MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

The slaughter continued. This time, they no longer cared about what expletives the Huashan Sect threw at them.

“Kill! Kill! Kill…”

“What a c*nt your previous boss was. To think that she reserved a spot for herself even though she isn’t playing. F*cking hell, what a bunch of retards!”

“Huashan’s leader’s a retard and so are the rest of you!”

“A huge idiot’s leading a bunch of smaller idiots!”

Scumbag Wang and his crew were agitated once more. Alas, the gap between them and their enemies was too huge. Their enemies were tucked in a corner far away, and it only took a single AOE skill to lock them in place.

Had it been regular players, they would have long returned to the capital when they realized they were powerless against their enemies’ slaughter. This, however, did not apply to the Huashan Sect. Being slain by their enemies was no big deal. They persevered and their eight hundred-strong force hardly diminished. Their numbers were still the same as whatever number they started with, and even Defiant Zephyr who was tucked all the at way back could not help but acknowledge the bunch of retards’ resilience.

What Defiant Zephyr did not know, however, was that Huashan’s inner circle was hatching a grand ploy…

[Proposer: Lonely Perfume]

[Accepted by: Wang’er]

[Final results: Accepted with full votes]

Ever since Lonely Perfume had placed himself under Fengxi’s tutelage, his IQ had drastically grown, and by the time he returned to Scumbag Wang’s side, he had turned into a somewhat intelligent character with the smarts of a ‘Military Advisor’.

Lonely Perfume’s proposal was simple. Since the difference in the strength of both sides was too large, facing them head-on was detrimental. They died the moment they resurrected, which was considered a major failure. Rather than that, he proposed that they resurrected in turns. The moment one of their comrades fell, another would rise, and following that, they would check the clock, in order to determine who lasted the longest. Naturally, it would be even better if they could last alone against a thousand men.

“Whoever manages triumph against a thousand of them will be rewarded with 500 Gold Coins!” Scumbag Wang yelled sharply.

The eight hundred or so men hastily signed themselves up and were issued their number in the sequence. Following that, they resurrected one after another, and though they erred from time to time, in which there were two to a few dozen players who resurrected at the same time, overall, Lonely Perfume’s plan was considered quite successful…

It was now Scumbag Wang’s turn. The moment he resurrected, he immediately charged into a tree…

“I went in a wrong direction…” Scumbag Wang was embarrassed.

“Leader Scum’s a beast! He managed to last for 3 seconds!”

“Leader Scum, you’re truly amazing!”

Praises erupted around him. It appeared that deep within Scumbag Wang’s followers’ hearts, he was a god-like entity.

The Huashan Sect continued resurrecting one after another, and the more they killed, the less excited the Tyrannic Dynasty became. The skill difference between both sides was too large, and it had long surpassed the realm of competitive PK. In essence, their battle was basically a massacre.

This was not a big issue initially, but as time went on, it started to become dull.

The Huashan Sect was still brimming with energy, and they were still carrying on with their rotations… On the other hand, those from the Tyrannic Dynasty had logged off gradually. It was not that they could not hold out, instead, killing the Huashan Sect was starting to feel dull, and they had had their fill of it.

In the end, Defiant Zephyr gave the order for his troops to retreat.

Some raised their Return City Stone, while others summoned their mounts to leave the area.

Once everyone from the Tyrannic Dynasty had left, Scumbag Wang and his men finally stood up.

Lonely Perfume solemnly suggested. “Leader Scum, I have an idea.”

“Speak!”

“They think that they have triumphed over us. They must think that we’re afraid of them and have currently lowered their guard. So, what I’m proposing now is that — we, launch, a, sneak attack!”

“Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!”

Scumbag Wang was the first to applaud. He praised, “Good idea. Looks like you’ve spent your time with Third Brother well. That IQ of yours has drastically improved. Thank god you returned early, otherwise; I fear that lil ol’ Leader Scum’s brains would no longer be a match for you.”

“Brothers! Let’s follow his idea and carry out a sneak attack on the Tyrannic Dynasty’s capital!”

The gold dagger in Scumbag Wang’s hand flashed. He summoned his black donkey mount and raced ahead of his crew.

The eight-hundred-strong Huashan Sect were in high spirits. Those with mounts rode atop them, and those without, relied on their two legs to follow behind Scumbag Wang, all the while screaming and shouting about murder…

Little Pinewood was finally vacated, and it was at that point that Li Yi descended from the skies and entered the cave.

Li Yi had actually intended to intervene in the battle just now, but before he could make that decision, the tide of battle had turned, and he changed his mind.

The cave within Little Pinewood was a brigand’s nest, and the insides of the cave were not particularly large. Furthermore, the route was not complicated. There was only a single passage, and as long as Li Yi followed it, he could reach the cave depths.

Li Yi entered the cave depths. The moment he arrived, he noticed that there was a nail-sized bright spot that flickered on and off.

Li Yi whipped out a treasure-digging shovel from his inventory and bent down to start digging. A moment later, a ‘ding’ could be heard. The treasure had appeared!

{You have dug out a dilapidated Rare Book…}

[Ice Queen]

“…”

The first thing that crossed Li Yi’s mind when he found the rare book was, ‘Fatty Chen Yang’s going to become a beast…’

The Ice Queen was one of the strongest summoned beasts for Natural Summoners. Calling her rare was an understatement, as the skill for summoning her was rated on the same tier as Overlord Arrow. It was one of those skills that once possessed, would exponentially increase one’s abilities to heaven-defying levels.

“Is this what they call beginner’s luck? Onyxia’s Secrets Skill is pretty darn broken, I’d say.”

The Ice Queen, Shiva was a highly valuable summon beast. Not only did she have multiple AOE attacks, but the attacks were also infused with ‘Freeze’ and ‘Decelerate’ abnormal statuses. As a result, she was extremely powerful, whether when fighting monsters or in PK scenarios.

Li Yi immediately contacted Fatty and told him to return to the Guild.

It was there that Li Yi handed over Ice Queen’s Summoning Tome to Chen Yang.

“Th-Th-This…. Th-This… is…” Chen Yang was dumbstruck.

He was now extremely familiar with playing as a Natural Summoner. Which skill was powerful? Which skill was rare? No one else was fit to answer these questions. As for Ice Queen’s Summoning Tome, its rarity went without saying but its practicality…

Chen Yang spoke shakily, “Brother Yi, this Summoning Tome is worth at least a million Gold Coins, maybe even more…”

“You’re not lacking money, right?” Li Yi inquired. Chen Yang was a top-level official in Little Drunk Cat, and he had his own salary every month. Simply put, he was currently earning more than those working white-collar jobs.

Chen Yang shook his head energetically. “No, I’m not…”

He truly no longer lacked money. Ever since Little Drunk Cat had made a name for itself, except for his previous argument with Pretty Good Mood, he had not needed money.

Li Yi grinned, “Learn the skill then! Summon her out for me to see.”

“Alright!” Chen Yang nodded his head, clapped his hands, and learned ‘Ice Queen’.

“Ancient Ice Elf, heed my summons. Descend upon us, the Ice Queen — Shiva!”

While Chen Yang chanted, frost shards began to converge around the area. The Ice Queen, Shiva, descended from the heavens and landed in front of him.

The Ice Queen, Shiva’s external appearance was similar to a human’s, but since she was an elf, she had long pointed ears and a gorgeous face. What made players nosebleed, was that there was not a single piece of cloth on her. For as far as the eye could see, there was nothing covering her.

Back in the past life, the Ice Queen, Shiva was given the nickname, ‘R-rated Queen’ by the players.

“Wow… Gorgeous Ice Woman, c-c-can I touch this part?”

Chen Yang attempted to grab Shiva’s breasts…

“Boom!”

A frigid gust smashed into him, and Chen Yang was instantly frozen solid.

The Ice Queen glared coldly. “Puny human who summoned me, you dare to assault a divine elf?”

Li Yi drew back his bow to fire an ‘Evil Piercing Arrow’, dispelling the Freeze status on Chen Yang.

Chen Yang leapt up. “F*ck me, this thing has brains?”

His words had infuriated the Ice Queen, Shiva, once more. She thrust out her hand, materialized an ice spear, and stabbed it forward, impaling Chen Yang on the spot, and lifting him high above the ground.

Since Chen Yang was playing as a dwarf, he already had quite a short stature. However, when Ice Queen Shiva lifted him up with her ice spear, he looked like a ball that was flung into the air, and the scene was highly comical.

Li Yi rubbed his temples. He was worrying in Chen Yang’s stead. “The Ice Queen is a Legendary-level Summon Beast, and you dare to imply that she has no brains?”

“Hahahaha, I love it! Brother Yi, I like this summon beast very much, muahahaha…”

Chen Yang was hooting like an owl in mid-air. His laughter was nothing special, but it had stunned the Ice Queen, Shiva.

Shiva indeed possessed intellect, but in her current state, she was no different from Mermaid Princess. She was as pure as a sheet of paper, and she did not really understand much…

When Chen Yang’s HP had reached around 100 or so, Ice Queen Shiva finally let him down. Since Chen Yang was her master, even if she wanted to kill him, the power that came from the ‘Soul Contract’ prevented her from doing so.

Chen Yang fixed his gaze on the Ice Queen. He loved what he saw on the left, and the same held true for the right. In the end, he thought of something and shouted, “Ice Queen, show me your ultimate.”

The Ice Queen, Shiva stood there, emotionless and did not react at all.

“Brother Yi, how can I improve my relations with her?” Chen Yang was depressed.

“I’ll let you research this yourself, haha…”

Li Yi waved his hand, and ‘Teleported’ away from the Guild.

Chen Yang narrowed his eyes, glared at Shiva, and finally, swallowed his saliva as he lunged forward with a devious expression.

“Boom!”

Chen Yang had been frozen once again. Furthermore, since he had only 100 HP left, he was instantly frozen to death…

Her master was dead, and yet, the Ice Queen, Shiva did not immediately disappear. Instead, she gazed confusedly at her surroundings, and gradually disappeared after her limit of 5 minutes had gone by.

At that point, Li Yi had already reached the Eastern Ocean.

‘Onyxia’s Secrets skill was truly amazing, so what about Mermaid Princess, who was at the same level as her? How well would her ‘Treasure Hunt’ special skill work?’

Li Yi suddenly realized that he had not used Mermaid Princess’ Treasure Hunt skill much. It was truly a waste.

Li Yi stood at the edge of the Eastern Ocean, and released Mermaid Princess into the sea, commanding her to use the special skill, Treasure Hunt.

Mermaid Princess gave Li Yi a pained look, before diving deep into the ocean…

After 5 minutes or so, Mermaid Princess came swimming back. She spat out a glistening white pearl and dropped it in Li Yi’s palm.

It was a ‘Luminous Night Pearl’. It was not classified as a piece of equipment, but when placed at home, it would produce many mysterious effects, such as dramatically increasing the odds of upgrading lifestyle skills.

“One more round.”

Li Yi issued another order to Mermaid Princess, and once again, she dived deep into the ocean’s depths…

Mermaid Princess had drunk from the Spring of Life and her level had increased. As such, the special skill, Treasure Hunt, which originally could only be used once a day, could be used thrice a day now.

Mermaid Princess returned even quicker this time. Not even a minute had passed, and she was already swimming back panickily. The moment she saw Li Yi, she jumped up from the waters and dove right into Li Yi’s embrace.

A massive shark monster was charging over. Instead of locating any treasure, Mermaid Princess had lured over a monster this time…
