"Jessica, I remember you have a 'dancer' suit, right?"
Edward asked the clergy girl who was quietly following behind them.
"Yes, that's right …" Jessica was taken aback, not expecting Edward to suddenly talk to her, but she quickly replied. "But that set is just a collection in the collection page, and doesn't have any attribute bonuses."
"Does that dancer outfit look good on it?"
Edward asked.
"Eh, eh, eh?" The girl couldn't keep up with Edward's train of thought and could only answer honestly with a blushing face, "That … It's not a question of whether it looks good or not. The key is that there's too little fabric … No, it's not something that can be worn for others to see!"
As a matter of fact, Jessica had heard other married female Players mention that the set seemed to please their partners, which was why she carried a little curiosity and muddleheaded anticipation to do the collection quest alone.
In the end, after completing the mission and receiving the dancer outfit, the conservative mountain village girl almost fainted from embarrassment when she saw the extremely revealing bikini-like upper body.
With the words, "This dress must not be seen by others!" She didn't dare to leave such an unrestrained outfit in her room, so she could only stuff it at the bottom of her bag (because there was very little fabric, the space it took up was very small). Although she wouldn't actually wear it because it was embarrassing, the equipment itself was very beautiful, and the girl quite liked it.
By the way, the item in the male Player's collection page was the corresponding 'Prince's Ceremonial Attire'. While it looked good, it weighed twelve catties with all the accessories, chains, and badges, and was almost a heavy armor. Like the lackluster Murloc Helmet, it was an equipment with its own debuff …
"That's great!" Edward was pleasantly surprised.
His reaction surprised Jessica even more. The girl felt her head was congested to the point of dizziness, and her heart was pounding non-stop …
Could it be that Edward, he--
Edward said, "Give the suit to Joe."
The girl felt her heart stop beating.
Jessica:???
Joe:???
"If I'm not wrong," Edward didn't notice Jessica's weird expression at all, instead smiling as if everything was under his control, "Murlocs probably have a preference for large pectoral muscles … or perhaps they prefer fatter prey. That's why no one else can lure them out. They only respond to Joe! "
Jessica gazed at Joe's muscular chest, lowered her head, and patted her own chest, which made a crisp sound.
[System: Jessica checked her chest but found nothing.]
"…" Jessica immediately showed an expression of extreme remorse.
About ten minutes later.
When Eggface, who was in charge of scouting the murlocs, returned to his temporary hiding place, he saw a stranger among the crowd.
That person was wearing a colorful short skirt that appeared to be woven out of sunglow and was a little translucent, unbelievably light and dreamy. Still, even though it was clearly a one-piece dress, it was much more revealing than the girls on Lancaster's Oriole Street who would flirt with customers.
No, perhaps it could no longer be called a shirt. It was simply two triangular pieces of cloth that covered the important parts connected by a thin string.
And then there were the strong pectoral muscles and chest hair that billowed in the wind.
The person's head was even more dazzling than the most extravagant of crowns. Every jewel upon it was not refracting, but emanating a dazzling and enchanting radiance on its own, with the jewel at the center seemingly containing the vastness of an entire universe. Anyone who stared at it would feel as if they would be sucked in, but it was also adorable because of its exquisite platinum crown.
And then there was the full beard that belied his age on his squarish, angular face.
Every part of that person's body kept changing colors with the light and shadow, as if woven from the clouds in the skies, light and soft, illusory and beautiful, with ribbons that resembled the feather clothes of mythical goddesses hovering behind her. There was clearly no hemline, but the skirt remained fluffy like a whalebone skirt with a high slit on both sides, making one's eyes unable to stop lingering.
And then there was leg hair that billowed in the wind.
"Aaaaah —! Eyes! "Eggface clutched his eyes as he fell to the ground and screamed." My eyes! "
Charle, who was wearing a dancer's outfit, kicked Eggface hard (which caused a -1 to appear above Eggface's head). "Bullsh * t! Don't think I don't know that your pain level is only at 10%!"
Eggface laughed maniacally even as he dodged his opponent's attack. "I can't be the only one blind! I'm going to take a screenshot and post it on the forums! "
"You dare! You're asking for it! " Charle paled in shock and promptly drew out her greatsword to slash at Eggface, who dodged with familiarity while laughing.
Beside him, Jessica's entire body had turned ashen, hugging her knees as if there was nothing left to live for, and merely muttered softly. "… I can't keep this clothes. I'm just a moving wardrobe anyway … "
Although they had yet to test it on the murlocs, the party of elite Players appeared to be on the brink of being wiped out.
"Is this really going to work?"
Because she was still young, Eleena, who did not understand how lethal Charle's dancer's outfit was, looked up and asked Edward curiously.
Edward, who was originally full of confidence, was slightly shaken by the performance of his teammates. "It … It should be fine …"
In the end, Edward decided to give it a try. After all, Charle was already dressed as a woman, and stopping the plan now would only make it seem like he was toying with them.
☆
The murlocs had caught a marine iguana out of nowhere, and were tearing it into mincemeat when a sound attracted their attention.
"Uh-huh ~" Not far away, the muscular crossdresser Charle was twisting his body clumsily, trying his best to act coquettishly. He also followed Edward's instructions and tried his best to show off his large chest muscles. When the murlocs all looked at him, he even added a little something and activated his taunting skill.
But unlike his usual loud roar, this time he pinched his throat and dragged out his tone in a strange and mellow voice. "Son ~ ~ ~ Thief ~ ~ ~"
On the other side, Eggface was already lying on the ground, unable to move. He had a 'no, I'm afraid I'm going to die of laughter here' expression on his face. He tried his best not to make a sound.
Just when Charle thought that his plan had failed and that the murlocs weren't attracted to him, a large group of murlocs leaped up from the ground and rushed towards Charle like a tide. At a glance, it seemed like a third of the murlocs in the Central District were involved in this chase!
"F * ck!" Charle only had time to scream before he turned and ran.
Not long after Charle and the murlocs disappeared from the edge of the platform, Eggface, who had finally regained his mobility, gave Edward a thumbs up and secretly chased after them.
His task was simple: Charle's Dancer outfit didn't buff his speed, and the Spirit Swordsman didn't have many movement skills, so he probably wouldn't last long. What Eggface had to do was to do everything he could to prevent the murlocs from returning to the platform after Charle was killed, and if push came to shove, he had to keep killing the murlocs at the perimeter to weaken them.
After Charle had lured away a third of the murlocs, the murlocs on the platform had scattered and their defensive circle had shrunk by a large margin, allowing Edward and the others to attack the murloc high priest at close range!
Using the corpses of various creatures killed by the murlocs and some rocks as cover, the two slowly approached the murlocs' defensive circle. Once they were certain that they couldn't get any closer, Edward immediately gave the signal to attack.
"Eleena, now is the time!"
Eleena, who was the main attacker, immediately materialized a golden spear and launched an attack at the murloc high priest!
"[Spear of Victory]!"
The golden divine spear streaked towards the high priest like a bolt of lightning!
Even though Charle had lured away most of the murlocs, they were still quite a distance away from the high priest. Neither Edward's magic nor Eggface's arrows could hit the high priest, and only Eleena, who was a Saintess-in-training and had a class bonus, could hit it! That was also why the murlocs had turned out in full force to hunt Eleena down.
Still, a divine spell that required divine power was easily detected by another caster. The moment Eleena materialized her spear, the murloc high priest had conjured a pale-blue hemispherical divine barrier.
Eleena's ambush had been blocked by that barrier as well.
Although they were closer and faster this time, the high priest had correspondingly shrunk the surface area of the barrier in exchange for a faster casting speed and still protected himself — for the murloc high priest, it didn't matter if the other murlocs were sacrificed — it was victory as long as he could survive!
The advantage of less than a second naturally couldn't break through the Murloc High Priest's barrier. The golden spear shattered like glass the moment it struck the barrier, bursting into countless dazzling specks of light.
At the same time, the Murloc High Priest had ordered the other murlocs to attack the two ambushers.
And yet, thanks to the countless shards of golden light, the Murloc High Priest didn't notice that there was a red and white orb hidden within Eleena's divine spear!
The orb pierced through the barrier that the Murloc High Priest used to block divine spells, exploding into a curtain of white smoke the moment it hit the ground!
The surrounding murlocs were all stunned, unable to react for a moment.
And in the very next instant, Croakatoa the frogman had darted out of the smoke with the sea sapphire it had snatched from the Murloc High Priest!
"Joe's dead in battle!" Edward, who could observe his teammate's condition quickly shouted at Eleena, who was still swinging her meteor hammer (bible). "Prepare to retreat!"
"Croakatoa, come back!" Eleena yelled at Croakatoa.
But Croakatoa was already surrounded by the murlocs and out of the range of the girl's follower system, so there was no way to retrieve him.
Determination flashed in Croakatoa's eyes when he saw that. He was no longer in a hurry to run, and simply stuffed the sea sapphire into his mouth, craning his neck and swallowing it with a gulp.
"Croakatoa —!"
