Chapter 129 – Cat Dad in Pangu Church’s Headquarters Dungeon (4)
Marcus glanced at his status menu and his inventory menu, examining his EXP progress and items. All premium inventory slots were full of equipment, items, and gear. As for his character’s inventory, he still had 20 slots available.
While standing back and waiting for the elite monster to get tired, Marcus opened a friend menu and sent a private text to his close friends.
Next to the magic swordsman, another swordsman in a samurai kimono calmly rested his right hand on the 39-inch O-Katana, hanging on his waist. Same as Marcus, the samurai had a special character, given by the game company.
Master Yeet was his name. He was one of many beta testers alongside Marcus, and he participated in a memorable event against top NPCs. In the real world, Master Yeet was also a master fencer and a weapon smith, who could make real cold weapons with modern tools.
DING
‘My inventory is almost full. How’s yours?’
Looking at Marcus’s message, Master Yeet typed in the chat box and replied.
’45 slots left.’
‘I have 20,’ replied Marcus, ‘You should have invested on that Kleptomania add-on two months ago. I got a super-rare skill book from the previous group.’
Master Yeet scoffed, ‘One character can learn one add-on skill. I’m waiting for a combat-oriented type. Stat booster skills and luck booster skills are useless in the long run. You know that you can’t rely on add-on skills in the real world, right?’
‘That will take ages, Yeet. The earliest combat add-on is scheduled after the second cross-world event. You will have to play the game without any add-on skill for at least 3 months. Isn’t that a waste of opportunities? You can easily buy the [Protein from Fish] now and boost your basic stats.’
‘I’m not interested in passive skills.’
‘Suit yourself. Well, let’s relay the order. After we dealt with these mobs, I’ll tell Cringe Lord to teleport us home.’
Master Yeet looked behind him, gazing at the stairs. He thought of the crowd of NPCs, which dragged a suspiciously strong NPC to the B2 floor.
‘We’re not following those priests? They are up to something, and there might be events down there.’
Marcus shook his head, ‘That event is related to future story development. Meng Xin will be converted to the Pangu Church, and he will lead the main forces of the church in the next crusade against the southern beast tribe of Mao Dandan.’
Master Yeet slightly nodded. He glanced at Marcus, ‘Did Pan Mei tell you?’
‘Indeed. Pan Mei’s leaked info is never wrong.’
‘Fine. Let’s finish this, and we’ll talk about the future event.’
Marcus and Master Yeet stopped chatting. Their attention shifted to the elite monster, who had already killed all of its comrades. However, the elite torturer’s HP recovered to the max..
Seeing that the mobs were all dead, the tankers rushed forward and surrounded the giant muscle man.
Marcus and Master Yeet leisurely approached the torturer while they positioned themselves behind the shieldsmen. The mages and ranged attackers formed ranks behind the line of melee fighters, and the three healers of their team lingered next to the stairs.
“Let’s finish this and go back to base.”
Master Yeet and Marcus brandished their weapons, warming up for the last assault.
BANG
The torturer punched one of the tankers, but the shieldsman withstood the attack with his tower shield.
WHOOSH
A white light shone upon the shieldsman, and his HP was restored to the max. The healers in his party did their job well.
As the torturer was no longer a threat, Master Yeet and Marcus began attacking, using their normal attacks. The mages and rangers didn’t participate as they needed Marcus to become the MVP of this hunt to receive his item drop bonuses. Meanwhile, the melee fighters stood guard, protecting the fragile glass cannons behind them.
Because there was nothing to do, the crowd looked around the dungeon, admiring the scenery.
Suddenly, one of them noticed a strange fluctuation on the ceiling.
At first, the player thought that it was the distorted air from their torches. But staring at it for a few seconds, he noticed that it moved closer to them.
For a safety measure, the player picked up a small rock and tossed it at the distorted ceiling.
PU
MUNYA!
“Huh?”
“Hmm?”
The group of mages and rangers looked up as they suddenly heard a high-pitched noise. Then, they found two glowing eyes in the dark, staring at them.
“That hurts, munya!”
Before the players could react, a thousand bolts rained upon them, who stood too close together.
The bolts pierced through their armors, clothes, and bones as if their whole bodies were made of tofu. A series of critical damage warnings appeared over their heads.
CRITICAL!
4,150!
3,801!
4,018!
The players widened their eyes as their HP bars dropped by 30-50% in one attack. Some mages got hit more than once, and their HP dropped to zero! As for the healers, all of them died in two hits.
DING
<Player, Xiaomao, has attacked you!>
<Player, Xiaomao, has been branded as a criminal!>
<You can retaliate without incurring criminal penalties.>
.
Xiaomao squinted his eyes in disappointment as the damages from his rare level-50 crossbow couldn’t kill all players in one hit. He glanced at the level of these players.
Level 124
Level 130
Level 127
They seemed to be stronger than Absolute Halal and his guild mates. Moreover, their gears looked different from regular players.
As Xiaomao paid attention to their gears, he noticed a faint glow, which was the signature level-100 equipment. Some dimly shone in gray light as the gears were common-grade, but most of their weapons and armors had a blue aura, which belonged to rare-graded items.
Among the crowd, a fat mage with the name [Ke Lin Ji], was holding a long staff with a red aura.
It was a super-rare weapon!
Upon noticing the quality of their gears, Xiaomao understood why he couldn’t finish them off with his current crossbow.
‘My physical attack is too weak. I need something else to replace my level-50 crossbow.’
Xiaomao’s eyes fixated on the fatty.
“Your staff looks very nice, munya! MU-NYA-NYA!”
Upon saying that, he cast a spell on the group of confused players.
Shaman Fireball
From the ceiling, a large fireball descended toward the group of injured players and exploded.
BOOM
CRITICAL HIT!
13,032!
12,958!
13,508!
Because of Xiaomao’s 3491 Magic Attack, damage from Xiaomao’s spell was devastating when it became critical damage.
All players in the spell range were incinerated to ashes, including melee fighters with higher than 10,000 HP. Their equipment and items in their inventory were ejected from the black dust and piled into several small mountains.
One of the items belonged to the fat mage, Ke Lin Ji.
Xiaomao cackled. He ignored the warning messages of his negative karma and dropped from the ceiling, diving into the pile of Ke Lin Ji’s items.
.
Marcus and Master Yeet turned around because of the commotion. Upon seeing that their party members were ambushed and killed, they shouted.
“BASTARD!”
“YOU DARE?!”
Master Yeet kicked the ground and disappeared from the spot. He instantly reappeared in front of Ke Lin Ji’s item mountain.
The next second, Master Yeet vanished again. He left five afterimages of himself, flashing through the pile of Ke Lin Ji’s items. When he reappeared again, he waved his O-katana as if he had slashed someone several times already.
SWUA
SWUA
SWUA
It was Master Yeet’s class skill, Penta Strike. He could deliver five attacks to his opponent instantly, bypassing all kinds of defenses, spells, and shields.
2,044!
2,244!
2,124!
2,612!
2,547! OVERKILL!
The invisible ambusher revealed his HP bar, which was decreased for each strike.
Master Yeet smirked, believing in his victory as the last message informed him that the target was dead, “This is what you get for attacking us! We’ll remember your name and hunt you down every time we see you!”
DING
Suddenly, the unknown enemy’s HP bar was restored, and the ambusher’s name was revealed. It was a shiny golden name with red borders.
Xiaomao, Level 111
“Huh?”
Master Yeet realized something. He knew this person as he saw the spirit fruits in the auction.
Because of the moment of hesitation, the pile of items moved.
“Lightning Bolt, munya!”
BOOM!
Suddenly, a streak of lightning burst out from the pile of items and hit Master Yeet’s chest.
CRITICAL!
15,338!
The samurai widened his eyes in shock and astonishment because of the damage. His full HP dropped to zero.
“I killed you! How?!”
A catopus in the item pile appeared. His expression was distorted in anger as Master Yeet forced him to activate his life-saving item.
“Go to hell, munya!”
Master Yeet’s game avatar dissipated to dust, leaving behind all of his equipment and items in his character inventory.
Xiaomao turned to Marcus and the seven shieldsmen, who were looking at him in shock.
“Xiaomao, that guy from the global announcement?!”
While Marcus was distracted, Xiaomao bellowed and raised the SR staff, using his small tentacles.
“MU-NYA-NYA!”
A larger fireball appeared and brightened the underground cave. It came down toward Marcus and exploded.
