Chapter 301 - King Arthur

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In short, players who had switched to the Traveler class would have the color of their names changed to green. Although other players can still kill them, as previously stated, the consequences of doing so would result in the aggressor’s sin value to be increased tenfold. As an example, killing a normal player from the same camp would not cause your name to become red, and at most your name would only become grey. However, killing a Traveler would immediately result in your name becoming red.

Of course, Scumbag Wang was already a red name player since the server began, thus it mattered little to him. However, he could not have predicted what awaited him …

Within the Ancient Civilization Ruins, the corpses of players were piling up on the ground, and there were players constantly getting up and players constantly falling down. Shouts and curses blended together, igniting a blazing fury within players.

Currently, there were at least a thousand people who were keeping watch over the entrances to the three five-man Instance Dungeons that had yet to be cleared. The shield emblems above their heads stood out as well, as it was the crest that belonged only to Southern Continent players.

While the Southern Continent players were guarding the entrances, Defiantly Tyrannical was at the outer walls, leading players from the Three Major Guild Alliance to eliminate any who dared approach the dungeon entrances.

Naturally, they had a systematic method of eliminating their targets. They did not attack in a group, but through skirmishes instead. However, they only targeted players whom they deemed a threat, and they ignored the normal players.

Those who possessed the skill required to beat the Instance Dungeon were considered threats. At this point, the number one threat was none other than — Dark Wing!

“Defiant, you sure are a piece of work. To be able to team up with King Arthur in such a short period of time…”

As Li Yi stood from afar with the four girls, he shook his head and laughed bitterly.

“Are you saying that they’re trying to block you?” asked the startled Xu Man.

Li Yi sighed. “Who else could it be but me? We’ve been getting first kill after first kill, surely they’re green with envy by now.”

Looking at the crowd up ahead, Xu Man’s head hurt. “So what now? Gather everyone and charge in recklessly?”

“How are we supposed to gather so many people? It’s too much trouble.”

Certainly, the price of gathering everyone was too high. With everyone currently getting new gear in the dungeons, a fight with Defiant and his followers right now would definitely affect the upcoming raids on Party-level Instance Dungeons.

“So what do we do? Give up?”

Li Yi shook his head. “Let’s just wait and see.”

It was almost time for the King of Souls’ patrol. Li Yi believed that when the King of Souls approached, an opening would definitely appear in the opponent’s forces.

After a dozen minutes or so, the King of Souls had really appeared. However, Li Yi did not know whether to laugh or cry at the resulting outcome.

When the King of Souls flew down, players from Arthur’s Dynasty and the Three Major Guild Alliance went offline. Thus, the casualties were inflicted only upon a small portion of the troops and the majority suffered no losses. Once the King of Souls left, the players went back online.

“Amazing! They used only two days to memorize the King of Souls’ flight path, the Southern Continent is overwhelmingly strong.”

“Is there no other way?” Xu Man was unwilling to give up.

After contemplating for a while, Li Yi asked, “I could probably sneak into the dungeon, what about you girls?”

“No.” The girls shook their heads in unison.

Without another word, Li Yi drank a bottle of Invisibility Potion and had snuck his way there.

The opponent had tens of thousands of people, with his strength alone, there was definitely no way to kill every single one of their forces. Kiting a boss was also not an option, as Dragonbone Waste was a special map which could only be accessed via teleportation doors. Thus, it was impossible to lure bosses from other maps.

Li Yi was confident in his ability to sneak into the instance dungeons, but Xu Man and the others could not. Moreover, at Li Yi’s current level, it was impossible to solo the five Level 50 small Instance Dungeons of the Light and Dark Instances.

“Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrrr!”

A vicious, whirling Powered-up Arrow was shot at Defiantly Tyrannical, followed closely by an Elimination Arrow. Li Yi had drunk a Fury Potion Formula, and his intent was obvious, Li Yi intended to drop Defiantly Tyrannical!

“Pew-pew-pew-pew…”

The Powered-up Arrow struck Defiantly Tyrannical’s body, instantly dealing an alarming damage of [−3021]. The arrow had pierced cleanly through him, yet it showed no signs of slowing. Only after passing through 20 or so players, it had finally stopped.

However, Elimination Arrow had gone straight towards the players behind Defiantly Tyrannical, unimpeded. The reason being that Defiantly Tyrannical had already been killed by the Powered-up Arrow…

Li Yi had shot dead eleven opponents with only two arrows!

“It’s Dark Wing! Unleash your killer moves!”

Thousands of players unleashed their most powerful moves, and countless spells came raining down, painting the sky with the seven colors of the rainbow. Li Yi summoned his Holy Light Warhorse as he turned and ran. At this instant, a plain white light pillar descended from the heavens, landing directly on his head.

“Light’s Bindings!”

“Tch—”

A white-robed blonde teenage Wizard used Flash and teleported in front of Li Yi, followed by Frost Rising Star, instantly freezing him in place.

“Arcane Impact! Arcane Missile!”

The blonde Wizard extended both his hands, with movements as swift as a coursing river, dealing around 1000 damage to Li Yi in an instant.

“Arthur!”

Li Yi activated his Survival Instinct, dispelling his abnormal statuses. Whilst he spurred Holy Light Warhorse to flee, he had also cast the warhorse’s special skill, Group Repentance onto the players in pursuit.

The blonde haired mage, Arthur was the target of his attack. Holy Light Warhorse neighed, and a golden ray of light descended from above. When it hit Arthur, the golden ray had also spread to the surroundings, effectively forcing all players within a 30 square yard radius into a state of Repentance.

“Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrrr!”

Li Yi shot a Powered-up Arrow as he fled, followed by a shot of Chain Arrows. The arrows were shot in a pattern whereby the first arrow was followed by two others, totaling in three arrows being shot in rapid succession at Arthur.

The blonde Wizard Arthur was the Guild Master for Arthur’s Dynasty. He was also the King who would unify the Southern Continent in the future. The current blockade of the Instance Dungeon Entrance was the fruits of his collaboration with Defiantly Tyrannical.

Arthur shook his head and used one of his equipment’s special skill to dispel Repentance. By dodging to the side, he had evaded the arrows.

“Pew-pew-pew!”

Li Yi’s arrows had landed on a player behind Arthur instead, killing him on the spot.

“Kill Dark Wing! You are forbidden from letting him escape!” Arthur summoned a Tabu Sheep as his mount and pursued Li Yi aggressively.

Holy Light Warhorse had an extremely fast movement speed. Although Arthur’s Tabu Sheep was also a combat mount, its movement speed came nowhere close to Holy Light Warhorse. Unless Li Yi had decided to stop, Arthur stood no chance of catching up.

After escaping Ancient Civilization Ruins, Li Yi ran and stopped periodically, baiting Arthur to give chase, but at the same time, denying him the chance to do so. The situation did not go very long before Arthur had gradually separated from the majority of his troops.

“Dark Wing, duel me!”

Arthur roared as he ran. He was not a brute with all brawns and no brains; he understood Li Yi’s intentions well. Although he had watched Li Yi’s combat videos numerous times, he still was not satisfied with just watching, he was always hoping for a chance to size Li Yi up directly.

“Duel me!”

Arthur shouted furiously.

The translation capabilities within King of Pantheon were quite advanced, regardless of the nationality of players, conversations could be held between languages without any impediments.

Li Yi mocked, “I rely on skills to take down the Instance Dungeons, what about you guys? Blocking the entrance? What a joke! Even if you guys continued blocking, would you ever have gotten the first kill?”

“DUEL ME!”

Arthur still could not catch up to Li Yi and now he was flying into a rage.

During Li Yi’s first Instance Dungeon first kill, he had robbed Arthur of his prize. When the system announcement was made, Arthur had already reached the lowest floor, he was already very close to succeeding.

Shame! Li Yi’s first kill had brought Arthur shame!

The Champion of the World Cyber Games, WCG’s First 1 , The Greatest Player, and King Arthur’s Descendant, this long list of titles had all belonged to Arthur. He was a proud person; hence he would not allow ANYONE to dishonor him!

Dark Wing must die!

As Li Yi continued his sporadic pattern of walking and stopping to lure Arthur away, Li Yi had sneakily checked Arthur’s level and equipment as well.

In the past, Li Yi had a skill called Clairvoyance, which allowed him to peek at the hidden stats and attributes of the equipment from other players. In this life though, he did not possess that skill but he had a great deal of gameplay experience. Judging by the equipment’s appearance, he could already guess its hidden attributes, but in the case of Arthur, he did not need to analyze him at all. This was because Arthur did not hide any of his equipment’s attributes, so all Li Yi had to do was to click on ‘Observe’ to see it.

The way a proud and a humble person acts is certainly different…

Arcane Robes, Arcane Helm, Arcane Belt…

A +10 Arcana Tier 1 equipment Set, a pair of +11 purple-colored epic-level rings, a type of accessory that reduced damage by 30% called “Orlando’s Charity”; and the most envious of all, the scepter in his hands, an orange-colored Legendary-Level weapon — King Arthur’s Glorious Scepter!

Like Li Yi, Arthur was also carrying out his class’ Epic-Level Class Quest. However, unlike the orange bow that required Li Yi to activate numerous frustrating seals; Glorious Scepter did not possess any seals as it was a representation of Divine Authority. Instead, to upgrade the scepter, all Arthur had to do was to search for and gain the blessings of Deities.

Arthur was lucky, currently, Glorious Scepter had already received the blessings of three Deities. Although this number was still a far cry from his past self’s scepter which had received the blessings of nine deities, compared to Li Yi’s orange bow, there was no doubt that Arthur had the upper hand!

Although both of the Arcane Set’s major special effects were not as good as the Blood Lord Set, the differences were not that wide. One of the effects was that it increased M-ATK by 30%, the other was that it reduced damage by 20%, pairing it up with Orlando’s Charity, Arthur had achieved up to 50% damage reduction!

Arthur must die!

Arthur wanted to kill Li Yi and vice versa.

Always boasting about his title as King Arthur’s descendant, Arthur respected no one. This was not much of a problem to Li Yi, you do you and I will mind my own business. However, what disgusted Li Yi was this punk’s vile behavior. During his journey to the Southern Continent in his past life, he had met Qian’er and Big Boy, at the same time, he had also met Arthur. With Li Yi’s reputation back then, it was obvious how Arthur had treated him.

Arthur had looked down on Li Yi, constantly ridiculing him. This did little to bother him, as Li Yi had already gotten used to it, be it words behind his back or a frontal jab, he could handle it all. However, what ticked him off was how Arthur had treated others.

He was constantly harassing Qian’er, regardless of how much Qian’er hated it, Arthur was relentless. Even this was of little consequence as it was only natural to go after a beauty, Li Yi even granted Arthur that much!

Through Li Yi, Arthur had gotten to know Jiaojiao. Arthur had given various offerings to Jiaojiao and was attentive to her whims, and even this mattered little to Li Yi as Jiaojiao was also a fine-looking lady.

To gain the affection of the ladies, Arthur had ridiculed himself, again and again, deprecating himself to raise the ladies’ impression of him. This mattered little as well, the one thing that Li Yi could TRULY not tolerate was that Arthur had abandoned his wealthy girlfriend. She had given him everything, even bearing Arthur a child, he had taken all he could and yet he had abandoned them like nothing. Arthur had never even seen how his child looked like.

His last words during their breakup had broken her. “With God as my witness, I swear I have never loved you, my union with you was only a wonderful mistake…”
