?Chapter 97: Chapter 96 Master, don’t pity me ~ Use me to your heart’s content! 【Two-in-one】_1 Chapter 97: Chapter 96 Master, don’t pity me ~ Use me to your heart’s content! 【Two-in-one】_1 Luo Xi clenched his fist.


    The armored fist, composed of metallic mechanisms, clenched in unison.


    This strange experience was so marvelous, the mechanical body seemed like an extension of his own, although there was a slight sense of action delay, it was still incredibly astonishing.


    The frost flowers periodically spraying from his back were like the armor breathing, spreading around the armor and drifting away with the cold wind as if cheering for the power armor’s return to battle after so many years.


    [Ding! Spark’s favorability towards you +10]


    [Ding! Spark’s favorability towards you +3]


    Luo Xi: “!”


    What’s with this favorability situation?!


    Could it be that this power armor, imbued with a naive consciousness, was expressing its joy at being able to fight again?


    Although Cat Cat had previously mentioned that weapons forged by master-level craftsmen possess souls, this situation where the armor showed favorability was indeed quite surprising to him.


    Suddenly, the several hundred other guards patrolling the shanty area heard the commotion and rushed over with their weapons, some of whom were leaders of small squads. On seeing the massive figure, they instantly gasped in astonishment.


    “Why is there an Essence Power armor here?!”


    “This model of armor looks really old; it should have been retired by now, shouldn’t it? Why is there still one that can move? Who is operating it inside? Is it a colleague from the Mansion of the City Lord?”


    “Then why is he attacking us?!”


    You should know that unless authorized by the Mansion of the City Lord, ordinary people are not allowed to possess complete power armors. Most of the armors that end up on the market are merely decorative, with their power cores and mithril mechanisms removed, nothing more than empty shells useless even if reclaimed.


    A guard in purple scale armor growled: “No matter who is operating the armor, anyone who dares to attack and kill our brothers of the City Guard must pay the price!”


    Someone had already helped the guard who had been punched into the encampment by the power armor, only to find that the guard had been smashed into a pulp and quickly frozen into a bloody lump in the cold environment.


    The tall power armor bowed its head, gazing at the increasingly gathered guards ahead.


    Since the fog inside the armor’s cockpit had cleared, Luo Xi could clearly see bewilderment, confusion, and anger written on the guards’ faces.


    Why do you not feel fear?


    The one who was punched away by him was probably dead, right?


    However, this time Luo Xi didn’t feel nauseous after the killing intent dissipated, unlike when he had previously killed Black Snake.


    Humans, as creatures, are always swayed by different thoughts, and their personalities can gradually and subtly change due to environmental influences.


    The old him would never have so easily used such a lethal weapon to take another person’s life.


    After all, he had come to understand that this is a real world, not merely a game.


    Yet, after his experiences in this period, Luo Xi found that the ‘normal people’ of this world held no sympathy for the Mutant Patients, who should be pitied. They beat and harmed their own kin without restraint, sparing not even little children.


    Are these still called human beings?


    He was not clear about what would happen afterward.


    Now, Luo Xi just wanted to vent the anger hidden in his heart.


    You all don’t treat people as human beings, right?


    So, I don’t need to treat you as humans either!


    One guard, bolstered by the assembly of his comrades, shouted with new-found confidence:


    “Listen up, whoever you are inside, how dare you attack—”


    Luo Xi narrowed his eyes.


    A memory that had existed only in written descriptions suddenly surged into his mind.


    This man, he had seen him before.


    He was the unscrupulous guard at the gates of Winter City who had robbed him of two silver coins and a heap of copper coins, and who had almost taken his life.


    Thus, Luo Xi did not hesitate to throw another punch.


    The sound of metallic mechanisms rubbing and the roar of the fist tearing through the air almost coincided in one instant!


    The guard’s eyes widened as he was directly hit by the punch and sent flying, this time knocking back several of his teammates with him and finally crashing heavily into the snow.


    No one expected that under the full assembly of the City Guard stationed here, the controller within the power armor would dare to strike once more.


    The guard captain leading this City Guard troop finally appeared, raising his spear and bellowing, “Seize this rebel! Dead or alive doesn’t matter!”


    Luo Xi revealed a pleased smile.


    This was more like it.


    It really felt like he was playing a virtual reality game now.


    [Would you like to draw the eight-forged steel machete?]


    [Yes]


    A flash of white light passed, and in the hand of the armor appeared a large machete; however, compared to the armor’s massive frame, the machete actually seemed somewhat small.


    With a casual swing of the blade, he pushed back the encroaching guards and Luo Xi looked up at the guard captain issuing commands.


    To catch the bandits, first catch their head!


    Stepping forward with the armor, like a dump truck, he sent everyone blocking his path flying, took several skillful ice lance attacks head-on, and charged fiercely toward that person.


    And then, he swung down with his blade!


    Bang! Sёar?h the N??elFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But this blow missed its mark.


    The guard captain’s figure was ghostly, his lips revealing a scornful smile, suddenly moving to the side of the armor.
