MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

After Resurrecting twice, I Am Brother Yao and his men were only able to stop the General Demon Goat for a little while before once again collapsing onto the ground. While the other camp players were still corpse-running, Li Yi and Jiaojiao arrived. The General Demon Goat had lost control and was charging toward the Iron Alliance group.

Li Yi’s golden Territory light barrier was released, limiting the General Demon Goat’s speed.

The addition of over a hundred Holy attribute points had not expanded Li Yi’s Territory light barrier. It had only enhanced its power.

Everything had a limit, even the Territory barrier. Li Yi’s Territory was at Level 29 and needed one more level up to upgrade to Territory Rank 1. Until that happened, his Territory barrier’s range would only go as high as 70 yards.

The motherf*cking Hunter Goddess was still working on the Wrath of the Stars’ upgrade so Li Yi was stuck using a regular Purple Quality Bow.

A Water Clone appeared in front of Li Yi, charging back a Powered-up Arrow along with its master to fire at the berserk General Demon Goat.

Tch tch tch tch tch tst —

Szh! Szh!

Two arrows were fired in unison, creating beautiful arcs in the air before piercing the General Demon Goat.

Pft! Pft!

It was a direct hit for the two arrows, prompting the General Demon Goat to bellow in rage and dash towards Li Yi in retaliation.

Bp! Bp!

Two barbed arrows struck the General Demon Goat but did not disappear after the hit. This was Li Yi’s new skill, Stinger Arrow.

[-367889]

[-333456]

The General Demon Goat would lose HP for every second the Stinger Arrows pierced its body. The amount of damage they dealt was remarkably impressive.

General Demon Goat lurched towards Li Yi, but a purple ray extended out from the right, dragging it away.

That was Queen Jiao’s Death’s Grasp.

[-9678992]

[-10574899]

Jiaojiao swung her greatsword for a Mortal Bash, dealing ten times the damage!

Tch tch tch tch tst —

Li Yi charged another two Powered-up Arrow and fired before his Water Clone disappeared.

Pft! Pft!

Falling flat on its face, the General Demon Goat’s body spat out 5 purple lights before collapsing on the ground.

“Demon Goat’s dead, hahaha…”

“My quest’s done!”

“Mine’s finished too.”

With the General Demon Goat dead, any players of the same camp, who participated in the battle, would have completed their quest. It did not matter if they were corpse-running or dead.

“Comrades, we won!”

Jiaojiao placed her hands on her waist and burst into laughter.

Players from the other camps were still rushing over but had no choice but to leave when they saw the General Demon Goat’s corpse.

Qian’er picked up the 5 items that the Demon General dropped. They were all class equipment sets and one of them was a pair of Dark Paladin’s Commander boots.

“Mine, mine!”

Lugging her greatsword, Jiaojiao took ran to Qian’er and demanded the boots.

The drop rate for a Dark Paladin’s equipment was ridiculously low. Only one item had been found, even after playing the game for such a long time. All the elite players in the guild had updated their equipment. Only Jiaojiao, ignoring a few accessory changes, was still using her original equipment.

Jiaojiao immediately equipped the Commander boots after receiving them and jumped around with joy, amusing Li Yi and Qian’er.

While Qian’er was occupied by picking up the items, an incident was happening right behind her. The Dwarf Ice Wizard, Black Wing was back from his corpse run and attempted to ambush Pale Blue Elegance. Instead, she killed him with a single move.

A dark glow engulfed Black Wing. Just like the last time, Black Wing was engaged in fighting when Pale Blue Elegance rubbed her hands together, causing the dark glow to rise. This caused damage numbers to appear above Black Wing’s head before he collapsed onto the ground. It was an instant kill, the same as the first round.

“What skill is that?” Black Wing shouted out in frustration.

Not giving him the time of day, Pale Blue Elegance pulled a face at him and ran into the crowd.

With the General Demon Goat gone, the Iron Alliance members celebrated for a while before heading their separate ways. Some went to turn in quests while others continued to search for places to farm monsters.

Jiaojiao and Qian’er went to turn in their quests. Their quest progress was the same, 120% completion of Miracle of Will. Still lacking progress, Li Yi returned to his previous location to continue grinding.

Miracle of Will was a useful skill and there was a world of difference between achieving 10% and 120% progress.

Miracle of Will served no purpose in solo fights. However, when used next to allies who were also using the skill, its purpose would be revealed.

Damage reduction!

It reduced all damage sustained, whether it came from players or monsters. The skill grew more powerful as more nearby party members activated it.

If two players with Miracle of Will stood together, the most distinct difference would be the level of damage reduction provided to those who completed 10% and those who completed 120%.

Players who completed 10% Will would enjoy at least 2% damage reduction and have a maximum of 5% (no matter the number of party members standing beside) while players who completed 120% Will would enjoy at least 5% damage reduction with a maximum of 30%.

With a maximum damage reduction of 30%, this common skill available to the public was crucial when fighting both players and monsters.

Though Li Yi had been secretly infusing attributes for his guild members, he delayed challenging the Seventh Demon God for two reasons. One was because his Orange Quality Bow was still being upgraded. The second reason was that the guild member had not completed the Miracle of Will quest.

If they were to face the deadly Seventh Demon God without the aid of Miracle of Will, their chances of winning would be slashed in half.

Not just Li Yi was waiting. The Fluttering Snow Alliance and Brother Windcloud Nine’s Ninth Continent were biding their time as well. Miracle of Will’s ability to reduce damage was no secret. If Li Yi knew about it, so would the others.

“Thank the noobs who served as sacrificial vanguards for the game. Without you guys, we would have taken the long road” quoted Pretty Good Mood.

The three major camps had been waiting and today, the Iron Alliance had once again gained the upper hand…

With a successful win over the General Demon Goat, at least one thousand Iron Alliance elites had completed the 120% Miracle of Will quest.

The Iron Alliance’s men had just dispersed when Bai Xiaoya paraded over with several thousand Fluttering Snow Alliance elites.

It was a shame; they came too late…

However, there was another group of people who arrived around the same time they did.

The Windcloud Clan.

“Kill!”

The moment Brother Windcloud Nine saw Bai Xiaoya, he led his men to battle with a roar.

The memory of what Bai Xiaoya did to Sister Windcloud Nine had become the most infuriating thing in Brother Windcloud Nine’s mind. He was an open and honest man and did not take kindly to Bai Xiaoya, who played dirty tricks on people.

With the activation of his Territory Skill, God’s Blessing, Brother Windcloud Nine looked like a God of War in golden armor, charging into Fluttering Snow Alliance camp without a care. His Blazing Judgment flickered endlessly as the number of players who died by his hands kept rising.

Compared to his past life, the present Brother Windcloud Nine was stronger. In his past life, he had acquired Territory and relied on stacking Holy equipment to become one of the Top Ten Main Tanks. Now that he had Territory, his power was outstanding.

Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was not present over in the corner of the Fluttering Snow Alliance, neither were the three major Guild Masters. With only Bai Xiaoya, there was no stopping to Brother Windcloud Nine.

Bai Xiaoya unleashed her Territory Skill, blowing a tune of Bewitching Flute which affected many of those from the Windcloud Clan. However, this was ineffective against Brother Windcloud Nine. Upon activation of God’s Blessing, Brother Windcloud Nine became immune to all abnormal statuses and this immunity disregarded the addition of levels and equipment.

Brother Windcloud Nine wielded his shield, blocking to the left and right. Heading straight for Bai Xiaoya, Brother Windcloud Nine threw his sword out for a stab, aiming right at the exquisite lips revealed under her mask.

Bai Xiaoya was wearing a mask that covered the top half of her face, exposing the lower half, which was her mouth. Needless to say, she may have a foul mouth, but it was pleasant to the eye.

Thin and soft, delicate and rosy. A slight opening gave way to a row of teeth. To certain male primates, it was a killer. It was no wonder there was someone in the past life who once mentioned that even he spent ten million, he would still love this petite mouth…

Bai Xiaoya was forced to stop her playing and retreat in the face of Brother Windcloud Nine’s attack.

Shaking off the control of the music, the Windcloud Clan raced forward.

Practically all elites of the Windcloud Clan were present whereas the Fluttering Snow Alliance’s top players were nowhere to be found. The Windcloud Clan triumphed on both numbers and ability. This battle ended in a total wipeout of the Fluttering Snow Alliance.

…

Li Yi returned to his previous location and monotonously farmed monsters alone.

He soon heard about the Windcloud Clan wiping out the Fluttering Snow Alliance as people were shouting from the rooftops on World Channel. Two parties were arguing fiercely with one another. Even if he did not see it, he definitely heard it.

Watching the fun from the sidelines, Li Yi activated his Territory barrier to lower the monsterling’s speed. After much labor, he only took down one monster.

He lifted his head and stared into the distance, observing the loitering monsters nearby. However, he was not in the mood to farm.

It took too much time and effort.

“Qian Qian, Jiaojiao, where are you?” Li Yi shouted in the Party Channel.

“We’ll be there in five minutes,” answered Jiaojiao.

Li Yi sat on the ground and waited. Bored out his brains, he summoned the Mermaid Queen, Freya.

Compared to back when she could not be mounted on land, the biggest change in the current Lil’ Mermaid was that she could tail Li Yi.

Previously, although she could transform her fin into legs, she could only move slowly. With this restriction now lifted, she might not be able to run as fast as Li Yi, but some normal players would not be able to keep up with her.

“Lil’ Mermaid, sing a song. Make it a beautiful one.”

With both hands pressed against her chest, Freya started humming a melodious ethereal song.

Legend has it that a Mermaid’s singing was the most beautiful sound in the world. Although King of Pantheon was only a game, the legend held true.

With this captivating sound in the air, not only was her master Li Yi enchanted, but the demons nearby were also drawn by the singing, walking over like puppets on a string.

“Lala… Lala… Lala…”

With the Mermaid Queen’s singing in the background, more demons were lured over. Before Li Yi knew it, over two hundred monsters were encircling him…

Li Yi jumped at the sight, prompting him to order Freya, “Don’t stop, keep singing…”

He was confident he could take care of several dozen demons but two hundred was plain suicide…
