As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

Even if you don't understand the truth, Kasukabe Yao's nose will give you away as soon as you smell it.

The leader of the will-o'-the-wisps is a demon that manifests at the boundary between life and death. If that's the case, I can't handle it on my own. But this child is different. If that's the case, we can win this match.

While dodging Jack's attacks, Kasukabe Yo analyzed the current situation.

At this moment, Aisha, who had been sitting on the pumpkin head, suddenly seemed to realize something and exclaimed in surprise.

"Does that guy know where the exit is?"

In terms of speed, Kasukabe Yao has an overwhelming advantage, with the powerful legs of a leopard. Coupled with the intricate environment of the maze, it doesn't take long for him to widen the gap between himself and others and slowly move away. Moreover, Kasukabe Yao's senses can use the air currents from the outside to guide him to the correct route, so finding the exit of the maze is not difficult for him.

After chasing for some distance, Aisha was unable to gain the upper hand, which frustrated her greatly.

"Ugh, how annoying. I'm counting on you from now on. Get serious, Jack!"

"understood."

Just then, Jack's figure suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Kasukabe Yo.

"Excuse me, miss."

Jack slapped Kasukabe Yo, who had just landed and was still unsteady on her feet, sending her flying.

"Alright, let's go now, Aisha."

"I see."

"and many more!"

Seeing Aisha head towards the exit, Kasukabe Yao immediately wanted to chase after her, but just then Jack blocked her way, and this time, the flames Jack used turned red.

Seeing this, Kasukabe Yō seemed to have thought of something and said with some surprise:

"You are not...?"

"Yes, the great demon manifested at the boundary of life and death, a masterpiece created by Vera Za Igor Fatez, that is me, Jack the Lantern. Hahahaha... The flames of the will-o'-the-wisp are undoubtedly the flames of the demon. In order to make humans understand, we deliberately used scientific phenomena to send signals, just to let people know that corpses are buried there."

"And what was that just now...?"

Kasukabe Yō asked a question while dodging Jack's attacks.

"Aisha is an earth spirit who can manipulate natural gas. Originally a wandering, bound spirit, she was recruited into our community by our leader. By guiding wandering souls like Aisha, we have continuously expanded our existence and community. Alright, come on, girl with your own self-created system tree, you have me, the immortal monster, Jack the Lantern, to be your opponent."

Suddenly, Jack's figure disappeared again and reappeared in front of Kasukabe Yo. Two flames emerged from his lantern and surrounded Kasukabe Yo. The flames from hell suddenly ignited, and the entire tree hole space was engulfed in flames.

"This is the devil..."

The oppressive aura emanating from that fiery eyeball was stronger than that of every enemy Kasukabe Yo had faced since arriving in the Little Garden. This was the extraordinary individual of the race known as demons, recognized by the world as an independent lingering entity.

Kasukabe Yo gradually came to realize the reality before him.

Now that Aisha has left, the only way to achieve victory is to destroy Jack. However...

Immortal? If that's the case, it shouldn't be able to be destroyed...

Kasukabe Yo smiled bitterly as she looked ahead. Even without the condition of immortality, the opponent's Flame Eye had even seen through the power of the Catalogue of Life. Although the trump card that was originally hidden had been revealed, she still had no confidence in winning. She looked at the necklace hanging around her neck.

"Admit defeat."

As Kasukabe Yō announced his withdrawal, the entire scene crumbled into fragments and vanished.

"The victor is Aisha Ignifateth!"

Black Rabbit immediately declared Aisha the winner, and a cheer erupted from the sidelines.

"May I ask if you've considered leveraging your teammates' strengths in this competition?"

"that......"

"There's a hint of loneliness in your eyes. Since you're living in a community, there will often be times when you need to rely on others... Ah, I'm just a pumpkin, I've said too much. Hehehe..."

Immediately, Jack flew away. However, Kasukabe Yo seemed to have taken Jack's words to heart, as if he were deep in thought.

"Hey, I don't think you've won just like that. If we meet again next time, I, Lord Xia, will easily defeat you, understand? Remember that!"

Aisha seemed somewhat dissatisfied with winning so easily. Perhaps in her mind, Kasukabe Yao was a much stronger opponent. So, before leaving, Aisha said these words to Kasukabe Yao.

"Although that girl lost the match, it seems she still gained something!"

Looking at Kasukabe Yō's appearance from the audience, Shiroyasha said with some emotion.

"This is definitely a match worth watching. You guys have some great teammates."

Sandra stood up, looked at Kuon Asuka beside her, and said to her.

"You're really impressive, Kasukabe, aren't you? Izayoi-kun."

Kudo Asuka finished speaking and looked at Izayoi Sakamaki. However, she was puzzled because Izayoi Sakamaki seemed to be staring at something, and his expression was very serious.

"Hey, what's that?"

"what?"

Everyone looked in the direction that Izayoi Sakamaki was looking, and it turned out that, at some point, countless black contract documents had suddenly fallen from the sky.

Abigail casually took a document and looked at it. It read:

Gift Game Name: The Pied Piper of Hameln

Participants:

Currently, all participants and organizers in the outer gates 3999999 and 4000000, and the boundary wall stage area are part of a community.

The organizer of the competition designates a game leader:

The rovers of the sun, celestial spirits, white demons.

The organizer's conditions for judging the case: subduing or killing all participants.

Victory conditions for the contestant:

1: Defeat the game's organizers and leaders.

2: Shatter the fabricated lineage and reveal the true lineage.

Oath: We respect the above content and, based on the honor flag and the organizer's authority, will host the Gift Game.

Apart from Abigail, everyone present clearly saw this game that involved everyone.

At the same time, a commotion broke out in the surrounding area.

"Ah!! The Demon King, the Demon King has appeared!"

"Demon King, Demon King!"

"How dare you!"

White Demon shouted with a serious expression, but at that moment, a black wind suddenly swept up from around her.

"Lord White Demon!"

Sandra tried to go over, but the black wind seemed to have extremely powerful force, directly blowing everyone else on the field away.

"Izayoi!"

Black Rabbit and the others arrived at the side of Izayoi Sakamaki and Asuka Kudo.

"The Demon King has appeared, isn't that right?"

"Yes."

Black Rabbit nodded solemnly.

"Hahahaha!! White Demon, it looks like you can't play this game."

At this moment, besides White Yaksha, only Abigail remained in the audience. When the black wind suddenly spread, Abigail managed to hold herself in place and wasn't blown away. Now, she stood in front of White Yaksha, mocking him for being trapped in this layer of black wind.

“Abigail, it seems the other side was prepared. We might need your help this time. No matter what, we can’t let the Demon King ruin this festival.”

"No, what does this have to do with me? I'm just here to have fun. What good would it do me to do something like this?"

Abigail said nonchalantly that, to her, it was more interesting to see how these ordinary people struggled in the game than to let it end so quickly.

"However, I might as well go and fight the spotted loli."

Chapter 288 Formal Encounter

The location is 2000 meters above the boundary wall.

Four people stood on a protrusion of the boundary wall high in the sky.

One of them was a woman dressed in revealing white clothing. This woman, who had white hair and looked to be in her early twenties, was playing with a flute that was about the length of her arm in her right hand, looking down at the stage below.

"There should be three participants qualified to be our opponents, including that little girl Salamander, right, Weser?"

"No, two people. The pumpkin is not qualified to participate. The most troublesome one is the fire dragon of the level dominator, and we also need to deal with that fake rat catcher while we're at it."

A man dressed in a contrasting black military uniform, with short black hair and identified as Weser, responded to the woman in white's question.

The flute he held was different from the one held by the woman in white; its length was even the same as that of the tall man, which was clearly unusual for a musical instrument.

The third person's appearance was no longer human.

It has a smooth shape made of a material similar to pottery, and many ventilation holes are carved out all over its body. To give a simple example, this huge weapon, which is probably 50 meters long, is like an anthropomorphic flute with a particularly large ventilation hole on its face, which constantly emits strange sounds and vibrations to the surroundings.

A girl wearing a black and white polka-dot dress stood in the middle of the three.

After looking at the three faces, the girl announced in a flat tone devoid of emotion:

"Let the game begin. Proceed according to the plan."

"Alright! What should we do with this nuisance?"

"You can kill him now."

"Yes, my master!"

............

"Hey, look! That!"

In the arena, Kasukabe Yō, who had the best eyesight, suddenly pointed towards the boundary wall and shouted.

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed and saw several points of light falling from above.

"You've arrived! I'll leave the city's unrest and the White Demon's matter to you."
