MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks Chapter 423 - Dragon-butchering Compendium

Li Yi took out Cardiac Pacemaker Model V5 to use on Nirvana Inaction. As it sputtered out black smoke, the resurrection was a failure.

“Run your corpse and come back into the dungeon. Remember not to push through to the final boss. Stop when you’re done clearing the monsterlings, they’ll soon resp.a.w.n again.”

Li Yi walked out of the dungeon after leaving instructions. In order to resist against Deathwing’s dragon breath, the first factor to focus on was high Fire Resistance, the second was having a high level and the third was the position. Not a single one of these three conditions could be omitted.

Li Yi was at Level 100, the same level as Deathwing. Hence, its ATK was not enough to crush him. His pair of high Fire Resistance Flame Dragon Sabatons cut the flame damage by half and adding that with Violent Bear’s Protection and positioning, he was able to reduce the damage to a minimum.

As long as one was able to survive the Dragon’s Breath, they could still advance in the dungeon. Black Dragon Legion was reset once every two weeks so even if the final boss did not die, the monsterlings would still resp.a.w.n in an endless cycle.

The dungeon was recognized as Hero mode as the monsterlings were all Elites. Hence, leveling up here was considerably speedy.

Li Yi quit the party while Flower Underpants started to order his team members leave this dungeon and join other parties.

Li Yi was not needed for what was to come as the dungeon could be duplicated unlimitedly. They only needed to save this dungeon’s progress and have those with saved progress join another party and become party leaders. The party leader could then load the progress and have others advance from there. This was how the dungeon’s progress could be spread to others unlimitedly.

Li Yi had also imparted the knowledge about clearing monsters in the dungeon to Flower Underpants and the rest. There was no need for him to stay here any longer.

Over thirty thousand men entered Black Dragon Legion in parties and the atmosphere around Black Spire’s Upper Deck soon quieted down.

Deathwing’s one-minute long breath was fearsome enough to scare any players from attempting Black Dragon Legion. It was death upon entry. With corpses pilling up high, anyone would be left with psychological scars.

Li Yi summoned Black-feathered Golden Eagle and slowly took flight to the upper level of Black Spire. His target — Black Dragon’s lair!

Black Dragon Princess’ incarnation has always remained in Shattered Frost City, so why the sudden return? Li Yi was curious about this and with a layer of Level Cap protection on him, he would not lose any EXP from dying. Therefore, he could afford to chance the Black Dragon sibling duo alone.

Li Yi unequipped all his good equipment and changed into a body of gold-colored equipment. This time, he really had nothing to be afraid of.

In the lower deck of the Black Spire, hot lava was rumbling and tumbling. Two Black Dragons lay crouching on the ground on the left and right. They seemed to be engaged in conversation.

Li Yi leaped down from his Black-feathered Golden Eagle and somersaulted to the ground before turning into Lightning Leopard to enter Stealth mode.

Li Yi crept near, in an attempt to eavesdrop on the conversation between these siblings.

“Roar…”

“Roar roar…”

“Roar…”

“Hiss…”

F*ck!

Li Yi listened in and could not help but curse under his breath. These two were talking in Dragonspeak, a language he has not learned.

Black Dragon Princess and Ferrian were howling and roaring at one another, leaving Li Yi feeling dejected. He did not understand a word out of them and has no idea what they were talking about.

In the world of King of Pantheon, the Black Dragon race was most cunning. Whether it was Deathwing or a young drake, all of them were the biggest villain. They were more p.r.o.ne to causing chaos and destruction. In the game, when players reached a certain level, the Black Dragons would begin to launch attacks on a city. This phenomenon was called Besieging Monsters.

Eavesdropping on the Black Dragons leaders to learn the name of the city they were going to attack in advance could give players a head start in prevention. This would also produce a hidden effect where the Black Dragon’s schemes would be discovered and their combat effectiveness would be reduced by half.

In his past life, many players would squat beneath the Black Spire to gather intel from the Black Dragon race but of course, the prerequisite was proficiency in Dragonspeak, which Li Yi currently did not possess…

A wasted trip.

Li Yi could do nothing but stare at the Black Dragon sibling duo, contemplating to kite them to a city and defeat them once and for all.

Pft!

Just as Li Yi was about to give up on eavesdropping and head back, Black Dragon Princess with a c.o.c.ks...o...b..shaped head suddenly wobbled her body and transformed into human form as the female Wizard, Katrana.

Black Dragon Princess held up a corner of its garment and gave a twirl, “Brother, isn’t my human form beautiful?”

Pft!

Ferrian too, transformed into a middle-aged man. Short, subdued, fat, dumb, and looking quite comical. The name on top of its head was reflected as the Swordsman, Allean.

“Of course my sister’s beautiful but you must remember once we’re in human form, our powers will be weakened. It’ll be dangerous if we’re attacked.”

Li Yi clenched his crossbow without moving an inch.

“But we can just transform back,” replied Black Dragon Princess.

Ferrian was momentarily stunned before bursting into laughter, “Hahaha, of course. We can transform at will, becoming a human or dragon whenever we want.”

Black Dragons were cunning and from the sound of this sibling duo, it seemed to happen quite often. If players were to attack them without a plan, they would end up…

Black Dragon Princess sighed, “Shattered Frost City Castellan Dark Wing, who’s also the Military Advisor seems intimate with Queen Invincible Jiaojiao. It’s a shame he’s been giving me the cold shoulder.”

Li Yi was taken by surprise at the mention of his name by Black Dragon Princess.

The monsters in this game seemed to have too high of an IQ…

Ferrian nodded, “If we could use him for our plan, we can eliminate the need for an army ambush.”

With the earlier Black Dragon King Ferrian killed, this current Ferrian bore no grudge against Li Yi.

Could their target be Shattered Frost City?

“Roar—”

Black Dragon Princess turned into a giant dragon and spread its wings to fly away.

Whether in human or dragon form, Black Dragon Princess had an attractive appearance. Li Yi recalled that in the forums in his past life, many players had commented that their biggest dream in playing King of Pantheon was to ride on Black Dragon Princess.

“The era of Black Dragons is nigh. Mortals, tremble in fear, hahahahahaha…”

Ferrian looked up to the sky and laughed out loud before transforming into a giant dragon and flying away.

Now the Black Dragon sibling duo had taken off.

Li Yi crept to the spot where the Black Dragons were crouching in Stealth and found a gold-colored treasure chest behind an area of lava.

Giant dragons were always collecting wealth so their lairs would usually be filled with treasure chests.

Li Yi utilized a Universal Key.

Ding!

The gold-colored treasure chest was opened.

[You’ve looted a dilapidated Dragon-butchering Compendium.]

With that, the treasure chest was empty…

…

Dragon-butchering Compendium!

Li Yi’s face stiffened.

This was a fairly good item that could unlock a series of Epic-cla.s.s quests. If these quests were completed, a JP Epic-level sword second to a Legendary-level weapon would come out the end of it.

“No one can stop when luck’s coming your way.”

Li Yi was caught in the moment. He waved his arm and initiated a Military Advisor’s special skill, Teleport.

The next second, Li Yi appeared in the Castellan’s residence in Shattered Frost City.

His current posting was a Military Advisor c.u.m Castellan. The month period to transfer Kings.h.i.+p was long over. Jiaojiao had been nagging in his ear about transferring the Kings.h.i.+p but he was not up for it because he really did not want to be King.

Therefore, he offered it to JIaojiao. He really was not the least bit interested in becoming the ruler of a continent.

Li Yi sought Archiemonde to issue an order, “The Black Dragon race is stirring trouble. Inform the people to opt stricter precautionary measures.

“Yes, my lord!”

Archiemonde rushed to make preparations.

Although the Black Dragon sibling duo did not reveal the city they were plotting against, preparedness would not hurt. Moreover, Li Yi was not afraid of any punishment.

Any players who gathered intel on the Black Dragon race could inform the guards of Castellan (limited to only NPCs). Once the intel was proven true, the player would receive a hefty reward but of course, if the intel was fake, a punishment of being locked in a black room for seven days would ensue.

Li Yi has an official post so n.o.body would dare lay their hands on him. Even if one did, one word from Clan Master Jiao would set him free…

He then used Teleport to arrive at the Auction House.

The final reward from completing the Dragon-butchering Compendium was a close-range DPS Epic-level sword with high damage. It was quite a good sword but no friend of Li Yi’s could equip this sword so he decided to test the market on the price.

He was not going to be cheap and placed a bid of 500,000 on it.

This price was not cutthroat compared to the past life because at the later stage of the game, this Epic-Level sword of the Dragon-butchering Compendium will still be useful.

He browsed around the Auction House and found that apart from piles and piles of materials, the equipment displayed all fell short of expectation.

This was a result from leading the level by a large margin.

He teleported once again to Equipment Reinforcement Master Kelly but realized that Black Dragon Princess Onyxia has yet to return.

Kelly went up to offer her greetings but a flock of players quickly swarmed around him.

Li Yi, as the No.1 celebrity of Invincible Continent was more eye-catching than Queen Jiaojiao. Countless players have sought wisdom from him daily so much so that he turned off his private chat. This group of people would shout in the regional channel so no matter where he went, the regional channel would be spammed with “Dark Wing’s at x.x.x…”

King of Pantheon was not just any regular game. After a year and half long in session, it has caught the attention of many businesses. There were major companies who joined the venture, not because of the game’s enjoyment but rather its popularity.

In this era of viral information, fame was equivalent to money.

Li Yi could handle one or two enthusiastic players but anything more would be too much to bear. However, Li Yi was used to this treatment. The moment he saw the players flocking over, he immediately flashed a smile but his thoughts were elsewhere.

“Guild Master Dark Wing, I heard that the weapons you enhanced are incredible. Can you help me enhance my weapon? Just to +13 is enough.”

“Guild Master Dark Wing, I saw your 21 Arrows video but I can’t create the combo no matter what. Can you teach me?”

“Brother Dark Wing, you need any special service? No money required and satisfaction guaranteed. This is my number 13…”

Chaos. Just total chaos.

Li Yi smiled at them but his thoughts were far away. Whatever they said, never reached his ears.

Li Yi stood by Kelly and was tormented for half an hour by bystanders before he saw Black Dragon Princess’ incarnation. Female Wizard, Katrana was coming in from outside the city.

“Lord Military Advisor, Katrana at your service.”

Li Yi walked to Black Dragon Princess and pulled her up with a smile, “I agree to the matter you brought up before.”

Ding!
