366 Cat Dad’s Retainer has a Big Secret



Chapter 366 – Cat Dad’s Retainer has a Big Secret

Patiently and stubbornly, Hiiro maintained his composure and remained silent. Although the loud songs rapidly decreased his sanity level, he endured and constantly drank the sanity soda. While he was at it, his shadow extended a thread-like tentacle, slipping out of the party girls’ encirclement.

An hour later, the tentacle traveled 100 meters and reached a hallway intersection. It moved left, breaking the sight of the party girls.

At that moment, Hiiro transferred his real body to the tip of the tentacle. Then, a new shadow patch appeared at the tip while the previous black area faded.

Just like that, Hiiro escaped their encirclement. But by doing so, he wasted 20 cans of his precious sanity soda.

Hiiro looked back and deeply exhaled. He was relieved, but he didn’t let his guard down. As this entire floor had nothing but classrooms and endless hallways, it was impossible to travel on the ground. Therefore, Hiiro manipulated his shadow to crawl on the ceiling.

While Hiiro rushed his shadow to move up, the group of adult party girls from before ran toward the intersection and looked around as if they were searching for him. As for the children, they joined the party rooms and stopped playing outside.

Hiiro noticed their arrival. He quickened his shadow and reached the ceiling.

The party girls split up and continued the search. However, they didn’t move far from Hiiro’s location as if they knew he was there somewhere.

Their actions were suspicious. Hiiro observed them for a minute, but it was his mistake.

Suddenly, all the party girls looked up and fixated on his location!

‘How do they know?!’

Surprised, Hiiro grumbled and dashed along the hallway.

“KIKIKIKI! (Over there!)”

The party girls pursued and activated their domains.

DING

<Veteran Party Girl has activated the constellation domain – Share Consciousness!>

<All monsters with the “Party Girl” name can see what Veteran Party Girl sees and can instantly teleport to her location.>

That was not the end of the party girls’ abilities. As soon as the veteran started using her power, another scary being responded to her subordinates right away.

DING

<Party Queen has activated the stellar constellation domain – Party Host V.2!>

<Match the level of all party girls with the strongest intruder’s level as long as the party girls are within Slave Dungeon’s B3 perimeter. If any party girl manages to kill all intruders, their level gain will be permanent.>

<As long as Party Queen exists, all party girls in the dungeon can infinitely and instantly self-resurrect in the boss room. However, if any party girl self-resurrects without a balloon, they will revert to their child form, and their level will be temporarily half of the original.>

<Nursery Rhyme Songs in Slave Dungeon fully heals all monsters with “Party” in its name every minute.>

<All monsters with “Party Girl” in their name can use Party Queen’s skills and spells if they have enough Qi or Mana.>

The game notification messages warned Hiiro of the local monsters’ powers and confirmed that the local monsters had spotted him!

Although the abilities sounded intimidating, Hiiro laughed at them. He had fought many immortals with the so-called “Invincible” or “Cannot be killed” abilities before. But in the end, all constellation domains came with fatal weaknesses, such as the Party Queen’s domain power.

Hiiro knew a few tricks on how he could override or change the properties of these domains. Whenever he abused his skills, all his arrogant opponents fell apart as they never trained or prepared for such situations.

Since his location was exposed, Hiiro stopped hiding. He came out from his shadow and unsheathed his two broadswords.

SHING

SHING

His swords cut through the void. The air in front of him split apart, and the air shattered like a broken glass window.

DING

<Veteran Party Girl’s domain has been destroyed.>

<Veteran Party Girl has suffered backlash damage from her power.>

<Party Queen’s domain has been damaged.>

<Party Queen has suffered backlash damage from her power.>

That was not the end of Hiiro’s power. He kicked the ground and charged at the pursuers. Then, he started using his special power as well.

DING

<You have activated the stellar constellation domain – Mazinger Hero!>

<Increase all your stats by the difference between your attributes and the strongest opponent’s attributes in your domain. If you manage to kill the opponent, permanently gain the difference in attributes and elemental roots. Acquire all skills, ultimate skills, spells, grand spells, and domain abilities of your opponent.>

<As long as your HP is over 50%, your swords negate all your opponent’s abilities. Your perception and reaction speed are 150% faster.>

It was a buff ability, but this simplicity made this domain deadly. As if he had the power of Taotie, he could gain stats and skills by killing strong opponents.

With the strength of level 3,700, the level-999 party girls and a few veterans weren’t his opponents. His swords sliced through the yellow monsters like tofu.

“KIKIKIKI!”

A hundred party girls started using tricks. They merged with the ground, walls, and ceiling. Then, they teleported directly into his body, trying to eat him from the inside.

Hiiro sensed their presence in his body. He snorted and dissipated his entire body, clothes, armor, and swords into black dust.

The teleported party girls appeared inside the black dust. They looked around in confusion why they weren’t inside Hiiro.

The black dust merged and condensed into a new body of Hiiro. The two broadswords formed in his hands as he beheaded five party girls in one swing.

CRACK

DING

<Party Queen’s domain has been destroyed.>

<Party Queen has suffered backlash damage from her power.>

This time, the boss of the B3 floor received heavy damage. All pursuers also flinched as their leader was severely injured even though Hiiro hadn’t even reached the boss room.

Hiiro pointed his swords and the monsters.

“Come. It doesn’t matter what kind of cheat skills you’re using, I can destroy them all!”

.

.

= B3 Boss Room =

*COUGH*

The large hall was similar to the B7’s boss room. Because of its wide space with nothing but roman pillars, Party Queen used this place as the emergency resurrection point for her subordinates.

The fight went on for five minutes, but Hiiro singlehandedly killed over 500 of her soldiers. Many party girls were respawned as plushy dolls while some lucky ones with their balloons managed to come back in their adult forms.

Party Queen miscalculated. She thought that she could easily overpower Hiiro with teamwork and tactics. However, Hiiro’s strength suddenly surged and disabled her domain abilities, hitting her with the backlash damage from her domain power.

The red bar of Party Queen blinked as she was left with 20% HP.

Meanwhile, Shepherd hadn’t left the boss room yet due to the warning from Party Queen earlier. When she coughed and collapsed on the ground, he rushed to help her.

Shepherd didn’t have medicine with him other than Joshua’s blessings. He took a deep breath and used one of his grand spells on her.

Noble Sacrifice!

It was a healing and buff spell that instantly recovered someone’s strength and HP to the max at the cost of the caster’s lifespan. Mimir and Joshua taught this to him, and Shepherd used it without hesitation.

DING

<Because of your selfless sacrifice, your positive karma has increased by 1,031,272!>

<Your positive karma is over 10 million. You can ascend and become an immortal.>

Shepherd glanced at the system messages and bit his lower lips. Then, he looked at Yuan Hua and Magdalene.

He hesitated. If he chose to become an immortal now, he might be assigned to the immortal team with the inferior immortal group and he would be in the same team as Yuan Hua, Magdalene, and others.

However, by doing so, Shepherd would abandon other teammates, such as Wei Zhi. She might be in danger if she was sent to a new land alone.

“Hubby…” Magdalene was worried.

“Shepherd,” Yuan Hua gazed into his eyes as she sensed his pain. She knew that he was in a dilemma.

The retainer helped Party Queen up, “What happened to you?”

Party Queen stared into Shepherd’s eyes. She sent him a voice transmission.

‘We got a super strong intruder. He crushed my domains. My power is useless against him.’

“Just one intruder?”

‘Yes. A level-3700 player, but his strength is superior to mine.’

Hearing that the level-9999 guardian was helpless against an immortal foe, Shepherd’s expression turned dark. He glanced at the notification windows again as he decided to take an extreme measure.

Shepherd had been working hard to catch up with Xiaomao’s strength. Although he was lacking in many ways, he picked up a few domain abilities that could counter against an opponent that could destroy domains.

Taking the matter into his hands, Shepherd looked at his wives.

“Inform the seniors about the intruder. Escort the party girls and Party Queen to a safe place!”

“What about you?” Asked Yuan Hua.

“I know that it might sound cliché, but leave this place to me. I’ll handle this somehow.”

“J-Just you?! Are you crazy?!”

Shepherd slowly nodded, “It’s time for me to show my worth. Believe in me.”

“…”

Yuan Hua, Magdalene, and Party Queen still doubted Shepherd. They refused to leave.

Seeing that the women didn’t believe in him, Shepherd decided to reveal the secret abilities that he got from Joshua. But first, he had to ascend.

Shepherd’s eyes were firm. He knew that ascending now might be a mistake, but his instinct told him to confront the intruder before it would be too late.

He chose to ascend right away!

In the dark boss room, a beacon of light shone upon Shepherd. Two bright silver feather wings grew from his back, and a halo hovered over his head.

“!!!”

“!!!”

On the B10 floor, Mao Miaomiao and Meowmeow flinched and looked up. They sensed a domineering aura of someone they knew.

“Joshua, munya?!”

Mao Miaomiao narrowed his eyes. The corner of his mouth curved up.

“That bastard has a clone too, I see. I knew something was odd about him. So that’s why he’s a protagonist.”

“You know something, Miaomiao?”

“Yeah, a lot. Actually, aren’t you curious why Devil was so close to Joshua that she entrusted the Trumpet Alliance to him? Don’t you wonder why Uriel, Metatron, and other war marionettes were so loyal to him instead of Devil even though they were her clones?”

“???”

Mao Miaomiao snickered and leaned closer. He whispered a few words to Meowmeow’s ears.

Then, the cat’s eyes were so wide that they were bigger than his head.

“THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE, MUNYA!!”
