Chapter 343: This Is Your Last Chance

In just one afternoon, Zhang Yue obtained the second Scroll Fragment.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the World Boss challenge.

At this moment, Sakura received a message from Nightshade,["Before he starts the World Boss challenge, use the effect of the Mark of Death on him. This is the best chance."]

Reading Nightshade's message, Sakura raised her head and looked at Zhang Yue, who was standing with his back to her.

Indeed, this was an excellent opportunity.

Every time she used the Mark of Death before, she deliberately masked it with a class skill to avoid Zhang Yue discovering the effect of the mark.

In reality, simply using the Mark of Death had no external effect. The one marked by it would hardly notice.

Sakura could easily and secretly place the Mark of Death on Zhang Yue. Then, when he was killed by the World Boss, everything would end.

However... she hesitated.

Not long after, Nightshade sent another message urging her:

["How is it? Did you use it?"]

"No... I didn't have the chance. He's already entered the challenge space."

When Sakura sent this message, Zhang Yue hadn't actually started the challenge yet.

Only after she sent the message did Zhang Yue disappear before her eyes.

Nightshade immediately replied:["What are you doing? Didn't I tell you already? How could you miss such a great chance!"]

Sakura clutched her staff tightly, remaining silent.

After a pause, Nightshade continued:["Pay attention next time. After this, there will only be one more chance. Make sure you don't mess it up!"]

["Got it,"] Sakura replied, closing the message.

On the other side, Zhang Yue entered the World Boss challenge zone.

Once again, he saw the [King's Guard].

After just a few hours, the King's Guard was stunned to see Zhang Yue again,"You again?"

Zhang Yue grinned. "Surprised? Didn't expect this, huh?"

Saying that, Zhang Yue put away his staff and dropped his battle stance.

Standing casually, he said to the King's Guard: "Come on!"

The King's Guard was stunned again.

He hesitated to act, staring at Zhang Yue.

In his mind: 'Is this guy crazy?'

Although the King's Guard had killed countless humans, this was the first time someone had actively come to seek death.

For a moment, the King's Guard even thought: 'Could this be a trap?'

Seeing the King's Guard hesitate, Zhang Yue grew impatient."What's wrong? Don't dare?"

"With just this much courage, how can you sit in the position of World Boss?"

The King's Guard was successfully provoked. "Fine! Since you're seeking death, I'll grant your wish!"

With that, the King's Guard drew his bowstring and attacked Zhang Yue.

At this moment, Zhang Yue still had the Void Shield active.

It was a protective measure left over from his earlier task of clearing Divine Guards.

The shield hadn't expired yet and carried over to now.

Just like last time, the King's Guard spent a full thirty seconds breaking through Zhang Yue's Void Shield before killing him.

[Ding~ Unfortunately, as you failed to defeat the World Boss, the progress of the World 15 has been reset]

The scene shifted, and Zhang Yue was transported back to the familiar dark domain.

[Ding~ Please select the race you will reincarnate into]

This time, Zhang Yue chose the Hell Demon Race.

The usual routine followed. He picked up tasks in the Demon City.

With Sakura's assistance, he completed the missions efficiently.

To speed up the acquisition of the dossier fragments, Zhang Yue didn't even log off for dinner.

Starting at around 4 p.m., he finished the World Mission by 7 p.m.

Then, he began the Hell Demon challenge mission.

He had to kill 1,000 Undead Divine Guards within thirty minutes.

The result? Zhang Yue only took twenty minutes to complete the challenge.

He obtained the third Scroll Fragment.

Each race followed the same pattern.

The more he repeated it, the more skilled he became.

———

Meanwhile, elsewhere…

Crimson Chain and Nightshade were still wandering across the World, picking up "trash" for Zhang Yue.

The two worked tirelessly, collecting garbage all day long.

By the end of the day, they hadn't even caught a glimpse of Zhang Yue.

What's more, all the "trash" they collected had to be handed over. Not even a single gold coin belonged to them.

Both of them were on the verge of collapse.

At this moment, Nightshade sent Sakura a message: ["Has Zero started his third World Boss challenge yet?"]

Sakura quickly replied: ["He's about to."]

["Did you use the Mark of Death?"]

Sakura hesitated: ["I... haven't yet."]

Seeing this message, Nightshade was furious. ["What the hell are you doing? Are you doing this on purpose?"]

["I... I'm not..."]

Nightshade pressed further: ["Do you not want to continue?"]

["Do I need to remind you again? You're from the Eastern Nation. You know how much we in the Dragon Nation hate the Eastern Nation. If I expose your identity, your fate will be like a lamb trapped in a wolf pack!"]

Fearing the plan's failure, Nightshade continued threatening her:["Where is Zero now? Tell me his location. If you can't do it, I'll handle it myself!"]

Just as he finished speaking, Zhang Yue coincidentally sent him a message: ["Have you finished picking up the stuff?"]

Although furious, Nightshade knew the plan had progressed too far. At this point, revealing anything would arouse Zhang Yue's suspicion.

Nightshade respectfully replied: ["President, according to your coordinates, there are two more maps left to clear."]

["Good,"] Zhang Yue said. ["Then I'll leave the rest to you two. I'll add 10,000 to your bonus this month, okay?"]

Before Nightshade could reply, Crimson Chain quickly responded on his behalf: ["No problem, no problem! President, you focus on your tasks. We've got this covered!"]

Nightshade was so furious he almost stabbed Crimson Chain on the spot.

Hurriedly, he added: ["President, where are you now? Why don't we log off for dinner first? After eating, you can challenge the World Boss again."]

Zhang Yue: ["You guys go eat first. I'll finish the Boss here."]

Nightshade panicked.

If Zhang Yue got killed by the Boss again, he'd enter the fourth reincarnation as an Hell God. After that, there'd be no need for intentional deaths.

This was the last chance.

But now, Nightshade knew he couldn't make it in time.

He could only threaten Sakura again: ["This is your last chance. Remember, if you miss this again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"]

In the Demon City of the Hell Demon Race, Sakura looked at Nightshade's threatening message, her fear overwhelming her.

She stared at Zhang Yue, standing ahead of her with his back turned, about to begin the World Boss challenge.

After struggling internally for a long time, she still couldn't bring herself to use the Mark of Death.

At that moment, Zhang Yue suddenly turned around, looking directly at Sakura.

He said something that made her mind go blank in an instant: "If you miss this chance, you won't get another one."

"Have you thought it through?"

In that instant, Sakura's heartbeat raced,"You… what did you say?"
