Only I Am A Reader

Chapter 435  Plot Twist

Out of nowhere, something came crashing into the building that should have only been visible to the newcomer Roleplayers!

\'I have a feeling this isn\'t part of Damon\'s slideshow.\'

From the way things had been explained, Leo guessed that Illisha had likely attached some sort of \'ticket\' to the item that she placed her illusions on so that only the target of the illusion, the newcomers, could see the building.

Since some Roleplayers were hostile, that was the most logical method that Leo could think of depending on the flexibility of the Illusionist Role. However, whatever just hit the place still came uninvited.

\'As expected for such a crucial first event, a plot twist is necessary.\'

Leo didn\'t even consider whether he had jinxed it or not. After all, following the dreadful end of Damon\'s pitch, the other two newcomers were likely thinking of things that were much worse.

While Leo\'s mind was operating at the speed of light, the situation around him wasn\'t that great. A third of the small building had collapsed and dust spread through the air.

\'One, two… Four? No, five.\'

Even then, Leo was still able to sense the presence of five new guests!

\'They don\'t seem too friendly. Let\'s take it out.\'

Making use of the unsettled dust, Leo retreated to the side before pulling the White Tiger out of his body, replacing it with the Sword Breaker.

\'First target is survival, but I also need to collect information while creating a certain image.\'

The most optimal decision in this situation was to immediately escape, but that was only based on the notion that no one else was waiting outside for any escapees.

Most importantly, as risky as things were, this was also the best chance he had to understand how Roleplayers operated.

"Damned Syndicate! I thought we had an understanding, Darion. No attacks today!"

Damon\'s angry voice resounded as a visible wave of Telekinetic Energy pushed through the dust toward the direction of the attack!

"Hahaha, sorry, Damon. Orders from the Boss, she says that there is someone special this time around."

An irritating voice came from the other side as four figures were slowly revealed. In particular, one of them had torn clothes that failed to hide his big body.

\'This is really no different from a novel.\'

A sudden unexpected attack on the day that the protagonist is initiated into the world of the supernatural. Although Leo wasn\'t sure who was the protagonist among them, this gave him a severe case of deja vu…

"I have a different offer instead, why don\'t you just leave these chicks behind and be on your way? We will just have a little conversation with them…"

The man named Darion spoke in a leisurely manner as if he had all the time in the world, but Damon didn\'t share his calmness.

"No way!"

Another Telekinetic Wave pushed forward, this time in a circular radius that barely stopped in front of the newcomers. However…

"Tsk tsk, what did I tell you about angry bursts? They ruin the respectful image that you keep trying to build. You should know this wouldn\'t work."

Once the wave reached the four attackers, it immediately dissipated as if this was all a light show.

\'Someone who could cancel special abilities right from the bat?\'

Leo wasn\'t sure of the scope of such an ability, but it was something on the level of a cheat ability that only a protagonist could have, and this was just one of the attackers…

"Damon! I can hide the newcomers and take them away, but if the rest of you keep battling here I wouldn\'t be able to keep this place hidden. Do we…"

Just Darion on his own was a troublesome opponent that their team had clashed with more than a few times. Illisha didn\'t lack confidence in their team\'s ability to handle the situation, but the safety of the hatchling Roleplayers was another matter.

"Keep everything hidden, we fight!"

Although he was angry, Damon wasn\'t just being irrational. He couldn\'t compromise the integrity of their hidden information safety net.

While there were methods to hide things even after they are witnessed by a group of normal people, such specialists weren\'t readily available as they were already being worked to the bone.

\'We need to finish this quickly… That\'s why I hate that guy!\'

Considering the range of his ability, Damon could have brute forced his way through this battle. However, with someone like Darion, things always had to get close and personal!

"Damon!"

While he was mentally struggling, the tanned man who had been silent up to this point suddenly shouted at Damon as he ran toward Darion. He didn\'t say anything, but his intentions were obvious!

He was going to get Darion out of Damon\'s face!

\'Good job, Alex!\'

Unlike himself who was directly countered by Darion, Alex\'s Role belonged to the physical system. As long as he got to this annoying Silencer, he could thrash him into smithereens!

"Are you sure about that?"

The man with the hulking body and torn clothes also ran in Alex\'s direction, but while Alex braced from the impact, he just passed through him, his target was…

"No!"

The pair of scared newcomers!

As dark gray fur started growing around his body, the hulking man accelerated further. It looked like something out of an animated film, but his body was changing!

"Awwooooooo!"

A blood-curdling scream came out of his mouth that had long transformed into a snout. Without any hesitation, the terrifying Werewolf bared his teeth to take a bite out of his target.

"As if I will let you!"

Alex quickly showed his herculean strength by jumping back in front of the Werewolf, sending a punch into his face.

Thud!

"Nice."

However, the Werewolf wasn\'t any slower or weaker. His palm was fast enough to receive the punch yet not be titled by it.

Though he looked like a beggar earlier, he was the one who had destroyed a third of the building just now!

"Our turn."

In order not to lose the initiative, two of the people by Darion\'s side ran toward Leo and Yulia.

"You-"

"Tsk tsk tsk, your opponent is me, remember?"

At the same time, Darion also marched towards Damon, deploying his ability and stopping him from providing any help.

"Illisha, Rubin!"

With the two strongest members of the team tied up, Damon could only call up for the rest to do something. However…

\'Hehe.\'

A dark figure stealthy climbed out of Illisha\'s shadow…
