Chapter 760: Chapter 13 Jason Suppresses his Joy to Join the Lower-Level Games_2
 

Just as the rope hit the ground, a figure burst out from the shadows behind Jason.

The attacker was clad in all black, smeared with mud and leaves, and had been standing so still in the shadows that he blended completely into the bushes, making him nearly indistinguishable.

But now, with a single movement, he struck like a bolt of lightning.

The dagger in his hand, gleaming with a cold light, aimed straight for Jason’s back like a shooting star.

Before the dagger could reach him, a foul scent hit Jason’s face.

Among the cold gleam, there was a tinge of ghastly green.

Obviously, the dagger was poisoned.

However, that wasn’t what made the ‘audience’ in Jason’s live stream tense.

What truly made them ‘anxious’ was that with the appearance of this ‘Brutalizer,’ the last ‘Brutalizer’ had also shown up.

Thump, thump thump.

Following a slightly heavy set of footsteps, a ‘flesh mountain,’ reaching an imposing two meters yet excessively corpulent beyond human limits, positioned himself 20 meters in front of Jason.

The man’s face was covered in bizarre tattoos, nearly enveloping his entire visage.

Only his eyes, nose, and mouth were left exposed.

A face full of flabby flesh, adorned with odd tattoos, twisted into a fearsome aspect.

“Ha.”

The last ‘Brutalizer’ let out a series of chuckles, not moving to attack immediately but instead staring intently at Jason and the other ‘Brutalizer’ with his beady green eyes deeply set in his pudgy cheeks.

“A fisherman benefits?,” one watcher typed.

“So sneaky!,” another commented.

“Face like a pig, but rotten to the core!,” yet another wrote.

“Are you kidding? Isn’t this a smart move?,” someone argued.

“New here, don’t understand,” admitted a newcomer.

“Don’t understand +1,” agreed another.

“Just watch silently!,” advised a different viewer.

…

The ‘audience’ watched the screen with bated breath, and as soon as the last ‘Brutalizer’ made his move, complaints started pouring in.

Any dissent was quickly drowned out.

Of course, there were ‘audience’ members who felt dissatisfied and instinctively wanted to lash out.

However, before they could voice their concerns, they were captivated by what ‘Jason’ was doing on-screen.

The poisoned dagger thrust towards his back.

Jason did not turn around; in fact, he didn’t even retract the broad blade cleaver he had used to cut the rope and was still holding behind his back, rather he just tilted the blade sideways.

Clang!

The incoming dagger collided with the short-handled broad blade cleaver.

In the crisp clash of metal, the dagger was sent flying high, and the ‘Brutalizer,’ who had put all his might into what he thought was a sure-kill stab, was left with a face of shock.

This ‘Brutalizer’ couldn’t fathom in any way how his determined strike had been so easily countered.

What was more unexpected for him was that as he prepared to adjust his posture for another attack, his shoulder was grabbed by Jason as he spun around.

Instinctively, the ‘Brutalizer’ tried to twist and shrug, hoping to shake off Jason’s grip, but even as he exerted his core in the effort, Jason’s grip didn’t budge an inch.

Far from throwing off Jason’s grip, the opposite happened—

Crack!

A crisp snap, and the ‘Brutalizer’s’ shoulder was ‘dislocated’ by Jason.

Jason’s hand then smoothly traveled down the attacker’s arm.

Crack! Crack!

The elbow and wrist joints were also ‘dislocated’ by Jason.

For Jason, who possessed a master-level option in ‘Barehanded Combat,’ ‘Apprehension Master,’ all of this was too easy.

As easy as eating and drinking.

But for the ‘Brutalizer,’ it was a disaster.

With three joints dislocated, the pain spread uncontrollably like a tidal wave of agony, completely overwhelming the ‘Brutalizer.’ His hand clutching the dagger trembled, and the attack he had been gathering vanished without trace.

“Ah!”

At the same time, a cry of agony escaped from the ‘Brutalizer.’

But immediately, the cry was cut short.

Because the man was spun around by Jason, who had grabbed his arm.

Bang, bang bang!

Once, twice, thrice.

He was slammed into the ground back and forth.

‘Grappling Mastery’ in ‘Barehanded Combat’!

Under ‘Grappling Mastery,’ Jason required only slight adjustments in his core, arms, and back muscles to make the technique more effortless and leverage-friendly.

It also made the slams more rapid.

Initially, the ‘Brutalizer’ still made sounds, but after a couple of slams, he was barely breathing.

A flesh and blood body crashing into the hard ground wasn’t something ordinary people could endure, even if he was a carefully selected ‘Brutalizer’ by the ‘game.’

Because this was no mere fall, it was a ‘smash’ with Jason’s strength poured into the ground.

By the time Jason released him, the ‘Brutalizer’ had already turned into a puddle of mud, flesh indistinct and spread out on the ground, lifeless.

“Thrilling!”

“Amazing takedown!”

“Jason is not only good with weapons but is also skilled in hand-to-hand combat?”

“Of course, look at Jason’s build, doesn’t he look like a wrestler?”

“My bad earlier! Suddenly I’m a bit interested in this ‘Brutalizer’ now!”

“Just keep watching Jason, you’ll grow to like him!”

…

When Jason “freestyle grappled” that “Brutalizer,” the comments once again surged crazy.

The “audience” was conquered by the grappling skills Jason displayed.

But soon, a reminder appeared in the comments.

“Watch that ‘Meat Mountain’!”

“He wants to profit from the fishermen!”

“Jason, be careful!”

…

Jason didn’t need the reminder from the comments; his gaze had already landed on the last “Brutalizer.”

Similarly, the opponent’s gaze was locked on Jason.

Or rather…

It was locked on the leg that was caught in the “Beast Trap.”

“A worthy ‘prey’ to ‘hunt.'”

“However, you now…”

“Probably can’t even move, right?”

The last “Brutalizer” burst into laughter.

Especially when he noticed Jason turning his body to the side, making a movement to hide the leg caught in the “Beast Trap,” the laughter was even louder.

“Since it’s like this!”

“Then let me use my proud body weight to achieve victory!”

As he finished speaking, the last “Brutalizer” began to run.

Thud, thud thud!

The fat footfalls on the ground made it tremble ever so slightly, and what was more exaggerated was the way the flesh on the opponent’s body began to undulate like waves.

From slow to fast.

At first, the opponent moved somewhat sluggishly.

But after just a few steps, this slow movement turned into a fast charge.

That speed, not only surpassing that of an ordinary person, but even outstripping that of a typical sprinter.

The “audience” inside Jason’s room were stunned; they found it hard to imagine that someone as fat as a mountain could have such speed.

“Here it comes!”

“The Meat Mountain Chariot!”

“Everyone hit head-on will be crushed to pieces!”

“No exceptions!”

“Even a big tree would be knocked down!”

Those “audience” members who were familiar with this “Brutalizer” began to introduce him, causing the rest to be apprehensive, and many who had just prayed began praying again.

They hoped for a miracle.

“Look quick!”

“Look what Jason is doing!”

…

Suddenly, the live comments on the screen started to become dense again.

Facing the charging “Brutalizer,” Jason bent down, grabbed both ends of the “Beast Trap” with his hands, and applied a slight force.

Creak!

Crack!

Amidst the grating noise, the “Beast Trap” was opened.

Jason slightly moved his right leg that had been trapped.

He felt nothing.

After all, not even the skin was broken.

Then!

Thud, thud thud!

The sound of a beating heart like war drums echoed.

The next moment, Jason charged out.

Aiming for the incoming “Brutalizer.”

He didn’t dodge or avoid, facing it head-on.

As Jason opened the “Beast Trap,” the charging “Brutalizer” showed unease on his face, but when he noticed Jason charge at him after opening the trap, the unease turned into elation.

“Arrogant fool who doesn’t know his place!”

“Get smashed!”

The “Brutalizer” bellowed loudly.

Speed, once again increased.

Closer.

The head-on charging Jason and “Brutalizer” got closer to each other.

Both could feel the breath of the other.

The sinister smile on the “Brutalizer’s” face couldn’t be contained any longer.

Then—

Bang!

The two crashed into each other.

The sinister smile on the “Brutalizer’s” face froze.

He felt that hardness, and his entire being turned to sheer terror.

“Impossible!”

“How is this possible!”

“Aaaargh!”
