Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

Moreover, Charles fell, but she did not receive any item inheritance notification from the evolution game.

There are only two possibilities given this situation.

Either the opponent's item slots are all empty, and they haven't equipped any items.

Or... the other party wasn't dead at all.

Chapter 459 Fan Xiao's "Unlucky" Days

Of the two possibilities, the probability that Charles is not dead is the highest.

With its all-around strong defense, super-fast self-healing, ability to create illusionary spaces, and golden binding ropes, this bastard has already shown quite a few abilities; it's impossible that it didn't have any props to assist it.

Cassandra suppressed her dizziness and weakness, and mustered her strength to think calmly.

“Immortality…it doesn’t quite seem like it. His body has collapsed, his brain is damaged, and his breathing and heartbeat have stopped. He looks like he’s really dead.”

"But he wasn't completely dead, otherwise I would definitely have received a notification about the item inheritance..."

The enemy's abilities... are very strange.

Cassandra's mind raced, but she couldn't analyze the relevant information for the time being.

After a moment's thought, she decided to make another move.

Whether this bastard is really dead or faked it, if he wants to play her... he should destroy the body first!

My psychic powers and talents are temporarily unusable. In such a weakened state, the double burden on my lifespan and mental strength is no joke.

With this in mind, Cassandra immediately changed her attack weapon.

[Rank B Item - Blessing of Decaying Black]

The Life Council, composed of the elemental gods, has existed in the Kingdom of Order for over a thousand years. The green of all things, the red of all beings, the black of decay… the elemental gods have built a complete life system, firmly binding themselves to the people of the Kingdom of Order. Both sides benefit from this mutual relationship, achieving perfect coexistence.

The life system built by the elemental gods provided the people with the opportunity to use magic; the people's faith, in turn, nourished the elemental gods, allowing them to gain immortality by binding themselves to human history, while their power also increased day by day.

As the ties between the two sides grew closer, some lucky individuals emerged among the people of the Kingdom of Order. They were born with the blessings of the elemental gods and became chosen ones who were born with the ability to wield elemental power.

[Note 1: After equipping this item, you can transfer varying degrees of decaying power to living or non-living targets through direct or indirect contact.]

[Note 2: You have one chance per day to deliver an instant-kill attack by directly contacting the target. The success rate of the instant-kill judgment depends on the difference in evolution rate between you and the target.]

[Note 3: You have one chance per year to cast "The Descent of the Corrupted Kingdom," which can cover an area of ​​100 kilometers. Within this area, half of the life forms with an evolution rate below 10% will randomly die and rise again. Those that have already died but still have some corpses will also crawl out of their graves, creating a necromantic catastrophe.]

This item was a reward she received from the previous dungeon.

Since her player level was raised to C, she has only received an A-rank dungeon rating once—that is, she got lucky and obtained an A rating by taking advantage of the super abnormal dungeon last time, and received the [Blessing of Decaying Black].

To be honest, her feelings were quite complicated.

Getting an A rating in a C-rank dungeon for the first time, and even obtaining a B-rank item, brought double the joy... But all of this came from the help of a pervert.

She felt a sense of rejection and resentment.

Actually, she clears dungeons very quickly every time.

However, she is a "smooth-push" type of player. With the spiritual energy bestowed by God and a high-level talent, the dangers in C-rank dungeons can hardly harm her. She can push through them all, and even if she encounters a more serious situation and suffers some injuries, she can still get through it.

This resulted in her dungeon ratings consistently being quite low.

Moreover, in order to save time, she usually only completes one instance of the dungeon before choosing to exit.

After all, there are many things waiting for her to do in the real 019 division, and she doesn't have much time to waste in the dungeon.

Over such a long period of time, the items she acquired were only slightly better than those of the average player.

Because she rarely uses items, she has never deliberately pursued high dungeon ratings in order to obtain better items.

As for props, she basically followed the principle of "enough is enough".

The sudden acquisition of a B-grade item in the last dungeon was quite a pleasant surprise for her.

She was still quite happy.

But when she thought about how this happiness came from the help of the pervert... she forced herself to maintain a cold attitude and not keep the equipment as a permanent prop.

Now she couldn't care less about her awkward feelings. After changing the props, she immediately murmured, "The blessing of decaying black."

At that moment, the prop was activated.

She communicated with and controlled the forces of decay.

However, she did not immediately approach Charles's body to touch it—if there was a trap, although she would not be injured due to the protection of her A-level psychic energy, once the psychic energy was passively triggered, her mental weakness would rapidly worsen, causing her condition to continue to decline.

In the worst-case scenario, she might have to flee before the deadline.

Therefore, we still need to be vigilant in this regard.

Fortunately, the "Blessing of Decaying Black" can transmit the power of decay through indirect means.

This method is less effective and cannot deliver a one-time instant-death attack per day, but it is safer and more convenient.

The next second, Cassandra's palm touched the air, conveying an invisible decay.

The decaying power immediately spread into the air, but controlled by her will, it did not spread further; instead, it all surged towards Charles's fallen body.

Standing on the same ground and in the same atmosphere, as long as the distance is not too far, it is considered "indirect contact" as defined by this prop.

She had already tested this in private.

Soon, Charles's body was infused with the power of decay, rapidly weathering, disintegrating, and dissolving, leading to utter death.

Crack—its corpse, like some dry and brittle substance, split into small pieces. Most of the fragments quickly turned into ashes, with only a few fragments remaining.

Cassandra frowned as she looked at the remaining fragments and found that they looked like rotten wood, and even the smell they emitted was similar, rather than rotting flesh.

"Wood... my props don't have this material transformation effect. It's that bastard Charles's doing!"

"What exactly did he do? Why isn't he dead yet, even after all this?"

A strong sense of doubt arose in Cassandra's mind.

The scene before us can no longer be explained by "immortality".

Even a B-grade item that grants immortality, allowing a player to survive even after their entire body is completely destroyed... even their brain is completely damaged, cannot do what it does now, where they are rotten to the point of being reduced to a few small fragments, yet still manage to survive.

Unless it involves A-level immortality items at the conceptual level.

Charles couldn't possibly have an A-grade item!

Even A-level players rarely obtain A-level items in dungeons, and even if some do circulate in the market, they are quickly snapped up by A-level players.

In their quest for A-grade items, some A-grade players would even recklessly slaughter the massive merchant guilds in various districts.

Cross-node robbery does happen...

Even if a lucky person manages to obtain an A-level item before reaching A-level, they generally wouldn't dare to use it—if they were seen using it once and the news spread, there's a high chance it would attract A-level players to kill them and steal the item.

This is not a joke.

Because of this common sense, Cassandra was more inclined to believe in other possibilities.

"Could it be that Charles, who is attending the banquet... is just an avatar?"

"His mansion is quite far from here... Can a clone use the main body's items?"

Cassandra frowned, sensing something was amiss.

Of course, it doesn't necessarily have to be a clone.

It could also be an item with other effects.

Thinking about this, Cassandra suddenly realized a rather serious problem—if Charles was not dead, and his true form was not in the banquet hall, or had already left the banquet hall… then where would he have gone?

Will he return to his own residence?

Instantly, Cassandra was gripped by panic—her teacher had sent a number of C-rank players to Charles's mansion to eliminate Charles's trusted subordinates.

If Charles were to appear at the mansion at this moment, the Holy Sword Alliance members who had been sent there would be in danger.

It's even possible that the entire team could be wiped out there!

“Dealing with Charles is my mission, because my mistake could kill many people…”

"No! This must never happen again!"

Cassandra was extremely anxious, so much so that she gritted her teeth.

Ignoring her mental and physical weakness, she once again used her psychic powers to enter a false time, quickly passing through the scattering crowd in the banquet hall and running towards the outside of the mansion.

She began to travel at full speed, wishing she had a teleportation device so she could reach Charles's mansion as quickly as possible.

Must catch up!

At this moment, Cassandra could no longer care about expending all her mental energy to maintain her psychic powers, or whether she would still have the strength to deal with Charles after arriving at her destination.

If all else fails, we can use items to fight.

We must not allow her mistake to cause heavy casualties among our companions.

She really didn't want to go through that again.

Unfortunately it backfired.

Because she has consumed a significant portion of her lifespan in a short period of time, her current condition has severely declined, and her mental energy is being depleted exponentially when she uses psionic energy.

She had only traveled for less than a minute when her already weakened spirit completely gave way—she knew she would soon automatically exit the false time.

Cassandra had to expend her lifespan to first turn the journey she had already traveled into reality.

After exiting the virtual time, she looked around, roughly determined her location, and realized that she had only covered less than a quarter of the journey.

Normally, she would be in good condition and getting from the banquet hall to Charles's residence would not be a problem—in fact, it's as if she arrived instantly, and there was plenty of time to rescue her.

That's no longer possible.

Cassandra gritted her teeth, took out a large amount of healing and mental recovery potions from her storage space, drank them all at once, and then dragged her already exhausted body to continue her journey.

Must catch up!

Please, please, nothing unexpected happens!

at the same time.

After leaving the outer city and traversing many streets, Vanshaw and Alpha, through repeated asking for directions, finally arrived at Charles's mansion.

Not every passerby will cooperate and answer his questions.

Especially the high-class citizens in the central urban area, one by one, showed contemptuous eyes when they saw his travel-worn appearance.

If it weren't for the pretty girl beside them, they wouldn't have bothered to answer any of their questions.

Fan Xiao naturally wouldn't slowly build relationships and have leisurely conversations with these "Celestial Dragons." He would drag anyone he met into an empty alley, beat them up, force-feed them a truth serum, and only then would he begin questioning them.

After that, he launched the "Land of the Dead," which allowed these people to permanently forget their misfortunes without causing any unrest—he was truly kind, making these people forget their painful memories.

"The Land of the Vanished Gods" is an item whose effects are subtle and silent. When it takes effect, its power is invisible, so he is not afraid that his junior sister will monitor and recognize his identity.

Long before entering the A9 base, he had already put all the props on his body that required him to say the name into operation, and continuously devoted a portion of his mind to communicating with these props to maintain their operation without interruption—since he knew that he was going to be acting and there was no possibility of saying the props' names, he had naturally simulated and anticipated this long ago.

So he made sure everything was done perfectly in advance.

Fan Xiao felt that even if he wasn't so cautious, his junior sister wouldn't be able to find out anything.

The Holy Sword Alliance launched a... if he wasn't mistaken, decapitation strike at the A9 base.

The goal is to kill the B-level players and other incompetent leaders within the base, and seize control of the base.

Junior Sister is most likely going to fight against B-level players, so she can't possibly have the mind to constantly monitor his and Alpha's actions.

Of course, speculation is speculation, but he has been carefully maintaining his persona and has not revealed any flaws.

As for whether his beating up people and feeding them truth serum will be captured by the hidden surveillance cameras inside the base...

After tonight, A9 Base will have a new owner.

So if they took the picture, they took the picture; it's no big deal.

"Lord Van Helsing, this mansion is beautiful."

Alpha looked at the luxurious manor house in front of him and began to pay attention to the details of its architectural style.

Fan Xiao then focused his attention on the details of the sound—silence…it’s too quiet here!

Despite his excellent hearing, he couldn't hear a single sound coming from inside the mansion, which was clearly abnormal.
