Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 907: Chapter 906: I Never Lose When My Theme Song Is Playing

If we exclude all those nonsensical, overly dramatic remarks, Black Cat’s strength is undeniable.

This is also the reason why Fang Zheng brought her along. It’s not just because Black Cat promised to wear a maid outfit to make the bed and serve tea, but also because of her prowess and consistency in this aspect... If it were another girl, she might get too excited and make mistakes, and with mistakes come trouble.

But Black Cat is different. When she needs to be dramatic, she’s dramatic; when she needs to fight, she fights, seamlessly switching between indulging in herself and battling enemies without any delay.

To be honest, to be as overly dramatic as Black Cat is a kind of talent.

Fang Zheng even wonders if she’ll be able to adapt to society after leaving this game.

But at least for now, she’s doing quite well.

”Boom!!”

Husky collapsed on the ground, and without hesitation, Black Cat spun her scythe and slashed down at Husky with graceful, swift movements—a sight to behold.

The scythe is a difficult weapon to use; Fang Zheng himself doesn’t particularly like it and prefers the combination of a greatsword and a short spear. But it turns out that interest is the best teacher. Ever since obtaining the Blade of Funeral from Fang Zheng, Black Cat has practiced day and night, even training alone in her free time. If she has questions, she’ll ask Fang Zheng, and then verify her skills while leveling up. After so many days, Fang Zheng feels that Black Cat’s mastery of the Blade of Funeral is catching up to that old hunter named Gehrman. Given a bit more practice, they might be on par.

In a year or so, if Black Cat were to battle Gehrman with the Blade of Funeral, she might even completely dominate him.

However, Husky is a Second Phase BOSS transformation, not a real husky. It’s not going to sit there stupidly letting Black Cat attack. When Black Cat struck down with her scythe, its stagger ended, and it immediately retaliated with a swipe towards Black Cat. Black Cat leapt back to dodge, once again gripping her scythe to sweep at the incoming claws.

”Bang!!”

With the sound of impact, Black Cat’s swinging scythe struck directly on Husky’s sharp claws, both sides quivered slightly. Black Cat flew back and landed on the ground while Husky froze, ceasing its movements temporarily. But soon, it recovered and lunged at Black Cat again.

This time, however, Fang Zheng stood in its path, swiftly swinging his pitch-black greatsword to send Husky reeling back.

”Prepare to recover, fight! Yuna, change the song! Start healing!”

Fang Zheng cleaved again, making Husky stagger once more, simultaneously issuing orders calmly. Upon hearing Fang Zheng’s command, Yuna did not hesitate to change to another song—unlike the previous energetic melody, this one sounded as warm as the sun. At the same time, yellow musical note symbols appeared on everyone’s bodies again.

Moreover, the most important part, including Black Snow Princess, was the surprising discovery that everyone’s health was slowly recovering!

Is this also the effect of singing?

At this moment, Black Snow Princess’s expression watching Yuna turned complicated with a twinge of regret—why did she insanely agree to let Yuna leave the Dark Nebula and join the Dark Moon Sword Guild? A player capable of taunting and healing, Black Snow Princess never knew existed! In their guild, players with singing skills only added a few buffs; healing and taunting weren’t in their repertoire!

Yet now isn’t the time to lament or regret. Black Snow Princess quickly picked up her rapier and decisively gave orders to her subordinates.

”Recover your health; the squad with full health, get ready to join the battle!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Black Snow Princess raised her rapier, turning it along with herself into a bolt of lightning, charging at Husky.

At this moment, Black Snow Princess finally showcased her prowess as the head of the Dark Nebula Guild, thrusting her rapier at lightning speed, swiftly cutting a portion of Husky’s health.

Quite fast.

Watching Black Snow Princess’s maneuvers, Fang Zheng nodded silently to himself. As the guild leader, Black Snow Princess indeed had some skills; this technique and speed could put her in the raid group within the Dark Moon Sword Guild.

However, she’s still somewhat behind compared to Yuki.

Currently, in the Dark Moon Sword Guild, Yuki has the fastest attack speed, followed by Asuna. Fang Zheng himself doesn’t pursue speed; his greatsword relies more on reaction, somewhat akin to Black Cat.

”Awoooo... Awoooo!!”

Even though it lost Yuna’s ”taunt,” at this moment, Husky was obviously entirely drawn to Fang Zheng and Black Cat. It swayed left and right, leaped, and swung its paws to attack both of them. But, of course, Fang Zheng and Black Cat were well prepared for this level of attack.

”So amazing...”

A player recovering nearby couldn’t help but exclaim as they watched the two figures battling the enormous Husky from afar. The other players around him nodded in agreement.

Fang Zheng and Black Cat didn’t intend to completely kill this BOSS; that’s unrealistic. The BOSS’s second phase transforms with full health. If this were the real world, one could slit its throat or pierce its heart in one stroke, Fang Zheng wouldn’t mind finishing it with Black Cat’s support. But this is a game world, where life and death are determined entirely by data. Even if you slit its throat a hundred times, you wouldn’t knock off a sliver of its health in this scenario. Fang Zheng wouldn’t waste time playing heroism.

Therefore, he mainly focused on Black Cat and himself blocking Husky and making it stagger, to buy time for other players to enter the field.

This is also why Fang Zheng let other guilds join the raid. The Dark Moon Sword Guild is formidable, but often strength in numbers is most crucial.

With the combined strength of Fang Zheng and Black Cat, completely defeating this Husky is impossible, but blocking its attacks is doable.

Not to mention, the two of them are perfectly coordinated.

”Roar!”

Husky swiped down, and Fang Zheng quickly retreated while his greatsword suddenly elongated and slashed across Husky’s forepaw, causing it to stagger again. Fang Zheng then swiftly retreated, and at the same time, Husky’s mouth snapped open, lunging toward where Fang Zheng had been standing.

Just then, Black Cat leaped up, her scimitar glowing with sword light, piercing Husky’s head, interrupting its attack again. Flipping around, she quickly reinserted the scimitar back into her long handle, reverting it into a scythe.

Meanwhile, Fang Zheng stood up again beside Black Cat. Their movements were so immaculate as if they had just finished fighting as protagonists in an animated film, striking a pose. Combined with Yuna’s soaring song, it gave the impression of a male and female protagonist battling the final BOSS—just like the movie’s grand finale.

But apparently, the interaction between the two sides wasn’t as harmonious.

”Black Cat.”

”Hmm? What’s up?”

”I told you not to use those flashy moves.”

”But they look cool, right?”

”Yes, very cool. And I saw it, you’re not wearing safety shorts, are you?”

”..........huh?”
