Chapter 298 – Cat Dad''s Minions Launches a Surprise Attack
= Yeet City, 100 kilometers south of Seaside Town =
gs of the Pangu Church on top of the city walls fluttered with the strong wind. However, the soldiers on the wall were all Pangu cultists with cold weapons. They patrolled the wall, pretending to be protecting the city.
The city had long fallen to the Pangu Church. After the church emunicated Yuan Shaoqing and the Yuan Empire, they took over all his affiliated cities and reced the garrison soldiers with their cultists.
As a result, the province-level city became the new territory of the Pangu Church. They demolished Yuan Shaoqing''s castle and built a monastery on top of it.
The yers were uninterested in provincial politics. As for the locals, half of the poption suffered from poverty as many families served the army and the empire as officials. After Yuan Shaoqing was gone, they were relieved from their duties - losing their jobs.
Because of the crisis, the local NPCs relied on yers. They begged the yers to bring them food and gold coins in exchange for Contribution EXP and their heirlooms. Thus, this city became a haven for yers of all levels as quests were easy to find there.
Many superhuman-aspiring yers worked hard as usual. They ran around, killing local beasts and donating food to poor families.
Butter Tank, Dog Eater, Alzheimer, and Cherry Popper was there as well. Because Dog Eater and Cherry Popper lost some of their items and levels in the dungeon, they recuperated here to resupply.
Aftering back from the dungeon, Butter Tank and Dog Eater thought about retirement. They admired their ount as they sold their marked runes to Yuan Shaoqing for two million PACTs. After the split, the two of them had a million in their ount, which was worth 40 million USD.
Both man didn''t tell Dog Eater and Cherry Popper. For more shares, they kept the secret to themselves.
After the group got all of their supplies and new equipment, they gathered in a bar to discuss their future in private. They picked the secluded table and huddled to talk in a low voice.
"What''s next, boss? The global event is probably impossible for us."
Butter Tank nced at Alzheimer. Thetter nodded at him. Seeing that Alzheimer understood his gesture, Butter revealed his intention.
"I''m thinking of disbanding the guild."
"BOSS, WHAT?! What about the noble peerage andnds?!" Dog eximed.
"What about our revenge?! Do you know what kind of nightmare I had been through when I died?!" Cherry still remembered the PTSD-inducing death when she was torn into pieces.
Butter coughed, "I''ve decided that I''m not suitable to be a guild leader. I led you to your death. This is a tarnish to my reputation, so I''ll resign from my posts to take responsibility for my ipetency. You guys can select a new guild leader among yourselves."
Alzheimer grinned as if he had been waiting for this opportunity, "Don''t vote for me. Let me stay as a backup member behind the scene. I don''t like politics."
"…"
Cherry and Dog Eater were speechless. The resignation came out of nowhere, and they weren''t prepared for the changes.
"Boss, are you sure? You know that only guild leaders are eligible to attain a noble rank, right?"
"Wrong. Any yer can be a noble as long as their Contribution Level is high enough!" Butter coughed and pretended to confess, "I talked to Emperor Yuan Shaoqing. He said that he could make an exception for us if we abandon the Pangu Church Faction and join his empire. Hecks nobles and officials at the moment."
"R-Really?"
Dog Eater and Cherry Popper were excited. But when they remembered the guild buff and the deity sponsors, they hesitated.
"But boss, the guild buffs will be gone if we join the Yuan Empire…"
"That''s why I''m quitting. I''ll be leaving the guild as well so that I can freely join the Yuan Empire. I''ll be the only one to lose my guild buff!"
"Boss, you…"
"Say no more. I''ve made up my mind."
The group nodded, respecting Butter Tank''s decision. On the other hand, Alzheimer inwardlyughed as he knew why Butter Tank wanted to quit the guild.
"GEH!"
Suddenly, a yer who had been sitting at the table next to them uttered out loud while he stared at the group. He was alone, but his eyes looked strangely glossy.
Dog Eater, Alzheimer, and Butter Tank turned around and red at the yer.<novelnext></novelnext>
The yer didn''t stop. He sneered at them and repeated his word.
"Quitting the guild? GEH!"
Butter Tank was offended. He stood up and walked toward the yer, "You''ve got a problem?"
The yer chuckled. He sized up Butter Tank and stood up, staring into Butter Tank''s eyes. He slowly moved his mouth and quietly muttered.
"G.E.H."
"…"
Butter Tank couldn''t hold it in anymore. He threw a sucker punch at the yer.
BAM
His right hook smacked the yer''s jaw, but he didn''t flinch. A number appeared, showing the damage that Butter Tank had inflicted.
1 Damage!
Butter Tank frowned and stared at his right fist. He was still wearing te armor, and his steel gauntlet should have offered some hand-to-hand damage. However, the DEF stat of this yer was too high.
The yerughed. He grabbed the right wrist of Butter Tank and smirked.
"GEH Punch! My turn!"
As soon as he said that, his fingers dug into Butter Tank''s skin. Then, he pulled it out!
SWUA!
Ayer of the entire Butter Tank''s body skin came out, including his equipped armor!
Butter Tank lost 99% of his HP on the spot. He was still alive, but the pain and the shock made him scream in desperation.
"AAAAAHHHH!!"
Themotion caught the attention of the other yers and the local NPCs in the bar. When the people saw the state of Butter Tank, female NPCs and weak-hearted yers screamed as well.
"WHAT THE HELL?!"
While many people were in shock, several yers with glossy eyes smirked and grabbed the nearest person''s arms, neck, or chest. Then, they did the same as their colleague did to Butter Tank.
A dozen people got their skin stolen!
When the people in the bar screamed in unison, all yers finally sensed that something was wrong around here. They rushed out of the bar to call for the local guards to deal with the ouws.
But what happened next shocked everybody. The assants vertically split in half, revealing a thousand small fangs and sharp teeth. They devoured the skinless victims and ate them alive!
In addition, the names of these creatures were revealed. Their red name shed.
Pretty Skin, Level (???)
None of the yers could see their level due to the level gap. Cherry Popper, Alzheimer, and Dog Eater leaped away from the monster and scrambled toward the bar''s exit.
They got out unharmed, but their guild leader was killed.
The group of yers panted and looked around. Several gamers and local NPCs also gathered in front of the bar in shock and panic.
Unfortunately, the incident was just the beginning. As if themotion in the bar was the trigger, the other ces in Yeet City were thrown into chaos as well.
Behind Chery Popper, a female yer suddenly touched a male gamer''s chest. Like what Butter Tank had experienced, she deskinned and stripped the guy. Then, she proceeded to eat the victim.
A hundred people on the street also did the same. Like a zombie apocalypse, the disguising monstersunched their attacks in unison!
