Chapter 52: Mortal Enemies (2/2)

1%...

In a game like Avatar Online, one had to be merciless to advance faster.

[Ding! You killed the Gang Member. You received 94 500 Experience and 50 gold. Due to the difference of 54 levels, you earned 77 000 bonus Experience.]

[Ding! Congratulations! You reached Level 12!]

[Ding! Congratulations! You reached Level 13!]

[Ding! Congratulations! You reached Level 14!]

[Ding! Congratulations! You reached Level 15!]

[Ding! Congratulations! You reached Level 16!]

Liu Ye was shaken by the sudden spam in his inbox but he had no time to ponder on his gains. He threw the dead body to the side and began to run after Marco with all the strength he got. When the Black Panther finds out he is dead, they would definitely chase after him.

Will his items drop if he dies?

Will he lose his level and Experience?

Will he respawn in the Emerald City or back in the Newbie Village?

Many questions bounced in his mind as he had no experience with dying yet. So far he didn't see any notification about the Emerald City being any type of special Zone so he wasn't particularly worried. Even if he lost his level it didn't matter as long as he could keep his inventory.

Just as he wondered while rushing to return back to the safe areas, his inbox filled with another series of notifications.

[Ding! Your Affinity with Black Panther decreased by 300 and reached the limit. Player and Black Panther have become mortal enemies for life. Black Panther Gang will now actively search for you to make your life miserable.]

Liu Ye has already kind of expected this to happen but even if he knew for sure, he would still go for the kill. Even if they hunt him down and he can't stay in the Emerald City, he could still farm in any other land. There was no way they would chase after him in the whole Mainland, right?

Swoosh!

He was distracted with his inbox when two Ice Spears flew past his face, almost blowing his head off.

”Catch him!!!” Black Panther called out with pure anger in her voice. Liu Ye didn't need to turn around to know he was chased by multiple Gang Members wanting to split his throat open.

'Fuck!' Liu Ye cursed and swiftly dumped all his Skill Points into Dexterity. He instantly felt a noticeable boost to both his stamina and agility which he used to the full extent.

”You can't run from us!” Black Panther cried out with her voice distancing. He was almost ready to celebrate his escape but then he looked behind and saw two men acting like they were in a circus.

Their water whips wrapped around their arms and they grabbed onto the street lamps to swing like monkeys. Seeing Marco right ahead, Liu Ye gritted his teeth and turned at the intersection to lead the Gang Members away. He could revive endlessly but once Marco died, it would be all over for him.

'People!'

Liu Ye exclaimed in his mind when he finally saw other humans and busy streets. His happiness was short-lived though when the two Gang Members suddenly flew above his head and landed right in front of him.

”It's over kiddo,” the Gang Member announced grimly and the end of his whips turned into Ice Blades ready to slice him into pieces. ”You shouldn't have killed one of us.”

Liu Ye ignored him and opened his profile in search of his last saving grace.

[Ding! You are unable to log out during a battle state.]

”Hah…” Liu Ye didn't know why but he felt like laughing. He has been walking on the edge of life and death for a while now and it was finally time he failed.

”Bastard, I will make you go through endless torture!” Black Panther shouted while catching up but Liu Ye already moved, rushing at the two Waterbenders with water wrapped around his fists.

”Everyone has to go die at some point…”
