MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

Panda Novel

“Trash that can only kill newbies!”

“F*cking dog!”

“F*ck…”

The four cloth-wearing players lying on the ground were spewing curses. They had just reached Level 10 and exited the Newbie Village but now that Fengxi had killed them, they were forced to return.

Fengxi’s stood there wearing a mask of indifference, without a single movement. It was only when the four cloth-wearing players had released their souls and their corpses had disappeared did he activate ‘Stealth Mode’ and vanish.

At that moment, two female players teleported out from the Newbie Village. With two ‘shanks’ and two strokes of a blade, the two female newbies lay flat on the ground.

“Fengxi’s my name. If you want revenge, you can look for me anytime you want!”

Fengxi’s low voice resonated through the air.

Li Yi had seen the events unfold. Using the Divine Looking Glass, Li Yi looked up Fengxi’s levels and equipment, but what he saw left him in shock.

[Fengxi (Male)]

[Camp: Invincible Continent]

[Guild: Huashan Guild]

[Level: 99]

[Class: Cyclone Thief]

[HP: 9678]

[STR: 513]

[WIL: 123]

[AGI: 3275]

…

[Current location: Invincible Continent, Eastern Mountain Range, Newbie Village’s entrance. Coordinates: 1521155: 15431111]

…

The b*stard’s level was not low by any means, so, why on earth is he hunting newbies? Also, judging by the tone of the few cloth-wearing newbies just now, it seemed like he had killed them several times already.

Within the game, high-level players killing newbies was extremely disgraceful. The reason for this was simple, the newbies had just joined the game without anything to their name and had yet to understand how the game works. Getting constantly murdered would cause them to lose interest, and worse still, they might abandon the game forever.

Li Yi told Onyxia to head into the jungle to hide and summoned Lightning Leopard. He then shook his body to turn into Lightning Leopard, and together, they advanced towards Fengxi while in ‘Stealth Mode’.

Though Fengxi was also in Stealth Mode, Divine Looking Glass clearly displayed his current coordinates.

Just as Li Yi was closing in on Fengxi, another four cloth-wearing players walked out of the Newbie Village and were instantly taken down by Fengxi.

The names of the four players were extremely rude, they were named, ‘Fengxi’s Father’, ‘Fengxi’s Mother’, ‘Fengxi’s My Son’, and ‘Screw Fengxi’s Wife’ respectively.

Li Yi theorized that these four had been killed too many times, causing them to delete their original accounts to create new ones with these names…

Shank! Shank! Shank! Shank!

Fengxi showed no mercy. With his usual swift movements, the four ‘rudely-named’ newbies were lying dead on the ground once more.

“Fengxi, I’ll f*ck your wife!’

“Fengxi, I’m your wife!”

“Fengxi, I’ll f*ck my wife!”

The four ‘rudely-named’ newbies were frantically spouting insults.

The four of them were extremely frustrated. Reaching Level 10 was tough enough, but every time they left the village, they were immediately sent back by Fengxi. Dying once or twice was no big deal, but who on earth could stand constantly being murdered?

“You might be weaklings now, but who knows? You might become super pros in the future, which is why you lose nothing from dying by my hands.”

“Pui! Go f*ck yourself! Once I level up, I’ll definitely hunt you down until you reach Level 0. Alternatively, I’ll take up your surname!” One of the cloth-wearing players shouted.

“It’s just a game, why are you guys cursing? What are you all? Dumb*sses? Retards? Personally, I think that you’re both.”

At that moment, another five cloth-wearing newbies appeared. However, Fengxi did not attack them. Instead, he just gave them a glance and let them off scot-free.

Fengxi was indeed hunting newbies, but he was not killing every newbie he saw. Instead, he was selective about his prey.

“Crackle… Crackle… Crackle…”

Lightning Leopard leapt into action, and Li Yi dispelled his transformation. Li Yi waved his hands and instantly shot three arrows at Fengxi.

Killing newbies was a despicable act, and as an official of the continent, Li Yi was obligated to clean up the trash.

Li Yi acted quickly and unexpectedly. His first arrow had found its target, but just as the second arrow was about to land, Fengxi rolled aside, evading the other two arrows, and disappeared by using ‘Stealth Mode’.

“Hahaha! Retard! It’s your turn to be hunted.”

“Hah! Serves you right! I’m so satisfied.”

“Son, you’re about to get wrecked.”

The newbies lying on the ground were celebrating.

Shank—

The flash of a blade could be seen, and Li Yi’s Lightning Leopard spurted a fountain of blood from its neck. A damage counter of [−31642] drifted out from its head, and Lightning Leopard was instantly nuked down.

‘How on earth is this b*stards’ ATK stat so high? It’s way above his attributes. Could it be a special skill?’

Divine Looking Glass could only view a player’s level and equipment values, but it could not determine whether the equipment carried any ‘special skills’. This was one of the flaws of Divine Looking Glass.

Li Yi hesitated for a moment before using ‘Shoot at Random’,

Hundreds of arrows shot out towards the surroundings, and even after Li Yi had exhausted his mana supply, no trace of Fengxi could be detected.

System Notification: [You have successfully left the battle.]

‘He left the battle?’

Li Yi used ‘Divine Looking Glass’ to look him up, and it displayed, [Player is not logged in.]

‘He went offline?’

Li Yi was dumbfounded.

In all his years playing King of Pantheon, this was the first time he met someone who was able to log out during combat.

Li Yi walked into the jungle and waited for a while. Once he confirmed that Fengxi had not come back online, he rode Onyxia and left.

To him, killing Fengxi was not mandatory. It was only something that he would do if he saw him. He would not intentionally hunt him down.

However, what he experienced in that battle had left Li Yi very curious.

From his experience, the Huashan Sect was a group of retards. From top to bottom, nearly all of them were idiots. However, Fengxi’s performance just now had shown that he was quite skilled.

After 5 minutes or so, Li Yi had learned from the Divine Looking Glass that Fengxi had logged back in. However, Li Yi had no interest in killing him currently.

Onyxia carried on flying until they reached the Wild Beast Plains. It was then, that Li Yi ordered her to slow down.

Ever since players had learned that the boss of Wild Beast Plains, Crimson Tiger King could drop a mount, that place had not known peace. From morning until night, there were parties camping there daily. They would go back and forth, constantly sweeping it clean.

Down below, Crimson Tiger King had respawned. Like locusts, thousands of players rushed at the boss, and the mighty Crimson Tiger King was powerless against the horde of frenzied players. It lasted a mere ten seconds before it was brutally murdered.

When looting world bosses, the presence of players aside from the original party would extend the period before being able to loot the body by 1 minute. If the player that killed the boss was murdered, the time period was extended further by 1 minute…

The forces below were not a unified front, instead, they were a chaotic nest of snakes, with at least 30 different groups scrambling within it.

Killing the boss was an unruly affair, and madness ensued when it came to looting the corpse.

AOE skills were fired into the crowd, and the players had either formed ‘Guilds’ or ‘Parties’, all just to get their hands on Crimson Tiger King. The people below were just plain crazy.

“ROAR—”

Onyxia had also been spurred into a frenzy by the insanity below. Without getting Li Yi’s approval, she raised her head.

Onyxia drew in a deep breath…

“Halt!” Li Yi shouted loudly.

It was too late!

Vicious flames that engulfed the sky rained down on the crowd below, instantly wiping them out…

High-level players rarely formed parties to hunt down Crimson Tiger King. First of all, it was too time-consuming, and second, even if they managed to loot it, the abysmal drop rate of the mount left many speechless.

As such, most of the players that fought Crimson Tiger King were around Level 40-50.

Since Onyxia was a Level 100 Ancient Epic-level Boss and now that her Weakness Status was practically negligible, she could essentially exhibit the full strength of her Raging Breath attack.

After Onyxia’s Raging Breath attack, the scene below was littered with corpses. Only a small minority of players had activated ‘Invincibility’ type skills and managed to survive.

Onyxia drew in another deep breath…

She was not done yet. Onyxia’s emotions had been completely riled up, and even her owner, Li Yi, had no way to stop her.

Another Raging Breath was unleashed downwards, and after the flames subsided, there was no one left alive. They had all been burnt to a crisp.

Onyxia roared delightedly. After circling a few rounds in the sky, she swooped down, picked up Crimson Tiger King’s corpse with her mouth, and flew away without even looking back.

Li Yi was a little frustrated, but he was also very worried. “I told you to halt just now. Why didn’t you listen?”

“Roar—”

Onyxia tossed Crimson Tiger King’s corpse downwards as if angered by Li Yi’s scolding.

‘This punk’s pretty hard to control.’

Soul’s Oath Scroll’s effects would deteriorate as Onyxia’s Affinity increased. By the time Onyxia reached ‘Worship’ status, Soul’s Oath Scroll’s effect would permanently disappear.

The black dragons had always been a symbol of evil and having Onyxia act as obedient as Mermaid Princess was nearly impossible.

Li Yi gave an order to Onyxia. “Head down!”

“ROAR—”

Hsst…Hsst…

Onyxia began to disobey his command, but once the black band of light started to wrap around her head, she reluctantly descended towards the ground.

Onyxia had grabbed Crimson Tiger King’s corpse, and though it was not Li Yi’s original intention, what’s done was done. It would be a waste if he did not loot its corpse.

Onyxia had reverted to human form, and again, it was without Li Yi’s permission.

Li Yi found Crimson Tiger King. He waited until he was allowed to loot the corpse before he reached out to loot it.

Tiger bones, tiger whip, tiger skin…

It was all miscellaneous items, no mount had dropped.

Onyxia walked over. “Mortal, it’s obvious that you wanted these items. So, why did you stop me?”

Li Yi was infuriated by Onyxia.

“Kneel!”

Crash!

Onyxia was kneeling, and her Affinity towards Li Yi had dropped by 100 points.

“You’re my mount, and yet, you acted by yourself without my permission. Do you really think that I have no way to punish you?”

“Mortal, take note of your position!” Onyxia’s eyes flashed with hostility as she stubbornly raised her head.

Soul’s Oath Scroll’s effects were beginning to fade. This was definitely not a good sign.

Seeing Onyxia’s current state made Li Yi even more worried.

Li Yi pinched Onyxia’s lower jaw. “My name isn’t mortal. From this day forth, you will call me master!”

Onyxia did not reply. Ever since she had been tamed by Li Yi, she rarely called him master. Most of the time, she referred to him as mortal instead.

From the way she greeted him, it was obvious that deep down, Onyxia had never thought of Li Yi as her master.

When he thought of the blood and sweat that he sacrificed to tame her, Li Yi’s blood boiled. A while later, he had made a decision.

“Crawl in a circle around me!” Li Yi gave another order.

He was going to discipline Onyxia and make her submit totally!
