MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

Chapter 198: The Baseball Elder

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Meteor was a rare skill that Dark Wizards could learn when they had reached Level 55. Its initial attack range was 30 yards, and it increased by 5 yards for every level achieved. A Dark Wizard with Meteor leveled up fully to Level 20 was a formidable foe indeed, capable of decimating several thousand enemies with one blow.

Meteor had an immense range and dealt a great deal of damage as well, but this skill had one flaw. When it was cast. The meteors did not distinguish between friend and foe. The user of the Meteor skill was exempted from taking damage, but anyone else who was in the range of the Meteor attack would definitely suffer damage.

The reason Li Yi had pulled the Octobull here was so that he could kill it with Ofrey’s Meteor.

The HP in the Octobull’s eight tentacles kept dropping. When the tentacles had only half of their HP left, the Octobull flew into a rage as well. His bullhead opened his mouth wide and roared, emitting sound waves.

The Octobull’s sound wave attack was similar to Meteor in that they both attacked everyone indiscriminately. Ofrey, who was floating in mid-air, was hit by the sound wave, and immediately took [−100,000] in damage.

The two bosses’ powerful moves stopped at almost the exact same time. By then, Goska only had less than 100,000HP left. He was at death’s door.

“Awooo— Goska can’t take it anymore, Goska’s hungry...”

Goska’s mind kept wavering. Li Yi had to use the Magic Crystal to suppress him 4 or 5 times before he finally got Goska to quiet down again.

Li Yi leaped down from Goska and got onto the Mermaid Princess, attacking the tentacles with the most HP remaining.

The asteroids from Meteor fell indiscriminately, but some areas saw more concentrated comet rain, while other areas had very few meteors. As a result, the eight tentacles had varying amounts of HP left. He needed to make them uniform again, and Goska could not be relied on for such a delicate task. Li Yi had no choice but to do it himself.

The two bosses came from the same side, so even if they could harm each other, they would never attack each other willingly. Their target never changed.

The two bosses rushed at him at the same time. Li Yi used the Mermaid Princess’ SPD to retreat as he fought, slowly luring the two bosses away.

Goska did not have much HP left, so he would definitely die if he continued fighting like this. That was why he had no choice but to lure the two bosses away, in order to keep Goska alive.

Ofrey was using Meteor again, and the sound wave attack was revving up once more as well. Li Yi used the Mermaid Princess’ special skill, Acceleration, to avoid the sound wave attack and weaved between the falling asteroids.

The asteroids fell in an extremely concentrated rain, but Li Yi could dodge them easily.

The two bosses rapidly lost HP, and the only thing Li Yi had to do was adjust their HP. He would shoot whichever boss had more HP so that their health bars were always in sync.

He was soloing two bosses at the same time, but he was not even breaking a sweat. That was because Li Yi had yet to lose even 1HP up to this point.

He remembered how, in the past life, the first person to solo the Tidal Throne Dungeon was Lonely Semi City, the Fire Emperor. Back then, he had successfully soloed the dungeon at Level 65. A player who refused to admit defeat then said to him, pull two bosses together and farm them together if you got the balls for it.

That had originated as a joke, but Lonely Semi City actually accomplished it. He tried 13 times before he finally succeeded in pulling the two bosses together, soloing them both. This incident also earned him the title of Fire Emperor.

After that, many people tried to recreate this, but the results were not very encouraging. There were some people at the higher levels who forced their way through using the sheer power of their equipment, but there was no other player under Level 70, among the tens of millions of players, who could manage to solo these two bosses from the Tidal Throne Dungeon.

It was easy in the early stages, but the hardest part was when the two bosses were low on HP.

The Octobull had an Innate Ability called Regen, so its HP was constantly recovering. Ofrey, on the other hand, was immune to all crowd control skills, and the Dark Spells it cast could not be interrupted either. If Li Yi was so much as grazed by one skill, that would probably mean an immediate end to his solo attempt.

Li Yi shot as he ran. When the boss moved forward, he moved back. When the boss moved back, he moved forward. It looked simple, but in truth, he was always standing at the edge of Ofrey’s Dark Magic range.

He was not standing outside the range, but on the very edge of the range itself, precise down to the decimal!

If he took one step backward, he would be out of range. One step forward, and he would be within range. That was Li Yi’s current position.

If he stood out of range, Ofrey would not use his magic. If he stood within range, Ofrey’s spell would instantly lock onto him, and then he would not be able to dodge the spell no matter how he tried. The only way to get around this was to do as Li Yi was doing. He would lure Ofrey into casting the spell and then take one step backward so that the spell was rendered ineffective. He intended to repeat this over and over again until Ofrey died.

As for the Octobull, he was even easier to deal with. Once this guy was down to a certain amount of HP, he would stop pursuing his target. Instead, he would just stay at the same spot, spewing out green ink to pollute the water around him. The green ink was poisonous, so if a player was touched by it, they would lose 2,000HP per second. Of course, this applied to Ofrey as well.

The video of the Fire Emperor, Lonely Semi City’s solo fight had been publicly released almost immediately, but in truth, not a single person could truly solo these two bosses.

Li Yi had attempted it as well in the past life. However, since Thieves could not use any ranged attacks (they could throw hidden weapons, but the range was 15 yards and the damage was enough to cry over), he had tried more than 30 times and not one attempt ended well.

‘It’s not that I’m not good enough, it’s just that melee classes simply can’t solo these two bosses.’

In the past life, Li Yi had even posted on the forum about this, but as soon as the post was published, others started flaming him. That was because no one cared about his skills. All they could see, the only thing that mattered in their eyes, was that he was a big cheater.

There was no helping it. His reputation as a cheater was just too overwhelming in the past life, overshadowing all of his other characteristics.

This time, Li Yi was proving with his actions that he could also solo two bosses!

Just as in the video Lonely Semi City posted, Ofrey was the first to fall. The Octobull’s eight tentacles had long since been destroyed as well so that all that remained was his bullhead capable of emitting sound waves.

The sound wave attack could not be faced head-on, but the Octobull could not turn his head without his tentacles. All Li Yi had to do was go around him, and then he would be able to deal all the damage he wanted.

The green ink and sound waves could not touch Li Yi at all, so he was left to deal the damage freely. It only took Li Yi five minutes to kill off the Octobull.

The two bosses lay dead on the ground, one on his left and the other on his right. Looking at the scene of his masterpiece, Li Yi smiled from the bottom of his heart.

He had already recorded the battle, and he was thinking of posting this video before the Fire Emperor, Lonely Semi City. released his solo video...

Li Yi went to loot the bodies but only obtained two pieces of blue equipment that he could not use from the two bosses. There was no helping it, the drop rates of a blue-name boss were just too low.

The Little Murloc Rudderman leaped out again. “Wow, you actually killed Ofrey and the Octobull. You’re too good, Human. Do you wanna shatter the Magic Crystals they were guarding? If you break Ofrey’s crystal, you get an additional 30% damage reduction, and shattering Octobull’s crystal will give you an extra 30% resistance.”

Li Yi ignored Rudderman and took control of Goska, heading towards the location of the last murloc boss.

In the depths of Tidal Throne, a large white crab sat comfortably on a sparkling platform, enjoying the services of two pretty female murlocs.

This white crab was the strongest murloc, known as the Baseball Elder, Buo the Murloc. The number above his head showed that he had 7,000,000HP!

Before being transformed by the Vile King, the Baseball Elder did not look like a crab. Instead, he looked like a normal murloc, the only difference being the color of his skin. However, he strongly insisted that the Vile King transform him so that he would now look like a crab.

The backstory of Tidal Throne was that the Baseball Elder Buo had conspired with the Vile King to kill the Murloc Chief. As it had always been a concern that the Murloc Chief’s children would come looking for revenge, he had insisted that the Vile King transform him so that he would look like this...

Goska only had 100,000HP left, and the only murloc monsterlings left in the Tidal Throne Dungeon were these two females next to the Baseball Elder.

Under Li Yi’s control, Goska rushed in and grabbed one of the female murlocs, swallowing it. His HP immediately rose by 30%, and then he quickly used Furious Strike to send the Baseball Elder flying several meters away. After that, he grabbed the other female murloc and swallowed her in one gulp.

Now that he had eaten the two female murlocs, Goska’s HP rose by 60%. He now had more than 700,000HP.

“Oh, no! My beauties! Goska, you moron, I won’t forgive you!”

The Baseball Elder stood up furiously and sent a flying kick their way. Li Yi controlled Goska into dodging, and then he quickly leaped down. Without even summoning the Mermaid Princess, he began to shoot the elder fiercely.

He quickly pulled the boss’ aggro. The Baseball Elder gave up on Goska and pounced at Li Yi instead.

“Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!”

The Baseball Elder did not attack Li Yi directly. Instead, he flashed his claws and indicated that he wanted to play a game.

Three large options appeared before Li Yi’s eyes.

Rock, paper, scissors!

The Baseball Elder was a special boss. He was extremely fond of playing rock-paper-scissors, so he would always play with his opponent before attacking. If he lost, he would not be able to move for 10 seconds as punishment. If he won, his opponent would not be able to move for 10 seconds instead.

Of course, because the King of Pantheon game was relatively open, players who did not like to play could also choose to just fight the Baseball Elder as usual. However, since the Baseball Elder was too powerful, very few people could defeat him on equal terms.

“Rock!”

Li Yi made his move, choosing rock. On the other hand, the Baseball Elder’s choice was... scissors!

“Bang!”

As though hit by a punch, the Baseball Elder held his hand with the other and moaned, “Why rock? Why was it rock? Why did he choose rock?”

Li Yi made the most of his time, drawing his bow and shooting fiercely...

[−3,210]

[−2,345]

[−2,556]

Within 10 seconds, Li Yi had taken 20,000HP from the Baseball Elder.

“Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!”

The system notifications rang out again. The Baseball Elder recovered and gestured at Li Yi again, indicating that he wanted to continue the game.

“Rock!”

Li Yi made his move again, and the Baseball Elder’s choice was still... scissors!

“Bang!” The Baseball Elder was knocked out again.

“Why is it rock? Why rock? Why did he choose rock?” yelled the Baseball Elder, holding his head.
