In the Ordinary Streets of Tokyo, I Awakened as a Player

Chapter 291: War Between Different Worlds

Chapter 291: War Between Different Worlds

The Black Watch Player serving as the Blackwatch Commander stared at Asagiri, his expression turning extremely grim.

He had never imagined that the Dungeon his team entered would be in the very world where "Shadow" and his companions lived.

In previous encounters, even when several elite Black Watch teams had surrounded Shadow, he had still escaped unharmed. More than that, he had turned the situation around and slaughtered every Black Watch member sent after him.

And this time, they were on the enemy’s home ground.

The game rules did not allow them to carry any equipment or items that had not been certified by the system. In other words, the Black Watch Players currently inside the Dungeon did not have their usual gear or firearms.

However, aside from their powerful combat ability and discipline, the Black Watch members possessed another defining trait.

Their willpower was terrifyingly strong, almost as if they had been brainwashed.

Even in such a desperate situation, not one of them showed any intention of giving up.

"Attack!"

At the Blackwatch Commander’s order, most of the Black Watch members launched an assault toward Kaguya Shinomiya and the others.

One member pulled something resembling a compound bow from his inventory and shot an arrow wrapped in flames at Hayasaka Ai, who looked the most vulnerable.

"Lionheart Shield!"

Before the arrow could reach its target, the long sword in Kaguya Shinomiya’s hand transformed into a wide shield. She angled it and deflected the arrow, dispersing the force to the side.

Even so, her body was still pushed back several steps.

In game terms, she had failed to completely withstand the arrow’s power and had suffered recoil.

"IBM."

Seeing Kaguya Shinomiya’s reaction after blocking that arrow, Iwanaga Kotoko immediately realized that these Black Watch members were capable Players. They must have registered during the second stage and cleared several Dungeons, perhaps even earning plenty of extra points and rewards.

After realizing the opponent’s strength, she immediately created two black humanoid IBMs.

Just as she was about to create a third, a sword tip flashing with cold light had already approached her forehead.

Facing the incoming blade, Iwanaga Kotoko seemed completely unaware. She simply continued controlling the formation of the IBMs.

"Clang!"

At the critical moment, a deep red shadow flashed past.

Yuuki Asuna directly parried the Black Watch member’s long sword, then moved at a speed the opponent could not react to and pierced his forehead with Gleaming Light.

As Yuuki Asuna arrived, a compound bow appeared in Hayasaka Ai’s hand.

Its appearance was shockingly identical to the weapon held by the Black Watch member in the distance. She drew an arrow with the same motion and fired instantly.

Even the arrow she shot was wrapped in flames.

While the Black Watch Players fought Yuuki Asuna and the others, the man serving as the Commander of this Player squad walked step by step toward Asagiri.

His body was covered in a layer of metal armor. Arcs of electric light flashed constantly across his surface. Even his eyes shone with lightning.

His body suddenly expanded as well, growing from his original height of around one hundred seventy centimeters to over one hundred ninety centimeters, making him half a head taller than Asagiri.

"Shadow!"

Facing the Blackwatch Commander’s incoming punch, Asagiri dodged slightly to the side. He felt the sting of the electricity crawling over the opponent’s body and the fierce wind pressure accompanying the punch. Then he raised his knee and smashed it heavily into the Commander’s abdomen.

With Asagiri’s current strength, if a normal person took such a blow, their internal organs would rupture instantly and their body would fly backward.

However, the Blackwatch Commander only retreated half a step before swinging his fist down again.

"Bang!"

Asagiri’s left fist, clad in a black glove, collided with the Commander’s right fist.

The impact of their terrifying strength cracked the platform beneath their feet.

"Hmm? A little interesting."

Seeing the Blackwatch Commander retreat several steps before stabilizing himself, Asagiri spoke with interest.

"You tried to compare strength with me directly, but your arm didn’t break on the spot? You really do have some skill."

Meanwhile, the Blackwatch Commander opposite him clutched his numb, senseless arm and stared at Asagiri, who stood there as if nothing had happened. Disbelief filled his face.

How could this be?

He was one of the Black Watch’s most skilled close combat members.

After becoming a Player, he had specialized in a combat class that enhanced his body through elemental power. He had also gained an exclusive talent that increased all his physical attributes by another twenty percent when fighting barehanded.

Most importantly, he had undergone the Tank Virus modification, specifically strengthening his physical defense and raw power.

With so many layers of enhancement, he had still lost in a direct confrontation with Shadow.

Although he had only been slightly inferior, a loss was still a loss.

"Still spacing out?"

Just as the Blackwatch Commander was lost in thought, Asagiri spoke lightly.

"If you keep reminiscing, your team members are going to be killed."

"What!?"

The Blackwatch Commander instinctively turned his head, only to find that things were not as Asagiri had said.

Although his subordinates were at a disadvantage, they were still barely holding on. Apart from the three members killed at the beginning by Cold Frost Spear and God Gun, as well as the member whose forehead had been pierced by Yuuki Asuna, no one else had fallen yet.

"Not good..."

The Commander reacted immediately and hurriedly retreated.

His reaction was fast, but that brief distraction was already enough for Asagiri.

The sharp Rope Dart grazed the Commander’s neck, carving open a gruesome wound around two centimeters deep.

"Cough, cough..."

The Blackwatch Commander spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately raised his left hand to cover the wound on his neck. His eyes, fixed on Asagiri, were filled with anger, as if accusing him of using such a despicable method to distract him.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."

Accompanied by the sound of crackling electricity, the wound on the Blackwatch Commander’s neck gradually healed.

Aside from the blood staining his hand, it was as if he had never been injured at all.

Seeing this, Asagiri roughly formed a judgment in his mind.

This Commander’s strength was slightly lower than his own. His speed and reflexes were comparable. As for physical defense and self recovery, he was superior.

"Very good."

After realizing that this Blackwatch Commander was not a weakling he could easily eliminate, excitement appeared in Asagiri’s eyes instead.

He tightened his grip on the Rope Dart and slowly spoke while staring straight at the opponent’s face.

"Right here, let’s decide life and death."

"Couldn’t ask for more!"

The Commander replied in a deep voice.

The lightning around his body became even more dazzling.

Then, in the next second, with movements completely imperceptible to the naked eye of an ordinary person, he appeared directly in front of Asagiri.

"Thunderous Fist!"

"Boom!"

Asagiri raised his right arm, wrapped in the Rope Dart’s chain, to block.

But even with the chain serving as the first layer of defense, he still felt a sharp pain.

Under such a violent strike, the bones in his arm had been damaged. It was likely fractured.

"Persona, Human Asura."

Asagiri’s gaze did not waver because of the sudden pain.

During his training with Ashikaga Miwa, he had long since become accustomed to pain. He had also mastered the ability to completely ignore it in battle and prevent his combat state from being affected.

"Here it comes..."

Feeling a sudden, bone-chilling sense of danger behind him, the Commander showed no panic. He simply dodged to the side as quickly as possible.

In the next instant, a pitch-black fist smashed heavily into the left arm he had raised to protect his body.

"Bang!"

The Commander’s body flew sideways and crashed directly into a nearby platform pillar.

Under the terrifying impact, the solid pillar collapsed instantly, sending fragments of rubble flying everywhere. Even the windows of the train parked nearby shook violently, spreading dense cracks across their surfaces.

Seeing Asagiri gain the advantage, a Black Watch Player not far away immediately raised his hand and pointed at him from a distance, chanting.

"Binding Spell Number One..."

"Stinger!"

After experiencing so many Dungeons, Yuuki Asuna’s combat experience had become extremely rich.

The moment she saw that Black Watch Player raise his hand and point at Asagiri, the tip of Gleaming Light erupted with a ray of sword light and thrust toward the opponent’s forehead.

"Shield."

Before Stinger arrived, a spiritual power shield appeared in the hand of another Black Watch Player, directly blocking Yuuki Asuna’s attack for his teammate.

"So troublesome..."

Seeing Asagiri and Human Asura begin fighting the Blackwatch Commander again, Yuuki Asuna withdrew her attention from that side.

Looking at the Black Watch members engaging them in an organized formation, she could not help but grit her teeth.

These Black Watch Players possessed high physical and mental strength. As Players, they also possessed various abilities.

Although their raw stats were still inferior to Yuuki Asuna, Iwanaga Kotoko, and Kato Megumi, they had a crucial advantage over Yuuki Asuna and the others.

Combat experience.

In previous battles, Asagiri’s four person team had faced ordinary Black Watch members. With their overwhelming stats, the enemy had no ability to fight back at all.

This time, the four of them still had higher stats, but not to the point where absolute power could crush everything. Once the battle fell into a stalemate, the advantage of these battle hardened Black Watch members became obvious.

Their combat experience was rich, and their judgment of the battlefield was frighteningly accurate.

However, this was not the situation the Blackwatch Commander wanted to see.

Do not forget, this was ultimately Shadow’s world.

Not the world controlled by the Black Watch.

Continuing this stalemate was meaningless.

Once the other Players of this world, or the official forces, arrived...

They would all die here.

Not a single one would escape.
