Chapter 367: Chapter 270: The Ancestral Cannibal Sister

[Man-Eating Milurit], an adversarial NPC from Dark Souls I, is the hereditary "Cannibal Sister" of the Soulslike series, with one appearing in each generation.

She is almost as tenacious as Patch, but unfortunately, the Cannibal Sister isn’t very popular—though some have already drawn illustrations of her, only divine men can withstand them.

Tami stared at Milurit, wielding a large machete in one hand and a shabby wooden board shield in the other, wearing only a bandeau and loincloth, with her body being rather chubby and misshapen. He felt as if his eyes had taken a critical hit.

To top it all off, she wore a square mask, which gave off a perverted butcher vibe, making one want to ask, "Why is your head so flat?"

His intuition told him almost immediately that the intruder in front of him wasn’t a living being but something akin to a residual shadow.

However...

He stared at her for a long time, then wore a doubtful expression and asked, "She doesn’t seem that strong. Just a bit stronger than a Casas Warrior."

Though her external appearance was indeed intimidating, adventurers had seen scarier things; just a perverted butcher, nothing special.

In this world, strength is what matters. Without it, even if you wear Dragon Hunter Armor, you’ll only be ridiculed.

"You’ll see soon enough. Her scariest aspect isn’t her strength..." the mercenary showed a weary look, glancing at Elsa. "Captain, please, do it again."

Elsa nodded, and immediately engaged Milurit. With her outfit emphasizing intimidation, her defense was no better than a paper-thin layer.

Given her average strength, Elsa easily overpowered her. Soon, a message appeared: [Intruder Defeated].

"Yay!" Tami cheered, but then noticed that everyone else looked even more troubled than before.

What a weird bunch.

With the Cannibal Sister dealt with, the group moved to the cluster of jars, working hard to collect food.

Because of the dynamic difficulty, they hadn’t opened many jars before encountering a Casas Warrior, and the drop rate for attack magic had significantly increased, with their damage and speed much higher than when Tami was alone!

They endured another torturous period, but at least they found some food, though not much, it could restore their stamina.

Tami watched from the side as the group struggled, initially planning to leave after eating and drinking with the mercenaries, but then...

[Red Spirit "Man-Eating Milurit" has Invaded!]

The sudden message stunned the eating and drinking mercenaries, making their faces turn grim once more.

The Cannibal Sister reappeared, but this time, she didn’t swagger over openly and was instead nowhere to be seen.

The longer they couldn’t see the red figure, the more anxious and restless they became, until finally, they heard a "bang" from the ceiling!

They looked up quickly, just in time to see the Cannibal Sister descending from above, her sharp machete aiming straight for a mercenary!

The mercenary screamed and dodged frantically but still got his arm slashed, bleeding profusely. Before the Cannibal Sister could stand her ground, she was smashed dead by a greatsword.

[Intruder Defeated]

"This..." Watching the red spirit slowly disappear and listening to the mercenary’s continuous wailing, Tami slowly understood everything.

"Is this intruder immortal!?"

"Not exactly immortal."

While applying low-tier healing magic on the wounded mercenary, Sali began to explain everything.

"It all started with that bastard named Patch."

"That guy was so convincing, he didn’t even look like a residual shadow. At first, we were all fooled into thinking he was an adventurer who accidentally entered the dungeon."

"He tricked us into thinking there was treasure somewhere, but when we got there, we found the place full of skeleton monsters fused with wheels."

"We lost three teammates—three!—crushed to death."

"But after dealing with the monsters, we did find some treasure... so we still trusted him back then."

"Later, he recommended a few more places, all with powerful monsters and valuable treasures. We almost got used to it. Despite some casualties, we had gains."

"But on the last occasion, he led us to a spacious room and volunteered to go upstairs to activate a mechanism."

"As soon as he triggered the mechanism, the floor collapsed!"

"We fell into a place like a slaughterhouse, badly injured, while that bastard mocked us from above!"

At this point, even Sali couldn’t help but clench his fists, angered just by recalling Patch’s despicable expression.

"After that, we encountered the Man-Eating Milurit, who would relentlessly invade us no matter how many times we killed her. The intervals between her invasions have been getting shorter, there’s no escaping her!"

"She could also suddenly pop out from various corners, unguarded against."

It’s uncertain how many members Light Eagle Group originally had, but judging by the few remaining, they must have endured both physical and psychological torment over the past four days.

"..." Tami had no words. This was indeed a tragic story.

If it weren’t for Patch, they probably wouldn’t have met Milurit.

But then, the name Patch sounded increasingly familiar, as if he’d heard it somewhere before...

Tami suddenly realized, recalling where he’d seen it—on the abandoned wanted list at the adventurer’s guild.
