MMORPG: Rise of the Peerless Pumpkinmancer

Chapter 121: Pressed For Time (22)

Jack's face especially lit up as he grabbed the loot off the Boss.

Hell the fuck yeah!

Now that he had both the rare Fox Fur Cloak and the rare Shadowy Belt, it unlocked a synergy passive.

[Armor Type] Leather

[Attribute] +3 AGI

[Trait] + Shadow Affinity

[Passive] Shadow Guardian (Synergy)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Shadow guardian made it so there would be a hidden guardian resting in one's shadow. It would come out in a time of need and save its user from death once daily. This was so fucking nice, especially given his current situation.

But would they stop right now and then? Nope! It was time for another dungeon!

[Entered Dimensional Dungeon Wolf Den!]

[Difficulty = Hellish]

"We're fucking back!" Jack happily shouted.

"Woo!"

"How confident are you in killing that Remus fellow?"

"Woo?!" (Unsure.)

"Hehe, you're my pet. You can't go cowering because of one guy." Jack gently said.

He appeared so calm and peaceful, even with the wolf howls that were coming closer and closer.

— Howl! —

"Woo?!" (Perplexed!)

"Oh no, we're not running this time. This is our motherfucking redemption arc!" Jack declared with gusto. "I'll block the cave entrance, and you rain fire upon them."

"Woo!" (Motivated!)

There had been no way for them to fight 20 wolves the first time around. Even if he could pull a 300 on them, they would just be able to rotate and regenerate their HP, slowly cornering them.

But now, everything was different. Regen? What's that! Jack planted his feet solidly at the cave entrance and got ready to hold the fucking line no matter what.

The 20 wolves quickly charged, but only two at a time could fight him. They relentlessly attacked him, but so what? He blocked everything!

-2

"Hehe, let there be fire!" Jack uttered.

"Woo!" (Let these evil sinners be turned into delicious food that will fill our bellies— or something similar)

The wolves jumped in fright as a flaming chicken dropped on them, igniting their fur. Never had they encountered anything like that before. They yelped in fright and confusion while the human and wolf cackled madly.

"Burn baby burn, hahaha!"

"Woo!" (Hehehe!)

After a few seconds, the 20 wolf pack decisively turned tail and ran away. Goddamn, these two weren't food. They were monsters! Their primal instinct told them that these guys were hella dangerous!

The two even began giggling as they saw their foes escape.

"Why are you running?! We're just helping you get rid of fleas! Well, that along with skin, flesh, and bones, haha!"

"Woo!" (Sneering!)

These wolves were so big yet so cowardly! Talk about ridiculous! The dumb things should have just submitted to its master. It would have made them stronger.

[Title ゴゴゴゴ Menacing! Leveled up! Even more menacing!]

"….Thanks, I guess?"

Whatever, it was time for them to complete the dungeon! The two of them used their usual strategy, bullying the mini-boss with numbers and finally reaching the Boss.

Everything would rest on whether Moon Moon could 1 v 1 one of the bosses. Jack was crossing his fingers with hope.

The fight began with Moon Moon drinking lots of milk to grow big and strong. Usually, this was just BS parents told their kids, but in this case, it was true.

Moon Moon waited for the bosses to spawn to activate its combat mode, but the two began grinning as it did.

The milk buff stacked with the combat mode! Hell, Moon Moon probably had more stats than even Jack at this moment. It was insanely perverse!

One thing was even more perverse, and that was its fighting style. Even while it had the physical superiority, Moon Moon still opted for a hit-and-run cheese tactic out of habit.

Remus the Mighty was going crazy. What the fuck was wrong with this wolf?! Why wouldn't it just fight it?! This didn't make any sense!

It felt as bad as a man getting tempted by an incredibly beautiful vixen without ever being able to touch her. It wanted nothing more than to bite into that tender-looking flesh, but it was always a beat too late.

Then there was the fire. Moon Moon really loved that burn effect, to their enemies' despair. But what could they do?

The two finally kicked the bucket, looking a bit like charcoal. Yes, both of them. Jack, too was enjoying his new Fire Manipulation skill a LOT!

As their enemies lay defeated, the two happily looted.

This new pauldron complemented the loot armguards the mini-boss had dropped. The Hellish gear gave wonderful abilities!

[Active] Wolf Blessing (Synergy) /day

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The wolf blessing would increase both recovery and damage for 10 minutes. It reminded him of the milk from the wolf boss. It was a well-rounded buff that would be pretty useful to all classes.

That's how the two happily left the dungeon, feeling an incredible sense of accomplishment.

[ Completed Wolf Den Hellish! ]

[ Completed all dungeons at Hellish! ]

[ Acquired Title: Hellish Tutorial Completionist! ]

[ Congratulation! Acquired 5 Stat points as a reward! ]

Oh, this was fucking great! This was almost two levels up! This was why completing the harder stuff was worth it in Infinite. While it wouldn't do much on its own, it would stack if one completed more of such feats!

But then he suddenly noticed a problem. There was something missing! Was he only getting a reward for completion?

"Oy, system. I think you forgot about a reward. Think about it. Completing hellish is easy, but soloing it is way harder! Shouldn't this warrant a reward of some kind?!" In his past life, solo completions had been great for that.

[Analysing.]

[Analyzing]

[Analayzing]

"Hey, there's no need to write it all for me. Just analyze silently!" Jack complained, with the system shutting up. But just as he was patiently waiting, he received a message:

- CPR Dude: Boss, something is happening! About 60 players are heading to the forest. They're looking to kill you but don't worry. We'll intercept them!

- Jack'O: You know what? Let them through. Let me have some fun. ^_^v

- CPR Dudel: Oh god! Alright!

Jack smiled to himself before glancing at Moon Moon.

"Some fools want to challenge us. Are you ready to rain death upon them?"

"Woo!"

He had to leave a legacy behind if he was to leave soon, right? This would be hella fun!…
