Chapter 369: Bad Ending? (4)
—
Sisty just made a blunder. She just lied to him.
There was actually no way to keep the inventory preserved if the Gamer were to die and a new one is selected.
She had no idea how the 1st Gamer did it. How he left a letter for the next Gamer to see. Sisty didn't know how that was even possible, to her knowledge, so she had no idea how to replicate the effect.
Yet, Sisty lied so that he wouldn't be too worried. That he could fight with all his might, without anything weighing down on him. That... if he were to perish, he could go without any regrets.
Of course, she didn't want him to die. But what could she do? She was such a weakling... She couldn't even save her host.
Sisty could only patiently wait for that woman, Lady Luck to try to help him.
That woman had to be up to something. She sacrificed so much for him, she had to be planning something to help him out this time too.
...Unknown to Sisty, Lady Luck indeed planned to intervene. However, her older sister was trying her best not to get her into this mess — which meant Fate was stopping Luck.

"You are an amusing young man. How desperate to live you are. It pleases me so much seeing you in this state."
Celestine casually clashed against Neji, Old Man of the Mountain, and Nawab, and she didn't waste any opportunity to mock Neji.
Despite being the weakest amongst the three, where Nawab was Tier 43 and the First Hassan Tier 24, the Level 2800 sealed-Neji held off better than Hassan.
"Shut up."
Neji's arm raised over his head, and a weapon slipped out of the inventory into his grip.
He would be hesitant to use it at any other time, but this time it was different.
[Prime Thor's Hammer – Stormbreaker]
The crackling ham-axe appeared in his hand, and to his surprise, the lightning within it enhanced his Lightning Armour to give him further buff.
Neji never used this weapon before as using it might give his location away to the Prime Gods. However, since he was already found, there was no point in not using all his cards.
Neji swung the weapon down.
Celestine took a side step, trying to dodge, but she got hit by it in the end, the speed was too great to dodge.
Her body shimmered, decomposing into golden light, as she gave him a small grin. This clone of her died, but then a dozen more rushed at him from behind.
The one who was causing the most kills was Nawab. Since she was using clones too, with her higher Tier she was the one most dangerous against Celestine. Neji was right behind, as he was using all his cards, all his hax abilities, and fighting in a berserker mode, he dealt a lot of kills as well. The First Hassan was behind both of them by a large margin, but that was expected.
Still, throughout this all, Celestine was not furious at all. She looked as if she was enjoying this as if she was still playing a game.
"It's a pity."
Said one of Celestine's clones that were clashing with Neji. Her expression was a little sorrowful.
"I wanted to torture your emotions for a bit longer. However, it seems my current power level is not near enough to break into your Inventory. Haaah, I wanted to bring those girls out, I... I wanted to kill them one by one while all you could do was watch."
