Chapter 385 – Cat Dad's Wings and Mao Miaomiao's Wings (2)
= B2 Floor, Boss Room =
Party Queen stood alone, facing the group of immortals, led by Lu Bu and Eldrich.
The yellow monster no longer laughed like she used to. She simply stood there, staring at Lu Bu and the intruders. Her job was to buy time, not defeat them.
In secret, Party Queen opened Tian Feng's pouch and released all dimension spiders. The invisible spiders with smiling faces rushed out and disappeared.
Lu Bu's eyes shifted left and right. He snorted and ignored them. He cautiously scanned Party Queen with his unique abilities, ignoring the threat of invisible spiders.
Eldrich bellowed and unleashed his domain. A thousand invisible spiders instantly turned into blood mist.
The weak spiders shrieked and fled out of the boss room. They looked back toward Party Queen for a moment before they left.
Party Queen gazed at the spiders. She knew that they were no match against these super-strong intruders, but she successfully deployed them to the B2 floor. After this incident, they would develop the ecology here, turning the B2 floor into their nest and becoming a natural buffer against intruders from above.
"Is that all you can do, monster? HAHAHAHA!" Eldrich laughed at Party Queen, enjoying his little revenge.
Party Queen snorted at the bishop. She slightly leaned forward, attempting to teleport directly into Eldrich's body.
WHOOSH
Lu Bu suddenly swung his halberd randomly.
CLANK
Party Queen hadn't even triggered her domain yet, but the halberd dispelled her element essence. Her party domain's activation was canceled.
Lu Bu scoffed and looked back at Eldrich, "It's done."
"What's done?"
"I've finished what I was preparing."
"???"
Eldrich didn't understand what Lu Bu was talking about. However, Lu Bu received the game notification messages.
DING
<Your Mandate Domain, Eyes of True Mind, has finished analyzing the target. You can view the target's detail in the monster encyclopedia.>
Patiently, Lu Bu accessed the menu and checked the detail. He skimmed through the texts and closed the menu. All process was done in three seconds, but he remembered everything he needed to know.
"Illusion, infection, teleportation, ethereal physique, army management, and a self-resurrection are all she can do. Eldrich, I'll leave her to you. As for the rest, come with me. We'll bypass her to the lower floor!"
"Err, you're leaving her to me?! I thought you were going to-" Eldrich was taken aback.
"We have no time to idle around. Xie Tian is probably dead by now, and Mao Miaomiao is behind us! We have to kill Xiaomao and get out before he catches up!"
"B-But, what about me?"
"Just use the teleport scrolls and go home. You don't need to kill the monster. Just buy some time for me and the troops."
"…"
Eldrich grumbled. He cursed Lu Bu in his mind.
'Using me as a scapegoat? Fine. I'll remember this. After this mess, I'll teach you a lesson!'
As Eldrich didn't answer, Lu Bu took it for granted that he had acknowledged the order. The war god turned around and waved his hand, gesturing for the group to follow him. Wei Cao nodded and silently followed the war god.
Meanwhile, Party Queen heard everything. She triggered her constellation domain, creating an illusion of mist, party rooms, and party girls.
Lu Bu slightly snorted and swung his halberd once.
CLANK
Party Queen's domain was instantly destroyed. Her smiley face twitched, and she fell to her knees. Her right hand clenched her belly as her dantian was damaged because of the backlash.
Lu Bu didn't bother looking at Party Queen. He ran past her and kicked open a bronze door behind her. Then, he found the stairs toward the B3 floor. Lu Bu rushed down while Wei Cao and the troops only glanced at the monster and followed their leader.
.
Being left alone, Eldrich sneered at Party Queen. He rubbed his hands.
"I haven't tried a sexy monster before. You know, you have quite a body. Although your skin is coarse, and your face is disgusting, that ass is fire!"
The bishop rubbed his crotch and taunted Party Queen. She raised her head and glared at the pervert.
"KIKIKIKI (I'll send you to Jesus.)"
"Laugh, bitch. Laugh louder! I'll make sure to eat all your skills, spells, and Dao! WITNESS MY TRUE POWER! ACTIVATE THE STELLAR CONSTELLATION DOMAIN – HOAR-"
A glint of light appeared from the depth of the long hallway in front of the boss room's entrance. A katana whizzed through the air at a light speed and pierced through the back of Eldrich's head.
"KAKAKAKA! ANOTHER FOOD!"
The katana burst into laughter while she used her power.
DING
<Killer Queen has activated the Transcended Mandate Domain – Dao Eater!>
BOOM
Instantly, Eldrich's body swell and exploded in black flame. Before he was incinerated to ash, he widened his eyes in confusion and shock. He didn't understand what hit him.
It was too late for the bishop. His physical body vanished from the game world, leaving behind his soul crystal.
Party Queen blankly stared at the black ash in disbelief. Her mouth twitched as she couldn't laugh at the situation. Then, she gazed at the black katana, which was hovering over the pile of ash.
The talking katana transformed into a black-haired underage Oni girl. She levitated and giggled, "Miaomiao is surely taking his time, isn't he? If he feels like it, he could have caught up with Lu Bu by now."
"Kikikiki? (Err, thank you?)"
"You're welcome, pretty lady. Oh, a word of advice from your senior. You should adjust the size of your butt a bit. Make it smaller and flatter. Round and curvy butts can attract troubles."
Party Queen quietly nodded. Then, she turned toward the entrance of the boss room.
TOK
TOK
A silhouette of a black-winged angel slowly came out from the dark hallway. The angel was in the middle of pulling his right wing in front of him for an inspection. Behind him, an invisible spider was gnawing at his head, trying to eat the angel. However, the angel ignored it as its fangs couldn't even scratch his skin.
"Hey, KQ, do you know why my white wing turn black?" Mao Miaomiao complained.
The katana laughed, "I don't know. Aren't you walking down the evil path or going for an evil ending?"
"That's not it! Haiz, forget it. I shouldn't have asked you."
Mao Miaomiao just noticed the changes in his wings after he killed Xie Tian. Formerly, he had a black and a white wing. But now, both his wings were pure black, which was unusual.
'I don't remember cultivating something odd or unusual. Is it because of Meowmeow's soul?'
Mao Miaomiao checked the cathulhu's soul in his dantian universe. The kitty was still curling in the crystal ball, smiling and sleeping soundly.
Unable to get the answer, Mao Miaomiao looked up.
"Mu-Nyang, why are my wings black now? Aren't I supposed to have dual-color wings?"
[Mu-Nyang]: "Ah, my apologies. It's because of your son, munya."
"My son?"
[Mu-Nyang]: "Usually, only one Chaos Seraphim exists at a time, munya. When two or more appear in the same era, they tend to compete for karma, fate, and supremacy, munya. One will get all the positive karma, and the other one will have all the negative karma. The rest will die out because of the lack of karmic energy. You can only cultivate both types of karma when only one of you remain in the universe, munya."
"…"
Mao Miaomiao pursed his lips. He glanced at the dark purple butterflies, whose faces resembled a male protagonist in Hentai Animations as half of his face was hidden under his bang and the shadow. A few of them had Chad's face while the minority inherited the cat emoji faces.
He had been living with these butterflies for a long time. He knew what they represented.
"So, negative karma flocks to me while Xiaomao hogs all the positive karma right now?"
[Mu-Nyang]: "Yes. If you have to blame it on something, blame it on your stupid pets in your dantian universe. Who in the right mind keeps karma centipedes as pets, munya?! Also, your perversion and your past deeds play a huge role in this. Welp, that's your karma for messing around too much in your previous life, munya."
Mao Miaomiao shrugged. He didn't care if he would become a negative karma magnet as he could use everything as a source of providence essence even if the energy was full of impurity.
"One last question, Mu-Nyang. What's the perk of having high positive karma?"
[Mu-Nyang]: "You'll understand when you see your son again. It's something you never had in the previous life, and you'll never get it in this life."
"Hohoh? It's that good?"
Mao Miaomiao got curious. He got another reason to protect his son and get rid of the intruders as soon as possible so that he could study Xiaomao.
"Kikikiki? (Excuse me? Who are you talking to?)"
The soft voice of Party Queen reminded Mao Miaomiao that he wasn't alone. He dryly laughed and turned to the boss monster.
"Oh, I forgot about you. Here, let me heal you."
Mao Miaomiao tossed away the invisible spider on his head away and crouched in front of Party Queen. As usual, Mao Miaomiao poked Party Queen's head.
CLICK-CLICK-CLICK
The time flow inside Party Queen's body flowed backward. Instantly, she was no longer injured, and her Qi was full.
After Party Queen was healed, Mao Miaomiao picked up Eldrich's soul stone and raised it overhead. He repeated the ritual.
"I, Chaos Seraphim Mao Miaomiao, Apostle of Mu-Nyang…"
.
.
DING
<Antagonist Eldrich has been slain by Mao Miaomiao.>
Xiaomao slightly opened his eyes to read the message. He clicked his tongue.
"You're working hard, munya. I guess I have to keep up."
Xiaomao returned his consciousness to his dantian universe. He resummoned Lu Bu to challenge him again.
The current score was 0-15. He was killed 15 times in a row against level-4500 clone at 100% potential difficulty.
Xiaomao learned a few of Lu Bu's trickeries and his favorite techniques - The domain interruption, the domain destruction, the ghost army summoning, and the strikes that couldn't be defended.
'I can't defeat him with long-ranged attacks. I can't activate any game spell or skill. I can't buff myself because of the domain negations. If I fight him in close combat, he will summon the ghost army. How annoying.'
He paced his breaths and focused. He thought outside the boxes.
'How about items? Can I defeat Lu Bu by over-gearing?'
The experiment continued.
