Chapter 862: Accusation
A few days passed and Ning arrived next to a beach on the westernmost southern end of the Starsoar continent.
He had learned that there was a dungeon here, underwater at that, and so he walked in.
The dungeon looked like a long-lost palace, hidden underneath the sea and as soon as Ning entered, the palace would seep with water. So, there was only so much time Ning could spend in there before he fully drowned.
Ning wasn’t worried though as he had cards to help him end this quickly, and he did. The Legendary class was so good that he ended up getting an overwhelming single clear, far faster than any party clear could be.
Once Ning cleared it several times, he found the best of his run and uploaded it online.
“That is sure to get them agitated,” Ning giggled as he thought to himself. The last few days, he had been going through every single one of the dungeons around here and uploading the 5 to 8 minutes-long clip of how ridiculously easily he beat the dungeon.
That sparked a lot of controversies online, bringing both fans and haters to his channel. The fans were fine, but it was the haters that gave Ning the most pleasure.
Seeing them angry on every single video, and calling him a cheater was a fun sight for him. What was more fun was knowing that he cheated and there was nothing they could do about it.
He giggled a bit more as he made his way back to the keep.
“That’s him! That’s the guy,” someone shouted and before long there were a group of people that surrounded Ning.
Ning looked around, confused before one of them spoke up.
“Are you the one called Immortal Energy?” the man asked. He wore green armor with a black helmet and had purple butterfly wings that seemed to create some smoke on their own.
“I am,” Ning said. He was surprised to see a group fo humans in this land that was now occupied by the demons.
The 12 or so people that surrounded him suddenly perked up when he acknowledged his name.
“You cheater!”
“Stop playing the game!”
“How did you cheat? Tell us!”
The people there immediately started shouting at him in words that were barely discernible due to how jumbled they shouted.
‘Ah, I expected them to come faster,’ Ning thought and crossed his arms.
“What do you have to say for yourself, cheater?” one of them asked.
“What cheater? How dare you call me a cheater! Do you have any proof?” Ning said back at that person.
“If you didn’t cheat, then how did you beat the dungeon so fast? How do you kill the boss in such little hits?” another person asked.
“That’s because I’m strong,” Ning said conclusively.
“Bullshit! You’re level 150 at best. There is no way a level 150 should ever be able to beat the Hydra in just 3 attacks,” the man at the front said.
Ning shrugged. “What can I say? I’m just that good. Maybe you guys should get good too,” he said.
“This bastard! I’ll kill him,” one man shouted and came at Ning while slashing a sword at him.
Ning stood where he was, not even moving to dodge at all. When the sword fell on him, it simply passed through him like he was a ghost.
“Evasion?” the man was a little taken aback.
He tried to cut Ning again, but the sword passed through him once more.
“What the hell? 2 misses in a row?” the man frowned.
Ning crossed his arms and watched as the man cut his 10 times, and 10 times in a row he missed.
“You… you’re clearly cheating,” the man said. The others that stood behind him also started accusing Ning once again.
“Am I?” Ning asked the man. “Or are you just unlucky?”
“You!” the man’s face turned to anger as he used a technique.
Two cards appeared in front of Ning at the same time, and he used both of them.
A bolt of lightning fell onto Ning, but it didn’t hit him. Instead, a magical mirror appeared in front of Ning that reflected the attack back to the man.
The card Ning had pulled was a spell reflection card that created a mirror shield.
The second card he pulled was a skill that amplified his magic damage by 500% for a single attack.
On top of that, after activating the cards, his debuff aura that reduced magic resistance had been applied to everyone around him as well.
That was to say when the bolt of lightning landed back on the man, he instantly took 5000 magic damage, removing half of his health at once.
He was a magic swordsman, so he was used to dealing magic damage to his enemies with this spell. However, never in his life had he ever dealt even a fifth of this damage.
The man started fearing that he might die right now and lose some of his precious items.
“You say you’re not cheating, and that you’re just that good, huh?” the man with the purple wings spoke up. He had to de-escalate the situation from going any further or the cheater might actually kill them all and loot them.
With his cheats, who knew what he could do to their dead bodies?
“Of course,” Ning said. “I’m very good.”
The man sneered. “Are you that good in real life too? Do you have any talents?” he asked.
“Hmm…” Ning thought for a moment. “No.”
The man finally smiled. He thought he finally had found an edge over Ning and was going to use it. “Then stop—”
“I’m better in real life,” Ning interrupted. “What? You thought I was going to go back on my words?”
The many people standing there were getting really annoyed by him.
The purple-winged man spoke after thinking for a while. “Then do you think you’re good enough to beat me in a 1 vs 1 match of Burst Shooter in real life?” he asked.
Ning didn’t even hesitate. “Of course,” he said. “Although, what’s a burst shooter?”
