Free Web NovelChapter 1396
Red Ribbon and Blue Ribbon didn't really care, but there was a petty rivalry between Willow and Super Ribbon. Willow resented Super Ribbon for unknowingly hurting Davey, while Super Ribbon, for her own reasons, felt a surge of resentment toward Willow.
Despite that, the reason Super Ribbon didn't clash fiercely with Willow was that she herself had also hurt Davey in the past.
Of course, sisters fought and bickered, but Super Ribbon and Willow were practically blood sisters, making them similar yet extremely different.
There was a good reason they no longer fought fiercely—they both lived in reality.
Being in a game changed everything.
Bang! Bang!
In the ruined underground facility, Willow looked up at Super Ribbon, who was staring down at her with two massive pistols in her hands. Super Ribbon looked down at Willow while hanging a large automatic shotgun in one hand.
Evangeline sighed as she watched the two from a distance. She spoke to the air, “Guys, how do we stop them?”
[How tf should I know bro??]
[LMAO they’re hilarious, why would we stop them?]
“You trying to get banned, buddy?”
[Sry... lol]
Evangeline pointed toward the sky. “You see that?”
The devices that marked the place as virtual reality, which should’ve been floating in the sky with ultra definition, appeared blurry.
“I think Willow’s changing this place so that she can draw out power from reality. I have a feeling this isn’t gonna end with just gunshots. It’s gonna become a real, all-out fight.”
Since they were in a game, fighting recklessly, getting hurt, or taking a lethal blow wouldn't actually affect them.
That was why Willow and Super Ribbon had been shooting at each other.
It was an absurd thing to arbitrarily change the rules set within the virtual space, but Willow was practically the owner of the virtual space. As such, changing the rules was easy for her.
[Boss, I heard you leveled up recently. Go in and stop them! If words don't work, you gotta use force. We know you’re strong.]
“The thing is... I am strong, sure, but... I’m really not confident against Willow. As for Super Ribbon? Her true power's strong, but she doesn't hate much direct fighting experience using her human body.”
Ssss.
A mask formed on top of Super Ribbon's face.
“Nope. Nevermind. Once Super Ribbon becomes like that, I can't do anything either. I gotta tell Dad. Hey Dad, are you watching?! Please stop them for me!”
[LMAOOOO]
[Quick to give up lols]
Davey was messaging the stream just moments before, so she assumed he was likely watching.
However, he crushed her request mercilessly.
[Eva, bring them back once they’re done.]
“Daaaad!!!”
[GG OMEGALUL]
[He’s just holding out LMAO]
[He’s like do whatever you want loool]
Boom!!
Willow charged in for more first. She fired the pistols in both hands, aiming precisely for Super Ribbon’s head. Super Ribbon met the charge with a shotgun in one hand and a crimson energy sword she’d created in the other.
Clank! Clank! Clank!!
Super Ribbon and Willow fought as they shot across the ruins. As they flashed back and forth, they gradually picked up speed.
[Speed you wouldn't believe lmao]
[OMG lol]
From the viewers' perspective, the two seemed to vanish and reappear at random times.
Super Ribbon, who had somehow managed to imitate Willow's power, struck away the bullets with her sword and fired the shotgun at her.
It wasn't a simple bullet, either. Super Ribbon had imbued the bullet with her authority, instantly shattering Willow's defense. Willow, in turn, unleashed her divine power, shaking Super Ribbon up.
“I’ve felt this for a while—I really didn’t like you.”
“Same here.”
With those final words, the two fought like they were trying to kill each other without saying another word.
Bang! Bang!
As the bullets Willow shot scattered from all directions like a spray of fire, Super Ribbon’s eyes behind her mask glowed while she moved, leaving behind a crimson afterimage.
At the same time, it felt as if time momentarily froze. Super Ribbon instantly accelerated, leaving dozens to hundreds of red and blue afterimages in the air.
She sliced through every bullet Willow had shot at her. Witnessing such astonishing speed, both Evangeline and Willow's eyes widened.
In contrast, the viewers were simply amazed by the bullets that were exploding like petals in the air.
Thud!
With her eyes flashing, Super Ribbon once again fired her shotgun, finally striking true across the chest.
Bang!!
With a massive roar, Willow went flying. As soon as she tumbled, Super Ribbon slightly crouched, preparing for a follow-up attack.
However, she hadn’t expected Willow to counterattack.
Her garment quickly flew in, wrapped around Super Ribbon's legs, and slammed her into a pile of wreckage.
Bang!
At the same time, Willow shot another bullet. Just as Super Ribbon, who had hastily stood up, was about to slice it down, the bullet exploded, illuminating the surroundings.
A chain of explosions followed.
Super Ribbon was continuously caught in the explosions, engulfed in blasts boasting power far beyond a typical TNT detonation.
Evangeline shuddered at the sight of the two fighting like they were trying to kill each other, going beyond a simple sisterly quarrel.
“It's a good thing this is just a game...”
Although they had started to manifest their real-world powers, it was still just a virtual space, not reality. There was no pain, and death wasn't really death.
That was one reason why their fight, with no limiters, had become so intense.
“Super Ribbon!”
The moment Evangeline was about to frantically run toward the wreckage, Willow extended her hand. “Don’t go.”
Boom!!
Soon after, the wreckage exploded and scattered before Super Ribbon slowly walked out. Her clothes were torn in places, but the glow in her mask was eerier than it had been when Willow was inside Super Ribbon's inner self in the past.
“That crazy girl, she’s completely made it her own.” Willow, dumbfounded, quickly moved her hand to eject the magazine and then reloaded.
The shotgun Super Ribbon had been holding was nowhere to be seen as she stepped out slowly. Instead, she was holding a crimson energy sword in one hand and a blue energy sword in the other.
Willow grinned and said, “Fine. I’ve wanted to have a real, proper fight with you for a while now. Haven't you?”
Super Ribbon’s red and blue eyes flashed, and she took a step forward.
Boom!!
Super Ribbon and Willow clashed again.
However, unlike before, Super Ribbon strongly triggered her PTSD.
The moment they were locked in a power struggle, Super Ribbon turned into light and momentarily split into Blue Ribbon and Red Ribbon.
“This lunatic?!”
Naturally, Red Ribbon and Blue Ribbon were wearing masks as well. They aggressively pressed Willow, shifting between person and sword as needed, moving as if they were a single entity.
Even as a goddess, it seemed she couldn’t completely overwhelm Super Ribbon.
Super Ribbon slowly began to push Willow back.
“Gah!”
As Red Ribbon used her small frame and incredible speed to slip through Willow’s openings, she threw a blue sword that immediately transformed into Blue Ribbon. Then she used Red Ribbon as a sword and thrust sharply.
Infuriated, Willow unleashed her divine power like an area-of-effect bombardment. Blue Ribbon tossed Red Ribbon into the air and then furiously dodged the wreckage by hopping around.
Willow was completely distracted by Blue Ribbon, who kept dodging nimbly like a flying squirrel.
She gradually sped up to keep pace, yet failed to notice Red Ribbon, who had been tossed into the air.
Squelsh!! ƒreewebɳovel.com
Red Ribbon, who had transformed into a sword, flew on her own and dealt a massive slash across Willow's back.
Given Red Ribbon’s authority, it wouldn’t have been strange for Willow to be split in two. Yet, Willow endured it. freёwebnoѵel.com
However, the moment her attention shifted to Red Ribbon, it gave Blue Ribbon an opportunity.
Red Ribbon, who had leaped all the way to the ceiling of the ruins at some point, gathered both feet and slammed a falling dropkick onto Willow.
“Ugh?!”
The attack threw off her balance. Naturally, her attempt to counterattack Red Ribbon was also foiled.
The two children didn’t miss the chance, fusing back into Super Ribbon to prepare their final move.
At the same time, Willow also released more of her power, trying to assimilate the space to be like reality.
The atmosphere became even more aggressive as they continued fighting.
[Anonymous has donated 5 Won]
- Wrap it up before I get angry.
“Hmph?!” Super Ribbon, who was about to deliver a heavy blow, flinched and slumped down.
Willow also winced, looking scared.
Although Perserque’s voice through the donation was small and low, and their fight was loud, the difference in volume didn’t matter. Both turned ghostly pale.
The atmosphere turned instantly chilling, incomparable to when Davey had given a warning.
Evangeline, who was buried in the rubble, groaned and grumbled, “It would've been nice if you two were like this from the start...”
Seeing the two frozen with dread, she slowly stood up with a look of disgust. “I’m never playing a game with you two again.”
Only after hearing that, Willow and Super Ribbon, whose heads had cooled, hurriedly tried to say something to Evangeline, but she pretended not to hear them.
“What's with you two, acting like little kids?!!”
[LOLOLS came in for an ad and got properly sucked into this mess LOLS]
[The fact that a mom can shut things down instantly proves that moms are number one in any family loools]
Evangeline then drew a portal with her hand, stuck out her tongue at the two sitting blankly, and disappeared.
* * *
Willow was supposed to be the guide for the stream. However, since Evangeline had abandoned her, she could no longer follow the original plan.
She instead asked the viewers with a sour expression, “So... what should I do here?”
They all had the same reaction to her question.
[Dunno.]
[How would we know lol]
[Just do something quick.]
“Hmm. Wait a minute. It seems like there's something here...” As she gestured in the air with her hand, several translucent windows appeared before her.
They contained Willow's account content that hadn't been released yet, besides the ones that had already been launched.
The game where she hunted creatures and escaped, which Evangeline had enjoyed with her in the beginning, was among those listed.
Evangeline looked at an unnamed program with a unique thumbnail. “Oh. This looks interesting. Should I try this one?”
[Isn't that the one those little ribbons went into earlier before they came out crying?]
“Oh really?”
[What the hell did they see inside?]
“Hold on, let me read the description.” Her face wrinkled after she moved her fingers around. “Let’s not do this one.”
[???]
[What's this trickery? Open the portal now.]
The horror map Willow had used to tease Red Ribbon and Blue Ribbon was content that revealed the terrifying depths of the entrant’s mind, making it perfect for a test of courage.
“I-I don’t even have anything I’m afraid of, so it wouldn't work on me anyways.” Evangeline desperately hid her cold sweat and explained that she wouldn't see anything even if she went, but...
[Constellation Sagittarius has donated 1,000,000 Won.]
- Go in.
“No...”
[Constellation Sagittarius has donated 2,000,000 Won.]
- Go in.
“I’m telling you, don’t send donations! I can't even give a proper reaction to this...”
[Constellation Sagittarius has donated 5,000,000 Won.]
- You still won't go in? Do you know how many loot boxes I can pull with this money?
“Ugh.”
A look of conflict settled on Evangeline's face.
[Constellation Sagittarius has donated 5,000,000 Won.]
- If you take this opportunity, you can 100% beat Moderation.
“Deal!” Evangeline, who finally knelt before money, threw herself into the portal.
She naively wondered if anything could possibly even invade her mind in a virtual space. If it were impossible, she figured nothing scary would appear.
Skitter skitter!!
No sooner had she heard the sound than Evangeline's face turned ghostly pale. “No way! Holy shoot! Tell me this isn’t happening! Fast!”
[Oh boy... she's done for.]
[Jesus. I turned off my screen.]
[Fuck brooo I was just about to eat loools]
Something was pressing in from the darkness at an incredible speed. It wasn't something that made her scared, but something she utterly despised.
The incomplete content couldn't penetrate her sturdy mind. Instead, it had manifested a terrifying being from someone else’s memory instead.
As the terror washed over Evangeline, she hastily opened a portal to escape. However, her hands slipped, causing the portal to close.
She ended up running like a lunatic down the dark corridor, screaming, “GYAAAAH! NOOOO!!!”
Skitter skitter!!
A massive wave of cockroaches surged toward her in a frenzied deluge.
As she ran away in disgust, an immense surge of energy shook the space. The space began to become extremely unstable and started mixing with other things.
After running for a while, she spotted something ahead that was crouching with its head lowered.
“What is it now?!”
[Oh? Isn't that??!]
[Holy shit. Don't look at its face. If you do, it’ll chase you until you die.]
It was a monster famous on the internet.
A monster that chased and killed anyone who looked at its face until the end of hell.
Evangeline mercilessly kicked the monster in the back, sending it flying, and kept running.
“Doesn’t matter! It’s better than cockroaches! Run! I’m seriously never taking a mission from her again!!”
Her kick tore the creature to pieces in a single blow.
