MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

Li Yi arrived just as Pale Blue Elegance was running her mouth at Alex and Amber Sword Heart.

He did not immediately reveal himself. Instead, he transformed into Lightning Leopard and moved in closer with Stealth.

Amber Sword Heart was standing next to Pretty Good Mood’s corpse while Pale Blue Elegance was whacking him with Soul Staff Technique. The only advantage of this Summoner’s weakest long-ranged skill was the minimal cost of mana.

Alex was far, standing by the corner on the other end of the passageway, contracting Scarab King. It was quite a distance from here.

Li Yi took small steady steps in advancing towards Amber Sword Heart. He was, though, far from calm.

Amber Sword Heart, the No.1 out of Pantheon’s top ten main tanks, destined to be a ruler. Neither Brother Windcloud Nine nor Unending Unmatched could compare to him.

Unending Unmatched was a growth-type character, gradually achieving his status but Amber Sword Heart was great from the start. He solo-ed on dungeons, solo-ed on wild bosses, solo-ed against hundreds. Perhaps he was undefeatable!

When Li Yi went against Unending Unmatched at his peak in the past life, he only won against him once. During that time, he played his abilities to their full extent, seizing the right chance for a beautiful combo and KO-ed him in one continuous strike. Apart from that one time, he never won any victories over Unending Unmatched…

However, Amber Sword Heart was in a whole different ballpark. A Thief’s Stealth was deemed useless against this person. Li Yi would be dead before he could lay one finger on him.

Out of twenty-seven battles with him, it was twenty-seven losses!

He has the confidence to go against Unending Unmatched but he was completely uncertain when it came to Amber Sword Heart, due to the memory from his past life.

Even though the current Amber Sword Heart was still far from his peak in the past life!

Li Yi stopped when there was still a 35-yard distance between them and transformed back to his original state with Camouflage.

A Warrior class’ Charge was effective within a 30-yard distance. This was different from an Archer’s attack range which could be increased through equipment and skill.

35 yards was enough for an Archer to bring their talent to play and avoid the other party advancing with Charge at the same time.

Tst tst tst tst…

Li Yi installed Carulla’s Arrow on the bowstring and aimed at Amber Sword Heart with Powered-up Arrow.

As he made his way over, Li Yi pried into Amber Sword Heart and Alex’s level and equipment with Divine Looking Glass.

…

Looking at Amber Sword Heart’s attribute data, Li Yi felt a migraine coming. Amber Sword Heart’s Blood Lord equipment set was infinitely superior compared to his assorted equipment, and all of it was either damage reduction, additional DEF, additional END Epic-level equipment!

This guy even has the 30% damage reduction accessory, Orlando’s Charity…

Amber Sword Heart’s collection of Epic-level equipment landed him a level evaluation of 221, considerably higher than Li Yi.

Even if his sneak attack was a success, was it possible to instantly kill this maniac?

Li Yi drew his orange bow back. After a brief hesitation, he switched his target to Alex.

Alex may be equipped in purple-colored equipment, but his HP and DEF were not high. Instant kill would be possible with Critical Hit, Guard Break, and Crippling Strike.

“I wish you insomnia when you go to bed and suffer nocturnal urinary incontinence in your sleep…” Pale Blue Elegance was not done cursing…

Li Yi breathed out and fired at Alex while he was occupied and unable to move due to Soul Contract.

Powered-up Arrow!

Carulla’s Arrow swirled as it flew. Swoosh swoosh — The air was ripped apart.

“Shield Wall!”

Wailing Grotto’s passageways were simply too narrow. Alex was standing further away and if Li Yi wanted to fire an arrow at him, it had to fly past Amber Sword Heart first.

It was then Amber Sword Heart made a move. His body was glowing as he deflected Carulla’s Arrow. His reaction was faster than a flying arrow!

F*ck!

Li Yi cursed under his breath but quickly followed up with Chain Arrow Skill. His target was still Alex!

Tst tst zch—

Amber Sword Heart was standing at the perfect position to ward off Carulla’s Arrow but as the arrow came close, a peculiar incident happened.

Carulla’s Arrow took a sudden swerve to detour past Amber Sword Heart and headed straight at Alex. The turn did not lower the speed, rather it became faster…

Alex was fully focused on Soul Contract and as luck would have it, his channeling bar has reached 55%.

“Smack!”

Carulla’s Arrow hit right at the back of Alex’s head, penetrating through his forehead and piercing seven or eight meters deep into the wall before reverting into a ray of red light and flying back…

[-9376]

Critical Hit!

Guard Break!

Crippling Strike!

Instant kill!

Alex collapsed to the ground and a shiny item fell from his body.

Li Yi barely managed to kill Alex in one shot!

“Clang clang!”

Li Yi’s Chain Arrow Skill was crippled by Amber Sword Heart, dealing only -2 and -3 damage. Shield Wall was still functioning.

Amber Sword Heart took large strides towards Li Yi but Li Yi steadily retreated while firing Repelling Arrow Skill.

Clang!

Clang!

The passageway was too narrow for Amber Sword Heart to evade any attack. He repeatedly took hits that forced him to inch backward upon impact…

[-301]

[-343]

…

Li Yi could deal high damage but the damage he could do on Amber Sword Heart were no more than 500+ even with Critical Hit.

Amber Sword Heart pressed on, blocking with his sword from time to time and using his Blood Lord equipment set’s HP recovery effect. It may seem as though Li Yi has the upper hand but in fact, Li Yi was feeling the pressure.

“God Mode!”

Li Yi turned up the heat by activating God Mode before throwing three consecutive Elimination Arrows at Amber Sword Heart.

Pft! Pft!

[-876]

[-987]

F*ck me! He must be made of steel!

Amber Sword Heart’s HP was close to 40,000 and with the HP recovery effect from Blood Lord equipment set, the damage Li Yi was dealing were peanuts. The damage he caused was no more than the HP he recovered.

“Cyclone!”

A ring of blue light emerged around Amber Sword Heart, doubling his SPD in an instant.

[Cyclone skill: Instantly doubling SPD for 30 seconds]

“Repelling Arrow! Repelling Arrow! Repelling Arrow! Re…”

Amber Sword Heart dashed like a madman while Li Yi made a determined effort to hold him off with Repelling Arrows.

Amber Sword Heart was knocked back from impact but pouncing forward at the same time…

Oh mother, things were not looking good…

Li Yi took a bottle of Advanced-level Recovery Mana Potion to boost his mana but he knew his mana was running out.

God Mode without mana was the same as having no God Mode at all…

By the time Li Yi’s mana ran out, so did Amber Sword Heart’s Cyclone effect. His HP was still at a staggering 28,765.

Li Yi has guard break equipment but Amber Sword Heart has damage reduction equipment. The two canceled out each other but the one with the higher DEF had the upper hand.

If he could not penetrate his DEF, he could not take off much of his HP!

The downside of an Archer class was completely exposed at this moment…

With Li Yi’s mana far from recovered, Amber Sword Heart already made his move…

Li Yi took one look to the back and cursed under his breath.

Dammit!

He unknowingly backed up to where Jiaojiao was stuck before…
