"Licard, sword slash! Luca, wave missile! Grating cannon!"
Without McCott's prompting, Lu Ming already knew the thing was catching up. He immediately gave the order and hurled a cannon at the creature's face.
With a burst of silvery-white light, the dark sword energy slash and the pale blue wave missile also struck the monster. In an instant, it was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground, the mud flying off its body.
However, when Lu Ming and the others saw the monster's body encased in mud, they almost vomited. The monster's body beneath the mud was the rotting carcass of a giant wild boar!
Although it's impossible to tell how it died, the numerous short arrows embedded in its body indicate that it was killed by dwarves or goblins!
"Drawn by resentment, it corrupted the corpse and turned into this monster?" Lu Ming frowned, avoiding looking at the wild boar's carcass, pondering as he carefully observed the dark, rotten mud being flung off the boar's body.
After being flung out, the mud tumbled on the ground, as if it had its own will...
"What do you know?!" The wild boar carcass on the ground suddenly shouted, interrupting Lu Ming's thoughts.
The mud swarmed and flowed onto the wild boar, restoring it to its previous appearance.
It looked at the shocked Lu Ming, laughed loudly, roared angrily, and cried sadly, asking, "As an intelligent race, how could you know the resentment in our hearts?!"
"Then, how much do you know about the resentment your own people harbor towards you?" Lu Ming glanced at the small monsters surrounding them, who showed no aggression, and calmed the shock of the wild boar's sudden outburst. He looked directly into its eyes and questioned, "You killed them all! Didn't you!?"
"That's right! I killed them all! And you will become like them!" The giant boar had gone mad, crying and laughing as it responded to Lu Ming's questioning. However, it also launched an attack!
"Shadow Ball!" A dark energy ball, purple inside and black outside, was shot out of the mud by the giant wild boar and aimed directly at Lu Ming's body.
"Raster Cannon!" In retaliation, Lu Ming fired a silver-white ball of light, detonating the shadow ball and causing the surrounding monsters to let out cries of fear.
"This thing, like the Soul Eater, knows Pokémon moves. What on earth is going on...?"
"Hmph! The power of your magic is quite impressive! But how much magic power do you have left?"
"Hahahaha!" Looking at the Ghost-type boar monster swaggering around, Lu Ming suddenly burst into laughter for no apparent reason. His grating cannon had been upgraded to level 2 after ten uses. Its power was now incomparable to the old grating cannon.
"why are you laughing?"
After filling a bottle of elemental ash, Lu Ming looked at the boar monster with a cold expression and laughed, "I'm laughing at your stupidity!"
"Damn it! Shadow Ball!"
"Raster Cannon!!" Seeing the boar launch Shadow Ball once again, Lu Ming immediately used his level 2 Raster Cannon, directly smashing the Shadow Ball to pieces!
However, before the boar could launch another attack, at the point where the two completely different energy spheres collided and exploded, a silver-white ball of light suddenly broke free from the dark and resentful energy, striking the boar monster directly in the face. In an instant, it erupted with intense light!
Because of the silvery-white light, Lu Ming and the others couldn't open their eyes. Among them, Licat, who had fought Lu Ming before, was somewhat incredulous that Lu Ming's grating cannon possessed even greater power!
After a while, when the light faded, Likat and the others discovered that Lu Ming's beam cannon had directly destroyed most of the boar monster's body! They all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Not bad!"
-----------------------------------
Yesterday I happily played The Lord of Cinder, only to see comments saying the protagonist is a masochist. I'm speechless. The protagonist isn't a super soldier, a special forces soldier, or a gangster who can kill ruthlessly and easily. He's just a college graduate who's a shut-in. Asking him to kill is a bit much, isn't it? Not everyone is a serial killer from the start.
Chapter Thirty-Two - The Deep Boar King (Part Two)
"As expected, it won't die even like this." Watching the wild boar monster gradually being covered in mud again and slowly turning back into a spider-like shape, Lu Ming showed no surprise on his face, but rather a hint of understanding.
"Rafam, Dex, Freddy's shield, Hax and the ranged units stand back, Yorshka heal the shield, and watch out for dispelling spells! Licarte, Luca flank! Main attacker McCot, use fire magic!" Looking at that damned black sludge, Lu Ming began issuing orders to everyone.
"What is milk?" Hearing Lu Ming's command, everyone began to act according to the plan. However, Rafam and Fren both glanced back at You'er Sika's washboard, and Rafam's expression was somewhat...
"Shut up! This is a matter of life and death, don't dwell on these issues!" Lu Ming roared angrily, his face darkening.
"Heh, you know you can't beat me alone, so you plan to use your team strength?" Looking at the group who had already taken their positions according to Lu Ming's instructions, the boar monster laughed and said with great contempt, "Then let me see just how strong you really are!"
After saying that, he charged forward, viciously crashing into Dexter, Fren, and Rafaam, who were carrying shields!
Then, everyone heard a heavy thud, and Dex and Fren were knocked back a step, cold sweat breaking out on their faces. Rafaam was knocked even further away, landing at Yul's feet.
Whether by coincidence or not, Rafaam's current posture and angle allowed him to see just the bottom of Yorshka's skirt beneath her robe. The result, of course, was predictable. After being soundly struck several times by Yorshka's Pihem Staff, he scrambled to his feet, grabbed his shield, and ran back to the front lines.
Lu Ming glanced at McCott, who was chanting a spell, and shouted to Riccard and Luca, who had circled around behind the boar monster: "Riccard, Sword Aura Slash! Luca, Wave Missile!"
"Understood!" "Aww!"
Licarte and Luca responded with a word, and then unleashed sword slashes and wave missiles, which directly hit the boar monster's huge rear end, destroying a large amount of mud and a small part of the boar's carcass!
However, this action immediately diverted the boar monster's aggro.
"Damn it! Fren, stab it with the Hyde Straight Sword! Dex, Bubble Ray!"
"Got it!" "Okay!"
Seeing the boar monster slowly turn around, Furen thrust his sword, plunging half of the Hyde Straight Sword into its body, causing it to let out a scream. At the same time, Dex unleashed his Bubble Beam, spitting out a large number of bubbles that slammed into the boar monster, rendering it unable to retaliate for a moment.
"Wow! When did you learn this trick?" Fren was startled when he saw the bubbles coming out of Dex's mouth.
"That's the time you made Yul Sica take your place!" Dex answered Furen, having forcefully blocked a swing from the boar monster with the Black Knight Greatshield and with Yul Sica's healing.
"Hey, hey, hey! You two! This isn't the time to chat, is it?" Harks, who was idly holding a crescent wolf cub not far away, shouted angrily when he saw Fren and Dex chatting.
"Anyone who doesn't know archery or magic, and doesn't even have a shield, has no right to speak!" Furen and Dex's angry roars left Hax speechless, his face darkening.
At this moment, McCott's fire magic was finally ready.
"Rafam, get out of the way! Fren, Dex, move to the sides!" Lu Ming shouted immediately when he saw McCot throw a huge fireball at the boar monster.
"Understood!" Upon hearing Lu Ming's order, Rafaam, who was already struggling against the boar monster, immediately ran away. Furen and Dex also tried their best to dodge to the sides.
The boar monster that was about to attack Fren and his companions again was caught in a fireball spell by McCot instead because the three of them suddenly dodged!
The moment the black mud collided with the fireball, the boar monster's entire body was ignited!
Immediately, shrill screams filled the air, as if the wild boar monster would die completely at any moment.
But Lu Ming knew that this was merely the wild boar monster's screams caused by the burning mud on its body. Once the flames died down, everything would return to normal, and nothing would change. So, after instructing McCott to continue preparing fire magic in case of emergency, he immediately unleashed a barrage of light-emitting cannons!
But just as the grating cannon was about to strike the ignited boar monster, the black mud on its body suddenly surged and expanded, turning into a barrier that protected its entire body.
The light exploded, blinding and dazzling, making it impossible for anyone to open their eyes. The wild boar monster, torn apart by the light, screamed as it was ripped to pieces under the combined attack of fire and light.
With his eyes closed and his magic staff tightly gripped, Lu Ming dashed towards the location of the boar monster in a flash of light, shouting, "Fran's Swift Sword!"
A deep blue soul sword extended from the tip of the magic staff, severing the silver-white light, orange-red fire, and dark mud, revealing the remaining body of the boar monster.
"Fine Snow!" Lu Ming exhaled a chilling breath, freezing the swirling mud that was frantically trying to re-envelop the rotting body.
"Fran's Swift Sword!" The second Soul Sword pierced the boar monster's already rotting heart and then its body, ending its life completely!
However, at that moment, a snake suddenly broke out of the frozen mud and bit Lu Ming's leg, causing him to scream and fall to the ground.
"Hey! Are you alright?" Because the bright light from the grating cannon made their eyes a little blurry, the crowd didn't see Lu Ming being bitten by a snake. They only saw him fall to the ground, so they ran over and helped him up.
Lifting up his trouser leg, Lu Ming glanced at it and found no wounds. The snake that had bitten him was nowhere to be seen; it had vanished without a trace.
"I'm fine. I just got hit on the leg by that thing. I'm a little unsteady on my feet now." Seeing that everyone was worried about him, Lu Ming shook his head and kept the fact that he had been bitten by a snake a secret.
After being helped to the side and sitting down, Lu Ming and the others turned their attention to the small wild boars covered in mud, only to witness a scene that surprised them. They saw that most of the boars had the mud fall off their bodies on its own, as if they had been cleansed. The remaining boars, still covered in mud, ran away and fled into the depths of the forest.
“There must be monsters that are actually large wild boars in there. Given our current situation, we should go back and rest first, so we don’t die here.” Looking at the still lifeless depths of the forest, Lu Ming gave his idea, and received the agreement of the injured trio of shields and You’er Sica, who had run out of magic.
As for the others, they had no other opinions. After all, it was better to deal with something completely unknown when there were more people involved. If it weren't for Fren, Dex, and Rafam holding off the monster, and Licarte and Luca attacking from behind to reduce the number of slimes, and then McCot and Lu Ming, the two mages, finishing off the monster, everyone might have died here.
Moreover, the monster's strength greatly alarmed everyone. If the monster were to fight Lu Ming or Likat one-on-one, it would undoubtedly win, not either Lu Ming or Likat.
-----------------------------------
Upon returning to the city, the first thing Lu Ming and the others did was go to the church where the campfire was. However, when they arrived, they were taken aback by the dozens of people studying the campfire there.
Under the scrutiny of those who treated them like lab rats, Lu Ming and the others healed themselves over the campfire and then slunk away in all directions.
Of course, Lu Ming's Sage Candlestick was also lost.
After leaving the church and returning home, Lu Ming took off his clothes, which were covered in mud and rotting flesh, and threw them in the trash can. Then he sat on the sofa in the living room and started looking at his phone.
Name: Lu Ming

Rating: 8
Experience required to reach the next level: 2375
Stamina: 15
Power: 17
Agility: 15
Intelligence: 24
Spirit: 18
Mana: 190
Affiliation: Farron Undead Legion
System evaluation: From the Undead Legion, a soon-to-be-promoted magic apprentice.
The wild boar monster and other small wild boars gave him more experience points than any other monster, instantly leveling him up to level 8, which made him a little happy. However, the increase in wolf blood, for some unknown reason, made Lu Ming a little worried.
"What exactly is four percent wolf blood?" Puzzled, Lu Ming opened the quest log and was surprised to find that the main quest [Master B], which had no hints whatsoever, was actually completed.
"Congratulations on completing the main quest: [Master Yi], you have obtained 199 Moonlight Arrows, 2 Ghost Skill Points, and 1 Irithyll Doll."
"Moonlight Arrow? Irithyll Doll? What the hell?" Although the skill points given by the main quest were still a rip-off, the Moonlight Arrow and the doll piqued Lu Ming's interest. However, the new main quest, [The Deep Curse], was just as frustrating as [The Beast Master].
However, the good news is that a new daily quest has been added: [Moonlight in Irithyll of the Boreal Valley].
"Moonlight in the Boreal Valley: Purify six corrupted miniature burrowing boars. Reward: 10 Moonlight Arrows."
The sinister claws of evil have already reached the Helen Forest outside Paris. Therefore, the Darkmoon Knights of Irithyll of the Boreal Valley have commissioned the wolf god of the forest to send several Crescent Wolves to issue this quest, seeking the help of the undead. Although you are not undead, as a member of Irithyll of the Boreal Valley and Paris, you too must shoulder your responsibilities!
If you possess Irithyll's Doll, this quest can be completed directly, but the reward will be halved.
"Uh... this is what the little doll is for? I don't believe it!" Looking at the information on the daily task, Lu Ming exclaimed and opened his inventory to check the function of this weird little doll.
"The Little Doll of Irithyll: The Key to Return to Irithyll, given by Pope Sulyvahn to knights and mages who have gone out."
If you held it to your ear, you could faintly hear someone whispering: 'Wherever you wish to go, Yrixus will always be by the moon; wherever you are, Yrixus will always be your home.'
