Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 81 – Cat Dad in Three-Way Battle

Despite being hostile against Xiaomao and his crewmates, Comet didn’t attack them right away. He waved his hand, gesturing them to enter the mansion. The group entered the mansion as requested.

Upon entering the mansion, Xiaomao dropped his jaws. Instead of calling it a mansion, it should be called a palace.

The tiles on the silver marble floor were embedded with countless sapphire magic gemstones, which collected mana in the air and provided cool air to the palace. The walls were painted in real gold, and the white gold frame on the pillars covered the exuding cold air from the mysterious black metal inside.

The half-oval ceiling was also covered with oil paintings, which resembled classic arts in the real world. However, they told the stories of the war between Mazinger God Pangu and Chaos Demon Gods, and they depicted how Pangu vanquished each demon.

Strangely, all Chaos Demon Gods had no face, nose, ears, eyes, or hair. Their faces were blank as if the painters were too lazy to make the demon god’s faces.

Xiaomao continued to admire the painting. Then, he noticed that all Chaos Demon Gods had angel-like wings. Some had black wings while many had white.

The largest painting on the wall, on the other hand, told another story. In the painting, a massive bicolor cat stared down at Pangu, who collapsed on his knees because of his injuries. On the right of the massive cat was an angel with a black and white wing, but he had a blurred face. He was holding a black katana and sneering at Pangu. On the left side was a gorgeous female angel with transparent wings, who turned her face to a kneeling Oni.

The plate under the massive painting showed its name.

Tyrant God, His Minions, and the Defeated Savior

Xiaomao narrowed his eyes as he didn’t believe in the title. On the contrary, it was the other way around. That painting’s title should have been “Savior Defeated Evil God Pangu”.

Xiaomao gazed at the bicolor cat. For some reason, the cat in the painting reminded him of Mu-Nyang as the giant cat had the same obnoxious expression as his partner.

Comet stopped his feet. He turned around and noticed that Xiaomao had been gazing at the wall painting for too long.

“Stop looking at the heretic gods. Come this way!”_.

‘Heretic gods? The cat god? Is he a dog person, or does he hate cats? What an uncult swine.’

.

The group walked up the stairs and stopped in front of the biggest room on the third floor. When they reached the front of the room, they found a squad of ten level-100 guards, standing in a formation and guarding the entrance.

Comet saluted and reported, “These sailors claimed that they fled from a pirate fleet, and one of them is the catopus that the emperor is looking for. I brought them here to make the report.”

The bodyguard captain glared at Comet, “Who are the sailors?”

Comet glanced at Xiaomao, “This heretic’s descendant, Xiaomao.”

Xiaomao raised his brows while Lucky and Shepherd’s expressions turned dark.

‘Heretic’s descendant? Me? I see I see. You must be one of those human supremacists? This makes things a lot easier!’

Xiaomao was confident that this branch of the merchant guild would meet its demise soon. Now that the crucial information was confirmed, Xiaomao had no reason to be polite.

One of the bodyguards entered the room while the other nine stopped Comet and others from going further. A couple minutes later, the bodyguard came out.

“Arrest them and throw them in prison. Lord Tupeer is too busy at the moment, and he has no time to entertain uninvited guests with dubious backgrounds. Even if the person is wanted by the emperor, it’s none of his business!”

Comet smirked. He turned to Xiaomao, Lucky, and Shepherd while he pulled out his sword.

“You all are under arrest for trespassing to Bit City. Surrender and come with me!”

“…”

Lucky and Shepherd glanced at Xiaomao, getting ready to fight.

But Xiaomao had another idea.

“Tell your master that I have a spirit stone, munya,” Shouted Xiaomao.

Comet laughed, “Whatever you have, we will confiscate everything anyway!”

While Comet was laughing, Xiaomao flickered one of the corrupted spirit stones into the former’s mouth. The latter swallowed it unintentionally.

“Retreat to our ship, munya!”

Shepherd carried Xiaomao in his arms while Lucky pulled out her tower shield and a bastard sword that had been hanging on her back.

Lucky acted as the rearguard, raising her tower shield to block Comet and the bodyguards’ vision. As for Shepherd, he dashed down the stairs with Xiaomao in his arms.

Comet bellowed and swung his sword at Lucky’s tower shield.

CLANK!

51

Despite being level 100, Comet couldn’t deal a lot of damage to Lucky, who had over 2,500 points in total physical defense. This value didn’t include the other abilities and passive buff from the Galm Armor Set.

AWOOO!

Lucky howled, and her voice shattered all glass windows, luxurious vases, and potteries in the mansion. The bodyguards and Comet collapsed on their knees, and their ears bled. Floating over their heads was the number [2,000], which was the fixed damage from the skill.

The soldiers in the mansion were also inflicted with an abnormal status, [Fear]. None of them could attack, activate skills, or cast a spell for a brief moment.

That was Warg Lord’s skill that came with the armor set, Warcry.

Lucky smirked and kicked the ground, running away from the group and following Xiaomao and Shepherd.

A minute later, all soldiers in the mansion regained their composure. Their red names flashed as they were now hostile against Xiaomao and his crewmates.

“KILL THEM ALL!”

.

Shepherd dashed and jumped like a parkour master even though he was a fisherman. He didn’t even bother looking back at Lucky as he prioritized getting back to the boat first.

However, as soon as he was out of the mansion, Xiaomao gave him another order.

“To the side house, munya!”

“???”

Shepherd widened his eyes and stopped running to look at his master in confusion.

“Side house! To that haunted house area, munya!”

Unable to talk, Shepherd pursed his lips. He ran and carried Xiaomao toward the abandoned section of the mansion right away.

As they got further to the unmaintained road, Shepherd finally understood why his master wanted him to this place. On the sides, tall grasses covered their field of vision. Bushes and trees looked like something from a rainforest as none of them was trimmed.

Shepherd jumped into one of the bushes while nobody had seen them yet. Then, he lay prone on the ground.

Because of the commotion, Magdalene came out. She immediately rushed out and flew toward Lucky, who had just come out from the mansion.

Lucky spotted Magdalene, and she followed the fairy to another bush and covered herself with leaves and tall grasses.

A few seconds later, Comet and others came out of the mansion. They looked around to see where Xiaomao and others were, but they couldn’t find them.

“Search! They couldn’t have gone far!”

The bodyguards and Comet dashed toward the main gate and the maze, where they suspected that Xiaomao might be hiding.

.

A kilometer away from Bit Town port, a black hovering ship approached the town at the speed of 60 knots, which surpassed the ordinary frigate’s speed. It didn’t slow down even though it got closer to the land.

Town guards noticed the incoming ship. A spotter on the caravel’s top mast looked through his binocular telescope and saw the pirate flag of the incoming ship. He rang the bell and shouted.

“PIRATE!!”

Town guards stopped what they had been doing and grabbed their weapons. Some of the sailors boarded the caravel in panic while the fishermen brought out bows, crossbows, pistols, and blades, preparing to fight.

Their names changed. Instead of displaying their names as Fisherman Level 80, they became Bit Tupeer Gang Member Level 80.

All fisherman’s boats rushed toward the incoming ship as if they were trained to do so. The caravel removed the anchor, and the ship crews lowered their sails.

Unfortunately, the black frigate was too fast. It reached the port within a minute and flew over the fishing boats.

ZAAAA

ZAAAA

Suddenly, ten ghost ships emerged from the sea and appeared in the middle of the fishing boats’ formation. Hundreds of skeleton crewmates leaped from their ships and landed on the fishing boats.

KAKAKAKA

Combat between field monsters and NPCs ensued.

Meanwhile, the black ship rammed the caravel, which hadn’t left the port yet. Fragments of woods and debris scattered in the air, yet the black ship was unharmed. Town guard crews jumped off their ships as they didn’t expect a direct collision.

However, the collision killed the vessel’s speed and momentum. It crash-landed and destroyed half of the port before it stopped moving forward.

WHOOSH

The skeleton captain leisurely jumped off his ship. His green aura and green eye stared straight at the city before him.

KAKAKAKA (Find the Regressor! Kill the rest!)

Two hundred level-100 skeleton pirates got off their flagship and brandished their swords, blades, and daggers. They clattered their teeth and charged toward the nearest NPCs.
