MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

Chapter 254 - Water-Element Turtle

Panda Novel

Li Yi automatically stood back. He was stood right behind Autumn Love, silently watching her battling it out with the Water-element Turtle.

The Water-element Turtle had high DEF. It was also proficient with long-range attacks with attacks like Water Bolt and Aqua Bomb being its signature moves. Although its movement speed was slower, its casting speed was extremely fast. When a player is fighting with it, they could not afford to make any mistakes.

The more Autumn Love fought, the more her spirit started to waver. She occasionally looked back towards Li Yi. Although she had told Li Yi that she did not need any help, in reality, she was not confident at all.

“I heard from the official site that when the Water-element Turtle only has one-third of HP left, it would release an AoE Torrential Explosion skill. It’s a guaranteed hit. However, you’re a Wizard, you should be able to use Solid Ice to counter it.”

[Solid Ice (Similar to Invincibility, lasts for 10 seconds. Once used, the user will be frozen within a solid block of ice, unable to make any movements).]

Li Yi started mumbling.

Autumn Love’s self-confidence crumbled even more.

She was afraid that when she would almost kill off the Water-element Turtle, Li Yi would take action and get a kill steal…

‘I heard that this guy’s personality ain’t the best. Even word of the T*ttygrabbergate had reached the Western Continent. Just from his ambush earlier, I can tell that this guy is shady as hell. This is bad…’

“Guild Master Dark Wing, I think I’m progressing a bit too slowly, let’s form a party to speed things up.” Autumn Love found an opportunity to offer Li Yi a proposition.

“How would I dare? I shouldn’t steal your prey after all. Continue on, I’ll just watch on from the sidelines.” Li Yi said as he stepped back even more, causing Autumn Love to wince in frustration.

Looking at Li Yi holding onto his bow so tightly, Autumn Love could not help but worry even more.

‘What the hell is he thinking about, just standing right there? He must be thinking of shooting me right on the brink of the Water-element Turtle’s defeat, right? Hmph, how despicable!’

The Water-element Turtle’ HP had already reached 10,000,000. Spacing out when facing this kind of powerful elite was an automatic death sentence. Autumn Love ate an Aqua Bomb to the face and got gibbed to death.

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Li Yi immediately took action. His two arrows landed accurately on the Water-element Turtle. This was only to prevent it from leaving combat and having its HP replenished.

Violent Bear King rushed up and grabbed onto the Water-element Turtle tightly, allowing Li Yi to safely deal damage.

After a while, Autumn Love returned. Looking at the sight at hand, she stood there hesitating for a long time before finally saying, “Guild Master Dark Wing, surely you wouldn’t mind letting me form a party with you and fighting together right?”

Autumn Love immediately sent Li Yi a party invite.

Her character had just died, so the Water-element Turtle would be considered Li Yi’s target right now.

‘This isn’t a killsteal. I didn’t even raise a finger against you, who asked you to go off and die off on your own…’

“No problem, let’s join forces.”

Without a hint of hesitation, Li Yi added Autumn Love into his party.

Since they were both from different camps, the system automatically turned off friendly fire. For the time being, they had become party members who could not attack each other.

As she joined the party, before she could rejoice, she just saw that Li Yi had selected Master Loot as the loot distribution method. She was utterly shocked.

No matter what loot dropped, only the party leader would be able to distribute it. Even if it was a party member that looted an item, it would automatically get sent to the party leader’s hands…

“Guild Master Dark Wing, the loot distribution…”

“Attack quick, if we’re too slow, the Water-element Turtle is gonna go berserk!”

“Rare elites shouldn’t be able to go berserk, right?”

“Err, is that so? It seems like my memory is a bit off.”

“Guild Master Dark Wing, the loot distribution…”

“Look out, the Water Bolt’s coming your way!”

“Guild Master Dark Wing, the loot distribution…”

“Aqua Bomb incoming! Get down!”

This went on a few times more, but every time Autumn Love attempted to ask Li Yi, he would always interrupt her. This was not good, just now she had Li Yi wrapped around her finger, but now, Li Yi was doing the same thing to her.

Autumn Love did not know what to do. After pondering for a long while, she helplessly shook her head and started shooting her Frost Bolts at the turtle.

“Guild Master Dark Wing, if my equipment drops, I trust that you’ll do the right thing.”

“Violent Bear’s Protection!”

Li Yi roared out loud, completely drowning out Autumn Love’s voice.

‘Damn, this Dark Wing kid is truly the lowest of the low, how shameless,’ thought Autumn Love regarding Li Yi in her heart.

Unlike Autumn Love, Li Yi did not think he was doing anything out of line They were originally from different camps anyway. She even twisted her words to manipulate him earlier. This was called “what goes around, comes around”, one should not complain.

The Violent Bear King had thick skin, it was most suited against an elite like the Water-element Turtle. Li Yi and Autumn Love did not have to move at all, all they had to do was to stand still and continue their DPS.

10,000,000 HP sounded terrifying on paper, but with the Violent Bear King holding the turtle down, the two were relieved of all pressure. They could DPS to their hearts’ content. Soon, the Water-element Turtle’s HP was critically low.

Just as Li Yi had said, when the Water-element Turtle’s remaining HP reached one-third, it started to use the wide-area AoE skill, Torrential Explosion.

Autumn Love immediately used Solid Ice in defense, whereas Li Yi survived through it due to his sheer amount of HP.

One Torrential Explosion deals around 4000+ damage, there was no way an average Archer or Wizard could survive getting hit by it. However, to Li Yi who had more than 8000 HP, surviving this was child’s play.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The Water-element Turtle’s body started to glow blue. It was continuously firing Aqua Bombs all around, its attacking range no longer limited to the Violent Bear King. It started to attack every enemy it could see.

Li Yi and Autumn Love started repositioning themselves to dodge the incoming shots. At this time, Li Yi’s past life experience came in handy. He was able to accurately predict the Water-element Turtle’s attacks and make the necessary actions to avoid them. Autumn Love was not so lucky, she could only rely on her immediate reflexes to dodge, causing her to always be a bit slower than Li Yi.

She had never fought the Water-element Turtle before, this was her first time!

A Wizard was a glass cannon. It was not long before Autumn Love dropped dead to the ground.

Li Yi kept up with the attacks as he continued to dodge about. Since the Water-element Turtle’s HP was down to 150,000, Autumn Love wanted to corpse run but was afraid Li Yi would sneakily loot the body without her. She could neither afford to corpse run nor revive, causing her to feel conflicted.

‘Although this guy’s personality was a bit bad, his technical skills are masterful. He definitely lives up to his god-tier name.’ Autumn Love reevaluated Li Yi.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The Water-element Turtle’s HP continued to drop as Li Yi got more and more into his groove. He was not like certain newbies who start getting more and more careless as the boss’ health gets lower, making careless mistakes and getting killed by a low health boss.

That kind of thing would happen quite often to new players. However, this would never happen to Li Yi because his mentality towards this game had long matured past that point.

After a final Eliminate, the Water-element Turtle dropped dead to the ground. Li Yi and Autumn Love both received a System Notification stating that they both attained a Hall of Fame event each.

Li Yi squatted next to the Water-element Turtle’s corpse, causing Autumn Love heart to leap into her mouth. Unfortunately, after she waited for a long time, Li Yi was just squatted there staring, not actually looting the boss.

“Erm, cough… Why aren’t you looting the boss?”

“I was waiting for you to revive.”

“You’re waiting for me to revive? You better keep your word.” Autumn Love immediately released her soul and started corpse running…

After two minutes, Autumn Love revived on the spot.

“You loot it.” Li Yi smiled at Autumn Love.

“Thank you.” Autumn Love was quite moved. Never would she have expected that not only did Li Yi not lie to her, he patiently waited for her and even let her personally loot it.

However…

She would never know that the only reason Li Yi did not want to loot was that he was afraid that his hand was too trashy. That’s the only reason he did not start looting…

The five rare elites would drop at most two items every time. Autumn Love’s luck was actually quite good. As she raised out her hand, two items displayed.

A Mysterious Egg and an Advanced-Level Frost Arrow Crafting Tome.

“T-this…” Autumn Love was stunned.

“Hahaha, it’s all mine. I’m sorry girly.” Li Yi made his distribution selection and gave both items to himself.

“What sh*tty luck!” Autumn Love was furious. Although she had not fought the Water-element Turtle before, the official site description clearly stated that there was a 50% chance of a Wizard Skill Tome and 30% chance of a piece of Wizard equipment being dropped.

“Mysterious Egg…”

Looking at the egg in Li Yi’s hands, Autumn Love’s heart dropped. However, she knew clearly that Li Yi was not planning on giving it to her…

Including the one Jiaojiao gave to him, Li Yi now had two Mysterious Eggs. Although the probability of getting a Phoenix was extremely small, he still wanted to try it. However, now was not the time. He first wanted to gather enough Mysterious Eggs before hatching them all in one go.

‘Well, I guess getting one Hall of Fame event is still not a bad outcome…’

Autumn Love started to comfort herself. She walked up to the Water-element Turtle’s corpse and started waving her hand about. A short moment later, the corpse had turned into a pile of materials.

Autumn Love’s subclass was a Dismantler. She could dismantle certain monster corpses and turn them into materials.

“How much for the Turtle Crystal materials?” Li Yi suddenly asked.

Turtle Crystal materials were dropped from turtle-type monsters. However, due to the low drop rate, its price was naturally not cheap. When Li Yi saw Autumn Love dismantle a huge pile of Turtle Crystals, he could not resist but ask.

“50 Gold per set, do you want them? I have 50 sets here.”

“I’ll take all of ’em!” Li Yi smiled. He accepted the trade and placed all 50 sets of Turtle Crystals into his pouch. He needed these things to create Advanced-Level Frost Arrows.

“Do you still need more? I still have 50 more sets back in my storage.”

“Yeah, just send them to me via mail when you get back. I’m not lacking in money anyway, hehe.”

“Alright, deal!”

“Are you still gonna grind here?” Autumn Love asked.

“I’m gonna walk around for a bit. If I see any elites I’ll fight them, if not, I’ll just head back.” Of course, Li Yi would not tell her the truth. He pulled out some random excuse to send her off.

“I’m probably not waiting anymore. I’ll go grind at some other place today. My luck these days is too bad.”

As Autumn Love waved her Return City Stone, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

He was worried he would be interrupted while capturing the Lightning Leopard. Now that Autumn Love voluntarily left the location, it was as if a burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

Li Yi rode on the Crimson Tiger King and went to finish his quest.

Walking out of the canyon, Li Yi smiled as he saw Cassio from afar. He immediately removed all his equipment and put them into the Pearl Slots to ensure they would not drop. Clad in only his tighty-whities, he walked up to Cassio.

“Have you collected enough Seeds of the Holy Light? Let me see.” Cassio rudely raised a hand out toward Li Yi.

Li Yi replied with a question, “Am I supposed to hand the seeds to you? I thought I was supposed to hand them to your master?”

“I need to check it first.”

Li Yi stood there for a long while, but Cassio was still blocking the way. In the end, he had no choice, he had to hand the Seeds of Holy Light to Cassio.

‘This sh*tty *ss quest, must I really die at least once?’

Cassio laughed coldly. Without even looking at the Seeds of Holy Light in his hands, a golden light shone from his hands and all the Seeds of Holy Light were instantly destroyed.

“Where are the Seeds of Holy Light? Sinner who has blasphemed against the Holy Light, how dare you lie to the Son of Holy Light?”

Cassio pointed at Li Yi. A ball of golden light descended from the skies, causing him to freeze in place.

“Repentance!”
