Chapter 360: Taunt (2/2)

(Mufasa: Yeah, but this isn’t good…]

Even as Mufasa’s comment appeared on the Player forums, his figure appeared within everyone’s vision!

“You guys…”

Mufasa had barely breathed those two words when he promptly realized that he must not simply make a sound in the profound vastness of Dark Sky.

Hence, he promptly switched to commenting on the forums.

[Mufasa: Run!]

In fact, his comment came too late.

Edward and the others saw the illusory radiance behind Mufasa and immediately became wary.

But that wariness was single-sided and momentary.

After all, Edward was not wary in the next split second-though there was no telling how far the monster was, its bright body alone made it appear to be over two kilometers away.

It appeared to be a cross between a prawn and a dragon, with sharp spines growing over its body. Although it had no limbs or teeth, it had a horrific, gaping maw with innumerable tentacle-like things growing out of it.

Could the monster be the reason why things had been so silent around them?

[Muta the Black Dragon Python, LV30]

Edward had assumed that his eyes were playing tricks on him and rubbed his eyes to check. Even so, the monster’s level was still 30 and not 130.

(Edward: Mufasa, prepare to counter. We’ll support you.)

[Mufasa: Don’t be fooled by its level! It’s definitely not just level 30—I would believe it even if the System says it is level 60!]

[Edward: What?!]

Nonetheless, Edward did not have much time to prepare. The creature was moving along the trail where Mufasa fled, brushing past Edward’s party.

Not about to miss his chance, Edward immediately casted a Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon Blast, attacking the monster from beneath its belly!

At first, he thought that launching his ultimate skill at such close distance would blow the creature half to death even if he did not kill it, or at least stun it.

And yet, Edward did not expect that his attack did not cut down the monster’s HP by much!

Edward was immediately dumbstruck.

How could this be? A level 40 monster would have been maimed if it had a skill like that fired on its stomach, let alone a level 40 monster…

Meanwhile, Muta the Black Dragon Python appeared to notice the presence of Edward’s group just then, hence turning around to lunge towards them!

“We have no choice! This is going to be a direct fight! Joe, Doug Ag, use whatever skills you have!” Edward cried while waving Happy Flames—the passive barrier had been broken after he died last time, and the staff only buffs the damage of his fire spells now. “Princess Leah, please buff us. Jessica, we’re counting on you on heals and other buffs

too!”

“I’ve been waiting for this!”

After holding back for a long time, Princess Leah promptly unleashed her weapon, waving her flag in the gloom of Dark Sky, revealing the steel shaft beneath. “Warsong Chorus, Hero Creation, Unyielding Strength! Don’t worry and charge!”

“Edward…” Jessica seemed worried, but she did not stay idle—the hilt of her holy lance was shining with silver light.

Gou Dan’s AWM had turned into a large bow as well, and he handily got his arrow nocked.

At the same time, Joe had drawn out Giant’s Toe and smiled fearlessly at the behemoth, hooking his finger at it while using a Taunt.

“Come to papa!”
