...

An Epic Weapon, just this?!

Even though your description already said what I was thinking, I still have to say it!

【—Acquired Epic Weapon, Hell Roar!】

【Hell Roar: A handgun-shaped weapon, or it could be considered a hand cannon! The attack has three levels.】

【Beginner Level: No energy consumption, and the bullets fired are equivalent to rifle bullets in power!】

【Advanced Level: Consumes 0.5% of energy, and the attack power is equivalent to a small grenade launcher.】

【Hell Roar Level: The real Hell Roar, the energy consumption adjusts on its own. The more energy consumed, the higher the terrifying power of the attack! The recoil will be higher!】

【Description: Charging method, life-harvesting charging, don’t ask me if this doesn’t follow science! It’s just set this way!】

“Oh?”

Lu Ce stood up in surprise, as if discovering something interesting. Just by the length of the description, this seemed much more substantial than that Mirage Cloak. At least it looked like it had something going for it.

“Hell Roar, sounds like it has something to it…”

After weighing it for a moment, Lu Ce stood up and looked at Tom, who had also managed to rise from the rubble.

Tom’s condition was clearly different from his own. Other than a dent in his head, he didn’t seem to have any major problems.

But Lu Ce was different. With his injuries, he could easily be sent to the emergency room in a normal hospital.

But it didn’t matter. His Pain Points were rising, and all he needed to do was pop some pills.

He pulled out a Basic Healing Potion and chugged it down quickly. Lu Ce made full use of his Greed ability and drank like a beast.

“You... are you really fine?!”

Tom, whose brain had almost stopped shaking, stared at Lu Ce in disbelief, shocked at his physical strength. The last player who guessed his identity had died from just that first attack!

This guy is that tough?

Bang!

In response, the sound of a gunshot echoed. Lu Ce raised Hell Roar and fired a shot at Tom.

With the gun in his right hand, the Scholar’s Right Hand skill became incredibly useful at this moment. Lu Ce, who had never touched a gun before, was now a master, firing a perfect shot without needing to familiarize himself!

Tom’s mechanical hand raised up, with electromagnetic arcs flashing as it pulled a piece of iron plate to block in front of him.

Clang!

The iron plate was pierced, leaving an imprint on Tom’s forehead!

Blocked, but not completely!

Tom: ###

Infuriated, he suddenly turned his head to look at Kirk and Jiu Tian, who had been watching from the side.

【Kirk Player, your deduction is correct.】

【The one who’s most seriously injured is him, aren’t you going to help?】

Kirk: ?

Wasn’t it you who admitted it just now?

Turns out this isn’t a secret-revealing instance? It’s a berserk battle instance?

In an instant, he was drenched in sweat, realizing too late that he had just lost in his area of expertise to a madman. He made a decision right away.

Mental Interference!

He directly applied it to Tom. He still had enough courage to fight back.

The feeling of chaos and madness instantly backfired, but there was a shocking fact.

—It didn’t backfire as much as it did on Lu Ce!

Hmph.

Tom groaned, then casually waved his hand. The room’s metal flew like his body, sending several iron stakes flying toward Lu Ce!

“Go!”

Jiu Tian’s Speed Boots blasted out a gust of air, instantly pushing Kirk away, but one iron stake still pierced directly into his thigh!

“Ah! Damn it! Don’t eat the sour pickled radish!”

Grabbing his thigh, Kirk was immediately rendered useless. Tom didn’t even get the chance to gloat before, with a loud boom, the iron plate in front of him was blasted open, and the shockwave sent him flying.

Hell Roar, Advanced Level!

Remaining energy, 49.5%.

Really stingy, doesn’t even fill up the energy given at the start…

Tom was also furious. Countless holes appeared on the wall, and in the terrifying arrangement that would make anyone with trypophobia cringe, a lot of iron stakes shot out, aiming at Lu Ce.

Lu Ce’s steps were steady as he didn’t dodge. He threw on the Mirage Cloak, walking through the iron rain, striding forward!

Hell Roar in his right hand, firing in Level 2! With his left hand, he flipped out a Medium Healing Potion. If it didn’t work, just pop it!

Let’s go, mutual harm!
