Chapter 798: Chapter 400 Lin Xue Being Rejected_1

"Be careful!"

The fire spears came quickly and urgently. By the time people reacted and desperately tried to dodge, it was too late. Some werewolves were directly hit by the fire spears, blown back, with more werewolves singed by the residual flames and themselves catching alight. Few werewolves managed to escape the impact.

The werewolves all recoiled in surprise. Had the figure been biding his time all this while, and was now launching an attack in this crucial final stage?

However, the subsequent attacks they expected did not come.

After launching one attack and injuring a large number of werewolves, Mu You’s speed suddenly increased dramatically, and he shook off the pack of wolves, sprinting towards the front.

"Chase him!" The Tyrant quickly ordered, and a group of wolves disinterestedly nursed their injuries and hurried in pursuit.

By this time, the distance between Mu You and the pack of wolves had widened to nearly 300 meters. However, this distance was already the limit of the Wolf King aura. If he continued to increase the distance, he would be outside the aura’s effect and his speed would decrease sharply, allowing the pursuers to catch up.

So, both sides could only maintain this difference in distance as they continued the chase.

At the same time, the gap between them and the lead group was visibly narrowing.

The Tyrant silently exchanged a glance with the fair-skinned youth.

The youth nodded back. It was almost time for the most critical moment, it was time to start making preparations!

During the chase, the two men silently issued a series of secret instructions to their respective order-givers within the group.

After another ten minutes of pursuit, the distance between the group and the pack of wolves ahead had been shortened to within 1,500 meters.

Meanwhile, the vast square at the centre of the final area finally came into view!

On the extremely wide stone square, empty and devoid of any buildings, an altar stood at the centre.

A hundred meters away from the altar, a large boundary expanded from the ground like a bowl turned upside down, encompassing the altar and the surrounding hundred-meter radius within it.

At that time, at the centre of the altar, a multi-faceted colored crystal stone floated above the altar, swaying up and down.

The Legacy Crystal - a symbol representing the absolute ownership of a Sky City - was blatantly exposed to everyone. Any fool who saw it could hardly control the desire to touch it.

"Move!"

Clearly, it was the most crucial moment now. With a roar from the Tyrant at the rear, all the troops of Blood Dawn began to march according to plan.

The first wave of more than twenty werewolves accelerated again, each of them with eyes filled with greed, hurriedly stepping into the square and rushing straight towards the distant boundary.

Meanwhile, the second wave of hundreds of werewolves at the back came to a halt and quickly surrounded Lin Xue and her group. The encirclement was full of holes, but even if it could delay them for a second during this race against time, it was still worth it.

As the werewolves moved, Lin Xue swiftly summoned the Grim Reaper’s shadow.

Although the defense of the Grim Reaper’s skin was near invincible, it was a weak point in terms of speed. As the Titan appeared, it quickly broke through the werewolves’ encirclement like a bulldozer. However, catching up with the pack of wolves ahead was nearly impossible.

As the pack of wolves in front began to act, the Tyrant and others from the rear also launched themselves at the Ghost Captain at the same time, unleashing prepared attacks on Mu You.

Mu You, of course, was well aware of this. Due to his ability to reverse time, all the movements of the werewolves were within his anticipation.

"Just about right..."

Mu You estimated the distance and made his calculation.

The moment the werewolves at the rear began to act, Mu You immediately teleported out, leaving all their attacks to hit empty air.

As he landed, he didn’t pause, quickly switching to his vampire skin and activating ’godspeed’ on the spot.

Everything around him suddenly slowed down.

Under 360 times acceleration, he had ample time to assess the situation.

At this moment, he was about 1,300 meters away from the boundary on the square. By now more than twenty werewolves had charged into the boundary’s hundred-meter radius,

However, no matter how forward these people were, in the end, only one person could enter the boundary with the fragment.

In other words, everyone else was just a smokescreen.

Having understood this, Mu You rushed towards the boundary during the accelerated time.

The maximum distance of godspeed was only 1,000 meters. A few dozen seconds later, Mu You crossed this distance and godspeed was automatically lifted.

At this time, Mu You was only a little over 200 meters away from the group of wolves, already within his casting range.

The moment godspeed was lifted, Mu You immediately initiated teleport, swapping places with a certain wolf in the middle of the pack.

Following this, he deployed a ’strong wind blowing’ and seven unprepared wolves around him were all toppled.

The seven wolves were momentarily stunned. Upon seeing the quietly appeared Ghost Captain, they quickly came back to their senses, and without any agreement beforehand, opted to attack in a desperate attempt to buy time for their comrades.

Unfortunately, their decision happened to align with Mu You’s intentions.

Facing the attacking wolves, Mu You chose not to dodge but to activate the Fool’s Boundary around him, slowing everything down again.

At this moment, there were a total of twenty-six wolves near the boundary; excluding the seven who chose to attack him, there were nineteen wolves charging towards the boundary.

Meanwhile, Lin Xue was also rapidly approaching. Now all Mu You needed was to delay these wolves a little before she arrived.

However, rather than stopping the opponents, Mu You was more interested in directly finding the one carrying the fragment.

If he could explode another fragment from the enemy, everything would end prematurely.

Having quickly assessed the situation, Mu You found a position that could encompass the most individuals and released a black hole.

A black point, dark as ink, quietly formed and fourteen wolves in the vicinity, including five who were attacking Mu You, fell into the traction of the black hole, sinking towards the center.

For the remaining two wolves near him, Mu You called off the Fool’s Boundary and, one in each hand, threw them into the black hole as well.

With this, twenty-one of the twenty-six wolves had been thrown into the black hole. However, the remaining five were too far away, and Mu You couldn’t reach them for now and had to watch them rushing towards the boundary.

Noticing the situation behind them, the five wolves were startled.

In just the blink of an eye, more than twenty of their teammates had been wiped out!

If they had not been far away, they would have been the ones struggling in the black hole...

All they could say was it was terrifying!

Fortunately, the boundary was already within reach.

These five are actually game characters, with the player operating the game from the same room on Earth.

At this moment, three fragments of Eternal Night City are being held by one of them. This person only needs to enter these fragments into the game to be able to enter the boundary at any time and take down the City Lord.

All five of them pressed on towards the boundary, each acting as though the fragments would surely be handed to them.

"Five people, each with a one in five chance - so who will you choose?"

In the distance, the Tyrant silently watched the scene unfold.

In fact, even if the opponent correctly guessed who held the fragments, it didn’t matter. They could simply transfer the fragments to the next person.

Therefore, the chance of the Ghost Captain guessing was not one in five, but zero.

"So that’s how it is..."

Mu You, watching this scene, had already guessed their plan.

Unfortunately, it seemed like the Tyrant and his colleagues had forgotten. To him, probability didn’t exist.

Mu You teleported directly to one of them and launched an attack.

"Too bad, you guessed wrong!"

Seeing the choice made by Mu You, the Tyrant immediately felt at ease, a rare smile appearing on his face.

The white youth beside him also breathed a sigh of relief.

With this, the City Lord would be securely in their hands!

Meanwhile, one of the five people, seeing a notification in the game that the Ghost Captain was attacking someone else, was overjoyed and quickly put the three fragments into the hands of their game character.

He could not resist fantasizing about himself becoming the City Lord, and all the wonderful scenes of success and prosperity...

But in the next second, a notice popped up in his game.

[You see a black spherical object quietly emerging from the shadow underneath you.]

[You find that you suddenly cannot move your body...]

[You see the ’Ghost Captain’ suddenly leaving his opponent and charging at you...]

[You watched helplessly as the Ghost Captain approached you and snatched the three Eternal Night City fragments from your hand...]

"No!"

The young man looked at the notification on his phone, unable to recover for a while, his heart bleeding.

However, the ones who were more injured at this time were the Tyrant and the white youth.

"How is this possible?"

The moment he saw the fragment fall into Mu You’s hand, the Tyrant and the white youth’s smiles froze on their faces.

"A one in five chance, and he guessed right?"

The two men looked at each other, both seeing the confusion and helplessness on each other’s faces.

They recognized the shadow ball. But even if the opponent had arranged for it to follow one of them in advance, he only had a one in five chance of guessing right.

And yet, he had done it. Was it a coincidence or--?

"Random number... But would that count as a probability event?" The white youth felt extremely absurd at this moment.

He guessed that this situation was related to the Ghost Captain’s board range control ability.

But even if he could control random numbers, it should at least be within the scope of the game, like magic, skills, and item drops, right? These things are part of the game world rules, so shouldn’t they have operational space?

Could this ability even control random events in the real world?

"Except..." The white youth suddenly had a flash of insight, thinking of a possibility.

"Except, what?" The Tyrant asked.

"Unless, this ability isn’t about directly manipulating probabilities, but about predicting the future...Or, more precisely, it should be--rewinding time!"

The white youth was analyzing, finally leaving himself shocked. Could the Ghost Captain possibly have time travel capabilities?

However, by the time he had figured out this point, it was already too late.

"It’s over..." The Tyrant sighed with resignation.

Even though in the distance, the wolf group hadn’t given up and were still desperately chasing the Ghost Captain and wanting to take back the fragment, he knew that it was already over.

If the opponent really possessed such a time rewind ability, even if they killed the Ghost Captain, there was no chance any fragments would drop. Unless they could kill him permanently... But is that even possible? If they had that ability, they wouldn’t have been pushed this far.

Moreover, the opponent wouldn’t even give them that much time.

As Mu You was evading the group of werewolves after seizing the fragment, Lin Xue had already made it to the boundary in her Grim Reaper avatar, plowing her way through.

Protected by the Grim Reaper’s cloak, no wolf could get close to her.

"Go!"

Mu You gave her a signal, telling her to move into the boundary ASAP to avoid complications.

Lin Xue nodded, piloted the Grim Reaper to punch out, directly blasting away all the surrounding werewolves, then quickly removed the Grim Reaper skeleton.

Returning to her original form, Lin Xue rushed towards the boundary.

However, Lin Xue was immediately repelled by a strong force as soon as she bumped into the boundary. She almost fell on landing.

"What’s wrong?" Mu You was taken aback.

"I don’t know, I’m being repelled by the boundary..."

Lin Xue was also somewhat at a loss at this point. She currently held four fragments of Eternal Night, which by all accounts should have been sufficient.
