277 His Abnormalities 2 (2/2)
Gio suddenly said to Sofony who was still standing to his left side agape. ”Sofy, give any sharp weapon.”
It took the woman three seconds to get herself out of the daze. With furrowed eyebrows, interchangeably threw glances at the two. Only after that did she ask Gio, ”What do you prefer me to get you?”
The guy simply replied, ”Anything will do.”
'He said anything sharp...' She pretended to think hard about it before talking to the system for a while and withdrawing the one she had chosen.
”Here!” Sofony mischievously threw the item to him.
Seeing what it was, Gio also couldn't help but laugh. Bathory gritted her teeth after seeing the weapon, her face showing deep humiliation.
'They freakin' want to cut me through something used in tree felling?!!!'
When the weapon started creating rhythmic noises that could make even the strongest of hearts palpitate, Bathory felt that she had had enough. She wouldn't simply watch Gio raise it and swing it to her. There was no way she would let a damn chainsaw had its rotating teeth cut through her!
”I'll start now. Sofy, if you want you can include this scene to your livestream. Just don't forget to blur my image,” said Gio as the red-haired woman struggled under his boot.
A second later, before the chainsaw fully descended, Bathory took a deep breath, her eyes held fire that badly wanted to condemn the two people to death. She spoke using a tone full of grudge and desire for destruction. ”Sofony Mendez and Gio Albarez... You two are good. Hah. I'll remember this humiliation!!! I'll make sure to never forget!!! The next time that we meet, I'll fully show you why an old monster like me is called a demigod!!!”
There was something weird with her shout. Not to mention those made from glasses that broke, the whole floor kept shaking and the walls had even cracked!
”What the hell, not this again!” Twice this day, Gio got hit and startled by the same type of voice attack. Right. Bathory's whole declaration was a mental attack. This time, the one who screamed with a disturbing noise frequency was on a much higher level than Leo. It was the type of roar that could kill even a true deaf!
At that moment, Gio once again felt the unfairness of being a host. People like them could possess means of assault like this which he really had no way of defending against! It was really pissing him off!
”Damn!” He once again cursed out.
A moment of distraction allowed the enemy to get away from him.
Both Sofony and him got frozen for a couple of moments by the deafening scream. It was especially potent since it resembled a flock of bats'. Too ear-splitting and dizzying.
When Sofony recovered from the daze, several seconds already passed. Her eardrums still tingling uncomfortably, she panically asked, ”Where did she go?”
A frown was on Gio's face. The man was busy catching his breath so he only replied, ”There is no way she can teleport. The ghost I have is precisely the Level 7 that she's talking about. I made it employed a few high level barriers around. Even she would be delayed by ten or so seconds by these barriers since she would have to break them through sheer strength.”
He didn't continue saying that those precious ten seconds were enough for him to catch up on the enemy. He instead added, ”It must be her escaping through a layer.” Written in his face was his great annoyance at this kind of moves that coveniently allows extremely high level system users to tunnel through space.
'How did he know so much more than me?'
Sofony was suppressing the desire to ask him this. She knew it was not a good time to inquire about those things now. In silence she contemplated, then remembered that she already encountered that term before. Moreover, she personally got into one through sacrificing so many items, rewarded passes and tickets, and points to the system.
”Legends say the world is actually full of layers that mostly stay unseen by normal eyes. It's such a wonderful concept... I didn't imagine the Blood Countess will use it to flee... A mysterious realm similar to where that old freak brought you in that time...”
When Sofony muttered the latter to herself, Gio actually heard it. The overflowing hate lacing her soft voice did not go unnoticed by his sharp hearing...
