"Really!?" No One hurriedly dodged the Clone's attacks.
"Really! Trust me!" Snow Moon said as she cast a spell.
He didn't know how Snow Moon knew, but there was no time to ask for that now.
However, if they left now, the mother and child would surely die by the hands of the Clone.
Snow Moon finished casting her spell.
[Summon: Wrecking Willow]
A gigantic willow tree sprouted right beside the Clone, constantly attacking it.
For a moment, the Clone's hatred shifted to the tree. With a single swipe of its claws, the tree split in two.
"With just one strike...!" Snow Moon gasped.
The Wrecking Willow was a summoned entity meant to tank hits instead of the Divine Druid, yet it was destroyed with a single attack.
The Clone's damage was on par with a Boss!
No One gritted his teeth.
"Snow Moon, for the last time, are you sure this blessing has no time limit!?"
"Yes! I can't explain why, but trust me!" Snow Moon shouted as she continued her chant.
She couldn't reveal that she was a DMG employee.
No One nodded.
He opened the friends interface.
The Clone noticed the name appearing on the friends list.
"Calling your master for help again?"
"It's useless."
Once again, its claws slashed forward.
Snow Moon hurriedly created a Tree of Life between the two of them to absorb the damage.
"Hmph."
"Snow Moon! Give me some time! I have a way to defeat it!"
Snow Moon was taken aback.
Could it really be possible?
"Hurry up!" She once again activated the vines to restrain the Clone.
For some reason, she believed him.
Players are experts at finding glitches, after all.
At this moment, Snow Moon used all the control skills of the Divine Druid on the Clone.
Since it was a regular monster, the control skills were still quite effective.
In the brief seconds she had, she glanced over to see what No One was doing.
"Hello!!! Can you hear me? Hello!!!!"
"Damn it, answer the call already!!!"
Snow Moon froze in shock.
Did you ask me to buy time just so you could make a phone call?
Don't tell me you're calling customer support to report a bug, right?
The customer support sisters will definitely be mad at me!
"No One! What are you doing!? This is not the time for calls!"
"This call is important!""If I can't get through the call, we can't defeat it!"
"If you're calling customer support, I'll sacrifice you alive!!!"
Finally, someone answered on the other end of the line.
Snow Moon couldn't hear what he was saying due to the Clone's howling noise.
At this moment, it broke free and charged at her.
No One managed to dash in and stab it in the back, regaining its aggro.
"I've made the call. Your time to die is coming, buddy."
The Clone turned around to attack him.
He dodged in time.
The attack of this common monster was not too difficult to predict, so avoiding it wasn't as challenging as with usual Boss fights.
No One could afford to drag out time.
The Clone paused to look at both of them.
"You pesky nuisances."
Snow Moon was sweating as she looked at the Clone.
If Unholda Kaiser were here, they wouldn't last a second.
This Clone was just an underling blessed by him.
By receiving Unholda Kaiser's power, it gradually turned mad and gained a fraction of his abilities based on its compatibility.
This particular clone was likely at a lower level.
However, its ability to deal damage and remain immortal was still intact.
Ideally, during that event, players could meet an Event NPC to receive the Hero's blessing for 30 minutes.
Then they could use the blessed weapon to eliminate these clones.
.
.
.
Sword of Love was at the antique shop.
Normally, he'd go to sleep in the early morning and stay up late, but No One suddenly called him.
So now, he had to look after the shop.
The shop had always been slow with business; dozing off a bit shouldn't be an issue, right?
Sword of Love lazily rested his head on the table and fell asleep.
.
.
.
No One was fighting while keeping the interface open to his friend list.
Finally, when a name lit up as online, he was overjoyed.
"Got it!"
A flash of light appeared right next to No One.
[You have invited Hana to teleport to your location.]
"The savior's here!!!"
Hana appeared, and it was clearly that she had activated a spell.
No One had gone through the trouble of calling in the game to reach Sword of Love.
He asked him to tell Hana to get online immediately just to activate this skill.
No One himself didn't have Hana's contact information.
Hana had been looking after the shop when Sword of Love called her to join the game, so she jump in the gaming pod while still wearing her store's uniform.
"You're just a regular monster, you jerk."
[Hymn of Farewell ]
A divine light enveloped the Clone's body.
It screamed helplessly."No. It can't be?"
"How could it be?"
"No!!!!"
A divine sound echoed.
The Clone suddenly turned into fine dust, which was blown away by the wind.
Snow Moon couldn't believe what had just happened.
Was it the Hymn of Farewell?
[Instantly eliminates regular monsters with health below 30%. Instantly heals teammates with health below 50% to 50%.]
Was this No One's plan?
So it's possible to defeat someone with the Demon King's Blessing this way.
It doesn't work on Elite or Boss monsters, but regular monsters can indeed be killed.
"Well done, Hana." No One extended his hand to high-five Hana.
He deliberately lowered his hand so that Hana could reach it.
Snow Moon felt a bit annoyed.
So you purposely raised your hand so I had to jump?
"And you, well done too. Thank you." No One happily looked over at Snow Moon.
Snow Moon sighed.
Suddenly, all three of them received a notification.
[Fortuitous Encounter Completed: Heartbreak]
[Reward: Essence of the Demon King Clone]
[Demon King Essence]
[Demon King Reemergence Event Item. Its current use is unknown.]Snow Moon looked at the item that had dropped.
Too early... Is it really too early?
This item was supposed to appear during the Demon King Reemergence Event around next month.
According to the Main Storyline, after the Tomb of The Immortal Blade is defeated, City of Azure Flames becomes Qiu Yu City.
This stirs those who wish for the appearance of White Night.
The Demon King in the Extreme West will reemerge, sending countless clones across the continent. Players will have to hunt these types of monsters to collect the Essence of the Demon King Clone.
Once the required amount is gathered, it can be exchanged with the Event NPC for Demon King Essence. It blesses weapons similar to the Essence of Solmist.
Of course, Snow Moon denied knowing what this item was used for.
The three of them temporarily stored the item in their inventory.
No One start telling Hana what had just happened.
Then the group headed to the square, where the boy and his mother were sitting on a stone bench.
As soon as the boy saw No One, he ran over to hug him, crying and thanking him.
The mother also quickly came over to express her gratitude.
"So, do you know why that person attacked you two?"
"Honestly, no... We're just a mother and child, beggars in Aeterfloris, we haven't even stepped outside the city, so we couldn't have offended anyone." The mother shook her head.
No One remained silent.
It really is quite strange.
The Clone said one thing.
"For the greater good."
What is really going on?
No One opened the friend interface and temporarily added the mother and child as friends.
Just in case something happens, he would know early on.
This could be some kind of side quest.
After finishing up, the group logged out.
It was already dark. No One was really sleepy.
As soon as he left the gaming pod, he jumped straight into bed and fell asleep.
First World was becoming more and more unpredictable.
Who knows what will happen next?
