Yunyu woke up much later when XuanLake had finished everything. ZeroCheat was sitting at the edge of the bed, waiting for Yunyu to wake up.
Once he opened his eyes, he saw Brother Zero held his hand and asked, "Yunyu, are you hurting somewhere?"
Yunyu shook his head. It seemed that he had a long dream of eating fried chickens that tasted like metal. Yunyu scratched his head and asked, "Brother Zero? Where are we right now?"
"We are in Kain Town, and we've successfully slain the Lost Android," ZeroCheat said. He smiled and kissed Yunyu's hand, "Thanks to you, of course."
"Brother Zero, I did nothing…" Yunyu tried to dodge the statement. But ZeroCheat smiled gently and replied;
"That XuanLake guy told me after I wake up that you used all your strength to defeat the lost android and then fell unconscious. I know that you have great potential, but you are truly amazing, Bai Yunyu."
[Eh, at least XuanLake didn't spoil about my real identity to ZeroCheat, that would not be fun, right, Pupa?]
Yunyu asked Pupa, but there was no answer. And that floating orange thing was not around him either.
[Pupa?]
Yunyu called again, but there was no answer. Thus, he concluded that Pupa must have gone to the headquarter for whatever he is doing for a moment and would return in approximately two hours or so.
[Oh well, I will just ask Pupa about what happened when I fell unconscious later.]
Yunyu smiled towards ZeroCheat. He propped his body up and sat on the bed, "Brother Zero, that lost android is really hard to defeat indeed. But it was thanks to our teamwork and… your sacrifice. Without you protecting me, I might've died there."
ZeroCheat hugged Yunyu and kissed his cheek again, "Of course, I will protect you. We are lovers and partners, remember?"
"Yes, indeed," Yunyu nodded assuringly.
It was the truth, though. He didn't intend to romance with XuanLake after that betrayal. Now, ZeroCheat's care and kindness made Yunyu realize that he made the right choice in this world.
[Too bad he is not the male lead of this world, right, Pupa?]
[…]
Still no answer. Yunyu sighed, not being able to bicker or argue with Pupa felt somewhat lonely even though Pupa would only leave him for two hours at most.
Yunyu checked his storage and saw that Advanced Chip. Since the Lost Android had been defeated, it was down to the last boss, a demon in the desecrated land, Black Cliff.
At night, Yunyu teleported to the location and saw the ultimate monster that he had fished out of the hiding previously. He was a red demon with a pair of big horns and a huge mace as his weapon. He was currently sleeping, waiting for an enemy to arrive.
Desecrated land was one of the most dangerous areas in the game. All the monsters were at least level 90, and the Red Demon King was the ultimate monster on par with the boss in the Tower of God. In fact, the Red Demon King was stronger than Legendary PoisonLily.
And this land was also dangerous because the Red Demon King had two passive since the beginning and one more passive when he hit 50% HP threshold. One of those passives was eternal death, meaning that anybody who died under his hand could not respawn or revived, aka actual death in real life.
Yunyu nodded as he assured himself that everything was according to his plan, except for one thing…
It had been almost seven hours, and Pupa hadn't returned back from the headquarter, and it starting to make him worry.
"Where is that spicy chicken system anyway?" Yunyu pondered. This was the first time for Pupa to disappear for a long time. But in the end, he just shrugged it off, thinking that Pupa might be doing tedious administration in the headquarter.
Yunyu went to the adventurer guild inside Kain Town to post the mission, just like he did with the previous two missions.
In the morning, ZeroCheat and Yunyu came to the adventurer guild to check the new mission. They saw that the new mission had been taken by no other than XuanLake. Yunyu strutted towards XuanLake and smiled cheerfully, "Brother Xuan, let's go!"
XuanLake smiled deep towards Yunyu and said, "Of course, let's team-up. But…"
XuanLake glanced at ZeroCheat, "This mission is very dangerous. I just want you to know that death is inevitable if you got killed by Red Demon King.
XuanLake showed the mission prompt in front of Yunyu and ZeroCheat.
|| Mission: Slay Red Demon King
Poster: ???
Monster Description: Level 120 Red Demon King, ultimate spawn in Desecrated land: Black Cliff. Guaranteed Loot: Demon King's Horn (All damage to Light attribute +100%. 50% attack boost to all dark attack. Gain passive: Grievous wound – All attack will inflict grievous debuff, reduce all healing by 50% to the inflicted.) ||
Everyone was awed by that loot. That was a fantastic loot that none of them could touch because Red Demon King was basically as strong as floor 80+ boss in Tower of God.
But that guaranteed loot was basically a death sentence towards any light monster, like the angels and such, one of the most challenging enemies to fight in the game. Because they had fantastic defence and heal.
ZeroCheat nodded without hesitation and walked towards Yunyu and rubbed Yunyu's head. He said, "I don't mind. Because I know we can do it together as three, especially with MY cutiepie Yunyu here."
Yunyu grinned stupidly, but XuanLake's smile only deepened in response, "Sure, I suppose you are ready for it."
They formed a team again and went to the desecrated land. When they teleported in front of the statue near the desecrated land, ZeroCheat was well prepared by changing his passive, so did XuanLake.
"Yunyu, this battle will be very tough. I want you to be careful and hide behind me if it's not favourable, okay?" ZeroCheat warned. It made Yunyu giggled with excitement because ZeroCheat was really a gentleman, unlike…
XuanLake said nothing. He was busy fiddling with his setting and be prepared.
Once they entered the desecrated land, all other smaller monsters were hiding when their boss was here. The Red Demon King was territorial, and once someone entered his territory, he would jump at them and attack immediately.
ZeroCheat was leading in front with XuanLake, and Yunyu was behind him due to his fragility. Once they entered the Red Demon King's territory, they heard a loud roar from afar, and the air suddenly stilled.
There was a shadow above them, and when they looked up, the Red Demon King already lunged at them with his mace.
"Scatter!" ZeroCheat commanded. All of them scattered to dodge the attack. The Red Demon King seemed to get angry because his attack only hit the ground. He roared even louder. His passive was activated.
'Red Demon King || Level 120 || HP 100% || Passive: Overwhelming Power || Passive 2: Demon Territory'
Red Demon King emanated an aura that made the air heavier and hotter. It was passive to boost his attack and slow down the enemies around. It would also weaken anyone inside the territory except himself.
ZeroCheat, XuanLake and Yunyu were breathing heavily, but this Demon Territory passive should disappear when Red Demon King hit 50% HP threshold. Thus, ZeroCheat commanded, "Prepare your weapon. We are going to slay this demon!"
