Reborn into A Slash Game Chapter 53 - The Crybaby Fatty Fireball

Chapter 53 - The Crybaby Fatty Fireball

The fatty fireball wildly dashed over, giving Suo Fei a fright. This oaf was too big and its body was covered with flames. Even if he didn’t get burned, it would still be terribly hot.

Samael responded quickly, swiftly moving Suo Fei to another corner.

The fatty fireball pounced onto nothing but air. It blinked its big eyes and still didn’t see anyone so it turned around. When his gaze locked onto Samael and Suo Fei once again, it cried more aggrievedly and ran over.

Where did this grievance come from?

Samael and Suo Fei finally discovered that something was not right. According to reason, it should go berserk after its master’s death. How did it become a fool all of a sudden?

Wait, could it have been forcibly suppressed?

Samael didn’t dodge again. He only activated the Asura Blade and pointed his sword at the fatty fireball.

The petrified fatty fireball stopped immediately, staring at the Asura Blade with fear in its big eyes.

It didn’t retreat backwards, but it also didn’t dare to move forward. It merely stood on its spot, miserably staring at them with its sparkling big eyes.

Suo Fei quietly asked Samael, “What’s wrong with him?”

Before Samael could reply, the fatty fireball’s voice boomed across the room, “Wu wu wu, so scared.”

Suo Fei was mortified. This oaf could actually speak! It’s actually fluent in Yalance’s common language!

Since it could speak, Suo Fei decided to communicate with it, “Why are you afraid? Obviously, it was you who first attacked us!”

As the oaf was too tall, Suo Fei subconsciously raised his voice, causing the fatty fireball to tremble in fear. Then, like a spineless wife, it said, “Y-you’re so fierce…”

Suo Fei: Somebody please save my delicate eyes!

Then, an even more eye-damaging scene appeared. The d.a.m.ned fatty fireball’s whimpers actually turned to loud wailing. It’s not a thunderstorm. It’s only the downpour of tears from its big eyes.

However, its tears were rather peculiar: it was flaming red. This is obviously lava! It’s simply like forcing a volcanic eruption!

Suo Fei hurriedly consoled him, “Hey, don’t cry.”

It cried even louder.

Suo Fei was terrified and quickly spoke in a hushed tone, “There, there. Don’t cry, don’t cry. I’m not fierce. I was just afraid you wouldn’t hear me.”

The flow of lava became lighter. The fatty fireball spoke between sobs, “I’m not deaf.”

Suo Fei: Indeed, you aren’t. You’re just a cry-baby, that’s all.

Suo Fei cleared his throat and diverted the topic in a gentle tone, “Do you know where we are?”

Seeing Suo Fei’s pleasant att.i.tude, the fatty fireball’s lava stopped flowing, recollecting itself extraordinarily fast. It shook its big head and said, “I don’t know where this is… When I woke up, I’m already in this place.”

When it said that, it silently glanced at Samael and grievedly complained, “I saw both of you when I woke up and you.. You.. wanted to hit me.”

Why on earth does it feel like we’re coaxing a kid? Kid, you’re ten metres tall. Can you not make that face? You’re losing your imposing air, alright!

Suo Fei patiently conversed with the fatty fireball and understood the situation after quite a while.

Most probably, this fellow had been forcibly sealed by the primeval demon from before. It had lost its control over its mind. As for how long it had been in that state, the fatty fireball itself didn’t know, so it was even more unlikely for Suo Fei to know.

It wasn’t until the primeval demon was hacked to death by Samael that the fatty fireball regained its consciousness. It was frightened of the unfamiliar place so when it saw the two of them after much difficulty, it sobbingly ran over to ask for help.

When the fatty fireball finished speaking, it warily looked at them and even more warily spoke, “I want to go home. Can you take me home?”

Suo Fei wanted to say ‘who knows where your home is’, Samael directly accepted his request, “Can.”

The fatty fireball’s eyes narrowed into a smile, bashfully saying, “Demon, you’re so kind.”

Suo Fei: F**ker, Laozi has conversed with you for so long, why didn’t I hear you say that Laozi is kind?!

Samael spoke again, “Can you make yourself smaller? It’d be too inconvenient this way.”

The fatty fireball thought for a while and replied, “Mm, I should be able to.”

It took a deep breath and there was a flash of fire. Then, four small fatty fireb.a.l.l.s that were only half a metre tall appeared out of thin air.

This isn’t becoming smaller. This is just splitting!

The four fatty fireb.a.l.l.s asked at the same time, “Do I need to make myself even smaller?”

Suo Fei actually wanted to ask him to become even smaller, but decided against it when he imagined a train of a dozen or more small fatty fireb.a.l.l.s following behind him.

“That should be fine.”

Samael just acquiesced with a nod. The fatty fireball followed them from behind and the s.p.a.ce began collapsing.

It was only when they had returned to the previous room that Suo Fei had a realisation.

No wonder Samael accepted the fatty fireball’s request so happily. It turned out that the pa.s.sage and the so-called Trial Grounds were merely illusions. Accepting the fireball’s request was tantamount to breaking the illusion, hence they could leave the place.

One of the seven pa.s.sages was gone, but the other six still remained. There were still no other exits in the room.

A long time had pa.s.sed but only them had come out. The others were still in their own pa.s.sages. Recalling what they had encountered, he believed that the others would not be better off.

They would be subject to punishment if they failed and the punishments could be awfully terrifying.

Suo Fei was worried. How can the little cub handle it by himself? If his door represents Gluttony, wouldn’t that be a big problem for that chowhound?

With such thoughts, he increasingly felt that it was too dangerous. However, they simply couldn’t open the doors.

He related his concerns to Samael. Samael pondered for a while before saying, “I’ll try and see if I could destroy it.” This was the worst-case scenario. They didn’t know what would happen after destroying it, but this would be the least of their concerns if the little cub was already in extreme danger inside.

They had to try.

Thus, they took the fatty fireball to the pa.s.sage with a mouse emblem.

Samael activated the Asura Blade by slicing his wrist. Wanting to activate his ultimate skill, he let a large amount of blood flow out.

However, before he could even release it, a ray of white light suddenly flashed and they couldn’t see anything. The place trembled violently.

The white light receded after a while. Suo Fei squinted his eyes and saw the little cub.

However, the divine beast was twice as big as before! Suo Fei had to raise his head to look at it.

The little cub rumbled out a contented belch, filled with satisfaction after eating to its heart’s content.

An upsetting hunch rose in Suo Fei’s mind. Suo Fei had yet to say anything when the little cub saw them and energetically recounted, “Aoooo, I’m so satisfied! I’ve never felt so satisfied in my whole life!”

Suo Fei’s previous worry was true. The little cub’s door truly represented Gluttony and the little cub went through the trial.

The trial might be horrifying for others, but for the Devourer, it was all he could ever ask for.

For the trial of Gluttony, there were rows and rows of innumerable delicious foods. One could pa.s.s the trial just by resisting the temptation of the delicious foods.

But who’s the little cub? It didn’t even realize that it was a trial. It already became dazed upon entering at the sight of roasted meat. Without even taking a single step, the little cub swallowed the roasted meat whole. The trial was a complete failure.

After failure came the punishment.

The punishment would be extremely harsh for normal people. They wouldn’t be able to move a single inch and their mouths would be wide-open. Then, they would be forced to eat the innumerable delicious foods. It was a sweet but terrifying torture. They were forced to die from overeating.

Unfortunately, the hapless Trial Grounds encountered the little cub.

The little cub found that he couldn’t move after eating the roasted meat and was scared, thinking that he was out of luck. However, it thoroughly enjoyed what followed next.

Its stomach was simply a bottomless pit. The little cub had to eat more than two thousand ferocious beasts to become full. The food in the Trial Grounds would only help him grow.

So, it obediently ate and ate with its mouth wide open until it had eaten up everything inside the trial.

Not only did it not die, it even evolved.

Suo Fei only had one sentence in mind: Fortune favours the foolish.

Although the course of events was deadly embarra.s.sing, at least the little cub wasn’t in danger. Suo Fei’s anxiety had abated to a great extent.

The little cub had not the slightest interest in the fireball fatty who had appeared out of nowhere. The Fire Elemental didn’t have a body. Although it was extremely large, it couldn’t be eaten so it’s worthless to the little cub.

There were five out of the seven doors left. There still weren’t any changes in the room. It seemed that they would have to settle all of the five remaining doors.

The other four doors were still closed, and they didn’t know what was happening behind them. At the moment, Samael’s door was still open.

Thus, they decided to first go to his door.

After entering, as before, they heard the invaders’ curse. However, the last line was different, “Sin of Pride, punished with dismemberment.”

It turned out that the wheel was referring to this.

They were more knowledgeable after their first experience so they directly went into the Trial Grounds.

Suo Fei was slightly curious. What will the trial be?

It was still a narrow pa.s.sage. Samael went first, followed by Suo Fei, then the little cub, and finally the fireball fatty.

Suo Fei paused after taking a step forward.

A person appeared in front of him, extremely familiar but yet so foreign.

However, the illusions were shattered in an instant.

The stunned Suo Fei was already in Samael’s embrace. Then, they began to plummet. The trial had just started but Samael already broke the illusion. So we’re subject to punishment?

There were roaring screams from the little cub and the fireball fatty as well as the whistling of the wind in his ears. Suo Fei was in Samael’s embrace but a bone-piercing chill slowly rose within him.

He only had a swift glance, but he saw it clearly, the sight deeply etched in his mind.

There was a figure. It was Samael. A fully grown-up Samael. He had long, black hair. His robe was pure black and only the cuff was adorned with a silver pattern. He was looking at Suo Fei with a completely unfamiliar expression.

It was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with bone-piercing coldness and indifference to all living things.

Suo Fei suddenly recalled the hand that moved the Asura Blade in an elegant but ruthless manner.

Piercing his chest with apparent ease, the blood staining the man’s Asura Blade red.

The scene lingered in Suo Fei’s mind, silently mocking him.

The author has something to say: Sisters, don’t be afraid. This isn’t an angsty novel. I’m a mom that wouldn’t write angst. If you don’t believe me, come and look at my sincere eyes O.O
