Closed Beta That Only I Played - Chapter 398 - Black Liquid Man (1)
I didn’t like this guy’s attitude, but I wanted to ask him a lot of questions.
Instead of asking him something typical like ‘Tell me who you are!’, I wanted to ask him why he was fighting against us because the change and flow of the current ‘Revival Legend’ definitely warranted such a question.
When I watched the video provided by America’s Holridge Group, and also the video in Osaka, Japan, they acted first without leaving any room for compromise.
Was I scared or fearful of them? Absolutely not.
I just wanted to know why, for I would not be curious anymore if I found out the reason.
But I didn’t ask because it would make that black liquid man misunderstand that I was pleading for mercy after he openly ignored me.
Besides, I wasn’t the only one here. Hundreds of thousands of people were seated behind me, so I couldn’t ask such a question while they were watching me closely.

Of course, it would be different if I confidently questioned him as the winner after having him kneel, grabbing him by the collar. That was my goal anyway.
If I wanted to converse with him, I needed to defeat him first.
While I was getting ready to fight, the black liquid man opened his mouth.
[Alright! I can erase my shameful behavior from my record without letting anybody know it. I won’t give you the chance to be absorbed by me to bless my nourishment. I will punish you instead. Raindrops of Death!]
As soon as the black liquid man finished speaking, black droplets like sweat began to form on the surface of his body. Then, in an instant, those countless tiny drops of black water rose up into the air.
Pitter-patter, pitter-patter.
They immediately started pouring down in all directions.
Since the black liquid man already initiated an attack, I didn’t sit idle, nor did my supporters and reinforcements.
“Avoid it!”
“Don’t touch those black droplets!”
They had already fully experienced the horrible power of that black liquid. So there were some who began to retreat right away, while others were trying to defend against it.
“Fire Shield!”
“Earth Spirit. Stop it!”
“Great Shield!”
:
:
“Let my body be solid steel!”
“Create a Shield!”
At that moment, however, they began to come in contact with the drops of black liquid.
Shuunnnnnnnng! Shuuuuuuuuung! Shuuuuuuuuung!
“Khuuuuuuuuk!
“Kheeeeeeeeeeel!”
“Damn it!”
“Help!”
The black liquid previously absorbed anything that was alive, but this time it pierced through everything like a bullet. For example, when it touched somebody’s shoulder, it pierced their shoulder. When it touched somebody’s head, it pierced their head from top to bottom.
And that wasn’t all.
Those whose bodies were pierced by the black liquid began to melt right away.
All of a sudden, a hellish world appeared in front of us.
Of course, those who died like that were ordinary people, including soldiers.
Those who achieved level 1200 and raised their reality actualization rate endured it for a while without being pierced by the black liquid drops, let alone those who used a protective shield.
However, even they seemed to be unable to protect themselves completely.
“My health is disappearing so quickly. Kheeeeeeeeek!”
“My shield is beginning to crack!”
“Get out of the way!”
“My shield won’t last long!”
Obviously, the drops that fell on each person were only one or two, and very tiny raindrops at that.
But it did not require a lot of raindrops to neutralize not only shields, but also tanks that maximized their defense power.
How about me?
Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting!
I used Ice Shield to block them, which I had rarely used in the past.
That’s why I kept it to use it in an emergency like this instead of deleting it.
I really did not want to touch that creepy black liquid.
Unlike other people’s shields, my shield completely blocked black liquid drops.
There was no sign of cracking, let alone breaking at all.
Since my shield stood out in protecting me from the lethal raindrops, it obviously drew the black liquid man’s attention.
[It’s because of you! You have made me fail.]
“Yup. I did. Are you black liquid? How creepy and dirty! Look at this water, it’s the same liquid as you. But wouldn’t it be nice to be clear like that?]
[How arrogant you are when you don’t even have a mark! Even if you have one, it’s useless anyway.]
“Something like a black tattoo? Man, it’s just too messy to wear stuff like that on my body. Of course, it’s okay if it’s cool, but people aren’t objects. It’s like a barcode, so I don’t like it at all,” I spat out, shaking my head
[…]
The black liquid man paused for a moment at my words.
But I continued, “By the way, your body lookss like you’ve been on a hardcore diet. You are so skinny right now. Is it because you’ve been sweating?”
Contrary to what I said, of course, the black liquid man did not become noticeably skinny, but as the black liquid drops that accumulated on his body like sweat fell off, his height and build became smaller than before.
Wiggle, wiggle.
Clearly, the drops of black liquid fell from the guy’s body, soared into the air, then fell to the ground like rain. However, they did not disappear. Rather they moved towards him like a living creature. As soon as they came into contact with his feet, they were absorbed back into his body.
Since I didn’t want to sit idle, watching this bizarre phenomenon, I launched attacks right away. Obviously, recycling was good, but I didn’t really like this creepy guy’s recycling.
“Ice Field! Multiple Thin Ice!”
Pasasasasak!
The first reason why I created the ice terrain was because it was a battlefield very advantageous to me. But this time, I had another reason.
Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!
Although it was a small amount, numerous black liquid droplets were moving towards him. When I turned the surroundings near those black liquid droplets into an ice terrain, they started bubbling, releasing black energy and disappearing as if they were evaporating.
At that moment, the black liquid man got furious and began to counterattack.
[How can you erase my stuff without my permission? Merge and kill the enemy in front of me! Death Spear!]
Surely my attack rubbed him the wrong way.
As soon as he finished speaking, countless drops of black liquid that fell like raindrops merged into a huge spear and pierced towards me.
Clang!
My level 5 Ice Shield blocked the raindrops of death perfectly just a little while ago.
This time, however, it was smashed without blocking the Death Spear.
At the same time, the Death Spear almost pierced my head.
However, I had a means of transportation that was so fast that I could not find any better expression to describe it, namely, Blink with zero cooldown.
So, I immediately avoided his attack, and at the same time moved behind him.
Then I shouted, “Ice Breath!”
Bang!
This was my skill that boasted of the most powerful power at the moment.
[Oh my God…how can I crumble like this…]
Of course, I didn’t think that I could kill him with one single strike.
No matter how strong Ice Breath was, my current target was so different from what I had seen until now. It was impossible to even compare him to those who appeared in Osaka.
