For non-melee reincarnators, the constitution attribute typically is outside their top three.
The boy hadn’t invested any points in related attributes and had a mere 50 points in health.
If he were to be focused on by attacks, even three odd giants could quickly kill him.
“Quite the summoner,” the boy gritted his teeth, converting his impending psychic energy ball into a shockwave-like form that swept around him.
The powerful energy instantly blew away the three giants ready to attack, temporarily averting his imminent death.
However…
Bang!
A sharp pain struck the boy’s chest, followed by a damage report.
【You received a bullet shot from No. 14580. Armour-piercing trait activated, ignoring 70% of defence, causing 18+8 points of piercing damage.】
One shot took nearly half of his health. Another hit would likely kill him.
In desperation, the boy disregarded sustainability, unleashing a high-power psychic shockwave.
This time, Fang Bo experienced the sensation of his head being hit by a hammer.
However, his high mental attributes and health, comparable to a tank, made him shrug off the minor damage.
Recovering in half a second, he saw the boy swallowing a special bun.
“Licker Three!”
Licker Three, the fastest of the three odd giants, dashed forward like the wind, opening its maw to swallow the boy whole.
Although repelled by an energy blast, the boy clearly had few countermeasures left.
Watching the mental-type reincarnator flee in disarray, Fang Bo realised the strengths and weaknesses of team actions.
A team could defeat enemies far stronger than themselves with multiple attributes and skills.
Everyone had their role—attack, defence, support—working together for powerful results.
However, their combat weaknesses showed once their formation was disrupted, especially against an all-rounder like Fang Bo.
With no particularly strong skills, the combination of firearms, summoning, mental power, and high health made him unexpectedly formidable.
Mental attacks were ineffective; he had too much health to be one-shot, and any lapse in attention meant getting entangled by his summons.
The bun-eating boy felt utterly frustrated, unable to predict that this guy would be a summoner.
Generally, strength/agility/constitution paths outnumbered mental types like mages, summoners, and healers.
The reason was simple: early on, everyone’s attributes were low, and they hadn’t learned powerful skills, making mental-type reincarnation output capabilities extremely lacking.
Team reincarnators fared better with teammates to support them. Loners, however, faced even tougher situations.
A sudden burst would quickly deplete them, akin to suicide in a dangerous storyline world. Everyone assumed the opponent was a gunman or a strength-type guy.
“Miscalculated.” The boy smiled wryly, pulling out a peculiar item from his imprint.
Seeing this, Fang Bo became instantly vigilant, suspecting the boy was about to use a trump card.
Instead, the small item exploded, propelling the boy hundreds of meters away, finally plunging into the sea… and escaping.
“A smart choice.” Fang Bo turned his attention, commanding the giants to rush towards the gunman.
Captain Kuro was still under pressure, constantly wary of the gunman’s ambush. Eliminating the sniper threat would surely change the battle’s dynamics.
“Failing to take down Kuro quickly means your plan is doomed.”
The gunman struggled against the interfering giants, clearly not used to such disruption.
A shot blew off Licker Three’s head, but he had no time to reload, resorting to a submachine gun to suppress the remaining two giants.
Glancing at the battlefield, Fang Bo’s eyes widened, focusing his immense mental power like a drill into the enemy’s mind.
“Argh!” Owl screamed, stumbling backward.
He tried to counterattack during his retreat, but Two’s thick belly blocked his bullets.
Bang!
Fang Bo’s shot hit the enemy’s chest, causing massive damage and putting the gunman in critical condition.
This sight caught the attention of the two reincarnators besieging Kuro, who glanced over thoughtfully.
They had two choices: abandon the siege to cover Owl’s retreat or use all their strength to kill the boss quickly.
After hesitating, Orson chose the latter, unwilling to abandon his nearly acquired reward.
Every man for himself. Blame his teammates for being too incompetent to stop a summoner.
“Randy, pin him down.”
“Leave it to me.”
With his charge skill off cooldown, Randy launched a lock-on attack, turning into a blur aiming at the boss.
Orson began charging his move, the flames on his mechanical glove intensifying.
MAX Heat Drive!
If this attack hit, Kuro’s current state might lead to his death.
Knowing the urgency, Kuro fully utilised Silent Step, disappearing and reappearing behind Fang Bo.
Intending to use him as a decoy.
“That bastard,” Fang Bo seethed but couldn’t confront Kuro now.
Two blocked Randy’s charge but couldn’t withstand the following fiery fatal attack.
If Two died, Fang Bo would be the next target. In this intense battle, his hundred health points needed to be more.
“No choice left.”
He took out his last gravy steak and used his only skill, “Heal.” His health rapidly dropped while Two’s damaged body swiftly healed.
Even Orson’s attack couldn’t finish off the giant. Combined, master and summon had over 200 health, and Fang Bo could constantly heal.
Drinking rum, Fang Bo heard Orson’s sigh as the enemy began to retreat.
The failed siege meant Sound Nest was pulling out. If they didn’t, none of them would leave today.
Activating a strange flying device, the team grabbed the extended tendrils, leaving Owl entangled with the giant.
Fang Bo seized the chance as someone attempted a rescue, firing the last armour-piercing bullet, showcasing a perfect headshot.
【You killed No. 12554, receiving a personal exclusive slaughter chest】
【You received one merit point】
Meeting Sound Nest’s hateful glares, Fang Bo mimed a throat-slitting gesture.
A defeated group, trying to intimidate with glares. They’d jump down from that strange flying machine if they had guts.
Recalling the valuable items wasted, Fang Bo felt heartache, wishing he could’ve wiped out the entire enemy team.
Of course, this was unrealistic. Without storyline forces, he wouldn’t last ten seconds against them.
Killing one was already a rare victory.
“Ah!!!” Lieutenant Commander Rippa screamed.
Without the reincarnators holding him back, he was a sitting duck to Kuro, unable to choose his death.
Buji and Sam began exerting effort into the crisis, ensuring the navy’s defeat was just a matter of time.
Fang Bo wasn’t interested, focusing on the gunman’s slaughter chest.
【You are opening No. 12554’s slaughter chest】
【You received 150 storyline points】
【You received a KOF Invitation】
【You received seven heavy armor-piercing bullets】
The storyline points were average, indicating most reincarnators didn’t “save up.”
The heavy armour-piercing bullets were great but exclusive to sniper rifles. They were too long to fit in his gun.
They’d have to be sold.
Lastly, the strange invitation.
【KOF Invitation, a special item, can forcibly initiate the “King of Fighters 2000” storyline world.】
“Wow?” Fang Bo examined the exquisite invitation and was surprised to get such a unique item.
Forcibly initiating a storyline world was something only high-ranking reincarnators could do. He never expected an invitation item.
Did this mean using it would instantly transport him to the storyline of the King of Fighters 2000?
Considering Orson’s glove and the team’s special name, they seemed rooted in the world of the King of Fighters.
If he ventured there, who knew what unpredictable risks awaited?
Compared to other storyline worlds, King of Fighters and similar combat-oriented worlds like Dragon Ball or One Punch Man focused heavily on fighting. Despite some intrigue, it boiled down to constant battles.
In King of Fighters, you defeated various teams in the tournament before facing the final boss—always this pattern.
“Not really my style.” Storing the item, he figured there was no rush. He’d go when his strength was sufficient.
For now, he anticipated the hidden mission’s rewards.
