BXBX NOVEL Chapter 252: Three Rules
Chapter 252: Three Rules
With his time with Bertha in the Eldertree Institute, she taught him ways of detecting poison, and one of them was smelling the air.
While the scent in the poison dart was very minimal, and an ordinary person wouldn\'t be able to smell it, Adam had been trained to pick up the slightest scent of poison.
Thus, if anyone dared to poison his drink, he would know.
\'However, it is strange. The scent of the dart changed multiple times. This fucker is changing the dart, depending on my choice.
\'In the end, winning this is impossible.
\'However, since it is cheating so obviously, I don\'t mind cheating a little bit as well.\'
"Come on, make your decision already." The creature hurried him.
"Alright." Adam pointed the blowgun at the creature. "I shoot you."
The creature chuckled and snapped its fingers-the dart turned black.
Adam took a sniff in the air and recognized the lack of poison smell now. It could only mean one thing.
With his Magick activated, the blowgun\'s carvings started to glow, signaling the creature that it was about to shoot.
Thus, it relaxed its hand, knowing that its opponent had already made a decision.
However, in that split second, Adam flicked his wrist and made the blowgun point at himself instead. The dart shot out and landed on his neck.
The creature\'s eyes popped open.
The dart was black.
"Oh, lucky me." Adam pulled the black dart from his neck. "I changed my mind. Sorry about that."
The creature was now truly panicking.
It realized that this human in front of it had found out about its cheating method, and because it relaxed its body slightly, it didn\'t have time to change the dart before it was too late.
Now, there were only three poison darts left in the blowgun.
It was obviously going to end in the creature\'s defeat.
\'Since it already knows I am cheating, I don\'t need to hide it anymore. I\'ll be even more bold!\'
It was grinning hideously.
Adam kept his neutral expression, but knew from that look that the creature hadn\'t given up. It had another trick up its sleeve.
\'What is it planning now?\' Adam frowned. \'Will it change the poison darts to black instead? It would be obvious cheating, but I think it values its life more than honor.\'
Adam had to find out its cheating method. Thus, he pointed the blowgun at the creature and shot it.
The poison dart flew from the blowgun and headed straight to the creature. Its color wasn\'t changing any way, but when it was flying, it started weaving and began to lose altitude.
It looked like it was going to miss!
The creature grinned.
\'Right, it didn\'t mention in the rules what happens when one of us misses...\' Adam\'s eyes turned cold. \'I would assume it skips the turn. Well played.\'
However, using his hand that was inside his pocket, he used Push to make the dart fly quicker.
That slight speed helped greatly, and the dart stabbed the creature in the thigh. Without that extra speed, it would\'ve landed on the ground instead.
"?!" The creature looked stunned, and it only had one health left.
\'You tried.\' Adam just smiled.
The creature pulled the poison dart from its thigh and looked truly angry.
It took the blowgun from Adam and pointed it straight at the human, a sinister glint
appearing on its very round eyes.
It blew straight into the blowgun with immense force.
A poison dart flew out of the blowgun.
At first, Adam planned to allow it to hit him as it would only cost him one life, but shockingly enough, the second poison dart flew straight after the first one.
Instead of shooting only one poison dart, the creature shot both that were still left in the blowgun!
The poison darts landed on Adam\'s chest, causing the poison to fill up his veins.
"Haha, I guess we\'re tied!" The creature grinned.
Adam\'s face turned pale. \'I didn\'t expect that.\'
"The last round." The creature snapped its fingers, and only one dart appeared.
It was a poison dart.
After the dart entered the blowgun, the creature took it and said. "You started two times already, so I\'ll start this round, alright?"
Adam checked his health. It was very low and one more poison dart would be more than enough to finish him off.
\'Sigh, this won\'t end well.\'
With his knees creaking, he stood up.
"What\'re you doing?" The creature asked with a suspicious gaze.
If this human planned to escape, it would make sure that he would die.
"May I die standing?" Adam asked.
"As you wish." The creature chuckled.
The creature, joyously, turned the blowgun at Adam, put its disgusting lips together, and blew the last dart.
The poison dart shot out, and it moved so fast that no one would be able to react to it, but when it was about to hit Adam, it miraculously went straight through him.
It looked like the dart had just hit a ghost!
Adam touched his chest, and raised an eyebrow. "Oh, that\'s strange."
The creature\'s eyes popped open. "What did you do?!"
"Me? Nothing." Adam innocently shrugged his shoulders.
However, he indeed did something.
Level three Kiryoku + Motionless!
To do Motionless as powerfully as he did, he had to be standing so he could shift his center ofn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
gravity using his knees.
Thus, if he had continued sitting, it would be way more obvious that he simply dodged.
"You cheated, I know it!" The creature screamed.
"That\'s hurtful; I would never." Adam showed the area of his armpit that had a slight tear.
"The poison dart missed me barely. It went past my torso and arm, y\'see."
\'I actually just missed?\' The creature frowned. \'I haven\'t missed before!\'
"Is it my turn?" Adam asked. "Since you did miss, it would make sense for your turn to be
skipped, don\'t you think so?"
"Hmph, no!" The creature shouted.
"Come on now." Adam\'s expression turned serious. "You, as Unique Chaosbeing, must have some rules. If you don\'t abide by those rules, the powers of reality will stop protecting you."
The creature\'s expression darkened as he was now aware that he had underestimated this human. He seemed to know a lot about the Unique Chaosbeings!
The powers of reality that were protecting him were immensely powerful, but like Adam said,
it had to follow some rules; otherwise, reality wouldn\'t protect him anymore.
It had three rules.
First, it had to allow the opponent to start the first and second rounds.
Second, if a shot missed, the turn would be skipped.
Third, if the creature happened to lose, it wasn\'t allowed to attack its opponent.
If it broke any of the three rules, the powers of reality wouldn\'t protect it outside the game of
chance.
"Fine!" The creature gave Adam the blowgun and snapped its fingers to summon twelve
darts.
Six of them were poison darts, and six were black darts.
All of them entered the blowgun.
"Let\'s start the final round!" The creature shouted. "You start!"
\'Fifty-fifty chance. More like a hundred to zero chance. Will it keep changing the color of the darts? I don\'t think I can take it by surprise anymore, so what to do...\'
