[VRMMO] Chaos Doctor

[Round 2]

[The Destruction By Slashing]

[You have completed the second round.]

[You had been granted the recovery effect for passing the trial.]

(Welp... I was freaking right.) – thought Maparapara as she stood over a humanoid monster remains which had several tendril sword arms attached to its body.

(The difficulty did noticeable increased.)

(I still could handle it, but I needed to use more skills this time to beat the bastard.)

(...The third round will be when I will be definitely struggling.) – thought Maparapara as she suddenly received message from Phantasia.

["Sup. How things are going? I’m outside, dealing with annoyance."] – Phantasia.

["Honest question. Do you think you can beat the dungeon in a single try?"]

"..."

(Welp, impatient fucker.) – thought annoyed slime girl.

"..."

(Then again...)

"..."

["50/50"] – Maparapara.

["I’m not sure if I can beat this place on first try though."]

(I’m not kidding.) – thought Maparapara.

(I can probably still handle the third round with 100% confidence.)

(But the fourth and fifth one?)

(If the difficulty spike will increase that much each time, then I’m not so sure.)

"..."

(Still, it is better try then just run away.)

"I’m ready." – said Maparapara.

"HIT ME!"

[Round 3 begins]

"..."

(Welp, I honestly expected this answer.) – thought Phantasia as he was drinking some potions, while standing in the middle of the devasted battlefield which was filled with remains of the players.

(But still... These guys didn’t retreated?)

(I mean, they must had noticed that their friends must had gone offline or something, telling them that they had killed them.)

(Not only that, but my false harpies are flying high into the air.)

(True, they may have problem with spotting the enemy since they are quiet high in the skies in order to dodge the debuff field, but they can still spot somebody.)

(And yet... And fucking yet, they are still here.)

"Ah... Pain in the ass." – said Phantasia.

"..."

(Bastards.) – thought Phantasia as he stopped in his tracks.

(I’m being stalked right now, aren’t I?)

(The presence of these nobodies makes no sense at all.)

(True, they maybe searching around in the cost of their own lives over and over again, but that is still stupid.)

(The enemy should by now be fully aware who I’m and what I can do.)

(And yet, they are still sending THESE FUCKING WEAKLINGS?!)

(They are not fucking using numbers to search this place!)

(They are fucking with me.) – thought Phantasia as he continued walking.

(The only logical explanation here would be if somebody is observing me from the shadows.)

(Somebody who can easily track me without me even being able to notice them.)

(My detection is strong, but not perfect. I’m not as good as the detection specialist, but I still have number in monsters, which somewhat makes up for my lacking detection.)

(And yet... Nothing?)

"..."

(That means one thing.)

(Some kind of fucking top ranker is tracking me.)

(Ah... This is annoying.)

(...But then again, I cannot allow them to roam this place.) – thought Phantasia as he entered the cave and began digging in it while also ordering his monsters to guard the exit.

"..."

(Did he found it?) – thought S.M as he watched from afar, noticing as the large number of monsters suddenly was placed outside of the cave that Phantasia went inside of.

(I think we already inspected that cave... But why is he in there then?)

"..."

(Is he digging it out?)

(Last time he did that too, he dug.)

(But why there?)

(Did we missed anything in there?)

[You have received the message from player Apple]

"!"

["Teleport me."]

"..."

(Welp... Shit.) – thought S.M as he moved away from his hiding spot and started making noticeable amount of distance away from Phantasia’s current location.

After making sure he was in the safe location, S.M used a skill to create something.

A pencil.

He then began writing on the ground with the pencil for a prolonged amount of time while Phantasia was still digging inside of the cave.

"..."

(Weird.) – thought Phantasia.

(They are not falling for the bait?)

(Are they wary since this place has only one entrance?)

(Or are they aware that this is a trap?)

"..."

(No.)

(They will fall for this.)

Phantasia trap was already set and now it was just matter of time before the enemy falls for it.

However, unbeknown to Phantasia, the S.M who was watching him had made a different preparations.

"..."

"Done." – sad S.M as he stood right next to the magic circle which he had drawn.

[S.M]

[Divinity in possession.]

[Goodness Of Passage And Message: Opiria]

[Class: The One Who Knows Shows The Path] – [Rarity: Legendry]

"[Passage Of Many: Gate Calling]."

S.M was in possession of the divinity.

This was something that Phantasia could not expect, that the person who was stalking him was in possession of the divinity.

And maybe one of the best possible divinities for the stealth specialist like him.

But what does it do?

And what was the skill he just used and needed a noticeable amount of time to spend before he could even use it?

Simple explanation.

It was a long-range teleportation skill, which allows the user to call forth a being they had made agreement with.

The magic circle erupted with magic, creating a teleportation gate.

And from that gate walked a single player, which ended up causing the teleportation gate to instantly close afterwords.

That player was none other than Apple.

"...Thanks." – said Apple.

(Honestly, even though this divinity of his is freaking brand new and everything, the first freaking skill he had gotten was the worldwide teleportation range skill?) – thought Apple.

(It sucks it can be only used on a single person and it has beyond freaking long cooldown... But still, it is freaking broken like hell.)

"How is the situation?" – asked Apple.

"We still didn’t found anybody else besides Phantasia, but I think he may had found something."

"He suddenly went into the cave we once checked and placed a heavy fortifications outside." – said S.M.

"Honestly, I don’t know if he is baiting us or not... But it is clear he is acting different."

"There is a high chance that he may had found something and wasn’t wondering randomly around."

"..."

*Inhale*

"Okay... This won’t be easy." – said Apple as he was visible nervous about the whole situation.

(Even with protective equipment I’m still losing my HP over time and from what I’ve was told, the {poison}, {burn} and {melting} status will appear to matter what with our equipment.) – thought Apple.

"Where is Modur?" – asked Apple.

"Not here. Should I call him?" – asked S.M.

"Yeah. Do that." – said Apple.

"If the temple is really there, I will drag Phantasia out of there and force him to fight him."

"The moment I do that, help Modur to get inside."

"Got it boss." – said S.M.

"..."

(Oh boy... We are really doing this.) – thought nervous Apple.

(I really wanted to avoid that possibility as much as possible, but we really have no choice, do we?)

[Meanwhile: Maparapra]

[You have slain: The Destruction By Impalement]

*Gasp*

"Is this all you got?" – asked Maparapara as she passed the third round, standing on top of the corpse of the monster which had its body filled with countless number of spears.

"Most impressive." – said warrior as he clapped his hands.

"You beat the three champions without suffering any mortal wounds."

"Yeah... No big deal." – said Maparapara.

(MY FUCKING ASS!) – screamed the slime girl in her head.

(That fucking spear guy had defense ignoring attacks.)

(He was just like the previous guy with him unleashing countless blows nonstop... But his were far more annoying to say the least.)

(Honestly, the real problem why I struggled with him was because that monster was designed to freaking slay tanks. Which means that guy was my freaking counter.)

(...Still, the difficulty spike was just now the same.)

(And that means one thing.)

(I will have real problem with boss four and five, won’t I?)

"You ready?" – asked the warrior.

"...Yeah... Do it." – said Maparapara.

"Well then... Begin." – said warrior as the fourth gate opened up.

(Well then, first was massive wolf, then big knight and another big knight.) – thought Maparapara.

(So, what will be-)

"?"

To slime girl’s surprise, the monster that walked out of the gate wasn’t massive.

No.

It was standing around 2.5 meters tall, which was noticeable smaller compare to the 3.5-meter knight bosses.

But it wasn’t a beast type monster with long body either.

It was a humanoid type monster who wore a black armor which covered their body, while wielding a long pitch black jagged sword in their hand.

Compare to the other bosses that Maparapara fought, this was one was noticeable smaller.

But the slime girl knew that letting her guard down could cause her defeat.

And so, she raised her shields once again in order to confront the foe in front of her.
