Misha lost count how many slimes she had killed inside Giles Corey's mind s.p.a.ce.

At first, it was easy since she could just aim using her eyes and snap her fingers, breaking the slime's souls to pieces.

As time pa.s.sed, Misha felt that her power got weaker as she had to snap twice to kill a black slime. Moreover, her soul was getting heavy. It got harder to move around or dodge slime attacks.

30 Minutes into the battle, she managed to come out of the white room as no more slime entered the s.p.a.ce. Upon getting back to her senses, Misha found that Lucien was carrying her body, running away from the battle.

"Misha, woof! Are you alright!?"

She looked left and right in confusion, "Where are we?"

"We're running away from the kobolds for now. You are too weak at the moment."

Misha glanced above her head. She found two abnormal statuses on her character.

[Mentally Exhausted]

[Weaken]

Her HP bar also flashed in red, even though there were 50% HP remaining. However, the avatar's PF was already zero, and it did not regenerate back.

"Aiya!"

Misha recalled what Sasha had warned their guild members about these abnormal statuses. Once they showed up, they should stop fighting and retreat as they would not be able to recover their PF.

In other words, the character was out of commission. Continue fighting would be suicide.

"Where are we going, then?"

"We're going back to Volcano Island. You need a rest, so I'll keep you inside my old cave," Lucien planned to hide Misha in the cave where he found the altar and the statue of Misha.

...

As they were fleeing from the horde of kobolds, a flying dragonewt found them.

It was Tama, who was controlling Misha's real body.

*MEW MEOW!!* (BANANA MIs.h.!.+)

Hearing a cat's voice, Lucien turned around to bark by instinct.

"WOOF! WOOF! COME HERE, AND I SHALL TEAR YOU TO SHRED!! WOOF!!"

Misha hammered her fist on top of Lucien's head to silence him. She turned around, attempted to return to her soul into her real avatar in-game.

*BADUMP*

It worked this time. Misha found herself within her mind s.p.a.ce. Fortunately, it was clean, and no black slime was in sight.

Misha heaved a sigh of relief before her avatar regained her conscience.

"I'm back, Tama."

*MEW!!* (WAA! MIs.h.!.+)

As if Tama was a pet who had not seen her master for years, she wailed and hugged Misha's head with 20 of her mini tentacles. As if 20 snakes coiled around the head, the pretty face of Misha became distorted and grotesques. Had regular players seen the current Misha's head, they would have mistaken her for a mutated monster.

Still, Misha did not blame Tama. She patted the eggcat's tentacles.

*Nom-Chub-Chub-Nom*

*Chub-Chub-Nom-Nom*

However, Misha could still hear nom-nom sound from a dozen of Tama's mouths, which was chewing red gels. Those coiling tentacles had not finished eating yet.

The chewing sound ruined their reunion moment, which made Misha laugh.

"Are you going to cry, or are you going to eat?"

*Nom-Nom Mew!?* (Eating, of course! Who's crying? You're crying!)

Tama withdrew back her tentacles into Misha's body. At this point, Misha did not care what happened to her innards or inner organs anymore. After all, this eggcat's ma.s.s should have been as big as her torso.  

Misha moved around her body as if she had not exercised for years. Although the body changing experience was brief, for Misha, it lasted for an eternity.

She opened her status menu by reflex, admiring her game progress.

Misha's eyes almost popped out of the sockets as the increment was insane.

Even though Misha remembered that she had killed many black slimes and devoured their souls, she did not recall that she had slaughtered that many.

"What did you do to my body, Tama?"

*Meh-Heh Mew!* (Non-nom the orbs and nom-nom every status increase items! What else?)

She could not believe what she had seen. The addition of her subcla.s.ses came from all black slime knights, which was understandable. However, 25,000 free attributes came out of nowhere, and Misha could customize her character into an insanely overpowered mage or anything that she wanted to.

Her hands and fingers trembled in excitement. Yet, she could not decide which stat she should allocate.

*Mew* (Let's go with INT-and-WIS-built. We need more PF and fireball power!)

Misha gulped and allocated her free points to her INT, but they encountered a problem.

>

>

>

As soon as Misha saw the notification, she pressed the cancel b.u.t.ton to get back her free attributes.

*Mrrr?* (What's wrong?)

"There's a cap."

After playing this game for a long time, they finally found the limit of their status attributes.

*Mew?* (Then, why don't you add your stats to INT or WIS?)

"I will, but I won't max it now. We can still gain INT and WIS automatically when we gain levels, so we will waste the potential growth if we max it now."

Misha inspected how many attributes she would gain for each level up.

84 Free Attributes,

13 STR,

12 VIT,

32 STM,

31 AGI,

35 DEX,

6 INT,

10 WIS,

2 CHA,

And 2 LEA.

Tama understood what Misha was planning to do, "Are you planning to make our INT 9,520, so we can get the remaining points later?"

Their level was 120, and they had 80 more to increase before they could upgrade their main cla.s.s. Therefore, Misha could save 480 points for other stats.

The same also applied to WIS.

With such calculation, Misha added 1,776 points to INT and 6,945 points to WIS.

There were still 16,996 free attributes remaining. Misha allocated some of them to VIT, increasing it from 1,487 to 9,040.

"VIT, INT, and WIS. What's next? We have 9,443 more points."

*Mew* (Put them to STR! I want to fight too! My tentacles are itching for some action!)

Misha recalled that Tama was acting as their back-up recently after she had started relying on ranged attacks, such as fireb.a.l.l.s or Slicky's acid. If Tama's tentacle strength increased, this eggcat should become a reliable partner in combats in the future.

Thus, Misha's STR changed from 1,332 to 8,960.

1,815 points remaining, Misha tossed them all to LEA, so Wet Banana Guild could hire more mercenaries and NPCs.

Finished the allocation, Misha glanced above her character.

The abnormal statuses were not there anymore. Instead, the soulless character of Giles Corey still had them.

Meanwhile, Lucien looked back and forth between the soulless body of Giles Corey and Misha in confusion. But he was a smart doge-man, so he understood what had happened earlier.

"Oh? Have you gotten back into your real body, woof?"

"Yeah, and you should kill Giles Corey, now."

"Woof? Why?"

"It's going to mutate!"

It was too late for Lucien to react as the mutation had already started.

This phenomenon was the same as someone whose soul had been killed in their mind s.p.a.ce or died when they ventured out of their bodies. Misha had seen the former governor of Mafdet City mutating into a monster before, and Mia's memory taught her that several male child soldiers mutated after Mia killed their souls in his mind s.p.a.ce.

Giles Corey was the same. Although his soul was long devoured by a monster, his body remained intact as Misha and the black slime took over the body temporarily. However, no one was managing it now.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!"

Giles screamed as his muscles bloated and deformed. Lucien had to throw his away and ran toward Misha, seeking her protection.

Misha gathered her power into her eyes and used the hydra's signature skill, Blast.

An invisible cannon punctured through Giles Corey's body!

*BOOM*

50,000!

A fireball followed after the invisible cannonball.

*BOOM*

Explosion! 171,429!

Before Giles Corey could completely evolve, Misha's two-skill combo reduced his 50% remaining HP to zero.

>

>

Misha got no experience reward as her overall power surpa.s.sed the dead monster by over 100.

Still, items dropped from the monster. Tama immediately grabbed a status...o...b.. which rolled on the ground, next to Giles Corey's dead body.

*Mew* (Another orb! Another 100 status points!)

It was a status...o...b.. which was a precious item to all players. 

"So, is this how you get all my stats?" Misha was enlightened.

*Meh-Heh Mew!* (That's right! Praise me, you heathen!)

"Hahaha! My Tama is a G.o.ddess of all banana eggcats!"

*Mew...Mew?* (That's right! Praise me... I'm a banana eggcat G.o.ddess? Wut?)

.

Meanwhile, another Misha was busy with something else.

She looked at all portals, which brought her kobold goons, the black slimes, from the other servers.

Previously, this Misha had used all of her PF, using her telekinesis and bringing 10 million monsters to the sh.o.r.e. She sat still, catching her breath and gazing at the remaining portals.

She had taken too many soldiers with her, and she could not transport all of them to Sanctuary Island with her current power alone.

"This is inefficient," She lamented, "There should be another way to get all of them to the island."

As she was pondering, a sharp pain hit her psyche. Several black slime knights died in succession within a short period.

She turned toward the cause of their death, which was located on the north of the western sh.o.r.e.

"Did they fail?" Dark Misha grumbled, "Useless b.a.s.t.a.r.ds."

She turned toward the remaining kobolds.

Since knights could not take on the players, the horde of 10 million kobolds might fail as well as they were weaker.

'I need stronger monsters, but I can't rely on Lilith's underlings. At this rate, Maou Mia will take over the hardcore server and these casual servers soon. I need to get stronger before the Heavenly Dragon Gathering Festival. I can't lose to those white lizards again!!'

With a thought, she ordered all black slimes within all portals.

"Kill each other and devour everyone's souls. I will reward all champions from every gate! Prove it to me that you deserve my blessing!"

A chaotic roar echoed within all portals as the controlled kobolds began hacking each other.

…

Hours later, a kobold walked out of one of the gates. A total of 18,000 monsters came out, and the portal behind them closed itself. 

10,000 Black slimes merged into one, creating a monstrous humanoid fighter. Their name was no longer simply [Kobold] anymore. Each of them became [King Kobold], which had a power scale of 100,000 instead of 10,000.

Moreover, their name flashed in a rainbow color, signifying that they were not ordinary monsters nor field bosses. But their rank was a world-boss cla.s.s, which was the same tier as Katia or Meimei.

Dark Misha smiled in satisfaction. She opened her VIP inventory and pulled out a vitamin drink to recover her PF.

'Good. First, I'll get rid of all NPCs in the game. Then, I'll send all players to the hardcore server. After that, I'll be able to find that imposter and take my memory fragments back before the other wannabes get the same idea!'

This adult Misha was not the only one who possessed the mysterious [Misha Bloominglily's Memory Fragment]. There were 4 other fragments, which she was not sure if someone might consume it and mistook their ident.i.ty as [Misha Bloominglily]. Before that happened and complicated the situation, she planned to take all of them back to strengthen her power.

'I AM THE REAL MISHA! NONE OF YOU ARE ME!!'
