176 Human Skin Masks (1/2)

When Happy returned to the game, he noticed a strange atmosphere around him.

Little North chased after a middle-aged man with an unfamiliar face in a rage with his two precious zombies. He roared continuously while going after the man.

Lately, Little North had become very familiar and skillful in controlling the zombie puppets as he followed Happy around. His own abilities had increased greatly too, and now, trio complemented each other. Their teamwork could be considered great, and right then, Little North no longer had any problems with fighting against two Mystical Realm zombies at once.

However, the middle-aged man who had appeared in the mass grave was clearly no weakling. With a sword in hand, he moved about like an immortal, like a shadow and an illusion, despite not being Little North and his two zombies' opponent. Sometimes, he would move around as swiftly as lightning, and sometimes, he was as slow as a turtle. He moved around Little North with incredible body movement. Because of that, he seemed to have an advantage.

”Brat, take this!”

Little North was lacking in body movement when compared to his enemy, but he was not that easy to deal with…

Little North gritted his teeth and roared, ”Take this!”

He had already gained a very deep understanding toward how to control his zombies and how to defend. Every single time one showed a weakness, he would immediately have the other jump over to cover it. With the zombies' fearlessness and their powerful and domineering bodies, his fighting strategy of trading a life for another life, he could always have his zombies protect each other at the critical moment. With that, the trio was never ambushed by the unfamiliar man.

It happened again right then. The Blessed Realm zombies came up from the side with their foul and rotten stench to stand in front of the unfamiliar, middle-aged man, blocking his path, albeit with great difficulty. They extended their palms, which were coated in poison, forcing the middle-aged man to give up on attacking and choose to protect himself.

As they continued exchanging blows, neither side could do anything to the other!

Happy did not speak to interrupt their fight. He focused his attention on the fight and watched it for some time. In the end, his gaze landed on the unfamiliar middle-aged man, and a slightly puzzled look appeared on his face.

The figure was very familiar, and the body movements… were even more familiar!

Who was he?

'It's him!' A thought flashed in his mind, and Happy quickly connected the figure with someone he had been associated with for a period of time in the past. The puzzlement in his eyes instantly grew stronger, and he could not help but gasp softly. 'But why is he here?'

The unfamiliar middle-aged man's body movements revealed his true identity.

In the early stages of the game, there were few people who had high-tier lightness skills and especially those who had reached a high level. The middle-aged man's figure and demeanor were also incredibly alike to the person Happy remembered. He was definitely the unkempt swordsman, All-powerful Medicinal Stone!

”Big Brother Happy!”

At that moment, the two finally noticed that Happy had logged in. The enraged look on Little North's face faded away, and while filled with delight, he continued delivering his attacks.

”Hurry up and help me! This old coot has been wandering around the spot where you logged off in a very shady manner! He's definitely a bad guy! Bastard… He's really fast—”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man fighting against him shuddered visibly.

”Big brother?” As he spoke, he quickly swung his sword and jumped around thirty-two feet back. ”Don't! It's a misunderstanding! I'm not here to go against Happy—” he began to explain, but was not given a chance.

”Bah! You're still saying that you're not! You're still here though!”

When he heard the man call Happy by his in-game name, he felt like his suspicions proven, and without any hesitation, he summoned his precious zombies to attack together.

”I won't fight against you. I'm here to catch up with your Big Brother Happy to talk about old days.”

He laughed while speaking and swiped at his face. It instantly changed into the image of a sleazy looking middle-aged man. The previous one was gone, and now he looked even more like a bad person.

Little North was dumbfounded by the sight. He stared at the item in the middle-aged man's hands before crying out in surprise. ”A human skin mask?!”
