After Maxing out all Classes

Chapter 874: I Am a Priest, a Very Lazy Priest

The Fire magician was taken aback, curious as she inquired, “How do you plan to deal with this? Are you going to make it ‘fall in love’ with you like a succubus? Well, personally, a succubus at least has a humanoid form, and you can somewhat manipulate it that way. But making a stitched abomination ‘fall in love’ with you, isn’t that a bit… well, strange? Anyway, I definitely don’t want a stitched abomination to fall in love with me, absolutely not.”

Robb, in a hushed tone, chuckled, “I don’t want it to fall in love with me.”

The Fire magician asked, “Then what’s your plan?”

Robb replied, “I’m going to punch it to death!”

The Fire magician: “…”

She wanted to make a sarcastic comment, but she wasn’t sure which direction and angle to start from.

Witnessing Robb stand up, pat his rear, and walk out of the small cave where they were all hiding, into a fissure bathed in red light, confidently striding towards the stitched monstrosity.

The Fire magician felt quite awkward and turned to Suofa and Xuelu, saying, “Hey, isn’t your priest just risking his life? Are you just going to stand there and watch? Should we wake up Chris and everyone else to confront this stitched abomination together?”

Suofa and Xuelu remained composed, stating, “No worries, let’s enjoy the show. Let them rest a bit longer. Besides, we’re too lazy to intervene.”

The Fire magician: “…”

She discreetly conjured a fireball in her palm, ready to throw it at any moment. She also made up her mind that if anything seemed off, she would immediately wake up Chris.

Robb strolled confidently to the front of the stitched monstrosity, standing his ground!

The stitched abomination immediately caught the “scent of humans,” its pair of sickly green eyes lighting up in excitement. As a creature sewn together from human remains, it would eagerly dismember humans it found, throwing the body parts into the openings on its abdomen to incorporate them into itself.

This repulsive creature had a low intellect and didn’t ponder why humans were in such a perilous place. Emitting a horribly unpleasant wheezing sound, it raised the severed limb blade in its right hand and charged toward Robb.

The Fire magician’s heart raced to its limits. She knew how formidable the stitched abomination was. Even from a dozen yards away, it possessed the power to kill. Its body emitted a continuous green poisonous mist, with toxicity comparable to the venom of a Desert Kingdom witch doctor. It was beyond the capability of a high-ranking priest to cure.

The stitched abomination closed in on Robb, its toxic fog enshrouding him before it even reached him.

The Fire magician thought, [He’s a priest after all. He should at least cast a detoxification spell on himself at a time like this.]

However, to her surprise, something unexpected happened. Robb stood still, not moving, not casting any spells. The poisonous mist lingered around him, yet he feigned ignorance, showing no signs of being affected. Clearly, the toxic mist couldn’t harm him; there wasn’t even a trace of poisoning.

The Fire magician’s heart trembled with astonishment.

At this moment, the stitched abomination charged forward, its massive severed limb blade aimed straight at Robb’s face, swinging down fiercely.

The Fire magician jumped in nervous surprise…

Just as she jumped, Robb waved his hand and threw a punch!

“Thud!”

A muffled sound echoed as Robb’s fist, faster than the eye could see, struck the stitched abomination’s chest. Astonishingly, the colossal creature was sent flying backward, crashing into a red-glowing rock wall behind, slowly sliding down and slumping against it, motionless.

The Fire magician: “…”

Robb took out a piece of cloth, wiped his fist, and muttered as he wiped, “Damn, I shouldn’t have tried to show off by punching this thing. It’s made entirely of body parts, so dirty, ugh, my fist is so filthy now. I should have used a weapon, anything would’ve been better than punching. Damn, damn…”

His fist was smeared with some strange green liquid, probably corpse fluids, which was truly nauseating.

Seeing him turn back, Suofa and Xuelu’s faces revealed shock as they both waved their hands, saying, “Don’t come near until you’ve cleaned your hands!”

The Fire magician was sweating, “Hey, isn’t it normal to get a little of this stuff in a battle? I’ve been exposed to even dirtier things. Don’t turn back, now that the stitched abomination has fallen, let’s pursue a bit more and finish it off completely! It’s an undead creature, one punch won’t completely take it down.”

Robb chuckled, “It’s fine, this punch is enough.”

He used water magic to thoroughly clean the dirt off his hands before returning to sit beside the two girls. He even held out his hand for them to smell, saying, “Is it clean now? Give it a sniff, any odor left?”

The two girls leaned in, sniffing at his hand, then stopped, “Next time, don’t use your fist to hit such dirty things.”

Robb pouted, unhappy. In the game, it was fine to punch and defeat even the most disgusting monsters, but the real world was an entirely different story. He had to remember this from now on, so he wouldn’t end up with strange-smelling liquids on his body again.

While the three were concerned about whether Robb’s hand still smelled, the Fire magician continued to keep a watchful eye on the stitched abomination. Being an “undead creature,” it would quickly rise even if it fell. She was worried that it might get up and ambush them. Thus, she remained vigilant, staring at it.

However, as she observed for a while, the creature didn’t move at all. It just sat against the red rock wall, completely still and silent.

“Is it really finished?” The Fire magician couldn’t quite believe it. She approached cautiously, standing at a distance of about sixteen yards from the stitched monstrosity. She didn’t dare get too close directly, as the stitched abomination would release toxic mist within a dozen yards of its vicinity. Humans would be poisoned upon getting close, making it extremely dangerous. However, as she stood at this distance, she noticed that the stitched abomination hadn’t emitted the green poisonous mist again.

“Hmm?” Taking a few more steps forward, she stood right in front of the stitched abomination, carefully examining it. To her astonishment, the creature truly had no signs of life left. It was no longer an “undead” being, but a pile of decomposing flesh.

Robb’s punch not only killed it but also purified it completely, freeing countless tormented souls that had been entangled within.

The Fire magician was greatly shocked. She turned around, gazing at Robb with eyes full of amazement.

The stitched abomination wasn’t a minor creature. It was a high-level magical being that even the Skylark Strike would have to exert considerable effort to deal with, requiring an earth-shattering battle to defeat. Yet, Robb had just thrown a single punch – only one punch.

And after delivering that punch, he was even complaining about getting his hand dirty. How much at ease was he?

She quickly walked back to the side of Robb, Suofa, and Xuelu, whispering, “Who exactly are you?”

“I’m a priest!” Robb grinned mischievously, “A very lazy priest.”
