Trapped in a gacha game, I will steal all the heroines.

Chapter 34 End Of The Party



"This was what I was planning" I said.

A fight with Fiona would be suicide at this point in the story, even though I'm at least ten times stronger than the original protagonist. There would be no way to defeat her in this part, because even if you have a character at level one hundred, with all stats maxed out, you wouldn't dare face a level two hundred boss.

Therefore, the only way to confront Fiona would be to not engage her directly, but rather to draw attention with a burst of power, provoke her a little more, and ultimately weaken her.

I tightened my grip around Fiona's neck, finally giving in and piercing her skin superficially, allowing the golden energy to fully inject into her body, meeting the remnants of golden energy that had accumulated within her from all the attacks.

The impact was so immense that Fiona's eyes rolled back for a few seconds, and her heart stopped beating.

"Now I understand, you really need to be eliminated" said Fiona before losing all strength in her body.

Fiona smiled and fell to her knees on the ground. Her heart slowly began to beat again, but due to the memory of what had occurred, her heart rate accelerated greatly. If she were a normal person, her death would be caused by a heart attack.

With her body still trembling and an expression of great joy for someone who admitted defeat, Fiona attempted to laugh but couldn't.

I looked at my arm, watching the layer of ice gradually dissipate, and let out a relieved sigh as I sat on the ground.

"Just barely, too close for comfort. My body still aches" I thought, observing Fiona rise to her feet.

"You know they will all truly hunt you now, don't you?"

"And aren't they already? Or did you think I didn't know you were already coming."

Both of us spoke with difficulty. In my case, I couldn't continue my recovery as using more golden energy would only drain me further and not aid in my recuperation. I didn't want to reach the point where I removed pure Krintoin energy from Amanda's body.

"I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about the fact that you tarnished the group's reputation in the worst way possible."

Fiona approached me, holding my left hand. She removed the gauntlet and kissed the back of my hand.

"And yes, you subjugated one of the five among the fifteen."

"Let them all come, I'll do the same to each one of them."

"Stop lying. Your plan is a one-time use and carries great risk. That's why I accepted it, but I didn't expect you to actually withstand the Ice Lotus."

I placed my hand on my face, contemplating what I had done and feeling a hint of shame.

"So, in the end, you just wanted to play with someone weaker?"

"At first, I was truly fascinated by your presence when we made the bet, but after that, I only saw weaknesses. I soon realized your entire plan" Fiona said, placing her finger on her neck, creating a collar of ice, and speaking in a sad tone while smiling.

"But in the end, I was the fool. The worst part is that I can't even kill you now, as I can no longer go back. This was my selfish request to clear our name, but I ended up staining it even more."

"That doesn't make sense. Why would they abandon you..." Before I could finish speaking, I realized my thoughts had been too loud.

"Exactly, they are idiots, but whenever I saw the other fourteen, I felt something strange about all of them."

With that remark, I remembered that Fiona wasn't part of the original fifteen in the game's storyline. She only managed to join by killing number fifteen, the vampire who was supposed to be immortal but wasn't.

"I think I understand now. They are all expendable. I can't believe I didn't think of this before."

I pointed my finger at Fiona.

"How is the numbering among the fifteen determined?"

"Oh, that's an interesting question. As you can imagine, it's not based on strength but rather on contribution. In the end, we didn't know exactly how strong each of us was. We only had a general idea, considering each one's achievements."

I stood up, brushing off my torn clothes.

"Dantalian, I have something to ask of you."

"I don't do anything that's not part of my plans."

Fiona placed her hand on the ice collar and looked directly at me.

"That's something I expected from you, but what I want to ask has nothing to do with me. It's something you need to do, so can we say our goodbyes for now?"

"The plan was only to prevent chaos, and that was a success. Being with her or letting her go, both have high chances of ending with a death flag. The difference lies in when that will happen" I thought, quickly surveying the surroundings.

"No problem, let's meet near Duchess Marian's house."

Fiona held my hand, now without the gauntlet, and placed it on her face.

"Before we part, could you do that one more time, Dantalian?"

"You know it will hurt you for real, right?"

"Of course I know, that's why I'm asking."

Fiona closed her eyes and simply awaited the shock on her skin once again, feeling a numbing sensation travel from her face to her back.

"The decision has been made. I'll see you at the Duchess's house."

Fiona turned around, and before she disappeared completely, she spoke over her shoulder:

"I have a feeling you'll be excited to see what I'm about to get."

After saying that, Fiona attempted to leap away but quickly realized she didn't have enough strength. She began walking northward.

After making sure that Fiona had left without letting her guard down, I started heading back towards the city, hoping that the mobs would be as weak as they were in the game. Any Free-to-play player could give them a couple of hits and they would die.

At this very moment, in the city, all the adventurers ranked purple and above, including Freytan, who would be several times stronger than he should be, and Amanda, massacred the hooded figures. Unfortunately, there were victims, and some small shops suffered losses both in terms of employees and their establishments. However, considering what was happening in the game, the only losses were human lives.

"Amanda, are you okay?" Freytan spoke a few meters away from Amanda, who was now sitting with no arrows left, gazing at the hundreds of dead bodies of the hooded figures.

"I'm fine, just a little tired and thinking about what to do when the master returns because he will suffer at my hands."

"Hahaha, this punishment seems more like a reward."
