Chapter 613: Mad King Building Definitely Planning Something, Scheme After Scheme!
"How strange, impossible!"
"Even if Mad King Building used all its interference power, it couldn't let a monster like Agatha out!"
"Would the Dorm Survival Game allow this? This absolutely ruins Building War balance."
"Either there are prerequisite conditions, or I'm overthinking it!"
Xu Lang's thoughts churned wildly, his attention drifting from the fighting outside.
The Evil King Building players were still jumping down to fight, one by one dying on arrival. Later, they began gathering together, preparing to charge through the first floor all at once.
Moreover, the higher-tier players in the Evil King Building's food chain had also arrived.
But Xu Lang had lost interest in continuing.
He glanced at his Nightmare Essence and decisively began accelerating the dream.
Accelerating the dream blurred everything inside it. Though he couldn't see many details, the consumption was lower.
[Nightmare Essence -3000]
Nightmare Essence drained at lightning speed, making Xu Lang wince with each loss. Most of this had been painstakingly earned by Wu Huihui and the others.
What they earned was his, so the pain was only natural.
Finally, when the total Nightmare Essence dropped to just 50,000 points, Xu Lang reached the node he wanted.
This was the seventh round of the Building War, the final round.
The war was still being held in the Void battlefield, and the special structures attached to all four dormitory buildings had appeared, resembling four complete safe zones.
And it was during this round that Agatha made her entrance!!!
The consumption speed of Nightmare Coins suddenly doubled. The cost of simulating Agatha's form was equal to simulating the entire Building War!
When he saw Agatha head straight for Mad King Building the moment she appeared, Xu Lang cursed bitterly in his heart.
Obviously, she wasn't here to deliver gifts!
"Mad King Building, you really are a bastard mutt!"
Xu Lang didn't hold back his compliments.
To avoid misunderstandings, Xu Lang draped on Raphael's Cape and teleported repeatedly, landing directly in front of Agatha.
"Agatha, have you come to help Mad King Building defeat the other players?" Xu Lang asked while sweeping a glance at the young girl and boy beside Agatha.
The girl had snow-white skin, a delicate oval face, and eyes like two azure lakes, beautiful to the point of being monstrous.
The boy had snake scales on his face. Though exceptionally handsome, he radiated a sinister and icy aura, like a venomous snake.
"Hmm... you know me?" Agatha looked a little bewildered, then suddenly understood: "Oh, you're the original of those clones that kept pestering me. So annoying!"
Xu Lang laughed awkwardly: "I thought you were a wild monster coveting Mad King Building..."
"Whatever. This time I really am here to help Mad King Building win the Building War," Agatha waved dismissively, cutting him off. "But you have to die. You and your dormitory must be destroyed. Your impact on the game's progression is too great. Mad King Building can't play normally anymore!"
The moment she finished speaking, Agatha reached out toward Xu Lang.
Instantly, Xu Lang felt the world spin. When he came to, his body had shrunk countless times, and he was caught in Agatha's grasp.
Xu Lang stared directly at Agatha, feeling as though he was floating in a galaxy.
Crack~
Xu Lang's face shattered like broken porcelain. The light of his soul spilled from his head, radiating dazzling brilliance.
At the critical moment, Xu Lang's heart burst as he simultaneously activated Ultimate Liberation, reclaiming a sliver of control.
He didn't attack. He didn't choose to escape. Instead, he killed himself on the spot!
Scarlet Herding Chains burst from his chest, shredding him to pieces.
The Scarlet Shepherd temporarily left the mortal world and returned to the Grave Pasture.
...
Grave Pasture. Torrential blood rain poured from the sky.
The assembled Herd Spirits sensed something and prostrated themselves on the ground, awaiting their Herd Master's return.
The moment Xu Lang's form successfully materialized from a self-sacrificing tombstone, a cataclysmic sense of crisis crushed the entire Grave Pasture.
"This space is truly fascinating. Are these all the creatures you've slain?"
Agatha's enormous face appeared in the sky like a colossal celestial god.
Boom~
Thunder roared across the Grave Pasture. Its four boundaries trembled faintly as if about to collapse.
"You really can trace me here, but can you enter?"
Xu Lang looked up at the sky and spoke calmly.
The Grave Pasture was indeed collapsing under Agatha's influence, but it was also repairing itself. The Scarlet Shepherd was, after all, B-3, and the power of the Sequence was universally acknowledged as overpowered.
"It seems I really can't get in... but you probably can't hold out much longer either." Agatha could only observe. This world belonged to Xu Lang.
Yet even the gaze of a higher-dimensional existence was a weight unbearable to life!
Agatha's "presence" suddenly intensified. Like a twisted, dark sun, it illuminated the Grave Pasture, causing it to crack.
At that moment, everything began to distort!
"Why do you have to kill me? Is the Mad King still alive? Is the Mad King the same as Mad King Building?" Xu Lang hadn't given up struggling.
He still had one last trump card, the Taleblade Demon Box!
The Demon Box and he were, in a sense, two sides of the same coin. If he hid inside the Demon Box World, then in theory, he wouldn't exist in this world anymore.
Of course, if Agatha could truly search every dimension, then he really had no way out!
It would waste some Nightmare Essence, but Xu Lang wanted to try!
It was just a dream anyway, so Xu Lang feared nothing!
"You guess."
"So that means he's neither alive nor truly dead."
"So clever. If you had lived in my era, you could have served as an advisor to His Majesty the Mad King."
Agatha had just finished her compliment when she realized Xu Lang had vanished!
Now even she was a bit confused. She quickly checked the karmic threads connecting her to Xu Lang, trying to follow them.
But she failed!
The dimension of the Taleblade Demon Box was too obscure. After all, she didn't know much about Tales, so she simply couldn't enter.
...
Inside the Demon Box World.
The moment Xu Lang appeared, he immediately looked up at the sky. He didn't see Agatha's giant face.
"It worked!"
Xu Lang hadn't expected to succeed.
After all, in his mind, the Status of the Sequence was higher than that of a Tale. If Agatha could track him to the Grave Pasture, she should be able to track him to the Demon Box World.
Sure enough, without testing these higher-dimensional beings several times, you could never understand their mechanisms and behavioral rules, let alone counter them.
Just as Xu Lang was thinking this, he suddenly felt the earth tremble violently.
"Did the Earthquake Authority go out of control?"
The thought lingered for only a moment before being dismissed.
The earthquake was too strong, and it was coming up from Gluttony Purgatory.
Within four or five seconds, the entire Demon Box World began to shake violently!
Crack~
Suddenly, the ground split open. A blood-red eyeball burst out from the earth like a rising scarlet sun!
Xu Lang vaguely felt this eyeball looked familiar.
With his superhuman mental capacity, he instantly retrieved the relevant memory from his mind.
During the Blood Calamity, he had killed a player who disobeyed orders. This eyeball was a prop that player carried. At the time, he had sent the corpse straight to Gluttony Purgatory.
[Detection Eye activated. Target: Unknown red eyeball. Name: Eye of Mora. Contains powerful spatial power. Currently destroying and sealing the current spatial anomaly.]
After Xu Lang exhausted over a dozen detection skills, he was shocked to discover that the Demon Box World was rejecting him.
He was the master of the Demon Box World!
Just what rarity level was this giant eyeball in front of him?!
