Chapter 23 - A Despicable and Malicious Team! The Unbelievable Jack!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The two men’s footsteps suddenly stopped.

Just as Brandon stopped, he heard the hooked-nosed man shout, “Do it!”

Then…

The two people who were fighting fiercely just a moment ago split up and flew towards where he was like two bolts of lightning.

They covered the distance of three yards in a single step.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them surrounded the stone pillar where Brandon was.

The hooked-nosed man held a longsword in his hand and had a stern expression on his face. However, when he saw that there was no one behind the stone pillar, he was stunned.

On the other side, Gareth’s gaze also sank as he looked at Jack with some doubt.

“That shouldn’t be!”

“On my map, this guy is clearly here.”

“Let me take a look.”

When he opened the map, he discovered that the little red dot representing Brandon had suddenly changed to another place.

This shocked him.

At the same time, Brandon, who had already run to another place, heaved a sigh of relief. But once he thought about it, he got angry.

“These two people…actually formed a team illegally?!”

Forming a team illegally was a very common thing in escape games.

To put it simply, in a single-player game, two players would bypass the rules of the game and team up against other single players.

Although the rules did not explicitly state it, in all escape games, forming a team was prohibited.

Brandon did not expect that this reality-like escape game would actually have an illegal team.

After his anger subsided, he was confused again.

“How did these two people discover me?!”

“I’m invisible!”

When he was ambushed in Grand Town, it was because of the sound of his footsteps.

But…

Now, he had learned the skill — silence.

As long as he did not open his mouth to speak, his footsteps and all the other sounds he made would be silenced.

Just as he was puzzled, Jack, the man with the hooked nose, and Gareth, the honest-looking man, gave him an answer.

He heard…

Gareth’s expression was gloomy as he said, “What’s going on? Doesn’t your E-class talent ‘pursuit’ show the position of the enemy until they die?”

Facing his partner’s doubt, the hooked-nosed man’s face was also unsightly. “You’re right!”

“But the problem is…”

“My ‘pursuit’ clearly shows that the guy was here just now, but now he’s gone.”

“The map shows that he’s at that place.”

As he said that, he pointed at the place where Brandon was.

In the next moment!

Gareth had already arrived at the place where Jack was pointing.

But…

How could he possibly see the invisible Brandon?

Brandon saw everything very clearly and heard it very clearly.

At this moment, he came to a realization.

‘So that’s how it is! E-class talent — pursuit? Unless I die, my position will always be shown. No wonder…no wonder I was still discovered even though I was invisible,’ Brandon thought.

Thinking of this, Brandon felt a lingering fear in his heart.

Fortunately, I have an SSS-class talent and not an ordinary F-class talent.

Otherwise, I would have been easily killed by these two people!

Although Brandon was confident that his attributes and equipment were better than the hooked-nosed man and Gareth, it would have been very risky for him if he did not know that the two of them had already formed a team and were attacking him together.

As he saw their expressions turn ugly, Brandon’s lips curled into a cruel smile.

“Since your conspiracy has been exposed, it’s my turn next!”

…

Compared to Brandon who had regained his confidence, Gareth and Jack were terrified.

People were most afraid of the unknown!

Gareth’s heart sank when he did not see anyone at the location Jack was pointing at. He looked at Jack and saw that Jack’s expression had suddenly become panicked.

Then…

He heard him say, “This guy is circling around us?!”

“Damn it!”

“What the hell is going on?!”

This was the first time Jack had encountered such a strange situation since he had the ‘pursuit’ talent.

They kept looking around, wanting to know how that guy named Brandon did it and what was going on!

As they observed their surroundings, the two of them were facing each other.

At this moment!

A blade light flashed behind Jack’s back.

The 100 armor points of the purple-quality armor were instantly reduced to zero, and 104 HP was also deducted.

“I’ve caught you!”

After being attacked, both Jack and Gareth reacted at the first moment. They turned around at the same time. Just when they thought that they were going to catch Brandon, they still did not see anything.

“Damn it, damn it, damn it!”

Ever since he had the E-class talent ‘pursuit’, this was the first time Jack had suffered such a huge loss.

After taking an attack, his armor had been damaged, but he did not even see the enemy’s face.

“Jack, restore your armor first!”

Gareth was much calmer than Jack.

After he gave the order, he began to observe the surroundings more frequently, trying to find some subtle traces.

[

F-class talent: Scout

Effect: Slightly increases the ability to observe details, and brightens all kinds of traces in the field of vision

]

This was his talent.

Combined with Jack’s ‘pursuit’ talent, it was excellent at tracking down enemies!

But…

Even though Gareth’s eyes were almost popping out of their sockets, he did not see any traces, whether it was footprints, hair, or other marks.

This was the power of Brandon’s ‘infinite invisibility’ and ‘silence’ skills!

Brandon stood on top of the stone pillar, like a high and mighty judge, and looked down at the two people below.

He looked at the hooked-nosed man Jack who was using an [armor repair box] and sneered, “Hehe, you want to restore armor? In your dreams!”

Just as Jack was about to restore his armor, a white light flashed behind him.

Charged attack!

Poison!

Critical hit!

[You have hit the target, causing 642 (107 * 2 * 3) damage to the target!]

[You have killed an enemy (Jack Dylan)!]

[All your attributes have been increased by 5 points (only effective in this game)!]

The man with the hooked nose fell to the ground weakly with an incredulous look on his face. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that he, who had always been a hunter, would one day be hunted by his prey.

No matter how much he regretted it, what happened after that had nothing to do with him anymore.

On the other side, Gareth looked at Brandon who had just revealed himself.. His expression was extremely ugly, and his heart was filled with horror!
