Cathulhu Online, MUNYA!

Chapter 305 – Cat Dad's Wholesome Dungeon

= B3 Floor, Fun Level =

"Row, row, row the boat…"

Taotie blankly patrolled this floor per Meowmeow's request.

Although the majority of party girls sortied, a thousand newborn party girls remained behind. They did their things in the dungeon, walking around their party tables and playing the song over and over again.

Taotie got sick of it at first. But after he had gone through five stages of grief, he began singing along.

WHOOSH

WHOOSH

While Taotie followed the parade of party girls and joined their cake-slicing ritual, countless people noclipped into the dungeon. A few of them were sent directly to the room that Taotie was in.

"Oh, food. How nice."

The party girls turned around in unison and chased after the intruders. As if they were in playing tag, they simply bit the nearest victims and sprinted toward the others.

Because of the intruders, all the party girls used their powers and the nursery rhyme got so loud that it suppressed the voice of the intruders. This song was the way party girls communicated with their colleagues, warning the others that intruders were inside the dungeon.

After the girls rushed out to infect and capture people, Taotie took his time, slicing a piece of flesh cake and taking a bite. The lion didn't mind the raw food since he could eat anything.

RUMBLE

Suddenly, the presence of two immortals silenced the song. Many life signatures of the newborn party girls disappeared.

Taotie sensed the crisis. He stopped eating the cake and sprinted toward the troubled area.

He arrived at one of the party rooms. In there, 20 party girls had already been cut to a thousand pieces, and a hulk-like swordsman got stuck inside the room with his two long swords.

This floor's ceiling was about 2.5 meters in height. However, this intruder was at least 3 meters tall, and he couldn't even stand.

Taotie glanced at the level and the name of the intruder.

Richard Mazinger, the Sword Saint, Level 5,500

"How the hell did he get here?"

Taotie smirked and scoffed at the intruder. As Taotie's level was slightly higher than Richard, he saw this intruder as a game that he could eat and get stronger.

Before Taotie could do anything, he heard the voice of Meowmeow in his mind.

'Party Queen must have used her domain and teleported her enemies here to complete her ritual, munya.'

"What ritual, senior?"

'She needs to abduct 10,000 people to use her full potential. That girl is a type that works best against a massive army, munya.'

"Same as Gata?"

'Gata is a lot weaker, actually. Her power only works against players and weaker immortals. But Party Queen can keep growing until her level reaches the level-9999 cap, munya. Anyway, can you take care of that guy? I'll send Mimir to get rid of another immortal, munya.'

"Sure, boss. But can I eat him?"

'Go ahead. He's yours, munya.'

"NOICE!"

.

Meanwhile, Richard looked around and found that he got stuck in the small dungeon. He shrank his physique and reverted back to a humanoid swordsman.

Then, he noticed the presence of Taotie. He also saw his level and name.

Taotie, Agent of Calamity, Level 6,200

"Taotie?! I thought your level was supposed to be under 6,000!"

Richard recognized Taotie right away. He used to visit Siren Monastery and Taotie in the garden. At that time, Taotie's level was only 5,555 due to the restraints.

Unbeknownst to Richard, Taotie was always well-fed after he had joined Meowmeow's gang. He got so much good food that his level kept rising.

Taotie evilly grinned and expanded his body. He stomped, and a section of the room collapsed, revealing the void dimension.

The vacuum of the void sucked both Taotie and Richard, but both of them firmly planted their feet on the ground. They resisted the suction force of the void while glaring at each other.

"Taotie, for old-time sake, come back to our side! We promise that we won't mistreat you!"

"Mistreat me? So chaining me and disabling my power is not mistreatment?"

"It was Lord Pangu's order. We had no choice!"

"I know. I understand," Taotie shrugged. "I'll rejoin you. Why not?"

Hearing that Taotie would return to Pangu's side, Richard was delighted. He lowered his swords and let out a sigh of relief.

That was his biggest mistake.

Taotie suddenly unleashed his ultimate skill!

"NIHIL!!"

DING

<You have activated your stellar constellation domain – Domain of Gluttony!>

<Once a day, you can instantly devour a living being inside your domain and steal all attributes, spiritual roots, and abilities!>

The domain power was simple, yet powerful. This was also the reason why he got the calamity fiend title.

Unable to react, the illusion of Taotie's fangs surrounded Richard. They pierced him from all sides, tearing his flesh to pieces.

The flesh of Richard entered Taotie's mouth. He leisurely chewed the Mazinger's flesh, blood, and bones in glee.

DING

<You have been cursed by the Mazingers.>

Taotie scoffed at the message and focused on digesting the immortal.

DING

<You have stolen Richard Mazinger's status attributes, spiritual roots, and Dao.>

<You have comprehended Mazinger Sword Arts.>

<You have comprehended Mazinger Sword Dao.>

<You have…>

A hundred messages surrounded Taotie, spamming and blocking his vision. He screeched and closed all pop-up windows as if they were ancient pop-ups, caused by computer malware.

DING

<Your level has increased.>

Taotie looked up. His level went up from 6,200 to 7,000 after eating the sword saint with his ultimate skill. Then, he burped and picked his teeth with a tiny toothpick.

While Taotie sat down and patted his belly, the injured party girls took care of themselves. They pulled out canteens of potions and sacred water. Then, they rushed to the heavily injured comrades, pouring sacred water on their wounds.

Their lost limbs were regenerated. Their wounds were healed, and their HP was restored to the max. Then, they regrouped and returned to their rooms as if nothing had happened.

The broken ceiling was restored and closed. No vacuum power from the void troubled Taotie anymore.

Seeing that the situation was handled, Taotie thought of another immortal.

"Come to think of it, where is another immortal?"

Taotie was about to stand up, but he stumbled upon the corpse of a party girl. He looked at the unfortunate monsters that ran into the immortal.

20 of them died here.

"Poor girlies."

Taotie mumbled, feeling bad for the monsters. He brought out inflatable balloons that he got from one of the loots and tied them in the room. Then, he prayed for them.

"Sorry. I wasn't fast enough."

Their corpses were ignited in black flame. They disintegrated into smoke and vanished.

"KIKIKIKI!"

Despite their departure, their laughter echoed in the room as if they were bidding Taotie farewell.

Taotie closed his eyes and shed a manly tear. He lowered his head, paying respect to his departing comrades.

"Why are you being sentimental all of a sudden?"

Outside of the room, Mimir stood there, dragging the corpse of another immortal along. As usual, he carried his staff around, but his bishop robe was covered in blood.

Taotie clicked his tongue, "Can't I pray for dead monsters for once?"

"Pray? For whom?"

"The dead party girls, god dammit!"

Taotie turned around and was about to yell at the ex-bishop. But as he turned around, he found out that the balloons that he had tied around the rooms were gone.

"KIKIKIKI!"

20 chibi party girls were holding the new balloons. They looked up and smiled at Taotie.

"You know, Taotie. Party girls have a unique Dao. They deposit their heart into a balloon. Whenever they die, the hearts in the balloons will regenerate their bodies back. So…"

Mimir pointed at the 20 chibis, "Those girls didn't actually die. They're still here."

Taotie was frozen. He looked at the little monsters, who seemed to like their new balloons.

"You stupid girls…"

Taotie swiped his eyes. His face blushed in embarrassment.

"Kikikiki!"

The little monsters hugged Taotie's legs. Then, they invited him to join their party by restarting their favorite song.

"Row, row, row the boat, gently down the stream!"

.

Seeing how Taotie getting sentimental, Mimir faintly smiled. He left him alone, letting him enjoy his moment. Also, he needed to hide something from the lion.

Following behind Mimir was a long parade of small party girls, who were killed by the white gorilla bishop that Mimir had been dragging on the floor. This immortal Mazinger killed 300 party girls during the raid, but they were safely resurrected.

Because Mimir avenged them, they followed the ex-bishop, wanting to invite him to join their parties.

Mimir sighed and shook his head. He turned around and sat down. Then, he gave them latex balloons.

"I'm so sorry, children. I'm busy at the moment. I need to go to B7 and report to my boss. Here, take these balloons and use them instead of the old ones. They're sturdier."

"Kikikiki!"

The party girls accepted the balloons and dispersed. A few of them pulled the hem of Mimir's robe as if they were thanking him. One of them even jumped and kissed Mimir's cheek.

The old man laughed and patted the monster girls.

"Oh, dear. They're actually cute."
