Venomancer Of Gaming

Chapter 49: Virus

Desperate times called for desperate measures. Since Fatty was fighting the Boss with Night Blood Phoenix, everyone would know that the two of them were in the same party. Was it possible for the Death Knight player to avoid Night Blood Phoenix and cause trouble to Fatty?

Fatty was fully aware of this. Although he felt pain in his balls, he had nothing to worry about. After all, he knew that since a player like Night Blood Phoenix had said he would deal with it, the players from the Owl Wolf Guild would definitely have no way out…

Sure enough, when Night Blood Phoenix heard that, he said with a frown, “That’s my friend. Do you guys have a problem with that?”

Upon hearing that, the players from the Owl Wolf Guild were stunned. They had run here to teach that bastard Venomancer a lesson. However, they hadn’t expected that Boss Night Blood would say that was his friend!

If they provoked Boss Night Blood’s friend, it would be akin to provoking him!

Fatty didn’t know about Night Blood Phoenix’s true past achievements, but this group of internal members of the Owl Wolf Guild knew that better than anyone else. Before the Chaotic Era was launched, there had always been a guild in various online games: the Chaotic Night! This guild could be considered the well-deserved first guild of all games and had stirred up trouble in the game at the time. In the past ten years, no guild had been able to compete against it. One of the founders of the Chaotic Night Guild was Night Blood Phoenix!

The founders of the Night Blood Guild were Night Blood Phoenix and Chaotic Smoke. The name of the guild had been formed from both their IDs. Although Chaotic Smoke was the Guild Master on the surface, Night Blood Phoenix was the true top member of the guild. He had a high reputation that nobody could compete with.

The group of players from the Owl Wolf Guild knew very well that Guild Master Red Wolf was just an internal Elite player of the Chaotic Night Guild. For some reason, the guild had fallen apart and Red Wolf had gone solo, hence creating the Owl Wolf Guild.

If they were to meet, Red Wolf would probably have to address Night Blood Phoenix as his boss…

Nobody knew why the top guild had fallen apart at the time. However, this group of players from the Owl Wolf Guild knew that they could not afford to provoke Night Blood Phoenix. Even though the Chaotic Night Guild no longer existed, Night Blood Phoenix’s reputation had never been lost. The reputation he had accumulated during his tenure as the Deputy Guild Master of the Chaotic Night Guild was enough for him to gather tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of players that would side with him if he just greeted them!

This reason alone was enough!

Therefore, upon finding out that the person in front of them was actually Night Blood Phoenix, the group of players from the Owl Wolf Guild did not utter a word. Even though Fatty, the culprit who had caused them a Total Party Kill, was just 100 yards in front of them, they could not pluck up their courage to cause him trouble.

When he saw this group of players standing still without knowing what to do, Night Blood Phoenix did not give them a hard time. He just waved his hand and said, “You guys should leave. Since we have encountered this Boss, we can only be unfair to you guys!”

“No worries!” A few players from the Owl Wolf Guild hurriedly waved their hands and said, “Boss Night Blood, you guys go ahead and kill it. We’ll leave first!”

While they said that, they slowly stepped back bit by bit. After they retreated to a certain distance, the five of them turned around in unison and ran even faster than they had run there…

All along, Fatty had only known the name of one player of their party. It was the Dark Hunter who had attacked him. Fatty couldn’t help but sigh. A walk-on was a walk-on…

Of course, Fatty was very surprised that Night Blood Phoenix had relied on his reputation to make the other party retreat. He had initially thought that Night Blood Phoenix was a very awesome person, but he hadn’t expected that his awesomeness would exceed his imagination…

According to Fatty’s memory, Night Blood Phoenix’s name had probably appeared in the ‘war of hundreds of guilds’ in the Chaotic Era. At the time, he had only learned what had happened through a large number of posts on the official forum. Although he had already met face-to-face with Night Blood Phoenix, he’d only had a ‘spendthrift’ impression of Night Blood Phoenix. After all, after the game had been launched for a few hours, someone had bought his items for 40 Silver Coins. Wasn’t that man a spendthrift?

However, when Fatty saw the aura shown by Night Blood Phoenix while facing the group of players, he knew that he might really have underestimated the power of Night Blood Phoenix…

After sending away that group of players with just a few words, Night Blood Phoenix turned around and told Fatty with a smile, “This group of players was the one you snatched the Boss from, right? This is strange. Since their party is well-formed, how did you snatch the Boss from them and cause them a Total Party Kill?”

“This… This…” Fatty couldn’t explain. What was he going to say? Was he going to say that he had only used the Poison Sting and nothing else had concerned him because they had caused that?

If he was Night Blood Phoenix, he was afraid that he wouldn’t believe such a story. The situation at the time was really hard to describe clearly…

Therefore, Fatty hummed and hawed, not knowing where to start. However, Night Blood Phoenix thought that Fatty was unwilling to tell him. Although he had doubts, he only smiled slightly and told Fatty, “Forget it. We should continue fighting the Boss. My younger sister has a hard time drawing away the monster. In a while, she’s going to flip out on me…”

Fatty was relieved. After Night Stroll pulled the Elite back again, he saw Night Stroll smile at him.

Am I very handsome? Why are you giving me a gay look?

If Night Stroll had known what Fatty was thinking, he would probably have vomited blood. He had only wanted to cooperate with Night Blood Phoenix and show his friendliness to Fatty. Who knew that Fatty would misunderstand?

After the low-health Elite was killed, only the Quagmire Boss was left. Night Sweetie drew the Boss back and Night Blood Phoenix took over. Fatty was clearly relieved upon seeing this pretty Thief girl.

“It’s really not an easy job!” Night Sweetie told Fatty. “I already feel that it’s really troublesome to draw away one monster, yet you actually drew away three of them! It looks like my brother was right. You’re indeed an expert. Let’s get to know each other. I’m Night Sweetie, a Level 20 Thief. Would you sell me the items I can use? I heard from my brother that you’re a professional player.”

Upon hearing that, Fatty’s first impression was that she was a pretty, entertaining girl!

As for the two of them saying that he was a professional player, Fatty begged to differ. Although he knew that they considered a professional player the kind of player who specialized in making a living out of gaming, Fatty knew that it was harder for a professional player with a commercial goal to do well in a game like the Chaotic Era.

There was only one reason for that. The monsters in the game did not drop equipment directly, but the players could forge it in the form of dropped blueprints. This fundamentally controlled the way that professional players farmed equipment, and the money in the game was not easily obtained either.

Fatty was no professional player. Even if he was, it would probably be hard for him to obtain any good equipment. Night Sweetie would probably have to be disappointed.

The speed reduction effect of the Quagmire Boss was a disgusting ability if it was used on a range class. However, for a main tank like Night Blood Phoenix, who could tank, this speed reduction effect was nothing. Even if his movement speed was reduced, Night Blood Phoenix could still tank the Boss’s attack.

Night Stroll’s responsibility was to take care of Night Blood Phoenix and heal him. Therefore, he had it easy. Night Sweetie was supporting them from the side with her attacks by using Slash several times. After accumulating combos, she released high damage using Deboning. Then, she could retreat. On one hand, she controlled the output and allowed Night Blood Phoenix to pull the hatred of the Boss, while on the other hand, she could also regenerate her energy.

Fatty probably had it the easiest. Most of the Venomancer’s skills did not produce high hatred value, so he only needed to release his skills on the Boss. When the Poison Sting and Miasma hit it, he saw the toxin effect disappear after eight seconds and he replenished the attack.

Why was it hard for the Venomancer to do well in the early stages? Given Fatty’s attack output, his class simply did not help…

A Level 2 4-Star Quagmire Boss had 2,600 HP. After around ten minutes, it was killed. Upon seeing the Boss fall, Night Blood Phoenix and Night Stroll panted before they looked at Fatty with wide smiles.

It seemed that he should be picking up the items…

Fatty went forward and chose to pick up all the items on the Boss. After he took the dropped items, the light on the Boss’s body disappeared.

“Alright. Let’s share the booty!” Fatty then added, “Let’s see what we got!”

The rewards for killing two Elites and one Boss were definitely rich. Based solely on EXP, Fatty leveled up to Level 16!

They had obtained a total of 22 Silver Coins. After dividing them, each player obtained 5 Silver Coins and 50 Bronze Coins. Eight items had also been dropped: three Skill Books, four blueprints, and an enchantment formula!

The first Skill Book was a Level 20 Thief Skill: Snare Removal!

Fatty casually gave it to Night Sweetie, who thanked him. Her sweet voice made Fatty’s heart tighten.

The second book was the Prophet’s Lightning Guard Skill. It was an offensive totem skill, but there was no Prophet present there. Fatty asked, but nobody wanted it!

“I’ll take it then!” Fatty, who wasn’t polite, put the Skill Book into his backpack.

Upon seeing the third Skill Book, he was delighted. It was a Venomancer’s Skill Book.

Virus: A skill that a Venomancer can learn at Level 20. It aims at a single target, causing it to enter an Enfeebled state. The target will lose 2% of their attack and 3 HP per second. If there are any other creatures 30 Yards from the target, the target will also spread the virus to them. The skill lasts for 30 seconds and consumes 30 mana. The cooldown time is 25 seconds.
