The Lust System

Chapter 185: Weakness

Max, Yu’er, and Xue coordinated together and came up with a plan to deal with the two Awakeneds smoothly.

As they have been closely following the situation surrounding where bats had been, they quickly discovered that this Awakened wasn’t taking action alone.

Coincidentally, the same one who attacked Max was the same one who was acting together with their target.

For Max, it couldn’t be better as now he would be able to get him back for the troubles and annoyance he received.

Truthfully, Max had never thought too much about the recent attack. In his mind, these things would happen when he least expects it, and it will be out of his control.

Max came here today to accomplish a goal, small matters like what just happened before, were not something he wants to be bothered with.

Especially from what he had experienced, his attacker wasn’t even powerful enough to make him feel threatened.

Small enemies like the Awakened from before don’t deserve his time and effort, it was not a worth act, and Max was not willing to waste his energy dealing with a minor character.

However, if the world made it too convenient, then Max would not decline. The chance to punish the Awakened who attack him was now right before him.

It would be a pity if he were going to ignore it.

…

The instant the vine came out of the ground, it instantly shot towards Smiling Death, and taking advantage of his surprise, the long vine twirled around his head down to his neck.

The second Smiling Death felt his head entirely covered by the living vine, for the first time since he had become an Awakened, an oppressive fear filled his heart.

It was only a short moment that time seemed to stop, and his entire body froze, feeling extremely uncomfortable as if something was crawling on every inch of his skin.

In the next moment, something cold could be felt on his chest. With his mind not comprehending what it was, Smiling Death only thought it was strange.

However, not long after, sweet-tasting blood suddenly flowed out of his mouth. Smiling Death’s body shook, his eyes widened in shock, he couldn’t believe it.

Smiling Death was invulnerable against all attacks; it had always been like that. When Smiling Death once got into an unfortunate accident, he got out unscathed; it was a miracle.

Through the past weeks, a lot of things had happened around him. What Smiling Death found out was he had the ability to be immune to all kinds of attacks.

Smiling Death had been full of confidence and arrogance about how he was undefeatable, and no one had been able to put a single scratch on him.

This belief had never been broken until his arrogance caused him to battle it out on one silent night with a strange person he encountered while on his way to a different city.

The strange person, betraying his expectations, suddenly turned into a massive group of bats.

But after the initial surprise, Smiling Death still held his belief that nothing could happen to him, and the bats could only attempt to scare him but not harm him.

Again, for the second time, something unbelievable happened. At first, nothing happened to him, and Smiling Death only looked on with contempt at the futile attacks of the bats.

What could some bats do against him? They were only some brainless creatures ganging up on him but still couldn’t do anything.

However, a piercing pain could suddenly be felt from his back as if his skin was pulled out by tiny ants all at the same time.

This was when Smiling Death shockingly discovered that he wasn’t as invincible as he thought. And this was also the time when he learned about his only weakness.

Max had also discovered this weakness when he was fighting against Smiling Death. Max had tried every attack he could put out, including using a tiny streak of Purple Lightning to test whether Smiling Death would have a reaction on his face.

But all of it spectacularly failed. Nothing was effective, and soon after Max gave up on the troublesome battle and landed his last blow on Smiling Death, his eyes caught onto something.

When Smiling Death flew away from his attack, Max was certain about what he saw. There was indeed a slight change in Smiling Death’s face.

It wasn’t the shock from the force Max was able to deal out with him being thrown back like a doll, and it certainly wasn’t from the humiliation Max brought him.

For the first time, Max saw pain from his face. Although Smiling Death was quick to hide it, Max still knew that what he spotted wasn’t a lie.

From this, Max instantly had an idea about how that could be possible. But with the arrival of the bats, Max had no time to confirm it.

And from how a dagger found its way to Smiling Death’s chest, deeply sliding through him, Max’s guess had now been proven to be true.

Every time Max had attacked him, Smiling Death had always been smiling. The fake smile on his face had already managed to annoy Max over and over.

However, Max had also noticed that Smiling Death always liked to watch his every action. Even when he was attacking from the back, Smiling Death never failed to turn his head, intent on watching his every attack while flashing out his incredibly annoying smile.

Max found it strange but had never thought that there was a reason behind it.

From what Max observed throughout their exchange, there could be multiple reasons why his attacks weren’t dealing any damage.

But when Max added Smiling Death’s strange actions and how he seemed to get hurt, Max had one guess that sounds quite farfetched but was possible.

Their initial plan was to only restrain Smiling Death with Xue shapeshifting into the vines, which can be found everywhere in the forest lying on the ground and flowing through the woods, Yu’er would then be the one to test out Max’s idea.

Max didn’t believe that it would work, which was why he had instructed Xue to transform into vines enough to remove Smiling Death entirely out of the battle for a very long time.

But now that Max had successfully figured out that attacks would only be blocked as long as Smiling Death could see it, it seemed like this will be the end for him.

Just as Smiling Death realized his situation, the vine around his head and neck tightened, constricting him with enough force which he could not defend against.

Eyes closed and limbs tied, Smiling Death could only disappear from the world.
