Chapter 5: The Waste Warrior's Game Journey
Before Kamiya Yu could react, his health bar rapidly dropped to 20%.
"Quick, put up your shield to block! You're so stupid!"
Kamiya Yu frantically pressed the keyboard, and fortunately, he got lucky this time, successfully casting a skill. Three shields surrounded him, blocking the vampires.
Using this brief opening, Kamiya Yu quickly checked the skill guide and successfully cast Whirlwind Slash, sending the surrounding monsters flying.
"Boom, boom, boom."
When the monsters landed, they found their nearest target was Fallen Angel and rushed towards her.
"Ahhh! You Worthless Warrior, save me quickly!" Fallen Angel's voice continuously came from the monster horde, and blood kept spurting from the Priest, making the monsters' attack speed much faster.
Seeing this, Kamiya Yu hastily controlled his character to rush towards Fallen Angel. [Holy Impact], Kamiya Yu's character glowed golden and charged rapidly at the monsters.
"Crash!"
The monster horde scattered, and by the time they landed, they were already dead.
"This is ridiculous! You're a Warrior, why aren't you aggroing properly! Remember to always provide support!"
"..." Kamiya Yu typed a string of ellipses, then quickly hammered out a message, expressing his dissatisfaction to Fallen Angel.
"Sorry, sorry. Although I think there was a slight mistake just now, you put a debuff on me right from the start. How am I supposed to play like that?"
Fallen Angel cast healing on both of them while saying, "I made a mistake with the debuff, but it's your fault for not being able to tank the monsters. I told you to use your skills earlier, but you wouldn't, and you even had to look up a guide."
Kamiya Yu's heart tightened. How did she know? He hadn't told her!
As both of their health returned to 100%, Fallen Angel quickly walked towards the ancient castle ahead, hurrying Kamiya Yu behind her to catch up.
The outside of the ancient castle was eerie, surrounded by many tombstones, creating a oppressive atmosphere on the screen.
"Who allowed you to step into Lord Earl's territory? Trespassers will be killed without mercy."
A knight riding a skeleton warhorse appeared before Kamiya Yu. The knight was entirely black, with empty eyes and only two green flames burning.
Just as Kamiya Yu was thinking this character looked cool, the skeleton knight's long spear instantly pierced his chest, and his health rapidly dropped to zero.
"Quick, use resurrection! I'm dead."
"Coming, don't panic."
White light covered Fallen Angel, and just as she raised her staff high, the skeleton knight's long spear mercilessly pierced her body as well. Soon, two fresh corpses appeared on the ground.
Kamiya Yu's computer screen displayed [Return to City Time 50 seconds].
"It's all your fault, why did you die first! You couldn't even last a second."
"Ahhh! My skill was just one second away from being cast!"
In a dim room, Gabriel, hunched over her computer, roared continuously, venting her frustration.
Kamiya Yu, in his room, felt a bit noisy outside his window and got up to close it.
Beside the two corpses, a well-equipped small team appeared.
"Who allowed you to step into..." Before the skeleton knight could finish speaking, countless attacks bombarded its body.
"Holy Amplification!"
"Holy Sword Slash!"
"Storm of Destruction!"
One by one, dazzling special effects appeared on the screen, causing the skeleton knight's health to rapidly deplete to zero, just like the two idiots from before.
"Haha, the idiot duo failed again."
"Do you need me to resurrect you, Worthless Angel?"
The Priest in a white nurse's uniform in the team teased Fallen Angel on the ground softly.
"No need," Gabriel gritted her teeth, stubbornly typing out the three words.
"Alright, you two can keep lying on the ground."
"We're going to farm Dark Night Earl. We've done it over 20 times and still haven't gotten the Night Scepter."
The Priest who had just spoken followed the team and gradually moved away.
Fallen Angel on the screen didn't speak, which made Kamiya Yu a bit confused. Normally, wouldn't she immediately retort when someone mocked her?
It wasn't that Gabriel didn't want to retort; it was that she had been too excited just now and kicked her toe on the wooden table. At this moment, her hands were covering and rubbing her foot.
"It hurts so much! It's all that woman's fault. Next time I see her in the wild, I'll definitely put a few debuff auras on her."
Gabriel slowly spoke, while intently staring at the disappearing figure of the Priest on the screen.
As the death countdown reached zero, the two reappeared in the Temple Hall, surrounded by constant shouts of laughter.
"Idiot duo, how are you back so quickly? Were you massacred?"
"I'm afraid these two didn't even get into the ancient castle, since those monsters are pretty high level."
"I bet Fallen Angel used a debuff as a buff on the Worthless Warrior, didn't she?"
...Netizens in the Temple kept sending barrages of comments on the public chat. Of course, they weren't just mocking the two; some even offered guidance to help them improve their skills.
Many considered them the 'group darlings' of server 666. Their names were widely known in this game, and many from other servers even transferred to 666 just to watch their antics.
"You guys are so annoying! Aren't you going to do the timed quests?" Fallen Angel's exasperated and angry words appeared on the public chat, and soon more comments flooded in.
"No way, there are still people who haven't cleared Dark Night Earl?" The avatar next to the comment showed: Level 89 Paladin.
"Ah, wasn't the Night Duke reward from a week ago more generous? Why are you still fighting the Earl?" Level 95 Holy Battle Mage.
"Isn't this map something you can solo?" Level 80 Jungle Ranger.
In reality, Gabriel, under the glaring screen, frantically hammered her keyboard, venting her anger.
"You people are so hateful! What do you mean 'you can solo'? I'm only level 45 and a Priest. How am I supposed to solo?"
"I'll clear Dark Night Earl this week and show you all."
...A comment appeared on the public chat, instantly stunning Gabriel.
"Isn't today the last day of the event? Are there still people who haven't gotten the timed event rewards?" Level 45 Knight.
This comment suddenly appearing on the public chat silenced everyone for a moment, then erupted into an even stronger response.
"Hahahaha!"
"Haha, I'm dying of laughter!"
"Look how well I imitated it: 'I'll clear Dark Night Earl this week.'"
(○｀ε´○)
Looking at the comments on the public chat, Gabriel's fists clenched repeatedly. She decided to ignore these annoying netizens. She opened her friends list and sent a private message to Kamiya Yu.
"Worthless Warrior, let's stop playing here for today. Do you have time tomorrow and the day after? If so, we can level up and do our class advancement quests."
Kamiya Yu looked at the red dot on his friends list, opened the chat box, saw Fallen Angel's message, and immediately replied.
"I have time. Also, my game name is Love Warrior, not Worthless Warrior."
"Worthless Warrior sounds much better than Love Warrior. I really don't know how you came up with that game name. Anyway, I'm just going to call you Worthless Warrior."
"Alright, whatever you want."
╮(╯_╰)╭
After Kamiya Yu exchanged a few casual words with her, he immediately logged out of the game.
