Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In-Chapter 174 - 151 Stupid Cat Cat, your sister will definitely be pregnant a year later! _2
[Traveler, welcome to the journey of dreams~]
This time, Luo Xi’s accumulated Happiness Level wasn’t much, but even if he had stacked up to 1000 points of happiness bonus, increasing all qualities by 100%, Luo Xi felt it would still be of no use against that Mouse King.
Just what Tier was the Mouse King as a Mutated Transcendent?
Third-tier, Tier Four?
The Third-tier of an Origin Beast is known as Calamity; from the Third-tier onward, whether it’s an Origin Beast or a Transcendent, strength undergoes an exponential leap. Using his old power armor, he could easily trounce those First-tier and Second-tier soldiers, but he couldn’t possibly be a match for a powerhouse like the Mouse King.
But it didn’t matter anymore.
After all, his real goal wasn’t to defeat the Mouse King against the odds.
What he needed was only enough useful information.
...
The chilling cold wind blew by, brushing against Luo Xi’s face as he carried the two sisters like sacks, one in each hand.
Luo Xi glanced at Aina in his left hand and Wei’er in his right, then squinted ahead, his powerful night vision allowing him to see the people in front clearly, even through the darkness.
The clarity of vision under the state of Immersion talent was ultra-high definition.
Therefore, to Luo Xi, the middle-aged man who appeared quite amiable was actually abhorrent; his sullen complexion seemed as if he wanted to flay them alive.
Wei’er struggled out of Luo Xi’s embrace, covering her chest as she stood up with difficulty.
She weakly said, "Luo Xi, take Aina and go, don’t worry about me anymore. We’ve already come this far, yet he can still lock onto my position through some means. With me, you’ll only get dragged down."
"Cat Cat, stop talking."
Luo Xi looked at Noss and asked sternly, "What have you done to Wei’er?"
Wei’er’s condition had been quite good before, so it couldn’t have worsened so suddenly; the Mouse King must have done something.
Squeak squeak squeak—
Countless mice squeaked as they scurried past Luo Xi’s feet, while the middle-aged man walked over, surrounded by the mice.
Noss waved the blue magical staff in his hand and said with a laugh, "What have I done? Who are you? Do I need to explain myself to you? Not killing you directly before was my mistake, but not this time."
Wei’er’s pupils contracted as she said, "That’s the same one Mother used to use..."
Noss smiled warmly and said, "Right, this is the magical staff that your mother Liya left behind, a Lost Yuan Qi passed down from ancient legends. Uncle had intended to personally return this staff to you the day after we entered Winter City. Who knew you’d sneak in on your own?"
Luo Xi took out a hat, put it on his head, and said, "Is this why you’ve been able to find Wei’er?"
"Correct. Liya’s heavily used staff, imprinted with her deep traces. Using the staff to find her blood-connected daughter is still within my capabilities... Did I give you permission to ask questions?"
The Mouse King, facing Luo Xi who showed no fear on his face, spoke coldly, "You, a young man who knows neither fear of heaven nor earth, got lucky and picked up a life; you don’t really think you’re immortal, do you? If you mess up this Festival, then I’ll have to wait another three years, and your death a million times over wouldn’t be compensation enough!"
The corners of Luo Xi’s mouth raised slightly.
Noss: "..."
What was this guy smiling at?
Was there something amusing?
[Ding! Noss’s Anger Value towards you +20]
Wei’er gently tugged on Luo Xi’s clothes, "I’ll distract him; you two go!"
Luo Xi looked at Wei’er.
He shook his head.
Looking at the situation, if the other party didn’t want to let them go, how could he possibly leave?
"Mouse King, I know you need me."
Seeing Wei’er couldn’t dissuade Luo Xi, she took a step forward, holding a dagger to her neck, and said sharply, "Let them go, or else, right here I’ll..."
"Oh?"
Noss said, puzzled, "Little Wei’er, what gave you the illusion that you can negotiate terms with me? Is it him? A Variant Transcendent who has just entered First-tier?"
Suddenly, the middle-aged man disappeared from his original spot.
An instant later, he appeared in front of Luo Xi.
The Mouse King drew his steel sword from his waist and, with speed invisible to Luo Xi’s naked eye—just as before—sliced Luo Xi’s entire body in two.
Aina saw this scene and immediately her eyes lost their lustre.
Wei’er was stunned, kneeling weakly on the snow, with indescribable sorrow, she said,
"Why did you have to do this... I trusted you so much before..."
Noss walked up to Wei’er, picked up the unconscious Aina, let out a light sigh and said, "Little Wei’er, you don’t need to know so much. You just have to wait for your fate to unfold. That year, it was your mother who cut off my path, and now, it’s your turn to repay."
"Let’s go, let’s head back."
The Rat King reached out to pull the numb Wei’er, but he did not see that Luo Xi’s fallen body was disintegrating, his belongings were vanishing, and rats were already scurrying over, covering his body.
Noss muttered to himself, "One o’clock in the morning the next day, there’s still two hours left. I wonder how well Mazar has arranged things. Will that little city owner obey his commands? If we can’t control it well, things might get really messy."
If we leave now, we can still make it in time.
However, an accident happened.
Creak, creak—
Noss frowned and turned around.
What was that noise?
A black powered armor emerged from the snowy forest.
Black and red flames erupted from the armor, charging towards Wei’er, intent on ramming her to death.
The Rat King hesitated for a moment, set down Aina, grabbed his steel sword, and went for the armor.
No matter where this thing came from, he could not let anything happen to Wei’er.
Thus, the Rat King collided with the powered armor, his steel sword easily slicing through the armor’s external steel plating.
Something unexpected happened.
The powered armor’s internal Yuan Su went berserk, grabbing hold of the Rat King’s body, refusing to let go.
The Rat King realized something.
In its final moments, the powered armor’s power core could not only bear the load and exert several times the strength, but it could also act as a bomb and self-destruct.
Noss laughed wildly, "No matter who is inside this thing, you’ve underestimated a Tier Four Transcendent too much. I can withstand the attack of an ordinary lord-level Origin Beast..."
Boom!—
With an earth-shattering roar, the powered armor exploded.
"Aaaaah!—" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
The Rat King’s body was engulfed by the fierce blast and scorching heat, thrown back, and smashed against a distant tree. Clutching one bloodied eye, he looked furiously and incredulously at the ground ablaze with fire.
Why did this old powered armor have such explosive force in its self-destruct ability?!
Impossible!
.....
Amidst those fierce flames,
a golden little Elf Lolita hugged Luo Xi’s forehead, gently kissed it and said,
"Master, this is Spark’s final light. I’m sorry... This is all Spark can do."
Then, she completely shattered into light.
Luo Xi’s body was also full of cracks, his eyes downcast, he reached out to touch those scattered light points and softly said,
"It won’t be the last."
Luo Xi glanced towards Aina and Wei’er in the distance.
He smiled.
Then, the young man’s figure was completely engulfed by the firelight.
