MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

Panda Novel

The strategy to fight this boss, Ice Howl was fairly easy. As long as the party was able to dodge the tackles, it would not pose a threat.

It was a shame, though…

Players could only attempt the challenge once in Glory dungeon. The moment they suffered a TPK, the party would be forcefully teleported out of the dungeon.

Such a simple boss yet its Berserk setting could be triggered due to a single person’s mistake which easily resulted in TPK.

In a short span of ten minutes, Ice Howl has defeated six parties. Players who died at its hands have now neared 3,000.

Flower Underpants said, “This boss isn’t hard, I can tell. If we were to play this boss, we would need a few trial runs in order to pass.”

Confused Fox sighed, “The problem is that there’s no trial runs.”

It was then another party went up on stage. The leading player was a White Elf Weapon Warrior who looked like he was in his twenties. He has a handsome face and carried himself with a cool demeanor. The moment he entered the scene, girls were screaming at the top of their lungs.

Western Continent’s Legendary Tribe, Guild Master Ashy Sky.

Li Yi recognized him with one look.

Legendary Tribe was not famous at present as the Western Continent was still under the reign of Reigning the World and Windcloud Clan. However, not long into the future, Legendary Tribe shall rise and seize the throne from Reigning the World’s Night Moon as well as tear apart and usurp most of Windcloud Clan.

Ashy Sky was powerful and with his standard rentboy looks to match, he was treated like a celebrity in King of Pantheon, adored by countless fans.

“We can begin!” Ashy Sky said to Lil Moigne. This guy was not only good-looking, but his voice was also melodious. The moment he opened his mouth, girls were cooing with admiration.

“Who is he? He’s so cool…”

“So cool, so handsome. Oh sh*t! I’m totally captivated…”

Even Jiaojiao who was sitting beside Li Yi narrowed her eyes, sizing up this pretty guy, prompting Li Yi to turn green with envy. If it were not for the crowd, he would have mounted over her for a quick squeeze.

Women were known to be jealous but so were men.

Without waiting for the full minute to end, Ashy Sky requested the battle to commence. Ice Howl came pouncing in, howling.

Ashy Sky’s tactic was different from the previous parties. When Ice Howl dashed over, it was not the main tank but rather those with DPS and healers who sent themselves ahead, to their deaths…

Ice Howl’s iron claws were slashing left and right, killing everyone in its path in a blink of an eye. Legendary Tribe’s players went down one by one, drastically cutting down the party number.

“Iron Head, you’re up!”

At the sound of Ashy Sky’s command, Legendary Tribe’s main tank, a Warrior by the name of Iron Head went charging ahead and restrained Ice Howl, officially initiating the attack.

Ice Howl has killed 308 of their players and now Legendary Tribe has only 192 members left alive.

Confused Fox saw through their method, “So they’re cutting down their numbers through death to reduce the pressure from evading Ice Howl’s tackles?”

Li Yi nodded.

It was a small arena. Once Ice Howl locked on a target to ram into, 500 of them would trample each other and this was prone to causing accidents and mishaps. The earlier six TPKs were caused because of this very reason.

Flower Underpants asked Li Yi, “Little brother, do you think they’ll pass?”

Li Yi nodded.

Back in his past life, Legendary Tribe took down the first kill in Glory dungeon and rose to fame overnight. Although a lot of things has changed in this life, it did not affect nor change the ability and talent of Legendary Tribe.

Ashy Sky was a powerful character!

“Ao ao—”

Ice Howl pounded its chest and roared, blowing back all players to the corners. It was beginning its Tackle phase again.

“Ao ao—”

Ice Howl came crashing over but the Legendary Tribe split into two and readily evaded the attack.

Ice Howl soon landed into Disoriented state, giving the party a chance to counter-attack. Legendary Tribe may be down in numbers but those remaining were all Elites amongst Elites. There were 5 of them who have already reached Level 100, the Level Cap!

In preparation for the battle, Ashy Sky had already made it clear that those who were not confident in evading Tackle should sacrifice themselves at the very beginning. He would not blame them if they were to die but if anyone were to be hit, leading to TPK, then Legendary Tribe would not have a place for such a good-for-nothing.

The first Tackle was beautifully dodged. Then came the second Tackle where Legendary Tribe’s tacit cooperation yet again pulled them through successfully!

This back and forth went on and Ice Howl’s HP dropped drastically until finally, it was defeated.

Lil Moigne raised his voice, “Well done! Three cheers to our heroes who have just won!”

All dead party members of Legendary Tribe were resurrected and teleported back to the stands.

“With Ice Howl of the Northern Iceland down, let us welcome Earth-shattering Bull King from Dragonbone Waste to the stage!”

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The metal grille was opened and out walked the boss. It was a giant bull at a height of thirty meters. It looked like a small mountain.

There were only three preliminary rounds to qualify for Glory dungeon. This Earth-shattering Bull King was the final boss of the preliminaries, so defeating it was required to enter Ancient Civilization Ruins.

Earth-shattering Bull King’s HP was at 200 million and its humongous head left every player in awe at the sight.

Lil Moigne yelled, “Who is up for the challenge?”

“I am!”

A big and heavy Armored Warrior stood up. It was none other than Amber Sword Heart of Assembled Gods. The No.1 of the main tanks in Pantheon!

Assembled Gods was up!

Amber Sword Heart, Alex, and yellow-robed Priest, Dreams After Dark, were all present.

When Amber Sword Heart entered the stage, he confrontationally gave Li Yi the thumbs up but did not change it to a thumbs down. Instead, he kept it pointed up.

Boom! Boom! Boom boom boom boom boom…

Once Amber Sword Heart brought his men up, Earth-shattering Bull King took large strides bolting over. The ground trembled as though a mountain just moved across it.

Amber Sword Heart whizzed ahead with Charge, holding Earth-shattering Bull King back with his fragile body.

“Block! Shield Strike! Brutal Impact!”

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Amber Sword Heart’s three consecutive moves caused Earth-shattering Bull King to retreat back three steps!

“Meeoooo—”

Earth-shattering Bull King let out low bellow. Angered, its head jerked down while its chest lifted up, lifting Amber Sword Heart up in the air.

Ttu ttu ttu ttu ttu ttu!!!

Earth-shattering Bull King’s hooves trampled the ground as a layer of red light enveloped its body. The horn on its head was glimmering as it plunged towards Amber Sword Heart in midair as quick as lightning.

“Wham!”

It was a direct hit on Amber Sword Heart, dealing a terrifying -65,774 damage. Fortunately, it was he who took it. If it were any other main tank, they would have died on the spot.

“Grandson!”

A bull-headed Orc main tank ran over and stood behind Earth-shattering Bull King, attempting to pull aggro with Taunt.

Earth-shattering Bull King abruptly forgave Amber Sword Heart and turned over. It was then the yellow-robed Priest, Ah Ye swung his staff to heal his HP.

“Meeooo—”

Earth-shattering Bull King let out another bellow, fishing the bull-headed Orc in the sky. Ttu ttu ttu ttu ttu ttu! Its velocity hastened. With a Tackle, the bull-headed Orc main tank was penetrated by the horn with a wham, collapsing to the ground without a breath.

“Grandson!”

Another dim-witted main tank ran over and Earth-shattering Bull King launched him up to the air the same. Ttu ttu ttu, it sprinted and tackled him to death…

“Don’t use Taunt. Kite it!”

Amber Sword Heart had an idea. He returned Earth-shattering Bull King a Shield Strike before turning around to flee.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Earth-shattering Bull King was furious as it lumbered towards him in pursuit…
