Chapter 607: Light Messenger
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Portal! Portal! Portal!
Li Yi had his eye on the portal. When Moigne first unleashed Holy Healing Skill, he caught sight of the outline of a portal appearing behind Moigne.
He could not dash into that portal the first time due to the distance, so he made preparations in advance to rush in the moment the portal emerged.
It was a risky experiment as Holy Light Impact was still in effect, but it disappeared temporarily when Moigne unleashed Holy Healing Skill. Because of the risk of being killed if he was a step too early or too late, Li Yi could not help but celebrate when he made it into the Dark Dimension.
“Don’t worry about me, just continue with your attacks!”
Li Yi shouted in the party channel, creeping towards the Soul King shadow while gripping his Orange Quality Bow.
The scenery was the same as previous times — the Soul King’s shadow was the source of this Dark Dimension and a mindless Pope Shirui lay motionless behind the shadow.
“Bp bp bp bp...”
Li Yi aimed and fired at Pope Shirui.
The previous times they entered, all their attention was on the Soul King’s shadow, and they had overlooked destroying the puppet body.
Damage numbers kept emerging above Pope Shirui’s head and without the Soul King’s control, she remained a log without the ability to fight back.
“The glory of the Evil God forever lives on, even if my flesh and soul are destroyed, my will shall remain on in this world, awaiting my lord’s return...”
When Li Yi had reduced Pope Shirui’s HP down to 2%, the log suddenly began chanting an Evil God’s Psalm.
That’s right, a famous Cursing Sect hymn was heard coming from this soulless log...
“Believers of the Evil God, indeed... What a strong will...”
Li Yi paused for a moment after realizing the pope was only singing one part. It seemed to be an abnormal reaction for the unconscious pope.
“It’s too soon for the Evil God to return. He’ll have to wait until we make it to Mount Pantheon.”
Li Yi mumbled.
“Mount Pantheon!” Pope Shirui’s hollow eyes lit up.
“Huh?”
Li Yi stared at Pope Shirui in shock, but a thought quickly crossed his mind.
In King of Pantheon, the game creators prepared multiple surprises for players. For example, if one was taking a hike, a treasure box may suddenly fall from the sky and land on one’s head. When picked up and opened, it could be a 100 thousand Gold Coins surprise...
Such a pleasant surprise was coined a Colored Egg by players.
Could this blockhead Shirui come with a Colored Egg?
Li Yi took out his Cursing Sect Outfit and put it on.
“Your Holiness...”
He tried calling out. He had already completed the quest issued by the black and white bosses of the Curse Land and pretty much went through all other Cursing Sect locations. Apart from daily quests to increase Cursing Sect Reputation Value and Evil God’s Affinity, there was nothing more he could do.
Was the ever-famous Cursing Sect Outfit worth this much?
Pope Shirui sized Li Yi up and with a flash of light glowing in her eyes, she shouted, “Glory to the Evil God...”
“Glory to the Evil God! Glory to the Evil God!”
Li Yi raised both arms, in a display of madcap fanaticism.
“My soul’s about to disappear, this is my last consciousness. I don’t have much time. For the return of the Evil God, for the Cursing Sect... you must remember my words!”
Pope Shirui slowly spread open both palms to embrace Li Yi, whispering words into his ear...
Hearing what Shirui revealed to him, the joy on Li Yi’s face intensified.
It was indeed a huge Colored Egg!
Bingo...
...
It had been 20 minutes since Li Yi entered the Dark Dimension when with a bang, the dimension broke to pieces. Li Yi then emerged behind Moigne.
Moigne was clutching his chest with a pained look on his face as he fell to his knees.
In that time, Moigne had gone through countless resurrections, using Holy Healing Skill when his HP was reduced to nothing. Had Li Yi not entered the Dark Dimension, Shangguan Bailu would have ordered its destruction long ago...
It was a pain in the balls to deal with the unlimited heals. Who could tolerate it for this long?
Shangguan Bailu tried dispatching two Wizards, Ouyang Qian and Wang Wang Dumplings to follow Li Yi into the Dark Gate behind Moigne. However, both of them had failed to do so. Wang Wang Dumplings lay flat while Qian’er was quick enough on her feet to flee with Flash.
The opening and closing of the Dark Gate flashed by with an interval of less than 1 second. For Li Yi to have been able to enter, it all relied on his luck and technique, both equally important...
As the party engaged in battle with a non-resisting Moigne, his HP quickly hit rock bottom...
“I am Great Lord Moigne, the Church of Light’s No. 1 Knight. My soul may be tainted with evil, and my flesh may be used by evil, but my will shall never bow down. Holy Light above, please grant me strength!”
With a loud cry, powerful Holy Light energy surrounded Great Lord Moigne, freeing him from the Soul King’s shackles.
Moigne had a better ending than Pope Shirui. Pope Shirui had turned to dust, but thanks to his amazing will, Moigne had seized his soul back and broke free from the Soul King.
Moigne kneeled on the ground panting. The HP bar displayed above his head was low, but a Great Recovery from Holy Light Envoy Eleanor flooded his HP in mere seconds.
“... Why? You’re only mortal, how did you escape from my clutches? How?”
The Soul King’s body appeared in midair, leaving players on the verge of collapsing when they saw that the god-like boss’ HP was back to 100%.
“Heroes, pick up your swords and vanquish the evil before you!”
With his HP full and body protected by Holy Light, Moigne took large strides to slash at the emerging Soul King.
“Holy Light Slash!”
Tst —
A string of combos left the Soul King’s HP at 10%. Moigne’s move had taken out 90% of its HP!
“All hail Great Lord...” praised Brother Windcloud Nine.
“Sweet, I’m going to complain in the forums if this thing’s HP goes back to 100%.”
Of course, the Soul King was not going to die just like that. Just as Moigne was amassing Holy Light for a second strike, the Soul King stretched out its arm to grab him by the neck.
Tst —
With his Holy Light energy depleting quickly, Moigne’s body was slowly lifted up and his feet dangled helplessly.
Li Yi yelled, “Go! Get it!”
“That’s all?”
“F*ck me, Great Lord’s gonna be strangled to death. Miss Ice, heal him.”
“Go go go, give it your best shot, let’s blast it together!”
The tables had turned, the Soul King no longer focused on the players. Instead, it focused on tightening its grasp around Great Lord’s neck, absorbing his blood. At times, it unleashed Torrington to swiftly reduce his HP.
“Father, father!”
It was then Lil Moigne ran out. The greatsword he held in his hand had an appearance similar to Jiaojiao’s Lord Disaster. However, its attribute was the complete opposite, one represented Light while the other, Darkness.
Lil Moigne knelt on the ground, “My father must not die, for our beautiful home, for the Holy Light, I beg of you to save him.”
System Notification: [Protect Great Lord Moigne. If Moigne dies in the process, you will fail in your dungeon challenge...”
All party members received this a notification from the System.
“Holy Light, grant me power!”
Lil Moigne cried out as he charged forward. In the end, he was stabbed in the chest by the Soul King, dying on the spot...
Lil Moigne, unlike his headstrong father, was cannon fodder.
“My child, no... no, this isn’t real...” Moigne shouted with a pained expression, prompting the Holy Light engulfing his body to fade.
According to Pantheon’s official description on Paladins, should a Paladin grow doubt towards his belief in the Holy Light, the Holy Light energy would gradually disappear.
“Why... Why can’t I protect my family? Holy Light above, please tell me, why?” Moigne mumbled as the Holy Light enveloping his body faded away, hastening the rate his HP was dropping.
The party of six healers along with Eleanor were healing him, struggling to keep it around 30%. the Soul King’s Drain was too powerful...
“I have no resentment towards the Holy Light for abandoning me but why, why does the Great Holy Light abandon my father?”
Lil Moigne who had been lying on the ground suddenly stood up. His hollow eyes were gazing around.
Tst tst tst —
Darkness surged into Lil Moigne’s Light Messenger, turning the blade from pure white to black. His flesh too, turned dark.
With Light Messenger turning from Light to Darkness, the sword was no longer Light Messenger but Lord Disaster.
Speechless, Li Yi finally came to realize who the person he saw in one of the Seven Secret Places, Dwelling of the Undead was.
The person who’s coffin he had taken Lord Disaster and Undead’s Necklace of Natural Disaster was none other than Lil Moigne.
“Main tanks, get ready!”
Brother Windcloud Nine made a run towards Lil Moigne...
Lil Moigne voluntarily forsaking the Holy Light had complicated things.
It was not just the matter of healing Great Lord Moigne, but also stopping Lil Moigne and killing the Soul King.
The fallen Lil Moigne had a ring of Darkness Creed around him that inflicted Dark Attribute damage on targets within a 50-yard radius.
The main tanks had to pull aggro and kite him away from the party.
The DPS were hitting the Soul King hard with single attacks to avoid harming Moigne.
The Soul King’s HP was fluctuating up and down, the same with Great Lord Moigne’s HP. This was the climax of the boss battle and then something happened...
“Undead Army...”
Lil Moigne raised Lord Disaster up high, prompting several hundred ghouls to creep out from the ground...
“F*ck me!”
