MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

Under Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s watchful gaze, Dolly, who was in her grasp, gradually faded out of existence.

Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut muttered to herself, “Did she vanish?”

“I dismissed her.”

Li Yi muttered quietly from a distance.

Legendary pets could only be dispelled by their owners if they were within 100 yards of them.

Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut cast a wary eye at her surroundings. However, as Li Yi had already entered Camouflage, her efforts were wasted.

“Could it be? Does this place have a minimal chance of spawning Angel Series Elves? What a waste, if only I hadn’t grabbed her, then maybe she would not have disappeared. I really cannot bear to kill that cute little rascal.”

“That woman’s pretty naïve, huh.”

Li Yi almost broke out laughing upon hearing Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s analysis of Dolly.

While Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was lamenting her choices, Li Yi silently snuck away.

Although Li Yi and Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut were from opposing factions, they did not have any animosity between them as they were simply rivals. Had it been Bai Xiaoya who was in Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s spot, however, Li Yi would definitely have attacked her. Li Yi would never have forgiven himself if he did not.

There was no need to assault Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut. After all, she had sacrificed plenty just to camp in the map for several months, and if she were to be sent back to the capital now, true animosity would be created between them.

Additionally, the Shattered Bonewood was huge. Forget two people leveling up there simultaneously, it could handle over tens of thousands of players and there would still be enough for the players to farm.

‘You farm your monsters and I’ll farm mine. See ya later~’

Seven hours later, Li Yi had successfully risen to Level 190, whereas Dolly had reached Level 180.

Dolly’s stats had skyrocketed and had long surpassed her owner’s. Should things progress in the same manner, limitless potential would await her.

Li Yi continued leveling up in the Shattered Bonewood, and it was only after he had reached Level 191 and Dolly had reached Level 188 did Li Yi finally feel satisfied. He then returned to the capital to learn the common skill, Elenor’s Oath Guard.

By paying one Gold Coin, Li Yi had obtained Elenor’s Oath Guard from one of humanity’s Three Great Heroes, Elenor.

The skill’s main usage was to nullify the Demonic Tribe’s Fatal Skills.

When players faced the Third Demon God, they would need to deal with the Third Demon God’s insane attacks that could kill the players in one hit. Furthermore, these ‘one-hit-kill’ skills did not only belong to the Third Demon God, but the demonic monsterlings around it as well. Regardless of the techniques or amount of HP a player had, as long as they did not learn Elenor’s Oath Guard, they were guaranteed to die upon the Fatal Skills’ release.

After obtaining the skill, Li Yi delved right back into Foreignland and headed towards the Teleportation Door that would bring him to the Demon God Castle.

As the Twin Demon Gods had yet to respawn, there was no shortage of players heading towards the Demon God Castle. With the increase in the number of players, there was bound to be more battles within the castle. As such, Li Yi had been ambushed several times along the way, and this chaotic journey of his had cost him quite a bit of time.

Despite that, Li Yi continued to rush towards the Demon God Castle. He had only one goal, which was to eliminate the Demon Gods.

The Third Demon God was tasked with guarding the Demon God Castle’s gates, while within the castle walls, stood the strongest demon god — the Second Demon God, and the First Demon God — the Demon Emperor.

When Li Yi reached the Demon God Castle, he spotted Reigning the World’s Night Moon leading tens of thousands of her men to challenge the Third Demon God.

The Third Demon God was extremely obese. Its body looked just like a giant meatball. It wielded a massive mace, and although it was not the strongest demon god, it was definitely the second strongest.

It was this very meatball that had broken Aragon’s legs and locked him up in Karan City, causing him to suffer unending shame and suffering.

Reigning the World was no match for the Third Demon God. The Third Demon God’s attacking style was quite unique, as whenever the mace was not in play, it would use its ball-like meaty body to launch a rolling attack at its opponents.

The meatball rolled at breakneck speed, and any player who was unlucky enough to be crushed by it would instantly be killed regardless of their class. As such, the only thing the players could do when it rolled around was to avoid it.

“Rumble…rumble…”

After rolling one huge round across the field of battle, almost half of Reigning the World had perished.

“Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!”

The Third Demon God lifted its mace and flailed it around, smashing its surroundings in no particular order, and striking down hundreds of players.

After the Third Demon God had ended its chaotic bashing, it suddenly unleashed a ray of black light from its mouth and directed it at its surroundings.

“Buzz-buzz-buzz—”

‘Demonic Deathray, a Fatal Skill!’

Every player within 300 yards of it was instantly blasted to oblivion.

That was the consequence of not learning Elenor’s Guard Oath.

The ground was littered with corpses. Those who had carried Holy Light Talismans with them had revived several times, but even so, the same fate awaited them. The Third Demon God rushed at those players and with a vicious slam of its mace. The players lay dead once more.

300 yards, that was the Third Demon God’s aggro range. Those who died within this area of his would no longer have the chance to stand back up.

Any attempts at revival would only result in death. As such, the Holy Light Talisman was totally useless.

As the players were situated in Foreignland, there were no temples to revive at. Thus, the only choice left for players who were unable to resurrect on-the-spot was to lose some levels and resurrect back in their capitals.

Reigning the World’s attempt at the Third Demon God had failed, and they were all sent back to their capital.

Shortly after Reigning the World’s departure, Assembled Gods which was led by Amber Sword Heart stepped forward to challenge the Third Demon God.

Reigning the World was not the only guild situated near Demon God Castle. Besides them, there was also Assembled Gods, Windcloud Clan, and even Li Yi’s very own Little Drunk Cat. Despite that, no battles had broken out between them, and contrary to expectations, they were patiently waiting for their turns to fight the boss.

The Third Demon God’s strength was as clear as day. Furthermore, reaching the Demon God Castle was no easy task. Should a fight break out among the guilds, the only loser would be the guilds themselves. Due to this, the players would rather wait at different sides and take turns taking a go at the boss.

Naturally, all the players present were well aware that the unanimous truce between them was only temporary. Their truce would end immediately after the Third Demon God was killed.

Any player who had yet to reach Level 190 or had yet to learn Elenor’s Oath Guard had no chance of killing the Third Demon God. Heck, even Li Yi himself, who was equipped with the Hall of Fame Equipment Set and the Wrath of the Stars, did not stand a chance without the skill.

With Li Yi’s current ATK stat, he had no problems taking out the Third Demon God’s HP in a single shot. However, the Third Demon God was different from the Twin Gods, in the sense that it had three different states. Every time it changed its state, its HP would revert to full. All Li Yi could do was to nuke down its first state, and as for the other two, Li Yi was out of options.

The only way to defeat the Third Demon God Pre-Level-190 was to have three identical Li Yis. Otherwise, it was totally impossible.

Assembled Gods was defeated as well. The ground was littered with numerous corpses, and the only choice they had was to return to their capitals.

The next guild that took the stage was Windcloud Clan. However, the one who led the party was not Brother Windcloud Nine. Instead, it was his wife, Sister Windcloud Nine.

A ray of God’s Protection was cast onto Sister Windcloud Nine. The Windcloud Clan’s secret weapon had been put into action!

“Die! Die! Die! Die!”

The Third Demon God bellowed as it morphed into its meatball form, charging into the guild.

“Bang!”

The Third Demon God crashed into Sister Windcloud Nine, but she did not budge and had remained unscathed.
