Lilim Heritage Online 212 *Slick*

On social media, the rumor about the field bosses was being circulated. News of the invasion on sub server 10th, where Natalie was holding against the monster siege, was the main topic.

At a glance, the siege event was ordinary, which did not attract much attention from casual gamers. However, the condition that would happen after the fall of Sanctuary Island was the problem.

"If our Parthenon is destroyed, we can't resp.a.w.n?"

"When the town falls, can we still play the game?"

"I heard that we'll get summoned to the hardcore server."

"Hardcore server is suspicious, man. We haven't heard anything about players that entered that server."

"^Mining companies entered that game, and they've been quiet. I think they are busy mining diamonds."

"^^Diamond price increases lately. Do you think it relates?"

While the discussion centered on the hardcore server, another group was interested in the siege event.

"I have a clip of the new 1st ranker. Click here!"

Even the combat scene, where Natalie soloed a horde of 5,000-power green zombies, was uploaded. Some clips recorded the event when the first wall was breached.

"Terrible. How do we fight that? My power is only 1,300!"

"I think this event is meant for level 200+ players. Lowbies doesn't have a chance."

"^Not true if you're demi-humans. We're able to contribute to the fight somewhat."

"NPCs died during the siege. Even my mentor NPC is dead. T_T"

Among the players, Misha, Natalie, and Sasha were not the only ones who had killed field bosses. A captain of a professional-gaming team, Bajj, self-proclaimed the Smexy, led her party and defeated a blood tree on the server 15th.

She revealed a full log of event notification to all players.

"Killing a field boss will trigger invasion events. I heard that Natalie has killed many field bosses in succession, so it led to that predicament. We've killed the blood tree field boss in the dark forest, and we got a warning of an invasion."

Other pro-gamers also posted their experience on other servers.

"Server 6 also has an invasion, but it's not as bad as server 10. Sasha has been helpful leading us against the monster siege, but common players are struggling against monsters."

"We managed to form a task force of 1,000 elite players consisted of high-levelers to break the siege, but we can't defeat the new apostle with 10,000 power yet. I think we can lift the siege if we kill the new boss."

"Server 21 here. We killed the vulture boss, and scary-looking angry birds came to replace the vultures. We're fighting against monster's air-force now."

"A crazy battalion of felionian fishermen in server 999 has fished a f.u.c.king octopus with 15,000 power and killed it. A notification about a tsunami just came in, and we're building walls. FYI, we're not descendants of Donald Trump!"

While many gamers were interested in the siege events and field bosses, most players still paid attention to the relations.h.i.+p between the hardcore server and all the casual sub servers.

The fact that they would get summoned to the hardcore server even if they no longer played the game terrified the casual players. They did not want to live permanently in the game or transfer their souls into the game yet.

Restless players published articles or posted their opinion about the incident and the threat of the hardcore server. However, the majority of gamers still ignored it and treated it as a joke since everyone knew that they believed that it related to the transmigrating of people's souls into the game.

The ma.s.s still thought that it was not urgent as it was not their business.

Oblivious to the movement outside world, Misha relentlessly grinded her [Allure] skill level, hoping for a new stronger skill that she had predicted.

For 72 hours, Misha did not take a break or sleep. All she did was charming the boss, milking the roper acid, or taking a shower by the white bullets.

Although it was nasty and smelly, for some reason, Misha's skin became glossy and smooth. 

After her hard work, her inventory slots were filled with the monster's fluid.

*Mew Nya* (I feel dirty, Nya.)

"Can you not use Moo's accent? It sounds odd… Allure!"

This skill was different than other common skills as it came with a "Max" indicator, meaning that it could not be leveled up.

However, the effect of this skill was good enough, and it did not disappoint Misha.

'My guess is correct!'

It was a follow-up skill that could turn a monster into her permanent slave, which was what Misha was hoping for.

Without hesitation, she cast it on the field boss, who still had [Charm] abnormal status.

Bewitch!

At server 10, Natalie stood behind a destroyed city wall, which was the 3rd layer of Sanctuary Island City.

Behind Natalie, exhausted players and guard NPCs stood in formation, preparing to fight to the death. After all, behind them, there was no other defensive wall anymore.

This was their last line of defense!

Out of 20,000 players of the 10th server, only 5,000 remained to defend the town. As for the rest, they did not believe that the game could transfer their real body into the game. Also, they thought that they could simply logout from the hardcore server and quit the game should the transfer happened.

Without the majority of players' support, the believers fought together as one, going through thick and thin for days. Natalie, as the top ranker, stood as their commander. She donated her potions and consumable items to other players. In turn, everyone who had changed cla.s.ses contributed by using their skills, such as healing, crafting, or gathering materials for others.

Still, the monster army pushed them so hard that they despaired.

Gathering before the wall, a battalion of 30,000 monsters with the strength of 10,000 at the lowest roared, glaring at the defenders behind the ruined city wall.

Natalie was helpless in this situation. She had killed another field boss with 10,000-power, but it only made things worse.

A named monster arrived to replace the dead boss! Moreover, all monsters' strength had doubled, and the players could not handle it anymore.

Natalie looked at her status menu, rechecking her skills and her strength.

At level 290 and 9,500 overall power, all mobs were not a problem for her. Still, she could not cover for everyone when the named monster's aggro was always on her.

She looked at the shadow silhouette of a woman, who stood on top of the Apostle Captain, Amro.

Katia, Attendant of the Supreme Hydra.

50,000-power boss!

Natalie grimaced. Unlike regular field bosses, this person had a humanoid figure, and she fought like players with intelligence.

Katia's attack patterns were never the same, and she could act according to Natalie's movements. Yesterday, she fought Katia for the first time, but she could not even touch this boss.

Natalie opened her friend list, sending SOS messages to Misha, Sasha, Shurka, and other sisters.

"I might not last today. I'm sorry."

She had been preserving, waiting for Misha for 3 days as promised, but Misha never told her about the progression on server 1.

Still, Natalie did not blame Misha. It was her fault in the first place.

"I shouldn't have killed the bosses," she lamented.

 >

A message came from Sasha.

[Don't lose hope yet. I've been talking to Misha over the days. It seems she's grinding a taming skill or some sort, so she should be able to complete the guild construction on time.]

Natalie stopped crying. Her heart swelled in anger.

'I've been fighting my a.s.s off, but she's grinding a f.u.c.king skill instead of trying to build a f.u.c.king guild!?'

Others also messaged Natalie, encouraging her.

Unfortunately, she was so mad that she did not care about encouragement. In a fury, Natalie sent a ranting message to Misha.

"I'm about to die, and you're f.u.c.king grinding a skill!? I shouldn't have trusted a CONVERTED b.i.t.c.h like you! We should have killed you that day along with all YOUR CONSCIENCE!! ONCE I DIE, I'LL BE SURE TO TRANSFORM INTO A BLACK SLIME AND COME AFTER YOU b.i.t.c.h!!"

Vented her anger, Natalie panted. She glared at the army of monsters and strode forward.

"Natty, be cool. It's not over yet."

Behind Natalie, a female player pulled her back.

Her name was Des Aitsuji, a professional gamer from the Milky Way Galaxy. She had the appearance of a leporian as she had changed her race into a rabbit girl.

Des was a level 255 player, which was second after Natalie in the server 10. Her primary cla.s.s was an apprentice marauder, which specialized in sneak attacks and close combats. Like other rankers, she had 4 subcla.s.ses. As for her power, she was in the mid-6000s.

After fighting alongside each other for days, the two became best friends and had been covering the other's back in this hopeless situation.

"I don't know what you have been through, but you shouldn't get mad at someone who is trying to help you."

"HOW CAN I NOT GET MAD!? WE'RE FIGHTING FOR OUR LIFE, BUT OUR f.u.c.kING HELPER IS NONCHALENTLY PLAYING THE GAME! h.e.l.l, I WANT TO LOG OUT AND BEAT HER a.s.s IN REAL LIFE, RIGHT NOW!"

"Hold it, Natty. Chill!"

Des hugged Natalie, soothing her.

Natalie cried as she buried her face in her friend's round bosoms.

.

*RUMBLE!*

The monster horde roared as the shadow silhouette, Katia, signaled another charge.

Natalie and Des turned toward the monsters, gritting their teeth.

"We can survive another day, Natty."

"… Ah. I have someone to punch in the face. I can't die here!"

The first wave arrived. It was the usual zombie horde of 2,000 corroding zombies with 10,000 power instead of 2,500 at the beginning of the game.

All players with long-ranged weapons and skills unleashed their attacks.

Gunshots, colorful skills, fireb.a.l.l.s, earth bullets, energy b.a.l.l.s, and ice needles hailed at the zombies.

The first wave was not a problem. Many players who had yet to reach level 200 welcomed them as they were the most excellent source of EXP. Although they could not solo it like Misha, they formed parties and shared the EXP with their teammates.

The elites who had changed cla.s.ses also joined the parties of low-level players, acting as their captains. When they faced strong monsters that the team could not handle, the captains would always come and kill the monsters in their stead, carrying the parties.

As for the level 200er, who could not change cla.s.s, they grouped together as a special force. Their job was to support the others when grinding parties were about to get overrun.

Currently, 3,000 players had gotten stuck at level 200. Only a hundred players managed to change their cla.s.s before their mentors were killed by randomly appeared black slimes.

Still, a hundred players with 5000+ overall strength were enough to destroy these zombies with ease.

But the real problem was Katia.

Natalie rushed forward. Katia also charged, beelining at Natalie.

The pet.i.te girl, Natalie, swung her thunder halberd at Katia.

*FSKSSSSSS*

Katia also used a lightning sword, which parried Natalie's halberd.

Natalie activated her force field, which had a similar effect as Misha's flame field.

The shockwave hit Katia.

However…

Immune! 0!

Katia was immune to thunder attacks.

The attendant shadow also pointed her finger at Natalie and used chain lightning.

*BZZZ*

Immune! 0!

Likewise, one of Natalie's skills, Lightning Resistance, had reached level 100 and evolved into Lighting Immunity.

Furthermore…

>

+2,318!

A green number with a [+] appeared above Natalie's head as her HP increased.

But there was a difference.

>

>

>

Natalie was relieved that she managed to resist the attack.

Although both fighters' thunder attacks could not harm each other, they kept tangling on the one-on-one fight as there were other means to harm the opponent.

Katia's eyes changed from blue to red, and her element turned to fire.

The shadow with flaming eyes stomped her right foot, and a firewall appeared before Natalie.

It was a form of a higher tier flame field skill, which Misha had not learned yet.

Inferno Entrapment!

Instead of creating a shockwave around the caster, Katia summoned a dome of fire to surround Natalie.

The latter clicked her tongue as she used a racial skill that only demi-fairy had.

Blink!

It was a teleportation skill, which had 30 seconds cooldown. Natalie could teleport to any place within the range of 10 meters.

She appeared behind Katia as she extended her hand to touch the back of Katia's head.

*WHOOSH*

Katia also blinked and reappeared 100 meters away, retreated, and prepared for the next attack.

Natalie groaned.

'I can't just touch this b.i.t.c.h. As long as I can use Psionic Possession on you, you're done!'

She was confident in her racial skills since it was her secret of defeating many strong bosses.

As she was preparing for the round 2, a server announcement appeared.

However, it was not an event announcement, it was a player's voice.

[Er… Testing, 1, 2, 3. h.e.l.lo, this is banana… I meant I'm Misha. Can you hear me, server 10?]

[There's a hiccup on my part. For some reason, I can't summon anyone here even after I had finished building the headquarters of my guild, and I can't invite any player from this server.]

[So, instead of getting you to my server, I decided to temporarily send my servant to that server, in case you're in the middle of combat.]

[All female personal, please stay clear from my servant. He's a bit thirsty since I haven't satisfied him enough.]

Katia, Natalie, and all players froze, confused by the sudden announcement.

Before they could voice their complaints about the interruption, a pink world tree suddenly appeared in the middle of the town.

Coincidentally, it landed in the middle of Katia's army formation.

A majestic name of the servant revealed to all the players and the invading forces.

Slave of Misha, the Roper Emperor

Power: 15,000!

*SLICK* (It's raping time <>
