Chapter 145: Red Archer Ascends to Heaven?!
"Uh, hum, hum, uh, ah, ah, ah!!!" Feeling the tremendous binding force, Red Archer roared and exerted all his strength to try to move his legs, attempting to make his body move. But he felt desperate because his body showed no intention of obeying his commands.
Realizing he had no way to evade his fate, Red Archer had only one thought in his mind... Transmit!
As it's often said, people will see their life's experiences flashing before their eyes before death. At this moment, Red Archer seemed to have entered such a state. In this carousel-like vision, even the action of Tom swinging his red spear towards him appeared to slow down, as if someone had pressed the playback speed to 0.5x.
"Am I going to die...?" On the brink of death, Red Archer suddenly realized, "Wait, I've died before, haven't I?"
With the determination to save the world, Red Archer's gaze became even more resolute. Since being summoned, he had acquired some knowledge from the summoning system, including quotes from great figures. Among them was a line uttered by an unknown great person, "No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must not be afraid. Face it with a smile. The best way to eliminate fear is to confront it. Persistence is victory. Come on, let's do this!"
If even ordinary people can face challenges with such courage, what's the difference between an heroic spirit like him and a fish out of water if he doesn't struggle before death?
A faint smile appeared on Red Archer's face. In the blink of an eye, as Tom's club was about to strike him on the head, he crossed the black and white dual daggers held in his hands over his head, trying to block Tom's attack.
"Clang!" In the next instant, Tom smirked and swung his giant spear down onto Red Archer's blades.
"Crack!" Almost instantaneously, the crossed daggers held above his head shattered like glass, producing a sound identical to that of glass breaking.
Seeing this scene, Red Archer's heart and lungs stopped, as he watched the club continuing to approach his head.
In his mind, Red Archer thought, 'Oh no, I'm done.'
In the next moment, the red spear made a perfect collision with Red Archer's head.
"Bang!!!" In an instant, Red Archer's vision turned pure white, and everything disappeared, as if he had been hooked and pulled underwater while playing "League of Legends," his entire being completely purified.
The purified Red Archer found himself in an extremely peculiar place. All around him were pure white clouds, and when he looked up, he saw a blue sky. In front of him was a long, white staircase that led to the sky, with a pure white entrance resembling a cross at the end of the staircase.
As Red Archer was fascinated and instinctively wanted to step onto the stairs, a strange background music suddenly resounded from somewhere.
"Ding-dong~ Dong~ Ding-dong~ Dong~ Ding-dong~ Dong-ding-dong~ Dong~ Dong."
With each 'dong' in the sky, the entire scene and colors would change. Sometimes it turned into a white background, and at other times, it transformed into a golden one. However, no matter how the background changed, the main focus was still the floating staircase reaching towards the sky and the door of light at the end.
"Is this... Heaven?" Red Archer wondered, looking at everything in front of him.
However, before he could make sense of what was happening, a series of very discordant voices came from the sky, oddly accompanied by 'oh~' or 'oh~' sounds.
Listening to these voices, Red Archer felt uncomfortable.
"Oh~ dear XXX, what's wrong with this man? How could he die? He shouldn't be here."
"Beautiful XXX lady, you're right. Comedic characters can't be killed, so there shouldn't be such wonderful visitors in this beautiful heaven."
"Oh~ exactly! We should solve this problem, dear XXX."
"Don't worry, leave it to me. I will use my strong, elephant-like legs and kick this man's sexy butt hard."
What? They want to attack him? Hearing this, Red Archer immediately went on guard.
Although he didn't know where he was or who these voices belonged to, he knew he had to prepare for battle!
But before he could draw his weapons, he felt a fierce kick to his butt. Red Archer lost his balance and tumbled forward, landing flat on the ground.
"Ugh!" He quickly lifted his hands off the ground, only to find himself back on the familiar rooftop, facing the strange blue and white cat wielding a crimson spear.
Seeing Tom, Red Archer's face was filled with horror as he crawled backward tens of meters, "What did you do to me just now?!"
Tom, who had just completed his swing with the 'stick,' now had a puzzled expression with a 'question mark' floating above his head.
Look at what you're saying! I was just beating you up! Tom thought to himself, wondering if Red Archer had become silly.
As Tom worried about whether he had actually knocked Red Archer silly, he quickly hid the red spear behind his back, afraid that someone might find out that it was the one who had caused the man's strange behavior.
Unfortunately, at this moment, almost two-thirds of the people in the entire 'EUO Super Deluxe Seaside Paradise' were watching the live broadcast of Tom and Red Archer's battle on the large screen.
"Unbelievable! In just the first round of the battle, our mongrel number one player has knocked down mongrel number two with a single blow!" Gill, located in the bottom right corner of the screen, continued to passionately commentate on the battle, his voice filled with surprise.
"It seems that mongrel number two's situation is quite unfavorable. Is he going to lose so quickly?!"
Surprised not only Gill, but also the countless spectators watching the live broadcast in the amusement park. They all stared in shock as Red Archer was defeated with just one strike.
After the brief surprise, the emotions of the audience shifted to anger towards the second mongrel, Red Archer.
The reason for this anger was quite simplealmost three-quarters of the people had bet on Red Archer to win this fight.
