Lilim Heritage Online - Chapter 234
Chapter 234 – Advantages of Killing Bosses
Only a few minutes passed since the battle had started. Yet, 80% of the players had been killed at least once.
Thanks to Misha, who drew the attention of all field bosses and paused their movement temporarily, all players managed to push back the attacking kobolds. Some of them got back their lost items from their dead body and resumed the fight.
Sasha regrouped with Des, Moo, and Non to assess the situation.
The tall rabbit leporian girl, Des, turned around and reported their war status.
“Some of them have just evolved into knights by converting players. I just saw one, but he’s trying to break free from Misha’s binding.”
Sasha frowned and stared at Des in confusion, “Then, why haven’t you killed it when you have the chance?”
The rabbit girl shook her head, “It’s getting risky fighting in mind space battles. There are too many kobolds around, and I don’t think that I can kill a knight on my own.”
“Have you fought a black slime soldier in your mind space before?”
“I killed 25, but my psyche is getting sluggish. I can barely create things in my mind space right now, and I don’t think I can handle another one.”
Des revealed her status menu and her HP, PF, and Stamina. For some reason, her PF and ST were in red color, and she could not restore them by consuming potions or other VIP items.
The game also gave Des a special abnormal status, [Mentally Exhausted].
.
****************************
>
This abnormal status only appears when a player overexerts their mental strength by participating in too many soul battles in a short period. A player with this debuff will not be able to restore their PF by consuming any item or recover by other magic.
Can be cured by taking a night sleep in-game.
****************************
.
Sasha turned to Moo and Non. Surprisingly, they also had this abnormal status, but they did not look tired. Instead, they were as cheerful as ever.
“Rabbitto, you’re weak, nya!” Moo snickered.
“Oi, that’s rude, pervert catto! Don’t listen to him, Des. You’re doing well.”
Sasha ignored their bickering, “Moo, how many slimes have you killed?”
“117!”
The demi-fairy’s face twitched. She only killed 95 black slime soldiers so far, but she did not have this status effect. However, Moo exceeded her expectations.
Still, she worried that Moo might succ.u.mb to the slime’s takeover ability if he continued fighting.
“Moo, you stop fighting in soul battles for now. What about you, Non? How many kills do you have?”
“Nya? I lost count when I killed the 50th guy. Maybe somewhere in the 80s?”
Non was doing well. Sasha was relieved that her friends had potentials.
“Okay, you three stop fighting and retreat to the inner city. I’ll get Natalie to replace all of you.”
Des wanted to protest that pulling away from the elite members right now was a bad idea. After all, about a thousand bosses remained on the battlefield.
“It’s fine, Des. Misha and Natalie will take over.”
Des nodded, “Understood. What about you?”
“I can continue fighting since I haven’t gotten a debuff status yet. I’ll join you when I got one,” Sasha winked at the rabbit girl as she sent a friend message to Natalie.
.
[Natalie, where are you?]
While everyone was busy fighting against the kobolds and the black slimes, Natalie was idling around, petting the kobold mercenaries who had doge face.
The scene of a 160cm tall girl with blond hair and a pretty face playing with many cute kobolds was soothing to NPCs and non-combat players. Some of the players took screenshots of Natalie as treasures.
“I’m in the city. Why?”
[I need your help. Bring half of the mercenaries and help us on the frontline.]
“What about the backline and the NPCs?”
[I’ll send Des, Non, and Moo to replace you. They are no longer in a good shape to continue fighting. Come here and farm some free attributes, or you’ll miss out a lot. Moo’s overall strength is already over 30,000 now, and I’m 25,000ish. You and Misha are the only ones falling behind.]
“Okay! I’ll be right there!”
Hearing that they got free attribute points from killing bosses, Natalie rushed to battle along with a thousand kobold mercenaries.
.
.
Moo, Non, Des, and Sasha were not the only ones reaping all the profits. Shurka, who had been stealing loots left and right, had already collected 500 status orbs.
One should know that a status orb could bestow 100 free allocable attributes. Having 500 was the same as having 50,000 overall strength!

Tama glanced at Misha’s overall status.
Something absurd happened to her subclasses as there were 4 new jobs appeared on the list. Moreover, her overall status increased by a lot, including the sudden boost of her level.
Moreover, one of her former subclass, Apprentice Mafioso, changed to Journeyman Mafioso.
The sudden upgrade confused Tama.
*Mrrr?* (What did this banana do in her mind space? Why is she suddenly getting stronger?)
As Tama pondered, she maneuvered Misha’s body to dodge another crescent-shape wind, which was a sword wave attack from a converted slime knight.
*Meh* (Kill them faster, banana Mish!)
After Tama complained, Misha regained her senses.
“I’m back! Fireball!”
A fireball landed in the middle of the kobold knight group of three.
4,005!
*Mew* (Again! Just critical for once!)
“I’m trying!”
They dodged three sword waves from the knights, waiting for the cooldown to reach zero.
“Fireball!” Misha shouted as soon as the cooldown timer was over.
*BOOM*
A critical occurred this time. Misha’s 35 Luck was useful for once.
Explosion! 100,132!
Explosion! 100,132!
Explosion! 100,132!
All three kobolds received the exploding effect of Misha’s basketball-size fireball. Their HP reduce by a third, but they were still not dead.
Misha chose not to attack them by possessing them directly this time. As these slimes had evolved, she played it safe by not fighting in an unfavorable battleground.
She planned to kill them normally and drag them into her home field, where she had the total advantage over the invaders.
*BOOM*
Explosion! 100,132!
Explosion! 100,132!
Explosion! 100,132!
Another explosion critical occurred. Now, Misha needed one more hit, and this group of three knights would be dead.
As she was busy dealing with difficult opponents, another slime knight joined the battle.
It was Benz Deauc.o.c.k, the first converted knight.
“Found you, imposter! For the glory of-!”
“Oh, shut it! Allure!”
>
>
Deauc.o.c.k’s action paused as he was in a daze. An abnormal status effect, [Charm], floated above his head.
Seeing that her skill successfully inflicted a status effect, Misha commanded Deauc.o.c.k.
“Beat your friends half-dead and kill yourself!”
Since the effect lasted only 130 seconds, it was better to send this guy to his death. As for the reason why Misha did not want Deauc.o.c.k to kill his friends, she did not want him to steal her precious last shot.
After all, kill-shots would give her more EXP when she successfully slew a boss.
“Yes, my lady!”
Surprisingly, Deauc.o.c.k followed Misha’s order and launched a sword wave attack on the three knights.
*SWUA*
50,000!
50,000!
50,000!
Upon receiving the damage, the converted knights had less than 50,000 HP, which could be killed with another sword wave.
“What are you!?”
“Traitor!”
“This fool has joined forces with the imposter! Kill!”
The three knights turned toward Deauc.o.c.k and unleashed their skill as well. Each of them sent a sword wave at the charmed knight.
50,000!
50,000!
50,000!
Deauc.o.c.k’s HP dropped by half. Also, the [Charm] abnormal status wore off after he was attacked by his friends.
“Huh? What did I do?”
The three knights bellowed at Deauc.o.c.k, “You fool! You were charmed by this thot! Stop attacking us!”
“What!?”
Everyone turned toward Misha.
At that moment, they knew that something was terribly wrong.
Three fireballs floated around Misha as she had been gathering them while Deauc.o.c.k and others were fighting.
“NO! KILL HER BEFORE SHE USES THOSE!”
Four slime knights launched their sword attacks. Four crescent wind slashed through Misha’s body!
But no damage indicator appeared above her head. Instead, there was another word above her shattered body.
Miss!
“What!?”
Misha’s real body teleported 100 meters away behind these converted players. She had used a villain skill for the first time.

.
The skill was costly as it consumed a lot of her stamina and psych force. Furthermore, it had a long cooldown.
Still, it was useful for escaping or slipping through the net of Misha’s enemies as its effect was similar to a random teleportation button. In addition, Misha could designate her teleportation point, making it easier to use.
Misha flew up as she collected another fireball, planning to bombard the battlefield with as many fireballs she could gather.
Upon getting the 15th fireball, Deauc.o.c.k finally spotted Misha.
“OVER THERE! SHE’S FLYING!”
Not only the knights turned toward Misha, but all slime soldiers also managed to break free from Misha’s puppeteer skill and rushed toward her direction.
Launched from the kobolds and the converted knights, hundreds of sword waves flew toward the fairy overlord in a dragonewt body.
