I am the Lucky Cat of an MMORPG

49. Conflict

XiaoYu certainly didn't go far. This map was so big, he thought. If he gradually headed to the opposite direction, killing mobs as he went, surely he won't encounter them again.

When he heard a stampede of Jiangshi hopping about, he was worried for a moment that he'd stumbled upon a boss. XiaoYu turned around and saw the assassin who was assessing him before running back to him with over ten Jiangshi right behind him. The naive XiaoYu didn't think it'd be a trap. He thought the party of three might've met a berserk mob and only the assassin was fast enough to escape.

XiaoYu, filled with the professional ethics of a healer, threw a Haste at Nightmare-Demon. He even casted a Heal on the other, only to see Nightmare-Demon run even faster towards his direction.

"Lucky, you idiot! Run!" a voice shouted.

Before XiaoYu even had time to see who was telling him to run, Nightmare-Demon was running by his eyes. The other gave an evil grin and vanished. At first, the Jiangshi just stood there, stunned. Then, as if they found a new target, they unanimously spat poisonous gas at XiaoYu while hopping over to hit him.

"Arrow Rain! Lucky, don't space out! Heal yourself!" A storm of silver arrows swooshed right into the Jiangshi. The hurt mobs turned their attentions to the new target and leaped towards the person who shot those arrows.

After being simultaneously attacked by numerous bursts of poison, XiaoYu's health was near empty. If his necklace's poison resistance dramatically reducing the damage he received while poisoned and for how long the poison lasted, XiaoYu would've been flat out on the floor by now.

With a swift heal, an AoE heal and a potion, XiaoYu was able to recover from the dizzy effects of low health. He looked to his saviour and his gut clenched. It was Robin, the archer he partied with during team training. Robin had summoned his eagle, a pet that's not suited for flying in the cave, to help with attacking.

Robin himself kept withdrawing and dodging while casting Arrow Rain. This was an AoE skill which cost a lot of MP and arrows, yet it wasn't as damaging as just a single arrow being shot one by one.

Robin's lips were turning blue. He was clearly poisoned yet he busy chugging potions while barely dodging the physical attacks. XiaoYu quickly threw heals, Haste, Saint's Seal and cured Robin's poison. As only players could only see the health bar of their party, XiaoYu kept curing and healing Robin. If he ran out of MP, he'll down some potions. He didn't have time to wait for his MP to slowly regenerate by itself. The only thing in his mind right now was he cannot let Robin die.

The two kept throwing out skills as if that's all that mattered. As XiaoYu was able to react in time to buff Robin, the other was able to stop chugging potion bottles and focus on dealing with the crowd of Jiangshi before him.

As Robin's eagle had attracted quite a few Jiangshi's attention, the current circumstance was favouring XiaoYu's side. Finally, the entire group of monsters laid dead on the floor. Unfortunately, the eagle Robin's raised for so long died with them.

"Damn it! What's going on with you, assassin? Were you trying to kill him?" Robin shouted at where the assassin had hidden himself. His sharp eyes allowed him to see the shady expression on the assassin's face as he ran towards LuckyCat.

To Robin's surprise, not only did LuckyCat not shy away from the other, he even buffed that bastard. Luckily, LuckyCat wasn't shocked silly and was able to heal himself and help Robin in time. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be his eagle dying.
