MMORPG: I was BUGGED-Chapter 232: Conquering the Third Level!

Amidst the chaos, Xin and Midnight Duchess coordinated their efforts. They communicated through swift glances and subtle gestures, adapting their strategies on the fly.

Xin summoned additional golems when needed, reinforcing their defenses and bolstering their offensive capabilities.

Midnight Duchess lunged at the Bloodcountess with unmatched ferocity, her determination fueled by a potent mix of vengeance and a burning desire to prove her own beauty.

She vowed to make the Bloodcountess pay for what she had done to Lord Schrödinger, but above all, she intended to shatter the vampire’s arrogance and make her acknowledge her superior charm.

In the midst of their fierce battle, a bizarre turn occurred: it became a showdown for the title of the most beautiful.

"You’re incredibly persistent!" the Bloodcountess snapped, sending a barrage of blood bullets hurtling towards Midnight Duchess.

Midnight Duchess, undeterred, casually removed her cloak, revealing her appearance as she gracefully evaded the raining bullets. "Didn’t I warn you? I’m going to make sure you regret this a hundred times over."

The Bloodcountess scoffed, her arrogance seemingly unshakable. "Regret, my dear? You wish! You’re just an old, jealous, ugly hag."

Midnight Duchess’s smile turned sweet, but there was an angry vein popping on her face. "Old and ugly? Are you talking about yourself? Aren’t you, like, a thousand years old or something?"

The Bloodcountess’s confident demeanor wavered, her features contorting in fury. Suddenly, her appearance shifted dramatically. Her mouth widened to reveal rows of jagged, sharp teeth; her skin cracked, her veins bulged, and her eyes turned bloodshot as she roared in anger.

"How dare you talk about a woman’s age!"

Aren’t you the one who revealed it in the first place? Xin thought.

"Ara~ Truth hurts, doesn’t it?" Midnight Duchess giggled mischievously.

"I’ll make you pay, you wretched demon!" the Bloodcountess snarled, her rage palpable.

Midnight Duchess smirked. "By the end of this fight, you’ll realize who the real ugly one is between us."

The Bloodcountess’s eyes turned bloodshot, her entire body shaking with anger. "I have never been this infuriated in my entire existence. You lowly demoness, prepare to be torn limb from limb!"

In the midst of their fierce exchange, Xin and his Golems were momentarily forgotten.

"Women can be terrifying . . ." Xin muttered under his breath, to which Pudding emphatically nodded in agreement as if saying, "Tell me about it!"

The battle between the two roared on. Midnight Duchess strikes were precise, her movements calculated, as she sought to find an opening in the Bloodcountess’s formidable defenses.

As the battle raged on, the clash of steel, the crackle of arcane energy, and the hiss of the Bloodcountess’s attacks filled the air.

Each moment was a test of their skill and teamwork. With every strike and spell, they chipped away at the Bloodcountess’s formidable health pool, inching closer to victory.

As the battle raged on, Midnight Duchess fought with unparalleled ferocity, skillfully dodging the Bloodcountess’s attacks and countering with swift, precise strikes.

With each hit, she and the Abyssal Golems chipped away at the Bloodcountess’s HP, a feat that seemed impossible given their situation.

Xin commanded his golems with strategic precision, their rocky forms weathering the onslaught of the vampire’s attacks.

But what Xin didn’t realize was that Midnight Duchess was using her skills and items at an alarming rate, depleting her resources to wear down the Bloodcountess’s life.

The Bloodcountess, sensing the danger, entered Last Stance Mode, a state of heightened power and desperation.

In this form, her appearance twisted grotesquely. Her once elegant features contorted, her skin turned pallid and mottled, and her eyes glowed with a malevolent crimson light. Enormous bat-like wings sprouted from her back, stretching wide with a ghastly grace.

In Last Stance Mode, the Bloodcountess’s speed became unmatched. She moved with a blinding swiftness, leaving afterimages in her wake.

Even Midnight Duchess struggled to keep up with the vampire’s newfound agility. The Abyssal Golems, once imposing and powerful, found themselves outmaneuvered, unable to match the Bloodcountess’s rapid attacks.

Xin’s Basic Golems, stalwart defenders until now, were reduced to piles of ashes one after another. The Bloodcountess’s strikes were devastating, tearing through the golems’ stone bodies with ease.

Each blow reduced them to rubble, their once formidable forms crumbling under the force of the vampire’s onslaught.

Midnight Duchess huffed. "How annoying. Just die already."

She clashed with the Bloodcountess, her weapon a blur of motion as she parried and struck back.

However, the tide of the battle had shifted drastically. The Bloodcountess’s attacks grew more ferocious, her movements more unpredictable.

Midnight Duchess, despite her skill, found herself on the defensive, desperately trying to evade the vampire’s deadly blows.

Xin, too, was pushed to his limits. He struggled to command his remaining golems, their numbers dwindling rapidly.

Pudding darted around the battlefield, attempting to distract the Bloodcountess. However, the vampire’s newfound speed was beyond anything the small creature could match.

With a flick of her wrist, the Bloodcountess sent Pudding spiraling through the air, rendering its attempts futile.

"Pudding!" Xin shouted.

Pudding collided with a solid wall, the impact dealing a harsh blow that left it with bludgeoning damage.

With its HP already low, it reverted back to its original form, a small, amorphous blob. Gasping for air, it staggered back to Xin’s side, its form barely holding together with just one remaining HP, and disappeared into Xin’s pet menu for safety.

The Bloodcountess’s Last Stance Mode had indeed shifted the balance of the battle dramatically. With each passing moment, their chances of survival grew slimmer.

Their resources had been depleted, leaving Xin with the ability to summon only one more Golem.

In the face of the Bloodcountess’s overwhelming power, the question remained: what could a single Golem achieve in this dire situation?

Meanwhile, Midnight Duchess was on the brink of exhaustion. Her HP and MP were dwindling rapidly, and the situation was growing increasingly dire.

It was undeniable –– they were losing ground rapidly.

If they didn’t find a way to turn the tide, they were bound to be wiped out.

Xin clenched his teeth, his mind racing for a solution. The thought of calling Elysia to their aid crossed his mind, a last-ditch effort to salvage their desperate situation.

Before Xin could make up his mind, Midnight Duchess appeared behind him, her touch sending a shiver down his spine. Her hand was chilling despite his armor.

"It looks like you’ll have to venture into the final dungeon alone," she said, her voice oddly calm despite the chaos around them. A small, enigmatic smile played on her lips.
