MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks
Chapter 426 - The Black Dragon's Schemes
Panda Novel
The Frosty Wolf was the strongest. It had high SPD, was skilled in kiting attacks, and has around 200000 HP. When the Black Dragon Princess was in her dragon form, her HP value showed ???, but her human form only had 51232 HP. The gap between the two HP values was too big.
The two Frosty Wolf has ignored Li Yi entirely and instead focused their attacks on the Black Dragon Princess only. The HP bar above the Black Dragon Princess’s head had halved after just two bites.
Sssst!
Fire appeared under Li Yi’s feet when he made his way to approach the Black Dragon Princess and stomped the ground before her.
“Flaming Dragon’s Roar!”
“Boom!”
The two Frost Wolves were thrown far away by the impact. The Black Dragon Princess was rescued from imminent danger.
“Much thanks, sir…” The Black Dragon Princess thanked Li Yi with genuine gratitude. Once again, Li Yi has received a System Notification that indicated their increasing Affinity towards each other.
Oh, this was a good method to improve the Affinity value.
Li Yi chuckled when an idea popped into his mind.
The Violent Bear King scouted the road beyond. Before they could go any further, two other Frost Wolves ran to them again.
“Mislead!”
Li Yi secretly applied a Mislead on Oxyxia before raising his arms to shoot at one of the Frost Wolves.
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
The three Meteor Arrows homed in, causing the Frost Wolf to show a [-21932] damage value above its head.
“Awoooh!”
The aggro of the Frost Wolves has shifted as it ran towards Onyxia instead.
“Blizzard!”
Both of Onyxia’s feet floated away from the ground when she cast the spell of Blizzard once more.
Onyxia’s spells dealt extremely low damage that only shaved off around 1000 HP from the Frost Wolf when Blizzard managed to hit it. With such a low attack power and a fragile HP, she would die very easily if she was not protected properly.
The quest would fail the moment she died, and it will be a problem to get close to Onyxia in the future. With such high stakes, Li Yi was very cautious throughout the battle.
The Frost Wolf pounced towards Onyxia. Just when it wanted to take a bite, Li Yi used the Repelling Arrow to cause it to back off by three meters.
“Crippling Shot! Meteor Arrow!”
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
The word Combo appeared repeatedly above the Frost Wolf’s head. It perished under Li Yi’s combo before it even had the chance to retaliate.
“Thank you, sir…” Onyxia gazed at Li Yi appreciatively. The System Notification rang again.
[Onyxia’s Affinity has increased by 100 points!]
Sure enough, it worked!
Li Yi was overwhelmed with joy. Then, he followed this formula and would Mislead one Frost Wolf to Onyxia just to improve the Affinity between them…
…
On the Invincible Continent, everyone in the Iron Alliance all shared the same goal of continuous leveling. Currently, the Assembled Gods guild led by Amber Sword Heart has pushed to the final Boss in the Light Conference. With 5% of its HP left, they were a hair’s breadth away from clearing the dungeon.
Some guilds were influenced by Li Yi and have resolutely given up on the Light Conference to join the leveling effort. This was what happened to Reigning the World, a guild from the Western Continent. They had given up their progress in the dungeon and focused all their efforts into leveling up. Presently, only a handful of guilds that have made good progress in the dungeon were still reluctant to give up and continued their efforts in clearing the dungeon.
As the Great Commander of the Iron Alliance, Pretty Good Mood has long stopped questioning this approach. He would routinely update Li Yi the progress made in the Light Conference, spending the rest of his time to level up his character.
There was only one Boss in the Black Dragon Legion, which was a mutated double-headed dragon made by the hands of the Black Dragon King Ferrian himself. Named Sarum, this dragon had no other ability aside from laying eggs that could hatch in record time. It would only take two hours for a newly laid egg of Sarum to hatch.
The Black Dragon Legion was thus packed to the brim with dragon whelps and whelplings that were all born from Sarum. If Sarum was not killed, it would then commence the unending cycle of egg-laying and egg-hatching.
The EXP value rose with an astonishing speed that was more than three times quicker when compared to farming same-level monsters in the wild.
Without Li Yi, they would never be able to farm in the Black Dragon Legion even if they were to fight until they died of exhaustion. The one-minute long Breath of Deathwing was enough to keep everyone blocked outside. Presently, only Li Yi the anomaly could survive under that blast.
Lonely Semi City has also joined the leveling efforts in the Black Dragon Legion. Only Jiaojiao and the others still hid in the Naga Altar for a stress-free leveling experience.
Five days passed in just a blink of an eye. Jiaojiao and the Little Elf from the Magical Realm have both reached Level 100 and obtained the title “Second in the Continent” and “Third in the Continent” respectively. Their reward, when compared to Li Yi, were different. They were only rewarded with 10 Skill Points, and they do not have the ‘no level drop from PK-ing’ privilege either. Instead, they were only rewarded with the ‘no equipment drops when dying in Instant Dungeons’ privilege.
Just when Fire Ice was about to hit the level cap, a row of System Notifications had flooded both the Western and the Eastern Continents respectively. Another three players have reached the level cap and took away the title of Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth off the board. When Fire Ice has finally reached Level 100, she could only get the ‘Seventh in the Continent’ title.
Li Yi’s worries were not wrong after all. Outside from Lonely Semi City, there were many other leveling maniacs outside in the Pantheon World that housed over a hundred million players. They would never be able to catch up with them if they did not use the buggy leveling ground that was the Naga Altar.
These surprises that happened one after the other has caused obvious dissatisfactions among many players. They went to the official website to complain and drag Pantheon through the mud. They claimed that illegal manipulations were present in the Level Rankings. However, this rumor was broken soon enough.
Those leveling madmen that have always dominated the front of the rankings released their leveling methods to the official website. Soon, various efficient leveling methods have flooded the website and they nearly blinded the eyes of all players.
In the Pantheon World, powerhouses were everywhere!
These days, Li Yi has always been in the Frosty Wolf Cave at the North Pole because he found out that Onyxia would disappear whenever he goes offline and appear when he comes back online. This has given him great relief and he no longer held any reservations in his Affinity improvement plans.
His strategy was to cast multiple Misleads on Onyxia as a way to incite the Frosty Wolf to attack her. The Affinity value would thus increase, and even though it was a mere 100 at a time, but the accumulated amount would still be very shocking.
However, Li Yi was very frustrated by one thing. Onyxia’s Affinity seemed to have too high of a threshold. Their relationship was stagnant, and it was stuck at Friendly even after so long.
Did this method not work?
Li Yi was puzzled again.
In his past life, the only player that has an Onyxia mount was him. Thus, there was no such thing as a ‘walkthrough’ on this aspect…
He killed many wolves along the way. Li Yi and Onyxia have now arrived at the deepest depths in the Frosty Wolf Cave. The glittering Glacial Crystal Essence was located not far away and could be seen if they were to look up.
They had the choice of whether to fight the Frosty Wolf King Boss. Li Yi was now trapped in a dilemma of whether he should take the Glacial Crystal Essence or to continue increasing the Affinity value.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
A number of crisp jingles were heard, and a red System Notification started to flash before his eyes.
[The Black Dragon Clan has plotted a scheme to trick Dark Wing the Castellan away before launching a surprise attack at the Shattered Frost City!]
[Monsters are now laying siege at the city!]
Li Yi was stunned but soon he erupted into laughter.
It turned out that Onyxia’s true goal of issuing this quest to himself was actually this…
Since he was already away from the city, this scheme of the Black Dragon Clan has already succeeded. The attack powers of the Black Dragon Army has increased, and they had gone forward to ambush the Shattered Frost City.
At this moment, Onyxia urged, “Sir, hurry and take the Glacial Crystal Essence! Help me to cleanse the curse of the ancestral Dragon Ring.”
System Notification: [The Castellan of the Shattered Frost City, Dark Wing, has seen through the schemes of the Black Dragon Clan. Early on, he had dispatched the army to form a blockade outside the city. The Black Dragon Army was stopped, and their morale is down…]
System Notification: [The Castellan of the Wind Capital has rushed to aid. The Black Dragon Army was sandwiched between two adversarial armies. The Black Dragon Army was defeated and suffered from great losses…]
System Notification: [Clan Master of the World Guild, Invincible Jiaojiao, has activated the King’s Order to call the army against the Black Dragon Army. The Black Dragon Army was defeated completely…]
The System Notifications flooded his display one after another. Li Yi enjoyed the sight that unfolded before him.
Since only players could see the System Notifications, Onyxia has no access whatsoever to the System Notification no matter how intelligent she was. This was one of the special privileges for only players!
Onyxia could not understand what had happened and kept on urging, “Sir, what are you laughing at? Quick, take the Glacial Crystal Essence. We cannot waste any more time.”
Li Yi stopped walking entirely and did not continue his journey.
Onyxia has cheated to get him here. Now, since her objective was completed, would she shed all her pretenses of cordiality if he were to take the Glacial Crystal Essence?
That was highly likely to happen. This Black Dragon lady was too sinister for her own good.
It was no wonder why their relationship has not improved even if the Affinity has been increasing non-stop these few days. Not only the quest was fake, but even the Affinity gained was fake too.
Li Yi made a difficult decision as he looked at the agitated Onyxia.
He changed his battle mode. He drank a bottle of Fury Potion and activated both the Heart of a Clear Mirror and God Mode before aiming and shooting arrows at Onyxia.
“Meteor… Elimination Arrow!”
Ssst ssst ssst ssst!
Three Meteor and one Elimination killed Onyxia immediately from where she stood…
Ding! Ding! Red System Notifications appeared again.
System Notification: [The Castellan of the Shattered Frost City, Dark Wing, has exposed the tricks of Onyxia the Black Dragon Princess. He had launched a surprise attack to kill her in one fell swoop!]
System Notification: [The Black Dragon Army has retreated to Black Rock Mountain. The Shattered Frost City was protected. All players who participated in the battle has received generous rewards.]
He had made the correct choice!
Li Yi heaved a long exhale and looked at Onyxia’s body on the ground. Then, he reached out toward the body.
He had no idea whether he could loot Onyxia in her human form. He only intended to test his idea, and were willing to do anything just so he would not miss anything.
Ding!
[You have found a secret letter on Katrana’s body.]
Sure enough, looting was possible. This was a quest item.
This was a letter written by Onyxia’s father, Deathwing. It was written in human language that Li Yi could understand.
This letter was written for Akna. Basically, Deathwing has extended his invitation to Akna the God-Devourer to come to Black Rock Mountain for a short meetup and discuss something called a Dragon Clan Improvement Plan.
Akna, the rare Level 100 World Boss, has her footprint over all four continents. However, she would mostly stay around the North Pole Continent.
Could it be that the reason Onyxia had lured him to the North Pole was not only to get him away from the city but to deliver the letter to Akna too?
The King of Pantheon offers a lot of freedom when it comes to quests, where the development of all accepted quests was largely determined by the actions of the player. Even when Li Yi has accepted such a problematic quest, his choices have led him to discover the secret behind the quest.
Li Yi finally understood what was going on when he finished reading the secret letter.
Li Yi did not go to fight the Frosty Wolf King. The Boss was too difficult to fight and would drop only materials and not equipment. He had no interest in a Boss like that.
Now, he was extremely interested in Akna, and had decided to deliver the letter in Onyxia’s place!
