Chapter 420 - Rakshasa's Abnormality | Re:Library

“Missing. Taurus Zhang and S.K.Y.’s names are gone. Other players’ points haven’t increased much,” she murmured to herself as she looked at the rankings. Just as she was trying to figure out what was happening, the rankings changed again. The players who were originally at the top suddenly vanished, and this was happening repeatedly.

“Did they die?” She slightly tilted her head, then opened her game interface and navigated to the forums to investigate.

After browsing through various threads, she confirmed her suspicion. Dead players were removed from the leaderboard, and all the points they had accumulated would be lost, rendering their efforts useless.

The forums were now filled with resentment and rage, with many players expressing their frustration at the harsh consequences of death in the game.

‘Do you think the golden goose really exists?’

Yaeger closed the game interface, uninterested in the complaints of the defeated players.

“I don’t need to worry about Taurus Zhang and S.K.Y. anymore. I can practically ignore the other players as well. The only challenge left are Richard’s black-armored soldiers. It would be quite troublesome if they’re all gathered together,” Yaeger thought to herself.

After defeating two Swift Black Dragons, Yaeger had a rough idea of her actual strength. She was confident that she could fight someone ten levels above her with ease.

“As for those adventurers, they’re insignificant.” She couldn’t help but shake her head as she recalled the scene where they fled in despair at the entrance of the cave maze.

At this moment, in a particular cave maze, the sound of flowing water could be heard. A man stood atop a pile of objects, trembling uncontrollably. Upon closer inspection, the pile was revealed to be a mountain of fresh corpses, composed of humans, Magic Beasts, and magical beings. Blood covered everything, slowly trickling down uneven surfaces.

The man began to mutter incoherently, “Blurry… screams… despair. Hahaha! The moment when life fades away is so beautiful and enchanting! Ahhhhh~ I’m so happy! This unusual joy… it feels amazing!”

After a while, the man finally calmed down. He looked up, revealing his pale and yellow face. On closer inspection, his neck had a pale white shade that contrasted sharply with his yellowish complexion.

“Escape if you can, Alicia. You’ll soon be my offering! Huahahahahaha!” The man’s maniacal laughter echoed through the cave as his terrifying aura surged like a violent storm, filling the entire area.

Ten minutes ago, Yunuen had ended her broadcast to allow everyone to rest and recover from the intense experience. Nangong and the others were sitting together, chatting and unwinding just like the group in the game. Although they were still excited, they had calmed down considerably compared to before.

In a certain apartment unit, Rakshasa left her cozy bed and stepped out of her room. Her composure returned quicker than Nangong’s and the others’. She retrieved a bottle of mineral water from the fridge in the living room and chugged it down eagerly to rehydrate herself.

‘I’m alive.’ She drank it down eagerly, enjoying it more than she had expected. After finishing half the bottle, she closed it and returned it to the fridge.

‘Let’s wash my face.’ Deciding to freshen up, Rakshasa stretched and walked briskly to the bathroom and turned on the faucet. The liquid flowed out with a faint scent of disinfectant. She soaked a towel, dropped it on her face, and rubbed it gently. Despite not using any cosmetic products, her skin was as smooth as a freshly peeled boiled egg and remained healthy. Rakshasa hung up the towel, looked at herself in the mirror, and maintained her calm expression.

‘It would be great if I were a normal person,’ thought Rakshasa, frustrated. Suddenly, without warning, translucent fluid dripped out of her mouth and landed in the sink. ‘So annoying,’ she mused as she watched the droplet of saliva.

When she was young, Rakshasa suffered from a strange disease. She had an intense fever, which caused her to gradually lose hearing in both ears and the ability to speak with her mouth. Despite visiting many famous doctors and divine healers in Huadu and Mount Kun, the disease remained a mystery. Fortunately, the disease only made her deaf and mute and did not threaten her well-being. However, there was a unique symptom that came with the disease. Her body would occasionally secrete a translucent and glittering liquid, which would uncontrollably flow out of her mouth.

‘Disgusting!’ Rakshasa hated dealing with this unexplainable symptom, which had made her a subject of ridicule since childhood.

‘I really want to live in the game world with Princess, and never come out.’ Having such disabilities in her own body, Rakshasa felt a deep sense of inferiority. Despite brushing it off in front of everyone else, she still occasionally felt sad about it during the after hours. She initially thought that she would be used to it after all these years.

‘But why do I feel so upset now?’ Clutching her pajamas by the chest, she couldn’t help but smile bitterly. With that, she left the washroom.

Time passed slowly by, and in the dark washroom, a cockroach climbed up the sink. It crept towards the translucent saliva, and upon finding nothing else nearby, it consumed it happily.

After a while, the cockroach’s body underwent a miraculous transformation. It began to glow with a green light. Soon after, its eyes flickered with a hint of intelligence.

In the inner district of Jade City, the Royal Palace stood tall with its majestic main hall brightly lit. Seated on the throne was Richard, a handsome man wearing luxurious clothing and a crown atop his head. Despite his composed appearance, a faint hint of anxiety flickered in his gaze. So far, there had been no good news from the underground maze, which explained his unease.

‘Without my permission, Alicia, you have no right to possess it!’ Richard tightly clenched his fists as his intimidating aura filled the entire hall, causing it to shake.

He felt an overwhelming desire to storm in and eliminate his own sister on the spot. Alicia, who was on the verge of death, still possessed boundless potential, which made her a perpetual threat to his reign. If she ever managed to break the curse that had weakened her and reclaim the strength she had lost, he would unquestionably lose his grip on the throne.

‘No, I must not let her dispel her curse! She must die! Even if I destroy my ancestor’s heritage, I must kill her!’

Richard was overwhelmed by anxiety, fear, and worry, causing him to lose some of his reasoning. He decided to retrieve the [Sword of Eternity] and destroy the underground maze. However, a terrifying aura suddenly emanated from a particular manor in the inner district at that moment.

“Lili!” Richard’s body trembled and his face darkened as he felt a familiar aura. His berserk aura surged to the sky, and two intense auras clashed through the air.

Meanwhile, deep inside the underground maze, Yaeger had regained most of her strength and was standing in front of the newly-discovered maze entrance with Alicia and the rest of her team. With one hand, she pushed open the heavy stone door and spoke in a calm tone, “Let’s go.”
