I purchased the dagger, while the demon and the duwende were busy bickering with each other.
And every purchase was a dagger stabbed into me..
My points just vanished in an instant, leaving me with just 6 points.
I'm saving a lot of points I swear.
The holy rosary was repaired and to my surprise.... No more specifically...
To my anger...
[AUTO DEDUCTED 6 POINTS. HOLY ROSARY UPGRADED]
Holy.....holy....cow!
This system is a scammer. It really thinks I'm a pushover!
[HOST, ITEMS AND UPGRADES ARE NECESSITIES. OR YOU'LL DIE.]
That stopped me from spiraling. And backed down instantly.
I'm not dying today, nor any day.
"Auto deduct from my points permitted if it guarantee my survival." I said firmly.
[NOTED.....HEH..]
DId the system just....
Did it just....
Please correct me... Did it just "heh" at me?
I swear I felt like the system was mocking me. Silently, snickering somewhere in there.
And it was gone. The blue screen just escaped from my very suspicious look at it.
I'm really gonna have a talk with the system. And I'm not forgetting the little one. Why it's tagged as companion now.
But that can't wait. I've been dragging this fight with the demon for quite sometime now.
Need to work some muscles.
Muscle... Yeah... If the demon won't look at me with those meaty features crushed everywhere.
And because the demon and the little one was still at it. I took the chance to jumped towards the demon and put the rosary back onto its neck.
Is it because of the upgrade? But it was much more easier to put it around its neck this time. Than a while ago.
The size of the rosary adjusted. It was so long that it could fit three people at the same time. Then adjusted, locking onto the demon's neck.
[HOLY ROSARY USED.]
The demon began growling again, and screamed. It was in pain. It was flailing around the ground.
Both hands and feet doing 360. And its head was shaking, and turning around till its neck was coiled.
I could hear the crunching of its bones. If it had one. Since the sounds coming from the twists and turns were unmistakable.
[DEMON HAS BEEN WEAKENED BY 30%]
That update was a blessing. Then voices came behind me.
The six ghosts are back. When the rosary was used on the demon, they were released from the endless agony they're reliving.
They look.....grim. and didn't even waste another second and lunged towards the demon.
And they're at it again.
And I let them. The system chime was music to my ears. I even raised my hand like a conductor to the orchestra I'm forced to lead.
Paula's wicked laugh here....chime.
The demon growled in pain....chime.
Sharon was still demure as she broke one finger...chime.
It was all harmonizing in the very gruesome way possible.
Until the system decided, I had found an exploit.
[DAILY 100 POINTS REACHED]
And the chiming stopped.
"No fair. I only got 61 points from that. Like each of them only did ten hits per ghosts!" I complained. With my heart and lungs out.
They looked at me like I'm some idiot talking to myself because of stress. And now they think I'm crazy.
[HOST. DAILY FARMING THRESHOLD IS 100 POINTS. TO GAIN MORE, UNLOCK MORE TASK, AND COMPLETE THEM.]
Tsk. This system is a businessman behind this blue screen.
The ghosts, taking their own revenge was being tagged as point farming. I should find a way to keep it going daily.
But if the main task is complete, they'll be cleanse and will crossover.
My points!!!!!
I was already doing the math while the ghosts still kept at it. They're not even slowing down.
[DEMON WEAKEND BY 73%]
That's also a thing? They're doing the work for me. After a few minutes the demon will be eliminated and the task will be completed.
[REMINDER. POINTS WON'T BE GIVEN IF HOST DOESN'T DEAL THE FINAL BLOW.]
That caught me completely off guard. So, it's still me who needs to do the final kill.
Such, rpg kind of thing.
I stood up and walked towards them. The demon was nowhere intact.
It was....
"Bleergh!"
"HEY!! YOU VOMITED ON ME!" The duwende was furious.
"Sorry. It was an accidental. It's not...bleergh!" I...my puke landed on it again.
[CURSE BAD LUCK FOR DAYS HAS BEEN INFLICTED ON YOU.]
Huh? I'm cursed?
[CURSE DURATION: INFINITE OR UNTIL THE CASTER DECIDED TO LIFT IT UP.]
And the curse greeted me... warmly.
Mid walk, my foot got stuck on the root, which made me fall and my face fell flat on the demon's blood.
"Eeeeeewwwww!" I wiped off the blood on my face with the back of my hand.
[DEMON WEAKENED BY 98%]
[99]...
NO...NOOOOO!
"Everyone! Stop hitting the demon!"
The six of them looked at me, and stopped but Paula's hand was already doing a full punch, that she wasn't able to stop the momentum.
[DEMON HAS BEEN WEAKENED BY 100%]
[DEMON HAS BEEN DEFEATED.]
[FINAL BLOW DEALER: PAULA]
I looked at the blue screen in disbelief.
That kill was supposed to be mine. I was stunned in my place. I'm stuck with just 61 points. And....to make me feel the most heartbreaking matter of all.
[FINAL DEAL POINT REWARD: 100 POINTS. RECEIVER: PAULA]
[TASK UPDATING. ELIMINATE THE DEMON HAS BEEN COMPLETED. GAINED +100 POINTS]
[NEW TASK ACQUIRED: THE FINAL JUDGEMENT.]
[TASK DESCRIPTION: INFORM THE AUTHORITIES OF THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE VICTIMS' BODIES. GRANT THEM THEIR FINAL RESTS]
Finally! My first task is done. I still got 100 points for completing it but, that 100 points Paula got was supposed to be mine.
And Paula? Can't even use it. Didn't even know about it.
The duwende, was smirking. Mischievously. Loving the fact its curse was doing the works without delay.
Good for him. But.. this won't stop me. I'm getting back at it. For sure.
