The air conditioner monster exploded with a muffled noise and fire burst out, roaring towards Leinster's face.
Leinster pulled out the chair and calmly shielded his head with the chair.
Shards of metals and small parts rained down the chair, the tongue of flame licked the chair and ashes scattered down, some lightly brushing past Leinster's forehead.
The heat of the flame was so close, bullets of sweat formed on Leinster's face, but the man had a peaceful smile on his face, as if watching a show.
The crackling noises and sounds of things hitting the floor continued for a few seconds until all noises ceased to exist.
DING! [Congratulations, you have killed a monster!]
[Ruin clearance progress: (5/5)]
DING! DING! DING! DING!
[Brave challenger, you may leave the ruin~]
A door appeared on the previously smooth wall that only had a window.
Clearly, it was the way out of the ruin.
[00:00:50]
Leinster arms that were holding up the chair above his head immediately fell to his side limply and the chair plunged to the ground with a loud noise.
Crash!
"Ahhh....that was fun."
Leinster jumped down the table lightly as he pushed back his hair.
His crimson eyes gleamed with pride as he peeked at the comment section, secretly waiting to see the damned lambs' reactions.
See? See? He's still alive!
The audiences who thought that Leinster couldn't possibly kill another monster in less than a minute had collectively dropped their keyboards and phones.
Silence swept the comment section before a few familiar audiences sprung out.
[Sealed Demon King:
Huh? Huh? He won? He cleared the ruin?]
[Detective Conman:
11 minutes— no, exactly 10 minutes and 10 seconds. Will this ruin clearance speed break the existing record?]
[Ah! I should've sent him a Life Vote...]
The audiences grumbled but a certain number one hater was quiet.
A few other audiences were also quiet, stirring a certain unease in Leinster's heart.
Hmph. These people are just cowardly turtles, not even daring to bubble up when he beat their expectations to dust.
Dismissing the strange unease in his heart, Leinster walked towards the door briskly with both hands in his trousers' pockets.
"Lalala~ roasted monster~ the ice is melting~ "
The happy alien casually took a shard of the air conditioner monster on the floor and bit into it, only to almost shatter his teeth.
"Pah! Pah! Yuck!!"
What kind of weak teeth are these?
Can't even bite into burned metals!
Aggrieved, the alien tossed the shard away and soon, he was already right in front of the unremarkable wooden door.
Leinster had a feeling that the door was usually steel or metal, but hey, who cares?
[00:00:40]
Leinster's whole body was relaxed as he stretched his hand towards the door's knob, about to turn it around—
Thump.
Leinster's heart skipped a beat.
CRACK!
The unmoving door suddenly cracked open in the middle and swallowed Leinster's entire body.
"AHH???"
Leinster screamed in shock as the wood stakes inside the door's "mouth" impaled his entire body!
With a quick reflex, just a millisecond before the gleaming tip pierced his body, Leinster curled his body and shield his head with his hands, protecting his head and heart.
Stab!
The wood stakes drove deep into his flesh and a huge, crushing force pressed down, wanting to flatten him to pieces.
"Ughhh...uh..."
Blood gushed out like a waterfall and Leinster's vision was dotted with black spots.
His entire body ached and it felt as if he was chopped to pieces, but Leinster gritted his teeth and forcefully dragged his body out!
Right behind him, the "mouth" finally closed down with a loud noise.
Crack!
Thud!
Leinster's body fell to the floor and he subconsciously rolled to the left, away from the door.
Before he could sigh in relief, his back hit the wall hard and the wall—
It moved.
A huge force sucked Leinster's entire body into the wall.
"Huh— "
Chomp.
The wall enveloped Leinster's entire back and Leinster immediately felt the familiar bone-breaking pain.
It is the damn Wall-E monster!!
Before his body could be sucked deeper, Leinster ruthlessly pried his body out and the clothes covering his back instantly shredded to pieces.
Following the tearing sound, his skin and flesh was torn open, blood gushed out like a water fountain.
"Ughh!"
Leinster groaned, almost biting his tongue as he quickly scampered away from the wall, dragging his weak legs and crawling on the floor.
Blood trailed down his path and wood stakes split into pieces fell to the ground, each soaked with blood.
Leinster's entire body turned into a hedgehog, his arms and legs were pierced deeply with wood stakes.
But strangely, none of the wooden stakes stabbed Leinster's chest or stomach, cleverly missing all the vital organs.
[00:00:30]
The series of things happened so fast that the audiences who were just about to close the livestream collectively paused in unison.
??
[What? What? What?? What's going on??]
They voiced Leinster's exact question.
Didn't he already clear the ruin?
Whatever was inside this ruin should not be able to threaten him anymore!
Leinster's number one hater and a few audiences who were hiding like "turtles" before, suddenly came out with great fare.
[Leinster Slayer:
Stupid! How can you guys forget the most important thing?? Have you guys not watched any Death League livestreams all this time?!]
The audiences were stupefied for a few seconds before someone slapped their forehead and typed on their phone frantically.
[Sealed Demon King:
Huh? Huh? Wait, wait— there's no ruin clearance notification yet! No wonder!!]
[Detective Conman:
Oh? Yeah…shouldn't the ruin clearance notification come right after this bastard killed 5 monsters? What's going on?]
[Otomen Lover:
I-is it…a new update? A new rule special for this season?]
At the mention of "update", the audience erupted into an uproar.
[Damn, cunning league!!]
[Another update?? What kind of update is it now?!]
Confusion, fear, anger, all sorts of emotions came out of the screen and Leinster captured a few new emotions.
DING! [Detecting a new emotion ••• ]
DING! [New emotion ••• ]
A few new sections and gauges with different colours appeared in Leinster's mind, but he only saw blurry images.
[00:00:20]
Seeing the countdown, only then did Leinster realize that he was tricked.
The game— isn't over yet!
