MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks
Chapter 631. Mermaid Sea
Legendary creatures in King of Pantheon had a high IQ and the Mermaid Princess, Freya was no exception. The fact that she replaced the Black Dragon Princess back in Soul Gate was proof she ranked higher than the Black Dragon Princess.
Fernando the Siren would distribute random quests daily and out of them all, the letter-sending quest provided the biggest reward. This was because the sole recipient of the letter entrusted to the players was his fiancée, the Mermaid Princess.
If Li Yi did not have the Mermaid Princess as his mount, he would have to find her somewhere in the vast water territory upon receipt of this quest.
The Mermaid Princess traveled at the speed of light and had guts the size of a pea. This beautiful seductive creature would not allow anyone close to her and would disappear out of sight after a brief glance.
The reward for the letter-sending quest may be bountiful but only a handful of players managed to complete this quest. Additionally, the quest rewarded only EXP. players would rather farm in a map filled with monsters for a few hours than seek the Mermaid Princess in uncharted waters.
“My heart belongs only to my master.”
Not bothering to even take a look at the white shell, the Mermaid Princess flung it to the ground and clasped her hands to her chest, confessing her feelings to Li Yi.
Ever since Worship was attained, the mermaid had been under Li Yi’s thumb and with the relationship growing stronger, no matter what Li Yi did to her, her Affinity would still steadily increase.
Li Yi picked up the shell and stuffed it in the Mermaid Princess’ hand, “You still need to reply.”
Without the Mermaid Princess’ reply, Fernando the Siren would not award him any EXP.
The Mermaid Princess spoke to the white shell, “I’m not your fiancée, I only belong to my master.”
With the Mermaid Princess’ words contained in the shell, Li Yi could return to hand in the quest to Fernando.
Putting the quest on hold, Li Yi rode on the Mermaid Princess and ordered her to swim to the depths.
Currently, there were 587 quest items in Li Yi’s backpack, all of which were useless space-occupying items, like the white shell, for quests on the verge of completion.
If these quest items were turned in, the EXP obtained would be great yet to Li Yi, it was not enough.
The EXP from quests was insufficient, far from being enough. He still needed to continue on…
The quests around the Sea God’s Palace were mostly completed and now he was left to explore the deep waters known by players as the Dead Sea.
The Mermaid Princess’ home was in the Dead Sea.
There was a reason why the deep sea was known as the Dead Sea and it was due to the ridiculously high-level monsters in the area. With the lowest starting from Level 200 to the highest at Level 300, the monsters in this map far exceeded the levels of other monsters in King of Pantheon.
Apart from level, these monsters were vicious. There was no such thing as a White Name monster here. With the lowest being a Blue Name, these mad elite monsters gathered in groups as they loitered around. If it were not for the Mermaid Princess, the super-fast underwater mount, who would dare show their face in such a place?
Ding! Ding!
While on the way, Li Yi received a mail from Jiaojiao. In it, a video of the competition was attached.
“Unmatched lost, so did Fengxi.”
Li Yi paused before replying, “Got it…”
“It’s been a while since I returned here, kaisabulu axiubili…”
The Mermaid Princess swan ahead, mumbling a few words in Mertalk here and there. Li Yi was proficient in Nagaese but Mertalk was a completely closed book to him. However, from the look of joy on the Mermaid Princess’ face, he could guess that the little mermaid was having a whale of a time.
As the Mermaid Princess dived further in, the negative effects of the deep-sea region grew stronger.
Although Li Yi had consumed an Underwater Breathing Potion, a Water Pressure debuff hung above his head, lowering all attributes including SPD and ATK SPD by half…
Fortunately, the Mermaid Princess was unaffected by Water Pressure as she glided with haste, skillfully evading the elite monsters’ advances.
Elite monsters with large builds such as the enormous whale were a common sight and the deeper they went, the higher the sighting frequency. It was a bunch of Blue Name elites in the beginning but after progressing for half an hour, blue elites were nowhere to be found and were replaced by golden elites.
Gold Name elites were merely underlings in this place. If it were any other places, the presence of a Gold Name elite was a person’s chance at fortune.
Li Yi conscientiously avoided provoking a Gold Name elite. Presently at Level 100 and without breaking through Territory, for Li Yi to kill a Level 300 Gold Name elite was fool’s talk.
The Mermaid Princess made a sudden stop, “Master, up ahead is the Golden Arrowfish King’s territory. Please hold on tight to me, I will accelerate there.”
Li Yi clasped his arms around the Mermaid Princess, sticking his entire body on her back.
The Mermaid Princess rapidly slipped through the water. If Li Yi had not stuck himself on her, he would have easily encountered flow resistance and fall off her back.
The Mermaid Princess paddled over a hundred meters in a flash. Falling off her would put him in a risky situation.
Tst tst tst —
With Mermaid Princess’ beautiful tail trailing bubbles behind her, she made haste to plunge ahead.
Sighting Mermaid Princess, a school of Golden Arrowfish fired towards them like an arrow.
“Szh szh szh…”
Thousands of Golden Arrowfish opened fire towards them, prompting the Mermaid Princess to dodge left and right, and charging ahead with full force…
Golden Arrowfish was a gregarious Level 300 Gold Name monster with extreme SPD and proficient in puncturing attacks. Once encircled by them, even a Purple Name monster with HP as high as 90 million would find itself instantly killed.
Ten minutes later, the Mermaid Princess slowed down and a System Notification appeared.
[You’ve left the battle.]
The Mermaid Princess gasped for air, “Master, we are safe for now…”
Li Yi stroked her head, “Great job, keep it up.”
Ding!
[The Mermaid Princess has received your praise. The Affinity between you and the Mermaid Princess has increased by 10000 points!]
Li Yi was at a loss.
Raising the Mermaid Princess’ Affinity was incredibly hard before but now, a casual remark could raise Affinity by 10 thousand points…
If he were to attempt moves that aroused disgust, how much Affinity value would drop?
Thinking aloud, Li Yi began to stroke the Mermaid Princess’ head.
“Ding!”
[The Mermaid Princess has received your tender affection. The Affinity between you and the Mermaid Princess has increased by 2000 points!]
Li Yi, “…”
With the experiment’s result out, there was no cause for concern. Unless Li Yi personally let the Mermaid Princess go, even if he were to kill her, the Mermaid Princess’ Affinity would only rise rather than dropping.
The Mermaid Princess pointed ahead with glee, “Master, the Spirit Fish’s territory is up ahead. My home can be seen after that.”
The waters were clear ahead. Taking a broad view, there was no monster in sight, but Li Yi knew well that the most dangerous spot in the deep sea was here.
Monsters were not visible here because they were all in an Invisibility state. Once their prey drew close, these invisible monsters would spring in from all directions to encircle the prey.
Spirit Fish’s SPD may be lower than Golden Arrowfish, but undetectable monsters were more feared by players as one would be unaware that they were walking into a trap and by the time they came to, there was no way of escaping.
Rising to the surface, the Mermaid Princess paddled slowly, slower than Li Yi’s other underwater mount, Deep-red Seahorse.
“Lalalalala…”
The Mermaid Princess’ sorrowful tranquil melody filled the air, spreading out like ripples of waves.
“Tst tst tst…”
One after another transparent Spirit Fish manifested, with a Sleep icon on their head. They were all hit with a negative status.
“Master, I’m going to accelerate!”
Whipping her tail, the Mermaid Princess shot ahead like a spear.
Soul Song was the Mermaid Princess’ latest skill courtesy of the Soul Gate. Once it was triggered, enemies overhearing her voice would fall into a Sleep state. Of course, this skill would still be affected by the target’s Abnormality Resistance, so the success rate was not guaranteed. Moreover, there was a pitfall to constant use. After the first time, the target would be immune to the skill for a period of time.
Spirit Fish was capable of Invisibility and had high ATK, but their weakness was their low Abnormality Resistance so the chance of them being affected by this status was 100%.
Of course, while it was highly effective, this was only limited to the first use. These monsters were still immune to repeated usage.
The Mermaid Princess swiftly swam forward, cautiously avoiding the Spirit Fish. Familiar with the route, the Mermaid Princess quickly made it to the Dead Sea.
After the Spirit Fish’s territory was the legendary Mermaid Sea, home of the Mermaid Princess, Freya.
Legend has it that the entrance to the Water World of the Seven Secret Places, lay hidden somewhere in the Mermaid Sea. However, this was only an unproven theory.
“Pft!”
Dispersing Mermaid Princess, Li Yi summoned his Deep-red Seahorse.
The Mermaid Princess was different from the Violent Bear King. Advancing with the Violent Bear King to the Tuhr Clan, Li Yi’s Reputation Value rose to Worship but if he were to bring the Mermaid Princess to the Mermaid Sea, he would probably be the target of hostility by all mermaids.
To avoid inviting unnecessary trouble, it was best he went slow and keep the Mermaid Princess out of sight.
“Human, halt! You’re unwelcome here!”
Li Yi had just mounted his Deep-red Seahorse when a person in a black robe appeared before him on a crab, blocking his path.
The identity of the person in a black robe was revealed above its head, the Mermaid Guardian!
