MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

Panda Novel

Li Yi was aware of the Yellow-robed Priest Ah Ye. After all, Ah Ye was one of the top three main healers of the Southern Continent in his previous life whose healing output had been ranked higher than both Nirvana Inaction and Little Elf from the Magical Realm.

Ever since Li Yi first laid eyes on him, he had already decided that Ah Ye must die!

Boom!

Without even sparing a single second, Li Yi assaulted Alex immediately after defeating Ah Ye. The gap between them was negligible, and as such, there was no way for Alex to dodge.

Pew!

A pale blue arrow landed precisely on Alex’s chest and a gust of frigid air surged upwards, freezing him in place.

Frost Arrow’s freezing effect had procced!

Li Yi had refrained from using his skills to prevent Alex from retaliating by utilizing skills like Phantom Footprints. Furthermore, there was also a chance of freezing Alex by shooting normally!

However, Li Yi had not expected to proc on his first strike.

Li Yi quickly dashed forward and laid two traps underneath Alex. The traps that he had planted were Frost Trap and Explosion Trap respectively.

Then, he quickly circled behind Alex and began to charge up Powered-up Arrow.

Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrr—

Powered-up Arrow flew into Alex’s left shoulder and once the Freeze status had timed out, Li Yi bombarded him with Repelling Arrows.

“Chain Arrow Skill!”

Tch—

Alex stumbled backward, triggering the Frost Trap. Once again, he was frozen into a popsicle…

“Eliminate! Explosion!”

After experiencing the combined strength of Elimination Arrow and Explosion Trap, Alex was now like Amber Sword Heart. That is to say, he was lying on the ground in bafflement.

Even in the face of reality, he could hardly believe that he was taken down that quickly.

‘I couldn’t even block a single strike!’

With its owner dead, the ferocious Giant Frost Tiger vanished…

It was a three-on-one battle, but Li Yi wiped them out effortlessly!

“God-like…” Jiaojiao’s petite mouth was still wide open…

This time, Alex dropped no items and instead, it was the Yellow-robed Priest, Ah Ye that had dropped a piece of equipment. It was a Level 60 purple-colored ring called Anler’s Holy Light Ring. Not only was its stats excellent, but it also possessed a special effect that increased the effectiveness of healing skills by 30%.

Since Fire Ice owned Holy Light Illumination, her healing output was still acceptable for the moment. Thus, the purple-colored ring was best suited for Little Elf from the Magical Realm.

“Let’s go. What’s there to look at? It’s not like they’re going to stand up that quickly.”

Li Yi ushered Jiaojiao as he proceeded into the proper path.

“And why’s that?”

“All of them are self-proclaimed experts. Since they lost to me in a one-on-three battle, they’re definitely feeling embarrassed and unsatisfied. Despite that, they wouldn’t dare to face me before coming up with a solid plan.”

Resurrecting on the spot came with a short period of Weakness (Varies depending on the character’s level. The shortest possible period is 20 seconds). During this time, the player would face a massive drop in stats and even Jiaojiao then would have no difficulty in handling Amber Sword Heart.

Jiajiao accepted Li Yi’s words and hoisted her greatsword as she entered the pathway.

Jiaojiao had located the path into the depths of the dungeon, unlike what they had expected, it was not below them, but instead, above them. Its position was very hidden, and they needed to scan the area thoroughly to locate it.

Li Yi and Jiaojiao scurried into the path, but to their surprise, they did not receive a notification that stated their arrival to the depths of the Wailing Grotto. According to their minimap, they had confirmed that they were still within the central region of the Wailing Grotto.

“F*ck! How can the secret pathway be fake?” Li Yi cursed angrily.

“Let’s just keep going. Sigh, this Fame Quest isn’t fun at all.”

The two of them proceeded warily. Before long, they encountered new monsters.

They were not patched snakes, nor were they frogmen or insects. Instead, they were a type of dark elemental lifeforms.

The Dark Elementals’ body resembled wisps of black smoke. They had no appendages, but they could fly. In addition, they utilized two methods of attacking. One of which was a close-ranged attack that sucks its target’s hit points and the other was a long-ranged black ray of light.

Both attacks were devastating and since the dark element’s specialty was in reducing stats, both the HP drain and black ray could take out a huge chunk of players’ stats. Worse still, it took some time for their stats to recover.

After slaying ten or so Dark Elementals, Li Yi and Jiaojiao were at the end of their rope.

Their stats had plunged by a factor of ten or so, and even then, the debuff could be stacked up till a maximum of 99 stacks which lasted for 10 minutes.

“I can’t go on. My HP has been reduced and my attacks are weak now. I can’t do this anymore.” With the greatsword in hand, Jiaojiao shook her head vigorously.

“Let’s take a break then. Once my friend summoning tool’s cooldown is over, I’ll call over Pretty Good Mood and we’ll use his Scarab King to forge a path.”

“Alright.”

Li Yi and Jiaojiao sat down. It was then, that Li Yi received a system notification.

[Hunter Goddess has successfully refined Divine Jade. The third seal on Gift of the Hunter Goddess, Wrath of the Stars has been successfully unlocked!]

“Goddess, why are you such a troll?”

“‘Troll’? That word sounds oddly distasteful.” The fusion with the Divine Jade had seemingly raised Hunter Goddess’ intellect, which allowed her to identify the negative connotation of the word ‘troll’.

“Too little, too late! Usually, when the hero encounters a great peril, their divine weapon or martial arts would undergo a sudden limit break to overwhelm their opponents. On the other hand, you appear only after I’ve resolved my problems…”

“I see, so this is what you meant by ‘troll’…” Hunter Goddess had been enlightened.

However, Li Yi was being sarcastic. Although he had already anticipated it beforehand, he was still blown away by the newly introduced special effect of his upgraded orange bow.

The reward for unleashing the seal was not a special skill, but instead a special effect!

“Goddess, scr*w you! If I had gotten this special effect half an hour ago, Amber Sword Heart and the likes of him would’ve been nothing but trash before me.”

“Scr*w me?” Hunter Goddess was startled once more.

“Scr*w means to violently beat something.”

“Ah, I get it…”

…

Back within the hallway where Amber Sword Heart and his party had died, Hua Feiwu, Hua Feihua, and Scumbag Wang were hiding at a corner as they patiently waited for them to resurrect.

Camping their corpses was Hua Feiwu and Scumbag Wang’s idea. The two ‘buddies’ agreed unanimously whenever it came to camping corpses.

“Lil bro, Lil Wang, their levels are much higher than ours. Do you think that we stand a chance?” Worry was written all over Hua Feihua’s face.

Hua Feiwu was brimming with confidence. “Worry not, as my dark magic can cover the entire area. Just remember to target whoever that stands up first. Whatever you do, make sure to always hit the same target. Since they’re under the effects of Weakness, they wouldn’t be able to stand up to us. Scumbag Wang, scr*w you! Why are you groping my butt?”

“Seeing your sister has made me lose control. Since she still hasn’t accepted my request, I can’t touch her. As such, I will make do with your *ss.”

“F*ck you!”

Hua Feiwu raised his staff with the intention to strike down Scumbag Wang but he was stopped by Hua Feihua.

“Stop arguing! Look, Alex is standing up!”

“Attack!”

“Light of Destruction! Deathstorm! Charge! Windblade!”

The three of them lashed out when Alex was still weak and at low health. He had already surveyed the surrounding area for enemies in his soul form before standing up, but he had miscalculated…

It could only be attributed to Hua Feiwu and his party’s good fortune that they had attacked only after Alex had finished surveying in soul form.

Alex died instantly and a purple-colored equipment dropped from his corpse.

‘It’s a chest armor! A purple-colored quality armor!’

Since Hua Feihua and Hua Feiwu were long-ranged attackers and Scumbag Wang was the first to reach Alex’s side, the armor was naturally his for the taking.

“Sage’s Glorious Robes, Level 60, and INT +500. It comes with two special effects, one that reduces the enemies Crit strength and the other reduces cast time by 30%. Ooh, it also boosts the party’s INT by 50 points.”

As Scumbag Wang read out the Purple-colored armor’s stats, the Hua siblings’ eyes glinted with greed.

“Brother Wang, give that armor to me. I’m a spellcaster, after all.” Hua Feiwu’s attitude took a 180-degree turn.

“Lil Wang, give that armor to me and I’ll be in your debt.” Hua Feihua was similarly desperate.

Scumbag Wang snickered smugly. With one leg on top of Alex’s corpse, he waved his hands to disintegrate the purple-colored armor that was worth tens of thousands of Gold Coins.

He had decomposed Sage’s Glorious Robes…

“You need to crush the enemy thoroughly by trampling all of his hopes. Sister Hua and Uncle, I hope you’ve learned your lesson…”

“Light of Destruction! Deathstorm! Windblade!”

The Hua siblings had enough. Before Scumbag Wang could finish his speech, he was cut down simultaneously by the Hua siblings.

“Did you get kicked in the face by a donkey? That was a piece of Epic-level equipment that you decomposed. Even if we didn’t use it, we could’ve gotten rich with it. F****CCCKKK, I’m going crazy.” Hau Feiwu had nearly vomited blood in frustration.

Hua Feihua clutched her slender arms. She was trembling slightly and she had nothing to say to Scumbag Wang.

It was especially devastating to Alex, who had borne witness to the decomposition of his hard-earned equipment. He felt as if his heart was sliced in half, and his emotions had spiraled out of control.

“SCUMBAG WANG!!!” Alex bellowed and immediately released his soul to corpse run…

Amber Sword Heart had revived. He swiftly drank a bottle of Super HP Potion as Hua Feiwu lunged at him. The attack did not exceed 2,000 damage and remember, Amber Sword Heart was still in a Weakened state!

“Charge!”

Amber Sword Heart shot like an arrow towards Hua Feihua. He brandished his greatsword and hacked furiously at her.

As the incident showed, even in a Weakened State, Amber Sword Heart was still too much for the Hua siblings to handle. Amber Sword Heart ignored Hua Feiwu’s attacks as he beat down Hua Feihua. In no time at all, Hua Feihua was already dead.

Hua Feiwu was next on the list. The yellow-robed Priest, Ah Ye had now revived as well. The first thing he did after his revival was to cast a group heal, which greatly reduced the weight on Amber Sword Heart’s shoulders. Within ten seconds, he had pulverized Hua Feiwu.

Hua Feihua had gotten off lucky, but the same could not be said for Hua Feiwu. He dropped two items in his death, one of which, was his gold-colored staff and the other was his gold-colored shoes.

Greatsword in hand, Amber Sword Heart stared wordlessly at the corpses on the floor.

“Sword Heart, I understand your strength. However, don’t you think that you were too reckless this time? After all, Dark Wing is known all throughout the Eastern Continent. Could he have achieved this without any skill?” The yellow-robed Priest, Ah Ye let out a long sigh. They had suffered heavy losses this time…

“Even human garbage like these have come to camp us! How dare these scum! How dare they!” Amber Sword Heart pointed his finger at the corpses of the Hua Party. He would give anything to crush them once more.

After a while, Alex had finally revived. Immediately after his revival, he summoned Giant Frost Tiger and camped Scumbag Wang’s corpse with a foul temper.

“From this day forth, I will dedicate all my time to camp you until you’re Level 0. Otherwise, I will delete my account!” Alex was truly enraged.

Right after Alex closed his voice channel, Scumbag Wang’s corpse disappeared.

Scumbag Wang had chosen to lose three levels and he had returned back to his country…

“I’ll never give my enemies the satisfaction of revenge! Instead, I’ll ruin them with their own anger!”
