As someone who prioritizes killing others, I'm forced to stream a death game.

After receiving the notification from the terminal, Ishida Yuji stood up.

But just as he was about to head to the deathmatch arena, he received a message from higher-ups.

Upon closer inspection of the access level, it's clearly P1.

"Boss!" Ishida Yuji immediately bowed to the floating window.

"You guys did a great job, huh?" Otsuka's voice was deep. "Is this how you promote the reputation of the Red Oni!?"

"I'm sorry!" Ishida Yuji apologized without offering any explanation.

"We can't afford to lose the fourth game, especially not against one of the Nine Emperors—do you understand?"

"Yes! I understand!"

"With a piece of trash like you, I'm afraid I'll lose all face for the Red Demon." Otsuka sneered, manipulated the terminal, and sent something over.

"Boss, what is this..." Ishida Yuji asked in confusion after receiving the item.

"Two tricks. I learned them before going on stage."

"Huh? This—"

"Ok?"

“Yes…!” Ishida Yuji lowered his head, looking bewildered, and replied respectfully.

"Okay, go ahead, and be quick." Otsuka nodded in satisfaction and hung up the call.

Ishida Mataji's face twisted as he looked at the two strange spells that had been sent to him.

He has already mastered two tricks.

If he were to learn two more subjects... his mental capacity would absolutely not be able to handle it.

They might die suddenly on the way to the top before they even get on the stage.

However, orders from Otsuka Masashi are absolute.

Ishida Yuji had no choice but to bite the bullet and open both of the tricks to examine them.

Instantly, his eyes became vacant.

Veins bulged out from under the skin of his neck.

At that moment, no one except Ishida Mataji knew what his mind had gone through.

When he came to his senses, half of his face was still covered with hideous purplish-red fine blood vessels.

Otsuka stared wide-eyed, standing there for a moment.

I didn't come to my senses until the terminal notification sounded.

Then, like a walking corpse, he walked out step by step until he reached the deathmatch arena.

Looking at Ishida Yuji's expression, Liu Ren frowned.

This person's eye sockets were completely sunken, and he looked like a corpse, exuding an aura of death.

[Why does this guy look just like the Reward Guy?]

[With such dark circles under his eyes, did this guy take a break to relax before going on stage?]

[Little Japan, they're quite good at adjusting their mindset.]

That's understandable; I'd be nervous too.

The streamer has been relentlessly hacking and slashing since he came on stage; he's practically going crazy with it.

While the audience in the live stream were watching the excitement.

The symbol of the start of the deathmatch in the atrium system shattered once again.

Ishida Yuji suddenly raised his head, as if he had come to his senses, and glared at Liu Ren.

No one else noticed anything unusual.

But in Liu Ren's view, countless tentacles suddenly extended out from behind Ishida Yuji.

"!"

Liu Ren immediately used his movement technique to retreat, trying to avoid these disgusting tentacles.

But these tentacles seemed to be equipped with location tracking, extending directly along with Liu Ren.

What is this thing?!

Fortunately, Liu Ren's agility was excellent enough that he was not touched immediately.

However, a bunch of question marks appeared in the live stream chat.

【? 】

【? ? ? 】

[What is the anchor doing? ]

The enemy hasn't even moved, has they?

Why did the streamer suddenly start singing, dancing, and rapping?

Could it be that it was frightened?

[They haven't even moved, has the streamer suddenly become so timid?]

【…】

As the tentacles continued to extend, Ishida Mataji's mental pressure gradually increased.

His eyeballs and temples bulged out, and his expression became extremely ferocious.

"go to hell!"

Suddenly, Ishida Yuji, who had been motionless, moved. A transparent, ethereal python coiled around his arm and charged toward Liu Ren along with his fist.

With his space to maneuver greatly reduced by the dense tentacles, Liu Ren had no choice but to take the punch head-on.

Bang!

A dull thud of flesh colliding rang out from the outside of Liu Ren's arm.

He stumbled back several steps as a result.

And once he regained his balance, he used his movement technique to shift his position again.

During the brief few seconds of contact between the two sides, Liu Ren's position remained unchanged for almost no more than a second.

This series of confusing actions left 99% of the viewers in the live stream bewildered.

What on earth is going on here?

Has the streamer gone insane?

[Had he killed so many people that he finally killed his own brain?]

I knew it; this guy is all show and no substance.

[What kind of ancient martial arts master is he? At most, he just benefits from trickery.]

[Actually, it's very bad.]

[I heard that using trickery can damage your brain; has the streamer's brain finally been damaged?]

No, that shouldn't be it.

[You bunch of armchair ponies, why don't you go up there and try it yourselves?]

[All you do is talk nonsense in the live stream.]

【Xiaoyu! 】

Isn't that right? Then how do you explain the streamer's current state?

Ultimately, I followed the wrong person.

Didn't you guys notice that the streamer kept avoiding something?

I only saw him scaring himself.

[Oh no, the streamer seems to be infected!]

When did you receive the test result?

Could it be that attack from just now?

Wow, what kind of poison is this outrageous? It looks terrifying.

Liu Ren was indeed poisoned.

A terrifying toxin seeped into the skin from the point of contact and began to rush rapidly towards the heart along the blood vessels.

This has resulted in Liu Ren's arm being completely changed.

The entire arm was covered with a dense network of reddish-purple veins, which looked extremely frightening.

"..."

Liu Ren's face was grim. While calmly dodging the tentacle attacks, he also tried his best to avoid contact with Ishida Masaji again.

But, even so.

The poison that had already been implanted in him was still spreading rapidly.

At the current rate, it will reach the heart in no more than ten breaths—

wrong!

Liu Ren diverted some of his attention to observe his physical condition.

Then they discovered that the toxin was stuck in the area that was in contact with the main body of the torso.

Then the rate of infiltration began to slow down rapidly.

It felt like being stuck in a quagmire.

Is it because...

A glint flashed in Liu Ren's eyes, and he quickly determined the reason.

His physique is currently at a high of 56 points!

Far beyond the average person!

Poison resistance appears to have increased several times as a result.

Ishida Yuji kept swinging his fists, the illusory images of pythons flying on his arms mixed in with the dense pile of tentacles, forcing Liu Ren to retreat again and again.

His dejected spirits seemed to have improved somewhat as a result.

"How's it going, you bastard! Feeling pretty good infected with that filthy heart poison, huh? Hahahaha—"

Ishida Yuji laughed maniacally while launching an all-out attack.

He was like a complete madman.

Soon, Liu Ren retreated to the edge of the deathmatch arena.
