MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

Unless Mimisme was Disoriented, players could not deal any damage to it. All they could do was move quickly and use the obstacles around them to avoid its attacks.

Li Yi went left while The Cat that Sings went right, dodging and running without stopping. Mimisme chased them for a long while without catching up to them, and soon it lost its patience. That was when it went up to the boulder and lifted it high above its head, chasing Li Yi once more.

Its aggro would randomly lock on to one of the party members.

Li Yi released his Territory and used Teleport to dodge, while at the same time he did whatever he could to lead Mimisme toward the obstacles.

“Ba-thunk!”

Mimisme tripped and fell, the boulder flying from its hands into the sky before it finally crashed down on its head.

Mimisme was now Disoriented and it could not block. Its Evil Energy temporarily vanished too.

“Attack!”

Li Yi gave the order and launched an attack with The Cat that Sings, blasting Mimisme with everything they had.

Mimisme had a whole 1.2 billion HP, and two blows from Li Yi’s Meteor Arrow only shaved off 300 million HP. The Cat that Sings used her Cyclone Formation and could only deal slightly over 90 million, a far cry from Li Yi’s damage output.

Not long later, Mimisme pushed aside the boulder and got up, rubbing its head. Its Evil Energy returned as well, and attacks were now useless against it again.

Li Yi and The Cat that Sings continued to run, and Mimisme continued to give chase with the piece of meat still in its mouth.

There were too many obstacles around them and Mimisme was too big, so under these circumstances, there was no way it could catch up to an even decently agile player.

The first boss of the Strength and Glory Dungeon, Mimisme, was also known as Brainlessme. The nickname itself aptly showed how it fought.

Brainlessly and stupidly.

Mimisme gave chase again but could not catch up to anyone at all. It then repeated its old tricks and picked up the boulder once more, only turning to chase The Cat that Sings instead of Li Yi this time.

“You wanna f*ck me up? In your f*cking dreams!”

The Cat that Sings activated Cyclone Step while swearing her head off, and she ran just as quickly as Li Yi had teleported.

Not long after that, Mimisme tripped and fell again, the boulder falling on its head and disorienting it.

“Wanna f*ck me? Go get a longer d*ck!”

The Cat that Sings pointed with both of her swords, and the Cyclone Formation fell over Mimisme…

Defeating Mimisme did not require any difficult techniques. The players just had to avoid its attacks and wait for it to knock itself out before they launched their attacks. While it did have a lot of HP, once players got a hang of how to fight it, beating it was simply a matter of time.

As Li Yi and The Cat that Sings coordinated perfectly, Mimisme was taken down without even hitting them, still holding the meat in its mouth.

“No one can steal… my… meat…”

The first boss was down…

“Does this dungeon only reward EXP after we pass the whole thing too?”

“Yeap.”

“F*ck, what a c*ckblock.”

After beating the first boss, The Cat that Sings was a little worn out, yawning as she walked. Li Yi was fine with fighting continuous battles, but it was beyond her capabilities. She was only forcing herself to follow because Li Yi had not said that they were stopping.

Sister Cat’s life motto was that she never went back on her word if she could help it.

Li Yi could clearly tell that The Cat that Sings was getting sleepy, but he just found it funny. He held his tongue precisely because he wanted to see how long she could last.

The two of them had not gotten far before they encountered three unarmed giant monsterlings.

“Go, let’s f*ck them…” The Cat that Sings gestured wearily.

Before Li Yi even said anything, The Cat that Sings rushed at them, yawning, and activated Cyclone Formation.

The three giant monsterlings turned red and roared as they stomped The Cat that Sings to death. They then dashed up to Li Yi in an instant and raised their huge hands, swatting at him as they would a fly.

“What’s happening? Why are they already berserk?”

“Of course they would go berserk, look at how you just sauntered up to them. Alright, don’t need to corpse-run anymore, just log off. We’ll continue tomorrow…”

“It’s alright, I can still continue…”

Li Yi shook his head and ignored them, logging right off.

Even he did not feel very comfortable lying in the Nourishment Chamber like that.

Li Yi had a good night’s sleep, and he even went for a jog the next morning, exercising a little before he put on the headset and entered the game.

When he logged on, he was still a soul.

Running cheerfully back to Strength and Glory, Li Yi resurrected at the dungeon entrance.

When a player died in a dungeon, it did not matter exactly where they had died. They would always resurrect at the entrance.

“F*ck, where the heck did you go? What took you so f*cking long?”

As soon as Li Yi resurrected, swears filled his ears.

A glance at the members’ list had him stunned for a good five seconds.

There were two members on the list, Li Yi and The Cat that Sings.

“Sister Cat, you’re here?”

“Of course I am, I corpse-ran back ages ago, and I even gave it a few tries. So where the heck did you go?”

Li Yi took a shortcut and found The Cat that Sings in no time at all. Sister Cat was sitting on the ground, staring straight at the three unarmed giant monsterlings.

This was exactly where they had been wiped out yesterday.

“Don’t tell me you stayed online all night…”

The Cat that Sings paused for a moment and then she cried out, jabbing a finger at Li Yi, “F*ck yo daddy, you logged off?”

Li Yi was even more confused now. “You stayed here all night?”

The Cat that Sings tore the mask off her face, revealing a pretty but worn face.

Her brows were thin and arched, her large almond-shaped eyes bright under her long lashes, and she even had a tear-shaped mole under her left eyelid. Paired with her naturally fair and smooth skin, even the mole looked vaguely sexy…

Further down, her thin, delicate and adorable lips were slightly ajar, her small white teeth tightly clenched. She was clearly very angry right now.

Li Yi was stunned…

The foul-mouthed Singing Cat really was a rare beauty.

However, that face was looking quite pale right now. Could it be because… she had not slept all night?

“I waited an entire f*cking night for you, f*cker!” The Cat that Sings flipped Li Yi off.

Li Yi was flabbergasted.

“I told you that I was logging off last night, so why did you…?”

“I didn’t hear you! F*ck, it was all a blur, so how could I hear you clearly?”

Li Yi was exasperated. “Just log off and rest for now, I can do this myself.”

The Cat that Sings yawned and waved him off. “Forget it, I switched to a Nourishment Chamber. Now I can sleep in the game itself.”

“Playing Pantheon in the Nourishment Chamber feels just like transmigration!” That was one of the King of Pantheon’s slogans.

The Cat that Sings pointed at the three unarmed giant monsterlings ahead of them and said, “If I fight them myself, they won’t go berserk, but I can’t tank them.”

“Now do you know why I didn’t call anyone else? This is exactly why.”

Li Yi explained it to The Cat that Sings.

After the first boss, the monsterlings standing in the players’ would undergo some changes. If two or more players entered a battle at once, the giant monsterlings would immediately become berserk. The only way was to have a main tank fight the monsterlings while the other players retreated. It was only when the main tank destroyed the giant monsterlings’ Berserker Aura that the other players could rush in and work with the main tank to kill the monsterlings.

Li Yi alone could defeat the Strength and Glory Dungeon, so he did not need to form a party. He had only asked The Cat that Sings for help so he could clarify some things.

“If you can do it yourself, you go ahead for now. I’ll lie on the floor and sleep for a bit, I’m just too f*cking boned.”

The Cat that Sings did not even put on her mask, falling right to the floor and making to sleep right there.

“But I’m warning you, don’t go getting any funny ideas. If you dare to f*ck me while I’m down, I’ll cut off your d*ck and feed it to the dogs!”

The Cat that Sings viciously gestured castrating with her dagger before she finally flopped onto the floor and started snoring…

She really was exhausted, and she fell asleep almost as soon as she hit the ground.

Li Yi shook his head and summoned Alleria, approaching the three unarmed giant monsterlings from the opposite direction. He just wanted to prevent getting Sister Cat pulled into the battle.

Alleria held her large shield, pulling the three giant monsterlings’ aggro steadily. Li Yi then unleashed his Meteor Arrow, clearing away the monsterlings with maximum firepower.

The three giant monsterlings were soon taken down, but Li Yi did not stop. Instead, he had Alleria scout ahead while he continued to advance.

As soon as Li Yi left, the snoring Sister Cat opened her eyes and looked in the direction Li Yi had vanished in. She then turned back, closed her eyes, and continued to sleep.

Li Yi soloed the giant monsterlings at a considerable pace. Two hours passed in no time, and he had cleared about a dozen groups of giant monsterlings.

If he proceeded any further, he would have to fight the dungeon’s second boss, Mimisme’s man, the Great Giant Knight, Mimiron.

Li Yi sat on the floor and rested for a while, waiting for Alleria’s skills to cool down before he advanced once more.

After easily finishing off another wave of giant monsterlings, Li Yi saw the Great Giant Knight, Mimiron.

The Great Knight Mimiron was riding on a blue Kodo, and it was armed with an enormous spear, an ox-horn battle helm on its head. In fact, its whole body was covered in thick armor, and it stood on a tall platform majestically, overseeing everything.

Mimiron was much stronger than its woman, and it had more health than almost any giant too. Other than the gatekeeper boss, the One-eyed Giant Gaea, it had the most HP in the Strength and Glory Dungeon.

It had a whopping 2 billion HP!

In other words, it was an HP tank through and through.

Before the battle, Li Yi ran back and forth, busying himself around the platform. While fighting Mimiron did not require any techniques in particular, that did not mean he could just charge in blindly. At the very least, he had to arrange the obstacles around the platform so that he had somewhere to hide when Mimiron lost it and began to charge around.

Li Yi destroyed the weapons racks, stone pillars, and stacks of hay, scattering everything to the floor.

With this, he could slow Mimiron down.

When all his preparations were complete, he gave Alleria the order, “Go, Babe!”

“Please call my name, Alleria!”

Alleria pushed forth, armed with her shield, and she used Taunt on Mimiron.

“For the glory of the giants, I shall tear you apart, intruders!”

Mimiron roared and raised its giant spear above its head, spurring the blue Kodo into charging at Alleria.
