Chapter 4171 Escape

Chapter 4171 Escape
It wasn't until the excruciating pain struck that System Black regained its senses and finally understood what had happened.

As Linton pressed him to the ground, he instinctively tried to fight back, reaching out to attack Linton beside him.

With a loud "bang," the attack was only impressive in terms of sound; it had no real effect whatsoever. That's right, it only made a noise; it didn't actually cause Linton any harm.

"Good heavens, you dare to resist?" However, Linton seemed quite angry. He directly pulled up the head of the system Xiao Hei, who was being pressed to the ground, and before the other party could react, he slammed it down again.

Another loud thud, and a crater was punched into the ground. Of course, Linton didn't give the other person a chance to catch their breath. He immediately pulled the other person up again and then slammed their head down again, repeating this several times until the ground couldn't take it anymore and the surrounding ground shattered into a pile.

Although the commotion was quite significant, the actual damage it caused to System Black was actually quite limited. After all, with its rapidly regenerating body, it could recover immediately no matter how much damage it suffered.

Although the damage was not great, the pain was real and intense, and of course, the humiliation was also very strong.

Linton had previously gone out of his way to amplify the other party's pain several times over, resulting in System Black currently suffering four times the pain damage. Of course, System Black himself is unaware of this, since he has never been beaten since childhood.

No, to be precise, it's because they've never been hurt, never experienced pain. And now, their first experience is the top-tier package offered by Linton, and it truly tastes exceptionally good.

"Come on, run one more time and let me see," Linton said, pulling up the system Xiao Hei, whose face had recovered but who still looked somewhat half-dead.

The system, Xiao Hei, really did run away as soon as it was told, because it disappeared from Linton's hands in the next second.

Linton paused, confirming that the other person hadn't escaped because of speed, as his grip was tight and escape was impossible. If the person had suddenly vanished, it was most likely due to some kind of spatial teleportation spell.

Although Linton was a little surprised by the sudden disappearance, it wasn't that big of a deal. He figured it wouldn't be too difficult for the system, Xiao Hei, since its secondary system shop seemed to sell things like random teleportation talismans, so it was normal for the main body to possess such an ability.

As for why he chose to run directly instead of transferring, he was probably already not thinking clearly because he was so frightened by Linton.

Of course, could it run away? Obviously not.

The next second, Linton stretched out one hand to the side, and a portal appeared. Linton reached his hand into the portal and grabbed the panting System Black.

This situation terrified System Black, who was just congratulating himself on escaping. He was thinking about why he hadn't thought to use teleportation to escape earlier, and thankfully he remembered now. But before he could even catch his breath, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his right hand.

He immediately realized whose hand it was. Although he could only see one hand, the only answer was that the person who had grabbed him was Linton.

Sure enough, the next moment, he saw Linton on the other side through the portal, and the guy was still smiling at him.

Of course, now the system, Xiao Hei, saw Linton's smile as a devilish smile, which frightened him so much that he instantly disappeared again, teleporting to another location. Linton frowned as he looked at his empty hands. It was troublesome that the other party was determined to escape. It seemed that the other party's teleportation ability did not bring the person who grabbed him with them, but only moved the body away.

Of course, Linton could still pinpoint the other party's location; he knew exactly where they were. But even if he opened the door and went there, the system's Little Black would teleport away again.

Of course, this isn't a panacea, since the system Xiao Hei's abilities consume resources. Now that he's out of the camera's view, the emotional energy transmitted will naturally decrease. And this teleportation ability is quite costly, at least that's true for teleportation abilities in this world.

Those teleportation ability users in Team 7 of the Extraordinary Abilities Division, for example, sometimes need to rest for several days after using their abilities. Many even believe that the human body can hardly withstand the strain of teleportation, and that using their abilities will affect their potential to some extent, essentially overdrawing their physical capacity to activate their powers.

While System Black is no longer quite human, it still consumes energy. Linton, on the other hand, consumes almost no energy in this regard, as opening a door consumes virtually no mana and replenishes it immediately.

If they insist on dragging it out, the system Xiao Hei, which has now lost its logistical support, obviously cannot outlast Linton.

But as I said before, Linton simply has no patience.

If you keep wasting your time with him, he won't have the patience to waste any more time with you.

Of course, you could say that you open a door every time and shoot a beam of light to kill the opponent. Even if the opponent recovers and immediately teleports, the recovery and teleportation process would probably consume energy even faster.

The problem is that if that's the case, the battles will all take place on the other side of the portal, so what will the audience see? They won't be able to see anything.

Linton's goal was to beat up System Black on camera, making him beg for mercy. He just hadn't expected System Black to be so good at causing trouble.

So what should we do now? Linton wasn't worried, after all, he had leveled up now.

That's right, he's now basically mastered the art of verbal sparring. Look, they've even created a notification sound, so he no longer has to guess whether his verbal attacks have any effect. This improvement is so significant that it's making Linton a little arrogant.

Linton didn't bother checking if his shop had any spatial sealing abilities; he remembered it might, but he was too lazy to look. So he simply opened a portal and returned to the system, Little Black.

After the transfer, System Xiao Hei had been paying close attention to the surrounding situation. He was much more panicked than Linton had imagined. After all, he didn't know how impatient Linton was. He knew that if Linton continued to drag things out like this, he would also die without a doubt.

He had to come up with a plan, a solution. But before he could even start thinking, a portal opened up in front of him once again.

System Xiao Hei's first reaction was to run, but before he could even disappear in a flash, Linton's voice rang out: "Thief, don't run!"
