Chapter 322: In the Name of Justice
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In his previous life, Li Yi had attempted to slay Akna three times in total. However, he had only succeeded once, in the other two times, his kills were stolen by other players.
Akna was an Undead Summoner, she would only drop Undead Summoner related Skill Tomes or equipment. Naturally, a Level 100 epic-level boss’ drops would not be trash, as each piece would send any Undead Summoner into a frenzy.
Akna’s HP could reach 90,000,000, and her attacks were ordinary. However, her Summoning Spells were crazy OP as she could endlessly summon small monsters. Fighting her was a headache, even in Li Yi’s previous life, he had to rely on his weapon’s draining effects to grind her down.
Akna raised her Bone Shield and continuously waved the pitch-black staff in her hand, summoning skeletal crows, skeletal bats and various other undead creatures, which immediately enveloped the area and swooped murderously towards Yuria.
Yuria lifted her hands and cast Eliminate, killing off several hundreds of undead creatures. She turned her head towards Li Yi and shouted, “Young hero, please get on my dragon’s back, or else Yuria cannot protect you.”
“Okay...”
Li Yi urged his mount to fly above the red proto-dragon whelp. Once there, he dived down towards it.
‘To think that I was right, it really is a follow-up quest!”
When Li Yi got on the dragon’s back, a quest notification popped up.
[Quest Title: In the Name of Justice!]
[Quest Details: Assist Yuria to kill Akna!]
[Quest Rewards: ???]
After seeing the quest details, Li Yi’s doubts were resolved. He drew his bow and fired.

His attacks could not penetrate Akna’s defense at all, but this was of little consequence as he only needed to “assist” Yuria.
Yuria’s attack was scarily powerful, she was a Shooting Path Archer and the skill she used was the Chain Arrow Skill’s evolved form, Meteor Arrow Skill.
Endlessly, arrows were shot one after another and there was not a single sloppy arrow. Akna maneuvered her skeletal dragon evasively, but there was still a huge portion of arrows that landed, and each arrow had reduced around 30,000 of her HP.
‘This attack prowess is terrifying indeed!’
Akna’s Bone Shield’s special effect was constantly active, it had already reduced 50% of the damage received. Had it not been for the Bone Shield, each of Yuria’s arrows could have taken out 60,000 of Akna’s HP.
Yuria might be strong, but Akna was no slouch either. With each wave of the black staff in her hand, a huge number of undead creatures would be summoned, and this was only in the air. If they had fought on the ground, she would have summoned much more types of undead.
The overwhelming numbers of skeletal crows and skeletal bats continuously swarmed towards Yuria. The red proto-dragon whelp used its dragon breath to wipe out a huge number of them, and so did Yuria’s Meteor Arrow Skill. However, there was still a huge portion of them that made it through, and they rushed towards their targets.
The little skeletal crows and skeletal bats had covered every inch of the red proto-dragon whelp and every bite they made had dealt over a thousand damage.
All non-combat mounts do not have HP, but combat mounts do. The red proto-dragon whelp had an HP of 5,000,000, so it had no trouble enduring it, but if they dragged it out, tragedy would ensue.
Li Yi would have to clean up the undead creatures on the proto-dragon whelp’s body.
The skeletal crows have 5,000 HP, and the skeletal bats have 2,800 HP. In short, Li Yi only needed an arrow to settle each of them. He might not be able to hurt Akna, but cleaning up these summoned monsterlings was no problem at all.
Li Yi summoned Lightning Leopard and allowed it to fight on the dragon’s back. With the combined power of beast and man, the process of defeating the undead creatures had become significantly faster.
Yuria’s HP was the same as Akna’s. Yuria had the upper hand in the beginning, but once Akna’s HP dropped to around 50,000,000, the situation changed.
Akna used Sacrificial Summon and sacrificed 10,000,000 of her HP to summon King of Hundred Skulls.
King of Hundred Skulls was an undead creature composed of a 100 human skulls, it not only required a blood sacrifice when summoning, but it would also continuously drain its masters’ health when it is summoned. However, the creature’s attacks were very powerful, so it was hard to deal with.
100 human skulls flew around, congregating at times and at times, separated instead. Its attack style was unique as it flies out to chomp its targets down.
Yuria could no longer fire “Meteor Arrow Skill”, as she had carelessly allowed three of the skulls to bite her, instantly collapsing. This was the special effect of King of Hundred Skulls’ attack, it paralyzes its targets.
“Young hero, please help me...”
Yuria painfully cried to Li Yi for help.
Smack!
Li Yi let loose an arrow and [−6543] appeared above the skull. However, before Li Yi was able to shoot his second arrow, the skull glowed red and drained the HP from Yuria’s body, instantly regaining what it had lost.
Li Yi continued shooting, and the skull continued to regenerate. After three times, Li Yi finally realized that although the skull only had 20,000 HP, if he could not kill it in one hit, it would continuously drain Yuria’s HP to heal itself.
Li Yi ran towards it and smacked the Skull away.
As the skull on Yuria’s back flung away, Yuria’s body had recovered slightly, she shot an arrow that immediately shattered the skull. The second skull on her leg was also easily swatted aside by Li Yi, and once again, Yuria shot an arrow that immediately shattered it. With that, the paralysis inflicted on her had been greatly reduced.
Yuria’s face was contorted in agony, and she could only appease her anger by violently crushing the last skull.
There were 100 skulls, but each one that was defeated would be permanently lost, and if one were to get bitten by three of the skulls simultaneously, they would be paralyzed as well.
Due to the appearance of King of Hundred Skulls, Yuria’s HP decreased at a rapid rate. When Akna’s HP was at 10,000,000, Yuria’s HP was at 13,000,000, only beating Akna by a small margin.
‘The mission fails if Yuria dies!’
Li Yi was getting desperate, he no longer aimed carefully. When he saw a large mass of undead creatures coming over, he immediately used Shoot at Random because he realized, that in this Boss Level battle, he would not receive Aggro no matter what skill he used.
If no one would attack him, he could rampage as he wished.
Compared to Li Yi’s peaceful scenario, Yuria’s situation was way worse. She was bitten by the skulls continuously, even her bosom and bottom had not been spared, and worse still, she was bitten on the lips. When Li Yi arrived to get the skull off, her elegant small lips had already swelled to fat sausages.
“Yuria, you despicable woman! Why did you steal my lover?” Akna furiously howled.
“Akna, Andrew never loved you. As if killing him wasn’t enough, you still dare to take away his only remaining possession? I WILL ... DEFINITELY, NOT, ALLOW, IT!”
“You b*tch! Return the ring to me!”
Spectating the scene, Li Yi had comprehended the situation. The two of them liked a Wizard named ‘Andrew’, but from the inscription carved onto the purple ring, the person Andrew likes should be Yuria...
Li Yi was not interested in their love triangle, he only wanted to finish the battle quickly to know what the reward was.
“We’ll settle this with a single blow! If you win, I’ll willingly give you the ring, but if you lose, never come near me again.”
Yuria drew back the Bone Longbow until it was taut. This time, she did not use any ordinary arrows, and instead, congregated her aura to produce a black arrow.
Ding!
A pleasant sound rang into Li Yi’s ears and he received a system notification.
[You have carefully observed Yuria’s arrow skills and received a new understanding. Congratulations! Your Archery Omnipotence realm has been upgraded to Heart of a Clear Mirror!]
[Level 1 Heart of a Clear Mirror: Provides various buffs. (Lasts for two minutes, cooldown time: 20 minutes) Increases the observation skills of Archers. Allows the general location of the enemy to be shown in the minimap. Reduces the chances of being afflicted by abnormal statuses by 50%. Increases evasion by 20%. Furthermore, increase self-attributes by 2% when buffed]
‘Reduced chance of abnormal status by 50%! Self-attributes increased by 2%!’
‘What will happen if I upgrade this skill to Level 20?’ Li Yi was amazed.
He had indeed heard of Heart of a Clear Mirror before, but he always thought it was a skill that was learned from skill tomes. Now he understood, that it was actually a skill obtained from Archery Omnipotence Realm...
‘Shoot Until Daybreak, you are certainly not an ordinary person. If I had not taken your purple ring, you would probably have claimed it all for yourself, right?’
Yuria exhaled gently and released the black arrow.
Tch—Tch—
Two swishing sounds filled the air and the black arrow left the bow.
Bang!
[-3,000,000] suddenly exploded above Akna’s head. It had not even taken one second for the shooting and striking.
This was Yuria’s ultimate, Spirit Arrow!
“Don’t think that you’ll get away with this even if I died!”
Akna waved her staff, summoning undead creatures once more.
Akna’s attack had also changed, the undead creatures she summoned had one new ability, Self-Destruct!’
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless skeletal crows and skeletal bats exploded, enveloping Yuria’s face with ash and soot. Li Yi had not been spared and had almost lost his life in the bombing. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and cast Keep Going if Alive, sparing his life.
The two boss-level characters continued to clash and the red proto-dragon whelp clashed with the skeletal dragon, it was a fierce battle. However, Yuria’s skill had the upper hand in the end. She fired another Spirit Arrow, defeating Akna at last.
The skeletal dragon collapsed and Akna screamed desperately as she plummeted towards the ground...
[Congratulations! You have successfully assisted Yuria to defeat Akna. Yuria’s affinity towards you has increased by 10,000 points!]
“Thank you, young ...”
Yuria turned her head and flashed Li Yi a gentle smile. Halfway through her words her body suddenly went limp and she fell off the dragon’s back...
She only had around 10,000 HP remaining. Akna’s final strike had caused serious injury to her.
Li Yi quickly reacted, immediately jumping down and catching Yuria mid-air.
“ROAR—”
The red proto-dragon whelp reacted as well, firmly grasping the both of them as they fell.
[Yuria’s affinity toward you has increased by 500 points.]
The red proto-dragon whelp was injured and his stamina was also depleted. Thus, it gradually descended to the ground.
Yuria was unconscious, and the red proto-dragon whelp lay on the ground, panting; and on the ground not far from there laid Akna’s corpse.
`Do I need to protect Yuria until she wakes?’
Li Yi was in a bind.
He was in the Southern Continent, and there were millions of players searching for him across the world. What would happen if they knew he was here?
Li Yi looked at Akna’s corpse and a thought flashed across his mind.
“If I helped an NPC to kill a world boss, could I loot it corpse?”
‘How would I know if I don’t try?’
Li Yi rubbed his hands and walked towards Akna.
