Chapter 759: Chapter 13: Jason Joins the Low-Level Game with Forced Merriment

Whoosh!

The trigger was pulled, and as the firing sound rang out, the crossbow arrow shot straight out.

All the barrage stopped, and the ‘audience’ widened their eyes, staring at the screen.

Then, their already wide eyes widened even further.

What did they see?

The blood-soaked scene they’d imagined didn’t happen.

...

The crossbow arrow had shot out, that was true.

The sharp crossbow arrow was lodged next to Jason’s ear.

He dodged, he dodged it?!

After a pause, the barrage on the screen went wild.

“666!”

"God-tier dodge!”

"Show off!”

"Such a show-off!”

…

The ‘audience’, seeking tension and excitement, seemed like they hit their G-spot, starting to frenziedly call out.

But the ‘Brutalizer’ who shot the crossbow arrow was stunned.

A second ago, his face twisted with madness, now he was agape in astonishment.

He missed?

The ‘Brutalizer’ thought this and subconsciously tried to load another arrow.

Although the bow and arrow have an advantage in a silent fight, their true power is far less than firearms, and more importantly, they’re not as quick to reload.

Of course, they also share similarities.

For example: being dodged!

To dodge a bullet, you need to focus not on the muzzle, but on the fingers pulling the trigger.

Jason learned this in the ‘Nightless City’.

Although back then he was far from reaching this level, he remembered the words.

And as his strength grew day by day, he was able to dodge at this level.

If bullets can be dodged.

Then arrows certainly can too.

Even bound as he was, the twist of the neck was enough.

And if the neck can twist for dodging, naturally, it can also attack.

Headbutt!

Bang!

The ‘Brutalizer’ loading the crossbow arrow was hit hard in the bridge of the nose by Jason’s headbutt.

Crack!

Amidst the crisp sound of breaking bone, not only the ‘Brutalizer’s nose was broken, but his face caved in too.

Instantly, fresh blood stained Jason’s hockey mask.

Those cold eyes stared at the ‘Brutalizer’ covering his face and screaming, as the large, muscular body fell straight down like a pillar of a house, crashing onto the ‘Brutalizer’s’ lower abdomen.

Splat!

The ‘Brutalizer’, covering his face, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Hot blood mixed with fragments of organs.

After a few convulsions, the other party stopped breathing.

"Killed in retaliation?”

"He did retaliate!”

"Worthy of being ‘the strongest newcomer’!”

"Jason! Jason!”

"Jason! Jason!”

…

The ‘audience’ watching this scene boiled with excitement. Why else would they be willing to watch the ‘game’ live, if not for the thrilling reversals they sought after aside from the tension and excitement?

Just like a previous ‘audience’ member said, any seemingly strong ‘Brutalizer’ could be taken down by a minor accident—and that ‘minor accident’ was exactly what most ‘audience’ members looked forward to.

Jason, who had caused two ‘minor accidents’ in a row, instantly attracted a large group of ‘audience’ members.

Now, they were cheering for ‘Jason’.

Consciously, they had aligned themselves with ‘Jason’s’ camp.

As a result, some matters became of particular focus!

"Jason, be careful!”

"Another ‘Brutalizer’ is coming!”

"Not one!”

"There are two!”

"A double ambush?”

"Pah!”

"Have you no shame!”

…

The ‘audience’ members, who had been cheering a moment ago, switched the broadcast channel and saw the perspectives of two other ‘Brutalizers’ in the rematch. Immediately, those who had entered ‘Jason’s’ camp began cursing vociferously.

At this moment, their subjective consciousness influenced them.

They looked forward to ‘minor accidents.’

But they did not wish these ‘minor accidents’ to happen to ‘Jason.’

They wanted ‘Jason’ to be the one causing accidents for others.

Perhaps…

That’s what fans are like.

Affection makes everything irrational.

Before, people were like this.

Now, people are still like this.

The only difference is, they have chosen ‘Jason.’

And Jason?

He never disappoints.

Jason, who had fallen onto the body of the first ‘Brutalizer,’ struggled to his feet. He began to stand, readying his Broad Blade Cleaver in hand, prepared to cut through the ‘Beast Trap.’

The Beast Trap was woven from a mix of cow tendon and fishing line, impossible to break free from for an ordinary person.

But for Jason, it was a piece of cake.

However, he did not struggle with brute force.

Because in his perception, two ‘preys’ were getting closer.

He did not wish to scare away these two ‘preys.’

Just like the earlier one.

The moment he stepped out of the ‘cage’, Jason had already spotted these three ‘preys.’

The reason why he entered the ‘trap’ without noticing, was merely to lure these three ‘preys’ into his own ‘trap.’

Hunter and prey?

These are not fixed roles.

Every moment, they might switch.

As for the ‘Beast Trap’?

Ordinary people might have their bones crushed by it.

But for Jason, it wouldn’t even tear his skin.

He relies on one of his core abilities [Battle Tattoo: Prus. Griffin. Shadow Concealment Body Forging Technique], which gives his entire body the defense of a military vehicle.

Let alone a common person’s Beast Trap.

He would even dare to face a rocket head-on!

He dodged the incoming Crossbow Arrows, for the same reason he didn’t break free from the ‘Beast Trap’ directly—he did not wish to scare away the two ‘preys.’

The blade of the Broad Blade Cleaver easily sliced through the cords of the ‘Beast Trap.’

Whoosh!

With Jason’s shaking, the cords began to fall away.
