Chapter 605: Inspiration from a Dream

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The slender hand’s owner possessed a round face with a cherry-sized mouth. She was none other than Jiaojiao, and as of this moment, her face was filled with worry for Li Yi.

Li Yi wiped off his sweat and wrapped Jiaojiao in his embrace. “Nothing, I just had a bad dream.”

“Was it about me?”

“Err, not...” Li Yi was halfway through his sentence when he spotted the look of anger plastered on Jiaojiao’s face. He immediately followed it up with, “... completely.”

“How was dream me like? Was I pretty? Was I gentle?” Jiaojiao stroked her slender fingers playfully on Li Yi’s gut, in a manner similar a kitten’s.

Li Yi sensed that something was amiss. “Am I still dreaming?”

Jiaojiao thrust out her hand and twisted it, making Li Yi cry in pain.

“Why do you think that this is a dream? Is the way I’m acting right now feel ingenuine?”

“A bit...”

While embracing Jiaojiao, Li Yi laid back down.

“You’re acting very obedient today. Did something happen?”

“Spot on.”

“Speak.”

Jiaojiao shook her small head, “My mom has returned, and we can no longer stay together like this. So...”

“So, you’ve come to my room.”

“Yeah...”

Seeing Jiaojiao acting like a kitten caused Li Yi to feel a mixture of joy and sadness.

Lil Chili had always exuded the air of a warrior. Though she might look like she was absent-minded at times, in truth, she had the heart of a maiden, just like how she was acting as of that moment. Once she knew that her mother had returned and that she could no longer stay at Li Yi’s place, she barged her way into his room and snuggled with him.

“Doesn’t that mean that Ice will return downstairs once you leave?”

“Yeah. Brother Yi, I’m concerned for Ice...”

Jiaojiao addressing Li Yi as Brother Yi had sent chills down his spine. He could not help but think of the bizarre dream he had, and he hastily muffled her mouth.

“Think of another nickname. I...I prefer being referred to as Lil Yi’zi.”

“Uhhh...”

“That big chested woman with white voluptuous boobs is insanely perverted. If Ice were to live with her, h-h-her innocence would be soiled.”

“So, what do you propose?’

“My idea is for Ice to stay here with you.”

“Is Ice willing to accept though?”

“She definitely has no problem with that.”

“Oh, alright then. I have no problem with it either.”

“Of course, you don’t have any problems with it, hehe.”

“What are you implying?”

Li Yi flipped Jiaojiao around and mounted her.

Jiaojiao curled her slender hands into the claws of a cat and clawed at him. “I just had an idea.”

“Say it then.”

“Why don’t I call Ice and Big Tits over, so that all four of us can sleep together?”

Li Yi was dumbfounded...

Jiaojiao elbowed him. “I’m serious right now, would you like that?”

“O-Of course I would... What kind of man would reject this offer?”

“Good, I’m going to call them over now.”

Li Yi pushed Li Yi aside, and after tidying up her clothes, she got off the bed.

“Hey, Jiaojiao, are you joking or are you telling the truth?”

“Of course, I’m telling the truth. After all, this day was bound to arrive sooner or later, so it doesn’t really matter anyway.”

With that, Jiaojiao walked off with her little butt raised. While that was happening, Li Yi gulped down his saliva, laid back down and began to imagine the scenario.

‘Everything that happened tonight, feels straight out of a dream.’

Li Yi was sleepless the entire night, and when morning came, his eyes were rimmed red. Jiaojiao had not returned, and by extension of that logic, it meant that Ice and Qian’er had not come as well...

“LIL CHILI! YOU PLAYED ME!” thundered Li Yi.

...

It was now noon, and the Iron Alliance’s party had assembled. Together with Shangguan Bailu, Li Yi went over the battle details for nearly half an hour.

As scary as the nightmare was, it had provided Li Yi with a great deal of inspiration. As such, he wanted to test out whether the idea from his dream was applicable to the boss battle.

When Shangguan Bailu heard Li Yi’s plan, she went speechless. However, in the end, she still nodded her head and agreed to his plan.

At 1 PM in the afternoon, the Iron Alliance party initiated their next attempt at the boss battle.

“Hmph! Come out, my ghostly minions, come out and toy with these insignificant specks of dust...”

The Soul King waved his hands, and a pentagon-shaped Dark Whirlpool appeared in the ground. This was the first phase of the summoning process, and Great Lord Moigne was about to appear.

Li Yi activated his Rocket Propellant, and before Great Lord Moigne appeared, he sped to the pentagon-shaped whirlpool and entered it...

“Everyone! Listen to my commands! Enter the portal!”

Shangguan Bailu bellowed, and she made her way into the whirlpool. Once that happened, the party members finally answered and followed her into the Dark Whirlpool.

By the time Great Lord Moigne appeared, all 25 members of the party had entered the Dark Whirlpool’s dimension.

The inside of the Dark Whirlpool was extremely dark, and the space within it constantly turned and twisted. At the very center of the space they were in, there was a shadow that belonged to the Soul King, and behind it, was a silhouette that looked like Pope Shirui.

“This...This...This...”

“F*ck me, man! We could enter the whirlpool all along?”

“What kind of tactic is this? Commander Bailu, your intuition is too sharp.”

“Everyone! Gather up! Fire all you got at the shadow!” ordered Shangguan Bailu.

They began their assault with only one target in mind, the Soul King’s shadow.

“Arghhhh....”

The Soul King’s shadow let out a pained cry as the HP bar above of its head rapidly declined. In the blink of an eye, it had bottomed out.

Ka-cha! Ka-cha!

The Soul King’s shadow had been shattered, and along with it, the dark dimension was beginning to come apart as well. With a crash that sounded like a mirror shattering, the entire party was sent back to the Soul Abyss...

In that instant, the Soul King, who had been unbelievably pompous the whole time, clutched its chest and crumpled onto the ground. To the party’s amazement, there was only 90% of his HP bar remaining.

In a jubilant tone, Shangguan Bailu barked, “Attack!”

Magic rocked the air, and arrows were mercilessly let loosed...

The ‘gate-entering’ tactic that Li Yi had discussed with Shangguan Bailu had been spot on. In other words, the nightmare Li Yi had, had given him some major inspiration.

The dungeon’s name was the Soul Gate, but the final arena of the dungeon was called ‘the Soul Abyss’. Unless players had pondered on the name of the dungeon, they would not notice any issues. Even for Li Yi, the only reason he came to realize the meaning of the ‘Gate’ was due to a coincidence.

‘Was the Soul Gate referring to the Dark Whirlpool that the Soul King used to summon the puppets?’

‘Enter the Gate! Enter the Gate! Enter the Gate!’

Before they had started the battle, all Li Yi could think of were those words. Now that he had finally tested his theory out, he was delighted beyond words.

The Soul King knelt on the ground, and once its HP had reached 80%, it gripped its chest and stood up. Its body was glistening with a blinding radiance, and the rays were unleashed in every direction.

“Bewitching Rays!”

Unlike Holy Light Impact, the Soul King’s Bewitching Rays dealt no damage. Instead, it served to convert players, as any players who laid eyes on it would quickly be converted into its puppets.

“Accept my divine strength! Obey me! Become my slaves and serve me!” The Soul King repeatedly spouted.

“Everyone! turn your heads around! Face your back towards it!”

The moment Bewitching Rays was used, Shangguan Bailu hurriedly shouted.

All 25 members of the party quickly spun their heads around. Nobody had been converted, and with that, they had easily passed the phase.

“Turn your heads around! Obey me and become my slaves!”

Bewitching Rays’ intensity was slowly amplifying, and the Soul King continued to howl. Its howls were actually a warning to everyone, that they should not turn their heads around. Otherwise, they would be converted within a second of being exposed to the rays.

Wang Wang Dumplings shouted, “Commander Bailu! How are we supposed to attack if we can’t turn our heads around? Won’t it enter Berserk state if we continue like this?”

“Don’t worry, just make sure you don’t turn your head around!”

“Come out, Spirit King!”

Li Yi took out the Dark Contract Scroll which had the Spirit King, Nikolas sealed within it and tore it open.

“Yawn... Who summons me?”

The moment Spirit King Nikolas appeared, it bellowed towards its surroundings.

“What hateful radiance! What malicious power! What a powerful soul...”

Nikolas glanced directly at the Bewitching Rays, and then shifted its view to the Soul King. When it did so, the corners of its face curled into an expression of glee.

“Come here, you!”

Nikolas extended its giant arms and effortlessly caught the Soul King.

Suck—

King of Souls’ godly power was continuously absorbed by Spirit King, and the effects of Bewitching Rays were weakened.

Li Yi barked, “Turn around and attack! Then quickly turn back around!”

He spun his body around to fire an arrow, and then immediately turned back to face the original direction. Although Bewitching Rays’ effect had weakened, they would still be converted if they held their gaze on the Soul King for more than three seconds.

“Arghhh... This power, is it destroying my body? NOO...”

At that instant, Spirit King Nikolas gave out a pained wail, and its colossal body was torn to shreds, vanishing in a blink of an eye...

Though it was the king of spirits, sadly, it was not a ‘demigod’. When it absorbed part of the Soul King’s divine power, its body could not contain it, and it was forced to dissipate.

However, it had completed its mission, and its departure could be considered an honorary retirement.

If the party did not use the Spirit King or a different method to reduce the Soul King’s divine strength, their damage output would take a major hit. After all, if a boss battle dragged on for far too long, the boss would enter a Berserk state, and if that happened, it basically meant that the team would be annihilated.

The party desperately attacked. They were not going to give the Soul King any breathing room.

They turned around, attacked, turned around again, and attacked again...

By the time King of Souls HP had been reduced to 70%, it repeated its previous tactic and activated ‘Dark Gate’ once more. It intended to call out both Great Lord Moigne and Pope Shirui at the same time.

This time, the party no longer needed Shangguan Bailu to prompt them, and immediately knew what they should do. The Wizards were the fastest to react, as they immediately Flashed forward and entered the gates.

“Boom!”

Li Yi activated Rocket Propellant once again, but he did not expect for the one-in-a-million chance of it to malfunction happening. He did not race forward, and instead, he was blasted skyward.

“Death’s Grasp.”

Fortunately, the Dwarf Dark Paladin in the party, Misty Rain responded quickly and brought Li Yi back to the ground with Death’s Grasp.

The Soul King’s shadow was the major force behind the existence of the shadow realm. If they managed to defeat it within a specified timeframe, the party would be able to leave the realm. However, should they fail, then they were doomed to be annihilated.

The time limit was ten minutes, and for the Iron Alliance party that consisted of various elites, it was more than enough.

“Thud!”

Soon after, the Soul King’s shadow was shattered, and along with it, the shadow realm. Once again, the party was plopped back into the Soul Abyss.

When the party noticed the Soul King clutching its chest with a pained expression, everyone laughed.

“Attack!”

Once again, the party unleashed their assault upon the temporarily defenseless Soul King.
