Chapter 229 – Lucien VS Misha Party
Misha and Shurka flew back to Volcano Island to pick up Des and Moo after they had confirmed that the town had not been sieged yet.
Upon arrival, they found 2,000 kobolds, Moo, and Des on the beach, waiting for their pickup.
Des looked at the doge people with a wry smile, "What are you going to do with these kobolds? Are you going to fly them home, one by one?"
Misha looked at the pitiful kobolds, who had the innocent appearance of Shiba Inu, minus the dark eyes of black slimes.
"Can you guys swim?"
The doges cried and shook their heads. If it were a calm river, they could have crossed it without trouble. However, they could not swim across the 10km open ocean, which was filled with sea monsters.
It was an impossible task for these kobolds.
"I see. Well, I'll come back with Slicky, and I'll have him carry you all to our headquarters."
Des frowned, "I think some of them are female. Slicky will turn them into his toys."
"It doesn't matter," Misha turned to the kobolds, "They are containers for those black slimes inside, so they don't mind it if one or two of them became Slicky's sacrifice, right?"
All of the doges cried.
"Just kidding. I'll tell Slicky not to harm any of you."
Everyone was relieved.
As Shurka and Misha were preparing to carry Des and Moo home, they noticed that Lucien was rushing down the mountain.
His face was distorted in anger.
"ALL KOBOLDS, KILL THAT IMPOSTER!! SHE IS NOT OUR SAVIOR MISHA!!"
The kobolds did not move despite being ordered by Lucien. They turned and looked at him in confusion.
>

The game system prevented Lucien from taking back the mercenaries that Wet Banana Guild had hired. Misha, Moo, Des, and Shurka received the notification as they were nearby.
Misha frowned. She looked at Lucien, "What's going on, stupid doge? What do you want?"
"RETURN THE ORB AND HAND OVER YOUR HEAD! OR ELSE, I'LL CUT YOUR FLESH AND FEED TO THE HYENAS!"
"Ah?"
"ALL OF YOU KOBOLDS, TOO! KILL THIS IMPOSTER AT ONCE!!"
The kobolds hesitated, but they did not follow after Lucien's order even though he was once their commander.
"FINE!! I'LL KILL THE IMPOSTER AND THOSE BASTARDS MYSELF!!"
Something was wrong with Lucien. All of them took out their weapons and equipped their gears, getting ready for battle.
Shurka cast flame field to cover Moo, Des, and herself. With her INT, WIS, skill level, and PF, Shurka generated 100,000 HP of her shield for everyone.
However, the shield's HP was shared. If anyone was attacked, the barrier HP would be taken instead of their HP.
Meanwhile, Misha could not generate a barrier for others, but her INT and PF were higher than Shurka.

After Misha's race changed to fairy overlord, the skill had been adjusted. The cooldown timer appeared, and the ability weakened as Misha was not a fire specialist anymore.
However, her 7,072 INT, 1535 WIS, and 3,070 PF allowed her to generate a boss-like barrier HP, which surpassed the previous field bosses that Misha had encountered, including Lucien, who only had 300,000 HP.
Unfortunately, using this skill depleted all her PF.
Out of a habit, Misha took out a yellow gel to eat.

Misha clicked her tongue in annoyance. The healing effect was lesser than usual, and she was inflicted with an abnormal status, which never happened before.
Then, she recalled that only hydra-related races could consume virus gels, such as demi-humans, demi-hydras, or dragonewts.
*Mew* (I found silly cells in your circulation system. I'll take care of it.)
"Please do, Tama."
Since the recovering effect was lackluster, Misha brought out a VIP item, a bottle of vitamin drink, and chugged it in one gulp.
+9,999
A blue number appeared above Misha's head, signifying that she had recovered her PF.
As Misha and everyone got ready for potential combat because of Lucien's hostility, the mercenary kobolds also turned around and took their battle stance, facing Lucien.
Seeing that everyone was against him, Lucien roared, "FOOL! I WILL CRUSH YOU ALONGSIDE WITH THAT IMPOSTER!!"
With a stomp, a shockwave similar to the blood tree that Misha had faced burst, sending everyone flying and dealt heavy damage.
7,016!
7,749!
7,245!
All kobolds were sent flying. Fortunately, all their HP was 20,000, so they were not get one-shotted.
Shurka's shield suffered damages for 3 people, but it only reduced less than 20% of her barrier HP. On the other hand, Misha's flame field did not flinch against this kind of attack.
Misha yelled at Lucien, "Damn dog! Calm the fuck down!"
Psionic Puppeteer!
Lucien felt as if his body was tied by countless chains as he could not move his body. Still, he was a field boss for a reason.
*AWOOOO*
Lucien howled. His skin, armor, and his yellow fur turned red as his dark gas around him thickened.
Berserk Mode!
Usually, field bosses would only activate this mode when they were in a near-death state. Yet, Lucien used it when his HP was still at 100%!
He stomped his foot again. However, he did not use his shockwave.
*BOOM*
An earth spike hit Misha's belly!
15,000!
The damage was neglectable.
But…
>
>
Penetration! 1,500!
Misha's real HP dropped from 1,726 to 226 with just one attack!
For the first time, she experienced the horror of facing a boss who could attack through her flame field barrier!
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
Not only was Misha hit, but Shurka, Des, and Moo also suffered from the sudden attack. All of their HP decreased lower than 50%.
Misha and Shurka flapped their wings to avoid another potential earth spike from Lucien. On the other hand, Des and Moo drank a potion and rushed at the kobold knight.
"BEGONE!"
Lucien's eyes flashed as he pulled out his Japanese katana from his sheath, slashing in the direction at Moo and Des.
Although his Iai Slash did not reach either Moo or Des, Lucien's strike created a sword wave, which went past the bodies of the melee attackers.
Des and Moo's bodies were cut in half, severing their torso!
Penetration! 9,999!
Penetration! 9,999!
Without being able to retaliate, Des was sent back to respawn at their pantheons!
Moo's HP also dropped to zero, but one of his skills triggered.
"NYAAAAA!!!"
Moo roared as one of his hero class skills, [Comeback], activated. His HP was restored from 0 to 1, and all his status points temporary increased by a few seconds.
"HA! AN INFERIOR RACE OF A CAT CAN'T BE A KOBOLD'S MATCH!"
Lucien sheathed his katana and stomped his foot, sending another earth spike at Moo.
The felionian disappeared from where he had stood. He reappeared before Lucien and pressed his palm on the katana handle, stopping Lucien from drawing his sword.
Moo opened his mouth and chomped onto Lucien's neck.
2,355!
"YOU!!"
Without waiting for Lucien to react, Moo clenched his jaws and pulled a chunk of meat out of Lucien's neck like a zombie.
Critical! 9,999!
Blood gushed out of the wound and caused additional damage over time.
It was a savage move, but it was effective!
"Don't get cocky! DIE!"
Lucien roared and sent another AOE shockwave around himself, pushing Moo away.
25,000!
The shockwave damage was ridiculous for average players. Had it not been for Shurka's barrier, Moo would have been killed the third time.
As Moo lost the control of his body and flew backward like a ragdoll, Misha flew over and caught the felionian by his neck. She shoved healing potion into his mouth, healing his HP to the max.
"Thanks, sweetheart. This would count as the 7th favor if I didn't miscount. You can borrow my dicku for 70 times in the future, nya!"
Blood veins could be seen on Misha's face.
Instead of dropping Moo on the ground or landing him, Misha winded up like a baseball pitcher and threw Moo back at Lucien.
"YOU'RE MEAN, NYAAAA!!"
Moo cried as his body was launched like a bullet.
Lucien sneered at Moo and Misha as he prepared to chop the cat in half.
At that moment, Misha pointed her palm at Lucien.
Psionic Puppeteer!
Another mind attack again!
Lucien's body froze mid-motion as he could not move. He glared at Misha with hatred.
"DAMN YOU, IMPOSTER!!"
As Lucien dissed out his curse, the felionian bullet, Moo, arrived before him along with his spear.
"CATTO PENETRATION!!"
The spear went through Lucien's knight plate armor and entered his chest.
*SOEK!*
Armor Break! Penetration! 27,197!
Insane damage appeared above Lucien's head as the felionian displayed his racial perk, the [Ignore Defense].
Moo's eyes flare as he activated another attack skill.
"Live Sculpting!"
Sculpting tools, chisels, pickaxes, and hammers materialized in the form of semi-transparent weapons. As if a hundred sculptors were coordinating to make a grand masterpiece, all tools hit Lucien at the same time.
200!
200!
200!
The damage was minuscule, Lucien was hit a hundred times at once within one second, and the skill kept ongoing. In other words, Moo would continue to inflict 20,000 damage a second as long as his power was not interrupted.
Lucien attempted to free from Misha's binding by increasing power again.
Misha could sense it through her skill connection. As she was activating the psionic puppeteer, her mind connected with Lucien, so she could read his thoughts.
"Catto! Dodge!"
She warned Moo as her hands entered her game inventory, fishing out a bucket of Slicky's juice.
Misha hurled the bucket and splashed the content toward Lucien.
By instinct and the smell, Moo canceled his skill and leapt backward, running away from the white juice range.
Then, the white acid liquid hit Lucien.
Misha had seen Slicky in action before, so she knew that his acid was deadly against male creatures. Once hit with a single drop, devastating damages would occur.
9,999!
9,999!
9,999!
This acid juice always dealt fixed damage of 9,999 per second per droplet as long as the male victims had not gotten rid of the liquid on their bodies. Getting soaked by a bucket-worth of this white acid was instant death.
Lucien's HP bar had been depleted, but the game did not notify them that they killed Lucien.
At this moment, Misha was standing next to the melted Lucien. Moo was 10 meters away from the kobold knight while Shurka was still observing the battle in confusion. As for the other kobold mercenaries, they did not dare to attack their former leader.
"MISHA, GET AWAY FROM THAT DOG!!"
Moo was panicked as he knew hot black slimes fought. From his experience, all creatures that were possessed by black slimes would not give experience points to the players after death. Instead, it would lead to another battlefield.
The black slimes inside the dead monsters would invade the nearest player's mind and attack their soul! They would continue the fight in their mind space, similar to the tutorial quest at the beginning of the game.
Misha was also aware of this. She embraced the next stage of the battle.
Lucien's melted body shone as a lump of black gas entered Misha's body.
Her body shook, and Misha's eyes dulled.
Misha temporally could not control her avatar as her soul was summoned back to the soul space.
In a white room, the pool and the empty bungalows were still there. At the center of the pool island, Misha's soul stood firm, replacing the old statue that had been destroyed.
In her hand, her soul crystal glittered, warning Misha about the intruder.
On the opposite side of the pool, Lucien, in the form of black slime, glared at Misha.
"I knew it! You are not our benefactor! Our real savior is a fairy dragon!"
Misha scoffed, "I should have done this earlier to squeeze this information out of you. Who is this benefactor? Who is the other me? What's really your connection with this game's Misha!? WHY ARE YOU ATTACK US!?"
Lucien roared, "NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!"
The second round started.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

All of the doges cried.
"Just kidding. I'll tell Slicky not to harm any of you."

On the other hand, Des and Moo drank a potion and rushed at the kobold knight."BEGONE!"Lucien's eyes flashed as he pulled out his Japanese katana from his sheath, slashing in the direction at Moo and Des.Although his Iai Slash did not reach either Moo or Des, Lucien's strike created a sword wave, which went past the bodies of the melee attackers.Des and Moo's bodies were cut in half, severing their torso!Penetration! 9,999!Penetration! 9,999!Without being able to retaliate, Des was sent back to respawn at their pantheons!Moo's HP also dropped to zero, but one of his skills triggered."NYAAAAA!!!"Moo roared as one of his hero class skills, Comeback, activated. His HP was restored from 0 to 1, and all his status points temporary increased by a few seconds."HA! AN INFERIOR RACE OF A CAT CAN'T BE A KOBOLD'S MATCH!"Lucien sheathed his katana and stomped his foot, sending another earth spike at Moo.The felionian disappeared from where he had stood. He reappeared before Lucien and pressed his palm on the katana handle, stopping Lucien from drawing his sword.Moo opened his mouth and chomped onto Lucien's neck.2,355!"YOU!!"Without waiting for Lucien to react, Moo clenched his jaws and pulled a chunk of meat out of Lucien's neck like a zombie.Critical! 9,999!Blood gushed out of the wound and caused additional damage over time.It was a savage move, but it was effective!"Don't get cocky! DIE!"Lucien roared and sent another AOE shockwave around himself, pushing Moo away.25,000!The shockwave damage was ridiculous for average players. Had it not been for Shurka's barrier, Moo would have been killed the third time.As Moo lost the control of his body and flew backward like a ragdoll, Misha flew over and caught the felionian by his neck. She shoved healing potion into his mouth, healing his HP to the max."Thanks, sweetheart. This would count as the 7th favor if I didn't miscount. You can borrow my dicku for 70 times in the future, nya!"Blood veins could be seen on Misha's face.Instead of dropping Moo on the ground or landing him, Misha winded up like a baseball pitcher and threw Moo back at Lucien."YOU'RE MEAN, NYAAAA!!"Moo cried as his body was launched like a bullet.Lucien sneered at Moo and Misha as he prepared to chop the cat in half.At that moment, Misha pointed her palm at Lucien.Psionic Puppeteer!Another mind attack again!Lucien's body froze mid-motion as he could not move. He glared at Misha with hatred."DAMN YOU, IMPOSTER!!"As Lucien dissed out his curse, the felionian bullet, Moo, arrived before him along with his spear."CATTO PENETRATION!!"The spear went through Lucien's knight plate armor and entered his chest.*SOEK!*Armor Break! Penetration! 27,197!Insane damage appeared above Lucien's head as the felionian displayed his racial perk, the Ignore Defense.Moo's eyes flare as he activated another attack skill."Live Sculpting!"Sculpting tools, chisels, pickaxes, and hammers materialized in the form of semi-transparent weapons. As if a hundred sculptors were coordinating to make a grand masterpiece, all tools hit Lucien at the same time.200!200!200!The damage was minuscule, Lucien was hit a hundred times at once within one second, and the skill kept ongoing. In other words, Moo would continue to inflict 20,000 damage a second as long as his power was not interrupted.Lucien attempted to free from Misha's binding by increasing power again.Misha could sense it through her skill connection. As she was activating the psionic puppeteer, her mind connected with Lucien, so she could read his thoughts."Catto! Dodge!"She warned Moo as her hands entered her game inventory, fishing out a bucket of Slicky's juice.Misha hurled the bucket and splashed the content toward Lucien.By instinct and the smell, Moo canceled his skill and leapt backward, running away from the white juice range.Then, the white acid liquid hit Lucien.Misha had seen Slicky in action before, so she knew that his acid was deadly against male creatures. Once hit with a single drop, devastating damages would occur.9,999!9,999!9,999!This acid juice always dealt fixed damage of 9,999 per second per droplet as long as the male victims had not gotten rid of the liquid on their bodies. Getting soaked by a bucket-worth of this white acid was instant death.Lucien's HP bar had been depleted, but the game did not notify them that they killed Lucien.At this moment, Misha was standing next to the melted Lucien. Moo was 10 meters away from the kobold knight while Shurka was still observing the battle in confusion. As for the other kobold mercenaries, they did not dare to attack their former leader."MISHA, GET AWAY FROM THAT DOG!!"Moo was panicked as he knew hot black slimes fought. From his experience, all creatures that were possessed by black slimes would not give experience points to the players after death. Instead, it would lead to another battlefield.The black slimes inside the dead monsters would invade the nearest player's mind and attack their soul! They would continue the fight in their mind space, similar to the tutorial quest at the beginning of the game.Misha was also aware of this. She embraced the next stage of the battle.Lucien's melted body shone as a lump of black gas entered Misha's body.Her body shook, and Misha's eyes dulled.Misha temporally could not control her avatar as her soul was summoned back to the soul space.In a white room, the pool and the empty bungalows were still there. At the center of the pool island, Misha's soul stood firm, replacing the old statue that had been destroyed.In her hand, her soul crystal glittered, warning Misha about the intruder.On the opposite side of the pool, Lucien, in the form of black slime, glared at Misha."I knew it! You are not our benefactor! Our real savior is a fairy dragon!"Misha scoffed, "I should have done this earlier to squeeze this information out of you. Who is this benefactor? Who is the other me? What's really your connection with this game's Misha!? WHY ARE YOU ATTACK US!?"Lucien roared, "NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!"The second round started.
