Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 410 Cathulhu's Rewards Are Stolen!

Chapter 410 – Cathulhu's Rewards are Stolen!

SCREECH!

The same way the fisherman did in Xiaomao's dream, the fishing line multiplied into a hundred strings. Then, they all transformed into Cathulhu tentacles. Each arm moved at a lightning speed and pieced the remaining dragons.

Firecracker managed to bite one of the large tentacles, but twenty sharp tips punctured through his scales and skin. One of them reverted into a fishing hook and latched onto his dantian crystal inside his body.

"THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! I'M THE FIRE DRAGON GOD-*PU*"

Sharp pain and the loud thud noise stunned Firecracker. His heart instantly stopped beating, and his pupils dimmed. He briefly saw the karma string of himself being pulled by the mysterious glittering arrowhead hook. His soul was ejected from his body and went along with the karma string.

On the other end, Xiaomao caught the soul of Firecracker and the remaining dragons. In just one reeling, he got all of them, except Clem.

Xiaomao smiled at the fishing rod. He shook it twice, and all tentacles vanished. All strings merged as one and returned to normal. In addition, the pole was spotless as if it was brand new equipment in a supermarket.

"I'm still rusty, munya. That elder in the dream could have caught them all in one swing, but it took me twenty twigs to kill eight dragons. I'm still weak, munya."

"…"

Amon stared at Xiaomao with wide eyes. Those dragons were even stronger than most of Solomon's demon generals, yet Xiaomao literally singlehandedly unalived them in less than a minute.

'You're still weak? If you consider yourself weak, I would have been a helpless toddler!' Amon complained inwardly.

Although Xiaomao had obtained the eight souls of the dragon deities, he wasn't satisfied. He transformed into a giant Cathulhu and scanned the area. His tentacles collected the souls of level-9999 dragons that he massacred earlier and gathered them into a pile.

Because of his massive physique, the other dragons found him and flew toward the battle site. When Xiaomao looked around him, he found black clouds everywhere.

They were not black clouds or rain clouds. Instead, they were the approaching dragon armies. They formed ranks and flew in packs, covering the sky with their sheer number.

Xiaomao snorted and ignored them. He shoved the corpses of dragon deities into his game inventory and prayed to Mu-Nyang.

WHOOSH

The souls of the dead dragons vanished. Xiaomao received no feedback from the game, but he knew that Mu-Nyang would be happy.

Xiaomao wasn't wrong. A moment later, Mu-Nyang's cracked voice was audible in his mind.

'Master! Have your memory returned, munya?!'

Xiaomao was amused. He teased him, "Damn cat! You have been hiding the secret from me all along, munya!"

'Munya? Wait, why are you still MUNYAing?'

"Why? Because I'm a Cathulhu now, munya!"

Mu-Nyang angrily snorted, 'Bah, I thought your memory had already returned, but you still have Alzheimer's. You scared me for a moment, munya.'

Realizing that Mu-Nyang found out his bluff, Xiaomao followed through, "Want me to use you as bait again, munya?"

'W-Wait! You remember that, munya?!'

"What? You think I forgot how I raised you, munya!?"

'YOU DICK, MUNYA! You know that I got PTSD from that, munya!'

Xiaomao cackled while the fishing rod also hummed in rhythm, laughing as well.

While Xiaomao was chatting with MU-Nyang, the dragon armies got closer. They were only 10 kilometers away from Xiaomao and Amon.

"H-H-Husband. I know that you're strong, but my armies are about to arrive. I think the other general has already taken over my subordinates and regiments. I don't think we can…"

"Oh, them?"

Xiaomao shrugged and let go of the fishing pole. The fishing tool levitated in the air.

"Mu-Nyang, can you measure how many years of lifespan I have right now, munya?"

'A little over five years. You used up a lot of karma and life force earlier, munya.'

"Hmm."

Xiaomao gazed at the remaining dantian crystals that he hadn't given to Mu-Nyang yet. He picked them up and tossed them into his mouth. His teeth crushed and chew them like candies.

"NO! Those are the dantians of the deities! Their followers will be transferred to your dantian universe!" Amon shouted in panic.

However, Mu-Nyang and Xiaomao didn't bother. The latter simply chanted a word.

"NIHIL!"

Mu-Nyang complained, 'You have a terrible eating habit now, munya. You are acting like Taoties.'

"That's because I've learned from a Taotie! Anyway, NIHIL!"

The broken dantian crystals melted in Xiaomao's mouth. All living beings inside the universes perished while the stars and dragon Qi entered Xiaomao's dantian universe.

CHING-CHING-CHING

The level indicator drastically changed. Xiaomao glanced at the number on top of his head.

Level 6500

Level 6600

Level 6700

It kept rising even though Xiaomao wasn't physically cultivating.

Amon gulped and gazed at her husband in astonishment. She had no idea that half of Xiaomao's consciousness was inside his dantian universe, sorting new stars and cultivating non-stop.

Ten seconds later, Mu-Nyang reminded Xiaomao.

'50,000 years of lifespan. It's enough, munya.'

Xiaomao glanced at his level. It was 7500 and rising, but Xiaomao didn't care anymore. What mattered the most was his life force as he could use it to kill every dragon here on the spot.

PA!

He clapped his tentacles. Using the clubby arms instead of hands, Xiaomao used the hand incantation once again. A visible glowing seal insignia floated in front of Xiaomao and thumbed.

BOOM

BOOM

BOOM

Half of the approaching dragons in the sky exploded in unison. The black clouds turned red and rained blood. Soul crystals and dantian crystals of the dragons fell from the sky.

'One year remaining now, munya. You have to stop.'

Xiaomao look around and noticed the ashen faces of the dragons. They stopped flying forward and screamed in fright. Then, they turned tail and flew away.

"I guess Undine and others were worried for nothing, munya. This war is too easy."

'Easy my ass, munya. Go eat the immortal dragons' dantians or you'll die in a year for real, munya.'

"On it, son!"

'You're welcome, master.'

.

.

The blood rain and the explosions in the sky didn't escape the eyes of Jungwoo, Bianca, Chase, and many others. Among them, a Caucasian man in full plate armor rubbed his chin while he sat on the corpse of a level-9600 fire dragon's head. Beside him, a handsome long-haired man in red robes gazed at the carnage and furrowed his brow.

"Zhou Yu, do you know who outdid us?"

The man in red robes, Zhou Yu, played with the dantian crystal of the dead fire dragon, transferring the flame stars to his dantian while killing the residents inside. He shook his head as he had no clue.

"I think a deity on our side finished them off or something. By the way, Mr. Huntsman. You're not supposed to eat that soul."

James Huntsman, the knight, smirked and glanced at the half-eaten soul ball in his hand. His aura blackened after he had taken the first bite, and he loved it.

"I can feel the power, Zhou Yu. Soul Devouring Method is the way."

"Your karma will be corrupted. Soon, your status will be degraded to that of a sinner."

"I don't care. We need to get stronger ASAP, or we'll die here. Look at your level, fool!"

Zhou Yu looked at the level indicator above him. It was only 1,200.

On the other hand, James Huntsman's level surpassed 5,000. Despite having a lower level than the flame dragon, he managed to defeat it with bare hands.

After Huntsman swallowed the remaining soul orb, his level jumped to 5,500.

PU!

As if Huntsman's protagonist luck was at work, a dozen dantian crystals and soul orbs fell from the sky and landed next to them. The knight laughed and picked the souls. Then, he kicked the dantian crystals at Zhou Yu.

"You can have those. I'm satisfied with the souls."

"…"

Zhou Yu had a bad feeling about this, but he collected the dantian crystals. He kept one of them in his game inventory, but he offered the rest to Mu-Nyang.

.

.

Not far from Zhou Yu and James Huntsman's location, a lone half-naked man stood on top of a tree, admiring the rain of blood. He extended his hands and managed to catch a dantian crystal and a dragon soul.

Caesar, the latecomer, did exactly what Huntsman aspired. However, he also merged his dantian universe with the dragon's dantian universes, stealing their populations.

Although Caesar had no mentor, he could split his consciousness like Xiaomao. In his dantian universe, he visited the confused population and followers of dead dragons. Then, he declared.

"Your master has been killed by a vile villain, and your master's corpse accidentally lands on my hand. For now, my universe will be your new home."

Many drakes and wyverns in the dead dragon's dantian universe complained and threatened Caesar, who was weaker than them, "Bullshit! I bet you killed our master!"

"Check my karma, then."

"Hah?"

Dragons and their descendants were sensitive to karma and the murderer of their kin. They soon noticed that Caesar didn't kill their master as he didn't possess the usual brand, a dragon curse, or a dragon slayer title.

Caesar took advantage of the momentum and persuaded them, "Although I don't know why dragons want me dead, I'm willing to help those who aren't a part of this conflict. While I'm investigating what is happening out there, I hope that you can respect my universe and don't run rampant. Otherwise, I might die, and you won't learn about the murderer of your master."

"..."

The drakes, wyverns, and the dantian residents of the dead dragon hesitated even though they didn't trust Caesar. However, as their lives were now bound with Caesar, they decided to temporarily work with him.

"Fine. If you can find out who killed our master, we'll help you. If you can avenge our master, we'll make you our god!"

"Great!" Caesar inwardly laughed. He bowed and excused himself. Then, he took in another dantian universe and repeated what he did to the previous group.

His level jumped from 1,000 to 5,000 after he pacified one universe. After he finished with the second one, it reached 7,000!
