MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks Chapter 422

Chapter 422 - Deathwing

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Level 80 map, Black Rock Mountain was a fairly important map on Invincible Continent. It was not to say that this was the best place to level up but rather, this was the place for great equipment drops.

The most powerful level 80-90 Epic-level equipment were from this map.

Black Rock Mountain was surrounded with Black Squamous Whelps, Elite Draconians and even Chief-level Black Squamous Drakes with their own names. Their ATKs could be really powerful that even players of the same level would not be able to withstand a single breath.

Both whelps and drakes were Ancient-level creatures. Hence, they were naturally stronger than regular monsters. Relatively speaking, killing them would land players high EXP.

The entire coal-black mountain peak emitted black smoke all year round. This was because it was situated above a mountain range of volcanoes. Black Dragon King Ferrian’s lair was situated under this volcanic mountain range.

There were plenty of monsters just outside of Black Rock Mountain. There was also an open-concept 200-man group dungeon called Black Dragon Legion on the Black Spire’s Top Deck where Ferrian resided. In there, players would have to face an army of mutated black dragons created by Ferrian’s own hands.

The over thirty thousand men of Iron Alliance marched in mighty contingents into Black Rock Mountain. With members of various guilds all accounted for, they moved with great drive.

Underneath Black Rock Mountain, several hundred idle players who were busy leveling up abandoned the venue upon the appearance of the Iron Alliance troops.

“Dark Wing, are we leveling up on the outside or heading to Black Dragon Legion dungeon?” Flower Underpants asked.

“We’re heading to Black Dragon Legion dungeon.”

Li Yi left the party arrangement to the Guild Masters.

Black Dragon Legion dungeon was an open-dungeon that did not have level restrictions. Anyone could enter the dungeon but because the progression of this dungeon was a pain in the neck, no player has ever cleared this particular dungeon.

“We’ll handle the party distribution,” All Guild Masters nodded.

With everyone ready to go, it was now up to Li Yi to give the order.

“I have a question!”

A chick raised her hand to speak and walked out of line. Li Yi took a look and realized that he knew her.

This chick was no other than Flower Underpants’ sister and Li Yi’s teacher, Zhang Yan. Her IGN was Girl without Underwear.

Flower Underpants yelled furiously, “Lil Yan, what shit are you stirring?”

Zhang Yan glared at Flower Underpants, “Mind your own business. I’m a great Warrior of Dream Guild. Why is it that I can’t go when you can?”

“Your level’s too low at 50. What help can you offer from going?” Flower Underpants pulled his sister over.

“I’m asking you, what are you going to be doing there?”

“Level up.”

“My level’s low, so what do you say I’m going to do then?”

“Level up… Pah! It’s two different things!” Flower Underpants felt a fire up his butt.

“Hahaha…” Li Yi was amused. He did not think that the serious Teacher Zhang at class had such an adorable side to her.

“Brother Flower, it’s fine. It’s a 200-man Group Dungeon so there’s no harm to add one more. Let your sister come.”

Zhang Yan placed her hands on her hips, “Li Yi, others may not know you but I do. You’re my student. Humph humph humph, don’t think for a second that I can’t tell.”

Li Yi smiled and led the way.

“What teacher? What student? I only know he’s called Dark Wing, the actual leader of Iron Alliance. You may tag along but you have to take orders, not just mine but his as well.”

“What?? I have to listen to my student?” Zhang Yang looked at her brother with surprise.

“You’re not gonna listen? Then I’ll have to kick you out of the guild,” Flower Underpants went straight to the point.

“Fine. Okay, okay, Zhang Big Foot, now I know your true colors,” Zhang Yan stomped her foot in anger. The way she acted in the game was a complete 180 degrees of how she was in reality.

“Zhang Big Foot? So Guild Master has another nickname?”

Hahahaha…

The crowded burst into laughter while Flower Underpants made a long face.

The battalion pushed ahead while the Guild Masters assigned 199 in each party, proportioning in classes and equipment. The arrangement was as such so they would not end up in complete chaos in the dungeon.

Black Dragon Legion was a 200-man Group Dungeon. The 199 men in a party were set by Li Yi. The intention of having a person less than the maximum in each party would come in handy later.

As the mass advanced deeper, a grand Black Spire appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Li Yi paid attention to the meandering stairway as he led the way. Black Dragon King Ferrian was deep in slumber underneath this Black Spire. If it was startled, a fierce battle was unavoidable. It was not hard to take it down but they would suffer a great loss.

It would be not worth putting over thirty thousand men in trouble for the sake of a few equipment.

“Stop, get down!”

Li Yi raised his hand out of the blue and crouched down to the ground.

The thirty thousand men behind him stopped in their tracks, whispering ear to ear as they did not know what was going on.

“Roar roar roar—”

A dragon’s roar could be heard from above their heads. A giant black dragon with a cockscomb-shaped head descended from the sky and swept past right under their noses and headed for the lower deck.

“Black Dragon Princess- Onyxia!” someone exclaimed.

Li Yi cried, “Don’t move. Black Dragon Princess’ vision can see way past 500 yards. If she sees us, don’t even bother thinking about leveling up today.”

Over thirty thousand men quieted down. Zhang Yang squatted behind Li Yi. She did not want to listen to her student’s orders yet she was a critical situation, making her reluctant in making a decision…

Li Yi turned over to glance at Zhang Yan and saw that she had a troubled look on her face.

Seeing Li Yi flashing her a smile, Zhang Yan felt reassured. She thought that this student of hers would feel sorry for his teacher struggling with a dilemma.

Who knew Li Yi would extend his arm and drag Zhang Yan to crouch down further?

“You’re a little too high. Best be careful.”

“Grrrrrr…” Zhang Yang gritted her teeth as she lay on the ground but this was not the time nor the place to unleash her fury. If Black Dragon Princess was disturbed, she would be held responsible for the fate of thirty thousand men.

Not long ago, Flower Underpants brought a party to clear Giant Metal Scorpion, a Level 70 boss. Zhang Yan let out a scream due to her bug phobia, stirring up the monsters around and leading to a TPK. This even left a psychological scar within her.

‘ I am Qiu Shaoyun… 1 ‘

These were Zhang Yan’s thoughts.

A moment later, Black Dragon Princess flew out of sight, prompting Li Yi to let out a sigh of relief. He got up to signal the battalion to move ahead.

“Teacher Zhang, you can stop lying down now. It’s quite tiring.”

“Grr…” Zhang Yan almost blew her top.

“And you can’t even pull me up? What did I teach you back in school…” Zhang Yan swallowed her words. She suddenly recalled the multiple attempts she made to put Li Yi back in school.

They moved forward for about 20 minutes when they arrived before the entrance of Black Dragon Legion dungeon.

Black Rock Mountain map was huge, so was Black Spire. It has the capacity to host thousands of players here.

“Team 1, follow me in. The rest, please wait.”

Li Yi waved behind him and took the lead to enter the dungeon.

System Notification: [You’ve entered 200-man Black Dragon Legion Group Dungeon.]

“Roar— Roar— Roar—”

The moment they entered the dungeon, they could hear three thundering dragon roars coming from afar. It was more ear-drum shattering than Black Dragon Princess Onyxia. The walls shook at the sound of these roars.

The scenery was still at the Black Spire. They saw a round empty area in front of them while countless giant black dragons flew past their heads. Surrounding them were groups of Elite-level whelps and drakes.

Li Yi shouted in the party, “Those who aren’t in the dungeon yet, please hurry up or it’ll be too late.”

Zhang Yan asked, “Li Yi, what are we doing?”

Li Yi rolled his eyes at her. “Stay put.”

“Roar— Roar— Roar—”

Another round of terrifying dragon roars rang in their ears. A ten-second countdown appeared on top of their heads.

“Here it comes, here it comes. That thing’s coming,” Flower Underpants became a nervous wreck. He has brought a party to this dungeon before and was wiped out completely so many times that — as Zhang Yan would put it, left him with a psychological scar.

Before the 10-second countdown was over, the party of 200, including Li Yi entered the dungeon.

10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1!

“Roar—”

Following that loud roar, a giant dragon head in burning flames stuck out from afar, causing Zhang Yan to scream her head off and flee.

This thing was ghastly and huge. It was only a head but it extended a hundred meters over with fangs as huge as an adult body. The top of the head was burning in flames and had some liquid, possibly blood dripping from the head. It was a nasty scene.

Flower Underpants stuck his foot out to trip Zhang Yan over, causing her to stumble to the ground.

She was in a game after all so the pain she felt was a fake. This was better than her leaving the dungeon.

“Grr…” Zhang Yan gnashed her teeth so hard it could be heard through the dragon’s howling.

This was Black Dragon King Ferrian’s old man, the former Black Dragon King Deathwing!

Deathwing’s head was much larger than the Black Dragon sibling duo’s. This thing could be easily encountered in the wild yet it has skills that could rival a God. Taking it down posed a higher difficulty level than the Black Dragon sibling duo and not to mention, its horrendous drop rate. Hence, very few players had the guts to provoke it.

At this very moment, Deathwing was bellowing, spewing Dragon’s Breath onto the entire party.

[-7564]

[-5654]

[-4112]

[-9786]

Those with high Fire Resistance suffered less damage but those with low Fire Resistance were instantly killed. Dragon’s Breath has considerable damage, constantly reducing HP until the party members collapsed one by one…

Ding ding ding!

A crisp tune rang, again and again, indicating equipment dropping yet Deathwing’s breath was still raging.

The period of this gruesome breath was so protracted that not even those classes proficient in Invincibility could endure. Deathwing’s breath ignored all beneficial effects. Similar to Evil Piercing Arrow’s special effect, Shield, Invincibility, Compound, Fuse were all useless.

With party members crashing down one after another, a whole group of them died in a blink of an eye…

The hardest bit about Black Dragon Legion was not the monsters inside but the persistent Dragon’s Breath they had to face upon entry.

The minute-long breath could take down even those blessed with a hundred thousand HP. If there were no survivors left in the party until the end of the breath, they had to re-enter the dungeon and the Dragon’s Breath would repeat until the cycle was broken…

“Roar—”

One minute later, Deathwing retracted its head in satisfaction and flew away.

All 199 members of the party were dead, except for one man standing.

And that person, without a doubt, was Li Yi!
