Chapter 24: You've Missed Your Last Chance to Survive!
With a ferocious smile, Flanders slowly squatted down next to the team member. He stretched out his free hand and gently scratched the team member's face.
With each scratch, a deep scar that revealed the bones underneath appeared on the team member's face.
The team member let out an extremely shrill scream.
The shrill scream filled the buzz-cut man's ears. Then, it seemed to have turned into a series of accusations.
"Why didn't you come to save me?
"Why did you just watch me suffer?
"You're such a cold-blooded and heartless person.
"I was wrong about you!"
Finally, Flanders seemed to have lost his patience.
He slowly retracted his finger and wagged it a few times in the air as if he was having fun. Then, he grabbed the member's arm.
The member looked at the straw palm in horror. His trembling lips kept repeating, "No, please, no, no."
[Fear points: +1,500.]
The more he felt afraid, the more excited Flanders became.
There was a hint of ruthlessness in Flanders's expression as he twisted his right hand forcefully.
Then, the member let out a heart-wrenching scream.
His arm was twisted into an exaggerated and twisted posture.
Finally, the buzz-cut man could not hold it in any longer.
He could not stand meeting the despair in the eyes of his teammate.
The team member was not dead yet, so he could not use that move.
However, even if he was not confident, he had to go.
There were no words and no other omens.
The buzz-cut man had made up his mind and his entire temperament had undergone an earth-shattering change.
He charged at the scarecrow with all his might.
This move was the simplest, yet the most effective.
Infusing magic into his muscles would allow his physical strength to be strengthened to its maximum.
Although he was not completely certain this attack would succeed, he had no choice but to try it.
As long as he could land this punch, his head would definitely explode!
In the blink of an eye, the buzz-cut man's fist had already reached Flanders's face.
The punch landed squarely on Flanders's face.
He was delighted. He succeeded!
However, a satisfied smile appeared on Flanders's face.
Boom!
A loud sound was heard coming from behind the leader.
The leader's expression changed drastically as he turned around in disbelief.
More than a thousand meters away, a bloody mist floated in the air.
On the ground was a headless corpse with a broken arm.
The buzz-cut man looked at the lifeless Lucius on the ground in disbelief. His mind was in a mess.
He was so anxious to save his teammate, he forgot that the scarecrow could deflect the damage.
It was his negligence as the team leader that caused Lucius's death!
At this moment, a cracking sound came from behind him.
The buzz-cut man's heart shook as he turned his head again.
At this moment, he saw his teammate, who was just crying out to him for help, looking at him with unfocused eyes.
His neck had been completely twisted by 360-degrees.
Twisted in a full circle like a fried dough twist.
At the same time, he could see the scarecrow's joyful smile.
"Why?" The buzz-cut man's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the scarecrow.
Flanders relaxed his hand and let the twisted corpse fall to the ground. He chuckled.
"Why what?"
"Why didn't you attack me when I turned around just now?
"Why did you kill them? You knew they no longer had the ability to fight."
The smile on the scarecrow's face grew wider as if it had heard a particularly funny joke. It narrowed its eyes and looked at the buzz-cut man.
"If you have to ask why I killed them, it's because it was interesting."
Because it was interesting?
The buzz-cut man's eyes seemed to spew fire.
Just because it was interesting, this strange creature had killed all the members of his team.
This was no longer something a mere strange creature could do.
He was simply a demon.
Looking at the scarecrow in front of him who was wearing a teasing smile, the buzz cut's expression suddenly changed. He actually smiled.
Looking at the buzz-cut man's smiling face, Flanders also asked with great interest, "What are you laughing at?"
The buzz-cut man stopped laughing and just stood face-to-face with the scarecrow.
"I laughed at Lucius when he said you had high intelligence, but now it seems that you're just so-so.
"You could've used him as a hostage to threaten me, but you chose to kill him.
"However, thanks to you.
"I no longer have to restrain myself."
A loud shout came from the buzz-cut man's mouth.
Then, a surprising scene appeared.
The buzz-cut man's body began to gradually grow larger.
It was not just muscle growth.
His entire body was growing larger.
The muscular man, who was originally about 1.85 meters tall, had now grown to 2.5 meters in a single breath.
Not only that, he was still growing larger.
The buzz-cut man's forehead was already bulging with veins. He looked at the scarecrow and said, word by word, "Now's your only chance to launch a sneak attack. Aren't you going to attack?"
Flanders's eyes narrowed into crescents. He looked at the buzz-cut man with a smile and said, "What's the point?"
During the time it took for these two sentences to be uttered, the buzz-cut man had grown to a height of 5.6 meters.
Not only his height, his entire body had grown several times larger.
After the transformation, the buzz-cut man lowered his head and looked at the scarecrow by his feet.
The scarecrow at this moment was probably only as tall as his knees.
"Scarecrow, you've missed your last chance to survive.
"Do you know why I never used this move?
"Because it's very easy to accidentally kill a teammate."
At this moment, the buzz-cut man looked as if victory was within his grasp.
If the scarecrow had ambushed him just now, he truly would not have been able to stop it.
That was why he had warned him, to prevent the scarecrow from acting rashly.
However, he was wrong about one thing.
It was not that Flanders would not act rashly.
It was that the payoff would be lower.
Compared to being ambushed and defeated before using his full strength, being defeated by the scarecrow after using his full strength scared the buzz-cut man even more.
From the beginning to the end, there was only one rule that determined Flanders's behavior—that was how to obtain more fear points.
At this time, the buzz-cut man had completed his transformation. Flanders stretched lazily and looked up at him.
"You've completed your transformation, right? Now it's my turn to change."
The buzz-cut man's eyes narrowed when he heard that, and he looked nervously at the scarecrow.
Could he also grow bigger?!
The buzz-cut man had already made up his mind. If this strange creature could really become bigger, he would definitely take this opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
His teammates had all died by his hand. There was no need to talk about fairness with him.
Victory was the most important thing!
However, just as the buzz-cut man was making up his mind...
Flanders activated his skill.
Devil Conqueror!
In an instant, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds.
A bolt of lightning flashed from within the dark clouds, striking Flanders.
In an instant, Flanders started to grow at an extremely shocking speed.
In almost a breath's time, he had already surpassed the buzz-cut man's height.
The buzz-cut man had only just reacted and was prepared to launch a sneak attack.
However, Flanders had already completed his transformation.
It only took him half a second before he was 13 meters tall.
Looking at the stunned buzz-cut man in front of him, Flanders bent down and faced the buzz-cut man.
"You've missed your last chance to survive."
