Chapter 12. Milolo Lux

Compared to Apple Pie, Air Conditioner was much more concerned.

When Char asked them to run, he turned around and happened to see the group of people being drowned by winged heads and headless bodies. The scene was horrible

He swore that he would never face that monster in his life. It was too hardcore!

“What are those?” He asked.

“Have you been to the small wooden hut that sells paper on the right side of the village hall?”

Air Conditioner nodded.

“Auntie Susan with bad eyesight would often talk about her son, Felix, who died young, and complain that Jim from the militia didn’t save him. Bring a bottle of blood grain malt wine to Jim and get him drunk, and he would tell you what happened back then. They explored the Rotten Forest and were almost wiped out in the forest, and only Uncle Jim survived. Those are level 7 Infected Monster.”

“Level 7? They’re so strong!”

“It looks strong and has high attributes, but it has a fatal weakness. As long as you bring the blood grain malt wine, they will be neutral creatures that will not attack you. Not only will they not form teams to attack you, but they may not even fight back even if you hit them.”

Air Conditioner was stunned. “I didn’t know the blood grain malt wine is so powerful..”

Char chuckled. “There’s no external application or penicillin in this primitive place. There’s no quick bleeding control other than the healing spells of the priests. Blood grain malt wine is a specialty of the Barbarians. It can quickly produce blood when taken orally, and it has disinfectant and sterilization. It’s like the militia’s golden sore medicine. The more experienced the militia is, the more drunkard they are. The smell has already dissolved into their blood..

“Then why didn’t they attack us just now?” Apple Pie asked.

“A scientist and a stray dog that was killed by a car. Can you guess the difference between the two?”

“Hey! I’ve heard of this joke! There are brake prints in front of the stray dog’s corpse!”

Char snapped his fingers.

“That’s it. Compared to you, the monsters hate fluorescent plants more. It was the most terrifying thing in the Rotten Forest, and they had died because of it..

“Although they’re dead, corrupted by the monsters, and turned into monsters, they still retain the love and hatred from when they were alive.”

Air Conditioner was mesmerized and could not help but mutter, “Brother, how do you know all this..”

“Ask Sonya. The Barbarian will tell you everything you need to know, as long as you can afford the price and know how to please her.” Char smiled and pushed all the blame to Sonya.

Anyway, no one could get anything from her.

..

Half an hour later, the four of them arrived at the open space where Milolo Lux had died.

The broken flesh of the witch was still scattered on the ground, and the bloodthirsty level 6 Ravens she raised was circling in the air.

If it were not for the fact that the witch’s soul had yet to completely dissipate, these beasts would have long come down to feast on it.

The Ravens were monsters that lived in groups and could fly. They would need a team of archers to deal with them.

However..

Char gave Ksenja a look, and the latter nodded.

She looked at the Raven in the air and picked up the broadsword. She fanned with both hands and instantly set off a gust of strong wind.

He activated all 25 points of strength, and a ripple visible to the naked eye appeared in the air.

The air wave hit the hovering Ravens. Black feathers mixed with the rain of blood fell.

At the same time, the number of monsters killed by Air Conditioner and Apple Pie increased.

“Alright, this mission is considered completed.”

Char calculated the rewards for the two of them, and the moment it ended, golden light gathered from all directions. The exclamation mark on the crushed Mission Order Assignment was regenerated, but this time, it changed from a yellow exclamation mark to a yellow question mark.

Char crushed the question mark, and the warm feeling of experience flowed through his body.

[You have completed the team mission ‘Demonic Extermination’.]

[You have gained 1200+810 experience points.]

[You have received 4 silver coins+2.7 silver coins.]

[The novice village’s reputation increased.]

[You have received the equipment ‘Proof of Unity’.]

[Proof of Unity (badge): All attributes +1.]

Money and quests were 10% of the other 9 players’ individual points, but the equipment surprised Char.

There was no such thing during the closed beta, and it seemed to be an extra compensation for the players.

Thinking about it, it was much harder to command a bunch of players who did not look like they fit in than to command obedient NPCs. It was hard work, and there was a chance that a top-tier player like Moonlight would appear.

“Is this the end?” Although Apple Pie had leveled up, she felt a little depressed.

This was different from what she had imagined. She had thought that there would be something more exciting.

Air Conditioner was also a little disappointing, too. After all, he did nothing. He had taken so many things for nothing.

His eyes were full, but his spirit was not satisfied.

“There’s some content at the back of this mission, but if you guys want to follow, you’ll really become cannon fodder.”

Char said seriously, “And the way you guys died will be even more scary.”

“I don’t care!” Applie Pie patted her chest. “I’ll go if there’s any fun! You’re going to carry me, aren’t you?”

“I can’t go back as well..” Air Conditioner smiled helplessly.

“Alright, follow me.”

Char went forward to pick up more than 20 black feathers and lit them up with a flint.

The feathers were burning, and it let out an unpleasant scream. Green smoke rose slowly, and it seemed to be mixed with the ferocious faces of people as if the souls of suffering were squeezed together.

The smoke gathered in the air to form a thin woman’s face. If they looked closely, they would find that it was similar to Milolo Lux’s face when she was young.

Strictly speaking, this was actually the second stage of Milolo Lux

As the ultimate boss before Char left the village, the normal way to start the battle would be like this.

First, they formed a group to exterminate the Enchanted Wild Boars controlled by the witch on the outskirts of the Rotten Forest. The witch controlled the bloodthirsty Ravens to snatch the corpse, which led to the intervention of Sonya.

The blood grain malt wine required a large amount of blood, and the blood of monsters was an excellent material. The Barbarians would use the blood grain malt wine as a reward. After the mission was successfully completed, a large amount of blood grain malt wine would be produced, and Jim would get drunk and cry in front of Auntie Susan’s door, triggering a new mission, [Death of the Veterans]. After understanding the whole story, he would then bring reinforcements to the boss.

Having made sufficient preparations, Milolo Lux naturally would not die as miserably as this time. She would release poisonous gas from the glowing fern to mock the militia from several years ago for almost being wiped out like this.

At that moment, Jim would appear and say that he had found a way to deal with the gas. Then, he would rush into the forest alone.

He would light himself up, using his flesh and blood to maintain the flame so that it would not be extinguished by the poisonous gas. He would rush into the arms of his former comrades and burn them all with the fragrance of blood grain malt wine.

The battle with Milolo Lux would only begin after the forest almost burned down. This was because the witch’s soul had long been integrated with the forest. The real boss battle would only start after the forest was burned down.

A witch in the form of a spirit was immune to physical attacks. Only the divine spell of Enke Wester could take effect on her. However, the witch would control Marden to hold this scumbag, Enke, hostage and use him to threaten Ksenja, forcing her to fight with Sonya. At this point, the strongest combat force of the novice village was in a tussle, while the others were pecked blind in the eyes by the Ravens and burned to death in the fire.

A series of melodramatic events would follow. The exposure of Enke Wester’s secret affair, Ksenja was heartbroken as she beat up Sonya in anger, Marden pushing both of them into the fire pit, and so on..

This was a bad ending without the players’ intervention. Apart from the village chief, every NPC’s life was a tragedy. Their fates were entangled with each other, like a tangled thread.

Char also had to go through a few times before he found a way to untie the cursed thread.

He had completely messed up the order. He had already brought Sonya to beat up the witch. Thus, the veteran Jim did not have to die, the scumbag was taken away by the Barbarian, Ksenja was free from her inner demons, Marden was purified, and Sonya was still running the tavern. Everything was going well.

Moreover, Milolo Lux’s death was too sudden, and she did not have time to spread her soul to the various parts of the Rotten Forest. Only a part of her soul was left hidden on the Ravens.

Since the Ravens had been burned to death, the witch’s soul, which had nowhere to hide, dissipated..

Milolo Lux had broken free..

The younger version of the witch had a pair of long, sharp ears.

“Thank you, Char,” said Milolo Lux

The moment the soul spirit spoke, everyone’s jaws dropped.
