Old Yin: "My robe fell off, can someone help me pick it up?"
Ride Donkey: "I can't pick it up, Loli, help him out and throw it to him, quick! The boss has less than 8,000 HP left!"
Loli: "Ah, my brothers, my leg guards and chest armor fell off! If I go for it, I'm just sending myself to death!"
The other players quickly looked back at Heartbroken Loli.
Heartbroken Loli was holding her chest with both hands, her fair skin glowing, her figure stunning. Even that huge chest... no one could avoid noticing.
Everyone stared at her, their gazes predatory: "It fell? Good!"
Loli turned to the just-resurrected Absolute Kid: "Healer, it's up to you now, you're the safest one."
Absolute Kid looked troubled and cried out: "My weapon broke, how can I go pick it up?"
The others were speechless. Burnt Chicken Wings, who had earlier sold them out, sighed and helplessly stepped in: "I beg you guys, stop messing around. I'll risk my life to pick up the items, just hurry up and kill the boss!"
Burnt Chicken Wings activated his movement skills, increasing his speed, and started grabbing equipment around the boss, tossing it to the others.
However, just as he did, the Cursed Beast attacked and killed him in an instant. But it gave the others valuable time to deal damage.
7,000 HP!
5,000!
2,000!
...
"Oh my god! It wasn't easy, but we finally killed it!" Ride Donkey shouted, releasing a triumphant roar. After countless deaths at the hands of the cursed beast, it was finally taken down.
"Come out! Magic-resistant God gear!"
"At the very least, we should get a legendary weapon drop, an A-grade skill book wouldn't be too much to ask for!"
Everyone cheered, their spirits high.
Such a powerful elite boss should have dropped loot worth several million at the very least.
The Cursed Beast's body expanded, then, with a soft "pop," a cloud of black mist dissipated into the wind.
The players waited expectantly for several seconds, but not even a gold glow appeared. Not even blue light.
"Where's my epic equipment? What the hell? No experience either!"
"...I give up, damn game, ruining my youth!"
"I'm Gandalf, and I'm not happy about this!"
The group was furious, and Ride Donkey muttered to himself: "Definitely the curse from the Vice Guild Leader. Damn it, haha..."
"Your summon, Cursed Beast, has been killed."
"Your summon..."
At the same time, Demon Emperor and Blank had taken down another Cursed Beast.
Demon Emperor: "Something's off. This boss looks like it's a player's summon."
Slaughter Ling Xiao: "Yeah, I've fought summoner-type bosses before. Even if the loot is repetitive, at least there should be silver coins and experience."
Everyone was surprised. How could a powerful elite boss drop nothing?
"If this is a summoner player's creation, then who exactly are they fighting?" Blank said coldly.
"Orsix!"
The players turned to see Orsix, sitting calmly in the Lord's seat, still protected by Drunken Dream nearby.
Drunken Dream, surrounded by two NPCs, was managing to hold his ground with expert maneuvers and exclusive Dragon Knight techniques. However, anyone with a sharp eye could see that, despite his best efforts, facing two Lord-Class enemies, it was only a matter of time before he was defeated and killed.
"This guy is wearing the Empire's Fire Mage robe, but also uses frost magic, and he can summon a powerful boss?"
"Does Infinite Dimensions have characters like this?"
"That freeze skill that killed Shenshou and others earlier... that was at least A-level, if not S-level."
Everyone speculated about Orsix's true identity.
Blank furrowed his brows, his gaze locked on Orsix's smiling face. The expression seemed to overlap with someone from his past.
It was that bastard!
Blank's eyes sharpened, her killing intent radiating from her. She grit her teeth and entered stealth mode, ready to launch a lethal strike.
"Very well. You've killed my ghost with just this few deaths." Orsix smiled faintly, suddenly looking at Demon Emperor and the others.
"Who are you?" Demon Emperor asked, his brows furrowed in confusion.
"An unnamed individual," Orsix said calmly, extending a hand. A crack in space slowly opened.
If this person was an NPC disguised as a player, then he couldn't possibly be an "unnamed individual."
Earlier, he had instantly killed Shenshou and others with a magical attack and summoned a boss with strange mechanics—his power was almost on the level of a monster player.
Slaughter Guild's players felt a chill down their spines. Just one Orgod had already made them wary. Competing with Godslayer Guild for resources in Dragon's Kiss was risky enough, but they now had to consider whether angering Orgod could lead to retaliation.
Demon Emperor repeatedly told his members that it was not the time for a direct confrontation with Godslayer, but as the guild's power grew rapidly, he knew it was only a matter of time before something exploded.
Now, with the addition of a terrifying "summoner" pretending to be an NPC, his headache only worsened.
"Summon Beast Space!"
Slaughter Ling Xiao exclaimed. Recently, many anonymous players had awakened summoning professions, with one of them reaching S-rank!
He suspected this person was that S-rank summoner!
"You will face my mount," Orsix said with a smile. "How will you deal with it, my friend?"
At these words, Demon Emperor and the others looked grim. Except for the few S-rank players present, the others were top-tier players. Yet, they were only being told to deal with the opponent's mount?
While they felt slighted, they didn't dare underestimate the situation and stared warily at the crack in space.
"Whoever dares harm my servant will feel my wrath!"
A childish, arrogant voice rang out, and both the players and NPCs froze in place as a single egg hopped out of the crack.
"I, the Supreme Dragon Empress, command you insects to kneel before me..."
Berenice yelled, but tripped, almost causing the egg to break and ruin the moment.
She shakily got back up and steadied the egg: "Kneel! All of you, kneel before me!"
This... was this a dragon egg?
Orsix covered his face in despair, realizing why the idiot hadn't caused trouble earlier—it had been hiding inside the Battle Space.
"The HP increased by six points? And it's growing larger?"
Orsix snapped back to his senses, noticing some oddities. The egg was becoming more translucent, with the magical runes on the shell becoming clearer. Four different colored symbols swam across it like tadpoles.
Orsix checked the egg's properties.
[Dragon Maiden·Berenice]
[Dragon Egg Form]
[HP: 7/7]
[Skill: ?]
[Hatching Progress: 6/50]
Orsix's eyes lit up. This little thing had a hatching progress bar.
It seemed tied to leveling up, meaning it needed to gain 44 more levels before it could hatch.
What would emerge from this egg with four bloodlines?
"My apologies, I summoned the wrong one."
"This doesn't count."
Orsix turned red in the face and quickly stuffed Berenice back into his pants pocket.
The players were left utterly confused. Was this how a summoner operated?
Crazy Handsome: "What the hell are you guys doing? Hazel is about to leave the city. I'll bring people to save you!"
At the same time, Crazy Handsome and the others split into two groups, kicking open the wedding hall doors just in time to see Orsix putting Berenice into his pocket.
Crazy Handsome was stunned and immediately shouted: "Holy crap! If I'm not mistaken, that's a rare dragon egg!"
As soon as he said that, everyone's eyes turned to Orsix. Even the opposing players suddenly didn't seem important anymore.
"A dragon egg… Oh my god, someone actually has such a powerful treasure. Let's kill him and take it!"
"As long as he's a player in disguise, even if we kill him and the egg doesn't drop, he'll respawn in the dungeon. We can kill him again until the dragon egg drops!"
Their eyes turned bloodshot, and Crazy Handsome and his group immediately set their sights on the foolish mage.
"Kill him! Take the dragon egg!"
Demon Emperor's face darkened. The temptation was undeniable, even for someone as calculating as him. He couldn't suppress his greed.
With a dragon egg in hand, he would have a giant dragon beast!
"Alright, Infinite Dimensions world, killing and looting treasures is only natural."
Orsix sighed, once again opening the Battle Space with a light laugh: "Want the dragon egg? Prepare for your levels to drop to zero!"
"Number one, come out and eat."
Orsix's expression darkened, and the Battle Space suddenly expanded numerous times, causing the ceiling of the banquet hall to explode.
A monstrous beast's blood-red eyes opened.
An icy chill began to spread throughout the hearts of everyone present.
A roar echoed through the lord's hall. This was destined to be a massacre!
