MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

Panda Novel

The Star Fire Guild was in an extremely difficult situation.

The Giant Metal Scorpion was very persistent in staying there and a few thousands of Archers from the guild were not able to pull it away with Mislead. In fact, its spawns had increased dramatically in number.

The entire area was covered in poisonous scorpions and none of them could return to the guild. If they wanted to ensure that the guild level did not drop, they had to spend a lot of money. So, they had to throw in about 50,000 Gold Coins daily and it was merely a stopgap measure by doing so.

They had requested help from the other guilds as well but all of them had perished regardless of their numbers. They had also requested assistance from the King of Pantheon’s forum but they were ignored as it was told that this action was not a bug and not a violation of the game’s rule.

Yang Xingchen was in extreme distress as he was not able to log back into the game. After all, the 15 days ban had yet to pass.

He called Milk Dipper Solitary for help but the latter hung up the phone after he responded with a few words in a cold-tone as if he was unwilling to tend to him. This made Yang Xingchen so angry that he threw his newly bought phone into pieces.

The gossipers had spread the news of Dark Wing kiting a level 70 boss to the forum. In many players’ perspective, Li Yi was rumored to be a mysterious spokesman and some even thought that he was a GM. There were also players who believed that he was a closed beta player while there were also some who assumed that he had sold his *sshole to bribe the higher levels of the King of Pantheon…

Rumors filled up the entire space and Li Yi could not stop laughing after he heard them.

The preparation to the Instance Dungeon was complete. He had also encountered Yu Xuan a few times and killed him off as if he was a monster.

As Yu Xuan’s name was so red that it had turned purple, he had to drop an equipment every two to three deaths. At first, he did not believe it and insisted on fighting against Li Yi one on one. Yet over time, his rage grew as he fought on and tragedy finally fell upon him. He was killed by Li Yi so many times that he was only left with a pair of pants. However, he kept pulling himself up from the ground after each fall — he would not stop until he was satisfied.

Whereas Li Yi did not stop even when his equipment had broken. Li Yi was determined from the very beginning that he would kill him until he became a pet.

It was useless to call his men as well because Yu Xuan had called over three hundred people in order to overthrow Li Yi. In the end, not only was he not able to escape from death, but he had also brought tragedy to the people he had called upon as well.

“Our path doesn’t need to cross. Try and kill me if you think you can.”

Li Yi had made his intention perfectly clear to him.

“You’re even more troublesome than Old Green…” Yu Xuan said furiously before he went offline and he had never been online ever since.

The moment he was done dealing with Yu Xuan, I Love Beast Beast came to Li Yi.

He had no other choice. Yang Xingcheng was so anxious that he was about to jump over the fence and I Love Beast Beast had run out of ideas. As a result of their discussion, they concluded that they needed the person who had created the very problem to solve it since nobody could deal with the Giant Metal Scorpion.

“Tell me now. How much Gold Coins do you want?” I Love Beast Beast was very straightforward with his intention.

“1,000,000…”

“Are you trying to rob us?” I Love Beast Beast stared at him angrily.

Li Yi shook his head. “1,000,000 is too low. I need at least 3,000,000.”

“Dark Wing! Don’t you dare think that we, Star Fire Guild, is afraid of you! None of us will benefit if we oppose each other. We should forgive when we can!”

“I wonder who pulled the trigger first?” Li Yi smirked and started to gesticulate an amount. “5,000,000. Not a single coin less.”

I Love Beast Beast clenched his fists and stared at Li Yi without moving for five minutes before he sighed. “Fine. I’ll accept your request.”

Li Yi waved his hand. “I’ll be busy these two days, so I’ll do the day after tomorrow. Do remember to send the money to my account.”

“… Fine!” I Love Beast Beast tried his best to control his anger as he nodded.

They had to exhaust 50,000 Gold Coins with every day of delay. If they did not spend this money, their guild level would drop and the loss would be even greater then.

Of course, there was a much easier way to solve this problem. All they had to do was to disband their guild and build a new one with the cost of only 100 Gold Coins. All they had to do after that was to slowly level the guild back to level 6. So 5,000,000 Gold Coins were more than enough.

Everyone would have thought of the idea of disbanding the guild. However, Li Yi had already known what they would do beforehand.

The Star Fire Guild had existed for more than ten years and these three words were no longer just a simple name. It had become their pride. It was equivalent to forcing them to quit the guild if they were to give up on the guild’s name.

I Love Beast Beast added on, “I have a condition. I wish no outsider to know of this incident.”

Li Yi replied with extreme confidence.” Don’t worry. I’ll make sure no outsider knows about it.”

Li Yi’s account had an additional 5,000,000 Gold Coins 2 hours after I Love Beast Beast had left.

He left a few hundred thousands as he spent the remaining money to purchase Fire Crystal Rocks.

After having bought the Fire Crystal Rocks for so long, the Fire Crystal Rocks could hardly be seen outside of the market now. Other than obtaining it daily through the Instance Dungeon, the majority of the players did not have them in stock anymore.

Soon. Soon, the price of this item would go up.

Li Yi was so happy that his jaw dropped as he stared at the mountain of Fire Crystal Rocks stored in his inventory.

Chen Yang and Fire Ice had completed the indifferent Taka’s quest under Li Yi’s guidance. Both of them had bought ten properties each and the price of these lands had already started to increase. It was believed that they would soon earn another huge profit.

He kept re-doing the Official Position quests and he had also patronized the gifted items from the Pinewood Brigands. However, the rate of obtaining a good item was extremely low and he was rather frustrated as he failed every time.

Li Yi finally got promoted from his Official Position before he started to attempt clearing the King’s Dungeon. He had left behind his identity as a small soldier and became a soldier captain instead, where his street title was now First Sergeant.

As he got promoted from a small soldier to soldier captain, his authority had expanded as well. Li Yi could now mobilize 50 Shattered Frost City NPCs behind him and they would follow him wherever he went, which looked extremely imposing…

Naturally, this imposing vibe could only be enjoyed within the Shattered Frost City as the NPC soldiers would never follow him out of the city…

Ye Yingbing was placed as Li Yi’s subordinate. Every day, Li Yi could choose one out of the three quests for her to complete and he would automatically obtain the rewards after.

As the saying goes, a rank above makes a world’s difference was not a joke. The consequences of Li Yi killing people at the Shattered Frost City in broad daylight was merely a drop of his Reputation Value because no one would even bother attempt to capture him.

Since Li Yi was one of the sergeants who would help each other out, there was no need for an arrest…

“Soldier Ye Yingbing, kill those bandits outside of the city!”

After Li Yi gave out his order, Ye Yingbing immediately ran out of the city to complete her quest…

As Ye Yingbing ran back frantically, Li Yi told her, “The King’s Dungeon shall be clear today!”

Then, Li Yi then rode the Crimson Tiger King and left!

Pretty Good Mood led the core elites and was already waiting in the Instance Dungeon. They were all waiting for Li Yi before they started to clear Vladimir off.

The Little Drunk Cat’s core members were very powerful as they had killed the previous four bosses countless times without Li Yi’s assistance. Right now, they were only left with the boss Vladimir in the Instance Dungeon.

Li Yi, who was already inside the Instance Dungeon asked everyone, “Have you all taken the quest within the Heart of the Fire Dungeon, Let the Dead Rest In Peace?”

“Yes!” All 49 of them answered in unison. After being nurtured by Pretty Good Mood, their voice could tremble the sky. It was obvious that their qualities had improved tremendously.

Now, they had to defeat the Dwarf King Vladimir and release his soul!

This was the quest given by the soul of Vladimir inside the 5 men Instance Dungeon, Heart of the Fire Dungeon.

Naturally, players could still fight Vladimir regardless if they had taken the quest or not. The only difference was the continuation of the quests.

Li Yi nodded as he passed the party leader to Pretty Good Mood.

Since Li Yi had assigned Pretty Good Mood as the party leader, he must have had absolute trust in him. Li Yi’s rule of conduct was to use someone he had no doubts about and never use a person who was doubtful.

Pretty Good Mood looked at Li Yi gratefully as he stood up and explained the strategy to fight against Vladimir in detail.

The Dwarf King had a total of four stages. The first stage was not of any difficulty as all they had to do was beware of the Fire Warhammer and they could clear the first stage with ease. The difficulty arose from stage two onwards where there was a possibility that they could be wiped out if they were careless. Hence, they could only depend on everyone’s awareness. The third stage was even more difficult as the Dwarf King would be in Berserk Mode. The aggro would be randomized and one would die by a hit of his hammer. There were only a handful of guilds that had managed to pass this stage whereas the majority of the guilds were stuck in this stage.

“While I think it’s a good idea to activate the Cheetah’s Protection to increase SPD and EVA, we must not suffer any damage while Cheetah’s Protection is still active since we will be stunned from the attack. Furthermore, the Dwarf King may randomly release his earthquake skill at this stage as well. Hence, we won’t be using this method.”

“My idea of approaching this is to surround the Dwarf King with our main tanks to immobilize him. Them, we only have to jump to evade his earthquake. However, this may be very challenging to the main tanks as they only have 0.3 seconds to react the moment the Dwarf King plunges his Warhammer down onto the ground. They will, without a doubt, die if they can’t react in time. I wonder if everyone is able to do it?”

“I can!”

“Me too!”

All ten of the party’s main tanks expressed their opinion.

After going through their training, all the party members were filled with confidence. While Pretty Good Mood should be credited for this, what needed to be credited more was their own hard work.

Pretty Good Moon then said, “The Dwarf King will have about 1,000,000 left when he enters stage four. In my opinion, I believe we should nuke it to death!”

“Do you guys have any comments? You can voice out if you do.”

Everyone, including Li Yi, shook his head; everybody there had no comment at all.

“Alright. If there’s no comment we will start in 5 minutes. Let’s buff up now!”

50 people sat on the ground. Some were eating their bread, some were drinking water. Some of them were even using scrolls as well. On the other hand, the members who were responsible for the buffs started buffing everyone methodologically and the party was soon filled with buffs.

Pretty Good Mood nodded his head in satisfaction after he inspected the status.

“We’re not competing for the highest DPS in this boss raid. We won’t be getting any additional Guild Points for having a higher DPS. There’s only one way to obtain Guild Points, and that’s to kill this boss!”

“Party leader. I want to sing!” a member who was starting to feel anxious raised up his hand and spoke.

“Sing my *ss!” The remaining 40 plus people boo-ed in unison.

“Time’s up! Let’s begin!”

Pretty Good Mood waved his hand and the 50 men party started to move.

The Dwarf King Vladimir, who was twenty meters tall stood on the stage with two giant warhammers in his hands. Behind him were four dwarf elites standing in a row.

“Listen to my command. Wizards, are you ready? Main tanks get into position. 1, 2, 3, Wizards attack!”

Pretty Good Mood shouted and four Wizards moved forward while the Sheep Transformation Spell was cast.

Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!

The four dwarf elites were turned into little sheep. They baa-ed as they ran around on the field freely.

“I’ve witnessed countless empires prosper and wilt. I’ve also witnessed countless beings grow and perish. For hundreds of thousands of years, the human’s stupidity remains. And you who came here today has proved that point again!”

The Dwarf King Vladimir raised his warhammer up and smashed it onto the ground.

“Bam!”

A shockwave spread out!

“Go to hell!”
