MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

Li Yi had already started running gracefully the moment the humongous arrow shot out.

“Boom!”

Fire spread everywhere, leaving a huge charred crater on the ground.

Li Yi did not stop as he kept repeating the former pattern as he continued kiting the firepower outside of the tower’s attack range.

It was that simple to attract the attention of the Fire Arrow Tower. One did not require any complex maneuvers and anyone would be able to do it as long as they knew how to do it. If the Fire Arrow Tower were not destroyed and there were endless reinforcement towards the grand dwarf army appearing in front of them, the rest of the party could focus on the army while one of them kite the tower.

Old Green was loitering about outside of the entrance of the Instance Dungeon as he let off some steam verbally every once in a while.

It was impossible for him to run back to his corpse which was in the Instance Dungeon while the team was engaged in combat.

The pressure towards the healer and main tank at the front line was greatly reduced once the firepower of the Fire Arrow Tower was kited away. The arrow tower was quickly brought down under the leadership of Hua Feiwu.

Hua Feiwu brought his men along as he ran towards the arrow tower near Li Yi. He did not even ask how Li Yi did it as he looked around for some moment before asking him, “Did Old Green die?”

Li Yi then told him the truth. “He died.”

“I’ll deal with you after we’re done fighting!” Hua Feiwu glared at Li Yi as he started attacking the arrow tower.

“Deal with me? What for? That trickster tried to lure monsters to harm me and he was punished by his own actions due to his incompetence.”

Li Yi went closer to Hua Feiwu as he spoke.

A slight twitch could be seen at the edge of Hua Feiwu’s lips as he ignored him. He then distanced himself away from Li Yi as black lights started flashing in his hands.

Boom!

As the final arrow tower fell, the Fire Dwarfs at the front line lost their composure as they rushed towards them for support.

Hua Feiwu shouted, “Kill every single one of them. Main tanks, maintain your position while the DPS attack with everything they have!”

Light Ball, Fire Ball, Light Sword, Poisonous Mist, Frost Arrow… all of them rained down towards the Fire Dwarf grand army.

The battle concluded after some ten minutes.

There were a total of 7 people, including Old Green who was dead and Delicately Cute was very satisfied with the death count. The reason was that the Dark Empire had zero deaths.

Delicately Cute rushed towards Li Yi as she nodded. “You’ve done well. I’ll give you 10 points.”

Li Yi shrugged. It would be natural for him to take the money if he were given the choice to do so.

Hua Feiwu butted in coldly. “Let’s not get too happy yet. We will have to fight the first boss Fire Wizard Kruder next. If we were to be wiped out by him, all of our hard efforts would go to waste.”

If all of them were to die at the hand of Kruder, they would have to fight against the arrow towers, and even the four Fire Tanks again. The worst thing of all was that there would not be any rewards if they were to fight it once more.

“There was a Fire Dwarf that snatched away my Destruction Staff back then. I would like to ask the main tanks to see if you guys have looted it?”

All of the ten main tanks shook their heads in unison.

“I’m very sure that that particular Fire Dwarf will not be respawned by that system and the Destruction Staff will definitely be dropped. If one of you have looted the staff and chosen not to return it to me, I, Hua Feiwu, will kill you until you decide to delete your account and quite the game.”

That Destruction Staff was a gold quality item and was the strongest class weapon below level 20. This weapon alone had the GS of 78 and Hua Feiwu’s strength would decrease by half without this staff.

Li Yi said calmly, “The Destruction Staff is a drop from the Violent Ape King, right? Hehe. Looks like the reward from the previous battle was quite a good one.”

Hua Feiwu squinted. “How do you know the Destruction Staff is a drop from the Violent Ape King?”

“It’s written very clearly on the website. Those who’ve always go to the website would’ve known about it, right?”

Hua Feiwu scoffed as it was obvious that he did not believe Li Yi.

“Don’t give me that look. I didn’t loot your staff and even if I did, it’s another ball game whether I would return it to you.”

“Are you provoking me?” Hua Feiwu’s expression sank.

He was extremely displeased with Li Yi for a long time. Even if he were to ignore the incident related to Old Green, he was not able to stand him based on the DPS ranking alone.

As the battle against the arrow towers came to an end, Li Yi’s DPS ranking was still at the top. Hua Feiwu’s ranking had immediately dropped to the fifth place as he had lost his Destruction Staff.

How could he feel content when a useless Archer, whose equipment was no better than his, delivered such a huge damage output?

Then, Li Yi started smirking. “Holy Pure Eh is my friend.”

When he fighting alone in his past life, he was never afraid of the Century Flower Guild and more so in this timeline.

Hua Feiwu spoke up. “Haha that’s great. Since you’re a friend of that kid, I’m not afraid of telling you in the face that I’m the one who snatched the Violent Ape King from them. I’ve killed all those idiotic Paladins when the boss’ HP was at its lowest point and obtained the first kill.”

“Are you avenging your friends? Fine. Come and kill me. As long as you have the capability, you can kill me any time.”

Li Yi continued smirking and did not say a single word this time around.

This was a habit of his. He did not like to speak up when the anger within him swelled up to its limit. Instead, he would think of countless ways to reduce and erase the anger within him.

Li Yi had been doubted and questioned by the others ever since the Instance Dungeon began. He was just a player, not a saint. After all, he was just trying to play a game. If he were to hate fighting against the strong, he would not have appeared here. He was just like Snickersnee, carrying the pickaxe on his band as they searched for the mineral veins high and low.

“It’s also my idea to invite you to this Instance Dungeon. Do you really think you have the qualification to enter this dungeon with your trash equipment?” Hua Feiwu continued mocking Li Yi.

It was only then Delicately Cute butted in. “Flower Guild Master. Dark Wing is a member of Dark Empire. I don’t think it is in your place to teach my subordinate a lesson, right?”

“Stop!” Li Yi glanced at Delicately Cute as he spoke. “Please. The reason I joined the Dark Empire was because of Chu Nan. Firstly, I am not your subordinate and secondly, none of you have the right to teach me a lesson.”

Delicately Cute and Hua Feiwu were stunned.

It was without a doubt that Li Yi had offended both of them after saying such words.

The situation was awkward as both parties did not know what to say.

Ultimately, Delicately Cute sighed. “Fine. Consider that I’ve been saying the wrong words. Will you forgive me?”

“I accept your apology.” Li Yi nodded in all seriousness.

Then, Old Green came running to them.

“Was your death because of him?” Hua Feiwu pointed at Li Yi.

“No.” Old Green answered without any hesitation.

“No?” Hua Feiwu glared at Old Green.

“No. I died because I didn’t kite the monsters properly.” Old Green’s attitude did not waver.

Hua Feiwu’s expression was calm yet frustrated as he heard Old Green’s response.

He had always been a despicable man and since he had offended Li Yi, it was only natural that he did not want him to stay any longer. He tried to take this opportunity to kick Li Yi out but he did not expect Old Green to not cooperate with him.

Hua Feiwu squinted as he spoke. “Dark Wing, I wish you’ll be responsible to kite the other monsters away from him when we’re fighting against Kruder.”

Li Yi raised his eyebrows and replied. “No problem!”

He knew that the opposite party was purposely making things difficult for him. However, he would not give in as long as the anger within him did not disappear!
