MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

Chapter 143: Ultimate Combat Weapon

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The five large-sized Metal Skin Birds were the same models as the one Shakra had flown, but these ones had much more HP, and they could even use Inferno Spread Shot. Just the slightest graze and the aircraft would lose half of its HP.

Li Yi yelled loudly, “Everyone, rise to high altitudes, and watch for the Inferno! Everyone, climb higher!”

Each of the Dwarfs’ creations had some flaws, and the large-sized Metal Skin Birds were no exception. Although they had high DEF and HP, their Inferno Spread Shot could only attack beneath them. If you flew above them, that Inferno Spread Shot effectively became harmless.

Having a commander and not having one made for two vastly different battles. Although the party members were not very familiar with the aircraft controls as of yet, as long as they had a super commander as Li Yi, they could deal quite a significant amount of damage as well.

The remaining 40-odd aircraft all rose to the highest altitude they could manage, and they began to attack the flying-bird warplane boss viciously from above. Now that Inferno Spread Shot was ineffective, the flying-bird warplane boss could only use the weaker Fire Projectiles to fight back.

Mad Dragon and Infinite Insanity were no longer as excellent as they were before. As befitting a pair of arch-rivals, Mad Dragon was shot down as soon as he rose, and within three seconds, Infinite Insanity joined him in the same tragic manner.

Even the strongest powerhouses and BAMFs were no more than regular Joes right now. On the other hand, some of the party members who had been just average before began to truly shine here.

“Hahaha, I played Virtual Warplane for more than ten years, and I can remain unscathed even in a hail of bullets. This little mini-game is easy as pie, haha...” A Human Violent Warrior called Green Umbrella Guest was especially outstanding. As soon as he understood the basics of the aircraft controls, he immediately gave chase. Not only did he surpass Wu Old Wolf and the mysterious woman in black, but he was also so OP as to surpass Li Yi’s current standings. By now, he had accumulated a combo of 115.

Li Yi was flabbergasted. He had not held back at all and had been fighting to the most of his ability this entire time. When faced with Green Umbrella Guest’s prowess, however, all he could do was stand back and watch in awe.

What defined a pro? The guy was the very epitome of a professional.

He flew his tattered aircraft overrun with black smoke and seemed to charge headfirst at the enemy. In fact, he was fighting at such close quarters it felt like he was stuck to the enemy plane. The old aircraft flew and flipped up and down, so that even the enemy warplane’s concentrated Fire Projectiles could not touch him.

There were OP players all the time, everywhere, and Li Yi had just bumped into another one.

Li Yi had no impression whatsoever of the player called Green Umbrella Guest. He was no BAMF from the later stages of the previous life. In fact, he was probably just a regular player. His only strength was that he was an expert in plane games.

Before, Li Yi was a hundred percent sure he could take down the second boss. Once Green Umbrella Guest appeared, his success rate immediately doubled, and now he was two hundred percent sure.

‘We got this in the bag!’

The five flying-bird warplane bosses were destroyed soon enough, and a piercing wail started in the sky ahead.

Creating the Ultimate Combat Weapon had always been the ultimate dream for the Dwarfs, and past generations of Dwarf Kings had all strove for that goal. However, at the end of the day, a dream did not equal to reality. No matter how brilliant the Dwarfs were with their minds and hands, they had yet to create the true Ultimate Combat Weapon to this day.

The destruction of Vladimir’s body had infuriated Ivrit to no end. He sacrificed many magic crystal rocks all so he could summon the first Dwarf King and then control the latter’s mind.

The second boss of the Fire Devil Dungeon was the first-generation Dwarf King commandeering the Ultimate Combat Weapon.

The bodies of countless Fire Dwarfs were sucked away, and the blaring of sirens in the distance grew ever more piercing. This indicated that the second boss battle was about to begin.

“Those with low combo figures, try not to kill the enemy planes. Leave some HP so that those with high combo figures can kill them.”

Li Yi shouted again.

They had no choice. If they relied only on themselves, the combo figure would not rise fast enough. At this rate, they would be at a disadvantage when the boss battle truly began.

At least ten people were positioned very close to Li Yi at the time. When they heard his shout, they immediately passed the enemies they had beaten to half health to him.

“Anyone else whose combo figure is no higher than 20, pass your dying enemies to the others right now!”

Li Yi shot out a series of Fire Projectiles and his combo figure instantly surpassed Green Umbrella Guest’s.

[Combo 121!]

[Combo 125!]

[Combo 130!]

When Li Yi’s combo figure rose to 150, a gust of faint red energy gushed out from the surface of the Red Flying Bird warplane that he was piloting. Its ATK was now at least double that of what it was initially.

‘It’s not enough, still not enough!’

“Keep going, keep going, bring all the dying enemy planes over here to me, hurry!”

Several dozen people all led their dying enemies to Li Yi, giving Li Yi’s combo figure another explosive leap upward.

[Combo 200!]

The Red Flying Bird warplane’s ATK was now 3 times the initial value. Right now, the power of his regular Fire Projectile shot was almost as strong as the fire cannon had been in the very beginning.

The fire cannon had also gotten stronger. With one cannon shot, even an enemy plane with full HP would be taken down to the last dregs of its health.

Now that his combo was higher than 200, Li Yi no longer needed others to pull dying warplanes to him as a supply.

“Continue pulling them, but pull them to Green Umbrella Guest first. Get his combo up to 200.”

Li Yi maneuvered the Red Flying Bird warplane, rushing into enemy lines. Activating his 5 seconds of invincibility, he launched a spread shot around him for a moment.

In order to have the Red Flying Bird Warplane unleash its fullest potential, the combo figure had to reach the adorable number of 250 ¹ . Of course, once someone had a combo of more than 200, they could easily kill the Metal Skin Birds flown by monsterlings all by themselves.

By the time the 5 seconds of invincibility ran out, all the monsterlings around Li Yi had fallen.

According to Li Yi’s instructions, the party members continued to pull the dying enemy warplanes toward the members with the higher combo figures, allowing the latter to finish the enemy off. With a support system like that, their own warplanes rapidly grew more formidable. Faced with the monsterlings, they were perfectly capable of bulldozing their way through.

10 large-sized flying-bird warplane bosses flew toward them. This was the last wave. Once they survived this set, the Ultimate Command Weapon would appear.

Although the party only had 40-odd warplanes left, the power of each individual warplane had increased, so the fighting did not last as long. Within a mere dozen minutes or so, they had taken down all 10 flying-bird warplane bosses.

“Warning, warning, the intruders have broken through our defenses. The Ultimate Weapon is beginning activation. Warning, warning, everyone must evacuate and protect the Ultimate Weapon as it activates!”

There was a series of electronic voices coming from the distance. All the warplanes flown by Fire Dwarfs turned around, one after the other, and fled from the battlefield.

Li Yi barked loudly, “Give chase and make sure to maintain the combo! You mustn’t let it break!”

More than 40 of their own warplanes gave chase, whistling through the wind. In order to maintain the combo, no one fired recklessly. Each person only shot down one enemy plane, ensuring that the combo did not break.

The enemy warplanes were retreating, and countless Fire Dwarf monsterlings running on the ground all dashed forward under the cover of their invincible Energy Barrier. The blaring of the sirens from ahead grew ever more intense.

“Barroom! Barroom!”

After a few explosions of sound, the party members suddenly lost control of their aircraft and were forced into an animated cutscene. It did not matter if you wanted to join this segment or not. Either way, you would be forced to watch the whole animation.

The first Dwarf King’s soul floated in mid-air, roaring madly. Countless Fire Dwarfs gathered around it, gradually fusing with it, one by one.

Steel and iron, flesh and blood. Fire Dwarfs amounting up to the tens of thousands fused together, creating the Dwarfs’ most powerful invention, the Ultimate Combat Weapon.

“Fuse, my brethren. Only with the help of your flesh and blood may we create the invincible Ultimate Combat Weapon. Come, for the common dream of us Dwarfs, fuse with me!”

The first Dwarf King was much crazier than Vladimir. He had completely lost all semblance of sanity and his existence had only one purpose: to complete the Dwarfs’ ultimate dream.

An enormous Dwarf, more than several hundred meters tall, appeared before everyone. It just had to stomp its foot slightly and a crack more than a thousand meters long would appear in the ground.

The number above the Super Giant Dwarf’s head showed that it had more than 70,000,000HP!

“What immense power! I can feel it, this... is the power of the Ultimate Combat Weapon. Hahahahaha, I can feel it, that wonderful power.”

“Barroom!”

While the first Dwarf King laughed maniacally, the Super Giant Dwarf tripped and fell to the ground, hard. All of its component parts scattered everywhere, its arms flying off, its head falling off, and it even lost both legs. All that remained was its torso, lying on the ground.

“No... This can’t be. I’ve already fortified its body with my soul, so why is this still happening? No...” The first Dwarf King roared in fury.

“My ancestor, please give up your foolish dream of completing this Ultimate Combat Weapon. It will only lead to endless disasters for the world, don’t you see that?”

Karone arrived in his Fiery Chariot, trying to advise the first Dwarf King.

“Endless disasters? O my descendant, are you reprimanding your ancestors?”

The first Dwarf King used all his power to piece the Super Giant Dwarf back together again.

“Karone doesn’t dare to reprimand you, but Karone has received a clear answer from the gods. The Ultimate Combat Weapon must not be allowed to appear in the world, o ancestor! Please forgive this unfilial descendant of yours, but I must destroy you!”

“Bang!”

Karone controlled the Fiery Chariot, launching a cannon shot at the Super Giant Dwarf. The figure indicating [−10,000,000] in damage appeared from the top of the Super Giant Dwarf’s head.

“No, you idiot, I forbid you from doing this. Stop!”

The Super Giant Dwarf roared as it reached for Karone with its giant palm.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Karone kept shooting it with his cannon. By the time the giant palm caught him, he had already taken 50,000,000HP off from the Super Giant Dwarf.

“Traitor who dares get in the way of the dream of all Dwarfs, on my name as the first Dwarf King, I shall punish you!”

The Super Giant Dwarf brought both its palms together, squashing Karone as well as his Fiery Chariot into pieces.

“Blood? This... this blood!”

A layer of pale golden light burst from the surface of the Super Giant Dwarf’s body. Karone’s blood had successfully completed the Ultimate Combat Weapon!

“Heroes, please accept Karone’s final request. Purify my ancestor’s soul and destroy the Ultimate Combat Weapon!”

Karone’s soul floated out and gave a blessing buff that increased all the party members’ ATK. After that, the soul vanished into thin air.

The long animation was over. The Dwarfs’ Ultimate Combat Weapon, the Super Giant Dwarf appeared before everyone’s eyes. The HP above its head was 20,031,020/70,000,000!

The second boss battle had officially begun!
