MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

Windcloud Overlord was no idiot. He had already thought about the issue Brother Windcloud Nine brought up. Initially, they had many men in their party, so overthrowing them was no issue. Who would have thought they would end up in this predicament?

“Are we just gonna give up?” Windcloud Overlord was reluctant. If he chose to give up now, all their earlier efforts were for nothing.

Did it matter that they were able to repress their opponent’s major city? They had not succeed in seizing the city as they had not take down the Castellan’s residence. They went at it at lengths and with their losses still amassing, they still reaped no gain. He was unable to reconcile with this fact.

“F*ck. F*ck that shit. We hit them with everything, hit them with everything we’ve got!” Windcloud Overlord made up his mind after considering his options.

Brother Windcloud Nine sighed and ordered Cerberus to barge at the Black Dragon sibling duo.

“Brother Nine is here! Pick up the pace, everyone!”

The Western Continent players immediately regained their spirits when they saw Brother Windcloud Nine. Brother Windcloud Nine was quite well-loved in the Western Continent.

Caught in the crossfire between the sibling duo, close combat was out of the question. They rarely landed on the ground and mostly took their battles up in the sky.

The melee class looked on with despair, as the huge monsters hovered above their heads. When a skill was unleashed by these monsters, the melee class simply fled with the crowd, serving no purpose at all.

The main tanks were useless, healers were useless too… They died after one move, who could they possibly heal? Only the ranged-class skills were of little use to wear these monsters down…

Brother Windcloud Nine’s participation in battle did not turn the tables. Death was still eminent. The only difference was the quickened speed in running their corpses.

Fast forward an hour later, Black Dragon King Ferrian’s HP was finally revealed!

With the two Black Dragons were fluttering about in the sky, attacking both of them at the same time was virtually impossible. Hence, Windcloud Overlord opted to divide and conquer. They focused on Black Dragon King Ferrian and left Black Dragon Princess Onyxia aside.

The way he saw it, Black Dragon King sounded more prestigious than Black Dragon Princess. It was a shame though, the items dropped by Black Dragon King Ferrian were inferior to that of its sister, Onyxia.

Windcloud Overlord was filled with confidence, “Brothers of the Western Continent, victory is at hand! Blast Ferrian to kingdom come!”

There were still around 100,000 Western Continent players who could battle it out but the majority of them were in a Weak status, constantly missing when trying to attack. In actual calculation, those players who could deal damage on the Black Dragon were just a little over 30,000.

However, this did not matter. They still triumphed in big numbers. With the combined attack of the thirty thousand and each of them taking 1 point away, 30,000 HP would be wiped out in a cinch. If they continued this strategy for an extended time, Black Dragon King was bound to collapse.

Black Dragon King Ferrian’s current HP, 9,535,412!

With victory at hand, those fallen players who dared not run their corpse gradually started joining in the battle.

When Black Dragon King Ferrian’s HP dropped to 5,000,000, Windcloud Overlord’s heart was pounding out loud. He was afraid, afraid Li Yi would show up at a time like this to kill steal the boss.

However, Windcloud Overlord’s worry was unnecessary. Li Yi was still nowhere to be found when Ferrian’s HP dropped to 3,000,000.

Could it be possible that he did not gather men? Still, he felt something was not quite right.

Windcloud Overlord looked around, observing the movements going on.

“Kill — Kill them all! The dignity of the Eastern Continent will not be violated!”

It was during then, thousands of figures emerged outside the city and barged into Shattered Frost City…

Here came the people of the Eastern Continent. It was not Li Yi, however but the Three Major Guild Alliances with Defiantly Tyrannical leading the pack.

Fallen Star, I Love Beast Beast, Nameless War God, Conscienceless Hegemony… All elites of the Three Major Guild Alliance were present, together with amassed troops of 600,000, to kill steal the Black Dragon King!

When Li Yi lured the Black Dragon sibling duo, Defiantly Tyrannical kept an eye of the place. They knew it was a rare opportunity so they quickly put together a party and lay in hiding. They were able to wait it out until the dragon’s HP was less than 3,000,000 before swooping in for the kill steal.

“Brother Dark Wing, are we not taking part? Black Dragon King’s almost dead.”

In the Virtual Meeting Room, Confused Fox was sweating profusely in anxiety.

Dream Guild’s elites, God Creator’s elites, Little Drunk Cat’s elites and elites of several guild alliances were assembled to a total of 1,000,000, all awaiting for Li Yi’s orders in the Virtual Meeting Room.

The Virtual Meeting Room was a great item. As long as one was within the country, they could be teleported in from anywhere. It was one of the best tools to assemble an army.

Of course, this thing has its flaws. The same person could not be constantly teleported in. They could only be teleported in once every 72 hours. They could not remain in there too long as well, not surpassing the 12 hour deadline.

The Virtual Meeting Room could not be moved. It remained where the guild map was. It did, however, welcomed the presence of non-guild members and alliance camp players.

The Virtual Meeting Room came with a Mirror so they could observe the battle scene in Shattered Frost City. They saw Defiantly Tyrannical coming in with his men when Black Dragon King Ferrian’s HP dropped to less than 3,000,000.

“Dark Wing, why aren’t we barging in now?” Flower Underpants could not sit still.

“Yeah, Black Dragon King’s HP going down quick. It’s best we kill steal while the other two parties are at it, f*ck,” It was Guild Master Electrocute You Dead from Drop Dead Youngsters. He joined Iron Alliance alongside his men after experiencing suppression from Tyrannic Dynasty.

“It’s not yet time,” Li Yi remained calm. He knew what he was doing.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you. I trust in nobody else but you,” Confused Fox was not one to argue.

“We’ll follow through then,” Flower Underpants joined the band wagon, seeing how confident Li Yi was.

…

“Take down these motherf*ckers!” Defiantly Tyrannical roared, ushering the party in the front.

After months of grinding level and going through the Great Gift Pack ordeal, Tyrannic Dynasty was developing at a pace on par with other guilds. Their domineering ways and aggressive conduct resulted in them being public enemy number one…

“Defiant, we had an earlier agreement, that you’ll be minding your own business yet now you’re going back on your word. For a Guild Master, you ought to keep to your word,” Brother Windcloud Nine angrily denounced.

Defiantly Tyrannical laughed out loud, “Don’t talk to me about breaking promises. Since the ancient times, it’s all about war strategies and tactics. What’s a verbal agreement? You and I don’t belong to the same camp. We are destined to be enemies. Don’t talk to me about promises, my promises are only for my friends. Shame though, you’re not one of them.”

Brother Windcloud Nine Charged towards Defiantly Tyrannical, swinging his sword violently.

Although he lost most of his equipments, his Dodge skill was still in active. He was still capable in handling the encirclement of several hundreds with ease.

Defiantly Tyrannical waved his arm to cast Blood Stasis, followed by Weakening, Plodding, and Paralysis. He was playing the least popular class, a Curse Priest.

Brother Windcloud Nine’s backers were fulfilling their role. The Priest dispersed the curse, the Holy Paladin buffed Resistance while the Sky Vagabond was dumping Rapid Heal, keeping his HP above the midline.

Yang Xingchen were already on it, focusing hits on his backers instead of Brother Windcloud Nine.

More than half the Western Continent players were in Weak state, preventing them from unleashing their full potential. They were quickly overcame by the Three Major Guild Alliance army.

With the healing backers out of the way, Brother Windcloud Nine smacked on Cerberus’ head, unleashing Hellfire to wipe out Defiantly Tyrannical, as well as a thousand men of the Three Major Guild Alliance, before collapsing himself…

This time, he was in luck. He did not drop any equipment upon his death. On the contrary, Defiantly Tyrannical dropped one equipment. He went ahead to loot before collapsing with a smile…

“Shit, this mad dog. F*ck, my +5 Epic-level ring!” Defiantly Tyrannical’s face stiffened.

There was a distinct dividing of tasks between the Three Major Guild Alliance. Defiantly Tyrannical and his men took their rivals head on while Yang Xingchen and his group focused on ambushing. The War God Clan were tackling the boss kill steal.

With the odds against them, the Western Continent players dropped dead to the ground. During then, Black Dragon King Ferrian’s HP dropped to 1,000,000.

“Attack! Attack attack attack attack attack attack attack…” Defiantly Tyrannical exclaimed in excitement. This guy was not only the Guild Master of Tyrannic Dynasty, he was also one of the most famous commanders in the past life.

The Western Continent players went all out in running their corpses. Unfortunately, it still went south for them. The Weak state during resurrection made them easy targets for their enemies to gain Honor Value. If they ran their corpses in unison, their enemy would unleash AoE magic to wipe them all simultaneously.

“Defiantly Tyrannical! I’ll take your surname if I don’t return the favor!” Windcloud Overlord was pissed.

“Attack attack attack attack attack attack attack! Drop drop drop drop drop…” Defiantly Tyrannical was paying no attention to Windcloud Overlord, as he was too wrapped up in excitement.

Black Dragon Ferrian’s HP dropped to zero. The Three Major Guild Alliance has yet to jump in joy when Ferrian let out a loud howl. Its wings were flapping furiously, shooting beams of black ray, showering over all the players beneath.

“What’s this?”

All the players beneath, including the corpses, has a debuff, Black Dragon King’s Curse stuck on them!

[Black Dragon King’s Curse: Disastrous skill. Black Dragon King sacrifices its life to launch a power curse. Any players hit with the curse will enter into a 10 day Weakened state (Attributes cut by half), Deranged (losing control every now and then) state. This Black Dragon curse can not be dispersed, nor could it be purified. It will not disappear even with death.]

“The Black Dragon King will not die in the hands of your inferior beings. Never!”

Ferrian shook its head in pain, struggling as he flew away…

“Brother!”

“Mortals, I will take your lives!”

Watching as Ferrian flew away in pain, Onyxia took a deep breath in…

“Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Watch the dragon head!” Defiantly Tyrannical yelled out in a panic. Although he never fought the Black Dragon Princess, but he did watch the Western Continent players going at it. He saw through the method to avoid this move.

The Three Major Guild Alliance players rushed to hide beneath the dragon’s belly. It was then, when the disastrous skill took to effect.

Everyone went into a Deranged state. They lost control of their characters and began to slaughter one another.

Onyxia took a whiff in before spurting Dragon Breath, instantly killing all the players below its dragon head. It then spewed Dragon Breath all around, engulfing the entire city in flames…

“Hahahahaha, how invigorating! Brother Dark Wing, checkmate!” Confused Fox was beaming with happiness.

“Disastrous skill… The Three Major Guild Alliance is done for this time,” Flower Underpants was visibly moved.

It was the party finals in the Arena at the end of the month. How was the Three Major Guild Alliance going to participate the competition when they were equipped with disastrous skill?

“Hahahaha…” Confused Fox was moved to tears.

“Brother Dark Wing… Huh? Where did Brother Dark Wing go?” Confused Fox circled the room but could not find Li Yi.

Even Flower Underpants was stunned, “… He was here earlier, where did he disappear to?”

…

In the sky outside of Shattered Frost City, Fire Ice and Li Yi shared the Heavenly Warhorse mount as they went after Black Dragon King Ferrian.

“Faster, Ice.”

“Okay…”
