Chapter 231 : Raid dungeon (23)
The vines quickly wrapped around my body and soon I found that I wasn't able to move.
The vines were even so tight that it felt like my body was going a bit numb.
As expected of someone who had the nickname Constrictor.
But it was clear that he was going a bit further than he normally would since he didn't like me.
The way that I was caught in the vines, it seemed like I was finished.
There were many people that had smiles on their faces when they saw this, as if they were just waiting to see what Johnny would do to me.
The only reason he didn't go any further was because Tie Gang was watching.
He knew that once it went too far, Tie Gang would step in and stop him. So he was trying to keep it at an acceptable level so that he could torture me some more.
He was just waiting to see how Tie Gang would react.
Tie Gang's brows were slightly knit as he looked at me, but I just shook my head at him to show that I wasn't giving up yet. So in the end, Tie Gang just crossed his arms and remained silent, as if he was going to stay out of this.
Johnny revealed a surprised look when he saw this.
He thought that it would be over once he had caught this kid, but it seemed that Tie Gang was waiting to see how it ended.
Did that mean that he was supporting him or did that mean that this kid had some kind of trump card?
Johnny didn't dare let his guard down, but he did come closer as he tightened the vines.
He walked up so that he was right in front of me and looked at me with a smile on his face.
As he stood there, it was clear that his guard was down since he thought that he had won.
In a calm voice, he said, "Why don't you give up? It's clearly over. If you give up now, I'll be gentle. But if you don't…then you can't blame me for what's going to happen."
I had my head down as if I was in pain, but then I suddenly looked up and said, "You feel dizzy."
Johnny was caught off guard when he heard this and before he could react, there was a wave of nausea that suddenly washed over him.
He didn't know where this feeling came from, but he felt that it was very hard for him to concentrate like this.
It was even hard for him to stand up straight like this, so he couldn't help wobbling as that nausea assaulted him.
I saw that wobble and felt the vines loosening around me, so I said under my breath, "Stronger."
After saying that, I pushed my way out of the vines with my increased strength.
The vines weren't able to withstand it at all as I ripped them apart.
In the end, I brought my sword in front of Johnny and put it up to his neck.
During this time, he had still been affected by the nausea, so he wasn't able to stop me.
He wasn't even able to see what happened since he was too affected by the nausea that hit him that made it hard for him to see anything.
When it finally went away, all he saw was that I was in front of him and I had a sword at his throat.
Johnny had wanted to do something, but the moment that he tried moving his hand, he found that there was a sharp pain that came from neck. It was the sword cutting into him, which made a bit of blood come down from his neck.
It was as if he moved even the slightest, he would be cut down by this sword.
Once things had gotten to this point, it wasn't as if he was able to do anything else.
Tie Gang revealed a faint smile before saying, "That's the end of that."
There was only shock that followed after he said this as everyone couldn't believe what just happened.
Not a single one of them could understand how I had just reversed that situation that seemed like it was a dead end for me.
After all, not a single one of them would have known that it was my plan to get caught.
Getting caught didn't seem like a viable strategy, but I knew that someone with pride like this was someone who let their guard down easily once they thought that they had the victory.
I knew that once it seemed like he had won, Johnny would give me the perfect opportunity to exploit.
So instead of stopping his vines from wrapping around me when I saw them appear under me, I just let them constrict me so he thought that he had caught me.
As for what happened after, this was the result.
After Tie Gang announced the result, I didn't pull my sword away from Johnny's neck right away.
I just carefully watched to see what he was planning on doing, but it didn't seem like he was planning on doing anything.
I had been careful since in situations like this, people with high pride like Johnny would usually lose control and try to do something irrational.
It was a good thing that he didn't do that in the end.
So I slowly moved my sword away from his neck and turned to walk away.
But I was right that he wouldn't let it end there.
It was just that he wasn't planning on using action to change the situation.
He was planning on using his words.
"I don't accept the results of this duel!"
As soon as he said this, everyone turned to look at Johnny with strange looks, but he ignored them all.
He just pointed his finger at me and shouted, "He cheated! There is no other explanation!"
