Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 414 Cathulhu’s New Feud

Chapter 414 – Cathulhu's New Feud

After getting Shepherd back, Xiaomao set his sight on the dragons, ready to farm some lifespan from the dragons.

The table turned - The hunters became the hunted.

Xiaomao left his cave and flew north. He scanned everywhere to search for stray dragons to kill.

It wasn't hard to find one. After flying for ten minutes, Xiaomao found a herd of 500 dragons at a distance.

As soon as the dragons saw Xiaomao, they warned their friends and dispersed in every direction.

Xiaomao was annoyed. As he couldn't attack them with karma techniques or with the fishing rod, he activated a regular sword domain and attacked them from afar.

Unfortunately, the dragons were too quick. They also used their domain buffs and got out of Xiaomao's reach. Then, they flew to space, leaving the planet.

"Come back here, geckos!"

Xiaomao taunted the dragons, but none of them reacted.

Frustrated, Xiaomao transformed into a giant cathulhu. He taunted again, "You can't even kill a freaking cat, munya! Keep sticking those tails in your asses because y'all are so GEH and desperate that you need something to shove in your assholes to masturbate, munya!"

"HAH?!"

The taunt worked. Some of them stopped running and turned around in anger.

Xiaomao immediately caught up. A thousand tentacle tips shapeshifted into blades. Then, countless swishing sounds cut through the air as Xiaomao used the sword domain technique again.

Fifty dragons in the atmosphere were sliced into ground beef, and their dantian crystals and souls were ejected from their bodies.

Xiaomao brightly smiled. He flew to the atmosphere to collect the dantian crystals.

"Thanks for the help, cat."

Suddenly, a cultivator kicked the ground and shuttled through the sky. He overtook Xiaomao and grabbed one of the souls. Then, he put it in his mouth.

"What the?!"

Xiaomao was taken aback. He stopped climbing altitude and glared at the stranger.

Upon getting a better look at the man, Xiaomao noticed that the guy was a blond-haired young man in knight armor. He also managed to catch a glimpse of his name.

James Huntsman, the Grim Reaper, Level 9,999

Xiaomao furrowed his brow. He had never seen this guy before, but he remembered that he stole some of the dragon souls and dantian crystals from him. After all those deeds, he still had the galls to steal his loot again.

"Give them to me, or I'll pry them from your dead body, munya."

Huntsman smirked. He chewed the soul orb like an apple and wiggled his hand, taunting Xiaomao.

"You? Ha! Your level is inferior to mine. What can you do? Bust my ass with your tentacles? Go ahead and try. I'll turn you into a squid BBQ."

"Oh, really?"

Xiaomao was offended. He was about to bring out the fishing rod to hook the soul out of this man. However, Mu-Nyang warned him before Xiaomao could start the fight.

'Master, that's one of the protagonists, munya. You might need him in the war against Solomon's troops.'

"Protagonist? Him?"

'Yes. He is a shameless, despicable, and ruthless type of protagonist. He is the kind who will do whatever is necessary to achieve his goal even if he has to sacrifice his allies, munya.'

"And you're telling me to befriend him of all people?!"

'We have no choice, munya. Solomon's army is too strong for you to handle alone. You need all protagonists as allies. Then, you can make quick work on him, munya. By that time, you will be an invincible sage while the other protagonists fall behind. After that, you can fight the other protagonists however you want, munya.'

"…"

Xiaomao disagreed with Mu-Nyang's advice this time. He couldn't afford to entrust his back to a rude arrogant thief.

As if Mu-Nyang could read Xiaomao's mind, he warned his master again.

'Remember about the karma I told you about? Huntsman has been consuming souls recklessly. Check his karma strings. They're pitch black.'

Being reminded of karma strings, Xiaomao took a deep breath to calm down. He circulated his chaos element essence into his eyes and appraised Huntsman's karma.

As Mu-Nyang had said, it was blacker than anything Xiaomao had seen in his life. Even the dark space was brighter than Huntsman's karma strings.

Xiaomao felt a lot better. He stared at Huntsman, waiting for him to finish the soul orb in his hand.

As if Huntsman mocked Xiaomao, he waved his hands and sucked all soul orbs and dantian crystals into his spatial ring. He snickered, "What's stopping you? I'm waiting for you to [Pry it from my dead body]."

"…"

Xiaomao snorted. Then, he glanced at Huntsman's level again.

James Huntsman, the Grim Reaper, Level 9,999 (9,990)

It slightly dropped, but it showed in a bracket. Xiaomao sneered and flew away, ignoring the rude man. He planned to search for another batch of dragons to kill and leave Huntsman alone.

Huntsman's expression changed. He followed Xiaomao and shouted, "Come back here pussy cat! What's with all the big talk and no bite? What about that bravery from before?"

"…"

Xiaomao kept quiet. He pretended that it was the noise of an annoying mosquito.

Unfortunately, Huntsman had another plan. He blinked and appeared on top of Xiaomao's head and sat on it. He brought out a pack of cigarettes and started smoking.

"Fine. You can do whatever you want. I still need the dragon souls and dantian crystals."

Xiaomao started to get angry, "Go kill them yourself. Get off my head, you lazy bum."

"I don't want to."

"GET.OFF.MY.HEAD."

Huntsman leaned over and puffed the smoke into Xiaomao's right eye. Then, he smirked, "MAKE.ME."

"…"

In anger, Xiaomao activated the sword domain and swung his tentacles.

SWUA

Xiaomao's tentacle blade cut through the void and directly sliced Huntsman's heart in half!

Huntsman vomited blood as his lungs were slashed along the way. He fell from Xiaomao's head and glared at the cat.

"Backstabbing bastard!"

Xiaomao return-glared at the falling protagonist. A tentacle turned into a whip and smacked Huntsman's face, clashing him onto the ground.

His revenge didn't end there. Xiaomao transformed into an angel and stopped time. He descended and stomped on Huntsman's chest, crushing eight of the protagonist's ribcages. Then, he stabbed Huntsman's belly with his hand, searching for the protagonist's dantian crystal.

"Fine. I'll eat your dantian crystal instead."

"BASTARD!"

Huntsman opened his mouth wide. A second later, that open mouth turned into a sneer.

"Gotchu, bitch."

"Hmm?"

Huntsman's body shone and swelled. His soul orb and dantian crystal inside his body disappeared while his spatial ring teleported to his new body. Then, the empty shell directly exploded.

BOOM

A large explosion engulfed Xiaomao's entire body, and the flame swallowed him whole. The shockwave hit everything within 3,000 kilometers range while the mushroom cloud rose to the sky.

Because of the massive shockwave blast, Zhou Yu, Caesar, Jungwoo, Bianca, Ma Moxi, and many dragons got caught in it.

Zhou Yu transformed into a phoenix and resisted the flame. Caesar dully stared at the incoming blast and vanished into his shadow. As for the rest of the people, they created a barrier domain to block the mysterious explosion just in case.

As for Xiaomao, he was immune to flame. He looked down at the soulless body under his foot.

Unfortunately, the body turned into dust, not even leaving behind a spatial ring. As if Huntsman was never here, Xiaomao couldn't find his trace.

"Did he just self-detonate on me, munya?" Xiaomao was puzzled.

Mu-Nyang spoiled it for him, 'No, munya. Huntsman has a special ability. He can instantly teleport to anywhere he has visited whenever he is near death. The explosion just now came from his domain ability – The Soul Explosion. He paid ten levels and a soul in his possession to create a soul bomb that could kill everything under his level instantly, munya. Fortunately, your true level is higher than his, so it didn't work on you.'

"…"

Xiaomao looked around him, checking the carnage that Huntsman had caused. Then, he noticed the other survivors as no tree blocked his sight anymore.

WHOOSH

Caesar emerged from his shadow. He also gazed at Xiaomao.

Zhou Yu remained in his phoenix appearance, staring at Xiaomao with a deep frown.

Ma Moxi canceled his camouflage ability and flew toward Xiaomao to regroup with him. The same with Bianca and Jungwoo, whose guardians carried them in their arms, dragging them to join Xiaomao.

WHOOSH

Huntsman reappeared a kilometer away from Xiaomao. He no longer looked injured, but his expression changed. He no longer looked as smug as before.

"Xiaomao, you coward! Come fight me like a man!"

Xiaomao heard the yell. He shouted back, "Now, you're barking? What are you, barking and no bite! Why don't you come here and get it, munya!"

"You…"

Although Huntsman was angry, he maintained his composure and suppressed his bloodlust. He snorted and ripped a scroll in his hand.

WHOOSH

Just like that, Huntsman teleported away.

Zhou Yu noticed that his ally left without saying a word. He grumbled and brought out a scroll from his spatial ring. Then, he tore it.

Following Huntsman, Zhou Yu also avoided Xiaomao.

After the two potential troublemakers had left, Mu-Nyang yelled at Xiaomao.

'What have you done, munya?! You've just sowed a hostile karma with that protagonist! Now, you're a fated rival, munya!'

"That's better. I don't like him."

'But he will definitely come back to haunt you in the future, munya. You also triggered one of his growth potential conditions. Now, his protagonist's luck will help him find a way to remove the curse, and he will be able to break through to the deity realm or sage realm to match your strength, munya!'

"…"

Xiaomao scratched his head. He wasn't used to the protagonist's clichés and terms, so he couldn't fully understand Mu-Nyang's intention. He also doubted that Huntsman could catch up to his strength as Xiaomao had the advantage of the higher realm's knowledge.

Mu-Nyang's sigh could be heard. He stopped raising his voice and complained, 'I'll contact your father. The protagonist-hunting job should be given to the pro. You should focus on farming lifespan for now, munya.'

"Okay."

Mu-Nyang finally cut his communication.

After Mu-Nyang stopped chatting, Ma Moxi, Ma Xingjuan, Jungwoo, Bianca, Mao Xueyan, Mao Dandan, Diaochan, and Eve arrived. They gathered in front of Xiaomao and greeted him.

Xiaomao threw the protagonist's matter to the back of his head. He looked at new faces and smiled at him.

"I guess introductions are in order, munya. Err, who is who again?"

.

.

While Xiaomao and the new allies got to know each other, Mu-Nyang contacted Mao Miaomiao, who was attending a private party with the politicians.

Mao Miaomiao had been chatting with the prime minister of Korea and Japan, explaining the situations in general terms so that they could understand. People gathered around him to listen.

Suddenly, Mao Miaomiao stopped speaking. He smiled at the old men and women.

"I'm sorry. I need to go to the bathroom."

One of the humans teased him, "Oh, I guess aliens still need to take the leak."

The crowd laughed, and they let Mao Miaomiao leave the hall. As for Mao Miaomiao's wives, they were still inside his dantian universe, having a private orgy party.

After Mao Miaomiao entered a toilet stall, he whispered.

"Mu-Nyang, are you okay? I thought you died for sure."

Mu-Nyang snitched, 'I'm okay, munya, but that's not the issue here. Your son is in big trouble, munya. He provoked a protagonist, and his fate is locked in a feud. I need you to kill that protagonist before their story develops any further, munya.'

"Now? We're about to go to war with Solomon. Why did he create an internal feud?"

'Your son has a short fuse like you in the past, munya. Anyway, the protagonist is James Huntsman. I've calculated his fate. He will probably switch sides and join Solomon to get a new power soon.'

"Can't Xiaomao wipe his own ass for once?"

'This case is too risky for him, munya. Xiaomao is in a delicate situation at the moment. His lifespan is very low, and he has many souls to resurrect. He's very busy, munya.'

"Aw, come on. I'm also busy." Mao Miaomiao was tired of dealing with random protagonists as he disliked calculating a protagonist's fate and future.

'You're the father, munya. Help your son.'

"Haiz. Fine. I'll be a family man again. Give me the details and the location of that idiot protagonist."

'Alright, I'll send you the details through your usual system, munya.'

DING

Instantly, a system menu appeared in front of Mao Miaomiao. It showed the portrait of James Huntsman, his class, level, and general detail.

Mao Miaomiao skimmed through the description and detail. But when he noticed the remarks and hints from Mu-Nyang, he exclaimed.

"What the fuck?! What's wrong with his growth potential?!"
