Chapter 180: Counter-kill, Corpse-looting

Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Counter-kill, Corpse-looting

Everything was developing according to his plan.

Quentin Lewis saw his carefully laid plan succeeding step by step.

Especially when he saw Sean Chandler, the strongest fighter, being manipulated by Shirley Holloway like a marionette, forced to perform all sorts of comical movements.

The last trace of apprehension in his heart vanished completely.

A savage grin, certain of victory, spread across his face.

His gaze then swept wantonly over Seraphina Sullivan, as if she were already a fish on the chopping block.

"Now, I’ll give you one last chance!"

Quentin Lewis’s voice rose, filled with undisguised menace. "Hand over your Space obediently! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless and taking it from your corpse myself!"

However, Seraphina Sullivan’s answer to Quentin Lewis’s threat was a flick of her wrist!

SWISH!

The [Poisonous Python Black Whip] was like a dormant viper suddenly awakened. With a sharp whistle, it transformed into a black streak of lightning, striking straight for Shirley Holloway, who was controlling Sean Chandler!

’To catch the bandits, you first have to catch the king.’ As long as she could interrupt Shirley’s control, Sean Chandler would be free.

However, Shirley Holloway had clearly been prepared. Seeing the whip’s shadow lashing toward her, she let out a shriek and turned to run without a second’s hesitation!

As she ran, Sean Chandler, forcibly synchronized by her [Do it again] Talent, could only frustratingly mimic her fleeing posture, retreating awkwardly, completely unable to mount an effective counter-attack.

Sean Chandler: "This is so damn frustrating!"

Although his spiritual power wasn’t being controlled, his body unconsciously mimicked Shirley Holloway’s actions.

Seraphina Sullivan was rendered speechless by the bizarre scene.

’This [Do it again] Talent... its Effect is truly... freakish and troublesome.’

Seraphina had to admit that while this Ability wasn’t strong in a direct fight, it was surprisingly effective for control and containment, especially against a close-combat expert like Sean Chandler, who relied on physical instinct and fighting techniques.

It was equivalent to directly neutralizing the strongest guard at her side.

"It seems you’re determined to do this the hard way!"

Seeing Seraphina Sullivan dare to take the initiative, Quentin Lewis’s face darkened, and he completely lost his patience.

"Since you’ve refused the easy way, don’t blame me for taking it the hard way!"

He waved his hand, ordering the other Players beside him who were eagerly cracking their knuckles, "All of you, attack! Get her for me! She can’t summon those little Petrification monsters now, and her guard is under control. She’s a toothless tiger, ours for the slaughter!"

"Heh heh, don’t worry, boss!"

"Didn’t this little chick think she was so tough with her Singing earlier? Let’s see you sing now?!"

One of them, a burly Player who seemed to have a Strength Enhancement type Ability, sneered and was the first to charge at Seraphina Sullivan. He reached out with a large hand, grabbing for her neck in an attempt to subdue her.

However, faced with this swift attack, Seraphina’s eyes were ice-cold.

She didn’t dodge or evade, merely twisting her wrist slightly.

CRACK!

The Poisonous Python Black Whip, though lashing out second, struck first. Like a nimble viper, it accurately whipped the burly man’s wrist!

The Power contained in the whip’s tip not only slapped his outstretched hand away forcefully, but at the moment of contact, [Poisonous Fang Stabbing Kiss] activated silently. A dark purple Poison Sting shot out, instantly injecting a potent toxin!

"AHHH—!!!"

The burly man felt a sharp pain in his wrist, followed by a numbing, tearing agony that spread rapidly up his arm.

He let out a bloodcurdling scream as his entire arm instantly swelled and turned black. He staggered backward, no longer able to fight.

After dealing with one, Seraphina Sullivan didn’t pause for a moment.

She activated her [Bounce] Skill!

BOOM!

The ground beneath her feet sank and cracked!

Using the powerful recoil, her figure blurred, and in the next second, she reappeared several meters away.

At that moment, Seraphina Sullivan was charging toward Quentin Lewis at extreme speed!

The savage grin on Quentin Lewis’s face froze the instant he saw Seraphina’s movements.

It was replaced by incredible shock and horror!

"What?! How is that possible?! Why do you have close-combat abilities?! Aren’t you a Player with a support Talent?!"

He cried out in shock, his pupils constricting violently.

In his mind, Seraphina Sullivan, without her summons and her guard, should have been a total pushover!

This sudden, fierce counter-attack and the physical prowess she displayed completely overturned his understanding of her!

Seraphina Sullivan had no intention of wasting her breath on these people.

The explosive power from her [Bounce] Skill allowed her to instantly close the distance between herself and Quentin Lewis.

She moved like a bolt of lightning, arriving at Quentin Lewis’s side in an instant.

With a flick of her right hand, she secured the Poisonous Python Black Whip to her waist.

At the same time, a silver light flashed in her palm, and the silver Fencing Sword formed from condensed Energy appeared, its blade gleaming with a cold, deadly light.

"Quick Sewing!"

Seraphina chanted silently in her mind, but this time, the target of the Energy Silk Threads wasn’t to stitch a wound, but to become the sharpest of piercing blades!

Quentin Lewis was still reeling from the shock of Seraphina’s sudden outburst and had no time to process what the name of this bizarre Skill meant.

A silver light flashed before his eyes as Seraphina swiftly thrusted.

Quentin Lewis felt an indescribable pain all over his body, as if he were being pierced by countless fine needles at once!

Countless Energy Silk Threads instantly pierced his limbs and torso. Although it wasn’t immediately fatal, being sewn through like this made Quentin Lewis’s body stiffen, completely immobilizing him!

And that was only the beginning.

In the instant his pupils contracted from the intense pain and his mind went blank, the silver Fencing Sword in Seraphina Sullivan’s hand shot out like a bolt of lightning, piercing him precisely between the eyebrows!

Quentin Lewis’s last conscious thought was hearing Seraphina Sullivan’s cold, slightly mocking voice:

"A support Ability? Sorry, but I never said my only Ability... was support."

Quentin Lewis: "..."

Filled with endless regret and disbelief, his consciousness faded into eternal darkness.

With a thud, Quentin Lewis’s body crumpled to the ground.

With Quentin Lewis’s death, the Effect of the [Space Seal] he had cast vanished instantly.

Seraphina Sullivan immediately felt her connection to the Scavenger’s Farm return.

Meanwhile, Sean Chandler, who had been controlled by [Do it again] and forced into comical movements, found that while his body was restricted, some of his abilities had not been completely sealed.

At the same moment Seraphina killed Quentin Lewis, he seized the opportunity when Shirley Holloway was momentarily distracted by shock. Sean Chandler instantly opened his mouth!

BZZZT!

A maximally compressed [Air Cannon] shot out from his mouth, precisely blasting Shirley Holloway in the chest!

"Urgh!" Shirley Holloway screamed as the massive impact sent her flying, and she slammed heavily onto the ground.

Because she had been attacked, the control from her Talent was instantly broken.

The Binding vanished. A ferocious light exploded in Sean Chandler’s eyes as his suppressed Fury was completely unleashed!

Like a true wolf king pouncing on a flock of sheep, he alternated between using his claws and his Air Cannon. The remaining Players had no time to react.

They were finished off by Sean Chandler’s frenzied assault.

The battle had started suddenly, but it ended even faster.

In the blink of an eye, the group that had tried to kill them for their treasures was completely wiped out.

Seraphina Sullivan looked at the corpses on the ground, her expression unwavering.

She skillfully began to "loot the bodies," checking for anything of value.

When she searched Quentin Lewis’s body, her movements paused slightly.

’Hm? There’s actually some good stuff here!’

She pulled several good items from the inner pockets of Quentin Lewis and the other Players.
