Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 157 Cat Dad’s Scary Companions

Chapter 157 – Cat Dad’s Scary Companions

Xiaomao no longer cared about his relationship with the Pangu Church. He navigated the flying sword and hid behind Mimir.

The priests, paladins, and cultists were afraid of Mimir and Taotie. They fled the scene in panic.

As the local priests fled the scene, the back garden was cleared. Xiaomao was relieved.

However, Taotie hadn’t stopped growing. The four-legged fiend lifted his right hand and stepped on the church’s left building.

BOOM

The building crumbled down, and Taotie cackled.

Xiaomao looked up to see the Taotie’s appearance. The latter’s face and head resembled Godzilla while his scales and a dragon’s barbed tail were at least 100 meters long. The spikes of Taotie’s spine were so dark that they absorbed all lights. At the same time, the spikes leaked dark miasma into the air and formed a black fog around him.

Now, Taotie looked like a Kaiju-Dragon hybrid.

“GAHAHAHAHAHA! MY POWER IS BACK! NIAN, PANGU! I’LL COME FOR YOU SOON!”

Taotie got overexcited and kicked the front church. The entire building was crushed, and many pieces of debris were sent flying to the street and hit other buildings. Sharp and heavy objects militated the fleeing priests.

The commotion attracted players to the area. But when they noticed the four question marks of Taotie, they also turned around and ran away.

Because of the destruction and the presence of Taotie, more players fled the capital city. Some lucky ones managed to log out from the game before they got caught up in the mess.

Xiaomao watched how Taotie scared away NPCs and players. The sight was entertaining when he was on the same side as the monster.

Still, he hadn’t forgotten the other objectives here. He looked at Mimir, wondering if he would join his side.

As if Mimir could read Xiaomao’s mind, he petted the cat.

“I heard you. You need bodyguards, right?”

“Yes, munya.”

“I’m planning to switch sides and join the Chaos Demon God Faction. Which demon are you serving, Xiaomao?”

“Umm, for now, Chang’e, munya.”

“Not your father?”

“My father, munya?”

“Wasn’t your father the former right-hand man of the Chaos Seraphim? He is also a Chaos Demon God, right?”

Xiaomao tilted his head. He had no clue what background Mao Miaomiao had, but he was sure that his mysterious father was a Chaos Seraphim according to the clues from the item and quest descriptions.

Suddenly, Xiaomao recalled a water painting in Bit Tupeer’s mansion. It depicted a Cathulhu, two archangels, Pangu, and an Oni God.

Xiaomao didn’t know if his high INT affected his memory, but he could remember the painting vividly like a digital photo. He remembered the face of a certain male angel with a black and a white wing, who stood next to the Chaos Seraphim, aka the Cathulhu.

‘Was it him?’

Xiaomao shook his head. Even if the angel was really Mao Miaomiao, it didn’t change the fact that he and Mimir might have to join Chang’e Faction first.

“I can’t contact him at the moment, munya. I can only join the goddess’s faction first.”

Mimir chuckled, “It doesn’t make a difference, actually. Chang’e is one of Mao Miaomiao’s concubines. The library has a memory orb that keeps the record of the events when they were mortals.”

“D-Do you still have it, munya?!” Xiaomao was surprised.

“Unfortunately, it was a bunch of bestially porn clips. You sure you want to see the sex life of your father?”

“On a second thought, never mind, munya.”

Xiaomao facepalmed. He didn’t want to see something obscene in-game, and he didn’t want to know.

“Anyway,” the cat changed the topic. “Can you accompany me for the time being, munya?”

Mimir picked up Xiaomao and the latter’s flying sword. He carried the cat in his arm and used the flying sword as a weapon.

“Sure. Since I used your item, I owe you one. Where do you want to go?”

Without hesitation, Xiaomao revealed his next goal, “The cultist dungeon, munya!”

“Why there?”

Xiaomao widely grinned, “I have unfinished businesses in there, munya. Could you bring me there and keep an eye on potential threats for me? I think Zhao Fei might still be in the area.”

As soon as Xiaomao mentioned Zhao Fei’s name, Mimir’s expression turned solemn.

“So, he’s still around?”

“I saw him when I last visited the church, munya. He fought a guy, but we escaped. I’m afraid he might still be inside.”

“I see. Clearly, you’re not his match. Very well, I’ll escort you to that place. I also need some supplies from the storage.”

DING

<Archbishop Mimir wishes to join your party. Would you accept?>

Obviously, Xiaomao welcomed him with open arms. He added the NPC to his party, and his name appeared on his party list.

DING

<Due to the difference in level, you will not gain EXP if Mimir kills an enemy.>

Xiaomao shrugged as he didn’t mind that. Though, he was a bit sad that he couldn’t get any EXP if Mimir killed Zhao Fei.

“Say, Xiaomao.”

“Yes?”

“It’s about the scope of my help. I know that you need my protection, but I can’t babysit you all the time since Pangu and their apostles will soon come for me. I don’t want to implicate you when you’re not ready. Therefore, I’ll only stick around with you until sunrise, okay?”

Unlike Taotie, Mimir couldn’t join Xiaomao’s forces for the time being.

“That’s a pity, munya.”

There was no helping it. Xiaomao accepted the terms.

While Xiaomao and Mimir were talking, the Kaiju had fun destroying the church and the capital city’s buildings. He razed the Labor Guild’s skyscraper and the Adventurer Guild’s mansion. Then, he turned to the palace, where a large barrier array had been erected.

BOOM

Suddenly, a laser beam was fired from the rooftop of the palace, and it pierced Taotie’s chest.

Taotie roared in pain, and his body size shrunk! Within a blink of an eye, he shapeshifted into a lion cub.

Everything happened so fast. When Taotie transformed into a small lion, Xiaomao and Mimir already settled their deal.

The two stared at Taotie and looked up to see the streak of a massive laser beam.

Mimir narrowed his eyes, “That’s a constellation spell. Let’s go, Xiaomao. We don’t have time!”

“Constellation Spell, munya?” Xiaomao had never heard of this term before.

“It’s an upgraded grand spell. Only immortals can use it. That thing must have come from Yuan Hua or his two bodyguards. We need to move before they can see us.”

“…”

Mimir grabbed the lion cub, who was now as big as Xiaomao. Then, he sprinted toward the secret entrance to the library.

Unfortunately, Taotie’s rampage destroyed the library.

Mimir snorted, and his eyes pupils turned silver. He lifted the debris, broken planks, and furniture away from the passage with his mind. When everything floated in the air, he carried both Xiaomao and Taotie into the underground dungeon.

While Mimir rushed into the dungeon, Xiaomao glanced at Taotie’s name, and he was shocked.

Taotie’s HP had already dropped by 90%! Moreover, his level number turned red and decreased to 4,200.

“Senior, Taotie is in serious condition, munya!”

While running, Mimir was expressionless, “He will be fine. I fought him before, and this can’t kill him.”

“Really?”

“If he can die because of this simple wound, he couldn’t have earned the calamitous fiend title, would he?”

“…”

When Mimir finished speaking, he already brought both Taotie and Mimir to the B4 floor, bypassing all guards and NPCs in the dungeon with his skills and spells. Like a speedrunner, Mimir reached his destination in less than 10 seconds.

Mimir put Taotie and Xiaomao down. Then, he looked at the stairs toward the B5 floor.

TOK TOK

Someone was coming their way from the stairs, and Mimir stood between Xiaomao and the incoming person.

A silhouette of a middle-aged man in the red cultist robe came out from the dark corner of the room.

Xiaomao saw the person’s face, name, and level in the dark. He recognized the guy right away.

Black Mage Zhao Fei, the Brainwasher, Apostle of Pangu, Level 3,500

Zhao Fei stared at Mimir’s face for a moment and glanced at Xiaomao. The former still remembered the cat.

“You thief. Give me back my soul weapon!”

Zhao Fei created two black fireballs with his hands and sent to toward Xiaomao.

Mimir expressionlessly extended his hands and grabbed the two black balls. He clenched his hands and dispersed the spells.

“Mimir! Get out of the way or else!”

The archbishop snapped his fingers and seven white canes manifested. They hovered and orbited around him.

“Let’s have a date between you and me.”

Like a flashbang, the canes let out a blinding white light. Xiaomao covered his eyes and looked away by reflex.

When Xiaomao reopened his eyes to look at what had happened, Mimir and Zhao Fei were already gone.

“Eh?”

Xiaomao was stunned for a moment. He didn’t understand what spell or skill Mimir had just used, but he figured that they were no longer here, judging by Mimir’s name on his party list.

Whenever the party members were not in the same building or dungeon, their names were always grey. But when they were close by, their names were displayed in white. Only when they died, their names would be crossed out.

Currently, Mimir’s name was now grey, just like the other party members, such as Shepherd, Andrew, and others. It hinted that the archbishop was not in the dungeon anymore.

Since Mimir was no longer here, Xiaomao kept his guard up. He brought out his trusty staff and looked at Taotie.

The lion’s HP recovered by 30%. Although it was still less than half, it showed that the fiend’s regenerative ability was beyond the norm.

Taotie also stopped curling like a cat. He screamed, letting out his high-pitched noise.

“Accursed wench! Just wait! I’ll crush that palace! I’ll eat your heart and shit in your mouth!”

“…”
