Why is my journey to the world of anime a strange tale of rules?

Then, the flesh monster's power began to increase.

The strength of the Dark Night Core level has increased to a level comparable to, or even approaching, that of a Red Moon level monster, far exceeding the upper limit of the strength that the Bright and Darkness Squad can handle.

However, Yan Hui did not immediately take this crisis seriously.

Because she had clearly realized from the scene she had just witnessed that the core obsession of this instance was actually deliberately left behind by a more powerful being. Furthermore, to ensure the stability of this core obsession and prevent it from being conquered by players, that being had significantly increased its strength, giving it a power level completely incompatible with the current instance.

How is this possible?

Could that monster that once existed here, that I couldn't see, actually be...?

"careful!"

Boom——

The power of the crimson domain erupted in an instant, blocking the invisible attack for Yan Hui.

Once she came to her senses, Yan Hui realized the perilous situation she was in, so she immediately stepped back, trying to leave the place, and used the power of her blessings and obsessions to try to control the changes in light and darkness.

"puff--"

Then, because the power she tried to control involved that fleshy monster, she suffered a backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood and almost fainting on the spot.

"The mental link has been severed! We can't fight this thing! We have to get out of here immediately!"

Lin Sen had intended to speak through the temporary mental link, but discovered that the link had broken at some point. Realizing what this meant, Lin Sen's expression changed drastically. He shouted and threw out an offensive object of his consciousness, but the object was grabbed and dragged into the spreading blood by an arm, instantly losing its effect.

The Dark Night-level obsession was directly nullified?!

Upon seeing this scene, Lin Sen's eyes widened, and then he saw a bloody hand appear out of thin air in front of him and grab down.

boom--

The power of the Crimson Domain erupted once again.

The bloody handprint that appeared out of nowhere was blown away and disappeared without a trace.

Then, after only a second or two, it reappeared and quickly approached every player present.

Rumble, rumble——

The power of the Crimson Domain was triggered continuously, and the fragments of the Crimson Domain carried by everyone were rapidly consumed. The attacks came wave after wave without any pause. During this process, the fleshy monster standing on the stage didn't even pay attention to the fleeing players, simply staying in place and howling in agony.

tread!

Qin Shou, who was running at the front, had already reached the door at the edge of the venue. He swung the explosive hammer and smashed it down hard, sending the hammer flying and revealing the corridor behind it.

boom! ! !

Meanwhile, Lake, who was covering the rear, fired a shot that struck the massive fleshy monster, causing it to pause slightly, and the bloody handprints that had been chasing the players also disappeared briefly.

"Hurry up and act fast!"

Shouting this, Yan Hui pulled Cui Qiushui and ran all the way, taking out several other offensive items to barely buy time with Lake.

The group quickly ran into the passage, but the enormous monster, whose body had swelled to over five meters in length, showed no intention of giving chase and simply stood there howling to itself.

Is it possible to escape?

Such a question crossed Yan Hui's mind.

Qin Shou, who was at the very front, had already reached the door at the end of the corridor and smashed it open with a hammer.

So the players returned to the venue, and countless drops of blood were converging on the only door in the venue. The blood was mixed with countless eyeballs, tongues, entrails and hair, all looking at the players and trying to wriggle and touch them.

"Spatial anomaly! A locked space has formed here; we can't get out!"

Qin Shou's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but shout.

"Don't give up, it's not time to despair yet!"

As Lake shouted, he fired another shot, causing the monster standing on the stage to stagger. As a core-level artifact of Dark Night, this thing was quite powerful, enough to cause trouble for that enormous monster.

That's why he became the first player to be noticed.

whoosh-

By the time he realized it, the shattered flesh had already swallowed up the spot where the man had been standing.

Lake only had time to glance back at his teammates before he was torn apart by the flesh and blood and devoured by the writhing creatures.

pat!

The unused Springfield rifle and the white flower lay on the ground, in the writhing, spreading blood.

Unexpectedly, the first casualty of the Minghui squad in this operation was revealed to everyone.

Yan Hui had already seen that after completing this harvest, the huge monster that had been standing still had slowly turned around and looked towards the players.

Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Squad's Final Actions and the New Arrival.

It might really have to be sent here today.

Yan Hui couldn't help but have this thought in her heart.

The nauseating stench of blood spread like wildfire, and the surrounding space was completely sealed off, trapped in a closed loop with no way to escape.

While the power of the Crimson Domain could counteract the creature's attacks, it was insufficient against a monster that had truly reached the Red Moon level; merely repelling it was of little use. On the contrary, its continuous attacks created an increasingly heavy burden, severely depleting the fragments carried by everyone.

It's fair to say that if Gao Hai hadn't given everyone a final boost of energy before the communication was cut off, the initial contact alone would have been enough to deplete all the Blood Domain fragments everyone was carrying, leading to a collective wipeout.

However, even though they can still hold on, they have no way to defeat the enemy in front of them, and they can't even escape.

[Ahhh... Ahhhhh...]

The monster, constructed from twisted flesh, was howling.

"Ugh...uh..."

A powerful mental erosion spread through the minds of every player present, causing them to cry out in pain at that moment.

The writhing blood had already slowly spread over.

"Everyone...avoid that thing's gaze...don't let it see you..."

At that moment, Lin Sen gritted his teeth and shouted, and blew his whistle once again.

Amidst the ear-piercing sound, the enormous, monstrous creature, which had already turned its gaze toward Yan Hui, paused slightly. The surging flesh and blood also changed direction, spreading rapidly toward Lin Sen at an unstoppable speed, and swallowing him up in the blink of an eye.

The crimson domain shone brightly, but it was no match for the frenzied flesh and blood, which quickly shattered. Lin Sen, who had lost his protection, was crushed in less than a second, completely pulverized from flesh to bone.

The two teammates left the field in less than two minutes.

If it were the true, complete power of the Crimson Domain, it might have a different effect. However, in order to spread this power as much as possible, what the players currently possess are merely fragments. These fragments might have a suppressive effect in Twilight and Dark Night level dungeons, but once the monster's power level is raised to the Crimson Moon level, it begins to have the problem of not being able to completely suppress the enemy. And this monster, which should have been at the Dark Night Core level but was endowed with the strength of the Crimson Moon level by some unknown entity, has already exceeded the limit that the fragments they possess can withstand.

"Have you found a way out?!"

As Yan Hui wandered among the rows of seats, resisting the intense mental pollution while avoiding the gaze of the giant monster, she shouted and asked.

"No, we can't find it! This place seems to be completely enclosed, or the path might be inside the wall, leaving no trace from the outside!"

Qin Shou was also struggling to hold on, searching along the edge of the underground venue, but he could not find any escape routes or similar places.

However, it would be perfectly normal for such a path to not exist. After all, most of those who came here in the first place ended up dead. Therefore, the concept of an escape route would naturally cease to exist.

In other words, they are completely trapped in this place and have no way to escape.

"...Is this my end?"

Realizing that there were probably no other possibilities at the moment, Yan Hui said softly, her expression showing a hint of relief.

From the moment I first entered the "Sacrifice Game" to the present day, how many times have I faced life-or-death situations, and how many times have I gone through arduous struggles?

In the end, did it all stop here?

Staring at the writhing, twisting blood that had covered more than half the venue, Yan Hui instinctively wanted to fight back, but she couldn't find any way to do so. At this point, all she could do was retreat step by step and try to avoid the blood as much as possible.

What an ugly ending, being eaten alive by fleshy monsters and stuff.

However, if humanity wins this war in the end, maybe I will be remembered as a hero?

This seems like a good thing, at least much better than being forgotten by the whole world.

Thinking of this, Yan Hui chuckled softly, her expression becoming more composed.

She is not afraid of death.

As a player nearing the Red Moon level, Yan Hui had experienced the feeling of near death more than once, and knew very well that even the strongest player could be defeated by the ever-changing monsters. In this [Sacrifice Game], where fairness was never an option, no player could guarantee a continuous victory. Of course, Mr. Gao Hai was likely an exception; he was simply too legendary, reaching a near-godlike level in just over three months as a player. Such a person was beyond the scope of the word "player."

So, it seems today is the last day.

It's a bit of a pity; I was hoping my exit would be more spectacular.

But since I've chosen to stand up, I won't regret my decision.

Yan Hui's steps as she dodged the flesh and blood gradually slowed down.

After realizing that she could not possibly break out of her current predicament, Yan Hui was already somewhat inclined to give up.

Since there's no way to avoid death, it's better to accept it; it might even be faster that way.

But as she was thinking this, a figure suddenly pounced on her, carrying her away from the writhing flesh once again.

It was Cui Qiushui, the teammate in charge of healing.

"My mental strength is insufficient, Captain, please take my domain fragment."

As she said this, Cui Qiushui handed her phone to Yan Hui.

"you……"

Although being rescued suddenly was somewhat unexpected, Yan Hui immediately realized from the expression on Cui Qiushui's face that the other party might want to do something.

“The fragments of the Crimson Domain can record information. Although we can’t escape, we can try to find the location of its core obsession. The obsession of this kind of fused monster is usually not far from the corpse. If we look carefully, we might be able to find it! At that time, even if we all die here, we can record this key information on the domain fragments and provide informational assistance to those who come after us!”

Clearly, Cui Qiushui had already planned her actions, and she spoke to Yan Hui in a calm tone.

"...Have you made up your mind?"

After listening to what the other person said, Yan Hui remained silent for a few seconds before finally asking this question.

"Yeah, let's do it this way, there's no other choice anyway."

Cui Qiushui, who had already handed over her domain fragments, spoke magnanimously and casually tossed her usual obsession spray to Yan Hui. Then she turned around and rushed directly towards the surging blood.

Under the spotlight, beneath the stage where blood was gushing, yet another player silently vanished into the writhing blood.
