MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

All 10 main tanks rushed up to block off the shockwave and each of them had taken -2000 damage, which appeared above their head.

This was just the appetizer as it was meant to test if the main tanks had reached the minimum required amount of HP.

The healers started to cast heal, Holy Blessing, Holy Flash, Breath of the Wind, and Touch of the Wind. They cast all sorts of Healing Skills, combining them together so that it would obtain a better healing effect. Though one of the most eye-catching healers was not Wu Old Wolf but a female White Elf Sky Vagabond.

The healer class, Sky Vagabond that had achieved level 35 had overwhelmingly powerful healing abilities, such that the group healing ability Breath of the Wind could heal for 15 seconds. It would heal a minimum of 400+ each time and the amount would multiply further if it were a critical heal. What made it even more powerful was that it would provide an additional 2% ATK SPD and 5% movement speed to the ones who were being healed.

She was called the Little Elf from the Magical Realm, and she was the queen of solo in his past life as she could solo the majority of the Instance Dungeons. No one had dared to PK with her because everyone who had attempted to do that was drained to death.

The best healer in the God Creator Guild, Nirvana Inaction, respected her the most as he could not solo the Instance Dungeons that she could.

Li Yi had spent a good amount of effort to recruit her into the guild. This was because she had been solo-ing since level 1. She had never formed a party with anyone and it was a difficult task to get close to her.

Li Yi could not communicate with her. So in the end, Fire Ice had to be the one to talk to her and it took ten days to lure her into the guild.

She was in a light sky blue robe, meant for the Sky Vagabond. Combined with her curly hair and her cute, petite body, the Little Elf from the Magical Realm was a rare beauty. However, she was taken and her husband was not into the King of Pantheon.

The first stage of Dwarf King was not difficult to deal with as all it tested was the main tank’s ability to tank. Those who had HP below 2000 would suffer and those who had HP above 2000 was a stroll in the park.

Li Yi had even summoned his Violent Bear King, which had already achieved level 38. It had a HP of 4500 and had 1000 more HP than the guild’s strongest main tank, Golden Gun Cannot Fall. Its DEF was so ridiculous that it might as well be a bug.

10 main tanks surrounded the Dwarf King as Li Yi controlled for his Violent Bear King to pull all four of the dwarf elites.

Each dwarf elites had a HP of 1,000,000, and they would enter into the half mode if they were not killed. However, the fight with the Dwarf King was different from the Llamasden because when the boss enters the second stage to become stronger, the four dwarf elites would transform, becoming stronger as well. Furthermore, there was a major flaw in the Wizard’s Sheep Transformation Spell. The target would be immune to the spell if it were cast repetitively. Hence, they could only be transformed twice and it would be ineffective on the third attempt.

As the Violent Bear King pulled all four of the elites, his HP kept reducing as the letters 500, 600 appeared on its head. Since the highest damage it received did not exceed 700, one healer was enough to heal him.

Similarly to a DPS having a ranking, healers had it as well. The system recorded down how much everybody had healed over the course.

As Little Elf from the Magical Realm cast her combined skill of Breath of the Wind and the Touch of the Wind, she instantly pulled herself ahead and away from the other healers.

Wu Old Wolf bit his lips as he tried to keep up, spamming all types of healing skills. Ultimately, he caught up to her but his MP did not regenerate back in time.

The Dwarf King threw his warhammers as he kept crushing the main tanks. If they were hit by his hammer, they would lose at least 5000 HP. In other words, they would instantly die and the only way to block this attack was to use Block.

All 10 main tanks did not have any problem in doing so. They were able to successfully block the heavy warhammer attacks so that the DPS at the back could attack without any worry.

As the Dwarf King’s HP was down to 10,000,000, he used a skill Siphon which randomly absorbed a party member’s HP to heal himself once.

It was an annoying skill as his HP would regenerate around ten thousand with each Siphon.

“Mortals. Don’t make me angry!”

The Dwarf King roared as he raged, plummeting both warhammers onto the ground.

Pretty Good Mood shouted, “All main tanks retreat and healers, change your target and heal the entire party!”

The Dwarf King’s impact skill was an AoE attack and it could not be avoided. Hence, the only way to survive this was to take it straight on and heal the entire party.

This was where the healers came into the picture. The impact skill would last 15 seconds and those who were being healed would receive half the damage taken as well. If it were not for this, it would be very dire as all of them would be dead.

As the first wave ended, every party members’ health was reduced by half but none of them died. Pretty Good Moo and Li Yi were extremely satisfied with the outcome.

The party had indeed become stronger as compared to before. This party was no longer befitting of the term Main Legion.

The four elites were quickly disposed of, and the Violent Bear King joined in together with the main tanks to reduce their pressure tremendously.

Although the Violent Bear King did not know Block, its Earth-ward was even more powerful. It reduced 30% of the DMG taken, which allowed him the strength to tank the Dwarf King’s attack directly.

The party had fought against the first stage countless times and they were not worried at all. As the Dwarf King’s HP was reduced by 4,000,000, they slowly entered into stage two.

“How surprising. You bastard races possess such capabilities.”

The Dwarf King’s body started to tremble. His skin started flying about as they disintegrated and his twenty-meter tall body disappeared, revealing his true form which was a dwarf that was not close to half a meter tall.

That twenty-meter tall body of his was just a metal-skinned machine that he had been controlling. The body roared as it soared into the sky, bombarding countless missiles to the ground as it attacked the members on the ground without mercy.

“How could we let the evil spirit taint our ancestor’s effort? Brave warrior, gather around me!”

The infamous Karone Foresight appeared with a fiery chariot as he waved at the party.

“I’ll set up the cannons. Brave Warriors, help me kill that weird looking bird!”

Karone Foresight jumped down from the fiery chariot. He squatted down and fumbled about before a cannon appeared on the ground. He then shifted his body as he continued to make more cannons.

Pretty Good Mood screamed, “Range class, get on the cannons and the main tanks will carry the cannon shells. Healers will heal depending on the situation!”

The objective in the second stage was rather easy. All they had to do was to use Karone’s cannons to kill the Metal Skin Birds.

Li Yi took aim at the Metal Skin Birds. “Boom! Boom!” and the combo appeared on top of its head.

Karone’s cannon could shoot out two shells at one go and his cannon was much more advanced than the cannons in the Heart of the Fire Dungeon.

“Boom! Boom!”

The others started to shoot as well and since the combo was shared among everyone, the combo instantly went up to 20 combos.

All ten cannons had hit the target.

The Metal Skin Bird flew straight and shot down a bunch of missiles. Boom boom boom boom — all ten cannons were bombarded into pieces.

“I’ll set up the cannons. Brave warriors, help me kill that weird looking bird!” Karone Foresight appeared and started to set up the cannons once more…

The Metal Skin Bird flew back. It opened its mouth, releasing a stream of fire that engulfed the entire stage.

The first thing everyone did was run towards where Karone was because it was the only way to avoid this attack.

Then, a huge barrier appeared around Karone’s body, segregating him away from the fire outside.

Karone shouted, “Amazing. The ancestor’s effort was indeed out of this world. My protective barrier won’t be able to last a long time. Brave warriors, don’t get too close to me or it will exhaust the barrier’s energy quicker.”

Everyone ignored him as the fire emitted by the Metal Skin Bird could instantly kill anyone. Since the only way to survive this was to hide within the protective barrier, anyone who listened to Karone’s horrific advice would instantly die if they ran out.

“Crack!”

The protective barrier started to crack but the Metal Skin Bird had stopped its fiery attacks. However, the last breath of fire lightly brushed everyone and all of their HP were instantly reduced by half.

“How horrifying. How horrifying,” Karone Foresight started chanting as he healed himself back to full health. He then ignored the rest of the people and continued to set up the cannons.

No one was able to heal the party and everyone stood still, waiting for their fate.

The Metal Skin Bird which was revolving about in the sky had its eyes turned red in color.

“Auto searching to eliminate the target with the highest HP. Target confirmed, locked, fire!”

The bird opened its beak as it shot out a stream of fire. It immediately hit Karone, blasting him away as he tumbled a few times into the sky.

The old dwarf was instantly left with 1 HP.

No one in the party could heal at this stage as the Metal Skin Bird would lock on to them instead of Karone. More so, that would result in an instant death once they were attacked.

Karone wobbled as he stood back up, recovering himself back to full health as he continued setting up the cannons.

The range DPS continued to move forward and shot the cannons. As they dealt 100,000 damaged to the Metal Skin Bird, it then started bombarding them with bombs again.

Hundreds of shells rained from the sky; black dots started to appear on the ground as an effect. At this stage, the players were being tested with their senses. Those who knew how to evade them would not die and those who did not would without a doubt perish.

“Everyone beware of the dots below your feet and don’t look up. Avoid the black dots with everything you can!” Pretty Good Mood shouted at the top of his lungs.

“Boom!”

A cannon landed on Pretty Good Mood’s head. A loud explosion could be heard and he was blasted to the point where nothing was left behind…

“Leader, how many times has this happened?”

“A lot of times…”

“I’m used to it.”

Pretty Good Mood was very good at leading the party but everyone was speechless at his operational skill. Every party members were able to evade the bombs except him.

“Stop staring at me and pay attention to your feet. F*ck. If anyone dares to die at this point, they would become the second generation of idiots and you’re all free to die if you wish to become one.”

The party members danced among the shells as Pretty Good Mood shouted. Explosions came one after the other and yet none of them died.

“Leader, I will Battle Resurrect you after this.” The Sky Vagabond, Little Elf from the Magical Realm who knew the skill Resurrection from Battle told him.

Pretty Good Mood responded back, “Alright…”

Although Vagabond did not know any non-battle resurrection spells, they had the most overpowered resurrection skill in the entire game — the Resurrection from Battle. Its simplified name was Battle Resurrect and while it could resurrect any party members while they were in combat, the cooldown was 12 hours.

The skill Battle Resurrect was an extremely rare skill as only the Sky Vagabond who had finished a series of class quest could obtain it. The quest difficulty was incredibly high and one could not rely on outsiders to help in this quest. Only players with skills were able to obtain this skill.

The bombs kept raining down as Karone finished setting up the cannons once more. As the Metal Skin Bird’s HP had dropped to half, players had to shoot it down while taking caution against the bombs raining from above.

The most dangerous moment had arrived!
