This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist-Chapter 1163: Divine Game Quiet Mountain 46

The instant Rita finished shouting her battle cry, QM Rita, who had been at the forefront, charged forward even faster!

She had to finish this—there was no more room for hesitation!

Rita stood there unarmed, letting the flashing blades, claws, and a variety of multicolored skills rain down on her.

Amidst the sound of whale calls, one negative effect after another began to land on Rita.

[No Healing]

[No Movement]

[Casting Time x10]

With the additional negative effects from QM Mistblade’s Descent, Rita’s debuff count rapidly skyrocketed.

Before, everyone’s combat power had been relatively close, and both attack and defense were high. As long as they avoided using divine abilities, both Rita and the Quiet Mountain players were gradually losing health.

But now, Rita’s health was plummeting nearly every second.

95% — 74% — 58% — 41% — 30%!!

A massive shockwave burst from the center of the skills.

The Quiet Mountain melee fighters were all sent flying back several meters, and an invisible barrier prevented them from advancing any further.

QM Kessa, stunned, exclaimed, "What skill is this?"

Nivalis, who couldn’t shout anything publicly at this moment, would have otherwise shouted, "It’s just a cutscene—we added a cutscene."

QM Rita’s expression twisted slightly. Although she hadn’t copied the memories of the original, she did have a lot of common knowledge. After all, Quiet Mountain wanted the original’s personality, will, and instincts—these things were bound to be retained. Furthermore, Quiet Mountain could hardly afford to spend energy teaching the clone all that knowledge, especially when Quiet Mountain’s "BS" also had a game of its own.

She commented dryly, "The BOSS’s second phase is triggered."

QM Maple Syrup, distracted by her gambling, asked, "What the hell is that?!"

As the majority of the smoke and dust cleared, and the invisible barrier vanished, a faint mist lingered in the air. From within it, a pair of massive dragon wings slowly unfurled, and a figure holding a dragon bone sword emerged. The white flame on her forehead turned red, and two coins—one real, one illusionary—floated around her.

QM Rita: "..." So she really triggered the second phase...

She turned to look at her own side of the battlefield.

Five melee fighters, three ranged, one healer, and one tank...

Among the melee fighters were the high-explosive assassin Kessa and the control-focused Maple Syrup.

What a perfect raid composition... if only she were the BOSS.

Just like Quiet Mountain charged in without a word to fight a boss, Rita didn’t waste any time. As soon as she checked her second phase’s complete state and new skills, she charged straight into the Quiet Mountain players!

At the same time, QM Maple Syrup, using her Demon Relic, managed to scan the BOSS’s information.

[BS Rita · Wildfire Reignited · Second Phase] (Star Sea)

Strength: ?

Constitution: ?

Intelligence: ?

Agility: ?

Luck: 10 (+72)

Charisma: 10

"Uncontrollable, untraceable, immune to mental debuffs, 100% reflection damage, life steal, mind control, infinite mana, chance to disarm on attack."

Before she could share the information with her teammates, SS Rita had already charged into the melee range. Her attack power and speed had both surged, pushing her already formidable combat abilities to new heights. Meanwhile, the Quiet Mountain players were stunned to see what was coming next.

As Rita attacked, the two coins—one real and one illusionary—flew around her, heading for QM Maple Syrup and Quiet Mountain JE. Instantly, their eyes turned a brilliant golden, and they immediately began attacking their own teammates.

Quiet Mountain JE dove down, and with a whale’s call, all Quiet Mountain players’ skills were interrupted. Furthermore, the interrupted skills could not be used again for the next hour.

The situation changed in an instant.

What was once a 10v1 fight became a 3v8. And the best part? This mind control wasn’t a long-lasting effect.

After a minute, the coins returned to SS Rita, but with another sword swing, they flew out again, this time targeting QM Mistblade and QM Frenzied Shark, circling them and making their weapons swing toward their teammates.

This mind control kept shifting!

And with the random nature of the control, they couldn’t predict who would be affected next. If SS Rita had chosen, she would have targeted QM Rita first.

But the randomness made it difficult to find a pattern, meaning that in this battle, they had to watch out for their own teammates.

QM Mojie, with a pained expression, murmured to QM Tune, "I’m starting to feel nauseous."

QM Tune took a step to the side. "...Same."

But that wasn’t all. SS Rita’s attacks not only had a chance to heal her but could also create a third coin. Whenever the third coin appeared, it meant that a third player would betray their side.

The newly restored QM Mistblade, in a panic, turned to QM Rita and asked, "Does ’BS’ have a game like this? The kind you always love to play!"

"No," QM Rita replied seriously before Mistblade could retort, "The games in ’BS’ aren’t this disgusting."

Just then, QM Kessa ran past. "Hurry, Rita, cancel the ’Midsummer’ permanent death rule."

She had just circled around to SS Rita’s back, trying to deliver an attack to trigger the passive effect that doubled damage when attacking from behind. However, SS Rita immediately spun around, wildly swinging her dragon spine sword and chasing her down.

As QM Frenzied Shark, being pursued by QM Maple Syrup, ran by, she added, "Right! Let’s wait until she’s almost dead, and then reset the rules."

"I can cancel the modified settings," QM Rita explained, "but once I do, I can’t re-set them. If I still have a chance to modify the settings today, I’d directly prevent her from mutating."

"Mutating? That’s an awful term!" SS Rita retorted, a dragon spine sword thrusting toward QM Rita. "It’s called breaking through limits."

The third coin appeared, flying toward QM Rita and quickly spinning around her.

As the two Ritas, along with QM Maple Syrup and QM Cicada, charged toward the Quiet Mountain players, those unaffected by the mind control screamed silently with their mouths open.

QM Mojie, whispering in a panic, ran for his life. He glanced around and finally said to QM Frenzied Shark, "We have to convince her to cancel that setting!"

QM Frenzied Shark: "Yeah!" After saying this, he teleported to the front of QM Mojie.

QM Mojie, realizing that QM Frenzied Shark had left him behind, muttered, "...You’re such a coward, I can’t stand you!"

QM Frenzied Shark didn’t turn around or speak, but continued running, his knife hand moving furiously.

"...Really?" QM Mojie’s eyes widened, and as he looked to the right rear, he saw SS Rita appear, seemingly out of nowhere, right behind him.

QM Mojie: "..."
