VRMMO: World's First Glyphborne-Chapter 73: Qwest!

When he wasn’t being a total idiot with his character decisions, Saige actually showed off the skills and expertise that came with a life of E-sports, as well as the little thing known as research.

Shedding his persona, at least for the time being, Belladonna was led through the city with her brother and his fiancé as they carried out a variety of standard quests that he had specifically picked out for them.

Some were repeatable ones, go here and kill this or collect this. Standard quests that had Saige muttering about ’Boar Butts’ which went completely over Belladonna’s head. But regardless, she was enjoying herself and even levelled up a few times, giving her a few more points to even out her stats.

There were other quests that didn’t involve collecting ’Boar Butts’ and could only be completed once. In fact they were currently on one now and, while they were actually fighting a Boar, it was not for the task of mindless grinding. It was actually a quest that Saige had received randomly, as a Divine Decree from their God.

A Divine Decree was naturally something that was exclusive to clerics, who served Gods. They would occasionally receive certain quests that were auto accepted. Failure to complete them was punished through various means, including losing levels or access to certain spells for a period of time as their God became angered by their failure.

But success in these quests offered good rewards in terms of their class stat, known as [Devotion]. The only other way Cleric players knew to increase it was by praying, which barely increased it, and by acting in ways befitting of their God.

It was also the most volatile, as it could easily drop in more ways than just failing quests. For example, if you served the God of Justice, then carrying out acts that were deceitful or unjust, such as random murder and violence, would decrease the Devotion stat.

If it got too low, one would completely lose the class or could even be smited, in rare cases. Still, even with these possibilities, Cleric was still seen as a relatively easy class to learn and grow and was seen as much better than Belladonna’s ’Maso-class’ that involved much more hard work and offered less reward.

"Bell! Watch your DPS, you’re going to OT again. Lilith, recast the taunt to make sure that doesn’t happen." Saige shouted to them, completely devoid of his persona as his adorable, androgenous face took on a serious and stoic expression.

"Right!" They both replied in unison. As Belladonna leapt backwards, assisted by a few puffs of fire from the soles of her feet, Lilith’s eyes glowed a deep crimson. A dark and almost malevolent aura emanated from her body before it lunged towards the Boar and wrapped around it.

The beast in question was not any ordinary Boar. The hunch of its back, the tallest point on its body, was over a head taller than even Lilith and it’s massive body was covered in pitch black fur. It was closer to a Rhino or an Elephant than a boar, and had two sets of tusks instead of just the one.

One set curled backwards like the tusks of an Elephant. until their points were directed towards its own eye. These one’s it used like a shield, smacking away Belladonna whenever she got close or deflecting Lilith’s sword. The other set was much more aggressive, pointing forwards ready to gore whatever it charged towards.

And whatever it charged towards at this moment just so happened to be Lilith.

When the malevolent energy took hold over the Black Behemoth as its beady eyes flashed crimson for a moment. It stopped turning towards Belladonna and once more locked its gaze on Lilith. It immediately charged, aiming its tusks towards the exposed midriff, the perfect place to spill guts.

Lilith stabbed her sword into the ground and thrust her hands forwards, letting the defensive tusks slam into them. Her feet dragged furrows through the dirt as she was forced backwards, but her bulging arms rippled as her muscles were more than just for show, even if they looked good on show.

The pointed tusks scrapped against her abs, yet they refused to pierce through as if she was actually wearing armour.

Naturally, that wasn’t just because of her abs of steel. It was all thanks to her sub-races ability. Lilith was actually a succubus, which gained the unique ability of spreading the durability of their armour across their bare skin. Perfect for a race that wanted to be skimpy.

Usually, this would have been for the classic armour bikini, making sure they weren’t completely exposed while being... completely exposed. But Lilith had a very different idea of the seductive succubus.

"Come on you stupid pig! Time for you to become bacon!" She roared at the top of her lungs as her muscles bulged even more. The boars enormous body slowly lifted off of the ground, much to its surprise as its stubby little legs wiggled in the air.

With another roar, Lilith threw the Boar onto its side and held it down by its tusks.

At the same moment, a white light gently engulfed Belladonna as her body flooded with a feral power. Her fingernails grew into large claws, but not the claws of her own partial transformation. This was a buff straight from the Beast God Cleric.

In the blink of an eye Belladonna moved, appearing at the belly of the beast faster than even she expected, before her hands blurred. Her claws tore at the boars belly, forcing it to let out panicked squeals of pain.

Only once its thick hide was weakened enough, did Belladonna finally deal the final blow.

She plunged her hand into its belly, her claws acting like the tip of a spear, and she kept going right up to her shoulder. Her hand slashed around, stirring up its insides, before finally finding the heart.

Before the boar could even hope to stand up, Belladonna ripped out its heart, which was still beating and spurting out streams of blood in her hand. However, even once the beast was dead and bleeding across the grass, the Divine Decree was not complete.

Instead, Saige rushed over and held out his hands, which glowed with the same soft white light, as he searched for something within the body, guided by the instructions of his God.
