Soul Fusion Online
chapter-40

"Oh! KillerT! You seem so excited! Don't worry, I will let you kill it. I know how much you want to make his wife submit!" Yuki yelled as she ran right by him and darted behind a bunch of bushes in between some trees.

"You! Ahhh!" KillerT seemed to be losing it. In all the games he has ever played and all the hell he has raised, he has never run into someone who was so shameless in his entire life! He wanted to tear Yuki apart, but he couldn't because the damn bird was already attacking him and his people!

"Caaaww!!!" The killing intent towards Yuki faded away as the Sky King turned its attention to KillerT. Yuki watched in amazement as the Sky King gulped down one of his friends in an instant.

"It can really do that!?" Yuki exclaimed. She never thought monsters could actually eat people in this game! She, of course, would not let this opportunity to take a jab at KillerT slip by. "Oh! Look at that. Who would have thought KillerT was so generous to give a FINAL meal to the overgrown chicken... Ahh, excuse me, I only called you overgrown chicken because KillerT says it all the time about how he is going to roast you and add some seasoning to you then after he has finished gnawing on your bones, he would ride your wife for days on end. I have no idea why he is so fixated on your wife, but he seems to want to take her away and ride her hard no matter what."

Yuki's instigation and suggestive words caused the Sky King's anger to reach its peak and suddenly release its ultimate attack. It flew up off the ground and hovered slightly in the air. With a flap of its wings, a gust of wind rose up when suddenly 5 blades of wind shot forward at lightning speed right at KillerT and his friends. KillerT was already in the process of jumping out of the way, but his four remaining friends were not as lucky as they were split in two.

"Ew…" Chi frowned and lowered her eyes, not wanting to look at the sight before her. This game was very realistic in everything that included the gory graphics as well.

Yuki, on the other hand, giggled as she said: "That looked like it hurt..." A flash of light streaked across her eyes. She looked down at Chi, who was still in her arms, and smiled as she put her down. "Stay here. I need to go get some free loot."

"Huh? Okay!?" Chi was confused. She watched as Ryu pulled Nergal off the top of his head and handed it to her before saying: "Nergal, protect Chi for me."

"Meow!" Nergal let out a cry and curled up in Chi's arms.

Yuki kept her body low and roamed around the outer edge of the battlefield. She watched as KillerT was struggling to fight off the Sky King. Any time he tried to run away, the Sky King would toss a wind blade in front of him, blocking his path. Her objective was to get the last hit as KillerT was about to die, take the loot bag and make a run for it. She was not sure if this would be possible, but she did not want to leave empty handed after KillerT had tried to harm Chi.

She snuck over to the closest bush and waited. The Sky King seemed to just be playing with KillerT and seemed to be highly enjoying it. Instead of going for the instant kill, it was slowly whittling down KillerT's Health. When she saw that KillerT was just bout to kick the bucket, Yuki acted.

With sword drawn, Yuki rushed forward. She was only a few meters away, so shortening the distance between the two was quite easy. She ran right up behind KIllerT and whispered right into his ear: "The next time you try to PK someone, make sure you understand who you are messing with."

KillerT's eyes went wide as he felt a sharp pain in his back. He did not even look behind him. He could only look down to see a sword sticking through his chest where his heart was. Yuki pulled the sword out and caught the pouch that spawned mid air and quickly emptied it before tossing it on the ground. She then looked at the Sky King and saluted it. "Good job, friend! We kept this fiend from sullying your wife! I wish you luck!"

With that, she turned and ran back into the tree line leaving behind a confused Sky King who looked at the man who was now collapsed on the ground. After a few minutes, it finally dawned on the Sky King that it had been used by a damn human! "Caaaaaawww!!!!!" It let out a cry so loud it echoed throughout the entire forest. It then gave chase after Yuki.

"What really!? Why is it chasing me!? Did we not become besties just now!?"Yuki could only curse her luck as she quickly made her way back to Chi, scooping her up along with Nergal, who was in Chi's embrace. "What!? Ryu, what is going on!?"

"I only thanked the Sky King, but it seemed to think I was mocking it, and now it is chasing us again! We need to find a place to hide!" Yuki looked around, but all she could see were trees and bushes. Thinking she was out of options, she finally spotted a large tree trunk that was snapped in half. Seeing how that was her only option, Yuki sprinted towards it, ran up its side and into the hollowed out center of the tree trunk.

But who would know that as soon as she landed at the bottom, instead of a dark musty tree trunk, that her surroundings would change, and she would find herself in a dried up desert? "Where are we?" Yuki asked as she looked around. She could only see endless desert and a mountain range further away.

"Ryu, I think this is a mystic realm." Chi answered. She had done some research on the game to understand it better, and this was one of the things she found out. Mystic realms were Soul Fusion Online's special kind of dungeons.

The main difference is that items inside, once found and plundered, they will never respawn again. So a mystic realm can be stripped clean of all its treasure, and the next person to go inside would find nothing. That is until the end of the month when fully conquered mystic realms are destroyed. There were also regular dungeons as well, but mystic realms held rare treasures you could not find in the world or regular dungeons. They were created by ancient masters who created these spaces to hold their inheritances or just to keep their items safe.

Yuki looked around and seemed a little less impressed than Chi was. This was because the entire place looked like a wasteland without a single sign of life. But as she was about to try to figure out how to return. She spotted something glimmering on one of the mountain peaks off in the distance that drew her attention. "Seems to be something on the mountain peak. Let's go take a look."

"Mmm… But Ryu… How long do you plan to hold me like this?" Chi's face was flushed red. She had been in Ryu's embrace the entire time.

Yuki looked down at Chi, and a grin appeared on her face as she lowered it closer to Chi's. When she saw Chi's face become even redder than before, she whispered: "How long do you wish for me to hold you?"

"I…" Chi blanked out and basically forgot how to form words as she stared at Ryu with her mouth opening and closing. It was only when Ryu began laughing that she realized that Ryu was actually teasing her! "Ryu, you meany!"
