Hacking the Game Didn't Go as Intended [Part One]

CHAPTER 97: Cold. Dark. Unrelenting - Daisuke's Savage Assault

Petula shook her head with a smile, her fingers laced beneath her chin in a silent prayer. "I'm certain that goddess Seraphina has not forsaken us; she'll work a miracle through Haxks and see us finally freed from this place."

"Heh. Is that seriously the best you can do?" Daisuke taunted, tilting his head to cast a disdainful glance at the lackeys lingering in the background. "I've already sent a bunch of your buddies to hell, and this is how your captain avenges them? What does that say about the value of your sorry lives?"

The group's fleeting glance at Rohan seemed to ignite his fury. "You insolent little worm," he cursed through gritted teeth. "I've reached my limit with you; this farce has stretched on for too damn long."

Daisuke remained silent, his focus unwavering. He had already set the wheels of destruction in motion—now, all that was left was to wait patiently and reap the rewards. As Rohan charged forward like a bolt of lightning, consumed by unbridled malice, Daisuke relinquished his hatred as best he could and took a deep, calming breath.

Suddenly, his eyes snapped open, golden pupils darting around with mechanical precision, tracking the swift trail of light that Rohan left in his wake as he whipped around the chamber at lightning speed.

With heightened senses and razor-sharp focus, Daisuke expanded his awareness, until finally, the blurred outline of the assassin came into sharp focus in his mind's eye.

Without a word, Daisuke swapped out the Lipanthyer's Fang for the Sturdy Club. His biceps bulged as his stats automatically poured into his Strength stat, his fingers coiling around the hilt of the crude weapon.

"Any last words, maggot?" Rohan's voice dripped with mockery, the sinister glint of his dagger casting a chilling reflection in Daisuke's eyes as he suddenly materialized.
