Infinite Game - Start With SSS Rank Class-Chapter 127: Am I… this useless?

Eyes appeared across the darkness that covered the entire hallway. Those eyes looked like messy scribbles drawn by a child, only black and white, moving like a slow-motion 2D cartoon.

Even so, they radiated an unbelievable sense of eerie, unnatural strangeness.

The three Zombie Angels were tightly bound by thin threads as fine as hair, forced to stand still. Their bodies were bound so tightly that even their tentacles were bundled up, and the裂 on their chests were forcibly sealed shut by those thin threads.

From the wide-open eyes, long arms stretched out like tentacles, black as ink, with drops of black liquid dripping from them.

They grabbed the three Zombie Angels and, with a terrifying amount of strength, pulled them taut.

Crack! Crack!

The sound of flesh tearing and bones snapping rang out. The bodies of the three Zombie Angels were ripped apart little by little, and the torn chunks of flesh were stuffed into the surrounding open eyes.

Inside the room, the cursed doll’s face suddenly split open where its mouth should have been.

The doll opened its mouth. There were rows of fangs on the top and bottom, but inside wasn’t a tongue, it was an eye.

That eye stared outward, its pupil narrowing into a diamond shape like a beast’s.

Then, a stream of smoke slipped in from outside through the gaps of the door and was sucked into that eye.

This bizarre scene made no one in the room dare to move, and no one dared to speak.

They could only stare at the TV screen and the doll absorbing that white smoke.

Outside, the three Zombie Angels were almost completely shredded and swallowed by the surrounding eyes. Only their upper bodies remained, connected to three spheres that flickered with green light like signal lamps.

At that moment, from those three green-glowing spheres, countless small tentacles poured out, tightly binding their bodies together, then charging toward the gate leading to the [Destination Point].

Those arms gradually withdrew back into the eyes, and then the eyes closed. The darkness slowly dissipated, leaving behind a hallway so terrifyingly quiet it was as if nothing had ever happened.

Inside the room, the doll had absorbed a massive amount of white smoke. Then it floated back in front of Monica and dropped onto the table with a thud, no longer moving.

Silence...

The atmosphere was so quiet they could hear each other’s breathing and heartbeat.

After a while, Rover stammered, "Is it... over?"

Nanoe dropped to the floor. What they had just seen was far too visually shocking.

Those arms had ripped the three Zombie Angels apart. Even a horror movie probably wouldn’t be that horrific.

[Ding! Congratulations on passing wave 10, Zombie Angel. Please wait for the [Tenants] to complete their part. The longer the Tenants hold out, the greater the rewards.]

A System notification suddenly appeared. Seeing it, Rover finally let out a long breath of relief.

He also slumped down onto the floor, but then he said anxiously, "No, it’s not over yet. Selina is still there."

Nanoe comforted him. "Don’t worry. Tenants can revive. Selina definitely won’t be stupid enough to let herself die or get into too much trouble."

Rover nodded lightly. "I hope so!"

...

The [Destination Point] zone.

At this moment, the [Tenants] had also received the notification to stay or give up, and their answers were exactly like the Survivors. Almost all Tenants chose to give up.

In the vast space, only Selina remained, standing still with her foil sword in hand, her mood uneasy and anxious.

She also wanted to give up, but she reconsidered.

If she held out longer, then she could help Rover receive more rewards from the System.

Besides, even if she died, she could revive. So she chose to stay.

Narok couldn’t endure the pressure and had already left.

Selina muttered, "I wonder how Master is right now. Did he safely get through this round..."

She felt her heart pounding nonstop, like it was about to jump out of her chest.

At that moment, a dark shadow suddenly rushed into the zone, startling her.

Selina retreated a step, staring tensely at the shadow.

The three Zombie Angels, with only their upper bodies remaining, gradually fused together, then became one. Six arms, three heads, and from the waist down, countless blood-vein tendons wrapped around a sphere glowing with green light.

From its torn-open belly, countless tentacles stretched out, supporting it, while behind it were two wings stitched together from wriggling human arms.

Seeing that unnatural creature, Selina jolted and muttered, "What the hell is that?"

[Ding! The timer has started. The longer you hold out, the greater the reward. If you want to leave, just say ’Give up’. Have fun.]

Seeing the notification, along with a huge timer display floating high above, Selina took a deep breath.

At this moment, she seemed to calm down. Her breathing steadied, and her face returned to an icy coldness.

She gripped the foil sword tightly, her eyes locked on that creature that should never exist in this world. Her mind held no thoughts other than how to face it.

WOOO!!!

A sound like an alarm siren rang out, turning into countless shockwaves that slammed toward Selina.

She jolted and hurriedly swung her sword, drawing a circle in front of her. A dazzling light flared, forming a thin screen to shield her from that piercing noise.

BANG!

The sonic waves crashed in and easily shattered that flimsy barrier. Like a tide, they slammed into her, drowning her in that horrifying sound.

"AGH!!" Selina gritted her teeth and clamped both hands over her ears. Blood poured from her nose, ears, and mouth in small streams.

Her vision began to blur, and her mind started sinking into darkness. But right then, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to stay conscious.

The hand holding her sword immediately hurled it forward with all her strength.

WHOOSH!

A sharp whistle tore through the air. Selina’s power was so terrifying that the sword turned into an arrow, shooting straight toward the zombie angel, ripping through the shockwaves spreading around it.

The sword flew closer and closer to the裂 in its chest. At that moment, a tentacle shot out...

KLENG!

Selina’s sword was knocked away, but at the same time, the noise vanished.

Selina didn’t dare pause. She immediately flicked her hand, and the sword that was flying backward suddenly stopped, then shot back toward her.

She caught the hilt precisely. Her body became like an arrow released from a bow, charging straight at the zombie angel.

Selina slashed out a streak of light. A dazzling sword arc surged forward, but it was blocked by tentacles.

She didn’t stop, hoping she could trigger that tiny chance, the 2% probability to activate the instant-kill effect [Judgment].

At that moment, a tentacle swept toward Selina. She gritted her teeth, ducked, and avoided it, but another tentacle swept in right after.

Whoosh!

The tentacle tore through the air, its friction creating a terrifying howl of wind, then slammed straight into her abdomen.

BANG!

"Agh!!" Selina screamed. It felt like her stomach was about to explode. She was blasted backward like a falling leaf and crashed to the ground.

"Cough!!"

Selina coughed up a mouthful of blood. Her face twisted in agony, tears spilling from her eyes.

Her beautiful face was now utterly miserable, smeared with blood and pale as an anemic patient.

She clenched her teeth and used her sword like a cane to prop herself up.

The tentacles didn’t let Selina go. They immediately reached for her again.

Selina tried to dodge while slashing at the tentacles. Every strike carried the hope that the tiny 2% chance to trigger [Judgment] would activate.

She twisted her body, trying to evade them, but there were too many. At that moment, a tentacle wrapped tightly around her left arm, and then...

CRACK! SMASH!!

"AGH!!!"

Her left arm was torn off. Fresh blood and shredded flesh sprayed everywhere. A section of shoulder bone jutted out, and torn muscle bundles dangled at the ripped edge.

Selina howled in pain. Tears poured like rain. Her face contorted into something terrifying, cold sweat bursting out like she’d been drenched.

She dropped to her knees. Blood from the torn arm gushed like a waterfall, her body shaking violently.

That tentacle wrapped around her arm, brought it to the裂 on the zombie angel’s chest, then shoved it inside.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The sound of bone and flesh being crushed rang out. The teeth inside the裂 on the zombie angel’s chest were like a grinder, instantly pulverizing her entire arm into mush and swallowing it.

Whoosh!

A sharp whistle came. Selina jolted, knowing what was coming. She lifted her head, and then...

BANG!

A tentacle struck her chest, sending her flying backward more than five meters before she stopped. Blood kept spewing from her mouth. Her eyes slowly rolled back, and her breathing grew weaker and weaker.

In her fading vision, the zombie angel’s tentacles reached toward her like the scythe of the god of death, about to harvest her life.

Selina forced herself to glance up at the huge timer above.

Only three minutes had passed.

Just three minutes, yet it felt like an entire hour had gone by.

’Three minutes... then Master won’t get a good reward,’ Selina thought. ’I... I have to... try harder...’

At that moment, what she cared about wasn’t her own life, but Rover. She wanted to move, but her body no longer obeyed her.

Her vision grew dimmer and dimmer. Her mind began falling into darkness.

’Am I... this useless?’
