Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 118 – Cat Dad’s First Sea PVP (5)

Climbing on the stern of Wellerboy, Butter Tank, Cherry Popper, and the guild members of Claymore United Guild got on the ship. They ignored the sea of fire and the chaos behind them, focusing on their opponents on board.

Lucky raised her tower shield in front of her with her left arm while her right hand tightly held a maul hammer. Behind her, a certain fisherman mage didn’t conserve his mana, unleashing Water Shotgun upon the closest target.

Guild mates of Butter Tank got shot in the chest and stomach, causing large holes and knocking the victim backward.

Shepherd took a deep breath and waited for the cooldown to reset. He manipulated a mass of water to become a shield between him and the intruders.

Behind Shepherd, James held a level-50 spear, standing ready. However, as he was weaker than Shepherd, he chose to position himself as a supporter instead of being near Lucky.

Xiaomao, who was always at the helm, widely grinned. His crossbow aimed at Cherry Popper and pulled the trigger.

SWOOSH

A bolt pierced the center of the woman’s forehead.

HEADSHOT CRITICAL!

Cherry Popper suffered 4,000 damage, but she survived with 20% HP. The woman calmly drank a red potion and restored her HP to 50%.

ɴ[0)ᴠᴇʟ SWOOSH

Another bolt came from Xiaomao, but it was glowing. Cherry Popper ducked and dodged the projectile by a hairbreadth. Because the girl dodged the attack, the bolt hit the player’s head behind her, who had just climbed up on the ship.

The bolt detonated, causing the player’s head to burst open like an exploded watermelon. Several items were ejected from the dead player’s inventory and scattered on the deck.

Xiaomao smirked. He suddenly aimed up and fired a bolt.

The crossbow bolt multiplied from one to a thousand. They rained upon the players, who were crowded behind Wellerboy. Then, explosions followed as Xiaomao’s ammunition was an explosive round.

Game messages continued to inform Xiaomao that his negative karma was increasing. Instead of being worried, Xiaomao cackled.

“Give me your items, MUNYARR!”_.

Xiaomao joined the dark side.

Butter Tank hadn’t seen the power of a super-rare skill or spell before. He looked behind him and saw a horrifying scene.

“What the hell?!”

While Butter Tank was distracted, Lucky swung her maul hammer at his shield. The tanker was pushed back ten steps and suffered 500 damage.

The damage was weak, but Butter Tank’s expression turned dark. Normally, whenever a player successfully blocked an attack, the damage was always negated, and the player would suffer no damage.

However, in the case that a defender received damage after a successful defense, it implied many things.

‘A maul hammer? A blunt weapon! Dammit, she’s an anti-tank tanker!’

Blunt weapons sometimes ignored the defender’s physical defense properties, and Lucky’s weapon of choice had that property. Moreover, Lucky was a dungeon floor’s boss, and her growth status was not the same as the players.

.

Although Lucky had never consumed a spirit stone or increased her attributes by using items, her raw stats exponentially rose, especially her HP and MP.

In despair, Butter Tank charged at Xiaomao.

Lucky saw that coming. She sidestepped and cut their path.

Butter Tank clicked his tongue and bashed his shield against Lucky’s tower shield.

Lucky didn’t flinch. She stood firm and pushed her shield against Butter Tank’s round shield.

BANG

Butter Tank stumbled and sat on his butt. At that moment, Lucky widely swung her maul hammer at his face.

BANG

It was a direct hit, but it only dealt 1,000 damage, which was not enough to kill a high-HP shieldsman.

Unfortunately for Butter Tank, blunt weapons were known to be anti-tank weapons for a reason. As soon as the strike connected, Butter Tank received an abnormal status.

<You have been stunned for two seconds.>

<Your helmet has been distorted because of the strike. You have been stunned by an additional five seconds.

Five seconds was enough for Lucky to follow up with another strike. She raised her maul and smashed him again.

BANG

1,500 Damage!

<You have been stunned for two seconds.>

<Your helmet has been distorted because of the strike. You have been stunned by an additional five seconds.

Just like that, Butter Tank got stun-locked. He could no longer move or react to Lucky’s attacks.

“THIS IS CHEATING!”

Lucky didn’t say anything. She mindlessly smashed Butter Tank’s helmet and face over and over again.

Meanwhile, as Lucky and Butter Tank got into a fight, other members of Claymore United Guild crawled on the boat and charged toward Xiaomao and Shepherd.

Cherry Popper also started casting spells. She summoned a fire lance and threw it at Xiaomao.

SHHHHH

A massive wall of water appeared in front of Xiaomao and Shepherd. The fire lance hit the water wall and dispersed.

Cherry Popper knew that skill. She narrowed her eyes.

“Water Manipulation? Nice try, but I have a rare spell!”

Cherry Popper began chanting a new spell while her colleagues managed to get close to Xiaomao and Shepherd.

BANG

Shepherd fired the water shotgun at the nearest player and one-shotted him. Avoiding a close-quarter fight, he retreated five steps.

Xiaomao also hopped on his favorite flying sword and flew away from the players. As he was kiting the pursuers, James took a step forward and stabbed at the nearest player’s neck.

Fatal Critical!

Xiaomao and Shepherd were surprised by the unique critical hit and turned to James. The latter grinned and pulled his spear out of the opponent’s neck, reducing the player’s HP by 95%.

The Fatal Critical was similar to the DOUBLE CRITICAL that Xiaomao exploited against Gnolls. However, instead of dealing two times the critical damage, it instantly decreased his opponent’s HP by 70% to 100% at random.

This was James’s unique ability, which his character was born with.

Name: James Greatman

Race: High Human

Rarity: Rare

Job: Elite Spearman

Unique Skill: Fighting Instinct, Fatal Strike

Racial Skill: Adaptability

.

James turned to Cherry Popper and sneered at his former master, who recognized the retainer.

“JAMES! YOU’RE MY SERVANT! HOW DARE YOU BETRAY ME?!”

James flipped a middle finger at Cherry Popper before he took a step back, dodging a swordsman’s slash attack. Then, his spear plunged into the chest of the swordsman.

FATAL CRITICAL

Again, James’s passive skill, Fighting Instinct, amplified his critical chance. Moreover, Fatal Strike guaranteed that all critical damages from him would always be Fatal Critical.

Looking at James’s combat prowess, Cherry Popper was infuriated. She summoned a fire tornado.

SWOOSH

PUEK

A crossbow bolt came out of nowhere and pierced through her right eye, dealing a headshot critical damage. Her HP dropped to zero, and her magic was canceled.

“Another one bites the dust, MUNYARR!”

The murderer was on the flying sword. The cat cackled as he slowly picked off stragglers on the frigate while he rained explosive bolts and shaman fireballs at the crowd in the sea.

Butter Hammer could only gaze at Xiaomao and regretted his decision.

“So that’s how a true P2W player fights?”
