Chapter 1453: Me, Who’s Interested?
“Weng!!”
Just when everyone was still shocked upon seeing the egg in Fearless’ hands, a bright glow started emanating from it.
“What’s going on?”
At the sight of this, Fearless’ immediately tossed the egg onto the ground in shock. At this moment, an even stranger thing occurred.
Within the palace, the fire elements started to gather. This time around, not just the fire elements in the air, even the fire elements in the fire ores on the ground started to gather in abundance.
The ground and the walls of the palace started turning from a scarlet red colour into a dull black colour, at a rate visible to the naked eye. There were even some parts of it that started to collapse.
The huge amount of fire elements gathered into numerous fist-sized balls of light, before penetrating into the golden-coloured egg.
“Whoosh!”
Due to the gathering of the fire elements, a force field was formed around the exterior of the egg, pushing everyone away from it. At the same time, Wang Yu felt a terrifying aura emanating from that golden egg.
“Not good!”
After sensing the abnormalities within the egg, Wang Yu hurriedly warned everyone, “Everyone, get ready to make a run for it, something’s about to come out from the egg!”
“Kacha!”
Before Wang Yu could finish his sentence, the crystal clear sound of the eggshell shattering was heard. Following which, a wave of overbearingly mighty aura swept out from the egg, causing Wang Yu’s figure to sway slightly under the pressure.
“Bang!”
Fearless and the rest were suppressed to the point that they were forced on their knees under the pressure.
“A God Slayer? Haha!”
At this moment, a familiar lady’s voice was heard. When everyone heard the voice, their hearts panicked as they immediately raised their heads towards the direction of it, only to see a figure leisurely walking out of the flames.
The moment everyone got a clear view of who that person was, they were stunned silly. They cried out in shock, “F*ck! Nephis isn’t dead?!”
“Hahaha!” Upon hearing the shocked exclamations of everyone, Nephis covered her mouth and laughed, revealing the smile belonging to a queen. She said, “You guys actually think that you are capable of killing this empress? Seems like you underestimate me too much.”
“This... Gow is this possible?” Fearless uttered in confusion, “The system clearly said that we had defeated the BOSS and that we had cleared the dungeon, how could you still be alive?”
“Hehe!” Nephis coolly smiled and said, “That’s right, you had in fact defeated me, but that was just the seal on me. Now that the seal on me is broken, I’m finally free! Ha ha ha! Many thanks to you, little idiots!”
A smile blossomed on the face of Nephis.
“I see!”
Upon hearing what Nephis said, everyone finally understood what was happening.
It seemed like the settings on the BOSSes were similar to that of players, and would be resetted upon death.
For example, when a player was poisoned, as long as they died, the poison effect would be automatically undone. This was the same for BOSSes. Initially, Nephis was in a sealed state. After being defeated by everyone, the sealed effect was automatically undone. Thus, the current Nephis had regained her peak strength and was a LV 200 BOSS. It was no wonder that the aura released by her was so terrifying.
Luckily for them, Nephis did not seem to be in the mood to kill people. Otherwise, she wouldn’t waste her breath on these ants in front of her and would have casually destroyed them with a wave of her hand. This was the case even for someone like Wang Yu.
Thinking up till this point, everyone heaved a sigh of relief...
Of course, there was nothing they could do even if they were worried. A LV200 BOSS wasn’t an opponent that you could deal with just because you are worried.
Ming Du, at this moment, asked with a fool’s courage, “So Sister Heavenly Phoenix, are you going to give us any rewards for setting you free?”
“Rewards?” Nephis coldly glanced at Ming Du and said, “Are you dissatisfied with my staff? If that’s the case you can just return it back to me!”
“Eh...” Upon hearing this, Ming Du was immediately at a loss for words, he hurriedly added, “No such thing, no such thing! Aunty Heavenly Phoenix, I was just joking with you.”
“Tsk!” Nephis coldly snorted before adding, “There is a reward to be given...”
“What’s the reward?” Upon hearing what Nephis said, everyone immediately raised their ears in attention.
This was a God-grade BOSS, whatever rewards that she would give out would definitely be a God-grade equipment. It wouldn’t be befitting of her status to give out a Gold or Obsidian Grade equipment.
“Me, who’s interested?” Nephis coolly answered.
“...”
Upon hearing this, everyone descended into complete silence. They were all silently thinking whether this chick’s system settings were messed up.
“What? None of you fancies me?”
Upon seeing the expression on everyone’s faces, Nephis’ face immediately turned black. The overbearing aura emanating from her figure was sent out once more.
Everyone frantically said, “Big... Big Sister, you’re a god! Can you not joke about such a thing?”
“Joke? Do you think I would be bothered to play a prank on you guys?” Nephis revealed a haughty expression and said, “Let me tell you guys. What I need is someone to sign a contract with me to let me be his entourage and it must be at the consent of the player. Otherwise, I will kill all of you here on the spot. Trust me, if i refuse to let all of you leave, none of you have any chance of escaping!”
“This... What’s going on?” Everyone was stunned, none of them knew what Nephis was trying to do. Killing, scolding, tricking the players were things that BOSSes did. However, this was the first time that they saw a BOSS forcing a player to let her become the player’s entourage.
At this moment, Wang Yu came to a sudden realisation and explained, “She is only freed from the restriction on her powers and is still unable to leave the dungeon. As long as she signs a contract with a player, she would be able to do so. Don’t worry, once she leaves this place, she will have to follow your orders.”
Speaking up till this point, Wang Yu shook his head and sighed, seeming as if he thought of some unpleasant memories.
“!!!???”
“Really?”
Upon hearing what Wang Yu said, everyone simultaneously threw their gaze onto Nephis.
F*ck, this was too sly. There was a limit to the number of entourages a player could get. Forcing a player to sacrifice one of these slots, and yet still claiming it to be a reward was simply too shameless!
“Tsk!”
Nephis ruthlessly glared at Wang Yu and said, “You, how did you know?”
“It’s a long story!” Wang Yu shook his head and replied.
“??!!”
After analyzing Wang Yu for a brief moment, Nephis revealed a look of surprise and asked, “Dragon Emperor Dales is your entourage?”
“You guys know each other?” Wang Yu asked curiously.
“It’s you then.”
Clearly, Wang Yu’s question was too stupid to the point that Nephis did not bother to answer him. After all, there were only a few God-grade BOSSes in the game. Was it possible for them to not know of each other? Shortly after, Nephis pointed without a care at Wang Yu and said, “You, sign the contract with me!”
“F*ck...”
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu reluctantly replied, “Why me?”
Heck, why did all these God-grade BOSSes all like to mess with the same player, what was going on?
Nephis replied in a criticising manner, “If Dales that stinky worm can sign a contract with you, why can’t I do so as well?”
“What if he doesn’t sign it?” Fearless interrupted with a cheeky smile on his face.
“Then all of you will remain here to accompany me!” Nephis replied in rage.
“That’s fine...” Fearless cheekily replied, “Being able to live in the same building with a beauty like you is a dream come true.”
Upon seeing Fearless having the courage to banter with her, Nephis’ face turned cold instantly as she said, “Aren’t you afraid of dying?”
“I’m afraid! But there are some Gods that are even more afraid of loneliness! Don’t forget, we are all players, we can log out of the game anytime!” Fearless replied conceitedly.
Nephis was a BOSS that possessed a high AI intellect. Thus, Nephis naturally knew what Fearless’s intentions were.
“What a hateful fellow!”
Nephis hatefully glared at Fearless, before retrieving a token and tossing it over to Wang Yu and said, “You can have this! No, hurry up and sign the contract with me!”
