Cathulhu Online, MUNYA! - Chapter 240: Cat Dad’s Supporter is a Harem Protagonist

Chapter 240: Cat Dad’s Supporter is a Harem Protagonist

Ifrit, Taotie, Mimir, Undine, and Nymph grew restless after the live-stream broadcast stopped. They had a feeling that Pangu and Pan Mei might have done something behind the scene again.

Meowmeow closed his eyes. He lightly snorted as he spied on Xiaomao through the latter’s five senses.

It didn’t take long for Meowmeow to find out what had happened to Xiaomao and what MUNYA Guild was facing. The heinous appearance of Joan and the chaotic battle were enough to give Meowmeow clues.

“They’re facing Asgard’s minions, munya.”

“Already?!” Nymph broke a sweat, “But isn’t that too early? I thought the Guild War Tournament lasts a week or so.”

“Pangu might have rushed the schedule and paired Xiaomao with the Valkyrie Guild. They probably noticed that our boy can grow stronger during matches, and they wanted to nip the bud.”

Mimir stroked his beard and pinched his fingers, calculating the future and karma. However, he couldn’t foresee the future of Xiaomao.

Meowmeow opened his eyes and looked at Mimir, “It’s useless, munya. His karma is invisible. Even gods won’t be able to track him or predict his future. Unless you’re Mao Miaomiao or Mu-Nyang, nobody can figure out his fate.”

“Ah, I forgot about his karma. Silly me and my old habit.”

“Everybody does that, munya. Anyway, Ifrit. What’s the sword and the bracers that you gave Xiaomao, munya?”

Everybody turned to Ifrit. The fire spirit king proudly grinned and jiggled his chest muscles.

“Well, if you ask… AHEM!”

Enchanted Domain Destroyer (Blacksmith Flame)

Domain abilities are common powers of nascent-soul-stage cultivators and immortals. It amplifies the power of the cultivators’ Daos or beliefs, turning it into a pseudo-law that enforces rules upon the area in the domain.

God of Blacksmith, Hephaestus created this sword to negate the power of Mortal Dao Domains, Pseudo-Immortal Soul Domains, and Constellation Domain of immortals. It can also be enchanted with the owner’s Dao and elemental Qi to amplify its damage output.

This sword is a defective product that Hephaestus made before the Great War between Mao Miaomiao and Olympus. After Gaea, Uranus, Poseidon, and Zeus were dead, Hephaestus fled from Olympus along with his creations. He discarded all his failed creations along the way, and one of them fell into the hands of Ifrit.

Xiaomao glanced at the flame sword under him while he was free-falling. He deeply inhaled and grabbed the handle. Then, he prayed to Ifrit.

‘A little help, please. I know that you’re not supposed to be here since it’s risky, but I don’t think Shepherd and I can take on that stupid woman by ourselves, munya!’

It didn’t take long before Xiaomao heard the voice of Ifrit in his mind.

‘Don’t summon me yet. I don’t know what’s going on over there, so I can’t assess the situation. If I go there too early, Odin or Pangu might kill me on the spot. Just tell me exactly what is happening over there.’

‘Can’t you see what I see right now, munya?’

‘I can’t, duh. I’m not omnipotent like Cernun or Meowmeow. I’m just a bullied big boy with FABULOUS MUSCLES!’

“…”

Xiaomao had the urge to facepalm.

Since Xiaomao couldn’t get Ifrit’s help at the moment, he could only rely on his skills and clues. More importantly, his Senpais mentioned that Freya could only MOMENTARY possess Joan. As long as Xiaomao could stall for a while, Joan might lose her new power and get weakened because of the backlashes.

WHOOSH

Xiaomao backflipped and landed on the flying sword. He was a hundred meters above the frozen river, where the raging fight occurred under the ice layer on top of the river.

DING

<Shepherd has blessed you!>

<You are already protected by the Enchanted Domain Destroyer and Sun Wukong’s Bracers. The blessing has no effect on you.>

Suddenly, a beacon of light descended upon Xiaomao. He turned around and noticed that Shepherd used a strange spell on him.

It had been a long time since Xiaomao last-checked Shepherd’s status menu. He thought of snooping on this silent support character, but the malicious presence of Joan didn’t allow Xiaomao to be distracted.

“What did you use, munya?”

Shepherd widened his eyes and shook his head. Then, he pointed at the sky.

Joan, in her second phase, glared at Xiaomao. Her massive eyeball and the seven pupils moved, letting out a sound like sticky water moving in a bowl.

“Miao Xiaomao,” Joan muttered. “By the order of Odin, you are under arrest for colluding with Mu-Nyang and Mao Miaomiao and threatening the peace of the universe. Surrender now, and we may spare your life and your family.”

Xiaomao heard that. He looked up and flipped his tentacles, taunting Freya.

“How about no?”

“Alright. Negotiation failed. Die then.”

CLICK CLICK CLICK

As if Dio Brando had used his ability, the entire battleground turned dark, and everybody stopped moving. However, everybody could still move their eyes around and sense everything.

Xiaomao was stunned. He didn’t know that this kind of time ability existed.

“Surprised?” Mocked Freya, “This is one of your father’s abilities. I managed to figure it out in this life. I must admit. Lord Pangu and Xie Tian are helpful in this research. Now, the Aesir can thrive once again with the secret of time laws!”

Xiaomao raised his brows, interested in the topic.

‘Hmm?’

A second later, he noticed that he could partially move. It was subtle, but the small movement was enough to make the fire sword move.

While Xiaomao was experimenting with his limited movement, Freya moved Joan’s body and stood in front of Xiaomao.

“Come to think of it, I haven’t had a Cathulhu as a pet before. Should I brainwash you and keep you at home? And…”

Freya turned her attention to Shepherd, who looked around in shock and confusion. He shook John, Andrew, and Peter, who were frozen inside the time domain.

“Interesting. So, the time domain doesn’t work on that soulless bastard. That’s another pet to add to my collection.”

Freya vanished and reappeared in front of Shepherd.

“Hi, handsome. Who are you?”

“!!!”

Shepherd widened his eyes. A long spear manifested from his hand, and he thrust toward the giant eyeball.

POEK!

Freya caught it, using Joan’s big hand. However, the spear punctured through the hand and got stuck there.

999,999 DAMAGE!

All pupils looked up and noticed the huge damage output.

Unfortunately, Xiaomao couldn’t see it as he was looking the other way. The cat also focused on something else.

“How curious. Whose incarnation are you? Who is your original body, clone? Ma Moxi? Adam? OG-Buddha? Joshua?”

.

.

Shepherd flinched when Freya mentioned Joshua. He gritted his teeth and pulled out the spear from her hand.

But Freya instantly seized Shepherd’s neck.

“Aha! So your master must be one of the guys I mentioned earlier, I see! Then, I can’t let you liv-!”

CLANK

Before Freya could finish her sentence, Xiaomao moved the Enchanted Domain Destroyer sword and stabbed the air in front of him. A crack appeared in the place that Xiaomao had stabbed, and the entire grey-scaled environment collapsed. The world regained colors. At the same time, a huge number appeared on top of Joan.

BACKLASH CRITICAL!

500,000,000 DAMAGE!

Joan’s seven pupils exploded, and the giant eye leaked transparent liquid. Freya also screamed.

Seeing an opportunity, Shepherd broke free from Freya’s grasp and pushed the dark spear forward.

SWUA

It pierced through Joan’s thick chest. Then, Shepherd received a feedback message from the game system.

DING

<The Spear of Longinus has destroyed Saintess Joan’s immortal soul core.>

<The Spear of Longinus has expelled a soul from Saintess Joan’s body!>

<The Charm of Savior has activated. Saintess Joan has been inflicted with [Love-Struck] abnormal status.>

Shepherd’s face turned pale when he saw the two-heart icon on top of Joan’s head. He recalled the experience he had with Yuan Hua, the Fairy Queen, Qidia, and Magdalene.

During his adventure, Shepherd accidentally charmed all of them. Now, they fell in love with him and unconditionally blessed him with various items, skills, and spells. And now, Joan got caught up in this accursed blessing that Joshua, who was his original body, had given him.

‘Not again,’ Shepherd thought. He immediately pulled the spearhead out of Joan’s chest and was about to stab her again.

Joan suddenly extended her arms, reaching out for Shepherd’s face as if she wanted to touch or embrace him.

Shepherd took a step back. His arms and legs trembled, hesitated.

BANG!

The lightning tribulation was far from over. Another bolt of lightning landed on her.

375,161,612!

The damage was devastating. Her HP bar decreased from half the tank to 12%.

Just one more lightning bolt and she would be done for.

Joan slowly reverted to her human form. Her muscle shrank, and the grotesque eyeball turned back to her angelic face. Although she was in trouble, she brightly smiled at Shepherd.

“GOTCHA, MUNYA!”

SWUA!

Before Joan could touch Shepherd’s face, Xiaomao appeared behind her and lopped off her head with the Domain Destroyer. Her HP bar instantly dropped to zero!

Joan widened her eyes in shock. While her head was rolling on the ground, she kept looking around, searching for Shepherd’s face.

Shepherd ran to Joan’s head and caught it in his arm. He lowered his head and looked at her.

Joan smiled at him once again. Then, her damaged pupils slowly dimmed. Her body and head slowly dissipated to dust.

“…”

Shepherd watched Joan disappear. He muttered without letting out a sound.

‘I’m so sorry. Next time we meet, I hope we can sit down and talk instead of fighting.’

He shed a tear even though he knew that Joan might be resurrected in the game world soon. It still saddened him to see a woman, who accidentally fell in love with him, died at his hands.

Xiaomao hopped on Shepherd’s head. He patted the guy.

“Good job, munya!”

“…”

Shepherd furrowed his brows and looked up. He wanted to say something, but he couldn’t.

Meanwhile, the game system announced the match result.

<Valkyrie Guild’s leader has been killed.>

<Valkyrie Guild has the option to surrender this match or continue fighting until the last man.>

<Valkyrie Guild’s members voted to continue fighting!>

<The match continues!>

“Huh?”

Xiaomao and Shepherd stopped thinking about Joan and turned to the chaotic battlefield.

The battle was not over yet.
