Hidden Boss [Malevolent Ram Spirit and the Praying White Wolf Saintess]

The name of the beautiful少女 wearing a white ram mask and a sheer white gown appeared clearly. Just moments ago, it had glowed bright green—now it burned vibrant red.

This meant the girl had turned hostile…

"Hard to bring myself to attack this form," Soulshadow Tianyou murmured, eyeing the nearly naked少女.

"You pervert, master!" Loli Monkey snapped angrily.

"Blind much, Little Monkey? I’m clearly a woman too—how am I a pervert?" Soulshadow Tianyou retorted with perfect seriousness.

"Master… you lie without blinking. Forgot I can see all your gear stats? Or that gender-swapping magic ring you’re wearing?" Loli Monkey crossed her arms, voice icy with sarcasm.

"Uh… look! The boss is charging!" Soulshadow Tianyou instantly pointed at the enemy, changing the subject.

Yet the scantily clad White Wolf Saintess remained still after rising. She stood silently at the edge of the rotten floorboards, her beast-like eyes fixed unblinkingly on Soulshadow Tianyou and Loli Monkey.

"Not playing fair… are you lagging?" Soulshadow Tianyou sighed helplessly.

"Done chatting? Such insolence before the mighty Ocean God… I should tear you limb from limb," the White Wolf Saintess hissed coldly.

"Is that sun behind you the Plague Deity? Andros Andromar, God of the Ocean?" Soulshadow Tianyou asked.

"Foolish human! You dare speak my Lord’s name?!" the White Wolf Saintess roared.

"So this Hidden Map’s final boss isn’t the Plague Deity… just a servant. Disappointing." Soulshadow Tianyou shook her head, shoulders slumping in dismay.

"You arrogant human!" the White Wolf Saintess spat.

"Says who’s human? And which eye saw me as one?" Soulshadow Tianyou smirked coldly.

"You’ll pay for your blasphemy!"

Her beautiful face twisted into a snarl, shattering her elegance. Bare feet padded softly across the floor as she advanced toward Tianyou and Loli Monkey.

"Stay sharp…" Soulshadow Tianyou whispered, muscles coiled tight.

"Understood, master!"

Despite her bold words, Tianyou’s heart hammered. This was her first real boss fight—Monkey King Poison didn’t count as that clown.

Fear clawed at her chest… yet excitement flared beneath it.

…

The White Wolf Saintess descended the two broken wooden steps, stopping before them.

"You called me human… don’t compare me to your lowly kind!" she shrieked. Her body surged, swelling violently—

The sheer gown burst apart. But the naked form beneath held no allure now. She towered over them: a two-meter-tall white wolf wreathed in ethereal fur, crimson eyes blazing, fangs and claws glinting.

Yet intelligence still burned in those beastly eyes. Rationality remained.

All clothing vanished in the transformation—except one item. The Ram Skull Mask now fused to her forehead.

The hollow ram skull radiated ominous dread…

"ROAR!"

The wolf’s jaws parted in a deafening howl.

The battle began.

"Fight ready!" Soulshadow Tianyou drew her Fangblade Shortsword, teeth gritted. "Loli Monkey—now!"

Humanoid bosses were smart but fragile, favoring single-target nukes. Beast bosses had thick HP and wide AoEs—but low IQ, attacking predictably.

So what was a beast boss with human cunning?

Dangerous. Terrifying. But its loot would be glorious.

"Got it!" Loli Monkey brandished her Little Golden Staff, stance wide.

The white wolf lunged without hesitation, a massive claw slamming down where they stood.

*CRUNCH!* Sand sprayed as the claw cratered the black dunes.

But both had already scattered—one left, one right.

Soulshadow Tianyou flipped mid-air, summoning a Poison Kunai. She hurled it—a signature move now.

The kunai flew true. The wolf didn’t dodge.

*CLANG!* It ricocheted off her spectral fur.

"-1 HP" flickered above the wolf’s head.

Tianyou landed smoothly, frowning. Three Poison Darts materialized in her grip. She threw them in a spread pattern, cutting off all escape routes.

The wolf dodged two—but the third struck.

*CLANG!* Another "-1 HP." No poison effect.

"Even 100% poison chance… useless," Tianyou muttered, brow furrowed deeper.

Before she could react, the wolf was on her—jaws gaping wide.

"Master, look out!" Loli Monkey screamed.

"Interesting…"

Amidst the danger, Soulshadow Tianyou’s lips curled into a cold smirk. Her pupils shrank to pinpricks, eyes wide with terrifying focus.
