Chapter 118: Trap (2)

All people know how strong mob mentality can be. We have all experienced, at least once, getting caught up in the flow and shouting for something we did not even care about.

Once the excitement starts, whether for fun or just out of boredom, the crowd enjoys the chaos.

The Community was especially prone to this.

...

All kinds of disgusting shitposts flooded the forums, mixed with rampant bait posts. Even threads with seemingly normal titles led to horrific images, enraging users and sparking retaliatory cursed images that created new victims.

It was chaos on top of chaos!

Naturally, anyone logged into the Community caught on to the madness quickly.

“Hmm...”

Succubus Queen Selena, worn out from her exhausting research. Keisha Winsler, struggling to solve the fortress’ various internal problems. Virdel, suffering through Maxien’s brutal training.

Even those who were not as prominent as these users could easily grasp what was happening.

It was only a matter of time before the Community’s mischief reached someone.

“Carry on. I’ll be heading out for a bit.”

“...Yes, I understand.”

With a gust of wind, the unknown speaker disappeared.

***KABOOM-

The dragon’s massive body was thrown back.

“Ugh! What kind of monster is this?!”

“Only someone like you could have endured that! Be careful!”

“Humph!”

CLICK-

Yongyong’s chest opened, revealing a particle accelerator.

“Go to hell!”

FLASH-

Twin beams of light, containing power that rivaled his Dragon Breath, shot from Yongyong’s chest towards the enemy.

PZZZT-

It was a particle weapon he had kept off the livestream due to its embarrassing design.

-SKREEEEGH!

A 10-meter-tall giant figure, clad in red metal, was momentarily held at bay by the beam attack.

The creature was a Kaiju with two heads, four arms, and two legs.

-SKREEEEGH!

The attack had barely halted its advance, but it had not dealt a significant blow.

“Grr. Is it a Tank-type?”

Despite this, the twin beams were undeniably effective. The Kaiju had shrugged off all previous bombardments with ease.

“Let’s see how long you can hold out!”

The Kaiju advanced a step at Yongyong’s provocation but was immediately pushed back, unable to close the distance.

“Hahaha.”

Yongyong laughed casually, but the reality was different.

This is no ordinary Kaiju.

It was fundamentally different from the countless Kaiju he had slain before.

BANG-

The Kaiju’s figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind him.

“Holy shit! It’s got speed too?”

Even with over 1 million battle power, Yongyong was struggling. What kind of Kaiju was this?!

Is this the kind of foe Oradge always faced?

BOOOM!

“Gaagh!”

Yongyong was thrown back but swiftly straightened himself and soared into the air.

RUMBLE-

The ground where Yongyong had stood caved in. The red creature emerged from the smoke, undaunted.

“Goddamn!”

Yongyong’s eyes filled with indignation.

“I wanted to be DPS! Not a tank!!”

“Hang in there a little longer, Yongyong! You are the only one who can handle it.”

“Blow up everything! Blow it all!”

Spirit Summoner Barron was fending off a swarm of lesser Kaiju with his Fusion Cannon, merged with Spirit Kings, while Perpe whirled her greatsword furiously in the middle of the Kaiju army, blasting away all the mid-level Kaiju.

“Aaaaargh!”

BOOM-

Thanks to his Stellaruim-coated skeleton, Yongyong managed to block the red Kaiju’s attacks... though he was already left looking like a total wreck!

Of course, despite his focus on the monstrous red creature, Yongyong did not stop bombarding the Kaiju army with his long-range weapons.

PZZT- BOOM- BOOM-

Kaiju after Kaiju turned to ash following his bombardment.

His attack definitely packed a punch, but that was not important.

“What of the barrier?”

“I’m already at my limit just handling this guy!”

“Perpe seems to have lost her head... I will take the red one! You analyze the barrier!”

“Forget it! Lord Full Metal War Dragon is gonna handle it somehow.”

I need to get away!

“Barron!! Perpe!!”

Catching on to the situation, Barron used the Ether Wave Device Yongyong had given him to wake Perpe up and carried her in his arms.

“Yoong-yooong—!”

Barron reached out, feeling time stretch in that brief moment.

“RUUUUNN!!!”

Yongyong grabbed Barron and Perpe, deployed dozens of shields around them, and curled up.

The red Kaiju lunged towards them, but now was not the time to worry about that.

“Get down!!!”

Following Yongyong’s urgent cry—

KRRRK-

...

KRRK-

Black and white reversed. Utter silence fell over the area, consuming all sound.

!!

THUMP-

KRRK-

All Yongyong could feel was the sensation of something breaking.

AAAH! I’m losing it! Th-this feeling!

He recognized this feeling—it had occurred once before. Though less intense this time... Yongyong was certain it was similar to the time Oradge got serious.

AHHHH!

Space itself tore apart.

KRRK-

Yongyong’s senses twisted as dimension warped around him.

Yes, he remembered this awful sensation of his very senses being crushed, even though he was untouched.

Seconds later...

“!!”

“GAAH!”

“Ahhh!”

“A-are you all right?”

Yongyong was blown back by a tremendous aftershock.

The external strike had obliterated everything within the barrier, leaving a wasteland and slicing through something.

“Koff!”

Yongyong relaxed upon confirming that the other two were safe in his arms.

F-fuck!

Even in Full Metal Wardragon form, he could not help but curse from the pain.

I got off light thanks to dodging a direct hit... No, it’s because we were never the actual target...

A starlight-haired woman emerged from the breach in the barrier.

It-it’s her!

Yongyong knew her. How could he not?

“M-Maxien Asteria.”

“Mmm?”

She was the entity who had proven to be the strongest right after entering World.

Yongyong’s tail instinctively curled inwards at her gaze.

Th-this is what 12 million battle power feels like?

And at that moment.

BUZZ-

Yongyong continued to feel his sanity slipping.
