Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!-Chapter 367 Cat Dad Faction’s Protagonist VS Pangu Faction’s Protagonist
Chapter 367 – Cat Dad's Subordinate VS Protagonist
"KIKIKIKI!!"
The remaining party girls on the B3 level quickly retreated and avoided confrontation with Hiiro. The adults carried the little ones in their arms and rushed to the nearest teleportation platforms.
While killing the adult monsters, Hiiro stumbled on a clumsy child form of a party girl. He looked down, staring at the plushy doll without a face.
The little girl trembled in fear and fell on her butt. Then, she covered her head and shivered in desperation.
Hiiro's cold eyes didn't change. He raised his sword and swung down.
SWUA!
An adult party girl emerged from the ground and blocked the strike with her body. However, the broadsword sliced through both the adult and the child.
"Ki…"
No tear of regret came out from the adult party girl's face. Her smiley face soothed the heart of the dying child before her body slowly dissipated into dust.
The child was still alive, but the sword already severed half of her body. The plushy doll had no cotton inside, and blood gushed out from the wounds.
"… Ki…"
Hiiro scoffed at the dying child. Although he always avoided unnecessary fights, he never let his guard down against monsters, especially women and children. From his experience in W-1, monster children contributed 55% of the player's casualties – Whenever players showed compassion or spared the lives of the helpless children and pregnant monsters, the monsters often repaid the favor with betrayal, killing the players when they weren't paying attention.
In this dungeon as well, Hiiro noticed that the young party girls dragged their feet and stayed behind in the classroom instead of escaping with her friends. This was a red flag from his point of view.
Mercilessly, Hiiro raised his sword and stabbed it into the child's head.
Before dying, the child extended her hand and managed to touch Hiiro's left hard leather boot. The fangs from her palm-mouth bit into the equipment.
"Hmm!"
Hiiro pulled out his sword and stomped on the head of the child. She dissipated into dust.
Despite the killing spree, Hiiro's expression was dark. He waited for a long time, but he received no feedback from the game system – There was no confirmation of his kills!
No EXP.
No item drops. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m
NOTHING!
"You can fool others, but you can't fool me, monsters. I know you all are still alive!"
Hiiro bellowed and began using his other constellation domain ability, scanning the labyrinth.
DING
<You have activated a stellar constellation domain – Dungeon Annihilator!>
<If you are inside a hostile dungeon, all mechanical devices, traps, teleportation platforms, and dungeon house rules will be disabled. The dungeon master cannot notice your presence through their dungeon core.>
<As long as you are inside a hostile dungeon, your attributes are double. Decrease all dungeon monsters' attributes by 50 %.>
<You can freely navigate through this dungeon as long as you keep this domain active.>
A 3D map hologram appeared in front of Hiiro. His eyes were fixated on the bright blue dot in the center of the map as it highlighted his current location.
'This dungeon is huge. But without the sanity rules, this place is nothing. I can just kill my way to that area on that weird-looking floor.'
Hiiro's eyes found the Tower Bridge on the B7 floor. The map showed two Obelisk Towers and a thousand mermen, carrying their supplies from the lower floors to the boss room behind the defensive structures.
However, that was not Hiiro's destination. He expanded the map and searched for an individual instead of the dungeon's bosses.
'Not here. Not the 7th level. Over there.'
Hiiro narrowed his eyes and targeted a certain resident on the B10 floor. The target was inside a house alone.
That was where Xiaomao was!
After managing to find his assassination target, the map marked him with a red dot and a red flag. Then, Hiiro looked up. As if a GPS HUD was unlocked, Hiiro could see a glowing yellow path, leading him toward the destination that he had marked earlier.
Not wanting to waste any more time, Hiiro cleaned his swords with a clean towel and sprinted along the glowing yellow path. He came across two intersections and took a left turn twice as if he planned to return to where he had come from.
Despite the questionable pathway, Hiiro stumbled upon a long corridor. In front of him was a gate with the mark of a party girl's face. And protecting the gate was an angel, holding his spear. A halo over his head ceaselessly rotated and hummed, providing Holy Element Essence to him.
Hiiro didn't bother checking the angel's strength and identity. He leaped toward the man with the intention to kill, thinking of him as another monster in the dungeon.
The angel looked up and glared into Hiiro's soul.
CLICK-CLICK-CLICK
Hiiro heard the ticking noise of a clock. The next moment, a spear tip was already in front of his chest.
"!!!"
Hiiro twisted his body in midair and narrowly dodged the spear strike. The spear blade sliced through his legendary-grade leather armor and instantly decreased its durability to zero in one attack!
CHING
The spear blade changed shapes. Instead of a triangle spear, it transformed into a pickaxe spear.
The angel pulled and swung the spear at the same time as if he was using a scythe. The pickaxe blade came after Hiiro's neck.
"Tsk!"
Hiiro didn't think much of the attack as it seemed basic. But as he tried to command his arms to parry the strike with his swords, he sensed something unusual.
He couldn't move his arms.
Rather, he couldn't even move his body!
At that moment, Hiiro finally realized what the angel's power was. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

DING
<You have activated the stellar constellation domain – Samael!>
<No one but you can move in your domain for nine seconds!>
Shepherd ignored the simple description of his domain ability as he had no time to waste. He commanded his soul-bound weapon "Longinus" to transform into a pickaxe spear.
SWUA!
The pickaxe blade sliced through Hiiro's neck and cut the main arteries, dealing eight digits of damage!
[Joshua]: "Too shallow! He's going to break free in two seconds. Use Uriel Domain before the Samael's domain ends!"
"Roger!"
While fighting, Shepherd received instructions from his sponsor. He flipped his spear and sent a strand of Qi into it. Then, it changed into a bardiche. He followed up with the upward slash, attempting to behead Hiiro with this strike.
CLANK!
The broadsword of Hiiro pierced into empty air. Just like what happened to Party Queen, Hiiro destroyed Shepherd's domain.
Hiiro could move again. Before the bardiche reached his neck, he pulled his head away from the blade.
SWUA
Due to the late evasive maneuver, the bardiche blade grazed his face and sliced off half of his lower jaw!
Hiiro flinched as this was one of the rare occasions that someone could injure him. He calmly leaped away, keeping the distance from Shepherd.
Before Hiiro could even cast a healing spell or use a potion, Shepherd kicked the ground and got into the polearm's reach again. As if he was possessed, Shepherd's pupil color turned to gold, and his white feather wings grew brighter.
DING
<You have activated a stellar constellation domain – Uriel!>
<When fighting against a stronger opponent with negative karma, increase all your attributes to match the strongest opponent. Then, add a total sum of your positive karma points to all your stats. The effects last until the fight is over or you disable the domain.>
None of the men paid attention to Shepherd's ability as they had no time to care. Suddenly, Shepherd's movement speed was faster than Hiiro's. In a blink of an eye, the bardiche reverted to a triangle spear, and ten thousand after images appeared as Shepherd pressed on the attacks.
"!!!"
Hiiro weaved his swords, parrying most of the attacks. However, 3,000 of the strikes pierced his skin.
Being at a disadvantage, Hiiro's eyes were as red as blood. Even without a lower jaw, he roared.
DING
<You have activated a stellar constellation domain – Comeback Victory!>
<Instantly recover your HP, MP, and Qi to the full. Double your attributes and increase your combat stats by 50% until the fight is over. Your attacks cannot be defended or dodged.>
Unbeknownst to Hiiro, every time his attributes were increased, Shepherd's domain increased his stats to match him too!
SWUA!
Suddenly, the triangle spear found its way into Hiiro's heart!
Unable to cope with the new speed and strength, Hiiro failed to react to Shepherd's speed burst!
"I-Impossible!"
"GO TO HELL! METATRON!"
DING
<You have activated the constellation domain – Metatron!>
<Your opponents cannot activate any domain ability. Seal their spells, skills, and Qi.>
This time, Hiiro briefly saw the text. He kicked the ground and pulled himself away from the spear. Then, he ejected a scroll from his inventory.
Shepherd knew what the scroll could do. Not allowing the immortal to retreat, he transformed his spear into a halberd. As if he turned into a war god, his overhead swing contained momentum and a massive aura. Behind him, an avatar of an archangel with Mao Miaomiao's face appeared, overlapping with Shepherd's body.
BOOM
The halberd severed Hiiro's right arm, which was holding the teleportation scroll.
Hiiro widened his eyes in disbelief. In his eyes, Shepherd's power was similar to a deity!
He was fighting a god!
