Anita’s face was glistening with sweat or Amy’s juices. She looked over at Zack with a bewildered expression. Amy took her hand. “Come over here and join me.”
After a moment, Anita slid over. “Fucking harems.” She both frowned and smiled at the same time.
Zack brushed back her damp hair, then ran his fingers over her glistening lips. “Enjoy yourself. We’re altogether in this and no one else has to know what we do here.”
Anita’s face softened. “I’m just not use to letting my guard down like this.”
“You loved being between my legs,” Amy said, stroking Zack’s shaft with a tight grip. “And you’ll love going down on Zack.”
“That’s what I am afraid of.” Anita gritted her teeth. “Fuck it. If I am enjoying myself, then why not dive right into the deep end and drown myself?”
“That’s the spirit.” Amy licked up Zack’s length, her eyes meeting his. “Now get over here and share this sexy beast of a thing with me.”
Zack couldn’t help smiling as Anita awkwardly took turns with Amy in putting his sensitive throbbing head into her mouth, her nose ring tickling his skin. At first, only Amy looked up at him, then Anita worked up the courage and met his eye.
She was fearless in battle, yet love terrified her. Real world women are crazy! I guess that’s why men like me love them so much.
He reached down and stroked her face as her head bobbed up and down. “I love you.”
That made her pause for a few seconds then she blinked her eyes and continued to pleasure him. When Amy took her turn again, Anita moved up and kissed him gently on the lips. “I… I love you too.” She frowned. “But that doesn’t mean I won’t kick your ass if you deserve it.”
“Alright.” He chuckled. “Climb onto my face and let me taste you. Nothing pleases me more than making all of my women scream with joy.”
Anita climbed over him, her smooth, orc sweetness glistening. Her skin might be green-brown but her insides were soft, shiny pink like any other woman. She brought herself down to him and he pleasured her like she had just done him, his tongue sliding over her soft pleasure spots. Gripping his hair, pulling him up into her, she moaned his name. “Zack.”
Amy slipped herself over him and made him enter her as deep as he would go. Then she bounced up and down, laughing like a maniac. “This feels better than slaughtering a room full of goblins and then cutting off their ears!”
When Anita finally came, she exploded all over Zack’s face, her pleasant tasting love filling him with lust. She lifted her dripping self off him. “That’s payback for spurting all over me last time we made love in the bath.”
Zack licked his lips. “Payback accepted. Now get down here and give me more.”
Chapter Forty-Seven
Judgment Day 2.0
Everything was ready for the final confrontation.
Margery had made the potions and buff food to restore the ones they had used (-295 food) and they had eaten 5x of the newly baked bread (+50hp).
The Control Blocker had already been activated and the Containment Core was ready to use as soon as the Janitor showed himself. The Blighted Ent’s head watched on beside all the other major bosses they had killed and best of all…
All Zack’s women were with him. Awake and ready for vengeance.
He sat on the throne in the throneroom, Missy on his lap, her arm draped over his shoulder. To his left, her sword drawn was Betsy and to his right, Amy, her wand gripped in her hands. Standing at the base of the steps leading up to the throne, stood Anita her two-handed sword gripped in both hands.
Now they only waited for the palace doors to open and for the fun to begin.
Margery glanced in from a side door. “Try not to make a mess of the place or you can find someone else to clean up after you.”
When no one responded to her, she pulled up her dress, looked down her nose at them and said, “Young people these days. No respect for their elders.” With that, she returned to her room.
Suddenly, the palace door flew open. Zack gripped the Containment Core tight. The two dead-eyed thugs charged into the room and stood not far from the entrance. Seconds later, the Janitor strode in like he owned the place.
As soon as the black-clad man crossed the threshold, Zack clicked the button on the Containment Core, trapping the three enemies in the palace.
They would never leave here alive.
The doors slammed shut behind the Janitor. The black-clad Monk glanced over his shoulder at the doors, then over at Zack. “You failed my mission.”
Missy kissed Zack on the cheek. “We’re ready, my sweet song. Just tell us when.”
The Janitor sneered. “You almost reached the targets then you came back here to sit on this stupid throne. Why didn’t you follow my orders?”
The resistance decoys must have despawned when they neared the targets.
Zack lifted Missy off his lap and she went and stood beside Betsy, her guitar in her hands, ready to buff them.
“I got rather bored running around like your slave.” Zack pretended to yawn. “I decided to come back here and make every woman in this room scream my name as I made love to them.”
Anita shifted her weight, lifting her sword higher. “I’m done listening to you both talk. Let’s fucking get this over with.”
The Janitor stepped between his two minions and pointed at Zack. “You think I’m playing games? I’ll kill all of you.”
He pointed at Betsy then Amy and Missy. “Eat him alive. Make him scream.”
Amy was the first one to burst out laughing, then the other two joined her. “I’ve already eaten him once today.” Amy rubbed her belly. “Tasted good too. I’m hoping for seconds later.”
The Janitor’s hand slowly started to drop.
Missy strummed a note on her guitar. “We were bathed in his love, our souls singing his praise.”
“What?” The Janitor turned to Betsy, his arm dropping to his side. “Kill him.”
Betsy raised her sword. “No. I love Zack with all my heart and I will die defending him.
The Janitor only stared at them. Then his eyes were drawn to the entrance to Missy’s bedroom and he gasped, “Who the hell are you?”
“I’m a six slingen, sharp shooting centaur. Who the hell are you?”
Then a woman’s voice followed. “I’m Melody One Eye. Zack asked us if we could help him.” She chuckled. “And of course, we accepted. We stand by our friends.”
Kaustubh’s hooves clopped on the floor as he came to stand beside the stairs leading up to the throne, his eyes never leaving the Janitor. “Those two brutes your harem?” The centaur shook his head. “Not my type but each to their own.” He clapped Anita on the shoulders. “Now, here’s a woman. Big, strong, a straight back and encased in sexy, shiny metal.” He let out a heavenly sigh. “She should have been born a centaur.”
Anita didn’t respond. She was ready for battle.
Melody came to stand next to the centaur, pulling him away from Anita. The centaur waved her back. “Don’t make me pull out my gnome to blast you with verbal diarrhea again.”
“Just shut up and get into position,” Melody snapped her sword and shield in hand.
Finally, Zack stood and descended the stairs, drawing his sword and hefting his shield. “Not only did I find a way to stop you taking control of my harem but I also trapped you inside this palace.”
Zack pointed his blade at the Janitor and bared his teeth. “Get. Out. Of. My. Underworld!”
With that, Zack charged right at the Janitor, Missy buffing him with Song of Fury. He smashed the man with Shield Slam right in the face.
The Janitor recovered quickly, bringing out his twin daggers. Both flashed green as he used the Monk ability Stinging Nettle to coat them in poison. Then he leapt away from Zack, as one of his dead-eyed thugs raced toward Anita and the others, the other coming for Zack.
Amy blasted them with Arctic Breath, freezing the first thug in place. All of the DPS foc
used on the frozen enemy. Amy, Betsy, Anita, Melody and Kaustubh. Between the lot of them, the brute went down in less than eight seconds.
By then, the second brute was on Zack. Armed with an iron knuckleduster, he drove his fist against Zack’s shield, pounding the bone-encrusted metal, jolting Zack’s arm.
The thug was an NPC and not any class a player could choose to play, which meant its moves were unknown to Zack. He had to be careful.
Zack tried to keep the brute and the Janitor in front of him, though gave up quickly, as the Janitor continued to try to flank him.
In the end, Zack leapt back then completely ignored the brute. The DPS would handle him.
He went right for the Janitor but the man somersaulted backwards through the air. While he was mid spin, a fan of shurikens flew out of his hands, all aimed at Zack.
They took him all over his body, some bouncing off his armor to minimal damage, others sinking into his flesh. Zack screamed in agony.
-266hp
Real pain came with the wounds. Much like the fairies back in the glowing mushroom cavern, this was not standard issue Aralia Online pain.
“Feel that?” The Janitor said, landing at the front entrance to the palace. “I don’t have to abide by the rules of this game. I am better than all of you.”
Next thing Zack knew, the Janitor was right in front of him, burying his poison coated blades deep into Zack’s guts.
Zack fell to his knees, his field of view flashing red as pain buffeted him. It felt like his insides were being ripped apart. The Janitor twisted the blades around. “Feel that?” He let the handles of the blades go and grabbed Zack under the jaw and made him look up into his eyes. “I fucking eat scum like you for breakfast and with cherry and cream on top!”
Suddenly, a blade tore through the Janitor’s back. He looked down at it, then back up at Zack. “You think I can be defeated this easily? Think again, asshole.”
He threw Zack at Missy. Zack slammed into her, both of them sliding across the ground and striking the lower step.
-144hp
Companion suffered -267hp
Gasping in air, Zack drank a health potion. Then he ripped the blades from his stomach, crying out in pain as he did so. This wasn’t going as well as he’d hoped.
His blood went cold when Anita let out a ghastly scream.
Chapter Forty-Eight
Vengeful Goryō
Zack helped Missy to her feet, her fingers already working her strings as she used Rapid Healing to restore their health at twice the rate. He let her go and started back across the throneroom.
The Janitor held Anita by her neck, her legs dangling a foot off the ground. But something was happening. A golden sphere had appeared around him, protecting him from any damage.
He turned to face Zack, his eyes shining with fel light. “You have awakened my inner chaos and made me more powerful than ever.” The Janitor shook Anita. “Now you shall know my true power!”
The two corpses of the dead thugs started to convulse. A terrible cry erupted from their blood dripping mouths, their gore splattered heads lifting from the floor to scream up at the ceiling.
From out of their mouths came what looked like white mist. Instantly, it formed into two long tendrils that snaked their way toward the Janitor. Zack had no idea what the fuck was happening, but he reckoned that he better do something.
He used his Rapid Advance and charged forward, running right through one of the tendrils and scattering it. He started for the other but by the time he had disrupted it, the first one had reformed. Betsy and Melody raced over to help, though none of them could break the mist apart for long.
Amy tried to freeze it but her spells did nothing.
“Pathetic.” The Janitor threw Anita away like a piece of trash.
She struck the floor and rolled away, her health dangerously low. He walked over to the mist and it coiled around the golden bubble protecting him like constrictor snakes encircling their prey. The bubble disappeared and the mist flew right down the Janitor’s throat.
Zack realized they only had moments to act. If this was anything like a normal boss fight, the Janitor was empowering himself but he was also vulnerable for a short period of time.
“Attack him!” Zack was already racing forward, ready to go nuts with his abilities and burn all his Stamina.
Amy and Kaustubh were the first to strike the Janitor. The man grunted and groaned, then fell to his knees, the mist still flowing from the mouths of the dead thugs and into that of the Janitor.
Just as Zack and Melody reached him, they were thrown back by an invisible force. Zack slid across the ground and came to rest against Kaustubh’s front legs. As he got back to his feet, he watched the Janitor lift his arms in the air and let out a wail of anguish.
Then the black-clad Monk stood, white mist rising from his body like steam. The tendrils of mist had stopped flowing, all of it now inside the Janitor, the bodies of the dead thugs once again resting in a pool of their own blood.
Still wailing in pain, the Janitor’s body began to grow, his muscles tearing through his armor in places. Then his mask fell off, revealing a hideous, twisted face that looked ravaged by leprosy, his body now slightly transparent like a ghost. His teeth grew out of his mouth like fangs, his eyes bulged so large, they looked like they would burst. His wail became deeper and he now stood ten-feet-tall.
“That’s the ugliest god damn thing I’ve ever seen,” Kaustubh said, stamping a hoof.
The Janitor stopped his pained cry and slowly turned to each of them, his misbegotten mouth moving, his tongue visible through the diseased flesh of his cheeks. “I am ascended to undeath. The spirit of vengeance.” His voice boomed off the throneroom walls. “All of you will die.”
He turned to Zack, his translucent fangs dripping vile yellow ichor. “I don’t care who your mother is. My benefactor will find another way to destroy her.”
The empowered Janitor lifted his arms as his fingers turned into long, metal claws. “I will tear your women apart, then I will feed on their flesh.”
VENGEFUL GORYŌ
HP: 15000/15000
Epic music began to play in Zack’s ears, much like the soundtrack that played in some raid dungeons. Zack’s heart pounded as he braced himself for what came next.
Had the Janitor—now the Vengeful Goryō—just become a raid boss? The G Man said nothing about this…
The Vengeful Goryō turned to Amy. “You shall die first.”
Amy laughed at the empowered Janitor as he raced toward her. Zack screamed her name, begging her to run. But she didn’t hear or didn’t listen.
She lifted her finger and her wand, then a wall of ice encased her. The Janitor slammed into it, his claws flailing. Every time he swung his giant arms, a deep whoosh sounded, the after image of the claws trailing after them.
In his terror, Zack had forgotten Amy had Ice Barrier. But the spell wouldn’t last long.
He charged the empowered Janitor from behind, striking him with Shield Slam, then Demon Strike.
Inflicted 196 damage
Melody came up next to him, using her own non Aralia Online abilities. Then Betsy was there, her attacks buffed by Blade Fury.
The Janitor spun around and backhanded Melody, sending her flying. He slashed at Betsy, almost impaling her on his claws. She leapt back, her eyes wide.
Zack drove his sword into the Vengeful Goryō’s ethereal stomach, the blade sinking in an inch but drawing no blood.
Inflicted 102 damage
Melody and Betsy had done far more damage than him, but they could not risk sticking close to the Janitor when he was so fast and unpredictable. Unlike a normal raid boss, there was no way to tank him, as he was a human in control of an in game avatar—just one who lived by his own rules rather than the game’s.
The claws arced toward Zack.
He managed to block all but one of them on his shield, the last tearing a hole into the back of his arm and inflicting a shallow flesh
wound.
-67hp
Zack used his shield’s special ability, the spectral arms reaching out and clawing at the Janitor. It seemed to take him by surprise and he somersaulted backward, once again unleashing a flurry of shuriken, striking all of Zack’s companions to -89hp each.
Amy’s Ice Barrier had worn off and she started blasting the Janitor with her spells again. Zack stood protectively in front of her as the Vengeful Goryō raced back at them. “Get out of here, Amy. Run!”
She didn’t listen to him, instead, she redoubled her efforts.
Then Anita flew in from the side and slammed right into the Janitor, knocking him off course. His charge took him past Zack and Amy and he slammed into the wall beside the throne with a loud thud. He staggered around, like he was in a daze.
Zack, Anita and Melody were on him before he could recover. They hacked and slashed, cut and ripped, tearing ragged chunks out of his diseased semi-translucent flesh, Kaustubh firing stones with his slings and bruising the Janitor’s empowered flesh.
Amy buffed herself with Frenzied Ice and used everything she had, inflicting devastating DPS.
Betsy got in amongst them, inflicting her own nasty damage.
The Janitor broke out of his daze and slashed with his claws. They sank into Melody’s side and she was lifted off the ground and hurled away.
Then a claw caught Betsy and she too was thrown aside. That left only Zack and Anita.
Zack used Shield of Stone, remaining where he was and throwing out everything he had in the seconds before the Janitor attacked him. Anita backed off, dodging a massive claw swipe that tore past her face.
Zack shoved forward with his shield, trying to pin the empowered Janitor to the wall, even if only for a few seconds. The Vengeful Goryō writhed, reaching around to impale Zack from both sides. Zack dropped to the ground and the claws sliced through the air above him. Then he threw himself up, thrusting his sword into the Janitor’s inner thigh, hoping to get bonus damage from striking an artery.
