Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start

Chapter 281: Chapter 164: The Sudden Showdown

On the other side.

Lilia, just about to follow Tyler into Night Town, was taken aback.

She looked around and suddenly said, ”Mr. Tyler, I seem to have received a message from my teammate, I should go find him first.”

Tyler was somewhat disappointed: ”You really don’t want to reconsider? You could even have your teammate join us.”

”Thank you, Mr. Tyler, but I’m still used to being with my original teammates, sorry.” Lilia slightly bowed, her figure gradually fading and disappearing.

Meanwhile, at the mayor’s house.

A trembling figure raised his head, holding a mechanical mosquito that fluttered its wings slightly. He glanced around with some regret.

After three days of searching, he hadn’t found any clues about the core.

However, he had some suspicions, though he wasn’t sure if they were correct.

Yet, it seemed time to leave; the captain was calling...

The timorous demeanor on him vanished, turning into a confident, sunny youth.

”Goodbye, or rather, hope to never see you again....”

He waved, and his figure gradually disappeared.

Chaos erupted in Night Town, with members of the Dawn Squad killing whoever they encountered and destroying buildings wherever they went.

The predominantly wooden buildings of Night Town were ablaze all over.

The entire town started collapsing from its edges.

”Black Night Law Article 45, those who destroy buildings, imprisonment, fines, flogging!”

”Black Night Law Article 3, those who kill without cause, execution!”

The aura of the rules flowed, and members of the Dawn Squad were reducing in numbers one by one.

Nevertheless, among the squad of over 130 members, more than fifty were of the Golden tier.

When dispersed, they could unleash terrifying power.

The Night Cultists also resisted, leading to fierce clashes between both sides.

But the Dawn Squad had the numerical advantage, and their teamwork was much better than that of the Night Cultists.

For a while, Dawn overwhelmed Night, and the destruction of the town intensified.

In the core of the town, Pu Sheng felt the various shockwaves around, rubbing his temples.

It was too mind-boggling; he still couldn’t understand why Charles suddenly launched a full-scale attack. After all, he was already wanted; as long as the Night Cultists guarded the surroundings, he shouldn’t have been able to bypass the rules and enter.

If Charles went all out, the ultimate beneficiary would only be Baiyi....

Thud thud...

Steady footsteps approached, Pu Sheng looked up, and in a burning house, a graceful young man pushed open the blazing door, smiling at him.

Pu Sheng immediately felt several question marks pop up over his head.

What was happening? Had Charles gone mad? He actually came directly to find him?

That’s what Pu Sheng thought, and that’s what he asked: ”Is something wrong with your brain?”

Not far from him, two Golden Upper Tier individuals watched Charles warily, their power building up.

Charles shrugged: ”Maybe, but today, Night Town belongs to me.”

Pu Sheng was at a loss for words, just about to say something when a terrifying sense of crisis suddenly made his face change drastically.

”Retreat!”

He shouted without hesitation, his entire body enveloped by a mysterious force, instantly vanishing from the spot.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

A terrifying power of rules descended, a massive mouth appeared in the void, biting down fiercely.

Sz~ boom!

A sound like fabric tearing echoed, and the two Golden Upper Tier individuals erupted with immense power, shattering the void’s mouth.

At the same time, Pu Sheng fell out from the void, looking at Charles in surprise.

This... didn’t seem too good.

He recalled something—the first time Charles came looking for him, planning to use the Nightmare World to trap other Ancient Gods’ Favored, it seemed he was... a Shadow Assassin!

And today’s rule was not to step on shadows.

Shadow... shadow...

And combined with the Dark God’s Favored...

Pu Sheng’s mouth twitched.

It seemed things had gone awry; these rules seemed tailor-made for this guy... how could it be so coincidental?

”Retrieve the shadows, he’s a Shadow Assassin....”

Pu Sheng said with some difficulty, but he felt it was probably useless. For a Shadow Assassin blessed by darkness, creating some darkness connected to the opponent was incredibly simple.

Buzz~

Suddenly, another power of rules enveloped Charles, causing his aura to abruptly drop, and his Life Value plummeted rapidly.

The carefree curve at the corner of Charles’s mouth flattened.

Again like this, who was targeting him?

How did he unknowingly break the rules? He clearly put his shadow in the shadows; who could step on his shadow?

He was entirely out of luck, by now, he should have emerged victorious....

-----------------

Sabah Royal Palace.

Baiyi watched the footage from the mechanical mosquito high above, deep in thought.

It was too sudden; in his predictions, Charles shouldn’t have come for him first?

He was all set for a long fight, but now an unexpected showdown came....

The flood of question marks in Baiyi’s eyes was hard to suppress; was it really okay to ignore him like this?

”Captain, is it okay for us to retreat here?”

Lilia’s voice sounded, carrying some concern: ”And Rein hasn’t come out yet, should I go find him first?”

Baiyi returned to his senses, rubbing his brow, dealing with these old schemers really was mentally exhausting.

”It’s just about enough, I’ve already notified Rein, but his task is different from yours, just ensure your own safety, and if nothing unexpected happens, I’ll find you in an hour.”
