Chapter 390: Resolution
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Pretty Good Mood was successful in the binding contract?
How... How was it possible?
Even Li Yi could not believe his ears.
Great Commander Pretty Good Mood knew his stuff when it came to giving orders but sucked when it came to manual controls and luck. Whether it was farming monsters or PK, he could show you a 101 ways to die.
Li Yi recalled that Pretty Good Mood’s best summoned beast in the past life was a Level 100 Iron Bear King with 2,000,000 HP, low ATK but high DEF. It could use Battle Howl to pull group aggro.
Only...
A Level 100 Iron Bear King was no match for a Scarab King!
Scarab King’s HP was a whopping ninety million and has three times DEF of Iron Bear King. Its ATK was comparable to a Violent Warrior of the same level. The only flaw was its narrow vision that could not detect enemies past a 10-yard distance. Even if the master ordered to pursue, it would slowly move its way. It’s terrifying SPD would only make its appearance within that 10-yard radius.
Labyrinth killer!
It was fully worthy of its name.
A Pet Archer could subdue a Scarab King as a pet and it had 100 times the capture success rate of a Contract Summoner. However, upon capture, Scarab King’s HP would drop to several thousand while it’s DEF and ATK would experience massive reduction as well. Scarab King’s abilities then, would not live up to its name.
It was different with Contract Summoners. As long as the contract was binding, the summoned beast retained its original abilities. It could also increase its attributes through equipment and skills. The only flaw would be its inability to level up. Whatever level it was captured at, it would be retained and could not level up any further.
Pretty Good Mood may have had bad luck in the past life but Pale Blue Elegance enjoyed better luck and had better perseverance. She was the first person to contract a Scarab King in the past life and pioneered the Contract Summoner trend for many years to come.
Li Yi would not be surprised if Pale Blue Elegance succeeded in the binding contract because she was blessed with luck. Pretty Good Mood, on the other hand...
“I really did contracted it! This pet’s awesome. 90,000,000 HP, 30,000 ATK...” Pretty Good Mood’s words were casual but his excitement was written all over his tone.
Li Yi yelled at Windless Heavenly Robe, “Heavenly Robe, pull aggro and hold out for a minute!”
“Alright!”
Windless Heavenly Robe single-handedly kited Frog Queen, moving forward and backward. Li Yi pulled out his friend summoning tool to reel Pretty Good Mood and Pale Blue Elegance over. He wanted to pull Jiaojiao as well but she rejected it.
Li Yi smiled at Pretty Good Mood, “Go on, test out your summoned beast.”
“Watch me!”
Pretty Good Mood was bursting with energy as he pointed his Golden Broccoli Stalk at the ground, prompting the appearance of a thrilling Scarab King.
“Kill!”
Pretty Good Mood directed his staff at Frog Queen. Scarab King stalked leisurely as it closed in.
The target was more than ten yards away. Scarab King could not bring its SPD to play.
“Great Commander, can we summon our pets next to the monster the next time?” Li Yi took a dig at Pretty Good Mood while casting Mislead at Scarab King and shooting at Frog Queen to pull aggro.
Pretty Good Mood blushed with embarrassment but that did not stop Pale Blue Elegance from chuckling from the side.
Windless Heavenly Robe withheld his attack and with Mislead in effect, Frog Queen went straight for Scarab King.
Tst tst tst tst!
With Frog Queen now within the 10-yard radius, Scarab King let out trills before swarming towards Frog Queen with Relentless Tackle.
[-21221]
[-18976]
[-23221]
Pretty Good Mood was yelling out in excitement seeing the high damage caused by Scarab King. He was simply filled with joy. From the time he started this game, he never felt so invigorated.
He has always been on a losing streak and now things have turned for the better!
When Scarab King knocked over 700,000 HP off Frog Queen, the latter raised its Divine Jade up high.
“Retreat! It’s going to unleash Devour Flesh. Everyone, move back!” Li Yi sensed trouble and immediately called for the entire party to move out of the way.
Li Yi retreated, so did Pale Blue Elegance, Windless Heavenly Robe, even Hua Feihua who was far at the back. It was only Pretty Good Mood who did not...
He did not move back. Instead, he ran towards Frog Queen.
“F*ck me, what’re you doing?” Li Yi barked in panic.
Pretty Good Mood stopped his tracks and turned back. He screamed back as he paddled his legs, “I... I ran the wrong way.”
Too late!
With Devour Flesh at full swing, Pretty Good Mood’s HP was drained dry. Poor Scarab King. Even with 90,000,000 HP, if its master was dead, it could not live. Letting out a long wail, it fell dead onto the ground...
“I’ve seen some noobs in my life, but it’s my first time witnessing one this bad,” Hua Feihua could not help but remark.
“I’ve got too nervous and mindlessly ran. There won’t be a next time...” Pretty Good Mood lay on the ground explaining, regardless if they were listening or not.
Scarab King, this powerful combat source was lost due to the fault of its master.
Nevertheless, Frog Queen only has 1.21 million HP left. It would not be long before it fell.
Li Yi broke away from battle through Camouflage. He attempted to revive Pretty Good Mood with Cardiac Pacemaker Model V5 but his luck ran out as the Pacemaker could not deliver its dose of electric current. The resurrection was a failure.
“Run your corpse, and quick!”
“Sigh...”
The battle was still going on. It was still Windless Heavenly Robe pairing with Li Yi while Hua Feihua stayed far behind to heal and Pale Blue Elegance watching intently.
Frog Queen was leaping left and right, croaking endlessly in anger. Each time Li Yi and Windless Heavenly Robe pulled aggro, they had to make a quick hit and flee. It was becoming a struggle to continue the battle.
“Sigh, it’d be great if I could’ve contracted Scarab King,” Pale Blue Elegance watched, itching to try her hand but she would not be of much help at her current level.
“Master, is there any more Scarab Kings around here?”
“Nope, Scarab King is a random spawn in the labyrinth map. It’ll only spawn here once. It spawns around the four continents and is hard to come by,” Li Yi replied while still fighting.
“Is there any great monsters that I could contract here?”
“I’m not too sure about that. Labyrinth bosses are random spawns.”
As they spoke, Frog Queen’s HP dropped to around 500,000. Its attacks were growing hectic. It was then Pretty Good Mood and made his way back from running corpse. He immediately summoned Scarab King out.
With Scarab King back in the battle, Li Yi and Windless Heavenly Robe felt a massive reduction in pressure.
They did not have to do anything and left Scarab King to do its thing with Frog Queen.
“Mood, stand further away. Don’t die.”
“Ah, don’t worry. I won’t die this time,” Pretty Good Mood nodded and ran behind Li Yi.
Contract Summoners could not be too far apart from their summoned beast as their summoned beast would disperse if they could not see their master. An Archer’s Pet has more liberty than a summoned beast on this point.
Frog Queen’s HP was plummeting fast and although it heightened the frequency of Devour Flesh, it could not drain Scarab King’s 90,000,000 HP fast enough, knocking only 20,000 HP off each time. In mere seconds, the odds were against Frog Queen.
Li Yi sent a message to Hua Feihua, “Quit your party.”
Hua Feihua acknowledged and quit her party to join Li Yi’s party.
Li Yi did not want to be in debt to her after her help in healing.
“Croak croak croak—”
When there was only 1 point left in Frog Queen’s HP, its body turned red as it raised the Divine Jade to chant.
The air billowed out and became dark. Whirlwinds began to surge. A red skull appeared on top of Frog Queen’s No.1 aggro target and Scarab King’s master, Pretty Good Mood.
Li Yi was the fastest to react as he cried out, “It’s Immortal Darkness! Gather over at Pretty Good Mood!”
Immortal Darkness was an AoE skill with ATK range up to 500 yards. Once triggered, there was nowhere to hide. It was one of the highest damage inflicting Epic-level skill in Black Magic.
“Don’t move, Mood. You’ll die if you move. Everyone, keep up or you’ll die!”
Everyone ran towards Pretty Good Mood but the latter, in contrast, was at a loss. He wanted to run yet did not dare to run. He stood there with a silly look on his face.
“Immortal — Darkness!”
Tch tch—
With Immortal Darkness activated, the passageway was plunged in complete darkness.
Tch tch—
The black smoke thickened and a buzzing sound went on for 20 seconds.
Once the black smoke evaporated, the scene in the passageway left Li Yi speechless.
The No.1 aggro target, Pretty Good Mood must have done something as he was now lying on the ground. Windless Heavenly Robe died hugging onto a stone pillar. Hua Feihua and Pale Blue Elegance stood by his side and were still alive.
Afar, Scumbag Wang and Hua Feiwu embraced each other in death. Red Wolf and Gray Wolf who were 300 yards away, also too dropped dead.
“What’s going on? Why are they dead?” Pale Blue Elegance was shocked.
“There’s only one way to evade Immortal Darkness and that’s by getting close to the red skull target. We’ll split the damage if we stand together. If it’s only one person, then he will take the full 60,000 HP would be taken off. If two were to stand together, then they would take 30,000 HP each instead. If three were to stand together, Immortal’s effect would be fully reduced and each person would only suffer 500 HP off,” Li Yi patiently explained.
Pale Blue Elegance pointed at Pretty Good Mood’s corpse in confusion, “If the four of us stood together, why is he dead?”
“My guess is he moved. Anyone with the red skull would lose 5,000 HP with each step.”
“Hahaha—” Pale Blue Elegance could not hold her laughter in. Even as a newbie, she could tell Pretty Good Mood was quite the noob...

Just as the announcement in red was spamming, Li Yi quickly ran toward Frog Queen’s corpse to grab the Divine Jade.
It was done!
