Chapter 784: Kannon’s Heart

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Kannon’s Heart Dungeon had many humanoid monsterlings, and as soon as players entered the dungeon, they would see five military bases before them. The humanoid monsterlings surged out of these bases endlessly, like a tide.

Just like the previous three Party-level Dungeons, players would not receive any EXP from the monsterlings here until they defeated the final boss.

However, Li Yi knew that their killing monsterlings here would still amount to something in the end. When they completed the dungeon, all of the EXP from the previous battles would be added to the final tally and awarded to the players accordingly.

The Kannon’s Heart Instance Dungeon’s endless stream of soldiers and EXP had always been a bug, and in the early days of the dungeon’s operation, many players used this bug to farm levels. In the end, the Pantheon developers settled the matter by having the soldiers award no EXP from then on, but they did not punish any of the players.

Of course, while the endless soldiers EXP farming was a bug, players still would not get any EXP at all unless they beat the dungeon in the end.

At the same time, the cooldown of a 50-man dungeon was a little longer; it lasted an entire month exactly.

The five peak-level main tanks — Mad Dragon, Infinite Insanity, Unending Unmatched, Brother Windcloud Nine and Sexy Red Undies — were in charge of pulling a camp’s worth of monsterlings each, whereas Li Yi and the others just had to stand back and deal as much damage as they could.

As long as the military camps stayed intact, soldiers would continue to surge out of them endlessly. Li Yi and the others had been camping here, day and night, and grinding levels for half a month now.

Even Li Yi had lost count of how much EXP they had accumulated by now. He just knew that if they competed the Kannon’s Heart Instance Dungeon now, the EXP reward was sure to blow everyone’s minds, including his own.

In the past life, the endless soldiers EXP bug had only lasted for two months. After the third cooldown, the bug had been fixed. The quick fix meant that not many players benefited from it.

On the twentieth day, Li Yi gave the order to destroy the camps and officially begin attacking the dungeon.

They already gathered enough EXP, and they still needed to use the remaining time to complete the dungeon. After all, if they could not clear the dungeon, the past twenty days they spent on grinding would all be for naught.

They had to win this battle!

While Li Yi led his party in their attempt to raid the Kannon’s Heart Dungeon, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth emerged from the Hellscream Dungeon. When he appeared in the Fluttering Snow Continent’s Celestial Capital, he immediately caused an uproar.

He had taken off his Frost Emperor’s Equipment Set and was now wearing a sparkling new golden set.

It was the King’s Blinding Light Equipment Set!

Li Yi had guessed correctly. The punk had camped himself inside the Hellscream Dungeon all so he could obtain this King’s Set.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s new set was an improvement over the Frost Emperor’s Equipment Set in every way, be it in terms of attributes or cosmetics. The King’s Series Equipment Sets had always been better than the Emperor’s Series, but no one had paid any attention to them because they were so rare.

The appearance of the King’s Equipment Set sent Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s reputation skyrocketing again…

As opposed to how low-key it had been in the previous life, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s actions this time definitely gave Li Yi a ray of hope.

On the 25th day of Li Yi’s conquest of the Kannon’s Heart Dungeon, there was shocking news from the Fluttering Snow Continent. The holiday paradise, Shangri-La was now officially open to the public.

The announcement was followed by a series of publicity stunts, and within three days, the name of Shangri-La had become known and familiar to all.

Just then, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth personally filmed an advertisement for Shangri-La, in which Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was surrounded by a host of scantily-dressed women. He sat in a golden throne, looking around his surroundings before smiling at the camera and saying, “Do you want this? Come to Shangri-La, and you’ll get it!”

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth did not reveal what he had to do with the Shangri-La project. Just like in the past life, he had chosen to hide behind the shadows this time as well, supporting the project in secret.

Everything he had done before this was all so he could have a say within the family. Now that he had achieved his motive, there was no need for him to stand in the spotlight anymore.

However, even though he did not state it explicitly, many players still speculated about it, guessing that he was directly related to the Shangri-La project.

It was no secret that the Wang family was a main investor in Shangri-La. Such a large investment was widely reported, and a simple online search revealed everything.

This business transaction was completely transparent to all.

In truth, Wang Enterprise’s projects had been making losses over the past few years because the competition was just too strong. Now, the company had poured 70% of its assets into King of Pantheon, so this was something they had no choice but to go all out with as well.

Their success or failure depended wholly on this!

The ads that circulated everywhere, coupled with Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s reputation, meant that the interest in Shangri-La shot through the roof soon after its introduction.

Everyone knew that Shangri-La was a place of pleasures, with gorgeous scenery and even more beautiful women. As long as one had money, there was nothing one could not do there.

When the Shangri-La project was launched, Li Yi was one of the first to be notified. He did not even need to investigate matters like these; all he had to put an ear to the grapevine, and he would know all there was to know.

Things had finally come to this, as they eventually would. ‘Come, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, let’s settle all of our grudges from both the past and previous lives, everything at once!’

Li Yi led the Iron Alliance elites and dedicated all his time to defeating Kannon’s Heart. Time was ticking, and he could not afford to be distracted any longer.

As for Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, he was up on cloud nine now. While Li Yi was away attempting Kannon’s Heart, he went to the Invincible Continent nearly every day to wreak havoc.

Unlike before, he did come alone this time. Instead, he came with Not Gray Wolf, Drifting Snow, Black Wing, and a ton of others. All of them had heeded his call.

On the first day, they destroyed every one of the Invincible Continent Celestial Capital’s ten teleportation doors.

On the second day, every building in Li Yi’s home base, Shattered Frost City, was demolished.

They either went big or went home. This time, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth went as big as he could go.

“Dark Wing, do you have the balls to show yourself?”

“Dark Wing, do you have the balls to answer this call?”

Every time he massacred a city, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth would issue a Challenge Scroll on the World Channel.

The wager was a billion Gold Coins. He challenged Li Yi to a duel, one on one!

His attitude was insufferable!

However, even after three consecutive days of issuing challenges, Li Yi had yet to accept even once!

On the World Channel, players from all three continents were making their options heard. Some supported Li Yi, even more dissed him, and most of them jeered and taunted him, laughing at his cowardice.

At that time, Li Yi was in the Kannon’s Heart Instance Dungeon. He could read all the character assassination on the World Channel, but he could not respond. Was he scared of Tyrant Sword King the Fifth?

Of course not, he had never been!

In the past, Li Yi might let him off easy for a show. Now that the Shangri-La project was up and running, though, he had even less to worry about.

He had to f*ck Tyrant Sword King the Fifth up!

Still, the Kannon’s Heart Instance Dungeon was going to reset in three days, but they were still stuck at the second last boss. They were pressed for time, so Li Yi simply could not afford to respond.

If they could not take down Sword of Kannon, Bahanuq within three days, everything they had done up to that point would have been for naught. Li Yi was not willing to pay such a hefty price.

No matter how Tyrant Sword King the Fifth taunted him, he had to clear Kannon’s Heart first.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s cockiness ticked Brother Windcloud Nine right off, so he hired 1000 paid ghostwriters to spam the World Channel every day, exchanging insults with Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s men.

Despite their fury, Brother Windcloud Nine and even the stubborn Unending Unmatched both chose to obey Li Yi’s orders this time. They focused completely on beating Kannon’s Heart, and put everything else aside.

The second last boss of the Kannon’s Heart Dungeon was the Shield of Kannon, Babarossa. Babarossa was the Kannon Empire’s last general, and he stood guard over the Black Forest fortress, preventing players from challenging the dungeon’s final boss, the Sword of Kannon, Bahanuq.

Inside the Kannon’s Heart Instance Dungeon, all fifty party members were wiped out once again.

Just then, the Light Priest, Nirvana Inaction resurrected on the spot and cast an AoE Resurrection Spell, resurrecting every member of the party at the same time.

Nirvana Inaction had not resurrected with a Holy Light Talisman. Instead, he had used the Light Priest’s Level 110 Holy type skill, Divine Intervention.

[Divine Intervention: After your character dies, thanks to divine protection, you can resurrect on the spot once. Skill cooldown: 2 hours.]

In Party-level Dungeons, players were only allowed to use three Holy Light Talismans, and they had long since used up this quota. If Li Yi’s party got wiped out, they either had to have a Priest resurrect them on the spot, or they would have to corpse-run back.

Nirvana Inaction was the only Priest in the party who could use Divine Intervention. No one else knew the skill. This meant that if the party was wiped out while his skill was in cooldown, they would have to spend at least two more hours making their way back.

The Kannon’s Heart Dungeon map was just too large. Even if Li Yi used God Mode and flew back, it would take him at least twenty minutes to get back to that spot for the dungeon entrance.

The Shield of Kannon, Babarossa stood before them majestically. It wore green-colored heavy armor and held a maple leaf shield in his left hand, with a long sword, forked at the tip, in his right.

The maple leaf shield that Babarossa was wielding was the Kannon Empire’s famous divine weapon, the Shield of Kannon. As for his forked sword, it was also a divine weapon known as the Sunsword.

Babarossa was not a gatekeeper boss, because the Kannon Emperor Bahanuq still waited behind it. However, the powers it demonstrated were stronger than even those of the previous few dungeons’ gatekeeper bosses.

Brother Windcloud Nine sighed. “We must be under-leveled. We really can’t get past ’em…”

Li Yi shook his head. “It has nothing to do with our level. It’s still a matter of our coordination.”

Babarossa was extremely powerful, and fighting it was definitely a pain.

Its Sunsword ignored all defensive special effects, which made it even more OP than Li Yi’s Orange Quality Bow. Even the main tanks with the highest DEF melted like butter to its blows.

Even someone as powerful as Brother Windcloud Nine could not last more than five seconds with his Holy Shield Spell.

The Sunsword ignored all DEF, and it also ignored all damage reduction effects…
