MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

The battle was long and hard, Li Yi could only take some breathers during the poison cycles as Queen Medusa used her huge AOE skills. During the little snake cycle, Li Yi had dodged all their attacks. However, during the poison cycle, Li Yi’s movement had been severely restricted and when she launched her barrage of Magic Burst Spells, he was unable to evade it anymore. He was forced to withstand 7-8 blows of the spell, and if were not for Holy Light Illumination’s special effect, he would’ve perished long ago.

The dream of attaining the ultimate achievement, My Date with the Queen by clearing the stage without receiving any damage was looking farther and farther by the moment…

‘Since I already got hit, I’ll forget about the ultimate achievement for now. I probably shouldn’t bother dodging the attacks if possible, since I won’t die from the attacks anyway. After all, the more hits I get in, the faster we can kill the queen.’

After half an hour, Li Yi activated God Mode again. Queen Medusa wailed as she fell on the ground.

However, before he landed the final blow onto Queen Medusa, Wang Wang Dumplings and Autumn Love had died.

Jiaojiao’s body sparkled rapidly, and her level rapidly increased and soared to Level 40!

Fire Ice gave a relaxed laugh and hid her sigh of relief as she began to revive the others.

“My god, this was a difficult battle. Anyways, I’ll be the one who’ll loot the corpse…”

Autumn Love jumped up and immediately ran towards Queen Medusa’s corpse.

Tch—

A green gas rose from her feet and before she got the chance to complain, she died once more…

This time, she died more gloriously. The equipment she wore was flung out from her and all of them were top-tier gold equipment.

Although Queen Medusa had died, the maze of poison that surrounded her did not. It was only natural for someone who was hasty like Autumn Love to die.

Fire Ice revived her once again, but during the hurried recovery of her equipment, Autumn Love accidentally touched the poison and tragedy ensued once again…

Although revival via Resurrection Spell did not cost experience points, the durability of the equipment would be reduced by a huge chunk and the repair fees were very costly.

Autumn Love stood up again. As she picked up her equipment, she complained, “This is bad, very bad, I’ll need at least ten Gold Coins to repair these. This is so not worth it.”

“Missy Autumn, remember that I want a piece of equipment.” Li Yi did not forget to remind her.

“Missy Autumn, we’ve cleared the dungeon. Now, our debts have been paid, see you!” Big Boy and Lil Girl did not even bother to loot the corpse and exited the dungeon immediately.

God-Killing Gale gave a cold snort, undoubtedly pursuing after them.

“Brother Dark Wing, if there’s only one purple equipment, would you take it too?”

“Of course, we’ve already discussed this before. No take-backs.”

Li Yi was currently the leader, and only he had the item assignment rights.

After recovering her equipment, Autumn Love resolved herself before walking to Queen Medusa to loot her corpse.

Ding!

The Virtual Inventory Pane appeared, along with a long list of item drops.

The drops included Medusa’s eyes, Medusa’s snake tail, Medusa’s teeth, Medusa’s blood, Medusa’s snake hair, Medusa’s scales…

There were eleven item drops in total, and on the bottom of the pane, hid a piece of purple equipment.

[Medusa’s Blood Jade Ring (purple-colored epic-level)]

[Equipment Level: Level 0, equipable once END stats have reached 300]

[STR +120]

[AGI +120]

[END +120]

[Special effect: Skill Points +2]

[Special effect: Jumping strength +20]

[Special effect: Max HP limit increased by 10%]

[Note: Quality assured for anything produced by Queen Medusa]

The ring was like a poor man’s legendary drop for physical-based classes.

“Brother Dark Wing…” Autumn Love was close to crying.

Out of the eleven-item drops, the only equipment was the ring. According to the agreement, the ring was now Li Yi’s.

Li Yi assigned the purple ring to himself without a shred of shame. After that, he gave up his assignment rights to allow Autumn Love to pick up the remaining drops.

“Brother Dark Wing, you shouldn’t be so mean. You shouldn’t let the person who invited you over to return empty-handed, you know?”

“You’re a spellcaster, what do you even need a physical-based ring for?” Li Yi asked rhetorically.

“I—I want to give it to my husband.” Autumn Love blushed as lied.

“Your husband?”

“Yes, my husband could use it.” Autumn Love nodded her head energetically.

Li Yi generously offered, “500,000 Gold Coins, and it’s yours.”

“Hmm…”

Autumn Love fluttered her eyelids, and gave a charming smile, saying, “Can I trade anything with it? I—I don’t have any money.”

‘You don’t have money? What kind of joke is this…’

“Well, there’s nothing I can do then.” Li Yi shrugged his shoulders.

“Trade, we’ll settle this by trade.” Autumn Love was straightforward as she took out a bunch of Demoness’ Snake Hair and handed it to Li Yi, totaling at 1,000 strands of hair.

“I’ll trade all these for it. Since you’ve already taken it, you can’t go back on your promise.”

‘What kind of brute-force sale is this…’

“Add in another 400,000 Gold Coins, I don’t want a penny less.” Li Yi was not going to fall for her trap.

“Sheesh, you…” Autumn Love was desperate. After pondering for a moment, she finally had an idea. “How about this, I’ll aid you in clearing a dungeon next time.”

“Little Drunk Cat Guild has 20,000 or so members, what good would your help do me?”

“Hmm…You think of something then!” Autumn Love was so frustrated that her cheeks were now red.

“Sigh, Missy Autumn, there’s a simple way to obtain it if you really want it.” Jiaojiao walked over and suggested to Autumn Love, “If you let him molest you, I guarantee that he’ll hand the ring over to you.”

“Whaaatt… Really?”

“Scram!”

Li Yi gave Jiaojiao a violent kick in the b*tt.

“Really!” Jiaojiao made a mischievous face and laughed as she ran away.

“Forget about it then, though the ring is good, I shouldn’t do something so unscrupulous.” Autumn Love shook her head, giving up on the ring.

Instead, she took out the small peeling knife, and by looking at her body language, it appeared that she was not going to let go of Queen Medusa’s corpse.

Li Yi led Jiaojiao and Fire Ice out of the dungeon. Although he was curious whether Queen Medusa’s corpse could be carved, he did not want to see the gory image of the half-beauty being desecrated.

“Alright, let’s get out of the dungeon.”

Li Yi and the rest had already left, and only Autumn Love remained within the dungeon carving Queen Medusa’s remains…

“Skin, where’s the skin? How come it isn’t dropping? Weird, is my carving level too low? D*mmit, I’ve suffered a major loss this time.”

Autumn Love plunged down the tiny knife repeatedly, but nothing came out of Queen Medusa’s corpse. Just as she was despairing, her little knife finally broke through Queen Medusa’s skin and a green liquid spewed out of the wound.

Autumn Love was poisoned once more and fell down on the floor, dead….

“Brother Dark Wing, where are you? Where have all of you gone to? Wait, what about my snake hair, you still haven’t returned my snake hair to me…” cried Autumn Love as she lay on the floor.

After bringing his members out of the dungeon, he decided not to return. Instead, he used the friend summoning tool to summon ten people over.

1,000 strands of snake hair were equivalent to ten tickets to the Demoness’ Ruins. Since he had come here on a whim, he might as well just use up the hair.

Just as he entered the dungeon, Autumn Love sent him a message, asking him to return the 1,000 strands of snake hair back to her.

“Oh dear, I’m sorry, but I’ve refined them all into potions.”

“Are you serious?”

“Yeah, I’ve used up all of it to up my mastery level.”

“Send over a few bottles of antidotes then. I don’t need much, 20 is enough.”

“Missy Autumn, I’ll be frank. My refining luck this time is kinda awful and I’ve already gifted the three successful bottles to my friends and the others were all failures.”

“…”

Li Yi had learned early on that the best way to deal with the underhanded missy was by dodging the topic altogether to silence her.

“I’ve used around three months to collect this much snake hair, these items were very precious…”

“I’m so sooorrryy…”

This time, Li Yi had summoned all of Little Drunk Cat’s elites, even Chen Yang. Fatty had camped in the small black room for nearly seven days last time and had lost his legendary staff. However, he had made himself a new one, and though the attack was a tad weaker than the original, it was still stronger than the average gear of other players.

“We’re currently attempting the Demoness’ Ruins. The equipment drops would be assigned based on needs, and if there are any disputes on the drops, we would divide them based on Guild Points. Whoever contributed the most would receive the equipment!”

Just as they entered the dungeon, Li Yi made the announcement.

Li Yi did not keep Blood Jade Ring and had given it to Jiaojiao.

Each person could only equip two rings, and Li Yi was already wearing a Ring of Windstorms and Trickery Ring. Furthermore, Blood Jade Ring’s attributes were not that great, and he was too lazy to change his equipment, so he gave it to Jiaojiao.

Every class could equip accessories and rings, even the Black Paladins.

Without the feeder and carving maniac Autumn Love, and with 13 party members, the party made quick work of the dungeon. They did not have to stop at all and very quickly, had arrived before the first boss.

Li Yi was explaining the battle strategy, and as he did so, he made gestures with his hands as well, which was much more intuitive than Autumn Love’s explanation.

Fire Ice’s jaw dropped as an obsessed expression flashed across her face…

Chen Yang saw it, and could not resist the urge to message her, asking, “Ice, have you fallen for Brother Yi?”

“Whattt? No!” Fire Ice shouted. She forgot to use private chat and interrupted Li Yi’s explanation.

Everybody’s gaze fell upon her, and she covered her face in embarrassment.

“Sigh, whyy? I look so charming, but you don’t like me and had instead fallen for the Prince of Picture Fapping…” Chen Yang’s face had a crestfallen expression.

“Tall Tall, don’t be sad. You’re a good person, and I’ll always see you as a brother…”

“You… You’ve shattered my heart again.”

In reality, Chen Yang had no connections to Fire Ice whatsoever. In the beginning, Fatty was infatuated with Fire Ice’s good looks and had pursued her continuously. However, it was a one-sided relationship as she was uninterested in him. After a short struggle, he finally had a change of heart. After the meeting in real life, he had gotten to know a few beastly beauties and had thrown Fire Ice to the back of his mind.

In his words, ‘We’ve already known each other for months but she still doesn’t even let hold her hand. I have truly lost my interest in her…’

Fire Ice added fuel to the fire, she privately messaged Chen Yang, “Tall Tall, let me ask you, is Guild Master Dark Wing really the… the… Prince of Picture Fapping?”

“True as steel!”

“Ice, you should know that Brother Yi is surrounded by women. If you want to be his lady, I don’t think you would even make it to the top three. By my estimates, you would be ranked on the seventh or eighth.

Fire Ice bit her lip and spouted words that plunged Chen Yang into despair.

“I don’t care even if I’m his ninth lady, all I want is… to be by his side!”

Chen Yang raised his head and howled. He faced Li Yi and said, “Brother Yi, teach your brother the ways of picking up ladies…”

“Despicable abnormalities, face the terror of Angust!”

It was a common sight for Fatty to howl out of a sudden and everyone was already accustomed to it. However, the first boss Angust did not see it the same way. He bellowed and rushed over, grabbing him and giving him a suplex.

“Boom!”
