Infinity, The Arcade Age-Chapter 299: Ultimate Technique

Qin Ming's relentless imitation of skills, copying whatever he saw, had clearly shaken the three adventurers to their core.

Even though his versions weren't as lethal as the originals, his overwhelmingly high stats more than made up for it.

With white flame reducing incoming damage and his blood energy enhancing output, the balance of power shifted in his favor. For a regular adventurer, taking even one of his attacks head-on would be nearly impossible.

But these weren't just any adventurers—they were mid-tier fighters. They weren't pushovers.

They were shaken, but not beaten. If Qin Ming thought he could end this fight with one or two blows, he was dead wrong.

Realizing that their coordinated attacks had failed to bring him down, the three adventurers exchanged glances—then let out simultaneous battle cries and charged at him from three different directions.

Seeing enemies closing in from all sides, Qin Ming's expression twisted into a savage grin.

A massive surge of blood mist erupted from his body, swirling like a crimson storm.

S-Rank Skill—Blood Absorption! Fully activated!

...

While the intense battle raged on in the streets, a lone adventurer broke through the ceiling, successfully infiltrating Jessica's holding room.

This was Jin Huan, the fourth member of the adventurer squad.

Unlike his teammates, who were engaging Qin Ming directly, Jin Huan's role was to secure the hostage while they kept the enemy occupied.

Yet, despite successfully breaking in, Jin Huan wasn't moving.

He stood there, frozen, staring in shock at what was in front of him.

Lying on the bed, wearing nothing but a loose bedsheet, Jessica was completely still—her lifeless eyes staring blankly at the ceiling.

Her delicate bare legs peeked out from under the sheet, hanging limply over the edge of the bed.

Jin Huan was stunned.

What the hell happened here?!

Was I... too late?

Was the hostage already... ruined?!

But... that doesn't make sense! Weren't they planning to negotiate with Haggar?

They had just been talking about ransom demands—why the hell would they go and violate the hostage right after?!

His thoughts raced. His mind flashed back to the giant, hooded brute he saw on the video call.

Wait... was it that gorilla?!

If that monster had already had his way with her...

Then what's the point of rescuing her anymore?!

Jin Huan's face twisted in frustration. He glanced back at Jessica's unmoving form.

Even as an adventurer, he knew exactly what kind of people they were.

In an environment where death could come at any moment, it was only natural for adventurers to become twisted over time.

They grew paranoid, short-tempered, and bloodthirsty—killing over the smallest disputes.

It wasn't uncommon for some to develop... certain preferences.

Kidnapping female characters and using them however they pleased was nothing new in the world of adventurers.

Jin Huan even knew of a well-known member of the Wulin Squad, Qin Wang, who had a sick habit of violating women right in front of their loved ones.

That guy was a complete monster—he didn't just kill, he enjoyed ruining people.

Apparently, his twisted nature started in one of his early mission worlds—where a villain crippled him and stole the female character who had fallen for him.

That messed him up permanently.

Jin Huan sighed, rubbing his forehead. This was getting way out of hand.

Still...

Maybe... this isn't such a bad thing.

If Jessica had really been defiled, then Mayor Haggar would completely lose it. Cody—her fiancé—would probably go berserk as well.

By staying close to them, they could manipulate their rage and squeeze out even more rewards from this situation.

Yeah... this might work out better than expected.

Jin Huan approached the bed, reaching out to grab Jessica and wrap her in the sheet.

But just as his hand reached for her—

BOOM!

A thunderous explosion erupted behind him.

Jin Huan's eyes widened in alarm as he immediately spun around.

The door had been kicked open—and standing in the doorway was a woman clad in a leather jacket, her eyes burning with murderous intent.

Before he could react, she raised a machine gun and opened fire without hesitation!

A storm of bullets ripped through the room, forcing Jin Huan to dodge-roll out of the way.

As he tumbled across the floor, his hands flicked outward—

A golden light flashed as two gleaming chakrams materialized in Jin Huan's hands.

Gripping the small golden rings, he swung his arms with incredible speed.

A metallic clang-clang-clang echoed through the room as sparks flew in all directions—he was deflecting every bullet with nothing but his twin golden chakrams!

Eri's eyes widened in disbelief at the sheer absurdity of what she was witnessing. The next moment, her brows furrowed as she reached for the wood-handled grenade strapped to her waist.

Yanking out the pin, she hurled it toward her enemy with all her strength.

"Let's see you block this, asshole!"

The grenade whistled through the air, spinning toward Jin Huan.

His pupils contracted sharply—without hesitation, he spun and flung one of his chakrams straight at it!

World of Proud Swords and Furious Blades! Jinlun Tongzi's Technique—Wave Shadow Ring!

The chakram whizzed through the air, striking the grenade mid-flight and detonating it prematurely!

Before the blast wave could settle, Jin Huan had already snatched the returning chakram and, with a furious roar, threw both rings forward once more!

The twin chakrams, now spinning at high velocity, curved like guided missiles—one from the left, one from the right—zeroing in on Eri.

Eri barely managed to dodge, using her superior agility to weave between the incoming projectiles.

...

A sharp metallic screech echoed as the two golden rings embedded themselves deep into the wall, almost half-buried in the surface.

Eri, having rolled away to evade, barely had time to raise her gun before—

Jin Huan let out a battle cry, his Qi surging wildly as he stretched his hands toward the wall.

The chakrams suddenly spun back to life—reversing course and flying straight back to him!

Catching his weapons with practiced ease, Jin Huan immediately deflected a new wave of bullets, sending another storm of sparks flying.

Then—his body flashed with golden light.

The chakrams in his hands... suddenly split into nine!

In a flurry of golden afterimages, he launched them all at Eri!

Eri gritted her teeth and dodged frantically, but no matter how she moved, the chakrams kept coming!

Because before the ones in front could even reach their limit, the ones thrown earlier had already started returning, forming an endless barrage of spinning death!

This was none other than Jinlun Tongzi's ultimate technique from World of Proud Swords and Furious Blades!

B-Rank Skill—Ninefold Fury Rings!

...

World of Proud Swords and Furious Blades was a pure martial arts world—it had no bloodline abilities like The King of Fighters, nor superhuman physiques like Street Fighter.

But what it did have—was absolute mastery of technique!

Which meant that skills from that world weren't necessarily the most powerful—but they were the most stylish, and the most unpredictable!

Simply put, their techniques were cheap as hell! If you didn't know how to counter them, a single move could harass you to death!

And Jin Huan was proving that now.

Nine chakrams circling endlessly, relentlessly hounding Eri.

The damage output wasn't high, but the attack was so ceaseless that she had no breathing room—no time to counterattack, no chance to even reload!

If she couldn't find a way to break through, then it would become a test of endurance—a battle of mental stamina.

Would she die first, or would Jin Huan's Qi run out first?

...

With an insane grin, Jin Huan stood his ground, continuing to fling the chakrams—each one bouncing, rebounding, and returning like a deadly boomerang storm.

Meanwhile, across the room, Eri was forced into constant evasive maneuvers, unable to retaliate—every time she tried to fire, a chakram intercepted her bullets.

The man's twisted laughter filled the room.

Jin Huan didn't have extraordinary talent, nor did he have amazing luck.

But through sheer determination, he had obtained this technique in World of Proud Swords and Furious Blades.

And with just this one move, he had fought his way up to mid-tier adventurer status.

It was a one-trick strategy, but it worked.

And now—of all people, he had run into Kasamoto Eri—the female lead of the Metal Slug world!

But so what?!

It didn't matter who his opponent was!

Anyone who dared to challenge him in ranged combat... was already dead!
