Chapter 331: Chapter 264 Talent Battle of Wits_3

Now’s the time!

Sheraya timed it in his mind then immediately used his ability.

"...!"

Their noses were mere millimeters from the ground, but the three of them were temporarily suspended in midair.

"Phew..." Sheraya breathed a sigh of relief and deactivated his ability, and the three steadily returned to the ground.

"Well done, Sheraya," Xiao Yi said calmly, "Thanks to you, I just had a free experience of jumping off a building without equipment or safety gear."

[Jumping off a building without equipment or safety gear? Isn’t that just plain jumping off a building!?]

"Ah... thanks for the compliment!" Although Sheraya was still instinctively shaken, he cast those thoughts aside upon hearing Xiao Yi’s praise.

However, just as the trio had gotten over a heart-pounding experience, the situation took another sudden turn!

"Do you remember me?"

The three of them immediately looked toward the source of the voice!

There, Bomberman was dragging the body of his teammate, appearing right in front of them.

Moreover! His teammate’s body was riddled with holes! Dark red blood was gushing onto the ground and flowing toward Xiao Yi and the others.

"What...!"

The sight shocked all three of them!

"You care about this guy?" Bomberman said with a smile, "This is my gift to you, since you took what was mine, the core, which I deeply resent. I really wanted to see the expressions you’re showing now. It’s quite delightful! His role as a welcome gift is now fulfilled. I’ll leave him to you."

With that, Bomberman dropped his teammate onto the ground and then kicked the body fiercely!

His teammate rolled over to Xiao Yi and the others, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground!

"Ah..."

The man was still alive, but anyone could tell he was beyond saving.

So, Sheraya directly asked, "Do you... know what his ability is?"

He wasn’t holding out much hope, but it was worth a try!

"Ah... touch, explode..." But the man was on his last breath, and it was with his last bit of strength and hatred for Bomberman that he managed to utter these broken words.

And with that, he reached his limit.

Still... the information was scarce.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi also said, "Hold on a bit longer, don’t die yet! Finish what you’re saying before you die!"

"..."

The man’s eyes widened, and as if mustering a final burst of energy, he said,

"How can I hold back from dying?"

After leaving his last words, the man breathed his last.

"Alright, it’s time for you to join him." Bomberman smirked, "Remember my face, for I am the grim reaper who will end your lives!"

Bomberman then took out a bomb, but he also knew that his ability had a range limit of ten meters, so he had to get close to Xiao Yi and his group.

But Bomberman was also aware that the same rule applied to Xiao Yi and his group.

If he wanted to attack them, he had to get within ten meters, but that also meant he could be harmed by their abilities!

Therefore, the best tactic was to throw the bomb the moment he entered the ten-meter radius and then retreat back out of their range!

However, no matter what, his bomb needed three seconds to explode. If he threw it after entering ten meters, three seconds was enough time for them to react and even take him down!

But beyond ten meters, his ability would be ineffective.

This was undeniably a significant disadvantage, but... Bomberman had already thought of a way to solve this.

"...!"

Though he hadn’t yet reached the ten-meter mark, Bomberman immediately threw the bomb!

Then, in the next moment, Bomberman sprinted after the bomb he had thrown!

That’s right! A ten-meter radius around oneself, so, why not just move?

Relying on this, Bomberman could compensate for his three-second disadvantage!

He calculated the distance and confirmed that when he was ten meters from his opponent, his bomb would explode perfectly! No matter how quick the opponent reacted, it would be too late!

...I won! It’s my victory!

Bomberman was certain of his victory, but in the next instant! Bomberman saw that Sheraya had also started moving towards him!

Sheraya also noticed this, understood his intention, and prepared to counter him directly!

Bomberman couldn’t stop his steps in time! There were still two seconds on the bomb’s timer, but at that moment, the distance between the two had already shrunk to less than ten meters!

"..."

Sheraya activated her ability! Spikes protruding from the ground knocked the bomb high into the air, more than ten meters away, making it useless!

At the same time, two stones flew from the ground, smashing Bomberman’s hands together and melding into one, transforming into shackles that locked his hands!

"Wha...!"

Bomberman was utterly astounded, while Sheraya coldly said, "I’ve never seen it in action, but from your previous performance, your ability is to make things you touch with your hands explode, right? So, locking your hands should suffice. It seems now that you can control whether the things your hands touch explode based on your subjective will. Otherwise, your hands would have blasted apart along with those stones."

Sheraya had originally intended to cripple his hands, but due to uncertainty about the exact nature of his ability and fearing he might have another trick up his sleeve, disabling his hands might complicate matters more, so it was safer to just seal them first.

"Oh, impressive, Sheraya," Xiao Yi praised upon seeing this, "I don’t quite understand, but you’ve won, haven’t you?"

Sheraya smiled at Xiao Yi, "Not sure yet... better be cautious."

"Damn it! It was so close! I was just a bit away from winning! Why!?"

At that moment, Bomberman showed a frustrated expression, knelt on the ground, and fiercely slammed his hands into it, as if trying to break the shackles.

But it was inevitably futile.

"Damn it! Damn it..."

Bomberman laid his upper body on the ground, emitting sounds of resentment.

Seeing this, Sheraya also breathed a sigh of relief.

But then...

"Hmph... just kidding."

Bomberman had never said that only the things his hands touched would explode!

Anything he touched could explode! And... it would cause the entire connected whole to detonate!

Although the larger the interconnected whole, the harder it was to explode and the weaker the force became, touching this thing would be enough to kill the unguarded Xiao Yi and his team.

Immediately! Bomberman stuck out his tongue and licked the ground!

"..." Sheraya paused for a moment when she saw it, then quickly realized!

The ground... was covered in blood.

The blood of that person had already soaked the ground.

Bomberman killing his teammate wasn’t just to shock Xiao Yi and his team!

It was also... his backup plan.

A contingency to reverse the situation when his actions were restricted.

And Bomberman kicking his teammate towards Xiao Yi and his team was precisely for this reason.

The pool of blood from that person had already formed under the feet of Xiao Yi and his group!

"...Xiao Yi! Get away!"

Even though Sheraya had already sensed Bomberman’s intention, it was ultimately too late.

The countdown... had already begun.

Three, two...

"Boom!!!"
