Yuki's pupils contracted, and she drew her sword and flipped over.

The dagger grazed her hair, while simultaneously blocking her next attack with a sword strike.

"Tsk." The man clicked his tongue, sheathed his dagger, and rushed off in the other direction.

"Come here!"

As he passed the back row, he pushed the people behind him, scattering them. Black Cat was even pushed sideways and fell to the side.

Seeing this, Kong pulled out his magic gun and pointed it at the man.

Although the rules state that neutral NPCs cannot be harmed, the other party is now actively causing trouble!

Bai tugged at his brother's sleeve, biting his nails as he reminded him, "Hey, the monsters are a gift. The target quantity is 60, including some severely wounded killer ants. The number may increase to 300 later."

Unarmed, Tokishi cowered in the back, clutching Yui's slender waist as he shouted, "You despicable death! Second Battalion Commander, bring me my big thing!"

The black cat got up and shouted, "Who has time to lift that hammer of yours?"

The passageway was narrow, and the group was overwhelmed by the monster tide as soon as they set up their defensive positions.

These killer ants move regardless of the terrain; they can be found not only on the ground, but also on the ceiling and the rock walls on both sides.

The rustling sound of carapaces scraping against each other exploded in the young player's ears. All they could see were these red carapaces.

"Ew—that's disgusting."

Before we could even process what was happening, the killer ants had already swarmed in from all directions.

With a sharp bite to his lip, Kong began clearing out the surrounding monsters with his magic gun: "This is troublesome. Our formation has been disrupted, and we can't organize a defense immediately."

"Black Cat! Slowing Curse!"

Blank pulled the trigger, using precise skills to slay the surging monsters.

The black cat understood, and a black wind swept out, but there were simply too many monsters, and continuous damage was unlikely to kill them immediately.

Just then, a crack appeared in the wall of the underground city, and giant frogs croaked as they fell to the ground from the rock.

"Well--"

A large frog pounced, its long tongue curling up and swallowing the black cat that had broken away from its position.

"Black Cat!"

The scene was chaotic, with monsters appearing and disappearing one after another, and the carapaces of killer ants everywhere, obscuring everyone's view.

Everyone was so focused on the monster in front of them that they couldn't pay attention to anything else.

"Guard skill!" Tachibana Kanade clasped his hands together, and a sonic boom spread out.

The grayish-white shockwave shattered the surrounding monster formation.

"Well done, Kanade!" Yuuki was overjoyed. She quickly passed through the monster horde, her longsword hitting the magic stone precisely and killing the monster completely.

She quickly rushed towards the giant frog.

"Woo woo woo." The voice of the 'black cat' came from the side.

Yuuki swiftly moved, her longsword slicing through flesh, freeing the black cat from the toad's mouth...

"Are you alright, Kuroko-san?"

"Huff, huff, huff. No, it's nothing."

The 'black cat' appeared on the ground covered in slime, standing frozen in place as if terrified, its eyes vacant, its tone laced with helplessness, guilt, and even gratitude.

Unbeknownst to anyone, in the distance, a thief, carrying a cloth bag filled with black smoke, was stealthily making his escape.

……

Before the intersection on the 7th floor.

The cloth bag on the thief's back was torn open by the beast's claws. With a tearing sound, Mame-no-suke burst out of the bag's belly, and the black cat rolled to the ground through the ripped opening.

She quickly stood up, picked up Mame-no-Suke, stared at the newcomer, and asked coldly:

"Who are you, and what is your purpose in kidnapping me?"

Such a commotion was bound to be noticed. The thief slowly turned around; his face was covered, so no expression could be seen, but madness could be seen in his eyes.

"Purpose?"

"Of course, I'll wipe you all out."

The incredibly straightforward words made the black cat pause, and countless thoughts flashed through its mind:

Offline?

No, no, Mame-no-suke can't leave with me, and besides, it seems they've got their eyes on Astraea, or rather, on Shaka.

Her first thought was to log off and notify Xia Jia.

But that was quickly rejected.

Everyone's playing games, I can't get in touch with them.

The situation is urgent, I need to go back quickly and tell them!

The black cat assessed the fighting strength of both sides...

Mame-no-suke is a level 2 monster, so he shouldn't be weaker than my opponent. If we fight, I'll actually become his "weak point." But if we combine, even with Mame-no-suke's assistance, my own combat power is still not high, and I won't be able to escape unscathed.

The best way is for me to log off and let Mame no Suke escape on his own.

But before that, I need to extract more information from my opponent.

Think of this.

After the black cat merged with Mame-no-suke and transformed into a fallen angel, it smirked and asked in an extremely chuunibyou (delusional) tone:

"Kill us? You've said something quite remarkable..."

"Nani!"

"Well, it's really impressive that you guys made it this far. You deserve praise. But you're really unlucky; you picked the wrong person."

At this moment, the black cat looked down on the thief with an arrogant gaze. That gaze would make even a level 6 adventurer bow down in submission.

In the middle of the deserted corridor, the thief was startled by the sudden change in atmosphere. He gripped the dagger in his hand and shifted his feet slightly.

In his eyes, a terrifying, dark, viscous magic surrounded this ordinary woman.

The surrounding rock walls were eroded by magic, and began to rot and melt.

He recalled a certain woman from the Far East in the Astrea Familia, whose terrifying killing intent he still hadn't forgotten.

The thief shouted, "Who are you?!"

"That line should be mine." The black cat approached the thief with elegant steps.

He stood on one leg and introduced himself:

"I am the Fallen Saint Black Cat of Chiba, the ruler of hell who controls the night and the underworld."

"Since the day I received the protection of the darkness, no lie can deceive me."

"So, servants of the shadows, state your names! Then, in the abyss of darkness, behold my form!"

"What?! God!" The thief was startled at first, then gritted his teeth and said, "Don't play me for a fool, God will never appear in the dungeon!!"

Chapter 122 So that's where you were hiding!

The thief was utterly shocked: "You're a god? Impossible, you can't be a god!"

Gods can evoke different feelings, but the black cat's explanation is extremely misleading.

He couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Are you kidding me?!"

"Tch, have we been exposed?"

The moment the thief spoke, the black cat flicked its wrist, and the cursed venom ray grazed the thief's shoulder.

The thief stared wide-eyed, clutching his blackened shoulder, and asked incredulously:

"You, you actually dared to play me."

The Dark Faction consists of a bunch of muddle-headed fools; in short, they're idiots who are easily seduced by words like hell, abyss, and reincarnation.

"Playing with you? No, it's a reward for you! Accept the blessing from the abyss."

"asshole!"

The thief, dagger in hand, charged forward in two steps.

"Free yourself from the collar of your past life."

A black light flashed between the black cat's eyebrows, and Mame-no-suke broke free from the possessed state and pounced on it.

【Take my meow punch!】

"Netherworld Ghost Claw!"

Three streaks of purple light flashed out, leaving three wounds on the thief. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the black cat turned and ran away.

"Hey, where are you going!"
