MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

“How did I manage to dig out four legendary pieces…”

Li Yi looked at the four pieces of the Devil Equipment Set in his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or to cry.

The Devil Equipment Set could be worn at Level 15, and they were leather armor. Their attributes were far beyond the Level 25 gold-colored equipment, and they had additional ATK, DEF, STR and INT. Gathering four pieces would also activate the hidden attribute, increasing all of one’s attribute values by 15 points.

It could be used by all classes, but the Devil Equipment Set was extremely rare, and it could only be obtained through digging treasure maps or opening treasure chests.

Of course, these were not the key points. The crucial part was that the effect of wearing this equipment set would really cause one to blush with embarrassment. Except for some perverts who would constantly wear them, any players who were even slightly in their right mind would not wear it…

“What did you dig out? What did you dig out?” The two Wutongs came over.

“Nothing much but a Soul Stone.” Li Yi stashed away the Devil Equipment Set.

Li Yi led the three women to clear the mobs near the Evil God Altar.

The two black-robed and white-robed bosses’ HP were displayed as ??? above their heads.

“Big brother, how come we can’t see their HP?”

“The black and white bosses’ HP will increase or decrease with the number of players entering the battle. If there’s only one person fighting it, each of their HP will be 500,000. If two people fight it, the HP will double to 1 million, and so on. There’s no upper limit.”

“Holy cow!” The Wutong sisters’ jaw dropped in surprise again.

It was extremely difficult to battle the black and white bosses. Wanting to put them down with group tactics was simply an impossible matter because as their HP rose, the power of their curse spells would also increase.

There were very few players who successfully solo-ed the black and white bosses as they did not only test one’s operation, but there was also a limit to the class. For instance, it was impossible for Thieves and Warriors to solo. This was because when the two bosses were too close to each other, they could heal and resurrect infinitely; and if the yellow-robed little monsters summoned were not killed as soon as possible, they would take the initiative to sacrifice themselves to the boss. One little monster could help the boss to recover 100,000 HP.

In all the classes that could solo, it was easiest for the Undead Summons, who could release Undead hordes, as they could suppress the boss with numbers. Compared with the Undead Summons, it was slightly harder for the other solo classes.

“Charge! Younger Wutong pull aggro on the black-robed boss, Elder Wutong pull the white-robed boss; one left, one right. Ice to heal at the middle.”

“The Great Evil God, do you hear our call? Please descend upon the world quickly to wipe out all those false gods and cleanse this filthy world!”

The black and white bosses shouted with their hoarse voices, knelt in front of the Evil God Statue and prayed non-stop.

Black-robed Blasphemer: Margaret

White-robed Fallen: Maseru

Both black and white bosses had their own names. In King of Pantheon, most of the bosses with names had their own history. Unlike Crimson Tiger King, that kind of nameless boss with no background and no origin, its value of existence was simply degrading.

Before the black and white bosses joined the Cursing Sect, they were Human Priests who believed in the Light. The two were husband and wife, and it used to be their wish to spread the glory of the God of Light to every corner of the world.

One time, Margaret became ill, and though Maseru took her everywhere to seek medical treatment, he still failed to save her life. Since then, Maseru began doubting the power of the God of Light.

They were more pious than anyone else in believing the God of Light, but the high-above-God of Light never seemed to have noticed them. Even his wife’s life was not able to be saved.

Later, Maseru fell away and joined the Cursing Sect. With the power of Evil God, he resurrected his wife, Margaret, and became the most loyal believer of Evil God, gaining eternal life.

It was fine even if he became a walking corpse. “As long as I can always be with him/her, I’m willing to pay whatever price!”

When these words were heard from the black and white bosses, it left a deep impression with all Pantheon players.

“Wicked pagans, do you wish to destroy this altar? So long as we’re here, you will never succeed!”

The black and white bosses rushed up together, and the Wutong sisters immediately lured each one, falling back and fighting at the same time to pull them apart.

They could not separate them too far apart, or else the black and white bosses would automatically run back together. They could not be too close to each other too, otherwise, they would trigger the symbiotic healing buff. By then, no matter how strong your attack was, it would be impossible to kill them.

System Notification: [The symbiotic buff on Maseru and Margaret has disappeared…]

Upon hearing the system prompt, the Wutong sisters stopped moving and officially entered into the battle with the boss.

Maseru was good at curse spells, while Margaret was good at summoning. All their skills could not be interrupted, and one could only ensure one’s HP was full before any skills were released to prevent any accidents.

With Vile Tongue Stake in hand, the damage Elder Wutong caused was no less than Li Yi’s. Li Yi, on the other hand, was going all-out against Margaret, sending Mutated Small Wild Boar forward to prevent Younger Wutong from being unable to resist when she summoned her little monsters.

“Pagans, feel the power of Evil God!”

The white-robed Maseru raised his hands and released a group curse.

“Cumbersome! Aging! Bloodworm!”

Three-in-one group curse; the nausea index was more than seven stars. Cumbersome would slow down one’s movement, Aging would weaken one’s attributes, while Bloodworm would continue to absorb the host’s Health.

The HP above the four people’s heads dropped rapidly, and Fire Ice could not heal in time. In the end, everyone could only gulp down a bottle of Intermediate-level Recovery Potion to top up their HP.

The effect of the group curse disappeared, and only a little HP was left above the four’s head. The situation was extremely perilous, but at this time, black-robed Margaret’s Summoning Spell was initiated.

More than a dozen yellow-robed little monsters appeared, yelling and rushing up.

The yellow-robed mobs’ had very little HP, each with only 800 points. With Li Yi’s ATK, he could easily kill them all before they sacrificed themselves to the boss.

“Pagans, feel the power of Evil God!” Maseru’s group curse came again.

After the group curse, it was time for Margaret to use her Summoning Spell continually. There was no breathing space at all. Just when the yellow-robed little monsters were cleared, the Summoning Spell was launched again.

“Shoot. Shoot hard. Shoot at me. Right, right. Hurry, this little monster is glowing. Quickly shoot. It’s going to explode, going to explode. OMG, just a little bit more…” Younger Wutong nervously yelled non-stop.

The black and white bosses’ HP gradually reduced, and the pressure felt by the four people was growing increasingly greater.

Group curse coupled with Summon; the black and white bosses’ coordination was perfect. The four could still hold out at the beginning, but as the battle continued on, their mana was getting critical.

It was still alright with Li Yi as he could shoot at point-blank when his mana was emptied, and the damage was not low, but not so with the Wutong sisters and Fire Ice. They could not release any Healing Spells or use any life-saving skills. Facing the mighty black and white bosses, they were unable to hold out anymore.

Following Maseru’s pointing his finger, Elder Wutong was hit by Blood Explosion Spell. The HP overhead decreased wildly, and she fell to the ground in an instant.

“Big brother, I can’t do it…”

Without a tank to pull aggro, Maseru immediately ran toward Margaret.

System Notification: [Symbiotic buff appears. Maseru and Margaret will enter the infinite resurrection and healing state.]

There was no way to fight anymore. The more-than-900,000 HP that was finally destroyed regenerated instantly and the black and white bosses’ ATK soared. As Maseru released Group Curse, Zimu Wutong and Fire Ice fell to the ground at the same time.

Li Yi engaged the special skill from his Fiery Boots to flee from the boss. Even with Camouflage, he did not manage to evade Maseru’s deadly Group Curse. He was bitten to death by the bloodworms in Camouflage Mode.

TPW.

It was not that the four people’s skills were not enough, but their endurance ability could not keep up…

The four corpses ran back, and except for Li Yi who dared to resurrect, the three women did not dare to resurrect at all.

They had died at the feet of the boss. If they were to resurrect this time, they certainly could not get up.

“Wait for my skills to cool down. Then I’ll pull the boss away. You all take the opportunity to resurrect. Use the Return City Stone once you stand up.”

“Aren’t we fighting anymore?”

“Not now. Our endurance ability is unable to keep up, so the end result will still be the same.”

He had been too anxious this time, coming here before having learned how to break a curse as a Priest. It was still better to wait until his Priest class was at Level 35 and had learned how to break curses before coming here again.

After his skills had finished cooling down, Li Yi shot a few arrows at the black and white bosses and led them away.

The three women seized this opportunity to resurrect and use the Return City Stone.

By relying on Camouflage and Pseudocide and without contracting Group Curse, Li Yi easily broke away from the battle. He returned to the city as well by rubbing the Return City Stone.

Although he was unable to defeat the black and white bosses, the rewards reaped this time was considerable. He was able to obtain Part One and Part Three of the Curse Book, which were super rare quest items, and dug out a Devil Equipment Set.

“The Curse Book is still lacking Part Two. I’ll keep this for the time being. After we defeat the black and white bosses, we’ll complete the quest together.”

The team disbanded, and Li Yi was feeling a little depressed. Just when he was thinking about whether to go to the Auction House to sweep some goods, Chen Yang sent him a message.

“Brother Yi, Scumbag Wang threw you a challenge to meet by the moat outside of Shattered Frost City to have a deathmatch.”

“What?” Li Yi was startled upon hearing this.

“Scumbag Wang’s subordinates are calling out everywhere in the city for you to have a fight with their Leader Scum. When you walk around the city, you’ll definitely see them.”

Li Yi rode on his Crimson Tiger King and right after a few steps, he heard the people of Huashan Sect shouting.

“Archer Dark Wing, head to the moat outside of the city for a deathmatch. Leader Scum’s sure to win! There’s no such thing as failure for us!”

A group of people from the Huashan Guild shouted in the city, and the momentum was huge.

‘What’s Scumbag Wang doing?’

….

Outside of Shattered Frost City, by the moat.

Violent Warrior Scumbag Wang wore a Wizard’s sky-blue cloth armor and had a huge ax on his back. His gaze was upon the moat, and he had not moved an inch for a long time…

“Shift the camera slightly to the left. Yea, yea, yea. Just like that. Come here a little closer. Okay. Leader Scum, this pose of yours is too damn handsome. No chicks will be able to resist this shot of yours.”

“All the chicks will die for you the moment they see this. Leader Scum, this pose of yours is absolutely perfect.”

The two players responsible for photography aimed their camera at Scumbag Wang and heaped up words of praise one after another.

“Let me see how the shot is.”

Scumbag Wang wiped off the saliva at the corner of his mouth and asked for the captured image.

“Yup. Not bad, not bad.”

Scumbag Wang was extremely satisfied. After giving it a thought, he sent the image to Hua Feihua.

“Sister Huahua, am I handsome? Are you so fascinated that you’re falling head over heels? Being aroused? Want to sleep with me?”

Hua Feihua did not respond for a long time.

“I’ve already thrown a challenge to Dark Wing. Hehe. Judging by his character, he’ll come for sure. I’ve set up an ambush on all sides. With 200 brothers attacking together, if I don’t cause him to drop everything until he’s left with his underpants, I’ll be his son.”

“Leader Scum, Dark Wing’s here!” One of the men informed Scumbag Wang.

“Brothers, listen to my… scream as the signal!” Scumbag Wang wanted to say the throwing of the cup, but unfortunately, he did not have any with him, and so he had to change his words last minute. ¹

“Leader Scum’s sure to win!”

Near the city gate, Li Yi rode on his Crimson Tiger King and slowly paced over.

“Yahhhhh…”

Scumbag Wang let out an extremely awful shriek, and his 200 men who were hidden in the dark swarmed out to charge at Li Yi…
