MMORPG: Rise of the Peerless Pumpkinmancer-Novel

Chapter 128: Drunk Jack VS Assassins (1/2)

Tons of players suddenly swarmed the New Leaf plain! There were so many unknown faces: how were there so many new players?!

"Who the hell are those guys?!"

"They don't seem that high level, but where are they from?!"

"Fuck, I've seen them train in the forest earlier! They were praising the Demon King. How treacherous!"

Heck, some old players even joined these newcomers. This was the Mighty Dragons' perfect plan! They had retreated, but they had never given up on getting their revenge!

The surrounding players saw it all happen.

"These fools are rushing to their deaths, haha!"

"The Demon King is gonna slaughter them!"

"Wait…that's their freaking plan!"

So what if Jack was OP? The Mighty Dragons would use the low-level players as meat shields and higher-level ones to do the actual damage. This was perfect considering that the starting HP was a staggering 20!

"Jack, we gotta get out of here!" Bubblegum hurriedly shouted.

The Drunk and high AF Demon King smiled sweetly, seeing the concern on her many faces. He gently approached his hand to caress her cheek. "Don't worry, let them come."

"Don't worry?! You're gesturing at empty air again! I'm over here!" One of the many Bubblegums called out to him.

"Oh…." Jack replied nonplussed.

He turned toward the approaching enemies. There were so many of them! At least a few thousand! Oh, wait, no. He was seeing bonfires, chickens, the mirages of the assailants, and even grass.

At this moment, he felt as if the entire world was so damn intriguing! But even then, he still understood the situation somewhat. He gave a confident smile at Bubblegum.

"Come over to me, valiant heroine!" Jack called out.

She could only sigh to herself. Good thing she hadn't participated in the excessive drinking! But their situation was grim. Most of their allies were as shaky on their legs as their leader.

There were about 200 enemies. This wasn't something that they could fight! She'd have to be the one to carve a path of blood for them to escape! This would be nigh impossible, fuck!

She went toward him, but he suddenly ambushed her with a bear hug just as she reached him! He wrapped his arms around her, holding her body tightly against his. At that moment, she froze, not even registering the overwhelming smell of alcohol.

She could feel his heart thumping. Her ears felt tingly with his soft breath, his head was resting on her shoulder comfily, and his entire body was so damn warm! His chest heaved as he took a profound inspiration.

"Yep, this smells about right. You're the real Bubblegum!" He smiled as happily as a man having found a treasure or solved a puzzle. Was he freaking smelling her now?! How embarrassing!

"Y-you! What are you doing?! We have to bounce, now!"

"Bounce, is it?" He began hopping in place with her still in his arms. She tried to free herself, but his grasp was so tight. How was he so strong?!

"Bounce as in we have to get the fuck out!" She urgently shouted as the enemies were about to reach them. What the hell was wrong with him?! But that's when she saw his mischievous smile.

"Wait, you're trolling me?! Don't tell me you're faking being drunk?!" She gasped.

"Naw, don't worry. I really am completely wasted!" He reassured her.

"Woo!" (Same!)

"Then I SHOULD worry!!!!" She retorted.

"Woo." (It will be fine…probably.)

"All is well, I believe in you." He could sense how she was about to kick him from annoyance. How was she to kill 200 enemies alone?! This was a suicide mission!

"You'll be my eyes." He gently whispered.

At first, Bubblegum felt perplexed, but then she understood his meaning. What kind of plan was this?!

"Fine!" She grumbled, seeing his "I'll be counting on you" expression.

Bubblegum carefully gripped his arms with her slender hands, not knowing that this battle would become a historic one. She then controlled his hands to aim as Jack rained fire on his enemies!

"Let's fucking goooo! Demon King goes BRRRRRR!" Jack shouted as they worked together.

Bubblegum was akin to a valiant warrior princess delivering death unto the enemies. On the side, Moon Moon was also using magic. Its aim was so fucking bad, but it didn't care one bit!

"Woo! Wo-wo-wo-woooo!" (Happy!)

The first wave of opponents shrieked in pain as they felt their skin and muscles get melted under the intense heat. Many human torches began to regret, painfully perishing. What kind of suicide operation had they signed up for?!

Their demise was accompanied by evil yet slurred maniacal laughter:

"Muhahahahahaha! This is the best!" It was evident how much Jack was enjoying himself!

Seeing the Inferno, enemies, and allies still alive gulped in fright. Heading to the battlefield at this moment was insanity! What kind of devil was this guy?! He really was having too much fun!

"Damn! I was planning on helping, but nope!"

"Even us allies are gonna die if we join now."

"These Demon King hunters are doomed!"

"This is so fucking crazy!"

"At least it's not dragons…."

They could only nod in agreement. But this time around, he was just shooting a continuous beam of fire. There was no way to avoid this! But as the remaining attackers were despairing, the fire suddenly stopped.

Jack, why did you stop?!" Bubblegum asked worriedly.

"Oh, I'm out of mana. Completely fucking empty! I'm like a poor student's wallet! Or one's balls after—"

"I fucking get it! But we'll have to break through the enemy lines. There are still about 100 of them!" She urged.

"I see, I see. Well, I see so much that it's a problem even. These visual hallucinations sure are vivid! Anyway, I have an easy cure to it." Jack chuckled.

"You do?!" She asked, incredibly surprised. He already had an antidote ready?! Wasn't he encountering that drug for the first time?

"Yep, sure do. Here, tie this up for me." He was asking her to tighten a bandana to cover his eyes.

"Are you fucking serious?!" She shouted.

But, she was just met with a low and confident laugh….
