Chapter 320 - Andrew’s Ring

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Pick any equipment I have on me right now! I’ll give you whichever you want!”

Shoot Until Daybreak’s words was extremely sincere.

“What’s your reason?”

“This ring is supposed to be a gift for my girlfriend. That’s why I need to have it back!”

“Oh, then too bad! I also have a girlfriend that wants a purple INT ring, I might as well give it to her.”

“You… Don’t you even have a slither of sympathy?” Shoot Until Daybreak was furious.

Li Yi ignored the question. At this point, he had already reached his destination, the Celestial Capital.

The INT-boosting purple ring was useless to him. He originally planned to trade with Shoot Until Daybreak, but when he heard Shoot Until Daybreak’s reason, he instantly changed his mind.

This was because he felt strange.

Shoot Until Daybreak was a celebrity in his past life. After the orange bow’s second seal was released, his bio with information related to him was posted on the front page of the Pantheon official site.

Li Yi could remember clearly that this fellow had said on numerous occasions, “Girls are too troublesome. I don’t care for girls, I just wanna quietly play my game.”

His technical abilities were extraordinary, but he was extremely petty and stingy. According to rumors, he once lent a friend 300 Gold Coins in the past. After one whole year, he was constantly chasing after the guy asking for the money back. In the end, the guy felt increasingly embarrassed to the point where he had to ask other people to lend him money just so he could get Shoot Until Daybreak off his back. From then on, he no longer dared to borrow money from Shoot Until Daybreak.

For this legendary type of character, why would he ever give a girlfriend a purple ring?

Li Yi did not buy it.

[The Great Wizard Andrew’s Ring (purple quality)]

[Equipment Level: Level 60]

{INT +300]

[Special effect: Spellcasting speed decreased by 20%.]

[Note: The Great Wizard Andrew’s most precious ring. The word “Yuria” is etched on it.]

This purple ring’s attributes were extremely weird. Although it boosted the wearer’s INT by a lot, it’s overall attributes were lackluster. It was nothing like the average epic-quality equipment.

‘Something must be up!’

In the notes of the purple ring, there was a mention of the female special NPC called Yuria. She would move around at random every day whilst riding on a flying mount.

She had traveled through the four major continents. Of course, this was not important. The key was that this female special NPC’s class was an Archer!

This purple ring, was it the key to initiate some sort of hidden quest?

Li Yi could not guarantee it, but based on Shoot Until Daybreak’s nervous attitude, it was an educated guess.

Riding his Holy Light Warhorse, Li Yi hastily rushed to the Crown Square. After wasting so many Wish Stones and being the willing victim of a swindler, it was all to defeat the God-Queen Carulla!

“Boom! Boom!”

Just as Li Yi reached the Crown Square, dark clouds started gathering in the sky. Before he could even get close to Carulla, lightning had already struck at his feet.

Carulla was still stood at the same spot, repeatedly mumbling his lines as if she did not see anything.

After taking the first lightning strike, Li Yi was already at his limit. He immediately turned back and ran out of the square. At that point, the dark clouds above his head also started to disperse.

“This isn’t good. The Gods’ aggro-lock system is too strong. They’ll immediately punish me whenever I get near, how the heck am I supposed to do this?”

Li Yi got a headache trying to deal with this.

After testing the aggro back and forth a few times, he concluded that the high-aggro lethal lightning had perfectly stopped him from getting anywhere near Carulla.

Although the orange bow had a 30-mile increase in shooting trajectory, its range was still not enough. Unless the shooting trajectory could increase by an additional 50-miles, there was no way he could get around it by purely using range.

‘Maybe I can get someone to feed me buffs and just brute force through all the lightning?

‘However… Even if I could survive a couple of lightning strikes, would Carulla still sit idly and eat my arrows just like last time?’

Li Yi pulled out his friend summoning tool and started forming a party…

This time he only added a single person, Unending Unmatched.

“What’s up, guild leader?”

“I need you to support me with Shield of Earth.”

Unending Unmatched current equipment was absolute trash. After he lost his Blood Lord Equipment Set, Li Yi wanted to give him the equipment dropped by Brother Windcloud Nine. However, he rejected the offer. It was not that he did not need it, but rather that he did not want to owe Li Yi as he felt that he never be able to repay Li Yi’s kindness…

Stubborn and constantly clinging obstinately to his ideals, these were the traits of Unending Unmatched.

Luckily, he still knew the epic skill Shield of Earth. It was a skill that increased a player’s damage by 5% and reduced the damage taken by 80%, lasting for 60 seconds. As long as he had this skill, Unending Unmatched would never be forgotten.

“Alright!”

Unending Unmatched used his Shield of Earth. Immediately, the two’s bodies were covered by a golden shield, signifying that the buff was taking effect.

Li Yi immediately rode his Holy Light Warhorse back towards the Crown Square.

The main function of the Shield of Earth was the 80% damage reduction. As for the 5% damage increase, it could not be stacked with other similar buffs like the Sky Vagabond’s 20% damage increase buff. If the two were used at the same time, the 5% damage increase would be canceled out. The user would only have a 10% damage increase, it would never stack to become a 15% damage increase. This was how the buff calculation worked for buffs and debuffs of similar types.

As a dark cloud formed above him once more as the Thunder of Divine Punishment repeatedly struck at Li Yi. With the 80% damage reduction from the Shield of Earth, every time the lightning struck, it would only deal around 1,000 HP worth of damage per hit.

“Elimination Arrow!”

He had chugged a Fury Potion beforehand. Without equipping the black helmet, Li Yi fired his first shot.

This arrow was to test out Carulla’s reactions from being attacked!

“Schwing!”

As the Elimination Arrow flew towards Carulla, it was dissolved by her God’s Territory. It was just as he had expected, Carulla had already made preparations against him, rendering ambushes useless.

As the Thunder of Divine Punishments continued on, Li Yi could barely take it anymore. Chugging down an Advanced-level HP potion, he turned back and escaped the square.

“Guild Leader, what sort of quest are you doing? It seems extremely difficult and risky!” Unending Unmatched was completely stunned by the scene he had just witnessed.

“It’s an Epic Quest, you’ll also have to do it in the future.” Li Yi wiped off his sweat. It was a close call just now, if he had been struck down by Carulla at that point, it would be immensely difficult for him to even revive.

“Boom!”

Accompanied by the sound of thunder, a dark cloud moved over Li Yi’s head. Li Yi’s face tensed up, he immediately rode his horse further away from the area.

‘F*ck! This b*tch’s aggro range is starting to increase…

‘There’s no way to do this anymore. Especially with the aggro range increasing and the opponent’s God’s Territory protecting them, how can she even be killed?

‘Has my dreams of the orange bow been flushed down the toilet?’

Li Yi helplessly looked at the orange bow in his head, as his head started to hurt once more.

[Durability 327/500]

“Guild Leader, anything else I can help you with?”

“It’s fine, you can head back first.”

Li Yi ran back to the Celestial Capital’s teleportation point and bound the return city stone to the Celestial Capital.

Celestial Capital was a convenient place to be in. It had everything a player would need and ease of access to a lot of other places. By binding his return city stone to this place, it would save him a lot of traveling time.

In order to resolve the issue of the orange bow’s durability, Li Yi had thought of more than ten solutions. However, no matter how he thought about it, he still felt that killing Carulla was the best method to go for.

Carulla was the God-Queen, her position was second only to the Ruler of All Pantheons, the God-King himself. If he could kill her, it would most definitely allow him to unlock the orange bow’s second seal in the best way.

Li Yi summoned his Horned Griffin and started flying towards the Abyssal Crevice.

He had decided, he would go to the Western Continent’s Celestial Capital and kill Carulla’s other form!

Carulla had a total of three forms in the Pantheon Continent, one in each of the three major continents. If he could not kill the Eastern Continent’s Carulla, he could still kill one of the other Carulla’s in the Western and Southern Continent. Similarly, he would only have one chance at them.

Three days after Li Yi announced his Throne-claiming, the Western Continent’s Night Moon also announced his Throne-claiming, followed by Southern Continent’s Arthur. Now that all three Celestial Capitals had been opened, Li Yi’s plan could work!

“Attention! Attention! Dark Wing has arrived at the Western Continent! Attention! Attention!”

Just as Li Yi flew past the Abyssal Crevice, the Western Continent players’ Aggro Tracking System immediately zoned in on him.

The Western Continent channel was in a frenzy.

“All brothers of the Windcloud Clan, stop all activities and focus solely on killing Dark Wing!”

“All members of Reigning the World listen up! Anyone who kills Dark Wing will earn DKP…”

“Undefeatable Legends, kill Dark Wing on sight! Do not let him escape, or I’ll f*ck your entire ancestry!”

The major guilds in the Western Continent were all hyped up.

“Missy Autumn, you there?” Li Yi sent a message to Autumn Love as he was flying.

“Not here…”Autumn Love replied. However, she immediately followed up with a second line, “What business do you have with Autumn Love? I’m her… her friend.”

‘F*ck, this lie was a little too fake. Your ID is linked to your brain waves, how can someone else use it?’

Li Yi did not know whether to laugh or cry. However, after thinking about it a little more, her actions might be because she got scared by Li Yi coming over to the Western Continent.

Li Yi immediately stated his intentions, “Can you help me with something? I want to go to a certain place. I’ll need to stay there for about ten minutes. Can you lure away the Western Continent players temporarily? All you need to do is to make sure they won’t interrupt me. After I’m done with it I’ll reward you handsomely.”

“Errm, a handsome reward?” This time, Autumn Love replied almost instantaneously.

“How ’bout I help you out with a few more dungeons? Is that enough?”

“Oh, I’ll ask Autumn Love to come talk to you…” After three seconds, Autumn Love spoke again, “Brother Dark Wing, what can I do for you?”

Li Yi’s palm almost went through his face.

“I want to go to the Celestial Capital…”

Li Yi did not try to hide his intentions in coming her as he replied to Autumn Love.

When asking for help from a person, the first thing one had to do was to have trust. If he started lying at this point it would be obvious that he lacked sincerity.

“You want to do a quest at the Celestial Captial? Christ… Do you know that there were at least 5,000,000 players hanging around the area? Not to sound offensive since I truly admire your skills, but there’s no bloody way you could survive being attacked by 50,000 players, much less 5,000,000 players! I advise you to give up on that preposterous plan.”

“Just answer me. Can you lure away other players as I am doing the quest? You don’t need to give a crap about the details.”

“Let me think…” After thinking for a long while, Autumn Love finally replied, “If you add in another 1,000,000 Gold, I think… this shouldn’t be a problem.”

“I’ll accompany you to dungeons for three times, in addition to the 1,000,000 Gold. How’s that?”

“Let me think about it a little more.” Looking at how swiftly Li Yi replied, Autumn Love started deliberating once more.

Li Yi shouted in anger, “Think my *rse. I still haven’t brought up the issue of you selling me a broken helmet!”

“Err, no problem. Then it’s a deal! A real man never backs out of his promises, don’t you dare regret this deal! Remember, three dungeon runs and 1,000,000 Gold!”

Black-hearted to the max and always taking advantage of others. These were the traits of the Ice Empress Autumn Love…

To ensure Li Yi does not go back on his word, Autumn Love even drafted a contract and sent it over. Since the contract was enforced by the System, once the players signed it, there was no way they could back out.

The Celestial Capital was at the heart of every Continent. Li Yi was confident in forcing himself in. However, he was not confident enough to survive being surrounded by players. He did not have any friends in the Western Continent. The only person he could think of was the blackhearted missy Autumn Love.

“OK, Brother Dark Wing, happy working with you! ^-^”

Autumn Love was extremely satisfied as she received Li Yi’s signed contract. She even added a smiley face at the end of her reply.

Li Yi looked at the time and replied, “I’ll meet you at the Celestial Capital in three hours!”
