Seeing the raw stats of Torrent, Xiaomao swallowed his saliva. He realized how lucky he was.

First, this raw status was not Torrent’s true strength. The real abilities of this pirate king were twice stronger than what was showing on his screen.

Secondly, the skills seemed terrifying. Because Xiaomao didn’t fight Torrent directly, the pirate didn’t get to use half of his skills and spells. In addition, had Torrent been calmer, he would have spammed range skills, such as Aerial Slash, Leap, Lion Roar, or other unique skills, which could have killed Xiaomao.

And lastly, these raw stats didn’t include the perks of his equipment and accessories. Xiaomao glanced at one of the white bone necklaces that dropped from Torrent earlier.

.

Underworld Bone Necklace

Forged by Solomon, the Demon King of the Underworld. He gifted the necklace to Torrent when the former pirate king accidentally visited the underworld for the first time after he had become an undead.

The necklace contains a drop of Solomon’s blood essence, which allows the wearer to travel between the mortal worlds to the underworld. Bear in mind that you will be trapped in the underworld if you don’t know the way out.

Item Type: Accessory

Rarity: Super Rare

Requirement: Level 100, 2,000 Dark Spiritual Root

Effects: Equipping this item gives the wearer the following abilities and bonuses;

– Increase M.ATK by 1,000

– Increase all retainers’ ATK and M.ATK by 500

– Successful physical attacks have a high chance of inflicting [Death Brand] on the targets.

– Can activate a skill [Underworld Recall] once a day.

*[Death Brand] – Upon death, the corpse will be resurrected as an undead creature. The strength of the undead creature is the same as when they were a mortal.

*[?????? Instinct]: Don’t go to the underworld without a karmic ability, or you will be trapped there forever.

*[Foresight]: Never wear this regardless of how tempting it is. Solomon can track you down and forcefully pull you to the underworld if you wear it!

.

That was one dangerous item! Without the advice from Instinct-Senpai and Foresight-Senpai, Xiaomao might have equipped the ring in the future.

Xiaomao sighed and thought of the full power of Torrent when he was fully equipped. He wondered how strong this world boss was when he was prepared for a serious fight.

“I’m so lucky, munya.”

KAKAKAKA (Yeah, you’re just lucky! Wait until Lord Nian comes and gets you!)

“Yeah, yeah. Lord Nian this, Lord Nian that. You’re such a sore loser, munya!”

KAKAKAKA! (Just you wait! Once I break this stupid choker, I’ll get my revenge!)

“Is that so?”

Xiaomao laughed and cast a lightning bolt on Torrent.

BANG

Torrent’s HP decreased by 15,000, but it wasn’t enough to threaten him. The skeleton clattered his jaws in anger.

KAKAKAKA (Is that it? You can’t do shit!)

“…”

BANG

Another lightning bolt electrocuted the bone man. His green bone shone brighter, and the HP decreased by another 15,000.

Torrent scoffed. Although being struck by lightning was painful, he continued clattering his jaws.

KAKAKAKA (Is that your best shot?)

BANG

Again, Xiaomao lashed him with another lightning bolt.

KAKAKAKA (Ha! Now, you’re acting like a whining kid!)

BANG

KAKAKAKA (Keep it going. I can stay here all day long!)

BANG

KAKAKA (Now, you’re just annoying.)

BANG

KAKA (Seriously, stop that. It’s annoying.)

BANG

KAKA (Err…)

BANG

BANG

BANG

Xiaomao expressionlessly spammed the skill and kept hitting his slave with lightning bolts. Even though the lightning slowly burnt the green bones, it hadn’t melted the metal choker yet.

Since Torrent threatened him with Nian, Xiaomao didn’t mind killing him again. This time, he planned to thoroughly remove him.

One minute passed by, and Torrent faced the horrifying effect of Xiaomao’s ongoing skill effect again.

30,000 Damage!

A green and a blue number appeared over Xiaomao’s head, but a giant red number appeared on top of Torrent’s head. Once again, Torrent’s HP and MP were leeched.

Torrent had enough. He regenerated his arms and legs, preparing to retaliate.

However, his body suddenly turned stiff, and Torrent could now see a system message before he collapsed to the ground.

DING

<You cannot attack your master!>

KAKAKAKA (What the hell is this?!)

BANG

BANG

Lightning bolts punished Torrent one after another. One of them hit his knee, destroying his kneecaps and disjointing the leg parts.

Torrent fell on the rocky shore and glared at Xiaomao with hatred.

BANG

BANG

No mercy to the traitor with 0% loyalty, Xiaomao raised his staff and punished Torrent again. If possible, he would kill him like this.

Noticing the killing intent in Xiaomao’s eyes, Torrent sent a shiver running down his spine.

KAKAKA! (Wait, regressor! Let’s talk!)

BANG! 15,514!

RUMBLE! 30,000!

Xiaomao and the choker didn’t stop.

KAKAKAKA! (OW! Okay! You’ve made your point! STOP THIS!)

BANG! 15,281!

BANG! 15,953!

KAKAKAKA! (Okay, I was impulsive, and I’m sorry! Let’s be civil and-)

BANG! 15,459!

BANG! 15,136!

KAKAKAKA! (STOP! PLEASE!)

BANG! 15,102!

BANG! 15,129!

KAKAKAKA! (I’M SORRY! I WAS KIDDING!)

BANG! 15,291!

RUMBLE! 30,000!

KAAAA! (NOOOOO!!)

Torrent wailed. Even though he had no physical eyes, his flame eyeballs gushed out green water.

Xiaomao narrowed his eyes and checked his skill cooldown, preparing to cast Lightning Storm on him.

DING

<Torrent’s loyalty has increased. Current Loyalty: 20%>

<Torrent hates you with a passion. Current Hatred: 5 Stars.>

Xiaomao rolled his eyes and spat at the skeleton, “I see that you still hate me, munya. I don’t believe in disobedient slaves!”

He brought out a potion bottle, which was filled with sacred water. Although it wasn’t full, it was lethal enough to torture this pirate.

KAAAA! (NOOOO! NOT THAT WATER!!)

DING

<Torrent’s loyalty has increased. Current Loyalty: 35%>

<Torrent doesn’t want to die again. Current Hatred: 4.5 Stars.>

“You still hate me, munya.”

Xiaomao opened the bottle lit and poured a few drops on Torrent’s head.

KAAAA! (NOOOO! IT HURTS! STOP THIS BLASPHEMY, PLEASE!)

DING

<Torrent’s loyalty has increased. Current Loyalty: 50%>

<Torrent wants this nightmare to stop. Current Hatred: 3 Stars.>

“You still hate me, munya.”

DING

<Torrent’s loyalty has increased. Current Loyalty: 75%>

<Torrent wants to wake up from this nightmarish dream. Current Hatred: 1 Star.>

“Hmm.”

Xiaomao pulled the bottle back and stored it in his inventory. He walked toward the crying skeleton, who couldn’t even sit up properly.

The catopus patted him.

“Do you wanna live, munya?”

Torrent repeatedly nodded.

Seeing that Torrent stopped throwing tantrums, Xiaomao decided not to kill him at the moment. Instead, he tested the class skill that he had never used on him to see its effect.

Slave Training!

Torrent’s green bones shone in golden light, and the game messages confirmed his skill effect.

<You have used Slave Training on Torrent.>

<For 10 minutes, Torrent cannot disobey your commands.>

<For 10 minutes, Torrent can obtain 100% bonus EXP upon defeating monsters. If he defeats a monster with a higher level, he might learn a new skill.>

Xiaomao pursed his lips. He reminisced about the game forums in his previous life, trying to recall the hints and tips from other players.

In the forum, players remarked that Slave Training was useful for increasing the loyalty of the temperamental slaves. To make use of this skill, the Slavemaster could utilize the carrot and stick technique, punishment and reward tactic, or love and care education method.

In this case, Torrent had another master, and that master was one of the most dangerous final bosses of the game. The mentioned methods might not work against him.

Taking another risk, Xiaomao brought out the Refined Entity Crystal from his inventory and showed it to Torrent.

“No matter what happened, do not attack me, munya.”

Before Torrent could raise his hand and grab the crystal, Xiaomao pushed the crystal against the pirate’s forehead.

Suddenly, Torrent’s green bone melted, shredding the layer of colored bone!

CLANK!

Not only did Torrent’s green bones turn white, the choker on his neck shattered!

DING

<Torrent is immune to curses!>

<The Curse of Nian has been removed!>

<The Curse of Slavery has been removed!>

<Torrent has recovered from the [Weaken] state!>

<Warning! Torrent has been freed!>

“CRAP!”

Xiaomao put the refined entity crystal back in his inventory and hopped on the flying sword, preparing to flee from here.

However, the feedback didn’t stop there.

<The Curse of Solomon has been removed!>

<The Curse of Undead has been removed!>

<The Curse of Chang’e has been removed!>

This guy was a curse bearer! Xiaomao couldn’t believe how many curses Torrent had been hiding.

The white bones of Torrent dissipated to dust, leaving the glowing dark orb behind.
