Chapter 503: Chapter 503
Everyone saw Lin Yi’s embarrassed expression and couldn’t help but burst into pig-like laughter, including Katrina herself.
Gotta admit, the already stunning Katrina’s smile bloomed like a hundred flowers, giving off a gentle, mesmerizing aura, as if beauty itself existed in that moment.
However, while everyone else was laughing, there was only Dongfang Jing standing aside with a trace of melancholy on her face.
At this moment, Dongfang Jing’s mind replayed what Katrina had just said:
"I was merely a pawn chosen by Father God to guard this place. The real me died long ago, in that year."
"But for me, seeing you after a hundred years truly brings me joy for you."
"I’m so sorry I didn’t listen to you back then and walked this path of no return."
"If there is another life, let’s be sisters again."
Watching the figure lightly covering her mouth with a laugh, so enchanting, Dongfang Jing’s heart was filled with helplessness and reluctance.
’Perhaps this will be their last meeting.’
Once the dungeon is cleared for the first time, Katrina’s mission would be complete.
By that time, the boss here will turn into a pile of data, and Katrina will become a product endowed with specific emotions by the system.
Humans might just be . Initially, when Katrina asked me to call her ’Aunt Master,’ Lin Yi was hesitant.
But after saying it the first time, now he didn’t feel as resistant in his heart.
Looking at his task list, although Lin Yi was reluctant to disrupt the current beauty of the moment, he still had to ask:
"Excuse me, Aunt Master, how can we get past this stage of yours?"
According to the task requirements, they were supposed to kill the boss, which is Katrina.
However, after learning Katrina’s identity, to be honest, Lin Yi was sure he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
But Katrina’s next words sent Lin Yi’s heart plummeting. Katrina stopped her laughter and said calmly:
"To get past this stage is very simple."
Lin Yi’s curiosity was piqued:
"How do we get past it?"
Katrina smiled slightly:
Lin Yi and the companions who were laughing just moments ago were instantly stunned. Thɪs chapter is updated by n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Lin Yi himself stood there for a long time without responding.
And Katrina, when she said this, it felt as if she had merely taken a sip of water, with no fear or panic in her eyes, not even unnatural.
"Isn’t there any other way?"
Lin Yi asked again, unwilling to give up.
But what greeted him was Katrina’s shake of the head:
"Rules are rules. I can’t change them."
Katrina looked at Lin Yi, her face crossed with a gentle expression:
"As your Aunt Master, this is as far as I can help you."
Lin Yi saw a resolve in Katrina’s eyes, his heart trembled:
"What are you going to do?!"
Yet, in the next moment, numerous red ribbons appeared before Katrina, wrapping her swiftly.
While everyone was confused, Katrina’s voice came from within:
"This is my signature move, ’Furious Flame Red Rhombus’. Once cast, you’ll all turn to ashes under my flames."
"It’s just that the casting time might be a bit long, so you can’t attack me during this period."
Everyone stared blankly at the mass wrapped in red ribbons in the center, feeling a mix of emotions.
Katrina’s intentions were very clear, providing everyone an effortless chance to ’kill her’. Even an idiot could see that Katrina’s intention was to give way.
However, no one present made a move. Everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
Reluctant to attack the boss when clearing a dungeon?
If this got out, it would surely be laughable.
No one wanted to attack the ’woman’ who just moments ago was chatting and laughing with everyone.
But at this time, a figure appeared in the arena, startling everyone:
The magic staff in Dongfang Jing’s hand emitted a scorching flame:
A flame hit the red ribbons, causing a loud boom.
At this moment, Dongfang Jing seemed possessed, continuously waving her magic staff, spells bursting forth like a machine gun.
Inside, Katrina’s somewhat teasing voice came out:
"You’re not holding back!"
Dongfang Jing suddenly shouted:
"Don’t let me see you in the next life, you scoundrel!"
At this time, Lin Yi suddenly noticed that Dongfang Jing’s eyes had started to turn red.
Inside, Katrina continued nonchalantly:
"Don’t worry, if there is a next life, I’ll still be your sister, and you’ll still be the chubby little girl I bullied."
Dongfang Jing suddenly seemed to go mad, shouting:
"Don’t call me chubby little girl, you damn witch, ah!!!"
Dongfang Jing kept casting skills at Katrina, and when the skills were exhausted, she used basic attacks, the assault had almost no hesitation.
If not for hearing their conversation, one might truly think the two of them had some deep-seated grudge.
Meanwhile, Tian Ci and others, listening to their dialogue, felt something was amiss, but couldn’t quite figure it out, bewildered.
However, one thing was certain: Dongfang Jing’s identity was indeed not simple, which everyone tacitly agreed upon in their hearts.
But so far, no one had ever spoken up to really ask or find out about these things, and everyone’s attitude towards Dongfang Jing was almost the same as Lin Yi’s.
That is, no matter what shocking actions Lin Yi took, as long as Lin Yi didn’t say anything, everyone wouldn’t inquire, just do their own part.
And now for Dongfang Jing as well.
Everyone looked at Lin Yi, then Lin Yi gritted his teeth:
"Aunt Master, forgive me!"
Lin Yi raised his hand and began casting skills:
Basic attack, basic attack...
Everyone only acted after seeing Lin Yi make a move.
But this time, none of them felt the thrill of fighting a boss.
Everyone remained silent, unsure of what words to use to describe their feelings at this moment.
In the past, whenever a skill landed on the boss, seeing the huge damage numbers rise from the boss’s head, there would be a thrill and motivation blooming in their hearts.
Watching those continually rising damage numbers and the continuously depleting health, it felt like a fishbone stuck in the throat, unable to be swallowed, unable to be spit out, exceedingly uncomfortable.
Most unsettling for everyone was the continuous addictive laughing of Katrina.
Was she seeking liberation?
No one could answer this question, nor did anyone ask.
Each person mechanically, silently, cast their skills ─ it was probably the most bizarre boss fight in history.
At this moment, only Zhang Xinying and Wang Zixin did not make a move, Zhang Xinying watched Katrina’s rapidly decreasing health with reddened eyes and turned to ask the Werewolf Prophet Yidra:
"If we get the first kill this time, will Katrina remain here next time we come?"
And the usually responsive Yidra chose silence this time.
Zhang Xinying suddenly thought of something, covered her mouth in disbelief:
"Is there really no other way?"
But then, Yidra slowly spoke up:
