As much as Bu Dong and Deng Long wanted the shot to be fanciful, it was in fact quite a placid and brutal scene when Mechataur squeezed the trigger on the Rail Gun. However, both of them could not deny the monstrous power of the weapon once they watched a piece of the metallic projectile visibly pierce through the Ooofpa Loopa's mutated head, unveiling the sky behind it.
Its hit points directly plummeted from twenty odd percent down to a single digit. Following the laws of nature, the abomination giant's few remaining hit points also quickly dissipated as it bled to death, painting the sea underneath it green.
An announcement resounded far and wide once the health reached the zero value, breaking the health bar. The Southern Ooofpa Loopa had finally been destroyed. Yet the Raid Instance did not put out a congratulations sign which indicated that the raid instance was far from over.
"You are kidding, right? We still have to deal with the b.u.t.t a.s.s problem right above us?" Luo Bo questioned and the rest were similarly disappointed at that realisation.
"At least it's just a b.u.t.t, we should be able to clear it quickly." Xiong Da said as he ordered the trucks to re-equip the missiles so that they could use them to launch the missiles against the third and final Ooofpa Loopa.
"Still, we cannot forget the boss' mechanics if we want to fight against it." Bu Dong cautioned them through the Pandawan Channel as he had to kick the door of the c.o.c.kpit down in order to open it. Despite the death of the Southern Ooofpa Loopa, its tentacles remained intact and because they had penetrated through the essential wires that provided power into the c.o.c.kpit, the entire robot was shut down. Even the backup generator had been busted, leaving them to forcefully open the c.o.c.kpit with their legs.
"I don't know about you, but I'm so tired after the two consecutive fights. Can't they throw us a bone and just call it a win?" Luo Bo complained but she still took a deep breath before gathering her chi once to try aiming at the Ooofpa Loopa's b.u.t.t with her bow.
"Well, we can either rest up now and wait for the descent of the b.u.t.t or we can destroy it before the ugly beast appears entirely on the raid." Xiong Da suggested, yet at that moment there was a crackle on the channel.
"HAIIII GUYS!! Do not fear as your saviour is here!"
Luo Bo had nearly released her energised bow due to shock as there was a cute little voice coming out from the centre of Demopolis City even though it later became a deafening echo going through their ears. Out from nowhere, a spiralling concrete emerged from the centre and had instantly captured the attention of the hundreds of Pandarens in the middle.
"You mean your saviours, right?" Just as the concrete stopped rising after a suitable height, all of the Pandarens were able to see a bright enigmatic duo standing at the top of it with lights shining upon them. (They had no idea where the lights came from.)
"Demon Queen of Explosions, Peppers!" The Mage Bellator struck a cutesy pose as she announced herself.
"The Beautifully Angelic Goddess, Milk!" The Priest Bellator followed suit, but it was obvious from their performance that they lacked a certain synergy.
"Dungeons and Pandas' favourite employees are here to save you guys from devastation!" The duo spoke in tandem in such a cheesy manner that Hou Fei who was watching the scene from the Southern Walls could not help but laugh at the cringy combo.
In the meantime, the rest of the Pandarens were staring at them awkwardly, especially because their appearance had shattered the serious weary atmosphere of the Raid Instance. Only then did they remember that Boss Jin's store was famously filled with wacky stuff.
"I told you this would not work." Peppers whispered to Milk upon looking at the baffled crowd of customers but she had forgotten that the communication channels were still open.
"Shhh! We are still live on the channels!" Milk replied back in an annoyed manner and yet the Pandarens continued to hear their squabbles loud and clear.
"What the hell was that stupid fox thinking making us do this now. This was a big mistake, a big STUPID! Argggh whatever!" Peppers complained as she raised her cosmetic staff up instead of her usual wooden one. (The kind where there was lots of black paint to make it all demon-y in the staff's design and a purplish looking heart stone in the middle so that it's still cutesy in nature- totally not Peppers' liking.)
"Ahh.. that rascal of a mage… and Ms Milk is also up there." Xiong Da said out loud in a trance, smiling widely to himself that it somehow caught Ruo Ying's attention.
"Why are you smiling from one corner of your lip to the other so widely?" Ruo Ying questioned her hubby despite already having pulled his ear and he quickly explained that he was merely reminiscing the days when he had first joined Dungeons and Pandas and had the two of them as his instructors. Ruo Ying nearly did not buy it, especially when Milk managed to take a quick look at him and waved at him.
In the meantime, the self proclaimed Demon Queen of Explosions did not waste any time unlike that Goddess Milk trying to curry more favour from the customers. She just wanted things to be over with and claim the reward Kraft had promised them for going into action.
The Original Bellator had watched the Raid Instance play out and he agreed with the opinion of Luo Bo and others, the Mechataur VS the Southern Ooofpa Loopa fight had been the perfect climax. Anything else would just pale in comparison.
Yet just ending things there would have been boring and logical, as such he had spontaneously decided to spice things up by introducing the Demon Queen and Angelic Goddess as a prelude to the next phase of Jin's creation. Their upcoming religious organisation.
While it sadly remained a work in progress, the crafty fox was using this opportunity to gauge the response of the Pandarens and allowing them to be familiar with the Bellators in case they were ever needed to be out in the real world. (If it was not well received, Kraft still found it funny to employ them out of their comfort zones wearing those odd looking yet stylish enough costumes.)
And because this was a Raid Instance and the costumes had kind of sent the impression that these two employees were going to be more of a flashy addition than employing their true powers, the Pandarens did not take them seriously and even thought of them as pure entertainment.
However, what Peppers was conjuring was her full strength even though they were currently acting as the Demonic Queen and Angelic Goddess. The Pandarens just could not accept the fact that she could conjure an awfully big ball of fiery mass that was capable of detecting the whole of Ooofpa Loopa.
As such they were completely unprepared for when it happened, suddenly getting treated with a firework which Peppers judged as a mere 6/10. "Could be better if it had not just been the b.u.t.t. Meh…still looks good enough for an impromptu blast."
What followed was the congratulations announcement from the System, but before they were sent out, Milk expanded her powers to heal all those that were still alive. (After all, she was presented as the angel, so she got to show the caring side rather than punching the shit out of people. Nevertheless, it was quite an impressive feat despite the fact that the Pandarens thought it was the 'dungeon instance' that had healed them.)
Everyone cheered loudly while some gave a sigh of relief that they had survived what was undoubtedly the hardest Raid Instance they had ever fought in.
To make the scene more memorable, Panda Coins started raining from the aftermath of the explosions which also caused a frenzy among the Pandarens as they desperately tried to grab as many coins as they could.
In addition, the System promised them through the Pandamonium App that the rewards would be more than that rain of coins and every cultivator in the Raid Instance could finally have a breather.
