MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

“Don’t blank out, continue to fight!”

Amidst the fire shower, no party members were distracted, and they had only one thought in their minds at this time.

‘Take down Llamasden!’

42… 38… 32… 27… 21… 16… 11… 8…

People were constantly falling down in the frenzy fire shower; similarly, Llamasden’s HP was also decreasing.

The party had 15 deaths. Only Wu Old Wolf was left from the healers, and two main tanks were still persisting. Moonlight Ocean had heroically fallen, and the only one who could interrupt the Fire Dwarfs’ Group Fear was Not-a-confused-brother.

Li Yi shouted, “Those who can interrupt skills immediately fill in. Die rather than let them release Group Fear!”

Two DPS players quickly ran over, took over the work of Moonlight Ocean, and was in charge of interrupting the Fire Dwarfs’ Group Fear.

70,000… 50,000… 40,000… 30,000…

When Llamasden’s HP was reduced to 30,000, there came the most difficult moment.

A fire shield propped up around Llamasden’s head, blocking off all the party’s attacks on the outside. As Llamasden bawled, the names above everyone’s head turned red once again!

Li Yi called out, “Everyone pay attention. Ignore any hints. There’s no need to attack. Just make sure you don’t die!”

When Llamasden had 30,000 HP left, it was the most likely time to be team wiped. The fire shower chucked down madly, and the players could not attack Llamasden, but it could hide behind the fire shield and attack any player.

Every three minutes, the fire shield would temporarily disappear for a short ten seconds, and at this time, there would be a player in the party receiving a notification: [You have seen through Llamasden’s trick and have woken up from its mind control!]

Only the player who had received the info could attack Llamasden for 10 seconds. If other people were to make a random shot, Llamasden’s HP would refill, and it would only take a dozen times or so for its HP to restore to full.

This segment caused everyone to be rather speechless. With only a short ten seconds, if it was assigned to a healer, that round would then basically be wasted.

The rest of the party did not understand the meaning of it except for Chen Yang. Although Llamasden kept on yelling, Fatty could still vaguely hear the sound of the Explosive Ape chattering and shrieking.

[−653]

[−1459]

[−1200]

…

The Explosive Ape caused more damage inside the head of Llamasden twice than what it would have caused on the outside, and Li Yi’s confidence stemmed from relying on it.

Numerous parties had worked hard to bring down Llamasden’s HP to 30,000, but they would tragically realize that the every-ten-seconds-of-damage-output was simply a pain in the *ss. Just a little mistake, and it would cause a TPW…

The most difficult segment was this mere 30,000 HP phase.

The Explosive Ape was a rare Neutral breed. It would not side with anyone and apart from itself, it would bash up whoever it saw. Llamasden’s Defect was completely ineffective against it because it was not in the same company with Li Yi in the first place…

“Hoo hoo eek eek…”

The Explosive Ape jumped up and down, and its two claws frantically scratched about, each time taking away thousands of Llamasden’s HP.

Li Yi was not exploiting a bug. In fact, this method was unintentionally discovered by a Contract Summoner after this game had been running for two years. He placed a Neutral pet inside Llamasden’s head and then ordered the pet to attack. Consequently, until the fight ended, the pet did not suffer any damage at all…

Later, some people tried to worm into it, but all were caused to defect by Llamasden without exception, exploding and resulting in total annihilation.

No need for anyone to fight. Llamasden’s remaining 30,000 HP was left for the Explosive Ape to freely exert its power.

“Despicable contemptible creatures, my Lord will avenge me…”

The fire on the surface of Llamasden’s head had completely died out. It painfully swayed left and right for a while, and after a gleam of golden light, it shattered into a pile of broken bones…

Li Yi motioned with his hand and dismissed the Explosive Ape.

The fire shower overhead stopped, and as the two Little Fire Dwarf Monsters lost their power due to Llamasden’s death, and they fell flat on the ground.

Passed!

19 died and only 11 survived, they had successfully defeated Llamasden!

System Notification: [Congratulations, your team has achieved the first kill of the Hell-level Hard Mode Llamasden. Announce the party information to the world?]

“Yes!” Li Yi did not hesitate at all.

….

The System’s red-words-spam repeated over and over again, dazzling all the people.

“We… we made it?”

“We’ve won?”

“Won, hahahaha. We’ve won!”

Until then, the guild members of Little Drunk Cat could not believe that this was true…

“What’s the Little Drunk Cat Guild? How come I’ve never heard of it?”

“Who knows? That was sick, man. They actually went for Hell-level Hard Mode. Even those brutes from Platinum Hand did not dare to do it.”

“F*ck, my sperms are quivering. ¹ ”

The whole area was shocked!

On the other hand, at this time, the Star Fire Guild had already brought Llamasden’s HP down to less than 2,000. Just another round or so and the battle would be over.

The Guild Master of the Star Fire Guild, Fallen Star, saw the System’s red spam announcement and was instantly dumbstruck. Distracted for a moment, he was smashed by the fire shower, dying on the spot.

Other members had no idea what was going on. In order to avoid being disturbed by the outside world, except for the Guild Master and the commander who could open the system channel, no one was allowed to open any channel. This rule applied to any party.

“Guild Master…”

The Guild Master inexplicably falling to the ground instantly affected the rest. There were not many Star Fire Guild members who were alive to begin with, and now as they were affected by the Guild Master, mistakes after mistakes were being made. Some were killed by the fire shower, while some were killed by their own people. All of them fell in an instant…

At this point, Llamasden only had 300 HP left…

“F*ck.”

Fallen Star cursed out of rage.

He had played countless games, and his gaming years numbered more than fifteen, yet he had never lost his cool as such. He was robbed of the first kill with just a few minutes difference. This blow was too much for him to handle.

In order to fight the Molten Furnace, Star Fire Guild had spent half a month just for the preparation alone; buying potions, purchasing equipment, splurging large amounts to acquire talents, and researching the strategy for the dungeon. The amount of painstaking effort put in was so great that it was unthinkable for outsiders.

“Little Drunk Cat Guild… I Love Beast Beast, get the f*ck over here!”

Fallen Star was so furious that his face turned red with rage, and he placed all the blame on I Love Beast Beast.

“Didn’t you say that Dark Wing wouldn’t be a threat to us as long as he was out of the Dark Empire? What do you have to say now? He f*king snatched away our first kill just by relying on that little crap guild he had just established by himself. How do you f*king explain this matter to me!”

Fallen Star and I Love Beast Beast had been collaborating for at least ten years, and this was the first time his temper had flared up this badly.

“It’s my fault. I’m sorry I’ve failed everyone. I’ve failed all the brothers in the guild!” I Love Beast Beast lowered her head and did not protest at all.

Instigating Century Flower and Huashan Guild to go against Dark Empire was I Love Beast Beast’s idea. Back then, Fallen Star had also mentioned that Dark Wing was not a matter of concern, and I Love Beast Beast had agreed with him. Now that a problem had arisen, Fallen Star completely blamed it all on her instead.

Morale had fallen to an extreme low, and Fallen Star howled and berated for quite a while. In the end, he was so mad that he just went offline.

…

Inside another Molten Furnace Dungeon…

“Party leader, the first kill has happened, we’re one step behind.”

“It doesn’t matter, continue. We, the Platinum Hand, won’t be affected by any external factors and will only try our best to do our best.”

“Understood!”

“Infinite Insanity, can you really do it? If you’re unable to tank, you’ve got to say earlier and switch with me. Hahahaha.”

“Mad Dragon, f*ck your broken mouth. Concentrate on your DPS, and watch your bro perform!”

“Lil Ice, what are you daydreaming about? Pay attention to the spell interruption!”

“Oh, sorry…”

…

The situation for other guilds was similar. There were those who admired, those who envied, and also those who loathed.

The prediction post that topped the official page had been quietly removed and was replaced by a new post: “A peerless dark horse, Little Drunk Cat Guild emerges out of the blue!

“I didn’t expect that I could do this…”

“Me too. I’m feeling so f*cking awesome, hahahaha. Hell-level Hard Mode, it’s too damn cool!”

A number of sentimental guild members were tearing up because the glory that they gained this time was stupendous.

The 50-man Party-level Molten Furnace Dungeon that had stumped thousands of guilds were cleared by a small guild that had just been established for a few days!

Li Yi was also very gratified. Even though much effort had been expended this time, the reward enabled him to not just earn his capital back but had also profited him.

All party guild members obtained a +1 skill point bonus, and he himself was even luckier to get three points!

It was all worth it. Even if there were not any honor or whatsoever, just this three Skill Points alone was enough to cover all his costs.

“Guild Master, please go loot the boss!”

“Guild Master, this time your hand must be really on fire!”

Looking at the broken bones of Llamasden, the guild members were all fired up.

Li Yi smiled slightly and said to Fire Ice, “I’ll leave this to you.”

Fire Ice’s excited face was red. She nodded at Li Yi right away, went forward and stretched out her hand…

A virtual inventory pane appeared before all the party members. From top to bottom, more than 30 pieces of glittering equipment were neatly laid out, and at the bottom were actually two pieces of purple equipment!

Purple quality, epic level!
