MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks Chapter 473 - Submission

“Human, put down the bow in your hand. I’m willing to submit to you…”

Onyxia shrieked in terror.

Li Yi lowered his bow slowly. Onyxia descended onto the ground and lied p.r.o.ne as a show of obedience and sincerity.

Did the Soul’s Oath Scroll work?

Or was it…

Li Yi maneuvered the Black-feathered Golden Eagle to land on the ground. Onyxia’s prideful head was dipped low, and she did not dare to even glance at him.

“Don’t kill me…”

“You’re willing to become my mount?”

Li Yi was quite curious.

If he had truly tamed her, he should have received a System Notification. It was impossible to receive no signs after that, but that was how it currently was.

“I’m willing. I’m truly willing, and I’ll swear that on the pride of the Black Dragons. I’ll obey your commands forever.”

Li Yi gave Onyxia a once over that was full of skepticism. He stepped forward and patted her head hard. The dragon remained unmoving like a kitten that was willing to be toyed around by him.

Li Yi then jumped on the dragon’s head and stayed for a while. The debuff that existed on Onyxia did not come into effect.

Was this her display of sincerity? However, there was no evidence to prove that this was indeed a true taming.

“Onyxia, do I need to give anything in exchange for your submission?”

The basic requirement for all mounts was that they should be able to be summoned at all times. However, it was obvious that the Onyxia before him could not do that.

“Give anything in exchange…”

Poof!

Onyxia has transformed into a human female Wizard in a whirl of black smoke.

“Do you need some special services?”

Onyxia approached Li Yi, arching her chest as if in offering. Li Yi was so taken aback that he had no idea whether he should laugh or not.

Who was the one that set the intelligence of the Black Dragon Princess? This was too lewd, no? The character actually knew how to seduce a player…

Li Yi pushed Onyxia to her back and laid on top of her. He said, “The basic thing that a mount should do is to be summoned whenever and wherever I want you to, yes?”

“Of course, whenever and wherever.” Onyxia nodded.

Li Yi opened his hands, “Then give me your Dragon Summon Emblem.”

Onyxia shook her head in confusion. This meant that she has no idea what Li Yi was talking about.

No matter if the target was a pet or a summoned mount, the player must have their corresponding ‘Emblem’ channeling bar for it to be successfully summoned. For instance, Li Yi’s Holy Light Warhorse has its own Holy Light Warhorse’s Emblem, and his Black-feathered Golden Eagle would also have its Black-feathered Golden Eagle’s Emblem. Special summon items like these will not take up any s.p.a.ces in the Backpack but will instead be kept in an unlimited yet mysterious s.p.a.ce. If the player wanted to use the item, the player could easily conjure a thought or shout out its name, and the item would automatically appear in the player’s hands.

Li Yi was quite frustrated. “If you do not have a Dragon Summon Emblem, how would your submission be valid?”

Yes, he could ride Onyxia now, but what would happen after he went offline? How could he reach her after that?

“Human, please don’t kill me. I won’t refuse any request of yours.”

Onyxia’s human guise looked so delicately pitiable that Li Yi found it difficult for him to press the issue.

Ssst thwip!

Just when Li Yi was having a headache over how he should handle this Onyxia situation, a spear-shaped white light flew over and accurately stabbed Onyxia at the back.

[-4158]

This was the skill of a Level 90 Weapon Warrior – Flying Dragon Strike!

Flying Dragon Strike, a skill exclusive to all Weapon Warriors. It provides an additional 3000 fixed damage value with a 40-yard shooting range. The target of the hit would suffer from a special 100% Slow effect that would last for 5 seconds. However, due to her ident.i.ty as a Boss, Onyxia is immune to all negative statuses and thus was unaffected by the Slow effect.

“Human, no, no… I don’t want to die.”

Onyxia stared at Li Yi in horror. She thought Li Yi was attacking.

Thump thump thump thump!

An Orc Weapon Warrior donned in heavy armor ran towards them in quick strides. In his hands were two weapons, namely a sword and a hammer. His running speed was extremely quick.

That Flying Dragon Strike came from him.

“Ghost Crab!”

Li Yi raised his hand, and the Ghost Crab appeared below his feet. Then, he immediately stood before Onyxia to s.h.i.+eld her from the Orc.

“Charge!”

That Weapon Warrior has finally reached the 30-yard charge radius. He instantly launched an attack at Onyxia.

Wham!

A shadow flew towards them but was blocked halfway by Li Yi.

Li Yi was Disoriented. However, before the Weapon Warrior could attack him, an earth spike suddenly erupted from the ground to hurl the Weapon Warrior in the air.

Earth Hurling Trap!

Before Li Yi has stood in front to block the Charge, he has laid down an Earth Hurling Trap by his feet. When the Weapon Warrior rushed forward, the trap was successfully activated.

“Dark Devour!”

A puff of black aura circled Li Yi’s body. All negative statuses on him were dispelled.

“Crippling Shot! Meteor Arrow! Meteor Arrow!”

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

Li Yi raised his bow to shoot three consecutive arrows to the sky. The Weapon Warrior was still falling in midair and thus could do nothing but take the damage from these arrows.

“s.h.i.+eld Wall!”

A s.h.i.+eld appeared on the surface of the Weapon Warrior’s body. In the next 12 seconds, all damage taken by the Weapon Warrior would decrease by 50%.

Li Yi’s arrows had hit their target accurately. The display of cracking armor was shown continuously on the Weapon Warrior’s body. By the time of his eventual landing, only half of the equipment of his body remained.

Snap!

The Weapon Warrior was seconds away from landing when the Ghost Crab on the ground stretched its gigantic pincer to clamp tightly on him.

“Killing Grip!”

“Crippling Shot! Elimination Arrow!”

Screeeeech ssst!

The Ghost Crab’s Killing Grip has a much stronger effect than the Earth Hurling Trap. Once it has successfully gripped onto the target, it could prevent the target from using any skills regardless if it was special or not. Death Grip will never be suspended unless someone were to interrupt it from the side.

Although it lasted for a mere three seconds, it was still plenty of time for Li Yi.

“Repelling Arrow Skill!”

Thwip!

Li Yi activated the Rocket Propellant and darted to Ghost Crab’s side to quickly set up an Explosion Trap.

Slam! Boom!

The Weapon Warrior landed and was subsequently hit by the Repelling Arrow Skill. When he staggered backward, he stepped right onto the Explosion Trap.

[-110134]

A terrifying damage value on top of the Weapon Warrior’s head, who was thrown in the air from the sheer force of the explosion. Li Yi’s 19 combo has managed to kill him in one go…

Onyxia stared at the scene in shock. She did not have low intelligence and had seen clearly that Li Yi had saved her by blocking the Charge for her.

Li Yi’s anger refused to subside even though he was already staring at the body of the Weapon Warrior. With his bow in tow, he approached the body to see what he looked like.

If it was not for his quick reflexes, Onyxia would have been killed already. The timing of the attack was despicable.

This Weapon Warrior has chosen to play the character of an Orc. However, the King of Pantheons have always placed emphasis on modular realism, the true looks of a player could still be discerned from the Orc’s face.

Li Yi had recognized the player the moment he laid eyes on him.

The guy’s name was Chiefless Beasts. He was not much of a top-tier player, but he was still quite famous. He was most skilled in ambus.h.i.+ng others when they least expected it.

In his previous life, Li Yi had suffered multiple ambushes from this person when he was on the run. However, none of the ambushes was successful. Even though Li Yi was not among the ranks of a top-tier player in his past life, killing Chiefless Beasts was still an easy feat.

The bunch of random players that Li Yi came across before were his subordinates. Chiefless Beasts has no great abilities, but he never allied himself with any of the factions around. Neither the Iron Alliance nor the Three Major Guild Alliance have any relations with him.

“Dark Wing, I’ve committed your name to my memory. Remember mine, Chiefless Beasts, and wait for my revenge!”

Chiefless Beasts continued to act smugly even though he was currently lying on the ground.

“Are you threatening me?”

“Heh, others may fear you, but I won’t. You’ll know me soon enough.” Chiefless Beasts sounded extremely confident.

Li YI knew exactly why he was so confident. Yes, Chiefless Beasts was not exactly qualified to be on the center stage, but he has a very powerful brother who had been champion of the Blade Peak’s Arena for three consecutive years. Chiefless Beasts was probably counting on him.

“I don’t mind playing around with you, but I don’t mind issuing a kill order in the game either.”

Li Yi laughed as he snapped a photo of Chiefless Beasts. Then, he sent the photo through the Channel exclusive to Iron Alliance.

Li Yi was already very p.i.s.sed when Chiefless Beasts’ subordinates acted like troublemakers before this. This attack was even more critical, and if he reacted slightly slower, Onyxia would have definitely died.

If Chiefless Beasts dared to make a declaration like that, how could Li Yi not take a stand here?

Li Yi issued the kill order and did not remain to camp Chiefless Beasts’ corpse. Not that he was afraid in any way, but he did have Onyxia with him. He could not care less whether Chiefless Beasts resurrect himself or not, but if his brother were to come now, Li Yi would have quite a headache to handle.

“Onyxia, follow me!”

Li Yi summoned the Holy Light Warhorse and waved at Onyxia.

Onyxia hesitated slightly before giving her hand to Li Yi.

With a human and a monster on its back, the Holy Light Warhorse galloped away…

Chiefless Beasts clambered up from the ground. Just when he wanted to curse, an arrow flew towards him in a spiral to hit him right on his head.

[-22643]

Critical Hit!

Chiefless Beasts collapsed to the ground again.

Li Yi’s Orange Bow has an additional 60-yard shooting range. Adding that to the skill effects that he has, he could effectively shoot at a target even when he was more than 100 yards away. Chiefless Beasts thought he was safe when he saw Li Yi’s departure. Indeed, Li Yi had left, but he still shot an arrow when he turned and notice that Chiefless Beasts was already standing up.

“You better remember this!”

Chiefless Beasts bellowed.

“Where is he? Where is he?”

“Coordinates 21334544:1244442!”

“I saw him. He’s dead here, everyone come quick!”

A group of Iron Alliance players appeared soon after Chiefless Beasts fell on the ground. They managed to locate his body quickly.

Li Yi has issued the kill order with a set of coordinates that recorded Chiefless Beasts’ location.

“Let’s camp him, let’s camp him!”

“F*ck, this idiot c*nt dared to kill steal our leader. It’s almost like we’re going against his will if we did not camp around him.”

The group of Iron Alliance members leered and cursed at Chiefless Beasts’ body. They formed a circle to surround him.

Li Yi led Onyxia and galloped towards a remote cave in the West. Once he made sure that he was not followed here, Li Yi ordered Onyxia to stay and wait while he Teleported himself to Blade Peak.

Judging from Onyxia’s behavior, she had indeed submitted to him. However, the current problem was that her ident.i.ty still remained as a monster but not Li Yi’s mount. Li Yi was rendered speechless by this, and he could only think of a person after contemplating this issue for a long time.

Augustus, the Camp Hero of the Invincible Continent that has managed to tame the Red Dragon Queen as his mount!
