Chapter 305: Super Trampoline 250

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Back in his past life, there were at least a hundred players who received the Wrath of the Stars. However, the orange-bow Archer God, Shoot Until Daybreak was the only person to activate the second seal and there were plenty more who could not even activate the first seal. Thus, this long term problem had caused many to permanently lose their orange bow.

Shoot Until Daybreak had never mentioned to anyone on how he managed to break the second seal and the official forum had not provided any guides either. Thus, players were left to their own devices to break the seal.

This time, Li Yi’s guess had turned out to be correct!

To increase the durability of the orange bow and to break the second seal, Li Yi had tried all the methods that he could think of. However, it had all ended up fruitless and he was forced to look at the durability slowly decrease as there was nothing he could do.

Thankfully, he had encountered Arthur and was fortunate enough to have Arthur’s Twelve Knights of the Round Table damage the orange bow!

As Li Yi entered the cave while holding the orange bow, the Hunter Goddess’ Divine Soul approached him.

“I’ve sensed the power of the Wrath of the Stars. Young man, you do not disappoint, to think that you’ve actually found it.”

Li Yi raised the bow in his hands. “But this Divine Bow is broken.”

The Hunter Goddess gave a faint smile as she shook her head. “The Wrath of the Stars is made out of hundreds of millions of stars and my divine body. It’s so tough that even the combined strength of tens of thousands of gods could not destroy it. What could the slashes of a few Round Table Knights hope to achieve?”

“How did you know that the scratches were caused by the slashes from the Round Table Knights?” asked Li Yi curiously.

“The blade marks on the Wrath of the Stars told me what I needed to know.” The Hunter Goddess sighed softly.

“There are too many seals on the Wrath of the Stars, hindering the bow from showing its true strength. The method to fix those scratches is pretty simple, just use the bow to kill a god.”

“Ding!”

Without even an option to accept, a new quest had appeared in Li Yi’s Quest Pane.

[Quest Title: Kill a god]

[Quest Requirement: Kill a god using the Wrath of the Stars.]

[Quest Difficulty: Rank C, Rank B, Rank A, Rank S]

[Quest Reward: ???]

‘Is this some kind of joke? Kill a god? Is this even something that could be done before Level 100?’

Li Yi was stunned like a deer in the headlights.

“I will be returning to my slumber once more. Young man, approach me again after you’ve killed a god.”

Hunter Goddess waved her hand, and the surface of the orange bow was enveloped with colorful lights. The lost durability had instantly been restored, becoming 500/500 once more.”

Hunter Goddess’ Divine Soul vanished. As for completing the quest, not a single hint had been provided…

“Oh great goddess, is there anything similar to a weakening potion?”

Determined, Li Yi had asked another question. However, the answer that came disheartened him. With a weak voice, the Hunter Goddess replied, “Hmm…no.”

‘This is going to be tough…’

Usually, when NPCs issued a high-difficulty quest, they would provide some supportive items, like weakening potions or weakening rays. Once used on the target, it would immediately reduce its strength. Even a super boss would become a small monster once affected.

“Quest Difficulty: Rank C, Rank B, Rank A, Rank S…”

Li Yi carefully checked the quest description and had understood what this part meant. He theorized that the greater the strength of the god slain, the greater the quest rewards.

“Rank S, the highest difficulty. Are they telling me to kill the Ruler of God that is residing on Mount Pantheon? Damn… Mount Pantheon hasn’t even opened, this is ridiculous. Even then, once it opens, would I even stand a chance at the Ruler of God?”

Although the quest reward was shown as only three question marks, Li Yi had already predicted that the quest reward was undoubtedly the release of the second seal.

‘No wonder there were so many people who could not break the second seal in the previous life. The bow needed to be damaged past a certain threshold in order for the Hunter Goddess to appear. Aside from the legendary special skills, what else could inflict so much damage on the orange bow? This is just stupid…’

Li Yi did not look for any gods, despite a deep desire to do so. In his heart, he understood that with his current abilities, it would be impossible to kill a half-god, much less an actual god.

The gap was too big.

Li Yi returned to Pinnacle of the Fire and after talking to the Dwarf Town Mayor, he reentered Super Trampoline 250.

Fire Ice was still jumping around on the trampolines, her technique had improved and she was now able to freely control the direction of her jumps.

The two practiced together once more, and once they felt that they were ready, they bounced onto the real trampolines, officially beginning the quest.

“Boing! Boing!”

They had just jumped onto the first trampoline and had immediately lost their balance. The reason was simple. Since they had both jumped onto the trampoline simultaneously with different jumping strengths, a tragedy was bound to ensue.

“Boing! Boing!”

Li Yi had fallen down. Fortunately, he managed to land at the starting point. After scrambling for a while, Fire Ice had finally regained her balance.

“Ice, you’ll go first. I’ll follow behind you, we’ll do it separately.”

“Alright!”

The new plan had Fire Ice taking the lead and Li Yi following behind.

“Boing! Boing!”

With one person at the front and one behind, they bounced forward carefully. Before long, they had already left the starting point.

Fire Ice was getting nervous and so was Li Yi. If they fell now, they would definitely land onto the spikes and would die instantly. Dying here would be the same as dying in a normal Instance Dungeon, they would lose experience points.

There were numerous treasure chests floating in the air, players with good kinesthetic skills would jump and pick up the chests as they proceeded. The more treasure chests they picked up, the better the rewards for clearing the instance dungeon.

Since it was Li Yi and Fire Ice’s first time battling the dungeon and they had just learned how to jump, they decided that their strategy would only be to advance forward, and not take any unnecessary risks in getting the chests. As long as they could pass the dungeon, their final score would be inconsequential.

“Boing! Boing!”

After jumping for about 50 meters, two trampolines appeared before them, and beside were two walls with switches on them. In order to proceed, they would have to activate them at the same time.

“Ice, you go left, and I’ll go right.”

“Okay.”

“Boing! Boing!”

The two of them carefully controlled their direction and moved separately.

“Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing!”

One jumped followed by the other, the two of them were jumping one after another. It had taken forever and they had still not synchronized their rhythm. Unable to press the switch at the same time, the road ahead remained closed.

“Slow down…”

“You hurry up, dammit…”

A few mistakes were made during their first attempt. Li Yi increased his speed and lost his balance, plunging directly onto the spikes. Fire Ice had met a similar misfortune, she accidentally tilted the trampoline when she was landing and had plummeted as well.

Total annihilation…

“You jumped too slowly just now…”

“You looked like you jumped too fast. If you had slowed down, our rhythm would synchronize.”

Both of their souls had returned to the starting point and they were having a heated discussion.

‘Attempting a new dungeon would always result in a few deaths, otherwise, how could we grow? Experts were forged by deaths anyways…’

After a long discussion, they jumped once more.

This time, Li Yi was at the front and Fire Ice was behind.

The both of them had become adept with their experience, with only two minutes, they had already jumped to the place they left off.

“3, 2, 1!”

Li Yi shouted the signal and their rhythm had quickly synchronized. As the button was pressed, a loud hissing sound was emitted, opening the path forward.

Going forward, the trampolines changed into mobile platforms. Should they jump without calculating, tragedy would surely unfold.

“Boing! Boing!”

Fire Ice and Li Yi locked eyes for a moment and continued their advance.

Li Yi was still at the forefront, although it was his first time playing this Instance Dungeon, he had already watched various videos of experts clearing it in his previous life. Thus, he was much more familiar than Fire Ice regarding the dungeon route.

The path ahead was no longer a single lane, the trampolines have scattered and formed five different lanes. As to which path was correct, it was undoubtedly a test.

The two of them had turned a blind eye to the bounty of treasure chests above them.

In reality, they were tempted but their lack of abilities forbade them from acting on it. As this was their first time raiding the Instance Dungeon, they had only prayed for survival, and merely being able to clear it was already pretty good…

Before them was two switches again, and this time the challenge was even tougher. The trampolines were constantly moving, so they had to find a suitable tempo while taking note of the time and space of their jumps.

“3, 2, 1!”

“Boing! Boing!”

Half of it was due to luck and the other half was due to skill, as Li Yi and Fire Ice had managed to step on the moving switch on the same time, successfully unlocking the path ahead.

“We did it!”

“Not yet, there are even crazier ones up ahead.”

It was really tougher, the two had not even jumped a few steps and a trampoline that moved horizontally appeared before them. A switch lay on both sides of the wall, but the hard part was that it required them to jump and press the switch at the same time.

“I—I’m so nervous…” Fire Ice was panting from all the jumping and did not dare to move forward.

“It’ll be fine, we’ll just need to use a little less strength when we jump onto the trampoline.”

“Boing! Boing!”

Li Yi went ahead, and after gaining his balance, he told Fire Ice to get on.

“Boing!”

Fire Ice got on and Li Yi immediately jumped up. Using his cape’s ‘Flying’ ability in mid-air, he controlled his speed of descent.

With the two of them sharing the same trampoline, their biggest challenge would be synchronizing their tempo. If one of them had jumped when the other had landed, the both of them would destabilize one another, causing both of them to lose their balance.

Although Super Trampoline 250 was a five-man Instance Dungeon, no one had ever passed with all five members intact since its discovery.

The reason for this was simple, as it would become harder to synchronize the further they went on. Especially so for the final stage, as they could no longer proceed one by one, Instead, they had to advance together. Unless all five of them were robots with one mind, a single blunder would result in the others’ demise.

Li Yi and Fire Ice rose and dropped together, their rhythm had vastly improved. Once the trampoline had moved to the middle,

Li Yi shouted the signal, and off they jumped towards the switches.

“TchTch—”

“Hisssssssss…”

The path ahead had opened completely, and about 100 meters ahead on a patch of factory ground, stood a Dwarf who was operating a ten-meter tall giant robot which was heading their way.

He was the dungeon’s final boss, the Dwarven High Tinker Torqa!

“WARNING! WARNING! INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT!”

The giant robot beside High Tinker Torqa had sounded an alarm, startling Torqa.

“Black Steel, activate defensive protocols, annihilate the intruders.”

“Command received… Defensive protocols…Activated.” The giant robot uttered each phrase in a metallic voice, and a loud crash sounded from behind Li Yi and Fire Ice.

They turned their heads, only to see the trampolines crumbing behind them…
