Mamba Out! / Beware of Moirai

Hong shouted loudly, and then in the next instant...

"Boom!!!!!"

A gigantic, jet-black creature burst through the wall, carrying countless bricks and stones, and a deluge of dirt as it rushed in.

Then, to the astonishment of the three, the enormous burrowing Monster slammed into Red, sending her flying.

In an instant, Hong's heart stopped, she flew against the wall, her chest almost deflated... She rolled twice on the ground before coming to a stop.

His face was flushed with dejection. Looking at the strange needles inserted into his body, he silently asked, "Doctor, what kind of medicine is this?"

Doctor:"..."

What a coincidence! It's unbelievable that such a coincidence could happen in the world.

Amidst the astonishment, the Doctor glanced at the label on the syringe and said, "I wouldn't store particularly dangerous medications in syringes beforehand..."

"Ah... wait, this is the only relatively dangerous medicine. It's refined ricin, which I, as a researcher who is completely defenseless, use for self-defense."

Hong: "Hehe, hehehe... haha..."

Hong: "Uh--"

Amidst maniacal laughter, Red Leg stretched out, eyes widened, neck stiffened, and tongue lolled out—

It looks like it!

Chapter 378 Mamba Out!

Why did the Monster suddenly attack the 22nd Group?

Hmm... Aside from those "specifically there to make someone famous," Cong Yu can't think of any others.

Other possibilities emerge.

Who sent you?!

It was Fate; Fate sent the Monster.

Although the Monster itself certainly doesn't think that way...

After all, Monster are creatures that chase after magic if they have it, and if they don't have magic or have already eaten two leek dumplings and are full, they'll wander around aimlessly.

So it wandered around aimlessly, and just happened to choose the 22nd Group, and then coincidentally bumped into the Doctor's office.

Then, by sheer coincidence, the reagent cabinet was hit, the syringe containing Refined Ricin Toxin was injected into Red's body, and then, just as coincidentally, half of it was pushed in...

That makes perfect sense!

"That's completely unreasonable!"

The Doctor couldn't take it anymore. She quickly began amputating Hong's leg, completely bewildered. "This is terrifying!"

It was indeed frightening, but it was just a weak Monster. What truly dealt Red a fatal blow was the Doctor's medicine.

To be honest, even if the Monster were to deliver a serious blow to Red head-on, she wouldn't be in any danger... Ultimately, the Grim Reaper couldn't rationally assess Red's strength.

Thinking this, Cong Yu then sat on the gradually dissipating Monster's corpse and moved the summoned Jormungandr Train away from the Doctor.

In the emergency, he chose to protect the Doctor instead of Hong, and glanced at the unconscious Hong without leaving a trace.

It's not about favoring the Doctor or ignoring Hong.

But not protecting them is really not an option... If Hong gets hit, she might break a few bones at most, but if the Doctor gets hit, he'll almost be paralyzed.

With this thought in mind, Cong Yu's body gradually passed through the dissipated Monster's flesh, and he stood on the ground again with his hands clasped together.

I offered a moment of silence for this Monster that Fate used as a bullet.

Although it was Cong Yu who killed him, that didn't stop him from observing a moment of silence... and looking forward to what kind of Fate would pull next.

The Doctor's operating room is now a complete mess; cabinets and boxes have been almost entirely destroyed by the Monster that crashed through the outer wall.

Several packets of coffee were scattered on the ground.

The computer was completely crushed and mangled...

Red was indeed flattened, but since she's a magical girl, she wouldn't die easily from poison or being slammed against a wall and turned into a pancake.

After all, it's just poison and physical damage.

So, it seems there's no need for a Resurrection Match?

Judging from what Yaochuan Guang Lantian Zhu said before, Lao Da's fighting ability is really quite weak; he's just an ordinary person.

Therefore, Red should be able to win the Resurrection Match easily.

Just as Cong Yu was thinking this, the Doctor's squashed computer, perhaps malfunctioning, started playing music.

It's been a long day--

"Without you, my friend--"

"And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again--"

"..." What? It's "See you again"?

And it's playing at double speed?!

Oh no, it's the war song... it's the Lao Da war song!

Red!!!

Cong Yu became somewhat worried and kicked the chattering computer debris away, stopping its inexplicable music playback.

Is Red playing in Resurrection Match?!

--

"Hongxiayu! Hongxiayu!"

"Bryant! Bryant!"

"..." When Hong opened her eyes again, she felt as if she were standing on a fighting ring... What was going on?

Wait, wasn't I knocked flying?

Thinking this, Hong looked around in confusion, then at the bloodthirsty spectators in the stands.

Then, Red's gaze focused on her opponent on the other side of the ring.

A fence temporarily separated the two, preventing them from fighting prematurely... and on the other side of the fence stood a man who appeared to be wearing a sports jersey.

A bald black man.

The other person's name... is it Bryant?

Before Hong could even figure out what was going on, the commentator's impassioned voice rang out from the fighting arena.

It seemed to be coming from loudspeakers inside the venue.

"Alright! Let's get back to the Resurrection Match!"

The commentator shouted this, trying to liven up the atmosphere in the stadium.

Resurrection Match?!

Am I dead?

Hong stared wide-eyed in disbelief, but... in the Resurrection Match, winning means you can be revived, right?!

"First, let's get to know the player in the red corner, codenamed— Black Mamba! The Black Mamba of today is not what he used to be!!!"

Amidst these sounds, the athlete known as the Black Mamba waved his hands, his confident expression radiating a terrifying aura.

The commentator's explanation continued...

"He who had never won a single battle! He is no longer an ordinary man! This is the Black Mamba who has received Divine Revelation! He is far more powerful than ever before!!!"

"God Black Mamba!!!"

Amid the commentator's cheers, the surrounding crowd also began to cheer, chanting the name "Bryant".

"..." As this explanation was given, Hong began to examine it carefully.

His opponent was tall and agile, with well-defined muscles.

But that's not important. What's important is...

The other person definitely gave off a terrifying feeling.

Perhaps, this is the final blow delivered to Red within the chain of events... God Black Mamba!

Realizing this, Hong immediately began to gather her magic power, preparing for battle—however, she was not confident of victory.

"Battle! Begin!"

As soon as the commentator's voice was heard, the gate in front of the two opened rapidly, and the red one gathered Crimson Blood Crystal and launched an attack.

But surprisingly, the opponent simply swung his elbow, and that elbow strike, enveloped in intense light and flame, shattered everything.

What?!

Completely unprepared for this, Red could only hastily engage in close combat with her opponent...

Fist to fist!

"Bang bang bang!"

Elbow to elbow!!!

"Bang bang bang!!!"

The two sides launched a fierce counterattack that lasted for a while... or rather, for a very, very long time.

They continued to attack each other under the watchful eyes of the audience.

Until their faces were covered in blood...

"Huff... huff... so strong, did I get thwarted again?"

As Hong spoke, she had a clear understanding of her own condition. Gritting her teeth, a Crimson Formation appeared beneath her feet. "But! This is the end!"

Shouting this, Red was brimming with fighting spirit.

She must be resurrected! She has a reason why she absolutely must be resurrected!!!

"..." In response, the fighter standing opposite her stopped his attack and simply stared at the red figure with determination in his eyes.

Then, he took a deep breath and wagged his finger at Hong. Undoubtedly, this meant "you're not good enough."

But...

"You lost, but I didn't want to win either... I've tried the power of the gods, and it is indeed very useful, but I don't like it."

Black Mamba chuckled, revealing a set of white teeth. "I'd rather train hard every day... One day, I'll defeat you guys with my mortal body."

He only wanted to witness the Underworld at four in the morning.

He doesn't need the gifts from the gods!

Therefore, the Black Mamba chose to walk straight off the stage, just as his legendary life had ended in the world of the living.

"What can I say Mamba out!"

Chapter 379 Beware of Moerae

"You said... God enhanced your opponent in the Resurrection Match, a black fighter named Black Mamba, wearing a jersey."

You said Black Mamba is very strong, almost evenly matched with you.

"..." Cong Yu paused for a moment. Black Mamba, huh? Looks like he's not from Prison...

What a load of rubbish! This is just a big prison!

Cong Yu didn't know what to say.

"Well, but in the end, that guy said he didn't need the power of a god. So he said 'Mamba out' and voluntarily admitted defeat."

As Hong spoke, the Doctor standing beside her looked pained...

You're just dreaming.

As the Doctor spoke, she didn't know why she was listening to such idiotic remarks... nor did she know why she was working with someone so mentally challenged.

"Neither the Monster's attack nor ricin would be fatal to you... You can't possibly die, so there's no need for a Resurrection Match."

As an eccentric individual who talks about science and magic, the Doctor felt she couldn't take it anymore and emphasized, "There's no such thing as Resurrection Match in this world."
