“Camera, ready. Cover your faces, Brother Windcloud Nine is about to get up!”
“Leader Scum, why must we cover our faces?”
“If we lose, nobody will know who we are. If we win, we’ll take off our mask.”
“But…”“Stop bickering. Old Nine is up. Brothers, let’s go!”
Scumbag Wang let out a shout, emerging from the dark and leading his group of followers to charge at Brother Windcloud Nine who was just resurrected.
“If we’re afraid of the humiliation from losing, then why don’t we conceal our names?” One of Scumbag Wang’s subordinates was confused.
Lonely Perfume knocked on that guy’s head, “F*ck conceal. Is your IQ higher than Leader Scum? Or higher than me? If so, why are you and I an underling while Leader Scum’s the leader?”
“I… I just can’t figure it out.”
“You’re lucky only I heard you say this. If Leader Scum were to catch word of this, humph, you know what happens.”
Leader Scum and his group masked their faces while their names on top of their heads were in blaring red as they made way to Brother Windcloud Nine.“Arrogant c*nt!”
Scumbag Wang rammed at Brother Windcloud Nine with Charge. Alas, a giant Miss appeared. Flashes of white light were casted upon Brother Windcloud Nine. It appeared that several healers had healed his HP in full.
“Blizzard!”
“Devouring Black Hole!”
Brother Windcloud Nine needed not take action himself as Western Continent players around immediately counter-attacked upon witnessing someone assaulting their Brother nine. After the cloud of magic faded away, Scumbag Wang and his party, including the person in charged of video-recording in the dark, were all dead.
“Sigh, slight deviation in plans. I must have listened to too many songs yesterday,” Scumbag Wang sighed.
“Leader Scum, what songs were you listening to?”
“Even if I close my eyes, I can only see your face… Motherf*cker… I only saw Brother Windcloud Nine and not the rest.”
Scumbag Wang’s underlings, “…”
At the corner where Brother Windcloud Nine stood, tens of thousands pair of eyes were viciously staring at them…
“Only idiots from Huashan Guild would ambush ten thousand men with only a hundred of them,” A Western Continent player named Windcloud Bear Bear laughed.
Windcloud Bear Bear stood on top of Scumbag Wang’s corpse as he tainted, “Leader Scum, you’re so lame. Isn’t it taking a bite out of your reputation for you to die before even laying a finger on our Brother Nine?”
“Hahahah…” The Western Continent players roared in laughter.
“I f*cking covered my face, how did you recognize me?” Scumbag Wang was in a daze.
“Name, name, name. We did not conceal our name,” Lonely Perfume reminded Scumbag Wang.
“You can recognize me from my name?”
“Why can’t we?” The Western Continent players rolled on the floor laughing.
“How could you? I covered my face!” Scumbag Wang just could not wrap his head around it.
Leader Scum’s IQ was simply too high. Nobody could understand what was going through his mind — This was the inner voice of his underlings.
…
Li Yi stood before Shattered Frost City, avoiding the spewing flames from the Black Dragon sibling duo while holding up the orange-colored bow to absorb Soul Power.
The Dragon’s Breath could take down several hundreds in one go. If Dragonspeak Magic was unleashed, the death toll would rise to ten thousand. The Soul Power in Shattered Frost City was enough to satisfy the orange-coloured bow’s Blood Bath requirement.
Only Li Yi was able to omit killing his enemy with his bare hands yet absorb their souls at the same time. It was something no other regular player could achieve.
Because of Li Yi’s identity as Shattered Frost City’s Castellan, everything within the city was his. If an enemy was killed in this city, he would take at least half the credit.
In other words, the Black Dragon sibling duo was equivalent to a third party invited by him to be a defender. The people killed by these defenders were counted to his success in defending the city as it equated to Li Yi killing these invading players. This was not considered a bug because it was a tactic to defend the city and the System allowed players to employ such strategy.
[Intruder is killed. You’ve obtained 1 point in Honor Value.]
[Intruder is killed. You’ve obtained 1 point in Honor Value.]
Not only could he harvest Soul Power, his Honor Value was speeding up. However, Li Yi was out of sorts in a couple of minutes when his Honor Value reached the maximum.
The Honor Value could be exchanged for many great items. 1 point was awarded for each kill of an enemy player. There was no limit in killing but there was an upper limit of granting 50,000 points. These points were also reset to zero every four months.
Although the fatality was countless, the Western Continent players did not change their battle strategy. They still chose to go at the Black Dragon sibling duo with blunt force. They ran their corpses after their death over and over again, persistent in slowly wearing the dragons down.
It was not easy to amass this many players in one go, even for the Windcloud clan. They only managed to pull it off by chance, and they would not be so lucky the next time. This was also why Windcloud Overlord was dead set on his order.
“Dark Wing, you trash who only ambush alt accounts! Where the hell are you? Fight me if you dare!”
Brother Windcloud Nine was riding on Cerberus as he ran the streets in the city, hunting down Li Yi.
He could be bothered with the item that may be dropped by the Black Dragons. He only had one thing in his mind and that was to find Li Yi and seek revenge!
Earlier, he died without warning. He did not even see it coming and was caught off guard. By the time he came to, he was down on his back.
Li Yi simply ignored him and took his orange-colored bow to roam the streets, absorbing all that fresh Soul Power.
The orange-colored bow has a unique way of absorbing Soul Power. One player was able to provide a single Soul Power. Once it was absorbed the first time, it could not be used again. He has to maintain a momentum in switching players.
“C’mon, die already… Oh please, why are you holding on your dear life? Just die already!”
Li Yi’s figure was warping around the city, all thanks to the Castellan’s Teleport skill. He was in the East, then the West, before returning to Central in an instant. It was not an easy task keeping up with him.
The more Soul Power that was poured into the orange-colored bow, the more its surface grew brighter.
No other person could witness this, other than Li Yi. The attributes on the bow were on a constant change, proving the effectiveness of the Soul Power in mending this bow.
When Li Yi checked on the orange-colored bow’s attributes, he noticed a string of numbers on a jump just at the back of the name of the bow — 67,875! This was the total of Soul Power poured into it.
It still was not enough! Carry on!
“Experience Armageddon from the Black Dragon King!”
Onyxia took a deep whiff in…
Just as Li Yi was making a fuss on the slow pouring of Soul Power, the Black Dragon sibling duo in the sky suddenly stopped their Dragon’s Breath and in turn, unleashed their super Dragonspeak Magic respectively.
“Not good!”
Li Yi immediately teleported out of Shattered Frost City, taking cover by jumping into the moat.
Kaboom! Kaboom!
The two loud crashes moved the moat to boiling point. The high temperature evaporated half the moat…
The combine attack of both dragons destroyed half of Shattered Frost City, wiping out more than half the Western Continent players. The death poll raised to over 600,000!
Countless Soul power surged into the orange-colored bow. The force was so huge, Li Yi could not get a good grip of the bow.
Tick tick tick tick tick…
The bow was pulsating tremendously as streaks of white gas generated from these Soul Power churned and twirled above it, triggering a phenomenal change around.
“Dark Wing, fight me if you dare!”
It was then Brother Windcloud Nine came storming out the city gates on Cerberus. He has his eyes fixated on Li Yi.
Li Yi took a deep breath in, manifesting a Star Arrow with his trembling fingers before taking his shot.
Brother Windcloud Nine yelled out as he raised his shield to block.
“Swoosh—”
Brother Windcloud Nine’s +14 Shield was like paper when fronted with this Star Arrow. The Star Arrow penetrated through, striking through his chest and making an exit from his back. Still, the arrow showed no signs of slowing down. It continued on straight ahead until it exploded, its Star scrap bits blasted several hundred Western Continent players to kingdom come.
[-36,899]
The high damage appeared on top of Brother Windcloud Nine’s head. He was killed in one move. His eyes, widened as he fell slowly in dramatic fashion to the ground.
Ding!
Brother Windcloud Nine dropped another equipment. Li Yi could tell from afar that it was the shield he was holding.
“I’ll get it!” Windcloud Bear Bear shouted out loud as he made a dash to the shield. He has always been by Brother Windcloud Nine’s side. He was the nearest in distance to the shield while Li Yi was the furthest.
Windcloud Bear Bear extended his arm towards the shield while yelling, “Don’t worry, Brother Nine, I’ve got it!”
Just as his hand was about to touch it, the shield peculiarly made a move forward. Windcloud Bear Bear was stumped for words. The shield started to move by itself, stumbling as it ran towards the direction of Li Yi.
The Shield? Running away itself? How could this be?
Windcloud Bear Bear was stunned for a good two seconds before coming to senses to chase after it. However, the shield ran at a speed that he could not even keep up with Cyclone Step.
“Li Yi hacked! F*ck! He hacked!” Windcloud Bear Bear immediately shouted seeing the shield reached Li Yi’s hands.
“Hack your ass!”
The real shield-snatching perpetrator finally revealed himself, it was his Lightning Leopard…
“Good job, carry on!”
Li Yi stroked Lightning Leopard’s head, that this beast moaned in pleasure. It went into Stealth, and continued its journey in seeking out equipments…
A +14 Wind of Ruler (purple-colored shield). Brother Windcloud Nine really knew how to spend his money.
Li Yi stored the shield without any reservations. The cool down period was now over for his Patrolling skill. He then teleported to some place safe, resuming absorbing new Soul Power.
The number of Soul Power on the orange-colored bow kept rising until it passed the 500,000 threshold. It was then, the surface of the bow started to perceive change.
The external appearance of the bow was no different from a regular bow. There was nothing extraordinary to it but as the Soul Power poured in, this Divine Bow began to show its true form.
The exterior looked like a phoenix spreading its wings. The two ends of the bow were wings while the center was the phoenix’s head. Li Yi placed the bow in an erecting position and it stood as tall as his height.
“No, still not enough. C’mon, breath in! C’mon, Black Dragon Princess!”
Li Yi watched as the soul number jumped, cheering Black Dragon Princess on.
Onyxia deep another deep breath in…
Li Yi’s thoughts were really vibing with the princess. It was not long before Onyxia started to breath in.
Li Yi teleported out of the city, leaving behind a city ablaze. Onyxia’s deep breath took a few hundred thousand lives.
876,542! 945,621!
1,000,000!
Swoosh—
When the orange-colored bow absorbed a million Soul Power, the number stopped and then came the System Notification.
“Soul Power complete. Pantheon’s first seal — broken!”
