Chapter 23: Marceline
After Reina went to the corner and hid, Dante threw an object at the enemies. Seeing it, Don Morsow's men reflexively aimed at it.
Realizing what it was, Don Morsow widened his eyes. Then he quickly opened his mouth and shouted at his men. "Fool! Don't shoot it! That's a fire extinguisher!" However, his warning came late. His men already pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The pressurized contents immediately discharged, causing a large cloud of smoke.
A while ago, while they were searching for the stairs leading downstairs, he saw it on the wall in the hallway. He took it and secretly stored it inside his Cyber Storage.
Maybe he'll need it later. That was his thoughts at that time. And it turned out to be useful indeed.
The sudden appearance of clouds of smoke confused the enemies and their vision was obstructed.
Sounds of coughing enveloped the room.
Dante did not waste the opportunity. With a mask to cover his mouth and nose, he dove into the cloud of smoke.
Seeing the enemies ahead, he dashed forward.
The first victim was the one in front, who at that moment was coughing and didn't realize that Dante was already right beside him. Sending a punch in his gut, the person groveled on the ground immediately, curling on the floor while hugging his stomach.
Arrgh...
His groaning sound caused a sense of despair in his companions. They suddenly fired recklessly to where they believed the noise came from.
Ratatatat!
Dante used a peculiar movement and dodged the bullets. It was a zigzag motion of a rapid swaying of his body from left to right, making him a difficult target to hit, especially inside the cloud of smoke.
This peculiar movement was called 'Marcilene'. He learned it from a survival shooting game that he loves playing in a VR game. In the Dream World, he mastered this movement and used it a lot to dominate his opponents.

Using the Marcilene movement, Dante easily evaded the rain of bullets from the semi-blinded opponents.
Even if there were 200 of them pulling their triggers at once, however, with their visions obstructed and with the addition of using the Marcilene movement, none of them were able to hit him.
Right after reaching his enemy's line, the groaning sounds came one after another. On the contrary, gunshots were already rarely coming in fear of causing friendly fire.
Don Morsow looked dumbfounded as his men fell one by one, and the cause of it was one person only!?
"What the hell! Are you fools cross-eyed or blind?! Why can't you hit him?!" Don Morsow shouted at his men.
"But sir, he's so agile. Our eyes can't follow his movements. On top of that, his movements are so unpredictable. Moreover, the smoke hinders our vision!"
"Stop yapping and just kill him already, Bastard!"
"Yes, sir!"
Ratatatat!
Don Morsow gritted his teeth. Even a superhuman could not fully dodge such a rain of bullets. And yet, how was this one able to do it? And what is with his movement? How did he even do that?
"Fuck! Forget about shooting! Just use another method!" Don Morsow shouted at his men. He realized guns were useless at this point.
"Yes, sir!"
They took out their knives and some even wielded swords. They jumped forward and thrust their swords at Dante.
But Dante's body began swaying once again, easily evading their attacks. Then he sent a counter to the second opponent. His swift punch landed on his face. The enemy ended up curling on the floor; his face swollen and bloody.
Another enemy came and tried to stab him from behind. But with just a little twist of his body, he caught his wrist, then twisted his arm before Dante kicked it away from behind.
Argh!
The enemy screamed as it stumbled forward, rolling on the floor a couple of times.
The sequence of events continued, chipping away the enemy's number one after another.
In the VR game, he usually plays solo versus squad in that survival shooting game. However, look at him now, it wasn't even a solo versus squad situation but a solo versus whole lobby with 200+ enemies.
Fighting against 200 opponents should be so exhausting, especially for Dante who had just recovered from a coma.
However, inside the Dream World, it wasn't new to him to fight against countless opponents who came wave after wave for straight one week without a break.
Although inside the Dream World, he wasn't in his real body, he learned from the training that mental thoughts were a big factor that could affect a person's physical condition.
As long as you have strong and unwavering mental determination, you can endure a long fight even without a rest.
After a couple of minutes, the room finally fell silent. There were some groaning sounds on the floor, but the biggest issue was that the 200 enemies were all lying on the floor like piles of garbage. And in the middle of this trash, only one person was standing.
