Chapter 116: You Want Tummy Rubs...?

...

"Such a thing is really possible?"

[Ding! Of course not, you f*cking dumba*s!]

"..."

Silence was all that stood between Lucifer strangling the system to death or jumping off a very high place.

In the end, he ignored the system and walked over to the corpse of the giant Python Nightmare Monster. Extracting its ten-meter-large core and absorbing its cultivation essence, he watched as his cultivation advanced by quite a bit.

{[Middle Golden Core (Early)]}

{[Middle Golden Core (Middle)]}

Though it was nothing too extraordinary, it was just enough to take his Battle Power into: {[Early Void Refinement Realm (Early)]}.

For Lucifer, that was a pretty decent haul for killing an overgrown garden snake.

"Well, now that the sneeak is dead, I figure it's about time that I make my way even deeper into this totally safe, super dark forest..."

Turning his head to the left and looking at the willowy trees whisking left to right, Lucifer found the eerie sounds they made not ominous at all...

"This looks like an area change, and I may or may not be about to encounter a secret boss... But ehh, what's the point of living if you aren't actually living!"

Strolling into the dark and scary forest without a care in the world, Lucifer walked past a wide array of Nightmare Monsters, all of whom had been waiting for a very long time for their snacks...

Of course, every single Nightmare Monster that thought they found a free lunch ended up becoming the lunch themselves...

But while they were alive, they put up really good struggles!

Well, not really, but yeah...

Lucifer entered the darker depths of the forest with 5 million or so Super Clone Essence. By the time he encountered his first Middle Void Refinement Realm Nightmare Monster, he already had 40 Million Super Clone Essence.

After using up half of it to summon 2 Void Refinement Realm Clones, Lucifer was left with a meager 20 Million Super Clone Essence...

But with him and his clones making up a force of 3 Early Void Refinement Realm powerhouses, he was far more confident in his persistent advance through the spooky forests. In fact, Lucifer was so confident that he gave up humanity and returned to monke.

By stripping down to his bare bottom in order to taunt the Nightmare Monsters, he was able to have even the scaredy cat monsters erase the idea of running away.

After all, none of them were willing to back down when presented with a 'large' competitor!

Call it pride or foolishness, but when faced with a divine dragon, all of existence would begin to strut their stuff...

"Roaarrrrgghh!!!'

Hearing numerous hair-tingling monster sounds echo out from behind him, Lucifer sped up his retreat!

Of course, he wasn't one to miss out on any loot, so he let his clones fight the monsters to the death and come out with like a 50/50 chance of survival.

"Well, more like 99/1 chance of survival, but do the specifics really matter...?"

Leaping over tree canopies like a jumping monkey, Lucifer spawned in tens of thousands of clones with every step he took. Using them as meat shields and whatnot, he eventually obtained the leeway necessary to hide out in a secure tree hole.

Dubbing this tree hole 'Lonely Virgin Mary', Lucifer then relaxed against one of the hole's walls. After which, he ignored the ominous howls and screeching from outside, putting all his focus on the wolf-like floofer curled up in his arms.

Now deciding to wake up, the bright, golden eyes of the floofer found themselves staring right into the swirling crimson pools in Lucifer's eyesockets.

"Sup, little floofer! Don't worry, I am not here to eat you; I simply wish to know if it's okay to floof you?"

Lucifer's gentlemanly spirit caused the white floofer to tilt its head in confusion. It wasn't exactly shocked over the stranger's presence, but it also wasn't completely clear on where it was or who he was.

Looking at the confused floofer, Lucifer said, "My name is Lucifer, floofer. And I also just so happen to be one of the most noble beings in existence!"

Becoming even more puzzled, the white floofer tilted its head left and right, trying its best to analyze the existence of this weird bipedal creature.

"Woof...?"

"Yeah, woof, woof! Lucifer!"

Seemingly misinterpreting the sound the floofer made, Lucifer threw up his thumbs and showed a wide, toothy grin.

"Woof..."

Giving up on pondering the unusual mannerisms of the weird monkey man, the floofer bent its ears down and stuck out its paw.

"Oh? You wish to shake hands with me, now do ya?"

Sticking out his hand, Lucifer clasped onto the small paw of the floofer. However, completely out of his expectations, this brief contact resulted in a bright flash of goldish white light within the tree hole!

"What the hell!? Is this some sort of anime level floofer moment!? Are we about to become companions of the highest degree and traverse the seas in order to become the pirate king-"

"Woof..." Interrupting Lucifer's main character moment with a low growl, the floofer stopped the bright flash of light. Taking its paw away from the hands of the human, it woofed once more.

"???"

Unlike the previous time that he heard the floofer woof, Lucifer could almost tell what the floofer was thinking. In fact, he could most definitely understand what it was trying to convey!

"You want tummy rubs...?"
