Infinite Game - Start With SSS Rank Class-Chapter 128: Heart of the Angel

Selina’s mind gradually sank into darkness, her heart carrying an unbearable, unwilling frustration.

She didn’t want everything to end like this. She didn’t want to be this useless.

Her body trembled violently for a moment, as if struggling against fate, but then she lay still, no longer moving.

[Ding! Tenant of Room 2705 – Selina, has died, beginning... zzz...zzz...]

The mechanical voice had barely sounded when it was followed by a shrill burst of signal interference.

The time display floating high above suddenly froze.

On the ground, Selina’s shadow began spreading outward, forming a dark zone.

Zombie Angel seemed to recall an unpleasant memory and immediately retreated.

But at that moment, countless silver threads shot out from the shadow, binding it tightly and fixing it in midair.

Zombie Angel once again looked like a gift carefully wrapped. Even with three heads, six arms, and countless tentacles, it was still tightly restrained by those silver threads.

An eye opened right beneath Selina’s body. Its black iris completely enveloped her within it.

Then, a clump of braided hair formed into a hand of hair, stretching out from the dark curtain on the ground and shooting toward the zombie angel.

That hand grabbed the sphere on its body that was flickering with green light, then yanked it out of its body.

WOOO!!!!

Zombie Angel let out a miserable scream, then its body turned to stone, cracked, and crumbled into ash.

That hair-hand brought the green sphere close to Selina.

A strand of hair like a snake stabbed into Selina’s spine, then sliced a line from the back of her neck all the way to her butt.

Other strands of hair surged in, prying the cut open and exposing the body inside, her organs, spine, and countless blood vessels and nerves in terrifying clarity.

The hair-hand shoved the green sphere into the gap on Selina’s back.

The instant the sphere touched her spine, it immediately melted, spreading across all her organs.

"Ack! Ugh! Oh!"

Selina suddenly convulsed violently, strange sounds spilling from her mouth.

Her limbs, as if jolted by electricity, kept spasming.

Selina abruptly opened her eyes wide. A bizarre yet deathly green light shot from them.

Her body began to swell, like a balloon, growing bigger and bigger until her skin stretched taut and the tears in it became even more visible.

Blood poured from her eyes, nose, mouth, and ears like streams, dyeing her entire body red.

BAM!

Her body exploded into countless chunks of flesh, along with red liquid mixed with a strange green, splattering across the ground.

The darkness on the floor slowly dissipated, and the space returned to its quiet nature.

The simulated clock on the screen began moving again, and a notification appeared once more.

[Ding! Detected Tenant Selina has died, beginning the revival process.]

[Ding! Zombie Angel has died. Congratulations, the Tenant of Room 2705 has completed the mission. Hidden achievement unlocked – Zombie Angel.]

[Ding! Congratulations Survivor Rover – Owner of Room 2705, you have successfully defended this round.]

[Ding! Congratulations Survivor Selina – Tenant of Room 2705, you have successfully killed Zombie Angel.]

[Rewards will be sent to the Owner’s backpack. Please leave space to receive the rewards.]

[Rest time will be 12 hours starting now. After 12 hours, new notifications will be updated. Wishing all Survivors a pleasant rest.]

A series of notifications appeared, but Selina still couldn’t read them.

At that moment, the chunks of flesh on the ground suddenly turned into countless particles of light, slowly assembling together.

The first thing to reform was her heart. However, Selina’s heart now emitted a green glow, with strange white patterns on it.

Then her body gradually regenerated once more, becoming perfect as if nothing had ever happened.

Selina slowly opened her eyes, then immediately grabbed her sword. Her body snapped into a combat stance at once.

But... the surroundings were unbelievably quiet.

Selina frowned, scanning around, staying on guard, but after a few minutes, she still couldn’t find any trace of Zombie Angel.

"Strange... where did it go?" Selina muttered.

She raised her head, saw the information panel floating in midair, and jolted. "What?! Zombie Angel is dead? I killed it?"

Selina couldn’t believe what the System had announced. Even though it made no sense, at least Rover could sit at Rank 1.

On top of that, the System’s judgment that she had killed Zombie Angel also granted her an extra special reward.

Selina let out a long breath of relief, but she didn’t dare rest. She immediately dashed toward the gate ahead of her, her mind holding only a single thought.

’See him... I want to see him...’

...

Within the thick fog, a figure in a black cloak stood holding a scythe. A lamp hung from the scythe, emitting an eerie green light.

"Looks like... you’re like me too, not all that fair, huh?"

A masculine voice rang out.

Death Skeleton turned its head and saw a man in heavy mechanized armor. A helmet covered his entire face, and a lamp hung at his waist as he slowly walked toward it.

"Otrix, are you stalking me?" Death Skeleton said, its voice distorted and deep, like an echo from an abyss.

"Alright!" Otrix waved a hand, acting unconcerned, and laughed. "Don’t talk to me in that getup."

At that moment, a curtain of fire covered Death Skeleton’s body. Its appearance changed, becoming a woman, though her face couldn’t be seen clearly because her body was hidden under a black robe.

The scythe also transformed into a staff taller than her body. The lamp still hung from it, radiating green light that made the fog retreat.

"Livia, you want to place your bet on him too?" Otrix laughed, his voice carrying a hint of mockery. "I remember you even advised me to be fair, didn’t you?"

"Huh!" Livia snorted in disdain and said softly, "I just found a good seed. I don’t want that seed buried alive in this world’s madness, that’s all."

"Ah! You don’t want the seed wasted, so you decided to point the way to where the Angel’s Heart is placed? Great. Why don’t you become a con artist?"

"The Angel’s Heart has been dormant for a long time. No one has been suitable. I don’t want to waste it either. Besides, that girl and the Angel’s Heart are a perfect match. I believe she can fuse with it."

"Ah!" Otrix sneered. "She already got the Heart of the Underworld Angel. Now she’s also taking the Heart of the Angel of Judgment... tch, tch, tch. Are you creating a monster?"

"Maybe." Livia turned her head, her tone utterly indifferent. "But... the price is also very high. The Heart of the Underworld Angel won’t be so simple to fuse."

After saying that, she walked off into the distance. Otrix stayed where he was, shrugged, then muttered, "You saw it, right? Your son... he isn’t fighting alone."

After that, Otrix also entered the fog and vanished.

....

BAM!

"Fuck!" Felix smashed the glass cup in his hand, then lunged at Alan.

Alan jolted and backed away, but he was still caught by Felix and slapped hard across the face.

SLAP!

"Agh!" Alan fell to the ground and screamed like crazy. "Felix, fuck! Are you insane?"

"Yeah! I am insane!" Felix roared like a beast. "You useless piece of trash. You exist just to pollute the environment."

"Bastard! Felix, I’ll kill you!" Alan surged up, both hands grabbing Felix’s hair.

But Felix had gone through many rounds. His strength far surpassed a normal person’s by several times, so Alan was no match for him.

SLAP!

Felix swung his hand and slapped Alan so hard he crashed to the ground again. This time the slap was much heavier, and blood spilled from Alan’s mouth.

"Felix! You dare hit me?! Are you crazy?! I’m your brother!"

At this point, Felix couldn’t listen to a single curse from Alan anymore. In his heart, there wasn’t just regret and rage, he was so chaotic he was on the verge of going mad.

His original plan being ruined by that girl, he could accept. After all, she was a [Tenant]. She could go outside while all the [Owners] were locked in their rooms. That was something he could accept.

But after that, the monsters were too terrifying, so terrifying that he had to use the skip-round card.

Zombie Angel appeared, along with the notice that everyone could skip the round. At that moment, he regretted it so much he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

That meant he had wasted a skip-round card for nothing.

You had to know that kind of item, if sold on the market, would be worth at least over 20,000 gold coins.

However, its value couldn’t be measured by money. It was like a shield immune to death for one round, yet Felix had used it uselessly.

If he had held out just a bit longer, he wouldn’t have needed to use that precious item.

However, after seeing Zombie Angel’s power, he thought this would be a failed round. In a round where all Survivors failed, the rewards would be distributed evenly to everyone.

But he was wrong again.

Zombie Angel was killed.

Yes, not defended until the time limit, but killed.

The one who killed Zombie Angel, and the only one who cleared this round, was one of the people he wanted dead the most.

Felix ground his teeth as if he wanted to chew them into dust, snarling, "Rover! Fuck! One day, I’ll tear you into a hundred pieces!"
