MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

Pak!

A -16,754 damage appeared on top of Yuria’s head!

After dwelling on it for some time, Li Yi decided to help Akna defeat Yuria!

System Notification: [The Affinity between you and Yuria has decreased by 10000 points…]

The System Notification beeped in his ears. Their relationship had been reduced to ‘Hostile’ by the time Li Yi struck Yuria the second time.

Swoosh swoosh—

Li Yi hid inside the ice cave, shooting a few arrows at times, and it was then Akna presented extraordinary bravery by summoning undead beings continuously to restrain Yuria.

Silly Swan got up from the ground then. She had learned from her mistake this time and ran behind a piece of iceberg, cursing Yuria secretly.

It was three against one, and Yuria could not hold on much longer. Her HP was plummeting fast. She was about to die very soon.

“Lil’ Red…”

Yuria called out to her red proto-dragon whelp. She was planning an escape!

“B*tch! You have nowhere to run!”

Akna took a step forward to summon a giant skeletal dragon in the sky.

“Roar—”

The skeletal dragon spewed a green-colored breath, drowning Yuria in a second.

Yuria struggled as she climbed onto her red proto-dragon whelp, fleeing to the opposite direction of Akna.

Li Yi had activated God Mode and was already waiting for her in the air. The moment he saw Yuria, he launched a full-on attack.

“Eliminate! Eliminate! Eliminate! Eliminate! Eliminate! Eliminate!”

Pak! Pak! Pak! Pak…

The powerful Elimination Arrow struck Yuria whose life was already hanging by the thread, causing her horrific damage. After suffering over ten Elimination Arrows, Yuria let out a shriek and fell onto her mount…

“Humans. You’re pure evil…”

These were Yuria’s last words to Li Yi.

Li Yi shook his head helplessly. He had to help Akna until the end since he had chosen her to help. If he let Yuria run away, then the next person whose life would be in danger would be him.

Only by defeating Yuria would the respawned version of herself had a ‘Friendly’ relationship with him.

Ding!

System Notification: [You’ve aided Akna in killing Yuria and earned Akna’s gratitude in return. The Affinity between you and Akna has increased by 5000 points. The relationship between you two has been upgraded to ‘Respectful.’]

Every time you lost something, you would gain something in return as well. His Affinity with Yuria might have decreased significantly, but Akna’s Affinity towards him had risen.

Li Yi walked towards Yuria’s corpse and reached out with his hand.

Ding!

[You’ve obtained a secret letter. “To Yuria, my most beloved. From Andrew Fabio.”

Akna flew to him riding on her skeletal dragon.

“I owe it to you.”

Akna thanked Li Yi coldly.

Li Yi smiled and tossed the secret letter to her. Akna opened the letter and let out a wail.

It was the same exact expression as Yuria when she read the letter.

“Andrew, you b*stard!”

Akna lost her composure and rode away on her skeletal dragon…

“Teacher Akna, Teacher Akna…”

Silly Swan came jolting over on a skeletal wolf just then.

Li Yi quickly put on his Cursing Sect Outfit and turned into a Cursing Disciple.

Silly Swan looked at Li Yi with surprise. “Mr. U… Ulumuchi?”

“Yes, we meet again, hahahaha.”

“Mr. Ulumuchi, did you see where my teacher went?” Silly Swan was a cat on hot bricks. She had caught so many fish and came to complete the quest, but Akna was nowhere to be found. How could she not become impatient?

Li Yi pointed behind him. “She flew to the west.”

“Thank you!”

Silly Swan navigated the skeletal wolf and left in a huff.

Li Yi did not lie to her. The west was where Akna was headed.

Li Yi summoned Frosty Wolf and rushed to the northeast direction instead…

Although Akna did not provide him with any reward this time, he knew that the reward he would receive on their next encounter would not be less than Yuria could offer.

Not far from Frostfall Mountain was the Cursing Sect’s secret base. There was a teleportation door that could teleport him back to the continent.

It would be difficult to get close to the teleportation door without this special tool called Cursing Sect Outfit. The Cursing Disciples of the North Pole were of high positions. There were no regular disciples. The lowest level would be those disciples in green clothes. There was a lot of them, and each and every one of their levels was high. Their ATK was fierce and overwhelming. They were named one of the most revered forces of the north.

Li Yi was in a hurry to get back so he did not accept the Cursing Sect’s secret base quest. He went back to his continent with the teleportation door instead.

“Mood, how’s the progress of your instance dungeon?”

Li Yi carried on with his journey without stopping. He ran his way to Dragonbone Waste while checking in on Pretty Good Mood to ask about the battle.

“It’s similar to the last time. We’re stuck and have been TPK over twenty times. No improvement…”

“Wait for me. I’ll be there in ten minutes!”

“Guild Master, you’re coming? That’s great, hahaha. We’ll definitely pass with you here!” Pretty Good Moodexclaimed excitedly.

Swish!

Li Yi had teleported himself to Dragonbone Waste. He rode on Black-feathered Golden Eagle and headed for the Light Conference Instance Dungeon.

He was in a rush more than ever. If it were not for Akna’s reward, he would already be there.

Black-feathered Golden Eagle was flying on full speed and managed to arrive at the entrance of Light Conference in no time. Li Yi was just added to the party and heading into the dungeon when he received a voice message.

“Hahahaha, Dark Wing, you lose!” The arrogant voice belonged to Defiantly Tyrannical.

Li Yi asked, “What do you mean?”

Defiantly Tyrannical chuckled. “Look at the world!”

One minute later, the system channels were flooding in red…

[Three Major Guild Alliance party led by Defiantly Tyrannical has killed all the bosses in Light Conference. The battle has been successfully ended. System reward 20000 Gold Coins obtained! System reward 5000 points Reputation Value in various major cities obtained! System reward 3000000 EXP obtained! Additional +3 Skill Points obtained!]

System reward 5000 points Reputation Value in various major cities obtained! System reward 3000000 EXP obtained! Additional +3 Skill Points obtained!]

…

Light and Darkness Instance’s second group instance dungeon, Dark Paladin, was unlocked. Every player in King of Pantheon could now attack the respective dungeon.

…

The entire region was in red. The 200 names of Three Major Guild Alliance players’ refreshed time and again on the screen, shocking the whole world…

Li Yi himself was flabbergasted, so much so he forgot what he was doing. He just stared blankly at the System Announcement blaring in red without moving a muscle.

Defiantly Tyrannical led the party and cleared the Light Conference Instance Dungeon? That… That was impossible. Wasn’t Assembled Gods led by Amber Sword Heart progressing the furthest?

“Hahahahaha, Dark Wing, bet you never thought that this would happen. Hahahahaha…” Defiantly Tyrannical’s laughter rang in his ears. Li Yi could not do anything but chuckled bitterly.

The matter of Defiantly Tyrannical leading his team to take down Light Conference was really unexpected.

“Guild Master, Defiant…” Pretty Good Mood sent a message.

“I know. Don’t stop, keep going at it!” Li Yi ordered and continued his journey in.

Li Yi was knee deep in his thoughts during the entire journey.

A lot of things had changed if he were to compare his past life with his present one. The players’ fates were changing as he was the one making changes to them…

Arthur’s Empire and Three Major Guild Alliance were ruined by his hand, and many of the players’ fates were altered because of this. He suddenly came to the realization that the structure of King of Pantheon was quietly undergoing some transformation.

Li Yi sprinted all the way to where the final boss was only to witness the party led by Pretty Good Mood suffer another TPK…

“The just Holy Light shines through. May your souls rest in peace…”

Four paladins in golden armor raised their swords on the platform. Beneath them scattered the corpses of the players.

These four golden-armored paladins were the final bosses of Light Conference—The Four Light Knights.

The Four Light Knights were called The Four Roaches by the players because their presence had stymied the progress of the players for three whole months already. As it was, one could tell how stubborn these Four Roaches were.

Li Yi took out Cardiac Pacemaker Model and placed it on one of the priest’s chest. A stream of light flickered for a moment before the priest stood up.

The Cardiac Pacemaker Model had been useful.

The priest first rescued another priest. They then rescued everyone else. Soon, the entire party members were resurrected.

“Guild Master… We lost.” Little Drunk Cat’s senior heal bot, Wu Old Wolf’s eyes reddened. He had not slept for days just so they could clear Light Conference.

Nirvana Inaction said indignantly, “I’m not satisfied with how it ended. We were so close! If we were given a little bit more time, we’d have cleared it!”

“Yes, we were so close! We just need another hour at most and we’d have cleared it!”

“Motherf*ucking Defiantly Tyrannical, how did they catch up? It doesn’t make sense!”

“It doesn’t make sense to me too…”

The party members fell into a heated discussion on the matter. Li Yi saw how low their spirits were. It was obvious that the result of the battle had given them quite a shock.

Li Yi looked at Jiaojiao and found her lugging her greatsword without uttering a word. Her dainty lips were pouted up high. It was an indication of her dissatisfaction towards their failure.

Confused Fox quickly waved his arm. “Everyone, keep your cool, keep your cool. The video of Three Major Guild Alliance’s first kill will be broadcasted tomorrow by Pantheon officials. We’ll find out then.”

Flower Underpants walked over. “Dark Wing, are we still going to continue? With the Four Roaches’ first kill gone, I think we might as well go for Dark Paladin. I’m sure we’ll be able to turn the tide with you by our side.”

“Yes, Guild Master. Your word is our command. We won’t sleep or eat until the night of our life arrives. We won’t feel good unless we turn the tide on them,” The No. 1 Wizard of Little Drunk Cat, Wang Wang Dumplings made its appearance.

Li Yi nodded and walked to the front of the party. His presence made the entire party fell silent.

“I don’t blame you for having Light Conference’s first kill snatched.”

Li Yi pointed at Pretty Good Mood. “Mood, you did well. You’ve made no mistakes at all in giving out your commands. You would pass soon enough.”

Li Yi pointed at the whole team. “You are at no faults. If you were given the same allocated time as Defiantly Tyrannical and his party to clear the dungeon, we wouldn’t have lost.

“None of you are at fault, only I… am to blame,”

Li Yi lowered his head and apologized to every member of the party
