Chapter 264 Battle for the Cape 7

In an underground sewer, a small figure slipped past, and behind her, a figure who moved even faster approached. After a few turns, Not a Scaredy Cat was cornered at a dead end. Seeing this, she turned around and attacked without any notice. She was still using a polearm, but the appearance of the equipment was much better than the one she had held when she was on Hunter's Isle. As an affiliated player who was heavily supported by Jiang Hu, she had quite good equipment.

Thunder Spear swept through the air, causing lighting and spark. The person who was following her was prepared and raised his arms to block. But to his surprise, when he was hit by the spark, he felt the energy in his body drain away, and he turned numb.

"Oh, there's something like that?" Seven Kills smirked before shouting, "But it's useless!"

The shout was like thunder in a bright sky. An aura of energy burst from around Seven Kills, and it rushed at Not a Scaredy Cat like a tsunami. She knew that she was at a disadvantage. The opponent was much stronger than she was, and if she faced him head on, she would lose. In that drastic situation, she suddenly had an idea. She leaped into the air and borrowed the force of the rush of aura to wave her weapon and break the heavy layer of cement above them. She then jumped onto the surface. It was a road above them, and there were plenty of cars…

Suddenly, a piece of the road was torn open like carpet, and a girl with a large weapon leaped out. The drivers and pedestrians were shocked, and the traffic halted in mere seconds. Then something even more unbelievable happened. Once the small girl stood still, she poked her weapon at the nearest vehicle, ignoring the people inside it. The car was like a fillet of beef, and the weapon she was holding was like a fork. She picked the car up and, with a yell, swung it at the hole on the ground.

Seven Kills stood where he was after unleashing his skill before making to chase. But when he leaped above ground, he was greeted by a yellow car that was careening toward him. When he jumped, he did not use his full energy because he just wanted to get to the surface. If he had known that this was waiting him, he would have charged upward with his fists ready, and he might have blasted the car back or cut it in half. But there was retries in this world…

Seven Kills was in midair, and there was no point gathering his energy. He could only shield his head with both hands and take this strike head on. The weight of the car plus the girl's force pressed Seven Kills back into the sewer. That was not all. After tossing the car, Not a Scaredy Cat put away her weapon and took out two Uzis from her inventory. She aimed at the hole and started to fire. When she ran out of bullets, she successfully hit the oil tank of the taxi, and it exploded.

Temporary cooldown, the disadvantage of the low ground, the sudden attack, these three elements caught Seven Kills by surprise. Even though he had already tried to move away from the car when he heard the bullets, he was still caught in the explosion. Seven Kills' Life Points plummeted to nineteen percent. He quickly used a large health potion.

Ignoring the bleeding and burning effect, he kicked underneath him and continued the chase. This time, Seven Kills leaped high into the air, but when he passed through the hole, Not a Scaredy Cat had already disappeared.

"Tsk… She's escaped…" Seven Kills sighed with annoyance. "You really can't put your guard down for a second…"

He slowly landed. When he hit the ground, he went down on one knee. He was slightly injured.

"Sh*t, jumped too high…"

It was then that the sirens blared. The police had arrived. Two officers ran out and raised their weapon at him. "Hey, you! Don't move. Put your hands where I can see it!"

Seven Kills glanced at them and mumbled to himself, "Humph… the girl ruined the street, but I have to bear the responsibility…"

He ignored the warning form the officers and looked around. He found a suitable place, morphed into a shadow, and disappeared. The two officers were stunned. Their eyes could barely catch up to his speed. But when they moved their weapons, the man had already gone. Furthermore, they had no confidence that they could hit such a high-speed target. The chance of them injuring the citizens was higher.

"Headquarters, we have a serious situation here! We suspect it's a fight between supervillains."

After they recovered, they returned to the patrol car and reported the situation over their walkie talkie.

…

In an underground parking lot, two figures faced each other. The so-called experts normally had the same way of thinking, so in less than one hour since the start of the scenario, they would cross each other.

"I'm surprised I ran into you first." The man who spoke looked like he was twenty-six or so. He had short black hair, sharp features, and a firm stance. Understanding Death wore an ink-colored outfit and the cape from Regulation. He held a spray can in each hand, and it was unclear what they were for.

"I should be the one that you are most afraid to encounter," Shiva replied. He looked slightly older than the other man, and his long hair covered half of his face. Brahman's outfit did nothing to hide his large body. His hands were empty; he looked like a fist fighter.

"You could say that," Understanding Death replied. "But… to win this Killing Game, you are a wall that I have to scale. It is not a bad thing that I have met you in my best condition. This should be a great battle…"

"I think you have a misunderstanding," Shiva replied coldly. "For you, I should be a mountain."

"Is that so? Haha…" Understanding Death smiled at Shiva's taunt. "In the past, we have fought in other games before. I admit that you are powerful, but…"

There was a strange glow that passed his eyes.

"After seeing that kid's battle, I see a new realm. Compared to him, you are nothing," Understanding Death mocked back. "This is why you will always be under him in the combat stat ranking."

"Will the people higher in the ranking always win?" Shiva asked. "I don't think I need to tell you how many changes there are in combat in Thriller Paradise."

"The same thing can be said for you because this is the reason I am still standing here," Understanding Death said. "Unfortunately… the changes you mentioned have nothing to do with the kid. Don't think you are just one step away from Phantom Dawn.

"Even though it just looks like a distance between just two places, that distance… might be larger than the distance between you and the hundredth player."

"Humph… In that case…" Shiva said as eight stone plates appeared behind him. Each of them was the size of a palm and had different shape. "Let me see how big the distance between you and me is…"

…

In Northern Sanctuary Factory, Feng Bujue whistled as he eased out from a taxi. He gave the driver a one hundred bill and said arrogantly, "Keep the change."

The driver thanked him and left happily. It had been one hour since Feng Bujue escaped from the bank. In this one hour, he had run to the paper stand and grabbed a bunch of paper. He then went to book a room at a small dormitory that did not ask for identification. As he studied the news, he unleashed his summoning skill while calculating the cooldown time. He had summoned a few things in this down time, and they were all as powerful as the Hammerhead Stork. They were small and did not have any special powers. While Feng Bujue was at the bank, he grabbed a bag of cash for himself. The cash had gone into his inventory… so buying papers and booking rooms were no issue for him.

"Northern Sanctuary… Humph… Not bad, Victor," Feng Bujue said as he looked at the factory before him. The Victor whom he spoke of was Victor Fries, better known as Mr. Freeze. The Battle for the Cowl was one of the big events in DC Comics, and Feng Bujue had read it before. He was not that familiar with the plot, but since he had read it, he could dig up the details from his memory.

To put it simply, DC Comics used the Bat's death to hike up the sales, but then it was later announced that he had transmigrated through time. After Bruce Wayne's 'death', the second Robin, Jason Todd, tried to take the cowl and replace Batman. Todd was killed by Joker. For money reasons, however, he was also revived. He lost himself, and his darker side awakened. He then turned to the path of extremism and madness. Therefore, the first Robin, Dick Grayson had to return to Gotham City because he was the best candidate to take over from Wayne. Dick had already left Batman and Gotham City and taken on the identity of Nightwing in Brooklyn. As everyone expected, he defeated Todd and claimed the Bat's cowl.

During this battle, two other Robins came to show up, and of course, they were far too behind the two previous Robins.

Feng Bujue did not care for the actual fight for the cowl itself; he cared more for the several other side quests that were happening in the background.

First, there was the battle between Two-Face and Penguin; second, it was the Arkham inmates that were released and controlled by Black Mask; third, there was the fact that Mr. Freeze was captured by Captain Gordon. From the information on the news, it seemed like the third event had not happened yet…
