Chapter 708: Wearing the Black Crown, I Become the Most Hate-Attracting Child in the Whole Scene

Phew~

The instant it woke, the World Bat spun its massive body, its broad wings whipping, purple energy erupting. Every stray creature nearby was blasted to death, not a single one spared!

Some players who hadn't returned to their dorms yet saw this scene in the corridor and were so frightened their souls nearly left their bodies.

Luckily they were timid and alert; otherwise they'd have turned to ash on the spot.

Some players saw their friends' names go dim and felt deep regret gnawing at them.

When the Mad King Building players evacuated, everyone should have left together.

Never rely on lucky breaks.

"Guga!"

Red light leapt in the World Bat's eyes as it stared suspiciously at the intact Mad King Building.

All the dorms in the Mad King Building were completely unscathed, as if it had never attacked them before.

Because he knew the strike points, Xu Lang had already ordered the players in those spots to evacuate.

This kind of precognitive miracle had spread like wildfire through the Mad King Building, further boosting his prestige.

"Over here!" Xu Lang hovered in the air, throwing a spear that struck the World Bat on the crown of its head.

Inside the dorms, players watched with hearts in their mouths.

Xu Lang was truly reckless.

No wonder he was the Dorm Owner of the Mad King Building, crazier than the other Mad King Building players.

"Guga!"

The World Bat was furious. It stared fixedly at Xu Lang for a moment, then looked toward the Mad King Building as vast purple energy gathered in its mouth.

The sky dimmed instantly, as if all light had been sucked into that purple beam.

This beast was going to continue attacking the Mad King Building!

On the Ferris Wheel, Amusement Park Building players widened their eyes, exhilarated.

The World Bat, now in a declined state, would nevertheless hit harder than before.

"What trash!!!"

Just as the World Bat's attack formed and was about to fire, a scornful shout rang from above.

A grandfather scolding his grandson?

The World Bat flared red with rage, snapped its head up, and the scorching beam of energy tore through the firmament. The shockwave made the space itself violently ripple!

Almost a second before the World Bat lifted its head, death intent already enveloped Xu Lang; the oppressive pressure from an upper-tier lifeform made his hair stand on end, as if facing an abyss!

Yet his movements did not falter in the slightest. He flashed at breakneck speed and dodged the initial blast.

Xu Lang's control-resistance was extremely strong, giving him the nerve to challenge higher beings.

The World Bat's killing intent was fierce, but it could not corrode his mind.

Unfortunately, though Xu Lang avoided the first blast, he failed to evade the World Bat's subsequent sweep-fire and was instantly vaporized!

This attack could not be dodged, not even with Raphael's Cloak.

To minimize losses, Xu Lang hadn't worn Raphael's Cloak and had stowed his equipment in advance, going into the fight bare-bodied.

"Xu Lang is dead?"

The Jester stood dumbfounded, refusing to believe his eyes.

Then he burst into raucous laughter.

"Hahaha, arrogant people tempt fate, and the heavens answer in kind! You had to show off, trying to kite a world-class BOSS—serves you right for dying!"

At this moment, Youle's mood was extremely complicated.

The World Bat, newly awakened, had leveled up in power and increased its output.

Xu Lang probably messed up this time, right?

Without Xu Lang, the Mad King Building would likely decline quickly, and he lacked confidence in beating Evil King Building and Heaven's Judgment Building.

...

"Hmm hmm hmm?"

The World Bat trembled with satisfaction at avenging its grievance, its body shivering with excitement, though some rule constrained it from leaving its spot.

To everyone's surprise, after this attack the World Bat did not fall back asleep!

Its wings quivered and dense little purple missiles materialized, very much like the shells of the Void Fissioner turret.

This wave of attacks would all be poured onto the Mad King Building—many facilities would be ruined!

"Is that all you've got." From high above, Xu Lang stepped out of a patch of blood-red and looked the World Bat in the eye, speaking calmly.

Dead and alive!

This hat trick caught the players off guard. The Jester immediately covered his mouth, afraid Xu Lang might have heard his earlier remarks.

The World Bat's eyes widened like an opening abyss in the deep sea, pulsating with thick purple energy, raging to the extreme.

Xu Lang simply floated there and met the World Bat's gaze.

Although they were on equal eye level, the World Bat inexplicably felt looked-down-upon by this little pest!

A wave of malice locked onto Xu Lang like a clamp!

With a light chuckle, under the World Bat's stare, Xu Lang put on the Black Crown.

At that moment, the World Bat completely lost its mind, roaring as if it wanted to swallow Xu Lang whole. Purple missiles rained from the sky, enveloping the surrounding space!

"I'll be back." At the brink of death, Xu Lang patted the World Bat's pointed head.

The World Bat narrowed its eyes and then fell asleep again, like a child soothed by a good father.

Death, after all, was nothing serious.

Less than ten seconds after dying, Xu Lang came back to life, stepping out of the Blood-Colored Highland surrounded by faint blood-tinted radiance.

Dying and reviving again and again further manifested the Scarlet Shepherd's Sequence power.

This time, two circles appeared under the World Bat.

One increased game time, the other shortened game time.

When simulating the dream, Xu Lang had never chosen an option that made the World Bat continue sleeping or shortened the game time!

Not even in his wildest dreams would he dare aim that high—was he even human?

Under his command, Mad King Building players began occupying the "increase-time circle" and even called players from other buildings to help.

That would accelerate the "increase-time circle" charging, indirectly extending the turrets' firing duration.

"Weird. So weird!"

Standing inside the circle, Osiris's emotions were a tangled mess.

Inside that large circle were players from all four buildings. Although they remained distinct, they were cooperating!

Building Wars, the four dormitory buildings working in sincere cooperation!

Damn it, was he dreaming?

"Record this: those dorm players who neither stood on platforms nor operated turrets to attack." From above, Xu Lang looked to Kui Zi and issued the order.

Kui Zi nodded.

By the time the "increase-time circle" was fully charged, the four dorms' turrets were already in position.

Along with the turrets' attacks, treasure chests began popping up rapidly!

Osiris gleefully scooped up treasure chests, while his good brother Solaris was so anxious a few of his hairs had gone white.

Heaven's Judgment Building remained stuck in last place for Firepower Points.

Just then Heaven's Judgment Building trembled lightly, and the Dorm Survival Game broadcast sounded.

[ Dorm Survival Game Broadcast— ]

[ Heaven's Judgment Building interferes with the battlefield! ]

[ Heaven's Judgment Building turrets gain a BUFF, attack power +50%, attack speed +50%, effect lasts until the end of the sixth round! ]

"Heaven's Judgment, you did not disappoint!"

Solaris rejoiced instantly.

Heaven's Judgment Building's Firepower Point accumulation jumped up a tier, rapidly closing on the Amusement Park Building. The Dorm Survival Game voice chimed again.

[ Dorm Survival Game Broadcast— ]

[ Amusement Park Building interferes with the battlefield! ]

[ Amusement Park Building turrets gain a BUFF, attack power +50%, attack speed +50%, effect lasts until the end of the sixth round! ]

Xu Lang smiled brightly.

The dormitory buildings had started contending with each other.
