MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

Panda Novel

Double Curse, Infection, Blood Boil!

Sst! Bang, bang, bang!

All area damage!

After Tyrone’s escape was blocked for the second time, its attack methods have changed. Its Aggro had gone haywire, and all of its attacks had an additional Repel effect.

“Death’s Grasp!”

An unlucky Wizard was dragged by Tyrone’s greatsword. It came down on the wizard in one swing and killed him immediately.

“Dark Strike!”

The arduous part has arrived. Tyrone could not Charge, but the Deathcharger had such a high SPD that it still managed to repeatedly break through the blockage even though it was being surrounded by the 9 main tanks.

Tyrone’s HP kept on recovering, so they had to keep attacking it and defending themselves against it. Thus, this part of the battle was the part where a TPK was most likely to happen.

The group of 200 people had dispersed according to Li Yi’s order.

If Tyrone were to chase them, the party would retreat immediately. If Tyrone went for an escape, they would chase after it…

This battle of chasing back and forth persisted for a very long time. If Li Yi and his team did not achieve Level 85 and did not have a combat mount, Tyrone’s HP would have recovered completely long ago.

Chase, block, surround, retreat!

It might seem like Tyrone only had around 70000000 HP, but it had a piece of powerful equipment that could automatically reinstate its HP. It was a Boss that was more frustrating to beat than the Four Roaches.

Half an hour had passed in the midst of constant HP resumption and breakthroughs. Tyrone had 30000000 HP left while at least half of the players were left without any mana.

The players’ mana would recover in battles according to their level of Spirit Power. The most important attribute for Priests and Sky Vagabonds was Spirit Power.

Tyrone was so powerful that the team could no longer keep up with it.

“You are a bunch of b*stards who bully the lesser party! Die, die!”

After another round of intense fighting, Tyrone managed to escape the encirclement again after taking down 17 players.

“Attention everyone, charge!”

Li Yi felt a shot of vigour when he noticed the direction that Tyrone had escaped to. He whipped his horse around and chased relentlessly after it.

As Tyrone’s HP dropped, this fellow was randomly picking a route to escape to. There were at least 200 escape points for it to pick, and no one could accurately predict where Tyrone would escape to.

In his past life, Li Yi had never fought in the Dark Paladin instance dungeon before. However, he had watched a walkthrough video of a team of 200 Level 80 players that had challenged the limits to clear this dungeon.

Among the 200 escape routes that Tyrone could pick, only one spot was the most important one. It was a narrow dead end, and once Tyrone ran into it, it would be impossible for it to escape when all the main tanks arranged layer after layer of blockage at the only exit there was.

The spot that Tyrone was running to at the moment was exactly where the video had trapped the Boss in.

Luck is finally on their side!

Li Yi was overjoyed. It was already strenuous enough to only use 200 people to clear a dungeon that was meant for 500 people. If Tyrone did not run to that narrow spot, even Li Yi would not be sure whether they would be able to clear the dungeon this time around.

However, it was not a problem anymore. Everything would be okay as long as it ran into the narrow dead end!

Tyrone finally ran into the narrow passage that could allow only one person to pass through at a time. Unending Unmatched activated the acceleration special skill and became the first to barge in.

“D*mn it, d*mn it!”

Tyrone bellowed and swung its sword at Unending Unmatched in an attempt to attack everything in its way and make it out of the passage.

The window that Tyrone would stop in this dead end was extremely short. Everything would be okay if the players managed to block its way out in 5 seconds. If they failed to block the way, Tyrone would never again enter this place for the rest of the battle.

Li Yi managed to make it in time. He used Violent Bear’s Protection before transforming into the Violent Bear King. Then, he stood behind Unending Unmatched to even out the repelling effect he was sustaining.

“Bang!”

Both Unending Unmatched and Li Yi took three steps back. Tyrone continued to charge forward, and the Rune Greatsword in its hand pierced forth once again.

If it managed to make another assault, it would be able to escape successfully.

At this moment, Golden Gun Cannot Fall has arrived and stood on Li Yi to stack on him. Red Boxers arrived next to stand behind Golden Gun Cannot Fall…

“Bang!”

Tyrone stabbed with its sword. Unending Unmatched’s body fell backwards, but since there were three people standing right behind him, he did not stagger backwards this time around.

“Megashield!”

Unending Unmatched shouted loudly. His body glowed golden, and he charged forward fiercely with the shield held in his two hands.

“Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud! Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud!”

Unending Unmatched’s non-stop assualt had caused Tyrone to take a few steps backward uncontrollably. Its attacks had a Repel effect while Unending Unmatched’s Megashield had a Tackle effect.

Tyrone was soon pushed back into the dead end by Unending Unmatched. At that time, all of the other main tanks have finally made it there and positioned themselves behind one another. Fire Ice was casting the Holy Light Healing in the air to quickly recover the HP of the main tanks.

“Poof!”

Li Yi took a Shrinking Scroll to shrink himself and ran out of the narrow passage. He could not maintain in his Beast Soul’s Possession state for long. He could withstand intense impact for a short while and could never managed to do it for a long time.

After he had gotten out of the passage, he went to Fire Ice so that she could get rid of the Shrunk status. Then, Li Yi summoned the Black-feathered Golden Eagle and flew up into the air, attacking Tyrone from there.

At this point, Tyrone was filled with thunderous rage and kept on using Dark Strike to try and free himself from being trapped in by layer after layer of main tanks. Unending Unmatched had used the Shield of Earth to withstand its onslaught.

They could not simply switch tanks around within this narrow passage. Thus, Unending Unmatched’s position was critical to the team, and he must not fall.

Unending Unmatched was currently at Level 92 with 60000 HP. He could take seven attacks from Tyrone. Three Healing Paladins who were Holy Light Knights were focusing entirely on keeping his HP up and making very sure that it was maintained at 80% or above at all times.

Among the three main Healer classes, a Light Priest was most suitable to heal in groups while a Holy Light Knight would perform best when healing just one person. On the other hand, a Sky Vagabond was more of an average performer that could heal both in groups and individually, but the quality of healing was slightly poorer than a Light Priest and a Holy Light Knight.

Tyrone’s HP dropped rapidly. 30%, 20%, 10%…

Most of its aggressive attacks were in vain. Repelling no longer yielded any effect. Since it could not kill Unending Unmatched, it was impossible for it to escape.

Tyrone howled continuously as its ttack become more and more frenzied.

After 5 minutes, red words flooded all areas in the game…

[Player Dark Wing led the Iron Alliance team and successfully killed Bloodseeker Tyrone, the Boss of the Dark Paladin Dungeon. System reward 20000 Gold Coins obtained! System reward 5000 points Reputation Value with major cities obtained! System reward 5000000 EXP obtained! Additional 5 Skill Points obtained.]

….

[The feat has been recorded within the Pantheon Hall of Fame!]

[The epic-level large-sized instance dungeon, Light and Darkness, was unlocked. All players could come forward to challenge the respective dungeons.]

…

They had cleared the Dark Paladin on the first try itself!

“F*ck me, is this real life?”

“This is unbelievable. Holy sh*t!”

Most of the group members were stunned speechless.

One had to remember that it had taken them more than 3 months to clear Light Conference Dungeon. This Dark Paladin Dungeon, on the other hand, was cleared right after it was unlocked…

After checking the time, the dungeon was officially cleared after 5 hours.

“This Boss was much weaker than the Four Roaches. Yeah, I feel like it was even weaker than the Gryphon Paladin Team…”

“Lunchbox!”

“Lunchbox!”

At the end of their discussion, the members have come to a conclusion—the Dark Paladin was a lunchbox dungeon that was too easy to beat.

Li Yi smiled and did not say anything. If they have not achieved Level 85, and if Tyrone had not wormed its way into that specific passage, how could this dungeon be cleared so easily?

“Guild Master, you should go and loot it this time. It doesn’t matter if you’re lucky or not this time. This experience alone was already worth it for us.”

“I have no objections for Guild Master to loot it for us.”

After the dead members were resurrected, they started to become rowdy and kept pushing for Li Yi to go and loot the corpse.

Li Yi shook his head and curled his finger at Jiaojiao.

“We’ll let the queen to take the loot!”

He was too unlucky for this. Clearing a dungeon once was a difficult feat, thus the loot should be taken by the luckiest one in the bunch. Li Yi followed through with that even though deep inside he understood clearly that this was entirely a matter of probability.

There was no objection among the team members. Jiaojiao extended her hands to loot the body.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

[21 Dark Winner’s Bracers!]

[2 Dark Noble’s Bracers!]

[1 Dark Protector’s Bracers!]

[1 Light Winner’s Helmet!]

[1 Bloodseeker’s Cyclone Cloak!]

[1 Bloodseeker’s Intelligence Cape!]

[1 Bloodseeker’s Cursed Sword!]

[1 Bloodseeker’s Strength Boots!]

[1 Tyrone’s Deathcharger Mount!]

….

“F*ck me!”

This time, the one who cursed was none other than Li Yi…

For a 500 people dungeon, looting a pile of T2 Equipment was not extraordinary. However, getting a mount as loot was quite strange indeed.

Deathcharger was much better looking than the exclusive mounts for the Dark Paladin class. It was much rarer than mounts such as Crimson Tiger King, but most importantly, this thing could be traded. Unlike T2 Equipment that could only be used by the player alone, this Deathcharger could be sold off for money!

[Tyrone’s Deathcharger (Epic-level)]

[On-ground SPD: 180%]

[Special skill: Dark Domain. Effective radius: 30 yards. All enemy targets within range will suffer a 50% drop in attributes for 1 minute. Cooldown time: 30 minutes.]

[Passive: Deathcharger will ignore any Abnormal Statuses. It will forever serve its master loyally and provide 10% Resistance for all Dark-type spells.]

T2 Equipment Sets were valuable, but it was not difficult for a player to get them if the player was repeatedly involved in multiple dungeons. However, that was not the case for the Deathcharger mount. This thing’s drop rate was very low. In his past life, many players have cleared this dungeon for 6 years without skipping any dungeon cooldowns but have never managed to loot this thing.

In this game, an item’s value was determined its scarcity. On top of that, the Deathcharger’s high practicality and cool looks would definitely make everyone go crazy over it…

Even Pretty Good Mood’s expression has changed. “Guild Master, the Deathcharger…”

Li Yi said calmly, “We’ll do what we did last time and bid it via rolling the dice…”

Using the Battle Scoreboard was useless because it would be difficult to convince the crowd since Li Yi was always ranked the first in DPS. There was no point in using DKP as well. Every member in the group was too exhausted anyways, and DKP was not a very convincing point for the crowd either.

In the end, he could only resort to the most primitive method in deciding an item’s ownership which was via rolling the dice.

“Dark Winner! Physical DPS, roll!”

65 points!

35 points!

23 points!

After Pretty Good Mood finished shouting, only three players have rolled the dice.

Li Yi looked around and immediately realized what was going on. He laughed, “Everyone, roll to your heart’s content. The Deathcharger would be seperate from these items, and everyone can roll for it!”

“Our almighty Guild Master!”

“Our wise Guild Master!”

All of the group members erupted into cheers…
