Chapter 364 Dick Has a Good Name
Shadow Claw was blasted and staggered.
Seeing that even these elite claws couldn't take down Harley Quinn and Harley Quinn, Dick was unwilling to wait any longer. He lunged forward and charged straight at his target this time—Harley Quinn.
He is the true leader of the Jokers. Killing him will prevent the Jokers from ever rising again.
Dick entered the battlefield like lightning, his two sticks clashing as one of them struck the clown's gun-wielding hand. His speed was even faster than those modified Libs, demonstrating the rigorous training Night Owl received.
"Wow, look, this little owl that's leading the pack is angry, isn't it?" The clown yelled and backed away, but the horn gun was also knocked away by a blow, and the sharp claws on it left several bloody marks on the clown's wrist.
"I'll borrow your head for now; I need to prove I'm better than Night Owl!" Dick's lips curled into a cruel smile. "I'm his most useful tool!"
The clown laughed loudly. He pulled out a... a... um... from his waist.
Under Rune's speechless gaze, the madman pulled a live eel from his belt!
After careful observation, Rune concluded that it was a biomimetic eel, but it looked too much like a regular eel. Look, it even has mucus dripping from its skin!
"Next, this is a pet your clown uncle gave you~" He held up the bionic eel and swung it fiercely at Dick, but it was blocked by Dick's stick.
Dick was truly fed up with playing this foolish game with the clown. With his other stick free, he aimed straight for the clown's throat. In a panic, the clown narrowly avoided the attack, but the whistling wind from the stick tore a gash in his makeup.
On the other side, Lone Claw finally caught Harley Quinn off guard. Harley was too worried about the Joker and let her guard down. The moment she turned around, the blade on Lone Claw's arm had already pierced her shoulder.
Blood gushed out instantly, but the red and black costume concealed it.
"Harley!" The clown, witnessing this scene, also lost his previous ease, his tone filled with genuine anxiety and anger. Only now did this clown's counterpart finally show his difference.
The Joker genuinely cares about Harley, but he only sees her as a disposable tool.
"I'm fine!" Harley screamed, as if trying to hide something. "My dear Pudding, it's just a little itchy!"
She gritted her teeth and slammed her hammer into Silent Claw's ribs with a backhand strike, producing a sickening screech. Dark green acid seeped out, staining the clothes of this top-tier claw.
The battle quickly escalated into a brutal melee. These superheroes and supervillains were either mindless monsters unaware of life or people with their own principles and ideals; they all had reasons why they could not afford to fail.
The clown hopes to overthrow the Night Owl's reign of terror; he is determined not to let Gotham forever remain that beast's darling.
Harley Quinn, having witnessed the brutality of Nite Owl, was later captivated by the Joker's noble ideals. She wanted to join him in overthrowing this twisted world and bringing laughter to everyone.
Dick Grayson, on the other hand, wanted to use the heads of these two men to prove to Night Owl that he was their most useful and loyal tool, and that he was Night Owl's rightful successor!
As for the claws—they are merely obeying orders. These modified humans have long lost their sense of self, retaining only the instincts of killing and obedience.
Blood splattered everywhere, not only on the Claws, but also on the Jester and Harley Quinn.
Harley's breathing grew heavier and more painful; the clown's jokes became less and less funny; and the props they threw became increasingly dangerous: strong acid, hypnotic gas, exploding playing cards—
The Claws, with their inhuman strength, superb killing skills, and ruthless will, fought fiercely against their opponents. Although they were injured and in pain, they never retreated. They were loyally working to reduce the living space of these two madmen for their commander.
Dick Grayson has become the main attacker. Unlike Nightwing in the main world, this Claw leader's attacks are like a storm, with each swing accompanied by a whooshing sound as it cuts through the air, and his attacks are extremely vicious.
Dick showed no mercy; he only wanted to kill these two lunatics. And he did manage to leave several wounds on the clown, nearly slitting his throat several times, but the clown always managed to dodge with physics-defying antics and retaliate in even more infuriating ways, such as with words.
"Is that all you've got, you brat?" The clown chuckled hoarsely as he dodged. "Is that all Thomas taught you? Oh! I see, looks like Night Owl prefers teaching you some bedroom skills, right?"
These words completely ignited Dick's anger.
After all, lies don't hurt people; the truth is the sharpest knife.
"Shut up!"
Dick let out a low growl for the first time, his anger making his attacks even more ferocious, and this did not affect his terrible killing instinct in the slightest.
Thomas is not Bruce; his training methods are far more terrifying.
This battle was like a never-ending torture, and everyone present suffered greatly.
The Claws are, after all, cyborgs. Although they have self-healing abilities, they are far from reaching Wolverine's level. The accumulation of wounds is constantly slowing them down, and the "little toys" of the Joker and Harley Quinn are causing them heavy losses.
Bloodclaw was trapped in dried pink gel, and the ribs of Silent Claw were corroded by acid, revealing its internal organs.
However, the Joker and Harley Quinn were even more badly injured. The Joker had three parallel wounds on his abdomen, and his intestines were about to spill out. Harley Quinn's left arm was hanging limply, and it seemed that madness was not enough for her to ignore injuries of this severity.
However, Dick Grayson was almost unharmed. Apart from being furious, he was well protected by the other four elite Claws. In his and Night Owl's minds, the Claws were just expendable resources. It would be best if they could be recycled, but if not, it would just mean capturing a few more people. Under the rule of the crime syndicate, human life was the cheapest thing.
"Do you have any last words?"
Dick gave the clown and Harley Quinn a cold look. He was determined to torture the two of them. The clown seemed to care a lot about Harley Quinn just now? Well, he'd torture the woman first, then kill the clown!
Rune then walked up to the clown and Harley Quinn, but strangely, even though he was right in front of Dick and the other four elite claws—
But they just couldn't see Rune.
"Have you thought it through?" Rune tilted his head and looked at the clown. He knew that the clown was the decision-maker between the two.
"Hehehe—I guess I don't have many choices left, do I?"
The clown chuckled softly.
