Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 103 – Cat Dad VS Karen

“I’m an adventurer. I don’t have a nationality. Can I leave it as blank, munya?”

Xiaomao didn’t want to reveal that he was affiliated with the Mermaid Kingdom as he was afraid of the backlashes. After all, he still needed to seek an audience with the Yuan emperor.

“It’s very necessary, sir. If we don’t know what country are you serving, planning to join, or moving into in the future, we cannot verify your guild. Guilds are official associations, and we will not approve of illegal guilds, terrorists, or shady groups without a background, sir.”

Karen’s voice got louder, and the pitch was higher. She sounded like she was about to yell at Xiaomao soon.

Xiaomao sighed. He returned the paper.

“I’ve changed my mind, munya. I won’t register a guild anymore.”

“I’m afraid you’ll have to pay for the document fee, sir,” Karen’s smile disappeared from her face.

“How much,” Xiaomao didn’t care about money anymore. He wasn’t afraid of senseless charges from the employees.

“One billion PACTs, sir!”

“That’s freaking ridiculous, munya! This is a scam!”

Xiaomao stood up on his tentacle legs. This was the first time that he was so angry at an NPC to the point that he wanted to kill somebody.

Karen sneered, “Then, please sign the paper, sir. You must fill in the form and identify your affiliation. It doesn’t hurt to write a few words, do they?”

Indeed, this woman was trying to extract his information. Xiaomao no longer trusted her. He hopped on the sword and activated the Chameleon skill.

As if Karen had expected Xiaomao’s reaction, she grabbed his face with her hand and pressed his body against the sofa. Her other hand pushed a pen against Xiaomao’s tentacle.

“Just write your name, your nationality, your religion, and everything will be okay, sir!”

“I REFUSE, MUNYA! SOMEBODY HELP!! YOUR WORKER IS THREATENING ME!!”_.

Xiaomao gritted his teeth and screamed. However, no NPC seemed to hear his voice.

Karen opened her eyes and burst into laughter, “Nobody can hear you, kitty. My Dao Domain blocks all sound from you. Nobody can even see you here!”

“YOU WENCH!”

“HAHAHAHA! This is what you get for defying Lord Nian! Go ahead, write your name on the paper!”

DING

<A faction quest has been triggered.>

.

Faction Quest: Pangu Church Apostle!

You are being targeted by one of Pangu Church’s Apostles – Nian. Karen Swan G. seemed to be working under the apostle, and she is forcing you to write your name, nationality, and religion in the application form. Although it looks silly, her actions are dubious, and the papers seemed strange.

This place is not safe anymore. Flee from Karen and don’t sign the paper at all costs!

Mission Objective: Leave Xuan Town.

Quest Reward: Unknown

Failure Condition: You sign the application form.

Failure Penalty: Unknown

[?????? Instinct]: A certain vampire might be useful in this situation. He might need her blood.

[Foresight]: Karen is not an employee of Xuan Town, and she is trying to trap your soul with a curse, hidden in the application form! DO NOT SIGN IT!

.

Skimming through the quest detail, Xiaomao was inspired. He mustered his strength and cast a spell on his cursed claws.

Static Enchantment!

The claws turned yellow as electric current gathered in the metallic claws. Xiaomao poked her wrist with the weapon. Then, he cast the newest dark element spell.

Stinger!

Did You Swear?

The tips of the claws darkened as they grazed Karen’s skin, causing shallow wounds. However, Xiaomao only dealt one damage to her.

Karen smirked, “Stop resisting, stupid cat! Your fate has been sealed-“

Suddenly, Karen felt light-headed. Her arms, face, and muscles were numb, and she couldn’t move her body.

Ding

<Karen Swan G. has been inflicted with the abnormal status [Allergy] for 60 seconds.>

<Karen Swan G. has been inflicted with the abnormal status [Paralysis] for three seconds.>

<Karen Swan G. has been inflicted with the abnormal status [You Swore Right?] for 60 seconds.>

Three seconds were what Xiaomao needed. His slimy physique slipped through Karen’s hands. He fell off the sofa and disappeared, fully using the camouflage skill to hide his presence

Three seconds quickly passed. Karen could sense her body again, and she flipped the furniture, not caring if the other employees might notice her.

“YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN’T HIDE, REGRESSOR!”

Upon flipping over the sofas, Karen found the cat, who was still hiding under the furniture. She sneered.

Karen was so absorbed in the hunt that she didn’t sense the menacing black cloud in the sky above the building. The storm got closer, and the sounds of thunder terrified the weak-willed local NPCs.

“Lord Nian is overthinking. A stupid cat can’t possibly jeopardize our grand scheme. Come, you dumb cat. You will be forever impriso-“

BANG

A lightning bolt descended, but it traveled through an open window, crossing the building from the other side, avoiding all NPCs, and struck Karen’s back.

Lightning Storm, 100% Mastery!

It had been over an hour since Xiaomao last used it on Torrent. The cooldown timer was reset, and he cast it on Karen!

BANG

BANG

BANG

A series of lightning bolts kept coming from the same pathway, repeatedly hitting her without mercy.

Big words “Critical” appeared above Karen’s head, but Xiaomao didn’t bother looking at the number. He bolted toward the exit and hopped on the flying sword.
