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

Their minds began to wander, their bodies began to break down...

Melissa quickly activated her psychic powers, putting herself into a ghostly state unaffected by physical interference.

However, she soon discovered that her spirit body was shaking violently and becoming extremely unstable, as if it would dissipate at any moment.

Instinctively avoiding danger, she quickly transformed her spirit back into a physical form.

The enemy's attack was not just aimed at flesh and blood!

It can even interfere with the mind!?

Melissa gritted her teeth and, left with no other choice, activated a life-saving method she had never revealed to anyone.

Grade A item: Four-dimensional bug.

This is a life-saving item that can provide the user with immortality in an alternative way, covering the physical, mental, and conceptual levels.

It can interfere with four-dimensional time.

If a high-dimensional perspective existed, perhaps all the traces left by a three-dimensional object on the timeline, when connected together, would look like a long worm.

Time—the present self, the next second self, the next second self… countless selves combine to form one’s future.

The function of the A-grade item "Four-Dimensional Bug" is to distribute all the damage suffered by its owner equally to itself over a long period in the future.

The massive injury that takes effect instantly is broken down into smaller injuries that will continue to take effect over a long period of time.

Take the example of severing a head. After such an injury is divided into tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of parts, only a few muscle fibers may break every second.

This level of injury is so easy for a B-rank player to recover from with their self-healing ability... it's hardly even an injury.

With the help of healing items... Melissa is now unafraid of any fatal injury.

Even when faced with cursed, irreparable injuries, she was not afraid.

Because a curse is ultimately just a negative status effect, the healing items she carries have the function of removing negative status effects... unless it's an A-rank item that specializes in curses.

Melissa's flesh and blood mutated, and then she suddenly stopped.

She reactivated her psychic powers, transforming into a ghostly form—in this state, she could only be harmed by mental and conceptual attacks.

Although the A-grade item "Four-Dimensional Bug" can spread her injuries to the future, the injuries do not disappear; she needs to heal them slowly on her own.

For a long time to come, she would have to wear this item and wait for her injuries to heal second by second until they were completely gone, or at least mostly gone, before she could take the item off.

If she were to change the props now, she would probably mutate on the spot!

This is the flaw in this prop.

She must avoid accumulating too many injuries.

The injuries inflicted on her by a typical B-rank player would be equivalent to no injury if spread over a day.

All that's needed is to wait one more day for the injury to fully heal.

But this guy in front of her... that short attack caused her damage reduction time to skyrocket to over five days.

If we let him continue attacking... the A-grade item "Four-Dimensional Bug" has a limit to how long it can spread the damage.

Within the maximum length, the more injuries are distributed, the greater the injuries she will have to endure per unit of time.

If it gets too big, to the point that her recovery speed can't keep up... she will die on the spot.

Therefore, if possible, she needs to avoid suffering any more harm.

Becoming a ghost is a way to avoid damage.

"My defensive items were operating at full capacity, yet so many attacks still landed on me, forcing me to use the four-dimensional insect... This guy can unleash such a powerful attack so easily; he must have mastered an A-grade item, or even... an A-grade talent or psionic energy."

Melissa quickly made a judgment in her mind.

Her ghostly form moved with incredible speed, almost like teleportation, rushing towards Fan Xiao... or rather, drifting towards him.

This time, her soul remained very stable, completely unaffected by the surrounding chaotic fluctuations that could interfere with the mind—the injuries caused by these fluctuations were all equally distributed.

The next second, Melissa's mental response suddenly dropped by more than half, as if she had used some powerful psychic technique.

Across from him, Fan Xiao suddenly felt something strange inside his body—all his internal organs had detached from their original positions and moved into his stomach.

It was as if he had just eaten his own internal organs.

At the same time, pairs of pale, womanly hands grew out of his body and tore him into seventeen pieces in an instant.

His head was lifted up by a pale white hand and suspended in the air.

Melissa's ghost form grew larger and stood not far away, looking him in the eye.

Seeing that Fan Xiao's pupils were not dilated and his eyes were even moving, Melissa's face turned very gloomy.

This guy is really hard to kill!

Even after all that, he's still alive... Is that reasonable?

Fortunately, the other party had pretended to be dead to fool her at the beginning of the dungeon, so she was on guard.

Melissa immediately continued to expand her soul body, instantly enveloping Fan Xiao's head.

Mental intervention activated!

Bang! Fan Xiao's head suddenly exploded, bursting into a pile of eyeballs.

The eyeballs splattered everywhere, landing on the ground and walls, where they turned into blood and seeped into the ground.

"..."

Melissa felt a chill run down her spine, and a sensation of her Sanity plummeting... It had nothing to do with the aberration attack; she simply felt a sense of madness.

What a bizarre ability!

What kind of ability is this!?

At this moment, one by one, Fan Xiao suddenly emerged from the ground, walls, ceiling... from various locations in the corridor.

Some of them showed their entire bodies, while others only showed their heads.

The next second, all the Fan Xiaos spoke up in unison: "A B-level player can't possibly block my attack... Little girl, do you have an A-level item? Or, do you possess A-level psionic energy... No, A-level psionic energy doesn't perform this poorly."

"..."

Melissa felt a chill run down her spine for the second time!

Is she really fighting against players?

How come the opponent is even more bizarre than the boss of a supernatural dungeon?!

She had the feeling that she was facing an evil god from a horror novel.

"If you don't answer, I'll take that as a yes."

Fan Xiao chuckled in unison, "Look at your companions. I've already modified their bodies. Now, with just a thought, they'll... *bang*. If you understand, then behave yourself and stop making pointless resistance."

"..." Melissa said, "Threats have no effect on me! Elise and Malfoy are my loyal subordinates. They are proud of my dedication and ashamed of being a burden to me! I will respect their wishes and will not be threatened by anyone!"

“Really?” Fan Xiao said, “Then I’ll set one off for you, just like setting off fireworks.”

The next second, Malfoy suddenly screamed in agony as his body began to deform and swell.

"No!" Melissa cried out, trying to stop her. "What are you trying to do? If you dare lay a hand on them... I will kill you!"

"Oh? It seems my actions have caused you quite a few misunderstandings. You don't actually think I can't handle you now, do you?"

Fan Xiao's tone was tinged with contempt: "Judging from your behavior of immediately turning into a spirit after your injuries disappeared... hehe, being so timid, your A-grade item must not be very effective, right? It's just an A-grade item, I happen to have two of them too."

"..."

Melissa felt nervous.

Two... Grade A items?

What is this guy's identity?

"I'm not killing you, I'm just worried that a smaller sample size will delay the verification process."

Fan Xiao continued, "This behavior seems to have given you a false sense of confidence... In that case, let's just crush it."

time is limited.

He didn't use any A-grade items to test how the other party managed to save their life.

He gave the little angel a look.

The real Van Shaw was currently in the downstairs corridor, directly below Melissa.

The next second, thirty-two little angels appeared around Melissa's spirit and simultaneously unleashed a slash.

In that instant, the injury mitigation time reported by the A-grade item "Four-Dimensional Bug" increased dramatically!

This terrified Melissa, plunging her into a state of extreme panic.

What kind of attack is this?!

She quickly stepped back, preparing to take Malfoy and Élisabeth with her and force her way out.

However, in the increasingly distorted environment, she was interfered with by a strong storm of chaotic will, and like an ordinary person walking in water, her soul's movements became slower and slower.

Just five seconds later, injuries began to appear on her body—the duration of the A-grade item "Four-Dimensional Bug" reached its limit in just five seconds.

The overflowing injuries began to gradually manifest on Melissa's body.

Soon, excruciating pain, as if tearing her soul apart, assaulted Melissa's consciousness.

She immediately let out a scream and was forced back into physical form.

Seeing this, Fan Xiao increased the number of little angels to sixty-four.

Nearly four seconds later, Melissa collapsed to her knees, covered in wounds and on the verge of death.

The little angels stopped at Van Shaw's signal.

"Nine seconds... I take back what I just said. Your item is quite effective. It actually lasted for nine seconds in my hands. That's incredible."

Fan Xiao's voice rang out again—this time there was only one left; the others had all disappeared.

He continued, "None of the A-level players I've fought could do this, yet you did it... Heh, should I say you have reason to be proud?"

"..."

Melissa did not respond, kneeling on the ground trying to adjust to the dizziness and discomfort.

She's now just one hit away from being killed, her life completely tied to the "Four-Dimensional Bug" item—it might take her several months to recover from the shared injuries.

If she dared to remove this prop during this time, she would probably be reduced to dust on the spot.

All her pride and self-esteem were shattered in a mere nine seconds.

What kind of monster is that...?!

Is it really reasonable for players like this to appear in B-rank dungeons?

The next second, Fan Xiao moved in front of Melissa, grabbed the girl by the neck with one hand, and lifted her up.

Through touch, he quickly completed the modification of the other person's body... It took many times more effort than before.

“I see,” Fan Xiao laughed. “You transferred most of your injuries to other places? That’s quite an interesting prop.”

Then, he threw Melissa to the ground like he was throwing away trash.

Melissa gritted her teeth and glared at her: "Players aren't supposed to kill each other, so why didn't those law enforcement officers do anything about it...?"

At this point, she suddenly realized something and paused in her speech.

This demon in front of us has killed so many dungeon residents; the enforcement team should have reacted long ago.

There's been no movement at all... so it's highly likely they've already encountered and fought once.

Judging from the current situation, the enforcement team was likely wiped out.

How did this guy do that?

“You’re so capable, I can’t imagine what use we could be to you,” Melissa said, changing her tune. “Why force us to work with you?”

"You guys are indeed trash, but as players participating in the dungeon, we are equal in status and qualifications. We share certain commonalities granted by the dungeon, so how can we be useless?" Fan Xiao laughed. "For example, do you think a player's Ring of Love can be stolen by other players?"

Melissa: "..."

"For example, if the city lord doesn't respond, you'll have to go and explore the map for me after things are over here."

After saying this, Fan Xiao turned and walked forward, casually instructing, "Follow me."
