MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

It had been 10 hours since they first entered Foreignland. Now that they had passed the demon army, they were in the Seventh Demon God’s territory.

While Miss Jiao was playing dead, Li Yi to explore on his own, putting Pseudocide and Camouflage to good use in kiting away any demons he encountered on his way to the Seventh Demon God Altar.

Miss Jiao stayed put on the ground for half an hour while Li Yi was gone luring away monsters. However, when he ran back to electrocute Jiaojiao with his Cardiac Pacemaker, an unfortunate event occurred.

Black smoked emerged from the Cardiac Pacemaker. It had suffered a mechanical breakdown…

“Lil. Yi. Zi…” Jiaojiao forced these words through her teeth. If she could move now, she would pounce onto Li Yi and bite him.

“Wait another half an hour. There’s no rush, there’s still plenty of monsters yet to be lured away.”

Li Yi activated Rocket Propellant to run far away, fleeing before Jiaojiao could scream at him.

With another half an hour passed, Li Yi ran back perspiring profusely and attached the Cardiac Pacemaker to Jiaojiao.

Szh szh…

With a shimmer of electricity, Jiaojiao rose. The resurrection was finally a success.

Jiaojiao grunted. “What shitty stuff is this? Throw it away tomorrow.”

Li Yi smiled. “The chances of reviving is 95%. You were just out of luck.

“Let’s go, I have cleared all the monsters in our pathway. Ladies, if you please.”

“Now this is more like it.”

Shouldering her greatsword, Jiaojiao cheerfully went on her way with a strut.

Qian’er was giggling and walked at the back.

Li Yi’s hour of work had cleared the pathway to the Seventh Demon God Altar of monsters. It was smooth sailing for the trio to the altar and soon they came upon the three human heroes and the Seventh Demon God locked in a confrontation.

Emperor Lan was in front and had a giant Bloody Cross suspended behind him. This was the symbol of a God-Chastised Paladin. Augustus stood behind him, gleaming with Blade Aura, the Blade’s Territory unique to Blademasters. Holy Light Envoy, Elenor stood behind them, shimmering with golden Holy Light as she stood ready with her staff held high.

Opposite the three human heroes was a monstrous man with horns on his head, purple eyes, and black hair. He was smirking as he stared coldly at them.

He was one of Foreignland’s seven Demon Gods, the Fallen Demon God, also known as the Seventh Demon God.

The Fallen Demon God was not huge, about the size of an adult man. He wore a black robe, holding a peculiar-looking fork in each hand. A dark aura lingered around these forks, suggesting its extraordinary quality.

Without any player triggering this scene, the three human heroes would continue to engage in a stand-off with the Seventh Demon God. A fight would only break out when a player drew near.

“Lil Yi’zi, is the Seventh Demon God the weakest of the Demon Gods? Wow, this Demon God’s a hottie. Wow, look at his forks. Can I use them?”

Jiaojiao’s series of questions really stumped Li Yi, who in response, decided to pinch her little face.

“Hottie my ass.

“Buff up, we’re up next.”

Li Yi took out a scroll and crushed it.

An Advanced-level Dark Resistance Scroll, upon usage, could temporarily enhance a party member’s Dark Resistance by 50 points.

Jiaojiao unleashed Dark Aura, to increase the party’s Dark Resistance while Qian’er unleashed INT Light Ring, to increase the party’s INT by 50 points.

With their stats buffed up, Li Yi led the two women to the altar.

The trio walked up the altar and the plot began to unfold.

“Hahahaha, I wouldn’t in a million years think to see you again. How strange, don’t you humans have short lives? Why aren’t you three little squirms dead after a thousand years?” The Fallen Demon God smirked at the three heroes, sticking out his tongue at times to run his tongue between his two steel tridents.

Jiaojiao had goosebumps all over, “Ew…”

“You just said he was a hottie.”

Just as the two were about to start their bantering again, Qian’er butted in, “Stop your fighting, look…”

“I didn’t think as the Demonic Tribe’s third prince; you would inherit the Seventh Demon God’s title.”

Emperor Lan took a step forward and took down the Bloody Cross from behind his back before hurling it towards the Fallen Demon God.

Emperor Lan’s Bloody Cross was not physical but pure energy formed from his powers. The Bloody Cross’ power was far beyond Augustus’ Blade Aura.

“Hyek hyek hyek hyek…”

Fallen Demon God lifted his head for a guffaw, stretching his twin forks out to clamp the incoming Bloody Cross before tossing it back.

Emperor Lan created and hurled another Bloody Cross. The two Bloody Crosses collided in the air, exploding in a blast, and causing the grounds to tremble.

“The little boy seems to be so much better than before. Hehe, immortal human, I wonder if your flesh will be tasty?”

The Fallen Demon God took another lick of his steel trident before disappearing from sight.

“Blade’s Territory!”

Augustus released a Territory light barrier to trap the Seventh Demon God within. The coverage of his Territory light barrier far exceeded Li Yi’s.

Clang clang clang clang clang!

Countless ethereal swords appeared within Augustus’ Territory, fluttering and dancing about, sensing the intruder.

“I recall Blademasters and God-chastised Paladins were two practices that died out in the last God-Demon War. Who would have thought I’d have the chance to witness them again?”

The Fallen Demon God’s voice echoed in the air and soon a giant steel trident dozens of meters long descended from the sky, piercing Augustus’ Territory.

“Tst tst tst —”

The three human heroes teleported out of the way, but the shockwave from the steel trident stabbing into the ground had caused serious damage.

[-299999]

[-299999]

[-299999]

Elenor whipped her staff out to replenish the lost HP.

“Bzz bzz bzzt…”

The Fallen Demon God’s enlarged steel trident stuck on the ground was quivering, sending out ripple after ripple of sound waves. Back in Augustus’ party, the heroes were unleashing their Territory light barrier to overlap them and brace against the sound wave.

As bystanders, Li Yi and the rest were not spared as their judgement was muddled from the contact of the sound waves. Their ears were ringing with whispers from the Fallen Demon God. The trio held their hands over their heads as they fell to their knees. The HP bar above their heads was sinking fast and soon the display was at 1 point.

With the Fallen Demon God’s laughter in the background, the giant steel trident lifted in the air and stabbed towards Augustus’ party. However, this time it was different. It trembled when it struck the ground, but two steel tridents emerged upon the strike, taking turns in clobbering.

“Ch! Ch! Ch! Ch! Ch!”

The two steel tridents’ consecutive attacks forced Augustus’ party to take cover. Just as they pulled back to the edge of the altar, the two steel tridents lifted up high and plummeted down.

There was no way of escape.

Emperor Lan let out a scream and raised his weapon upward to block the steel trident.

“Bp!”

Emperor Lan’s weapon was broken in half, but it only managed to slow down the plummeting steel trident. Pft! It stabbed Emperor Lan through the chest, pinning him on the ground.

Meanwhile, Augustus’ ethereal swords were not able to ward off the other steel trident, landing him the same fate as Emperor Lan — pinned on the ground.

Out of the three camp heroes, only Elenor could move freely.

Jiaojiao was shocked, “WTH, isn’t this Demon God too powerful?”

The Fallen Demon God’s figure was suspended in midair and with a gentle flutter, he hung above the two steel tridents.

“Bow to me and I will grant you eternal life. Oh wait, you are already immortal. Great, bow to me and I will satisfy your every wish.”

“My wish is for you to go to hell!”

Emperor Lan spread out his palms, creating a Bloody Cross behind Fallen Demon God and hitting him hard.

“Bp!”

Struck, -2,000,000 damage in red emerged above the Fallen Demon God’s head.

“Sword’s Ultimate State!”

Augustus too made his move, aiming directly at the Fallen Demon God in full battle array.

Pft pft pft pft pft —

Thousands of ethereal swords pierced through the Fallen Demon God’s body and each blade took off tens of thousands of damage.

Elenor unleashed Holy Light Illumination, replenishing tens of thousands of HP. It was an easy task to maintain Augustus and Emperor Lan’s life with this super healbot around. Nobody could die as long as she remained alive.

“Bloody Cross — Sin!”

Emperor Lan took the opportunity while the Fallen Demon God was stabbed by Blade Aura to exhaust half his HP and unleashed the God-chastised Paladin’s ultimate skill, Bloody Cross — Sin.

As Emperor Lan’s HP disappeared, a Bloody Cross rose behind him and at his command, it flew towards the Fallen Demon God.

Pft!

An interesting twist. Emperor Lan and Augustus were both pinned by the steel tridents, but the Fallen Demon God’s movements were restricted too, being pinned to the ground by Emperor Lan’s Bloody Cross — Sin.

The Fallen Demon God gritted his teeth, “Damn you God-chastised Paladin, my powers are sealed…”

Emperor Lan bent over to pull out the steel trident over him.

Tch tch, tch tch…

The steel trident was slowly removed by Emperor Lan.

“Real… real man,” Jiaojiao gasped in admiration.

Feeling no pain, Emperor Lan went to pull Augustus’ after he was done with his. Unlike him, Augustus was screaming out in pain and after the steel trident departed his body, his body lay limp on the ground due to the immense pain.

“Holy Light Recovery!”

Super healbot Elenor was quick to release a powerful heal, fixing up their wounds.

Jiaojiao asked, “Lil Yi’zi, is the animation almost over yet?”

“There’s still more. The Fallen Demon God’s about to strike back.”

Li Yi had just finished talking when the Fallen Demon God regained control over the situation.

“Darkness Territory!”

A dark light barrier spread out and under the suppression of the Fallen Demon God’s Territory, Augustus, Emperor Lan, and Elenor’s Territory rapidly shrunk until their Territory only covered their bodies.

“Territory Skill — Darkness Sink!”

A black whirlwind blew from the center of the Territory, spinning so fast it became a tornado, sweeping Augustus’ party within it.

[-299999]

[-299999]

[-299999]

Dealing close to thirty thousand damage per second, the wind rotated endlessly until the trio’s HP diminished to nothingness, leaving them dead.

After the black whirlwind disappeared, the black Territory light barrier retreated back into Fallen Demon God’s body. However, Emperor Lan’s HP-exhausting Bloody Cross — Sin had yet to disappear as it was still nailing him down.

Fallen Demon God cried out, “Damn you God-chastised Paladin…”

Having Bloody Cross — Sin nail him to the ground, the Fallen Demon God’s HP was gradually reduced…

“It’s our turn now.”

Li Yi stood up and drank a bottle of Sacred Tranquility.
