The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle-Chapter 225 - 176: I’ll Take Charge as the General Commander! (Thanks to the Chief Psychiatrist of Ishgard Mental Hospital for the Lord Patron’s reward)_2

Ethan Dawn's eyes lit up: "So you mean the situation isn't bad right now, we still have a chance?"

"Of course, the rattle it's banging is not lethal. It's just because everyone is afraid, which magnifies its effect."

Su Qi paused, calmly saying, "And right now... it's just gathering strength for a big move to wipe us all out."

"..."

Ethan Dawn suddenly widened his eyes:

"What do you mean 'just'? Isn't this situation even worse!"

"Don't panic, they've made their move."

Su Qi looked into the distance.

All the top talents were standing at the forefront, each with a stern expression, directly and without hesitation, carrying their weapons...charging toward that face-like monster! Penelope Bloom and Justice Chief did the same!

They had realized that only physical damage seemed to pose a threat to it!

As for the face monster, it stood tall, its pupils dripping with blood-red eyeballs, and it let out a weird laugh... then stopped dancing and swung the rattle in its hand as a weapon, furiously hammering everyone attacking it!

In that instant, everyone who attacked felt their heads burst, their bodies stiffen, and their eyes seemingly saw blood-red, then... one after another, they were harshly hammered and sent flying!

Even the Ghost-faced Magician, Penelope Bloom, and Justice Sheriff couldn't resist and were brutally blown away!

"Boss!" Ethan Dawn quickly activated his skill, forming a cushion of soft membrane, catching Penelope Bloom and others in the same direction, including the Ghost-faced Magician!

And the face monster did not pursue its victory, but...

"Bang bang bang!"

The rattle started banging again! The eerie dance of the old man, along with that creepy sound, struck fear on everyone's face!

Only Su Qi lightly clicked his tongue.

"Dancing, although weird, and the sound quite unpleasant, this rhythm hits exactly on the beat without any deviation. That's not easy. If in another place, he's absolutely an elderly artist with artistic pursuits."

Ethan Dawn: "..."

Why do I hear high praise in your tone!

"This isn't right, totally not right. An ordinary Seventh Rank monster shouldn't be this powerful!"

At this moment, Ghost-faced Magician's corners of his mouth oozed blood as he raised his head, clenched his teeth, and stared intensely at this skin-like monster.

Previously they managed to negotiate! Now they were completely helpless, even powerless to resist. The opponent seemed much stronger than before! Moreover, that terrifying presence was spreading more and more!

He felt utterly powerless!

This was completely different from the Seventh Rank information he had gotten in Paradise!

At this time.

When everyone saw the top players quickly defeated, their eyelids twitched, and their morale plummeted, wanting to retreat and flee!

"When someone starts to flee, everything is declared a failure, and most likely... most people won't be able to escape. Fear and fog have already intertwined, causing everyone to lose themselves and become one of this old artist's facial pieces."

Su Qi murmured softly.

Everyone looked at him with uncertain eyes, Penelope Bloom's expression a bit grave: "We... can't even escape?"

"This monster is beyond the ordinary!"

Su Qi turned to the Ghost-faced Magician:

"Aren't you the commander? Speak up, stabilize the morale."

Ghost-faced Magician's face was hideous.

He was in no position to stabilize any morale right now!

Originally, they were disunited, and now it's a complete rout!

"...Since that's the case." Su Qi said lightly: "Then I'll take over."

"You?"

The numerous top players looked at this young man.

And then everyone silently watched as Su Qi took out a small megaphone.

Ethan Dawn's eyes widened even further.

Where did you get that thing!

And in the next moment.

"Beep—————"

The crisp sound echoed through the open area, along with echoes and harsh noise!

Everyone couldn't help but startle, their attention diverted.

Even the face monster couldn't help but turn towards Su Qi.

Facing everyone's gaze, Su Qi apologised with a smile: "Sorry, I pressed the wrong button."

The crowd: "..."

Su Qi raised the megaphone to his mouth and calmly said: "All players, please pay attention... I am now your commander."

"My name is Sunlit Big Boy, I hope you all get used to and remember me."

Everyone's eyelids twitched.

"Also, a reminder for those who want to flee and give up, if you do that, there's only one way out for you." Su Qi pointed to his own forehead: "From the moment you stared into those face eyeballs, you've been quietly targeted. It will sicken your mind with fear, gradually twisting your perception..."

"In short, you'll get lost in the fog, and then be pursued by this old artist like he's chasing chickens..." Su Qi paused, then spit out a word: "Violated."

"What is this gibberish!" Ethan Dawn roared.

"Then let's change it to humiliation."

"..."

Is there any difference?

And your language skills come from textbooks, right?

Then everyone immediately noticed a small black dot between their eyebrows. It looked almost imperceptible, but it indeed carried a bizarre aura. When they tried to rub it off, they found it couldn't be removed.

Someone despaired, "So we're definitely going to die!"

"What should we do?"

"Should we try to run, or should we fight with all we've got?"

Su Qi, holding a megaphone, shook his head, "I've already said to follow my command."

"Have you not noticed that its aura hasn't increased?"

Everyone cast dubious glances toward the person-faced old monster, who continued to shake the rattle and perform its eerie dance. Indeed... since the beginning, the chilling air around it had not intensified.

"What exactly is going on?"

"Because emotions are its nourishment, and fear is the source of its power. The reason it's becoming more and more powerful is merely because it has been instilling fear step by step."

Everyone was stunned, no wonder the monster was becoming increasingly terrifying.

Ethan Dawn also caught on, "I see. So Brother Yang, what you did just now wasn't for fun, but to distract everyone and temporarily divert them from fear, right?"

"Hmm?"

Su Qi was momentarily taken aback.

Then he nodded, "I see, that's right."

Everyone: "???"

Is it really though?

"It doesn't matter." Su Qi locked eyes with the person-faced monster, smiling:

"Now, please pay attention... let's resume strategic deployment and initiate the attack!"

"When attacking, cover your eyes so you don't meet its gaze, and you won't be bound or repelled."

"It's okay if you miss, AOE will handle it, just keep using skills!"

At that moment.

The person-faced old monster seemed to sense something was wrong and stared intensely at Su Qi, swatting away the surrounding skills and charging toward him!

Su Qi:

"Look, it's moved to rage. Top players, go tie it down."

"And don't all go, three of you stay behind to protect me."

Penelope Bloom, Justice Chief, and Ghost-faced Magician fell silent: "..."

Su Qi's speech was very rapid, seemingly having a clear understanding of many people's skill information on the scene, directing players from all positions just right.

When to retreat, when to charge!

Deplete, burst!

Including the person-faced old monster's every move was detected!

A team of hundreds of people was being directed so nearly everyone played their part, rather than being a mess as before!

"Is this the power it absorbed before depleting? But... it still doesn't show any wounds!" Penelope Bloom said gravely.

"Moreover, the players had already used a lot of it in the previous battle."

Justice Chief also spoke gravely, "If we can't deliver a fatal blow, the result will be the same!"

A short burst and perfect command could certainly improve the current situation a lot, but everyone would ultimately become exhausted, and due to their decreased strength, be unable to defeat the opponent, and fear would rise again.

It was all just a vicious cycle.

"That's true."

Su Qi looked at the person-faced monster, who was staring intensely back at him, seemingly aware that all the current circumstances were caused by this young man holding the megaphone.

Continually growling, it burst forth to charge at Su Qi!

But it was desperately blocked by numerous other players!

Su Qi was their brain, without this commander, they would probably crumble even faster!

"Look, even an old artist still has a temper."

The three: "....."

Penelope Bloom said gravely, "Don't worry, we will protect you. But if a solution isn't found within five minutes, I'm afraid everything will still..."

Su Qi interrupted him:

"Do you see the basket on its back?"

"That's the only place without a face, and it's also its fatal weakness."

"It's already red-eyed toward me."

"And now."

"It's your turn to step in."
