MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks Chapter 482

Chapter 482 - Dark Horse

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Decadent Ghoul’s attacks had a special ability to cause Silence. Once it was used, it would be difficult to defend against.

With Double Curse applied, the damage dealt by Mortal Strike was increased to 13,000 and its blood-draining ability was improved greatly. Although it could not cancel out A Bucket of Paste’s damage reversal, she could at least keep up with him.

“Gng! Gng!”

A Bucket of Paste’s palms amassed flames of Holy Light and he tossed them towards himself. With a shimmer of Holy Light, he had healed himself.

Paladins were shameless, hence exchanging blows with the class was time-consuming.

The first round of crossing swords between the two had resulted in Jiaojiao losing half her HP while A Bucket of Paste had fully recovered.

Jiaojiao heaved her greatsword and retreated cautiously. She did not dare to make a careless move. “How should I play this? He keeps reflecting my attacks. Perverted Wing, Perverted Wing, quick tell me how to play this.”

“Drag it out. Drag it on for 5 minutes and then unleash Undead Army on him.”

“F*ck! How despicable, but I like it!”

Jiaojiao pointed her sword at the Decadent Ghoul to cast Dark Contract, transferring the ghoul’s HP to her own.

JiaoJiao’s HP was recovered fully while the Decadent Ghoul dropped dead. Dark Paladins had the ability to consume their pet’s HP once every ten minutes.

Jiaojiao did not attack but instead, she repeatedly cast Double Curse. She was playing a game of cat and mouse.

The time limit for arena battles was 10 minutes. If the battle was not concluded within that time, the System would determine the winner based on the party with the highest HP.

With one person proficient in running while the other in delaying, the battle between Jiaojiao and A Bucket of Paste was not much to look at. What was there to watch when the two were in a game of pursuit?

Punishment Paladins equipped two-handed weapons, thus leaving them unable to equip a shield. This meant that boomeranging shields were out of the question. Additionally, without a Charge skill, they were bad at chasing down their opponents.

Similar to an adult chasing after their child, A Bucket of Paste was on his feet all day, yet he could not catch up to Jiaojiao…

In the end, he gave up, stood still, and replenished his health with Holy Flash. It seemed like he figured it out and planned to delay until the time ran out, winning because of his higher HP.

Jiaojiao stood in a corner, exchanging glances with A Bucket of Paste from afar. Once five minutes had passed, she raised Lord of Disaster high with pride, releasing black smoke. Over 60 ghouls howled as they crept out from the ground.

Tst tst—

The more than 60 ghouls all charged ahead, causing A Bucket of Paste’s expression to sink. He raised his hammer to cast Holy Protection.

Holy Protection had a similar effect to Holy Shield. It was a damage reduction skill that could be used once every 10 minutes. However, Holy Shield could reduce damage by 100% while Holy Protection could only cut it down by 50% for 12 seconds.

The ghouls encircled him, preventing him from hiding. A Bucket of Paste took their attacks head-on with Holy Protection and his self-healing.

Jiaojiao also joined in on the fun, alternating between Mortal Strike and Dark Strike. A Bucket of Paste was on the verge of losing, his HP almost running out when he threw his hands above his head.

“Holy Healing Skill!”

Tst—

His HP had fully recovered!

Holy Healing Skill was one of the strongest single target healing skills in King of Pantheon, its heals depended on the max HP of the target. At late stages of the game, a single use of this skill would heal up to 200,000 HP.

Holy Healing Skill could only be used once every 20 minutes!

The more than 60 ghouls had been killed by damage-reflect and A Bucket of Paste still had around 20,000 HP remaining. Jiaojiao, however, had slightly more, at 30,000 HP.

“Desecrate!”

“Mortal Strike! Dark Nirvana! Death’s Grasp! Mortal Strike!”

The greatsword Lord of Disaster shimmered with a dark glow as Jiaojiao unleashed a 5-hit combo before she collapsed to the ground along with A Bucket of Paste.

Draw!

A word in large font appeared on the screen.

“Hahahaha, I didn’t lose!” Jiaojiao was overjoyed.

“You didn’t win either,” Li Yi said, dampening her spirits.

“Well, the bet doesn’t count now. Phew, at least you didn’t win.”

The scene changed and a new opponent appeared before Jiaojiao.

Li Yi opted to follow Jiaojiao in her battles and as he watched on, he grew even more surprised. Compared to his past life, Miss Jiao was improving significantly on operating controls.

To score a draw with a maniac like A Bucket of Paste was no easy feat.

Li Yi looked at the ranking board and his jaw dropped.

Defiant Zephyr had dropped to fifteenth place. The current first place was Unending Unmatched, in second was A Bucket of Paste, third was Fallen Star while in tenth place was Jiaojiao…

In a few days, she had gone from unranked to tenth place! A dark horse, a definite dark horse!

Li Yi concluded in his heart.

Honestly speaking, Dark Paladins were adorned with dark armor and rode on dark horses…

“WTH? How did Defiant Zephyr end up down there?” Li Yi felt speechless seeing the current ranking of Defiant Zephyr. He had bet 5 million Gold Coins on Defiant Zephyr to win.

Only the top ten contestants would advance into the finals. Things were not looking good for Defiant Zephyr whose ranking had dropped this much.

Could it be Jiaojiao who would win the Season Championship?

The thought suddenly struck Li Yi.

He followed Jiaojiao to watch for a while. Apart from A Bucket of Paste, Miss Jiao had not lost a single round and was growing fiercer by the minute. Her Battlefield Points were closing in on the number two spot.

“It could be possible…”

The possibility of Jiaojiao taking home the trophy was growing stronger the longer Li Yi watched her…

That’s right, that’s right! This life was different from the past. Many events had changed due to him. Jiaojiao was an Archer in the past life, but in this life was a Dark Paladin. She was a nobody in the past, but in this life, she was a Queen!

Li Yi logged into the official website to find E Dance to its Knees and place a wager of 50 million Gold Coins on Jiaojiao.

He was just going to treat the earlier 5 million Gold Coins bet on Defiant Zephyr as lost.

He had complete confidence in Jiaojiao.

The odds were 2:1 on Defiant Zephyr, while it was 1:3 on Jiaojiao. This meant that a bet of 1 Gold Coin would result in 3 Gold Coins in return when won.

It was much more profitable compared to betting on Defiant Zephyr.

Jiaojiao logged off to prepare a meal so Li Yi followed characters at random to watch a few rounds, but found nothing that piqued his interest. He quit the spectator mode and teleported to Shattered Frost City in search of Black Dragon Princess.

After days of recovery, Onyxia’s HP had grown to 80 million and she made a brief stop in Shattered Frost City in human form.

Compared to before, Onyxia was missing the ability to distribute quests. Now, she stood in the streets of Shattered Frost City and patrolled the grounds.

Li Yi issued another order and transferred Onyxia to Castellan’s Residence to be a consul.

Onyxia’s Affinity towards him grew.

Then…

Li Yi removed Onyxia from office and had her continue to oversee patrolling Shattered Frost City.

Onyxia’s Affinity lowered a little, but it had still increased significantly compared to previously.

Promoting and demoting could only be done once a day. Otherwise Li Yi would have been Worshipped by Onyxia by now.

“Brother Dark Wing…”

While Li Yi was admiring Onyxia patrolling the streets, Hua Feihua ran over with a tender smile. She was riding a White Chocobo mount.

Li Yi immediately frowned but before he could make his escape, Hua Feihua had started the conversation.

“Brother Dark Wing, I’m really grateful about the previous matter. If it wasn’t for you, I would be have killed by Defiant and reset to Level 0.”

Hua Feihua’s coquettish tone left Li Yi shuddering, but he was puzzled about the previous matter she brought up.

“What previous matter?”

“Three Major Guild Alliance hunting me down. Wasn’t it you who sorted that out for me with Defiantly Tyrannical?”

Li Yi was stunned, “Me? With Defiantly Tyrannical?”

“You mean, it wasn’t you? How can that be~”

Li Yi shook his head, “It really wasn’t me.”

It was Hua Feihua’s turn to be astonished, “Three Major Guild Alliance withdrew the kill order on Huashan and me. It wasn’t your doing?”

“It really wasn’t.”

“Oh gawd, then who was it?” Hua Feihua inserted her finger into her mouth in an exaggerated manner.

“It could be Scumbag Wang, you should ask him.”

Hua Feihua shook her head, “No, Wang’er isn’t that stupid. How could it be him… But…” She was suddenly struck by a thought and paused.

“Wang’er led his men to hunt a Wizard named Defiant Zephyr. Rumour has it that he’s been reduced to Level 30, and yet Three Major Guild Alliance is turning a blind eye. Were you not behind it?”

Li Yi was dumbstruck.

Defiant Zephyr was Defiantly Tyrannical’s right-hand man and the chief Wizard of Three Major Guild Alliance. What was Defiantly Tyrannical thinking, ignoring him being ganked by Huashan?

“So you’re saying that Scumbag Wang is still killing Defiant Zephyr?”

“Yeah, I asked Wang’er about this. He said Defiant Zephyr insulted his boss so he must die. You know, Wang’er has always been silly, I thought he was kidding at the time. I didn’t think it was true…”

Huashan’s boss?

Li Yi was at a loss. He searched his memories, but was unable to recall who Huashan’s boss was.

Li Yi finally understood, he finally understood…

It was no wonder Defiant Zephyr had dropped so dramatically in the arena rankings. He was met with this incident.

Fortunately, he had changed his mind and placed his wager on Jiaojiao, or else tragedy awaited him.

Ganked to Level 30… It was a huge deal. Defiant Zephyr had been only one level away from the level cap. Man, he was really down on his luck.

“Brother Dark Wing, could you accompany me in clearing a dungeon? Just this once, puhleaseee~” Hua Feihua suckled on her finger and pouted coquettishly at Li Yi.

Li Yi shuddered at the sight and immediately logged off. He did not want to have any contact with this tart.

The meal was ready. The wounded, Fire Ice did not return home and was forced to stay by Jiaojiao. She could only be sent home when the big bump on her was gone.

Until the bump was gone, Li Yi was covering her accommodation and expenses.

To this, Li Yi had no objection.

However, Li Yi voiced his objection when the day turned dark because Jiaojiao wanted to sleep with Fire Ice, and he was forced to sleep alone in another bedroom.

Li Yi had secretly hinted Jiaojiao during dinner, gesturing her to his bedroom, but this chick acted dumb and ignored him.

Infuriated, he gestured a ring in one hand and stuck his finger on the other hand into the ring a couple of times.

Jiaojiao gave no reaction but his motion was caught by Fire Ice.

Looking at Fire Ice’s flushed red face, Li Yi lowered his head in awkwardness…

It was late at night and Li Yi’s bedroom door was latched. A slender figure quietly crept in…
