Chapter 277 Battle for the Cape 20
"Looks like you are really mad…" Todd looked into Feng Bujue"s eyes and caught not one trace of fear in them.
"I still insist on my point of view…" Feng Bujue silently activated the Body Enhancement Spell. "Only those truly insane will willingly put on the Batsuit!"
As he finished, he punched forward. Even though with the buff from Body Enhancement Spell, his speed was still beneath Jason"s. Feng Bujue already knew that from when he was kneed in the back. Since the man"s speed was higher than his, the result of the attack would definitely be blocked or avoided. With this as the premise, Feng Bujue naturally had to do something with regards to the angle of the attack so that the enemy would have trouble evading it.
Todd had a subjective observation of Feng Bujue"s strength and speed. In terms of speed, he was slower than him. In terms of strength, the kid weighed about 120 pounds, and even if he was slightly stronger than normal, the fist would not produce a force more than two hundred pounds. Therefore, Todd decided to use a normal solution, which was to raise his arm to block. He did not expect that… players had something called "skills". And Feng Bujue"s Kyaaa! was the hardest skill to predict. There was no logic behind it because even the man himself had no idea what would appear.
The punch came forth like the wind, and with a crack, Todd"s right upper arm snapped like twig. That was not all. The residual energy pushed his broken arm toward his body, and the blast sent Todd flying. One saw this large man being blasted away like a cannon. His body snapped a fire hydrant by the street before it slammed into the wall of a roadside building.

Skill Property: Active Skill, Permanent
Skill Type: Fighting
Effect: Use the power of the elbow to unleash a powerful punch.
Exhaustion: Five hundred Stamina Points
Learning Requirement: Fighting C or General Ability C
Remark: Attack created by Balrog. Using its imposing figure and imaginably fast speed and the weight of its body, it launched this straight punch that possesses immense destructive power.
———
This skill did not have any additional elemental buffs. It merely heightened the destructive power of the punch and hit out. But sometimes, the most direct skill was the most effective one. Jason Todd lost the advantage that he had because he lacked an understanding of Feng Bujue.
Still, Todd was strong. Even though he was in much physical pain, he did not stun or faint. He immediately flipped up from the ground and, at the same time, dropped a smoke bomb from his belt.
Seeing this, Feng Bujue responded by making Goblin"s Mask appear, and he swiftly retreated. When the smoke cleared, Todd appeared on the rooftop of a nearby two story building, and a beast like growl came from underneath the mask. "I underestimated you… You are not a normal human being."
Todd had obviously taken Feng Bujue as a villain with superpowers. Of course, it was not hard to see why he came to that conclusion. It was like seeing a weak person snap a tree in half with their bare hands. What kind of conclusion would any normal person come up with?
Hearing that, Feng Bujue snickered internally, but on the surface, he remained unchanged, with a light smile hanging on his face.
"There is more that I can show you… Don"t think you can take me down simply because you are that much faster than I am." Bluffing was the man"s expertise. "I know you are a good shot, so I have to stress again, if I lose consciousness, the bomb will explode. If you are considering shooting me in the head, you have to be prepared… The people within several blocks, including you, will be going down with me.
"And if you plan to apprehend me in close combat, then I advise you consider the wound on your arm. Just how many attacks like the one before will your body be able to suffer?"
Todd was not privy to the fact that Feng Bujue"s skill had a ten-minute cooldown. Hearing this apparent taunt but realizing that it was actual a.n.a.lysis, Todd felt helpless. It seemed like this was a character he could not deal with alone. The more rational thing to do now was to retreat temporarily. At least for now, he had to deal with the arm injury. But the problem was that Todd was mentally unstable. His understanding of justice was more like the Punisher from the Marvel universe; they were more like vigilantes. They hated evil with such a pa.s.sion that they often crossed the line.
The pain brought from the broken bone shot through Todd like adrenaline, and it turned up the bloodl.u.s.t in him as he attempted to take the threat down.
"Well said… In that case, I will break all of your limbs so that you can"t escape and can"t detonate the bomb." Todd raised the gun in his left arm and aimed from above. "Don"t worry, I won"t let you go unconscious from blood loss. Before you faint, I"ll inject you with adrenaline and morphine."
Feng Bujue screamed internally with alert. This fella did not fell for his trick, and the man had complete confidence, giving no consideration for the consequences if he missed.
"****" Feng Bujue cursed and ran toward his car. He jogged for a few steps, and something came to him. His brain dulled, and the process of a.n.a.lysis flashed across his mind as the conclusion burst forth. There was another player nearby!
To prove this prediction, he tried to curse again, and he was once again silenced by the system.
"Misery does love company," Feng Bujue grumbled and took out Mad Moxxi"s Bad Temper and unloaded a sweeping fire at Todd"s location. Naturally, Todd was not hit. What was a superhero? For superheroes, they only needed to roll in the sea of bullets, and they would be invincible. At most, they would suffer some scratches.
Feng Bujue did not expect the attack to cause any actual damage, he was just buying them. At the bonnet of the car, there was Mr. Freeze"s armor. With that on, bullets were nothing, but he needed at least eight seconds to crawl into the heavy set of armor.
———
Name: Cold-blooded Armor
Type: Armor
Quality: Perfect
Defense Point: Extremely High
Property: Reflect, Isolation
Special Effect: Immune to normal bullets and greatly reduces the damage from special bullets and heavy weapons. The internal temperature can be freely adjusted, and it comes with an internal air filtration system.
Equip Requirement: Male player and must be strong enough to move inside the armor.
Can be taken out of the scenario: No
Remark: When Mr. Freeze puts on the armor, his defensive ability is exceptional but so are his weaknesses. One, it is too heavy, and only someone strong enough can wear it as it exhausts the body greatly during movement. Two, it needs to be charged before usage, and the charging time is three to six hours. Three, the temperature inside the armor is zero to ten degrees, so a normal person might suffer from damage due to the overly low temperature if worn for too long.

Actually, there were two extra problems not written in the remark. First, even though this equipment was categorized as "armor", it was actually more like a "vehicle" and couldn"t could not be placed inside the inventory. Therefore, Feng Bujue had to lug it around with the car. Secondly, wearing and removing it would take some time.
And in this battle where there was not even time to take a breath, whether or not he could put on the armor became the crucial element.
