Second Life: Welcome to Gaia

Chapter 58: Moby Dick

The party members went to the storage cave full of dead cockroaches to open the wooden chests with the keys dropped by the boss.

Ye Yan followed his friends in a good mood despite the place he is going, because he had finally leveled up again.

When he started to fight the last boss, he needed just one experience point to level up, and as the boss gave them 500 points the experience, 50 after being divided among ten players, he leveled up and has 49 of the 6,000 points he needs for the next level. 

In Second Life, players need a lot of experience points to level up and as the low-level monster gives few points of experience, it is hard for players to level up. It may take days for players to level up, even in the first levels. 

Ye Yan distributed the three base points and one skill point he got for leveling up. Three points are not many but can help a lot at this stage of the game when pieces of equipment give few base points.

Ye Yan followed his friends happily until his serene expression disappeared and his mouth started to twitch. 

Even if he can stay near enough of them to kill now, he still doesn't feel well seeing so many cockroaches. His stomach started to feel upset as soon as he saw the dead cockroaches scattered on the ground.

While Ye Yan was trying to keep the taste of the cockroaches away from his mind, his friends started to open the wooden chests.

Inside the first chest, they found dresses and skirts. In the second, there were panties of all colors. And the third chest contained only a suspicious leather whip with no attack power.

Every wooden chest they looked at until now contained useless things that the boss should be keeping locked like this because of shame.

Finally, on the last wooden chest they opened, they found many potions inside. But sadly, they were quest items they need to hand to the NPCs. 

This dungeon really made them mad. First with the red coral and the locked chests. Later they had their hope up when they found the keys for it to tuned out a joke. Really hateful.

And Ye Yan chooses this time to tell others about the title he acquired. He thought nothing about the chests being full of useless things or about the red coral, so he didn't think that his friends would be mad about it too. 

Now that they had completed the dungeon, Ye Yan thought it would be the best time to tell them. 

Maybe his brain didn't work well because of the dead cockroach's presence, making him forget the reason why he didn't tell them in the first place. 

When Ye Yan told them about his title, his friend looked at him with so much resentment that he almost could feel it on his skin.

"Sorry." Ye Yan said, thinking they were angry because he didn't tell them sooner. Found nothing in the chests isn't something so important for them to be mad at it after all.

What he didn't understand is that the sum of everything is more them enough to make them mad. It is like someone constantly shows you a delicious cake, asks you if you want some, and later everything falls to the ground before you have the chance to get a taste.

Arshadalon took the Return Scroll from Ye Yan, which he received from the soldier that led them there, for them to return to the boat. After that, they gave a cold shoulder to Ye Yan and activated the Return Scroll.

Conan and Demon Fox just look at it thinking of how low Ye Yan's EQ (emotional quotient) is.

When they got back on the boat, they handed the potions to the soldier, completing the dungeon quest and receiving 50 experience points of experience each.

Now they only need to dive into the water again to restart the dungeon.

After this first experience doing an underwater dungeon, they decided to take it to step by step, challenged a new difficult mode every time, until they each the Hell Mode.

Their levels are higher than when they challenge the White Birch Mountain Forest but this dungeon is harder and they need to get a little more experience with this kind of battle. Thus they entered the dungeon again and again until they finally could challenge the Hell Mode.

When they dived into the water this time, they chose the Hell Mode and soon noticed that the water was getting cloudy the deeper they went. 

As the visibility was low, hello Kitty used Cast Light to help them find their way into the dungeon.

They first defeated the penis fishes that seemed to be using steroids. They were stronger and could spite the poisoned needles faster them in the other difficulty modes.

When they got to the first boss, they used the strategy though by Ye Yan. Ashardalon was defending and attacking using his shield and I Love Sooma was helping him like a submarine's engine and propeller, pushing him in the boss direction, using his skill [Burst of Speed].

With this combination, the attack power of Ashardalon increased a lot and he had an easier time defending. This combo move, plus the attacks of the other members of the party, helping them defeat the boss in less time they have thought they would take.

When they got to the second boss, the battle was harder than against the Gigantic Wicked Turtle. 

This time, they were fighting against Moby Dick, a very fierce monster with 10 meters (32.8 ft) length total and a 2-meter length head.

They started attacking the Moby Dick as they had done before. Ye Yan tanked the huge thing like he has done against the Goblin Shark inside the mini-dungeon, dodging the boss at the last moment, when it is attacking, kicking it to deal damage and get away from the boss.

The others started attacking after Ye Yan signaled them, casting a myriad of ice spells and hitting it using slashing attacks.

If Spell Bound were there, he would be thinking that the developers of this dungeon should have a phallus obsession or something like that. 

This boss is agile and can spite acid from the opening on its head. But every time he tried to pee on one Ye Yan, he dodges it and slashes the boss with his fan.

The battle against Moby Dick was a little harder because of the boss's speed, which enables it to dodge many physical attacks. However, with Ye Yan's underwater dodging ability, he took little damage and the doctors could concentrate on the melee classes that were damaged by Mody Dick when the boss hit the players near it while fighting Ye Yan.

The melee players need to get near the boss to fight, but as the boss keeps moving, they are often hit by it.

While the melee players were having a hard time, the ranged classes were easily casting spells and firing arrows on the boss.

One time, Harpy, by a stroke of luck, fired an arrow that entered through the opening on the boss's head, dealing five times more damage than the normal damage of the skill.

When it happened, all the male players, unconsciously, covered their weak parts, while their bodies trembled and their body hair stood on end.

After seeing it, they speed things up, to kill the boss as fast as possible. Have to fight Mody Dick was bad enough without seeing this cruelty. 

After Moby Dick went berserk, its speed and strength increased. Ye Yan and the ranged players almost don't feel difference, but the melee had to play hit and run, or they would die.

The battle take a little longer but soon, Ye Yan activated Lucky Hit and gave a finishing blow using Bash, dealing a huge amount of damage and killing the boss.

[1] Moby - adj. Large, immense, complex, impressive

[2] Phylum Priapulida was named after priapus, the god of animal and vegetable fertility. In Greek religion, he is the son of Dionysus, the wine god and his mother was either a local nymph or Aphrodite, the goddess of love. His cult was originally in Asia, in the Hellespontine regions, centering especially on Lampsacus. He was represented in a caricature of the human form, grotesquely misshapen, with an enormous phallus. The ass (an animal of the horse family, which is typically smaller than a horse and has longer ears and a braying call) was sacrificed in his honor, probably because the ass symbolized lecherousness and was associated with the god's sexual potency.
