MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

Panda Novel

“I have recognized your loyalty, but your friends beside you are a precious existence. Once you lose them, can they return to your side?”

An icy cold voice rang out and the Curse Book automatically flew out of Li Yi’s backpack, transforming into a virtual humanoid statue.

Clad in majestic black armor, this was the virtual projection of the Great Evil God that was banished into an alternate dimension.

“My physical body is not here, this virtual projection only has a ten-thousandth of my full power, but if you use it to save your friend, it shouldn’t pose any problems.”

The Evil God took a deep breath and blew at Little Elf from the Magical Realm’s corpse. She revived on the spot instantly. Her body was also enveloped by a golden light, she had leveled up.

This is a blessing from the Evil God…

When doing the “Kill your partner who does not believe in the Evil God” quest, choosing to kill or not to kill will lead to two different results. If you choose to kill your partner, this would be the result, the Evil God will appear, reviving your partner and granting them a level.

If you choose not to kill, the Evil God will still appear, but he would be astonished by the players who refused to kill, rewarding them with a level and ending the quest.

Li Yi killed Little Elf from the Magical Realm because he wanted the Evil God to grant her a level.

Within short ten seconds’ deliberation, Li Yi had to make a choice. Either him or her, someone had to die. If no one did then, the whole Curse Book continuation quests, all of them will be ended right there and then.

“I gained a level?” asked Little Elf from the Magical Realm in surprise.

“Quest requirement.” Li Yi chuckled.

Little Elf from the Magical Realm narrowed her eyes. After looking at Li Yi a while, she finally shook her head.

“I have been imprisoned for ten thousand years, I’ve been forced out of my own home. Now that I’m in an alternate dimension, I suffer every day. What have I done wrong? Nothing! The ones who were in the wrong are those bunch of detestable gods!

“I need the help of loyal subjects. I have picked you, Dark Wing!”

The Evil God pointed at Li Yi, and a set of green Cursing Sect robes appeared out of nowhere, slowly dropping into Li Yi’s hands.

“These are garments of the Cursing Sect, wear it and meet Maseru, he shall tell you what to do next.”

The Virtual Evil God Statue projection faded away, whereas Li Yi’s quest pane now had a new quest, [Maseru’s Orders].

“Holy Light Almighty, young man, quickly throw away those evil-looking clothes. You should not be holding it!”

An elder in a white robe appeared at the entrance of the hidden room, stopping him. Above the head of this elder was a name – Holy Light Archbishop Karlinthor.

System Notification: [Your participation in the Cursing Sect activities has been discovered by Church of Holy Light Archbishop Karlinthor. Your Reputational Value with the Church of Holy Light decreased by 3000 points. Your current Reputational Value with the Church of Holy Light is -3000 points.]

Li Yi once again had a choice, throw away the uniform or ignore the warning.

Without even a hint of hesitation, Li Yi kept the Cursing Sect uniform.

The Reputational Value with the Church of Holy Light was only useful for priests, wizards, and paladins. To an archer, having it or not did not matter in the slightest.

“Holy Light Almighty, young man, have you fallen and turned into another fang for the Evil God?”

Karlinthor’s hand now held a pure white staff, as he furiously pointed it at Li Yi.

[Karlinthor, Level 90 Elite, 18,000,000 HP, Class: (Archbishop) Light Priest.]

Even if Li Yi was Level 100, he would still be no match for this guy, much less now when his current level was so much lower. This was because this Archbishop Karlinthor was one of the Legendary characters within the same caliber as Dragon Rider Augustus’.

Waving his hand, a ray of Holy Light bounded towards them, rendering Li Yi and Little Elf from the Magical Realm immobile.

“The fangs of the Evil God cannot be allowed to live in this world. Holy Light Almighty, give me strength and cleanse the evil before me!”

A pillar of Holy Light thicker than Li Yi’s body shot out of the front of Karlinthor’s staff, heading directly toward Li Yi.

“Fool, how dare you lay a hand on the servant I’ve picked. Karlinthor, are you sick of living?”

The Virtual Evil God Statue appeared once more. With a wave of its hand, it completely dissipated Karlinthor’s Holy Light. With a shake of its sleeve, Karlinthor was kicked out of the hidden room.

“The Evil God has descended, Holy Light Almighty…”

Before Karlinthor even finished his sentence, the Virtual Evil God Statue once again waved his hand. A huge force flung forward, once again throwing Karlinthor into the air.

Even if it was just a virtual projection, the Evil God’s power still exceeded that of Archbishop Karlinthor’s several hundreds times over.

The Virtual Evil God Statue chanted a weird curse and a pitch black teleportation door appeared in front of Li Yi.

“Pass through this door and depart this place. Hurry, I can’t maintain my power for much longer.”

Li Yi dragged Little Elf from the Magical Realm and walked into the teleportation door.

As the two once again reappeared in the Curse Land, Little Elf from the Magical Realm let out a cheer of joy.

Now that she no longer had to walk in that eerily dark secret passage, of course, she would be ecstatic.

Li Yi immediately put on the green Cursing Sect uniform. His appearance instantly changed to that of an average Cursing Sect follower, even the name displayed above his head would be forcefully changed into Rare Cursing Sect Follower.

The Curse Book was split into three volumes. The questline could be accepted as long as you possessed one of the volumes, but not only would the quest completion rewards decrease, but when the Evil God rewarded you with the Cursing Sect uniform, the color you would receive would also be different.

If you only had one volume when you accepted the quest, you would receive a red robe, your position would be similar to that of the Cursing Sect’s lowest monsters; if you had two volumes, you would receive a blue robe, your position would be that of a Cursing Sect Elite; if you had all three volumes, you would receive a green robe, your position in the Cursing Sect would be a Super Rare Elite whose position is second only to Maseru and Margaret.

“What are these clothes? Why do I see your name as a Red Name Attackable State?” Little Elf from the Magical Realm was surprised.

“My current identity is a Cursing Sect follower, if you kill me you would not receive any penalty, but you won’t receive any EXP either.” Li Yi chuckled.

“That OP? Then as long as you’re wearing those clothes, then wouldn’t you be able to kill anyone without getting a Red Name?”

“I could in theory, but…” Li Yi shook his head, “These clothes can only be used in Cursing Sect territories. For example, if I leave the Curse Land now, the disguise effect would also disappear.”

“I’m starting to regret picking the Light Path now.”

“Don’t As long as you continue doing the questline, there’ll be a nice surprise waiting for you.”

The rewards for the Light Path at the end were also not bad. This was something Li Yi had already known early on, otherwise, he would not have allowed those who obtained the Curse Book with him to pick whichever questline they pleased.

Li Yi took off the Cursing Sect uniform and joined Little Elf from the Magical Realm to fight off monsters as they proceeded. Once he put on the uniform he would be on the side of the Cursing Sect Followers, but Little Elf from the Magical Realm could not do that. So, he had no choice but to proceed slowly and babysit her.

“If a group of players like you appeared in the Curse Land, that would be insanely terrifying.”

“Do you think Curse Books were so easy to farm? Other than the second volume being trash, the other two’s rarity is comparable to that of legendary equipment. I… I searched it up on the official website, the drop rate is so low that it rendered me speechless.”

As the two continued with their conversation, they once again arrived at the Evil God Altar, Once Li Yi had Little Elf from the Magical Realm hide, he once again put on his Cursing Sect uniform and walked up to the black and white bosses to talk.

Li Yi was now a Cursing Sect green-robe Rare Elite, he was a figure of high honor. All the red-robed and blue-robed monsters would bow down to him in a friendly manner as soon as they saw him. However, he ignored them, walking proudly through the group of monsters, even patting a red-robed monster’s shoulder at the very end, leaving Little Elf from the Magical Realm green with envy.

“Did you see that? That’s a sign of encouragement by the Lords Special Envoy to me, praise the Almighty Evil God…” The red-robed monster was so touched that he started tearing up.

Talking to the black and white bosses while wearing the Cursing Sect uniform would not only prevent them from attacking you, it would also allow you to receive daily quests from them.

The quest Margaret gives out was to check the number of the blue-robed elites. That quest was extremely satisfying. Every time the blue-robed elites respawned, there would be one to five of them that spawned. Once you received the quest, you could immediately report or in other words, guess between the numbers of one to five. If you got it wrong you could just try again, so you would essentially get EXP immediately.

In comparison to Margaret’s quest, Maseru’s quest was ridiculous.

“Go check the number of red-robed followers.”

The Curse Lands were so absurdly large, and the red-robed follower’s spawn rate was completely random, with more than 50,000 of them at a time. You could not even get a single integer in the number wrong, if this was not ridiculous, what was? Other than Emperor Pain-in-the-ass, there was absolutely no one who would do it.

After accepting Margaret’s daily quest and receiving 100 Gold and 100 points of Cursing Sect Reputational Value, Li Yi ended his conversation with the black and white bosses for now.

Although he had the endorsement of the Evil God, Li Yi’s current Cursing Sect Reputational Value was still far too low, it had not reached the requirement for Maseru and Margaret to issue the Curse Book continuation quest yet.

After completing his daily quest, the black and white bosses were now useless to him. Just as Li Yi was about to remove his disguise and kill them, he suddenly heard voices from afar.

There are players coming!

The Cursing Sect Followers had a special trait. Right before they entered a battle, they would group up together and start whispering to each other. Their voices were so soft that no one could make out what they were saying, but that was the reason why Li Yi had a hunch.

His hunch turned out to be right. The War God Clan group that had retreated earlier once again returned to this place.

“I was wondering just now, if we subtract the increase in the bosses’ HP from the eight of us, the bosses” HP still had an additional 1,000,000 points.”

“There’s definitely some other players nearby.”

Nameless War God surveyed his surroundings, instantly spotting the housewife standing in the corner – Little Elf from the Magical Realm.

“Hey beautiful, do you mind?”

“Mind what?”

“We want to fight the bosses, so would you mind leaving? These two bosses’ HP will increase with the number of people. With you hanging out over here, we won’t be able to beat them.”

Little Elf from the Magical Realm raised her eyebrow, seemingly wanting to say something. However, she stopped as soon as she shot a glance in the direction of the Evil God Altar before slightly frowning, “Alright, I’ll let you guys go just this once.”

After Little Elf from the Magical Realm left, Nameless War God and company saw that the black and white bosses HP decreased by 500,000 points, then collectively let out a sigh of relief. Now that was more like it. (Li Yi was wearing the Cursing Sect uniform, so it would not increase the bosses’ HP cap).

“Guild Leader, look at the altar, there’s a super rare green-robed Elite there!” A thief from the eight suddenly exclaimed.

A super rare green-robed Elite, that was something one could never hope for.

Peerless War God shot a glare at the other seven members. The meaning behind it was obvious – even if they could not defeat the black and white bosses, they must defeat the super rare green-robed Elite!

“Go!”

Under Peerless War God’s orders, the eight members charged towards the Evil God Altar…
