"I... I refuse!"

"That's not the answer I wanted to hear," Shiva said coldly.

"Sorry to disappoint you," I shrugged.

"How stupid of you..."

"I would argue with that," I chuckled, looking at the League of Shadows assassins surrounding me.

"In that case, I have no choice but to grab you and deliver you to Ra's al Ghul by force," Sandra Wu-San said, disappointed.

"Hey, hey, what's wrong with you?! We live in a modern society; let's solve problems peacefully," I raised my hands and took a couple of steps back. Unfortunately, there was nowhere to retreat from the encirclement. "You have no right! I'll sue you in the Vessel!"

"I am amazed by your composure," continued the Grandmaster of the League, approaching me. "Even in such a situation, you manage to joke... How irritating!" the woman said angrily.

"Grab him!"

"Well... Okay, come here, I'll kick you out of the air! I grew up on Jackie Chan movies!" The ninja army rushed at Sasha and me, and I barely managed to finish my line.

Wow, what synchronized actions! Perhaps, in a fair fight, we are at a disadvantage. Heh, and who needs a fair fight...

An explosion thundered next to me, and the entire battlefield was enveloped in purple smoke, hiding us inside the spreading fog. At the same moment, a mask appeared on my face, protecting me from the toxic steam.

"Your old tricks again," Shiva noted reproachfully. "You don't think this will work twice, do you?"

A series of shots rang out, and Bordeaux appeared from the thick smoke, holding two pistols at the ready and wearing a black mask. She shot at the enemies with enviable composure, like a veteran who had been through more than one war. Three enemies had already fallen to her, but the rest, not paying attention to their fallen comrades, rushed into the attack with considerable composure.

Lady Shiva, not intending to tolerate any more losses on her side, personally attacked the marksman. The killers, seeing how their commander took on a dangerous enemy, switched their attention to me.

I, still hiding in the thick fog, waged a continuous battle with Ra's al Ghul's trained thugs. Like a ghost, I appeared behind them and carried out a series of combos, but not all of them were successful. Unlike those newcomers I had fought in Midvale, these fighters were a cut above.

A short confrontation with them was enough for me to understand they were an elite squad of the League of Shadows. This was also indicated by the fact that not one of them fell for the traps I set, unlike those in Midvale.

Having pounced on another enemy, I carried out a series of three blows, but the enemy skillfully dodged them all. Without losing the attacking advantage, I quickly dodged to the side and hit him with a spinning kick. This time, successfully! The stunned ninja flew back five meters, leaving the poisonous zone.

I was not at all bothered by this smoke; I felt like a fish in water. Thanks to intuition, I always knew exactly where my enemy was and was perfectly oriented in the impenetrable space. In addition, thanks to the injection of the serum, my vision, smell, and hearing were many times superior to ordinary people.

But I can't say that inside this impenetrable fog I had such a big advantage. My enemies moved freely in the poisonous cloud as well. They were trained from birth to live and act in darkness, so the narrow and gloomy field of vision was not a problem. On the contrary, they acted in their element.

However, the advantage was still on my side. I had to get rid of them quickly and help Sasha; she would not last long against an opponent like Shiva.

Having grappled with two more members of the League, I was pushed to the edge of the poisonous zone, and soon completely knocked out of it. The purple cloud was already dissipating, and I finally saw the battlefield.

About a dozen killers remained on their feet, another dozen were unconscious. Several bodies, however, were already lifeless, thanks to the efforts of my bodyguard.

I did not feel any remorse. They attacked us first and got what they deserved. Death is inevitable in war, especially since Bordeaux is a professional soldier, and for her, taking a life is natural. In addition, she is a bodyguard and must protect me; for this, all means are justified.

I think I accept other people's death so calmly largely due to the "player's mind." This skill helps me keep a cool head, but at the same time, it does not make me ruthless. I understand that killing is bad, but... in this world I am in now, there is no other way.

I cast a quick glance toward the fight between Shiva and Bordeaux, and unfortunately for Bordeaux, she was clearly losing. Numerous bruises and abrasions covered her, and blood flowed from her scarlet lips.

That's it; it's time to finish this!

"How annoying you are," I blurted out, looking from one opponent to the other. "Now you will hurt—not as much as when you ride a bicycle without a seat, but you will hurt! Let the 'Heavenly Punishment' pour down!"

I threw my hands up, for greater effect.

In the night sky, among the brightly sparkling stars, round figures suddenly appeared. They were barely noticeable to the eye—the black coatings merged with the surrounding darkness, making the bowling balls almost impossible to see.

Yes, I resorted to heavy artillery again! At one time, I bought about ten thousand of them just for such a case.

But I didn't limit myself to bowling balls; heavy throwing was still in play. That's right—I bought about thirty thousand cannonballs for throwing, which filled the sky after the three-eyed game balls.

I currently have 84 intelligence points, which means I can pull things out of my inventory within a radius of 84 meters. Imagine the power objects will gain when falling freely from such a height, weighing about seven and a half kilograms!

For dessert, I left fifty thousand select chicken eggs—humiliate and rule! I am a walking weapon, so, you know, I'm not so easy to deal with!

My move greatly discouraged the League's killers—even Shiva stopped attacking Sasha for a moment.

I was not going to waste time, and while the enemies were recovering from such a shocking sight, I rushed straight at them.

It is worth saying that they came to their senses very quickly, pulled out shurikens, and splattered me with a fine rain of metal stars.

"Idiots!" Shiva shouted, seriously annoyed by their recklessness. "We need him alive! If something happens to him, I will personally torture you in the death cell!"

Wow, look how nervous they are. What kind of cell is this? Apparently, death does not scare them, but torture—especially from Shiva herself—is much worse.

But I digress...

The wave of shurikens was rapidly approaching. When the throwing weapons reached a dangerous distance, I summoned a concrete wall two by two meters in front of me, completely shielding myself from the deadly stars.

This action delayed me for one second. Having put the wall back into storage, I pounced on the remaining ninja.

The members of the League of Shadows fought off cannonballs, bowling balls, and wild eggs, remembering all their training, and cursing me with all known swear words—I am sure of it!

This hail of especially dangerous objects and products caused me no inconvenience at all. As soon as one approached me less than 0.1 millimeters, it immediately disappeared, returning to my inventory, and then fell again from a height of 84 meters to the ground.

This action required great mental effort and extreme concentration. But then again, nothing was impossible for me.

Since increasing my intelligence, I have opened six additional streams of consciousness.
