Chapter 185: 24K’s Death
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“24K!”

Feng Luo, who quickly turned around to see this scene, screamed as both his eyes widened!

Your pet is dead. Level decreased to Level 29. Loyalty Points decreased by 10%. Countdown to revival: 72 hours!

The system’s notification made Feng Luo’s heart sink even more. After that, he immediately looked at his Pet Bracer. On the bracer, the pet’s status had turned to “Dead!”

At that time, the searing crimson black energy flames in the air had finished burning. A black object dropped from within and fell onto the sandy ground that was glowing red. One could vaguely tell that it was the shape of a bug.

“24K…” Feng Luo had an odd feeling that he couldn’t understand upon witnessing the scene before him. He felt depressed, guilty, and a little bit angry…

Technically, 24K was only a virtual pet in a game. Feng Luo, who could clearly differentiate the game from reality, had been mentally prepared to face 24K’s death in battle, so his emotions should not have fluctuated the way they did. But what Feng Luo did not expect was that 24K’s first death would be through a method that completely exceeded his expectations, which was why it affected Feng Luo emotionally for a moment.

Perhaps, from a logical perspective, the previous scene was but a change in a bunch of data. Or perhaps it was the result of the system’s calculation after 24K’s loyalty points reached 80 percent, which had made 24K “save” its master.

But another more sensible scene kept repeating itself in Feng Luo’s mind: the fear and panic in 24K’s little eyes as its claws had clenched tightly to Feng Luo’s combat uniform. 24K, who was incredibly sensitive to energy fluctuations, had clearly felt the danger of the “thing” flying toward them at high speed. It knew full well that it could easily kill it.

No! It would not only kill it, but it would also kill its master.

And with 24K’s not-so-high but not-so-low AI, which was around the intelligence of a child, it calculated and concluded that if it were to continue running like that, both it and its master would die. As such, as it felt that there was no way to avoid the fatal danger, it had released its claws holding the master’s body in the last second and flown in the opposite direction of its master—charging toward the incoming fireball like a moth darting into a flame!

At that moment, perhaps it did not even know that it could be revived after dying…

Revival! Yes, the Pet Badge!

As he thought about revival, Feng Luo immediately reached into his backpack and quickly pulled out the Badge of Honor that could not be dropped or traded. Feng Luo had noticed that a “Revive Pet” option was added among the stats of the badge.

“Revive!”

Feng Luo seemed anxious as he clicked the option.

The pet is a Special Boss-grade Pet. Credits Required to Revive at the Current Level: 15,000. Confirm?

“Revive!”

Feng Luo did not hesitate.

Since you used the Badge of Honor to revive the pet, the death penalty of the pet has been halved. Experience reduction decreased to 50% of current level. Loyalty points decrease reduced to 5%.

Vwoong!

Immediately after that, a bright white light appeared from the Pet Badge and shone on 24K’s burnt corpse on the ground. After that, the corpse disappeared.

And in front of Feng Luo, 24K’s golden body, which was slightly larger than a fist, gradually appeared. It went from vague and illusory to firm and real. However, all six of its tiny claws were still tangled together. Its little eyes remained tightly shut as if it was afraid and was enduring something…

After a few seconds, a hand caught 24K, who was falling straight from the air toward the ground. Upon noticing a familiar scent, 24K cautiously opened its two tiny eyes. What it saw was Feng Luo’s smiling face gazing down at him.

An intimate feeling came through the mental link. Immediately and happily, 24K climbed back onto its master’s shoulder along his combat uniform.

“Here!”

Feng Luo rubbed it with his finger and put a silver crystal he had taken from his backpack into 24K’s tiny claws. After that, he raised the Eye of the Thunder and looked toward the battlefield that had quieted down a while ago.

At that time, the entire desert behind him had become dead silent. Even Feng Luo, a Sniper who was 800 meters away, had hardly escaped the Fire Ant Queen Boss’ last crimson-black Fireball, so how would any of the other players who were closer to the Boss have any chance to survive?

“Yeah—no, wait! Someone is actually still alive?

Within his sight through the Eye of the Thunder, behind the sandhill across the back of the Ant Queen Boss, three people crawled out.

Feng Luo recognized them. Those three were among the group of people who had been oddly retreating when everyone else was scrambling forward to get the loot dropped by the Quasi-boss.

At that time, among the three, a player who looked like a Doctor was injecting a dark red colored syringe into the bodies of two Heavy Armor Warriors wearing red armor. Immediately after that, the two Heavy Armor Warriors actually cast the skill Charge, raised their shields, and charged toward the Fire Ant Queen.

Boom!

Upon seeing two tiny bugs appear in the “territory” that was just cleared, the Fire Ant Queen Boss lowered its head, opened its mouth, and released a sandstorm tornado formed by dark crimson flames at the two Heavy Armor Warriors.

The damage actually did not reach 4,000! A long-range breath skill of the Desert Fire Ant Queen that had evolved to a Boss monster actually failed to instkill those Heavy Armor Warriors. Even the HP that was lost was being recovered quickly due to the strong blood tonic the Doctor had given the two of them earlier.

Without a doubt, they were equipped with full sets of fire-resistant gear and were also injected with very special fire-resistant potions.

“But why did they Charge at the Boss?”

Feng Luo was suspicious as he looked through the Eye of the Thunder. It was definitely a suicidal move, so it was really weird. However, he did not think that those people were idiots; they definitely had their reasons for charging at the monster at that moment.

The two Heavy Armor Warriors charged at high speed after casting Charge. Before long, they were already right beside the Fire Ant Queen.

“Tssst!”

However, the Fire Ant Queen was already roaring in a rage. It released a skill that looked like a sea of fire beside it.

The searing red flames burned the sand as black smoke rose into the air. Although the flames were only around half a meter tall, it roasted and morphed the surrounding landscape.

The moment the two Heavy Armor Warriors stepped into the sea of flames, continuous damage over time (DOT) numbers of around 500 each immediately appeared above their heads. Clearly, even if they had full sets of fire-resistant gear paired with potions, it was obvious they wouldn’t be able to hold out for long against a Boss of this level.

As expected, within 10 seconds, and by the time the two Warriors reached the side of the Fire Ant Queen, two white lights flashed within the searing sea of flames. But Feng Luo also sharply noticed that, before being killed, one of the Heavy Armor Warriors injected a silvery white syringe he held in his hand into the abdomen of the Fire Ant Boss.

“Tssst!”

The Fire Ant Queen’s eyes actually showed pain before it let out a crazy roar. Immediately after that, the fire energy around its body suddenly rose into the air. The sky was gradually filled with dark fire energy. It looked as if water was flowing upward into the sky.

After a few seconds, with the Fire Ant Queen Boss at the center, a large amount of fire energy condensed and transformed into an incredibly dark and heavy cloud of fire over 500 meters above the Boss monster’s body.

Energy that was difficult to withstand also spread outward from the clouds.

This is probably the real, final ultimate skill!

At that moment, Feng Luo, who held the Eye of the Thunder while watching from afar, dared not breathe. It was because he could clearly feel the oppressive energy coming from the cloud in the sky even from so far away. Even 24K, whose six limbs were all clenched tightly to Feng Luo’s combat uniform, had dropped the silver crystal it was munching on to the ground.

Is this Boss really just at Level 45? Why do I feel like it’s even crazier than the one we encountered in the Town of Exiles?

Feng Luo could not help but feel suspicious again.

But at that moment—a sudden mutation! It became lighter, and the dark energy in the abdomen also began to show signs of collapse.

On the battlefield, with the dark, burning clouds in the sky serving as a background, the Fire Ant Queen Boss looked majestic and incredible. But then, the dark crimson flames on the surface of its body began to fluctuate as the color of its large wings also began to change. Even the dark, burning clouds in the sky that were already formed started to dissipate!
