MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

“Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill…”

At Jiaojiao’s order, that Berserker Ghoul that was on Guard charged forward with the rest of the ghoul army. They formed multiple circles surrounding A Bucket Of Paste and attacked him in a frenzy.

“Holy Protection, Holy Flash, Holy Healing Skill…”

The ghoul army fell continuously. When Jiaojiao rushed forward with her greatsword, only half of the ghouls were left from the approximately 80 ghouls from before.

Wham! Wham! Wham!

The greatsword hacked and slashed. A Bucket Of Paste’s HP plummeted alongside Jiaojiao’s.

“Dark Contract!”‘

Paladins knew healing skills while Dark Paladins do not. However, Dark Paladins could consume their own pets to regenerate 50% of their HP.

Hold on and attack violently!

Lord of Disaster was raised high and slashed downwards abruptly. Right where the sword hit A Bucket Of Paste, an explosive effect occurred. He was so unlucky that Jiaojiao’s strike was a Critical Hit!

[-19754]

[-9875]

A Bucket Of Paste collapsed tragically to the ground after two consecutive strikes from Jiaojiao’s sword.

Victory!

“Yeah! Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!”

In the display, Jiaojiao made a peace sign with her hands while shaking her buttocks in celebration of her success.

“The task is brought to successful completion. Let’s kiss.”

Li Yi was overjoyed too. He had placed a bet of 50 million on Jiaojiao, and since she had won the match, the 50 million was tripled to become 150 million.

Queen Jiao had won. Some had smiled while others had cried at the result.

Those who won had obviously smiled, while the losers shed tears for their loss.

Autumn Love was the most pitiful among the weepers.

Due to Li Yi’s bet, many of the players had followed to place their bets on Jiaojiao. Even though she had quickly closed the bet, it was too late for her to mitigate her loss. Now, Queen Jiao success has caused her to lose everything she had after she calculated the payment she owed to those who placed bets with her…

Rumor has it that Autumn Love cried throughout the pay-out process. Then, she grew so sick that she did not log onto the game for ten days straight.

“Everything is on me today. What do you want to eat? I’ll go and buy it,” Li Yi suggested.

“That’s great. I want potato chips, rice crackers…” Jiaojiao rambled out a list of snacks, counting with her fingers.

“We’re not eating snacks today. Instead, let’s get some alcohol in us to celebrate your win in the championship. Ah, I’ll get Director Yang here too so four of us could celebrate this together.”

Jiaojiao squinted at Li Yi.

“What’s up with you?”

“Are you thinking of having a foursome?”

“B*llshit, do I look like someone who would do that?”

Jiaojiao exchanged a look with Fire Ice. Jiaojiao nodded while Fire Ice shook her head.

“Ice, you… You… you…” Jiaojiao was furious.

“Guild Master is a good person, he’s not that kind of man.”

Jiaojiao was agitated. “He’s exactly that kind of man!”

Fire Ice smiled but did not reply. Judging by her looks, she probably would never believe that Li Yi was ‘that kind of man’ even if she was beaten to death for it.

“I suspect that you might’ve been brainwashed by him. Hmph, you perverted man, even though you’re relatively unskilled in everything else, I’m incredibly impressed by your ability in fooling women.”

“You’re impressed?”

“Yeah. He had managed to woo such a difficult woman like yours truly by himself. How could I not be impressed?”

“Pfft,” Fire Ice laughed, “No one would describe themselves like that.”

“I’m going out to buy some groceries. We’ll have seafood tonight!”

Li Yi went out.

Li Yi called Little Elf from the Magical Realm when he was on his way to invite her for the gathering. She had gladly agreed to it.

Li Yi was always a ferocious buyer. He did not behave differently this time either, as he had managed to fill the boot of his car to the brim before returning home.

After three hours, the meal was ready. Little Elf from the Magical Realm has arrived in her car too.

“Director Yang, why isn’t Momo here?”

“She’s still at school.”

“Oh. These are the toys that I have bought for the kid.”

A pile of Grass Mud Horse toy was placed in a corner.

Little Elf from the Magical Realm blushed and scoffed, “Couldn’t you buy something else?”

These Grass Mud Horses were cartoon versions of the real ones and looked very adorable. However, the meaning behind these toys was the problem, and it was incredibly awkward for Little Elf from the Magical Realm.

“If I bought anything else, Momo wouldn’t like it.”

“Ahem…”

This time, Little Elf from the Magical Realm did not come empty-handed. She brought ten bottles of top-grade wine with her. Even though Li Yi had no idea how much these wines actually cost, he believed that anything from Director Yang would not be cheap.

The four of them sat while Li Yi raised his glass of wine. “Here’s to celebrate Jiaojiao’s success in the championship, cheers.”

Four glasses clinked against each other and soon became empty.

The conversations between gamers would never run out. The four of them chatted while they sipped on wine in a lively atmosphere. They became drunk soon enough.

Jiaojiao glared at Yang Rong and Fire Ice with drunk eyes as she warned, “Stop drinking so much, be careful of the pervert.”

“Pervert? Where?” Li Yi checked his surroundings.

“You.”

Jiaojiao and Little Elf from the Magical Realm pointed at him simultaneously.

“I’m not a pervert. Right, Fire Ice?” Li Yi was gleeful when he saw Fire Ice nodding in agreement. “Haha, Fire Ice is truly the one that understands me.”

10,000 words were cut off from the following section… ¹

Little Elf from the Magical Realm only left for home very late into the night. When she left, her walking gait was strange and she took tiny steps. Walking seemed like a tedious chore for her.

She went on her car and lied belly down at the back seat.

Her female driver asked, “Director Yang, why don’t you sit up on your seat?”

It took a long while before Little Elf from the Magical Realm could muster up a reply. “I’ve had too much to drink and I’m feeling sick… Just drive, I’ll lie down for a while.”

That night, Li Yi slept soundly until noon the next day. He was woken up by Jiaojiao’s raining punches and smacks.

“Stop sleeping you pig! Something has happened!”

“What’s going on?” Li Yi opened his eyes and yawned.

“Someone massacred our major city.”

“Oh, just let them massacre it, it’s very normal.”

“Normal my *ss! All six of our major cities were massacred in one night! Oh right, your Shattered Frost City…”

Before Jiaojiao could finish speaking, Li Yi abruptly sat up and put on the gaming headset as fast as he could. He logged on the game.

A city-wide massacre could be done by killing all NPCs in a city. This was a difficult feat for low-level players, but the situation now was different. Level 100 was the common level among players, and a city-wide massacre could now be done by simply gathering eight hundred to a thousand players together.

A city-wide massacre would cause definite negative impacts, such as a hefty repair fee for all NPCs in the city, an increase in transaction fees, and general inflation on all goods prices.

However, these were not the cause of Li Yi’s astonishment. Instead, it was his Shattered Frost City!

After all, Onyxia the Black Dragon Princess was located right at Shattered Frost City. Since there was a massacre in the city, what has happened to Onyxia?

Li Yi went online and rushed to Shattered Frost City as quickly as he could. What greeted him was a sight of destruction.

It was as if the entire city was engulfed by raging flames. Smoke was everywhere while gunfire grazed the earth. Around the area, the fire continued to burn with no signs of stopping…

No NPC was visible in the city. All of them were dead already.

How violent and cruel!

Li Yi rode on the Black-feathered Golden Eagle to do an aerial check on the city. To him, all losses on the major city were not important. The only thing that was significant to him was whether Onyxia was still alive after the attack.

In an effort to ‘sustain’ Onyxia’s life, Li Yi would promote and demote her position every day. He would fuss about this every day just so that she could provide her Summon Emblem as soon as possible. Only then could she be summoned at will like the Mermaid Princess.

From the air, Li Yi could see that everything including buildings, NPCs, and the Castellan’s residence were in ruins…

Archiemonde, the Vice Castellan, stood alone before the ruined Castellan’s residence. When he saw Li Yi landing from the sky, he immediately fell to his knees.

All NPCs in the city except Archiemonde has perished!

“Lord Castellan, I have failed to protect our city. Please punish me!” Archiemonde burst into tears. Even though he was just an NPC, but he gave the genuine impression of someone who has lost his home and family.

Li Yi shouted, “Get up. Do still remember what the killer looked like? How many killers were there? Tell me everything.”

“Yes, Lord Castellan.” Archiemonde wiped his tears away and said somberly, “There’s only one killer!”

Li Yi was taken aback. “One killer?”

Archiemonde clenched his fist and nodded sharply. “There’s only one killer, an archer with the Divine Bird Phoenix! The killer has wrecked the entire city!”

“A phoenix Archer!” Li Yi’s eyes suddenly widened. He thought of a person.

Taking out the Divine Looking Glass, Li Yi keyed in two words – Drifting Snow.

[Target cannot be searched…]

Cannot be searched? Did the player log out of the game?

Li Yi’s eyes grew colder by the second.

At this time, Jiaojiao came online and had Teleported herself to him after asking for his location.

Li Yi asked, “All of the six major cities were destroyed by one person, right?”

Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment. “How did you know?”

It was true. That person’s luck was still the same as in the past life, huh…

In his previous life, only one player had a phoenix as their pet. That player was Drifting Snow, Pet Archer and Phoenix King of the Fluttering Snow Alliance!

In the past life, the Archer class was always the weaker class. However, that did not apply to all Archers as a few of them still managed to be overwhelmingly powerful.

As an example, Fang Jie and Shoot Until Daybreak were two of the best Archers in the game. Their skills were definitely better than the average joe.

Similar to Li Yi, both Fang Jie and Shoot Until Daybreak were Archers of the Assassination Path, more commonly known as the Shooting Archer. No other person among the millions of Assassination Archers in the King of Pantheons was as overpowered as them.

Aside from the Assassination Path, there was still a few notable players in the Trap Path. Another Archer stood different from the norm. That was Drifting Snow the Phoenix King, the one that was regarded as the strongest Pet Archer by many players in the game.

There was an extremely slim chance for players of the Archer class that opened the Mysterious Egg to hatch the Orange-Quality, Legendary-level pet – the baby phoenix. However, this was always regarded as a myth because aside from Drifting Snow, no other player had managed to hatch a baby phoenix from the Mysterious Egg.

Only Drifting Snow had a phoenix as a pet. It was one-of-a-kind in the entire game.

In his past life, countless people were jealous of Drifting Snow’s luck. Many rich players would purchase Mysterious Eggs in a frenzy just to hatch a phoenix, but all of their efforts have ended in vain. Some even went bankrupt in the process, and yet no one had managed to hatch another pet phoenix.

The ruin before his eyes was the best proof of how powerful the Divine Bird Phoenix is. In the past life, Drifting Snow has often fought alone and won against hundreds, thousands, or ten thousand players. All of that was possible because of the Divine Bird Phoenix.

Ambushing us when Jiaojiao and I were both absent? Fluttering Snow Alliance, was that what you have reduced yourself to?

Li Yi snorted coldly as a ball of furious icy fire burned in his heart.

Onyxia was gone, and it was highly likely that she had died. All of his blood, sweat, and effort have probably gone to waste…

“Roar!”

Just when Li Yi was stewing in his anger, a dragon’s roar was heard from the sky. Onyxia the Black Dragon Princess stretched her wings wide and flew towards the city from afar.

The Black Dragon Princess was alive!
