MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

As one slammed into the other when Starfall was cast, both players would be frozen for a short period of time. Since there were 8 men sticking around a woman being frozen, the entire scenario could be easily mistaken for something lewd.

Snap! Snap!

It was another chain of camera shutter firing off.

“A bunch of perverts!” The female healer could only voice out in anger since she was immobile.

The party returned to normal as Starfall ended. All of their HP shown on their head was down by more than half and the two healers started healing everyone again.

“Hey beautiful, heal me.”

“Hey beautiful, heal me.”

“Go seek for Inaction for that!” Despite the female healer claiming so, the staff in her hand did not stop as she healed them.

Monica entered the Invincibility Mode as a huge and chaotic AoE ice spell was cast. In order to get through this stage, the healers were required to heal while the others ran around to evade the incoming attacks.

Monica’s HP was reducing slowly. As the Ice Crystal Crown’s limiter was taken away, it had affected her. The official’s explanation was that she was not able to withstand the overwhelming power of the Ice Crystal Crown since she was just a mere mortal.

The blizzard became denser as time went by and evading it became much harder. Six-party members were down by the time Monica’s HP was down to 1000 HP, leaving Li Yi and two other main tanks in the fight.

The healers were long down and the reason was rather simple. The chill released by the Ice Crystal Crown did not only reduce the players’ HP, but it also took away their MP as well. Since healers did not have high HP and their MP had diminished, they would not be able to last long even if they were not hit by the blizzard.

Confused Fox and the rest originally planned to use the Stamina Scroll to increase their max HP so that they would not die. However, Li Yi had mentioned beforehand that the boss could be cleared without using the Stamina Scroll and they should save as much as possible. It was fine for them to die as well as they would be revived after clearing the boss.

Li Yi consumed an Advanced-Level HP Potion while the two main tanks consumed an Intermediate-Level HP Potion as they pressed on.

As long as one of the party members still stood as Monica’s HP depleted, it would be considered a victory.

The two main tanks could no longer hold on as Monica’s HP was down to around 500. The thing with Potions was that it had a 2-minute long cooldown. It could only be used occasionally to save the players but it could not be a healer’s replacement.

With 100HP taken away for every second that had passed, Li Yi’s HP was down to around 500 as well. However, as his HP was reduced to around 100, his body started glowing gold and his HP was drastically increased.

“Violent Bear’s Protection!”

By adding Li Yi’s 2600HP with the Violent Bear’s HP of 5900, he had 8500 HP in total. The main point, however, was that his HP would be completely restored when the Violent Bear’s Protection was used.

He would not die from Monica’s blizzard if he were to take it head-on with 8500HP and DEF combined together.

As Monica’s HP was down to 1, the Ice Crystal Crown on her head gave off a shattering noise as a crack appeared on it before dropping onto the ground.

The ice on Monica’s body vanished as the face of a beautiful woman appeared. However, good things never last as Monica’s body disintegrated into ice and disappeared.

Monica did not utter a single word from the beginning to the very end.

A teleportation door appeared as Arklass’ teacher walked out from it. He proceeded to resurrect and warn everyone sternly that the Ice Crystal Crown on the ground must not be touched before exiting the scene through the teleportation door.

Two treasure boxes appeared on the ground. They were Monica’s and Icy Giant Worm’s rewards.

Confused Fox smiled. “I’ve promised you earlier on Brother Dark Wing. No matter what item comes out from those boxes, they shall be yours.”

Li Yi revealed an awkward expression as he replied. “Brother I think you should do it instead. You seem to be a very lucky person.”

“Hahaha.”

Confused Fox laughed as he walked forward. He had already heard that Dark Wing was a very unlucky person.

3 gold equipment was obtained through the Icy Giant Worm’s treasure box and one of them was an Archer’s equipment which was suitable for Li Yi. The remaining two items, on the other hand, were only suitable for Summoners.

Although it was not better than the Punishment Battle Axe, these three equipment’s stats were still considered good. After equipping the equipment, Li Yi’s GS had increased to 1389.

The remaining two Summoner’s equipment could be distributed to Fatty and Mood without being bias to either side.

Li Yi started feeling anxious as Confused Fox opened Monica’s treasure chest.

Ding!

A clear noise sounded and a virtual list appeared in front of them. The list not only included two gold equipment, but there was also one purple grade orb.

“It’s the Space Pearl!” Confused Fox shouted in shock.

Li Yi then casually placed the Space Pearl and 2 gold equipment to himself…

“You promised beforehand Guild Master Fox.” Li Yi laughed.

“Uhh, uhh, yes. I promised earlier.” Confused Fox felt extreme remorse as he stared at the Space Pearl in Li Yi’s hand.

“You have a good hand. You’re even able to obtain this. Color me impressed.”

Confused Fox’s expression was filled with remorse.

As a Guild Master of a large guild, he would often visit the forum to read on the latest news. Although he did not know the grade of every equipment that would drop from every Instance Dungeon, he knew every single item that would drop from every Instance Dungeon inside out.

The greatest reward from the Ice Crystal Crown Instance Dungeon was none other than the unique item Space Pearl.

Space Pearl did not possess any ATK stats nor it was required to be equipped. Similar to the EXP Pearl, it would come in effect the moment it was placed in the Inventory.

[Space Pearl (Locked when picked up): Increases Inventory space by 200 slots. If the item is placed in the Frozen Pearl Slot, the item shall never be dropped. (Note: This spatial item is created by Arklass’ teacher, Leo, and dozen other Great Wizards.)]

The Space Pearl could not be dropped even if the player died. If the items were placed inside the Frozen Pearl Slot, they would not drop as well when the player died. This item would be a legendary item if used properly as it provided 200 undroppable item slots.

Li Yi’s inventory contained EXP Pearl and other support items. If he were to unfortunately be killed by someone, then there would be a chance that his EXP Pearl would drop. However, he did not have to worry about this since he had the Space Pearl. The EXP Pearl would never drop if it were placed in the Space Pearl slots.

The official had never announced the drop rate of the Space Pearl but one thing was for sure was that players who possessed this pearl did not exceed 5 people in the past life where the game had been in service for 8 years.

“Guild Master Fox, you can have this two equipment.”

Li Yi passed the two gold equipment that was obtained from Monica’s treasure box to Confused Fox. They were both the best Warrior class equipment available in the game.

“Are you sure about this…” Although Confused Fox questioned his decision, he reached out his hand and accepted the two gold equipment.

“Hahaha. You can have them. It’s about time we leave the Instance Dungeon as well.”

Li Yi was ecstatic.

The journey was worth it. Not only had he obtained a sufficient amount of Frost Fragment, but he had also obtained an incredibly overpowered level 45 bow, a rare skill and Space Pearl.

It was indeed not within his expectation to obtain these three items.

Confused Fox was still feeling rather bad. That was the Space Pearl, a divine weapon level item. He had to give it away to others even though he had looted it with his very hand. Only he himself knew the amount of regret he felt in that situation.

As they left the Instance Dungeon, they found out that people were still killing the monsters outside. Ice Elf could not be spotted in the entire Blade Frost Canyon and that was a giveaway of how strong these people were.

“Are we heading back?” Confused Fox seemed down.

Li Yi shook his head. “We’re not in a hurry. Since there’re so many people here, it would be a waste to return now. Let’s put our names in the Hall of Fame records.”

“How do we do that?” Confused Fox’s eye shone brightly.

Li Yi smiled gently and created an open party invitation where the eastern continent players who were currently in the Blade Frost Canyon could freely join the party.

What was originally a small 10-men party had immediately turned into a super party consisting of at least ten thousand people.

“Everyone, listen to me, move southeast!”

Once the players were in the party, they had to obey the party leader’s command. This was a rule that every guild members would follow or they were free to leave the party.

“Since Dark Wing is the one commanding this party, there must be something good going on. Let’s go, everyone.”

The eastern continent players cheered as they left the Blade Frost Canyon and moved southeast.

Confused Fox thought that Li YI would bring the party to raid the city but that was not the case. As the party entered the Spring of the Elf, a group of 3000 level 40 NPC rushed towards them and tried to prevent them from going through.

“Kill kill kill kill kill! Kill every single one of them. Everything will go to waste if we don’t.” Li Yi pointed as some ten thousand people moved forward to kill the NPC legion.

System Notification : [Your party has successfully cleared the western continent’s condemned army and is recorded in the Hall of Fame records as “Not a Single Survivor”. This Hall of Fame record cannot be obtained again.]

“Jump into the water!”

Li Yi was the first one to jump into the Spring of the Elf and a system notification immediately appeared. [You’ve received the baptism from the Spring of the Elf. STR has increased by 1 point and this is recorded in the Hall of Fames record as “People who know the Water”.]

As they had accomplished two Hall of Fame records at one go, this made the eastern continent players extremely happy.

“Is… is it that simple to achieve two Hall of Fame records?” Confused Fox was about to pinch himself as he did not know if this was a dream or reality.

One had to know that the Hall of Fame records were the hardest to achieve in the game. Many players had cracked their head hard and were still unable to achieve it. To be able to achieve two Hall of Fame records in such a short amount of time was totally unbelievable for everyone.

“The websites never mentioned this. How do you know?”

Li Yi hopelessly patted Confused Fox on his shoulder and inched closer to his ears. “When you return, work hard in raising your Reputation Value to Worship. The good-hearted NPC in the city will tell you this stuff.”

“That simple?” Confused Fox looked at Li Yi in shock.

“It’s that simple!”

“F*ck!”

“Fox, what did he tell you just now?” Nirvana Inaction came closer out of curiosity.

Confused Fox sneered. “He told me that he dreamed of it.”

“F*ck off!” Nirvana Inaction scolded out loud as he walked towards a rather good looking female player to hit on her.

“Hey beautiful, your teeth are very white. What kind of toothpaste do you use?’

The lady turned her head around and smiled at Nirvana Inaction. “Get lost!”
