Bucciarati found himself in a dire situation.
At this moment, the dark barrel of a gun was aimed steadily at his chest and abdomen, and Lee Sin’s finger had already squeezed the trigger.
His greatest reliance, Sticky Fingers, was momentarily unable to pull back and protect him due to the overzealous beating it had given Lee Sin.
Bucciarati, this powerful man who had survived countless battles in his long career in the underworld, seemed to be on the verge of defeat.
However…
“What a brilliant strategy,” Bucciarati sighed, a calm and appreciative tone escaping him even as the crisp click of the gun’s mechanism echoed.
“If I hadn’t made some preparations before the battle…”
“I probably would have lost.”
Saying this, he suddenly raised his arm and tore open his already deep V-neck shirt.
Of course, Bucciarati wasn’t trying to blind Lee Sin with his chest muscles.
He had another purpose…
“A zipper?!” Lee Sin’s smile instantly froze. “He had already installed zippers on his own body!”
“Indeed.”
“To prevent being hit directly by your ‘tracking light sphere,’ I had pre-installed zippers on several key areas of my body.”
“Though, I didn’t expect…”
“They would come in handy this way.”
The gun’s flash had already ignited, the explosive sound waves reverberating in all directions.
But before the gunshot echoed, Bucciarati had already firmly grasped the zipper installed on his chest.
As the gun fired and the bullet was discharged, Bucciarati swiftly pulled open the zipper from his right shoulder to his left abdomen, creating a large gash across his chest and abdomen.
Whoosh!
The bullet whizzed past.
Instead of hitting Bucciarati’s abdomen as Lee Sin had hoped, it narrowly passed through the gash opened by the zipper.
Thus, Lee Sin’s counterattack was completely nullified.
“ARI ARI ARI ARI!”
Sticky Fingers’ roar sounded again.
This time, instead of pounding Lee Sin’s chest, it swiftly withdrew and precisely struck Lee Sin’s gun-wielding right arm.
Lee Sin didn’t even have time to fire a second shot. His right arm, which had barely reached the right position, was punched away by Sticky Fingers—
Literally punched away.
As Sticky Fingers punched and opened the zipper on Lee Sin’s arm, it also fully unzipped the already partially opened zipper.
Lee Sin’s right arm, like a detachable hood on a down jacket, completely separated from his body once the zipper was fully opened.
In the end, Lee Sin became a one-armed man.
His right arm, now detached, was flung several meters into the air by Sticky Fingers’ overwhelming force.
When it finally landed, it hung limply from a roadside tree.
“……”
Lee Sin’s expression was as if he had eaten something foul.
Anyone would feel terrible seeing their own hand hanging from a tree like a discarded feather shuttlecock.
“A single disabled hand could turn the tide. What a terrifying opponent.”
“Now… I can only remove your hand entirely.”
After completely destroying Lee Sin’s ability to counterattack, Bucciarati finally let out a long sigh of relief.
He looked at Lee Sin, his eyes full of respect:
“As an enemy, you have earned my complete recognition.”
“Unfortunately, as a comrade, you haven’t yet proven yourself worthy of my trust to follow you into ‘hell.'”
“So…”
“I’m sorry, but I still have to kill you.”
With that, Sticky Fingers attacked again.
Lee Sin, using his agile footwork, desperately tried to escape, but he couldn’t match Sticky Fingers’ incredible speed.
Before he could fully escape Sticky Fingers’ two-meter range, its punch landed on his left arm.
Bucciarati seemed to have learned from his near-death experience earlier and didn’t rush to kill Lee Sin. Instead, he focused on disabling Lee Sin’s limbs.
Thus, Lee Sin’s left arm was also severed.
Like his right arm, the left arm was detached from his torso, lying useless on the ground.
“Damn it…”
“Is this really the way I’m going to die? What a miserable end…”
Lee Sin’s face was filled with bitterness.
“Apologies.”
“I usually only use such cruel methods when I’m extremely angry.”
Bucciarati said honestly:
“But this time is different… This time, I’m doing it out of caution.”
“This is the highest respect I can show you as an enemy.”
“Respect?”
“This kind of respect is the last thing I want!”
Lee Sin shouted in frustration and continued to flee.
But it was clearly a futile struggle.
Bucciarati quickly caught up with him, and Sticky Fingers unleashed another barrage of punches:
“ARI ARI ARI ARI!”
This time, Lee Sin’s left leg was also removed.
Yet, he still didn’t give up resisting.
With his remaining leg, he desperately hopped forward another meter or two.
Unfortunately, this was no different from a pig in a slaughterhouse struggling to escape. It only brought more suffering before death.
Bucciarati quickly caught up with him.
Lee Sin finally lost control of his body’s balance, and Sticky Fingers’ punch knocked him to the ground.
With only one leg left, he couldn’t move anymore.
His health bar, displayed above his head, had dropped from full to a precarious 10% under Sticky Fingers’ relentless assault.
“You can no longer move.”
“And…”
Bucciarati looked at the nearly empty health bar above Lee Sin’s head:
“Your ‘life force’ is also running low.”
“When this red bar reaches zero, you should die, right?”
With that, Sticky Fingers slowly approached Lee Sin.
It raised its blue, silver-armored fist, gathering immense power.
“Haha.”
“Will I die? I haven’t experienced it before.”
“Where I will respawn after you deplete my health bar is also uncertain.”
Lee Sin lay on the ground, unable to move, but he still managed to give Bucciarati a defiant smile.
But Bucciarati felt a sense of relief:
Based on the earlier fight, Lee Sin was a true warrior.
If he had shown a frightened, pleading expression before death, Bucciarati would have found it suspicious.
However…
What shocked Bucciarati was…
Lee Sin’s defiant smile before death not only persisted but grew even stronger—
He was laughing hysterically:
“Hahahahahaha…”
“Bucciarati, let me tell you a little secret!”
“You might not know this, but I actually have an ability that lets me instantly return to my teammates, and the range is incredibly far.”
“What?”
Bucciarati’s pupils shrank.
He wasn’t shocked by Lee Sin having another movement ability but rather by the implication:
“You had such an escape ability, why didn’t you use it earlier?!”
“Yeah…”
“With such a convenient escape ability, why didn’t I use it before getting crippled?”
“That’s because…”
“I didn’t need to run at all!”
Lee Sin’s eyes widened, a brilliant light shining in his eyes:
“Whether it’s the Stand users I’ve faced today or the players I’ve encountered before…”
“You guys will never understand…”
“To a qualified Lee Sin player, his health bar is like Ultraman’s timer on his chest—”
“When the timer turns red, it doesn’t indicate Ultraman’s transformation time is running out. Instead, it signifies…”
“The monster is about to die!”
