Gamers of the Underworld

The Ogres screamed wildly as they waved their weapons. They had conquered the Living Quarters of Victoria City and the Teleport Portal Main Hall. Some Ogres even tried to invade the Castle, but they were driven back by valiant gamers.

However, from the current situation, it was only a matter of time before the Castle was taken. The Revival Point in front of the Castle was occupied by the Ogres, so when the gamers revived, they would be cut down by the sea of Ogres.

A lot of the gamers gave up on Revivals, making complaints on the discussion forum, especially in the post title [Dungeon War live discussion post]. Most of the replies were from the Victoria City Faction. The gamers of Eternal Kingdom could defend themselves with the Underworld terrain, but most of the gamers of Victoria City had given up.

[Fallen Dawn Star: This is favoritism. Is Victoria City your stepchild?]

[Competition Novices: We are fighting very hard, but there are simply too many Ogres!]

[Peach Juice: Can gamers of Eternal Kingdom save us? Our city is gone!]

[Beginner’s Village Head: This is hilarious. Why are you so trashy? Take a look at our Gundam. If the Ogres step into our Living Quarters, consider that we lose the war. (Picture)]

[SurvingIsMostImportant: Why doesn’t Victoria City have a Gundam? How much does it cost? We’ll crowdfund the project!]

[DarkArmoredCavalry: Silly dudes, the Gundam wasn’t bought by us, it was produced by one of the gamers in Eternal Kingdom! Make one if you so desire!]

The post was garnering hundreds of replies every second, which were pessimistic views of the Victoria City Faction. That all changed when Lilo came out of the Castle, the replies becoming frenzied snapshots of her.

[WildernessFurryKid: Lilo is here! The splendor of Duchess Lilo! (Picture)]

[GluttonousLao: Great! Duchess Lilo is punching each Ogre (Picture)]

[DemonBreeze: I’m not saying anything. Take a look at the pictures (Picture) (Picture)]

[TemperamentalSkyChangingClouds: Make haste and revive! We have occupied the Revival Point!]

…

As the post described, Lilo came out of the Castle wielding a large Pike that was completely out of proportion to her body. A thunderstorm of steel against flesh occurred where she went. All of the Ogres that were within her attack radius were reduced to minced meat and blood mists.

The Ogres disappeared rapidly, not because they retreated, but because they were being decimated by Lilo.

Lilo walked unobstructed to the Revival Point. Many naked gamers came out from the Revival Point and charged at the Ogres, their fists clenched.

The horn of victory sounded in Victoria City.

…

In the Ogre Fortress situated in the Sighing Wilderness.

In the dark Mana Formation, sounds of a fist flailing and Polio’s moans filled the air. Occasionally, a powerful impact hit against the barrier of the Mana Formation and created strong ripples.

Polio was beaten for ten minutes before the Mana Formation vanished.

Sherlock tidied up his hair, which had become messy after the strenuous exercise. He then calmly removed the finger sleeves and put them into his pocket.

In front of him was a wavering black figure that looked like a pool of dark liquid. The black figure trembled and looked like he was going to flee. However, he was unable to move.

Sherlock knelt in front of Polio and started drawing Rune Mana Formations on his body. With the completion of the Rune Mana Formations, magical white rays engulfed Polio, causing the black figure to shrink rapidly before turning into a physical form—a black kitten.

The Mana of the Rune Mana Formation quickly vanished from the kitten’s body.

“Hmm, he isn’t dead.”

Sherlock grabbed the kitten’s neck and lifted Polio.

“I was wrong. Please don’t beat me, meow…”

Polio, who was now a kitten, gave off strange meowing sounds. Even Polio was dumbstruck by his meowing, and he quickly asked, “What’s happening? My voice? Meow?”

Sherlock held the black kitten in his arms and extended his wings as he shrugged his shoulders.

“You are a black kitten, now and forever. Isn’t your meowing lisp normal? This was created by your master.”

“My master created this?”

Sherlock flapped his wings and flew through the rooftop cavity and towards the Airship.

He descended onto the deck of the Airship and looked down, observing the Ogres that were originally controlled by Polio and who were now coming out of the Teleport Portal incessantly. All of them looked dazed. The Ogres from opposing tribes even glared at each other and started bickering and fighting.

More Ogres formed groups as they ran around the Sighing Wilderness, looking for suitable locations to pitch camps for their tribes.

Polio lost control of the Ogres, so they became like scattered sand. Each tribe would have, at most, a few hundred Ogres.

Which looked like the current situation.

“Let’s go back, Yoda.”

Sherlock placed Polio on the deck, and he curled his body nervously. Polio straightened his tail, and his hair was standing on end. He looked like a real kitten.

Sherlock said to Polio, “Welcome to Eternal Kingdom. Forget about your identity as one of the 72 Devil Gods. You are now an honored employee. I have prepared a slavery deed for you. I mean, a labor contract with a lifetime duration. You’ll be pleased.”

Sherlock said, “Your first mission is to attack Morgan and disband the Ogres.”

Yoda controlled the Airship and flew towards Eternal Kingdom…

…

The monsters that attacked Eternal Kingdom and Victoria City stopped after the valiant gamers defended themselves for more than two hours.

The gamers from Eternal Kingdom and Victoria City felt that it was the result of their valiant battle.

Seeing the Ogres fleeing, the gamers pursued relentlessly. However, the gamers were unable to keep up with the speed of the Ogres. Some impatient gamers rode their Darting Birds to give chase and perished with their Darting Birds. Seeing the pathetic states of those gamers, others decided not to give chase.

However, according to Morgan, the war hadn’t ended.

“Don’t run! You are trash! Cowards!”

Morgan waved his Longsword and slashed at the fleeing Ogres. His 100 Proximity Ogre Guards fled at the first opportunity. He couldn’t understand why they would flee. Did he not follow Michelangelo’s method to control the Ogres? Why did such a thing happen?

Morgan’s behavior infuriated the escaping Ogres. They were being controlled without their knowledge, and after being freed, they wanted to flee immediately. After all, they were in the territory of a superior Devil and an Underworld army, there were corpses and signs of explosions everywhere, and a gigantic Gundam was killing Ogres in a frenzy.

Those crazy fellows were even throwing bladders that caused massive explosions.

It was horrifying. When had the Ogres encountered such a terrifying battle? They had to escape from their impending deaths.

Morgan’s willful killing of the Ogres antagonized them, especially when they realized that he had enslaved them and made them into cannon fodder. The Ogres were thoroughly enraged.

At that point, the eyes of some Ogres started to emit yellow light.

Large groups of Ogres charged at Morgan, who had exhausted his Mana, and he let out a final, frustrated roar before he was engulfed by the Ogre army.

…

The war ended. While there were small pockets of Ogre resistance, most of them had fled.

The gamers then began salvaging the battlefield, retrieving their own equipment as well. Whether the equipment was damaged or intact, the gamers could exchange it for small amounts of Reputation Points and game currency.

Though they were being exploited, it was better than losing the equipment outright. The gamers were used to the exploitation by the game producers.

Arthur was also salvaging the battlefield. He had plentiful Mana, but it vanished, and without Mana, the Gundam came to a halt.

In the sea of corpses, they discovered the bloodstained Morgan, who was panting hard.

The gamers were excited! The scene BOSS had arrived!
