Chapter 1224 - Dark Region (8) (2/2)
“They’re here.”
Before the old man finished his sentence, Mini Bubble Gum interrupted, tossing the handheld gaming device aside, and lifted her head to look outside. She squinted and mumbled under her breath.
“Hmm… They split into three groups—trying to surround us, huh… Interesting. These dark elves are asking for death. If it weren’t for the time constraint, Leader would have already crushed these shameless bugs over 180 times in the game… Ah, this reminds me! One of the NPCs here scammed my equipment. That damn dark-skinned wh*re, I still remember her name… Yes, this time I will find and clobber that bast*rd!”
Confusing virtual-reality and the real world unreasonably, Mini Bubble Gum didn’t feel like she did anything wrong. She waved her fists around, gnashed her teeth, and cursed ferociously. Upon witnessing her reaction, the inn boss couldn’t help but take a few steps back in terror. Meanwhile, Angelina and Anne didn’t have any reactions. As long as one got to know Mini Bubble Gum long enough, one would know that she had a habit of intermittently acting crazy. Not only that, but she would also speak using some unknown terms. At such moments, it was best to leave her alone, since she would return to her usual self after acting up.
“Alright!”
While the crowd had such ‘disrespectful’ thoughts, Mini Bubble Gum clapped her hands and returned to normal. Then, she revealed an unusual smile, turned around to size up the crowd, and made a hand gesture. Upon seeing that hand gesture, Anne wiped her hands clean and picked up the shield erected beside her. Angelina also stood up and flattened the creases on her clothes. Nell walked out of the shadows and bowed respectfully, unsheathing the thin sword from her waist. According to the original plan, everything should be in place. But…
“This won’t work. We’re still lacking one…”
Mini Bubble Gum frowned all of a sudden. She turned to Anne, Angelina, Nell, and nodded in displeasure. She closed her eyes and lifted her head to look at the ceiling.
“Leader, we have an emergency. We’re still lacking one.”
“Lacking one? What are you talking about? Are the enemies that powerful?”
Upon hearing Mini Bubble Gum’s spiritual communication, Rhode was taken aback. He couldn’t figure out what exactly she was up to. But Mini Bubble Gum also didn’t seem to want to explain her intentions.
“No-no-no, Leader. It isn’t about strength. It’s about math instead. The math must be right. How can we raid a dungeon without a five-man party? How about you wake Little Icy up? We’re lacking an ADC (Attack Damage Carry). Why is she sleeping when it’s time for a raid? She thinks she can receive part of the loot by doing nothing? When the time comes, I will not give her anything!”
“… Are you done with your nonsense…”
Upon hearing Mini Bubble Gum’s words, Rhode shook his head helplessly and extended his right arm. Shortly after, along with his action, a summoning ritual emanated above his right hand. He waved his fingers gently.
After a few seconds, an illusory card drifted across the floor. Shortly after, as the dark, gloomy aura dispersed, a young lady clad in a tattered princess dress and carrying a huge sword on her back appeared before everyone with an odd smile. She removed the sword from her back and struck the ground in a loud bang. Her eyes filled with insanity glinted in a chilly, murderous intent. The young lady opened her mouth and unveiled a peculiar smile.
“Heh, heh. Is it time to kill someone…?”
“That’s right!”
Mini Bubble Gum didn’t comment on the young lady’s weird outfit. On the contrary, she nodded in satisfaction, turned around, and strode out of the inn in large strides.
“Alright, gather up! Time to raid the dungeon! Anne—you and Angelina take the top lane. Nell—you and that girl take the bottom lane. I will take the mid lane!”
Mini Bubble Gum ordered, raised her hands, and revealed a joyous smile across her face. Then, she yelled.
“Thirty seconds to battle. Get ready to crush them!”
