MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks Chapter 147

Chapter 147 - Pissed Off

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Evil God’s Notebook recorded the beginning and the end of the fall of the Evil God. As it turned out, from the very beginning, this Great Evil God was originally a War God of Light on Mount Pantheon. However, due to the gods around him constantly dying, he roused the suspicions of the Highest Gods. In the end, after being sentenced to imprisonment for ten thousand years, he was stripped of his position as a God and banished to the mortal realm.

After the Evil God was cast out, he single-handedly founded the Cursing Sect. His goal was to create an eternally undying country. Unfortunately, just as the Evil God’s schemes were put into action, he was immediately stopped by a messenger sent by the Highest Gods, sending him into an alternate dimensional plane to suffer. The Evil God had never returned since.

Unfortunately, the seeds of the Cursing Sect had already been planted and the gods on Mount Pantheon did not care to interfere with the issues of the mortal realm. They did not bother in taking action against the Cursing Sect, instead leaving them to slowly die off on their own.

Although the Evil God was imprisoned in an alternate dimensional plane with no hopes of escape, he could still communicate with his loyal believers and grant them power, allowing them to strengthen the Cursing Sect. Then, using the power of their faith, they might be able to rescue the Evil God from his prison.

Those were the contents written in the Evil God’s Notebook. Of course, there was still much more text at the end, but those were just added in later by extremist believers. As compared to the true writings of the Evil God, the lack of authenticity was laughably blatant.

To any player who had finished reading the Evil God’s Notebook, the system would automatically give them the continuation quest [Investigate the Cursed Secret Place].

[Quest Description: Near the Evil God Altar that Margaret and Maseru were guarding, there is a secret passage leading to the Cursed Secret Place. Head there to search for new clues.

Note: In order to open the secret passage, you must remain unnoticed by Margaret and Maseru.]

[Quest Completion Rewards: 50000 EXP, 2000 points Reputation Value with the Cursing Sect, one Cursed Leggings (Green Equipment Set).]

“Why have you stopped?” Little Elf from the Magical Realm asked.

“Cursing Sect quest, I need to head to the Cursed Secret Place.”

“Then let’s go, I don’t have anything better to do now anyway.”

“How strange.” Li Yi shot Little Elf from the Magical Realm a few glances before shaking his head and continued forward.

“What’s strange?” Little Elf from the Magical Realm caught up to him.

“It’s nothing…”

Little Elf from the Magical Realm’s heart sank.

She hated people who talked about things halfway the most. She glared daggers at Li Yi.

“I was just wondering, don’t you have a kid? How do you still manage to log in so many hours in-game? Who’s looking after the kid?”

“We have a nanny at home. Hmm hmm.” Little Elf from the Magical Realm rolled her eyes at him.

Li Yi sweated in embarrassment.

The two continued to move. In an hour, they arrived safely at the Cursed Altar.

The Cursed Altar was under attack. A party with over two hundred players had surrounded the black and white bosses and were fighting all-out. Numerous players continuously fell, but they were continuously revived. This went on repeatedly, it looked like quite an intense battle.

“Don’t head over yet.”

Li Yi pulled Little Elf from the Magical Realm back and hid in an inconspicuous corner.

To think that there were people fighting the black and white bosses, that was not even a possibility that crossed Li Yi’s mind when he came here.

However, it was obvious that this group had no clue about how to fight this boss. It did not matter if you were in a raiding party or not, as long as any player was near the black and white bosses, for every additional player, either dead or alive, the bosses’ HP and ATK cap would automatically increase by 500,000 points. With more than two hundred party members, what absurd level of HP and ATK would the bosses even have?

The white boss Margaret mumbled a slew of chants, instantly summoning more than 500 yellow-robed monsterlings onto the field. The yellow-robed monsterlings’ bodies glowed brightly as soon as they were summoned. They would latch themselves onto the nearest player and self-destruct. In addition to that, they could even start a chain reaction. One explosion after the other, they would not stop until you were killed.

The black boss Maseru waved his hand and the Trinity curse spells burst out with full power, causing the players who just got revived less than a second ago to drop dead once more.

‘Is it even possible to fight like this? This is just a suicide mission!’

Looking at this party offering their lives up to the bosses on a silver platter, Li Yi concluded.

‘At this rate, they would probably give up.’

Li Yi said, “Let’s wait a bit longer, they should retreat soon enough.”

“Then I’ll head off first to make dinner.” Little Elf from the Magical Realm logged off.

Li Yi continued hiding in his spot, amused, watching the newbie party trying to beat the black and white bosses.

‘What complete noobs, when it comes to the black and white bosses, the fewer people the better. With this number of party members, how could they even hope to succeed?”

Margaret once again started chanting. Instantly, 500 more yellow-robed monsterlings appeared once more, latching on to players and self-destructing…

Out of the two hundred plus people, none were left standing. All of them lay flat on the ground, not a single one attempted to revive themselves.

“The power that the Evil God blessed us with, it is not something you people can match!”

The black and white bosses locked hands and walked towards the altar, once again kneeling in front of the Evil God Statue, earnestly praying.

After a while, the two hundred people started reviving one after another, stealthily retreating from the black and white bosses’ sight. They gathered in a corner and started discussing the strategy to best tackle these bosses.

“There’s no way. The more we fight, the more their HP increases, how can anyone beat them?”

“Yeah, once the yellow-robed monsterlings come out, the aggro turns into a mess. There’s no way our tanks can pull all their aggro. Once you get latched on to, you’ll definitely die within two booms.”

These people sat on the ground and discussed for a long time, but they still did not manage to deduce the correct method of tackling these bosses.

“I noticed that the bosses’ HP cap was constantly changing, did you guys see it? The two bosses’ total HP increased to 1,000,000 points, then suddenly dropped down to 500,000 points right after.”

“Could it be that it has something to do with the number of players?”

After the group had discussed for dozens of minutes, they finally got to the root of the problem.

“Everyone else fall back, Out of Print, you tank the black boss, I’ll tank the white boss…”

Most of the group fell back, leaving only eight people. They seemed to be the most elite out of this party.

Li Yi drank a bottle of Secondary Invisibility Potion and walked forward by ten meters, finally getting a better look at some of the faces of the party members.

It turned out that they were people from the War God Clan.

In the later stages of King of Pantheon, the Eastern Continent had a famous guild alliance led by three major guilds. Countless small guilds were absorbed, forming the most influential force known as the Eastern Continent’s First. The three major guilds were Star Fire, War God Clan, and Tyrannic Dynasty.

At this point other than Tyrannic Dynasty which had not officially joined the game, the other two guilds’ development was quite decent, especially Star Fire guild whose numbers grew day-by-day. Currently, they were already the largest guild by member count within the Eastern Continent.

In contrast to Star Fire guild, the War God Clan was a lot more low-key. You would not see them getting any first boss kills or any other similar achievements, but they had always been steadily following the footsteps of the frontliners, steadily and safely growing.

“Never the first, but forever the second.” That was the War God Clan guild’s development policy.

The whole reason Li Yi did not consider them was precisely that. To think that the War God Clan would be fighting the black and white bosses at such costs. If this event were to happen in his past life, there would not be anyone who would believe it.

‘Strange!’

Li Yi could not wrap his head around it.

Out of the eight people that the War God Clan left to fight the boss, there was one person he was quite familiar with.

The Earth Vagabond, Out of Print.

He was the one who single-handedly changed the opinion of players towards the usage of the Earth Vagabond class as a main tank. He was definitely one of the top influential persons in Li Yi’s past life. If it were not for the preconceived bias against the Earth Vagabond class, he would easily have had a spot amongst the top ten greatest main tanks.

Originally, Li Yi wanted to recruit Out of Print, but after some deliberation, he decided against it.

The War God Clan guild leader and Out of Print’s relationship were similar to that of Star Fire guild’s Yang Xingchen and I Love Beast Beast. They had a decades-old friendship, so even if he admired this guy’s talent, he had no choice but to give up their bond.

At this time, the War God Clan guild leader, a human Holy Shield Paladin called Nameless War God, clapped his hands and stood up. “Ready your Curse Scrolls. Alright, begin!”

Eight of them charged forward, Li Yi suddenly jolted up.

‘Curse Scroll? What do they plan on doing with Curse Scrolls?

‘Did my strategy of using Curse Scrolls to fight the boss leak out?’

Li Yi could remember clearly, using the Curse Scrolls that dropped from the black and white bosses to fight bosses was something that people only found out one year later into the game. In other words, at this point, he was the only one who knew about this technique.

Every time the black and white bosses respawned, Li Yi would always come over to kill them off whenever he could. He would even venture to guarantee that, up till this point, he was the only person bringing a party to kill the black and white bosses. Other than him, there should not be anyone who would be able to take on the black and white bosses.

‘This is too strange, who leaked this info out? The Wutong Sisters? Fire Ice? Impossible…’

The battle between the War God Clan and the black and white bosses raged once more. Out of Print and Nameless War God aggroed one boss each, splitting them apart from each other.

With only eight people fighting the boss, the pressure fell exponentially, but the black and white bosses’ Berserk Mode was still extremely terrifying. It was still manageable at the beginning, but once their HP dwindled down to around 500,000 points, their Berserk Mode attacks would begin.

Margaret chanted non-stop, summoning countless monsterlings, whilst Maseru waved his hand, using the Trinity AoE Curse Spell. Even when Li Yi first brought his party to fight them, this kind of never-ending attacks that did not allow the players to even catch a break completely wiping out their party, let alone these bunch of players at their current level…

“Bam bam bam bam…”

With a combination of the yellow-robed monsterlings and the Trinity Curse Spells, they caused a consecutive chain of explosions, causing all eight players to drop to the ground.

“This is impossible to beat, these bastards are way too overpowered.” Out of Print sounded quite frustrated.

Once the black and white bosses once again returned to the Evil God Altar, the eight of them revived and retreated.

“Our strategy is still wrong.” Nameless War God was deep in thought.

“Maybe we need to reduce our numbers even more? But if we do that, there’s no way we could have enough attacking power.”

After Nameless War God deliberated for a long time, he finally nodded, “Looks like these bosses isn’t something we can beat.”

“We’re giving up? The losses this time would be huge.” Out of Print sighed.

“What else can we do? Unless we can somehow get our hands on the recordings of Dark Wing defeating the black and white bosses… Forget it, dismissed.”

Out of Print went thoughtfully silent for a moment, before saying, “I partied with Dark Wing before. If I ask him, do you think he’ll tell me the strategy?”

“Definitely not,” answered Nameless War God and Out of Print in unison.

“Who knows…” added Li Yi in his mind.

Nameless War God patted Out of Print’s shoulder, “Let’s go, worst come to worst we could just buy it out of him. If we could manage to buy the recording for their Dwarf King raid, we could probably buy others as well.”

The eight of them waved their Return City Stones and disappeared from the Curse Land.

“I’m done with my dinner, have they left yet?” Little Elf from the Magical Realm came back online.

Li Yi answered with a short “mm-hmm” before sending Pretty Good Mood a message.

Using Curse Scrolls to fight bosses was something that would be common knowledge eventually, but Li Yi was not fixated over that. For a good party, all members needed to be of one mind. Back then, Pretty Good Mood had already made it clear, every member was to delete their recordings of the battle with the Dwarf King. However, in the end, the War God Clan still managed to buy a copy.

“Whoever did it, come fess up right now!”

” Piece of sh*t 1 , if I find out who did this, I will never forgive them.” Pretty Good Mood was enraged.
