MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

Chapter 501: Entirely Based On Luck

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Guild Master Dark Wing, the Frost Cell Ice Crystal Rock belongs to you.” Faded Cloud Breeze’s tone was very insistent.

Seemingly unintentionally, Li Yi’s eyes trailed onto the Robes of Inspiration that Faded Cloud Breeze was currently holding. He chuckled, “Since this is a Roll Party, no one should have any advantage here. Rolling will dictate all outcomes.” ¹

“Nice!”

“That’s great! Rolling decides everything here!”

“Guild Master Dark Wing is spot on. Hahaha, I like him...”

“This is how a true Guild Master from a major guild should act. Take note, Faded Cloud Breeze!”

The fact that they had one more chance to roll for the item was no doubt exciting news for all players that were present. This was the Frost Cell Ice Crystal Rock that they were talking about! It was one of the rarest items in the game and had incredible stats. If they had the chance, who would not want to have it?

Li Yi gazed at Faded Cloud Breeze, still laughing. He did not reply.

A multitude of emotions showed on Faded Cloud Breeze’s face. Then, he laughed abruptly and passed the Frost Ring to I’m Not An Animal. He clapped and cheered, “Guild Master Dark Wing truly has the demeanour of a noble. I’m incredibly impressed. In that case, deference is a better way of showing respect than outward reverence. Let’s just follow Guild Master Dark Wing’s wishes.”

“Thank you, thank you, thank you...” I’m Not An Animal gazed gratefully at Li Yi and could not stop himself from thanking the Guild Master repeatedly. Were it not for Li Yi, there was no way that he would have gotten the Frost Ring.

Li Yi waved him off. “There’s no need to thank me. It’s what you deserved.”

“Start rolling!”

Everyone in the party started to roll. Faded Cloud Breeze grit his teeth as he stared at the Frost Cell Ice Crystal Rock in Li Yi’s hand. If he could, he would have swallowed it into his stomach without hesitation.

Once the party leader has allocated an item to someone, there was no way that the item could be reclaimed from that person. Basically, if Li Yi had not announced that they would roll for it, the Frost Cell Ice Crystal Rock would have been his.

The Frost Cell Ice Crystal Rock was indeed valuable, but Li Yi was unwilling to take it because it meant that he would owe a favour to the Fluttering Snow Alliance. Aside from that, the Iron Alliance was still rapidly developing. Even though they had no problems controlling the entirety of the Invincible Continent, they were still miles away from the scale where they could expand their influence onto the other two continents.

Because of the long-term plans that he had, Li Yi could never take this Frost Cell Ice Crystal Block for himself.

As for the Fluttering Snow Alliance, Li Yi had taken the stance that he would leave the Alliance to do their own thing. Li Yi did not have any good impressions whatsoever when it came to them. Until today, Li Yi still did not understand the reason why he had been hunted down by them for years on end in his past life.

The rolling has started. Even though many were involved in this rolling, the roll system was designed specifically so that those with low points in each roll will be automatically eliminated. Those with higher points would be automatically advanced to the next roll.

This time, it only took 5 rolls to determine the owner of the Frost Cell Ice Crystal Rock.

It was neither Li Yi or Faded Cloud Breeze. In fact, it was none of the players at the scene. Instead, it was Brother Windcloud Nine, who was still running towards the party from far away...

Brother Windcloud Nine had made a long-distance roll, and immediately outshone everyone with a full 100 points!

All members of the party that was involved in the battle had the right to roll, whether they were dead or alive. Brother Windcloud Nine was one of the main contributors in the battle, and he naturally had the right to roll for the Rock too. However, no one had imagined that Brother Windcloud Nine would be lucky enough to actually win the roll.

Since the roll system was entirely based on luck. No one knew what points they would be able to roll each time.

“Congratulations, Brother Nine. The Frost Cell Ice Crystal Rock is yours.”

“Did I win? Hahahahaha, good, good...” Brother Windcloud Nine was overjoyed.

Li Yi laughed, “Of course you won. Should I mail the equipment to you, or would you prefer for me to pass it directly to you?”

Li Yi had a Portable Automated Trading Robot that allowed players to mail items anytime, anywhere using its portable mail system.

“It’s best if you could wait for a bit. I don’t have a portable mailbox with me. If you were to mail it to me, I’d have to return to the city to retrieve it.”

“Alright, I’ll wait for you then.”

“Brother Nine, do you still want the Frost Ring?” I’m Not An Animal asked softly.

“Yes, of course, I still want it. I’ll buy it for 1,000,000 Gold Coins, nothing less!”

“Great, great. I’ll wait for you here as well...” I’m Not An Animal so ecstatic that his green-skinned face was flushed with an exciting shade of red.

Since the Frost Cell was cleared, the temporary party disbanded itself. The passageway ahead had opened, and the players that were impatient had immediately run into it as fast as they could.

Excluding the hidden boss in the light labyrinth, there was only the final boss left within Glory. Killing it meant that they will be able to get a First Kill for the entire instance dungeon!

The first half of Glory required a large number of players to clear. However, the same did not apply the second half, especially when players were facing the final Boss. At that stage, what was tested was no longer the number of players but individual capabilities!

Almost 5000 players had flooded the opened passage. Only a small portion of players, such as those from the Iron Alliance and the Windcloud Clan had chosen to stay where they were.

The Iron Alliance had suffered a significant amount of casualties after the previous battle, and the Windcloud Clan shared similar circumstances. While Li Yi was waiting to meet up with Brother Windcloud Nine, he was also waiting for his previously dead comrades from the Iron Alliance to catch up.

The final Boss was still quite a distance away from his current location. Naturally, it would be safer for him to go with as many people as possible.

Waiting was always a long process. To reach here from the entrance of the dungeon, the players would need to kill both the rayman minions and the rayman boss. Then, they would need to go through the light labyrinth. These were the three lines of defense. It was entirely impossible to hope that the party could make it here without any casualties.

The players that had died took the initiative to form a group to charge through the three lines of defense together. Li Yi logged off and took a nap. When he woke up, the latest information that was delivered to him was that the battalion was almost out of the light labyrinth.

Another hour passed before Brother Windcloud Nine escaped the light labyrinth. Li Yi was slightly surprised when he saw Sister Windcloud Nine emerging after Brother Windcloud Nine. He could not stop himself from gasping at the wonders of nature, he could never imagine how a person as weak as Sister Windcloud Nine could have made it past the light labyrinth...

On the other hand, tragedy had befallen Jiaojiao, Xu Man and her sister as they had perished by the hands of the rayman boss. Only Little Elf from the Magical Realm was lucky enough to join ranks with the rest of the army.

Li Yi handed the Frost Cell Ice Crystal Rock to Brother Windcloud Nine.

When Sister Windcloud Nine caught a glance of Li Yi, she became so terrified that her face paled into a shade of sickly white. She hid behind Brother Windcloud Nine and clutched tightly at him, and she looked as if she had been harassed by Li Yi before.

When Brother Windcloud Nine took the Frost Cell Ice Crystal Rock, he passed 3,000,000 Gold Coins to Li Yi.

“I said it before. No matter who it was that gave me the Frost Cell Ice Crystal Rock, they would receive 3,000,000 from me!”

“This was yours because of your roll. There is no need for you to give me this money.”

“How would I have rolled for it if you hadn’t given it up in the first place? Even though I wasn’t here, I could see what was happening.”

Brother Windcloud Nine turned and traded with I’m Not An Animal. He spent another million to buy the Frost Ring.

“All of my friends still in the area will get 10,000 Gold Coins each!”

“Wow...”

“Brother Nine, you’re a great man!”

“Brother Nine, is your Windcloud Clan still recruiting? If you still need people, I’d be willing to join you at any time.”

“That’s right, I want to go over too...”

Cheers erupted around the area. It was an unarguable fact that all of Brother Windcloud Nine’s actions were extremely generous.

“Thank you, Brother Nine. Thank you, Guild Master Dark Wing.”

I’m Not An Animal was so excited that he was practically vibrating. A million Gold Coins. He had never dreamt that he would actually own this much money...

Since he was already satisfied with what he got, I’m Not An Animal did not continue his journey. Instead, he killed himself so he could exit the dungeon and return to his country.

Three hours later, Li Yi’s mailbox chimed. I’m Not An Animal had sent him 200,000 Gold Coins...

Li Yi looked at the opened passageway and asked, “Brother Nine, do you want to form a party together with me?”

“No!” Sister Windcloud Nine shrieked and hid her head behind Brother Nine’s back.

“Woman, why are you interrupting a conversation between men?” Brother Windcloud Nine glared at Sister Windcloud Nine. She immediately lowered her head.

Brother Windcloud Nine nodded. “Alright, let’s form a party together. You can set the loot option. I have faith in you!”

After the loot allocation incident with Li Yi just now, Brother Windcloud Nine’s opinion of Li Yi had changed drastically. He was a generous spirit and thus hated petty people with a burning passion. Simply put, Brother Windcloud Nine admired Li Yi’s personality.

Sister Windcloud Nine tugged on Brother Windcloud Nine’s arm and shook it fervently. “Hubby, hubby... Please don’t do this...”

While Brother Windcloud Nine was not afraid of Li Yi, Sister Windcloud Nine was deathly fearful of him. She firmly believed that nothing good would happen whenever she met him...

“If you dare run your mouth again, I’ll teach you a lesson when we’re home!”

“Don’t... Don’t do that...” Sister Windcloud Nine bit down on her lips. She was on the verge of tears and looked like a poor young wife who was wronged.

“Let’s go!”

At that moment, Li Yi called out and lead the party into the open passageway.

Before them, lay a wasteland stretching far and wide towards the horizon. Laura was riding a blue proto-dragon whelp and stood together with a Light Priest. When she saw Li Yi the others approaching, she immediately went to greet them.

“Circumstances have changed. The Soul King has detected our actions, and he’s placed a Soul Realm ahead to stop us. Warriors, I think we should do something to ensure your safety.”

The Light Preist gave each player a Light Talisman that allowed players to resurrect themselves directly where they had died. Meanwhile, Laura blessed the players with an unlimited status of Dark Honor. Its effect gave players a 5% chance for a Max HP resurrection upon death.

Both the Light Talisman and Dark Honor would only work within the Glory Instance Dungeon. Once the players left the dungeon, these items would automatically disappear.

Laura and the Light Preist proceeded to explain the situation of the war ahead of them. The location of Pope Shirui and Great Lord Moigne had been found. They were trapped within the tombs of Lord Yuge, the King of Lanluo. Once the tomb was found, they could finally be rescued.

“May the light be with you!”

“The Evil God’s Blessing will always be with you.”

Once Laura and the Light Priest had completed their task, they retreated to the sidelines and stood as bystanders. Their task was to help all players that went past this area. They could only help the players, though; they could not assist in the players’ battle against the boss.

The Light Talisman was extremely useful, giving players a free resurrection at the point where they had died. However, the Dark Honor buff was even more overpowered. Initially, it had a 5% probability for a Max HP resurrection, but this would be doubled to 10% once the players used the Light Talisman!

A 10% chance of resurrection. If you had a stroke of God-defying luck, you could basically become a cockroach that not even the gods could kill...

The map for the second half of the dungeon only had a monster akin to zombies. Similar to the zombies around the Frost Cell, they had extremely low attack power and quick movements. However, they were equipped with an extremely powerful skill – they would grab people and suck their blood.

The party marched on. Hundreds of zombies pounced and wrapped themselves around the main tanks on the frontlines. Sucking the main tanks’ blood in huge gulps.

[-1000]

[-2000]

[-4000]

The HP of the main tanks fell at an alarming rate...
