Chapter 66: Act 6: Joys and Sorrows Are Not Interconnected

A werewolf? Piece of cake.

Only a few moves: pounce, bite, tackle. Oh, and a Moonlight Worm, but this guy didn’t even have a Moonlight Worm.

Ripper casually took out his Surgical Blade. Before he even looked up, he felt a vicious wind striking. The player’s muscle instinct made him violently lean back, and claws radiating Silver light slashed across the position where his neck used to be.

Cold sweat broke out on everyone’s backs.

Romeo, without any warning, had appeared in front of Ripper like teleportation and launched an attack aiming at his vital points.

"[Summon: Giant Bear A]!"

Greenland immediately summoned the zombie giant bear and made it let out an aggro-drawing roar. Romeo instantly switched his attack target—but not to the zombie giant bear. Instead, he lunged at Scary Clown, who was currently blowing up a balloon.

Romeo was like the incarnation of wildness, an apex predator, opening his bloody maw and biting down.

Scary Clown immediately blew up the Joker balloon in his hand. The balloon grew larger, but Scary Clown shrank until he disappeared.

BANG—

Romeo popped the Joker balloon, and a yellow, pungent smell spread out. With his sharp sense of smell, Romeo immediately howled and darted out of the yellow gas range. A hand appeared out of nowhere, snapped its fingers, and a Spark jumped into the gas.

BOOM—

A scorching flower bloomed in the center of the Moon God Altar. Fierce fire snakes chased the yellow gas all the way, biting onto Romeo, and a second Spark bloomed.

"[Flint Gloves] and [Sulfur Gas], you didn’t just blow him to death directly, did you?" Greenland’s eyes twitched. The methods of these friends of hers were truly more ruthless than the last.

"Didn’t we say we needed to let him gain Skills? The easiest ones to get are Resistance Skills." A wisp of Sulfur Gas condensed into Scary Clown beside everyone.

HOWL—

Romeo roared in the Flames, and the expressions of the Six Vice Group took on a hint of solemnity. It wasn’t that no damage was dealt, but rather that the damage was too high. Romeo’s health bar was dropping at an extremely fast rate.

If a single Skill was enough to do this much, then this quest was truly a bit difficult.

Blaze’s expression actually relaxed a bit. If Romeo was a little weaker, purifying the Filthy Blood would be easier.

When Romeo’s Life Value dropped below one-third, the environment of the Moon God Altar suddenly became hazy. The stalactite Stone Forest outside the crevice above the altar emitted a faint light under the Sunshine.

The soft, non-glaring light danced gracefully and briskly down the crevice into the Moon God Altar, arriving beside Romeo, who was struggling in the Flames.

A fiercer explosion occurred within the blooming Sparks, and a bright Silver light dispelled the Flames. The Silver werewolf slowly stood up, the wounds on his body regenerating at high speed under the light.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Romeo, having completed his regeneration, seemed to have become even more massive.

"Don’t werewolves only have Regeneration Abilities under the moonlight?!" Blaze was startled.

Greenland narrowed her eyes and looked up. Seeing the sparkling stalactite Stone Forest reflecting the Sunshine, she suddenly realized what was going on.

"Moonlight is inherently the product of the Moon reflecting Sunshine... I see. Those reflective stone pillars act as the Moon, specifically designed to give this werewolf high-speed Regeneration Abilities even during daytime challenges."

"Wow, the devs are way too considerate. We can hit as hard as we want now." Scary Clown, who had almost blown Romeo to death with a balloon, laughed out loud on the spot, and the rest of the Six Vice Group also showed relaxed smiles.

But Blaze’s expression became serious instead. Romeo possessing such terrifying restorative power meant that he was always at the peak of his physical strength, and the process of purifying the Filthy Blood would have many variables.

Of course, what gave him the biggest headache was the Foreigners’ grinning faces.

When he thought the situation was favorable, the Foreigners acted as if facing a formidable enemy. When he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, the Foreigners felt relaxed.

As expected, the Foreigners’ joys and sorrows were not in sync with his.

No longer worrying about one-shotting Romeo with a single Skill, the Six Vice Group began to flex their muscles without any restraint.

Ripper was the first to charge forward, easily dodging Romeo’s chaotic and disorganized claw attacks. The specially made Surgical Blade-shaped dagger in his hand accurately pierced into the muscles beneath Romeo’s fur.

The bright Silver light leaped ethereally like a Fairy. The blood, unwilling to be left out, jumped from the smooth cut and danced with the Silver light in the air.

"I’ll teach you to sneak a Pear before surgery!" Ripper cursed loudly while elegantly slicing Romeo with his Surgical Blade.

"This guy was supposed to perform surgery yesterday, but his patient sneaked food against medical advice."

Greenland warmed up her body. After Romeo’s health bar dropped to one-third again and the moonlight began to restore him, she stepped up to tag Ripper out.

"F*ck underage refunds!"

As a Summoner, specifically a Death Druid, Greenland took out a massive hammer weapon and smashed Romeo, making the bones all over his body CRACK.

Blaze looked at the few people around him. Each was expressionless, looking as if they too had something to vent about when it was their turn.

He had heard that although the Foreigners were free and powerful here, they weren’t always so fortunate in their own homelands, sometimes even living rather...

Blaze decided to be more tolerant of Foreigners in the future, even Vice Aliens.

Every member of the Six Vice Group possessed unique ultimate abilities, utilizing their limited Skills and stats to pull off incredibly dazzling combat scenes despite their low Levels.

After each person tagged out, they would rapidly switch their gear and change their combat style.

Cannibal swung a huge Slaughter Blade and a bone-breaking club. The Slaughter Blade left deep, bone-exposing gashes on Romeo’s body, while the club easily shattered the hard wolf bones.

Electric Saw Demon displayed unbelievable violence. He attacked with a mysterious iron block that spewed steam; just a mere touch battered Romeo into a bloody pulp.

Claire, who had the largest build among the six, stood motionless in place. Clutched against her chest, a dilapidated teddy bear that looked as if it were about to be torn in half let out a shrill laugh.

Hearing the laughter, Romeo immediately covered his ears in agony. From the Shadows beneath his feet, bizarre tentacles squirmed and shot out, whipping him.

When Scary Clown took the field and once again plunged Romeo into a sea of fire using explosive gas, the previously relaxed expressions of the Six Vice Group gradually grew solemn.

The moonlight did not descend.

Was Romeo dead?

No. The burning Flames danced rhythmically, like the strong, powerful heartbeat of some giant creature.

WHOOSH—

Accompanied by a massive breathing sound, the Flames were cleaved down the middle, and a gigantic werewolf, shining with a dark Silver light, slowly stood up.

The beautiful and divine Silver fur was tainted by foul gloom. Those Silver eyes held nothing but bloodlust and wildness, and putrid saliva constantly dripped from his ferocious fangs.

[Wolfman Level 16]

[Dual Personality F]

Romeo had undergone Werewolf Transformation.

Blaze exhaled and took out the Silver Needle from his inventory.

"The second phase has begun."
