Seeing Volunteer No.2 use his earth escape card, the audience thought the fight in the VR-City will become a cat-and-mouse chase but to their surprise, Volunteer No.1 whose body was covered in lightning rule suddenly morphed into a bolt of lightning and followed Volunteer No.2 into the tunnel he had burrowed. 

In a second, a huge explosion sounded, the ground burst open, a sinkhole appeared in the middle of the road, and rumbles flew across the street damaging the surrounding infrastructure. Soon two figures can be seen jumping out of the sinkhole. 

Volunteer No.1 frowned and asked, ”How come you donʼt have a single scratch on you when you took the full brunt of my lightning bolt?” 

”I donʼt know, but I did feel the pain of being burnt alive by a bolt of lightning,” Volunteer No.2 replied and checked his body, it hadnʼt taken any damage. Even his clothes did not have a single scratch on them. It was as if he wasnʼt recently bombarded by a bolt of lightning rule power. 

”You donʼt die in the VR City. However, the more damage your consciousness sustains in the VR City, the more mentally exhausted you will be when you wake up in the real world. As a precaution to hurt the userʼs mind, when the userʼs consciousness sustained a lot of damage, you will be forced out of the VR city,” I explained to the Volunteer and the audience while adding a large number of NPC to the VR city and added the gore function. Seeing the two volunteers fight, I realized an important reason for the popularity of open-world games was realistic NPC and gore.

”Wow, where did all these people come from,” Volunteer No.2 asked looking at the streets and the air space of the city that was previously empty was now filled with people, vehicles, and floaters. 

”Ignore them, they are interactive illusions I added to the VR City. You guys continue with your fight. Go wild, the sky is your limit,” I encouraged the Volunteers to continue their fight in the recently populated VR City. 

”Master Wyatt, are you saying no matter how hard I hit him in here, he will not die but only be a little mentally exhausted at best?” Volunteer No.1 enquired as his eyes glanced at Volunteer No.2 like a predator looking at its prey. It was not every day he got to beat the ass of a rich young master without any consequences. 

”Yes, so donʼt hold back,” I answered Volunteer No.1 feeling pity for Volunteer No.2 who had not forged his ego gem yet. His daddyʼs money can buy him the best cards but not help him forge his ego gem. 

Looking at soul pathways his soul pathways it was clear Volunteer No.2 never practiced active soul control seriously yet thanks to the best external help his fatherʼs money could buy he has reached the card lord realm at such a young age. He might have even broken through to Card Overlord rank if not for the fact that he had to forge an ego gem before breaking through to a higher realm. 

”Fuck, this is not an illusionary city it is a torture machine,” Volunteer No.2 exclaimed as ran for his life chanting, ”Pixie wings activate, Wind escape activate.” 

Soon a pair of dragonfly-type wings appear on the back of Volunteer No.2, then taking off, he escaped in a random direction at an insane speed. Seeing this Volunteer No.1 once again morphed into a bolt of lightning and followed behind Volunteer No.2. 

As Volunteer No.1 passed by the surrounding infrastructure and people were hit by his lightning rule power, screams of dying people and the smell of human meat being burnt filled the atmosphere. All of this was so vivid that the sensitive people in the audience and viewers looked away. They almost felt bad for the Npc. However, the rest of the audience and viewers were at the precipice of discovering the rush and adrenaline of modern gaming. 

Volunteer No.1 who had morphed into a bolt of lightning wanted to ignore the illusionary people and catch Volunteer No.2 but their screams and the smell of human bbq made it hard for him to ignore them. Steeling his heart and mind, he slowly gained on Volunteer No.2. 

”Dark Obisdain Form,” Seeing that Volunteer No.1 was about to catch him Volunteer No.2 activated his defense card and morphed into a humanoid statue of Obisdain to avoid the pain of being burnt alive by a bolt of lightning rule power. 

Soon a bolt of lightning struck the Dark Obisdain statue resulting in a huge explosion of energy. lightning rule power dispersed in the surrounding unable to harm the obsidian statue. However, Volunteer No.1 wasnʼt done, he used his master of lightning rule, he excited the clouds covering the VR City and soon lightning started to rain down on the Dark Obsidian statue, ”Lightning rule: Lightning Shower.” 

Being struck by multiple lightning, cracks began to appear on the Dark Obisdain statue. And finally, the statue exploded spreading Dark Obsidian shrapnels in the surrounding. The infrastructure in the surrounding crumbled down while the people had turned into stains of blood and chucks of meat. 

Volunteer No.1 did not see this coming as a result chucks of the Dark Obsidian were embedded in the front of his body. Enduring the pain he removed the shrapnels only to see his body heal at a visible speed without him making use of soul energy. 

”It hurts doesnʼt it,” Volunteer No.2 walked out of the huge hole in the middle of the road and celebrated the fact that he finally managed to inflict some pain on Volunteer No.1. The Dark Obsidian form card only encase him in a Dark Obsidian shell. So when the statue explode, the shell exploded outwards while he was safe at the core.
