MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks Chapter 170

"Little Drunk Cat Elites, listen up . Assemble immediately at the Abyssal Canyon Crevice . The coordinates are 5875222, 654777 . This is an order!"

Li Yi did not head to Beastwars Valley but instead changed his course of direction midway to the Abyssal Canyon Crevice .

It was still a time when nobody owned a flying mount . Hence, there was quite a restriction going back and forth between the four continents . The Northern Continent, though, was accessible through a passenger's vessel for a fee but the other three continents were not that convenient as they were obstructed by the Abyssal Canyon .

Dragon Rider Augustus really has his way in splitting the continent . With just one slash, he divided a continent into three parts, making it the current Eastern, Western and Southern Continents .  

Li Yi camouflaged himself as he stood before the Abyssal Crevice . Looking at the Western Continent players walking over from the opposite side, his lips curled into a wicked smile .

Despite the inaccessibility of the three continents, Li Yi could leap over to the opposite side with the help of Ice Toad King . The opposing camp players could equally adopt similar tactics to come to the Eastern Continent .

The Wizard class used a special tool called Bird's Feather that granted Levitation Skill to coast the sky like a bird . Of course, a Wizard's Levitation Skill could only glide them halfway over the Abyssal Crevice which was forty over meters in width, before they fall to their doom .

However, the effects of a Levitation Skill added with a Violent Warrior's Violent Throw was another ballpark altogether .

[Violent Throw: Pick up an item (including players) to throw up to 20 yards . It can inflict 180% damage on the target . Skill cool down period: 10 minutes . ]

The Western Continent players applied Violent Throw on Wizards who would then glide to the other side of the Abyssal Crevice . An Engineering-specialized Resilient Cable Wire was used to build a cascading stairway for other players to pass through .

The cost of Resilient Cable Wire was hefty . Similar to all Engineering products, it lacked in the safety aspect . Taking an Engineered Bomb as an example, there would be accidents upon usage . It could detonate in one's hand prior to tossing it out, causing damage to oneself instead of the enemy . This was also a feature of Engineering .

The Resilient Cable Wire had its flaw too . In the process of usage, it may snap apart at random . . .

Li Yi stood at the Abyssal Canyon for a few minutes and witnessed first-hand of over a hundred Western Continent players falling into the depths of the canyon due to the rupture of the cable wire .

Due to the insecurity of such Resilient Cable Wire, if the Western Continent players wished to continuously supply their combat-effectiveness, they had to opt for Violent Warriors to throw Wizards which, in turn, would build new cascading stairways in order to sustain the traffic of the other players .

A fair price to pay, or in Li Yi's words, spending money like water .

Little Drunk Cat's Elites arrived in full attendance . They remained at the coordinates mentioned by Li Yi . It was a mere two hundred meters distance away from the cascading stairways built by the Western Continent players .

"Hide and don't move . Take action at my order . "

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Li Yi struck with Chained Arrow Skill, shooting down one of the stairways . Over sixty Western Continent players on the cascading stairway wailed as they fell into the Abyssal Canyon .

Li Yi summoned Ice Toad King to leap over to the opposite side .

"Someone's here, get him!"

The Western Continent players on the opposing side reacted and over three hundred of them encircled Li Yi .

To the Western Continent player's surprise, Li Yi disappeared upon landing…

"Where did he go? Is he a Thief? Stealth Mode?"

Various Sensory Skills were activated yet no one was able to detect Li Yi's whereabouts .

"F*ck, this f*ctard must have gone offline midair . He's only bluffing us by coming here to delay us . "

"I think so too . "

The Western Continent player let down their guard and continued what they were doing earlier, building new cascading stairways .

Li Yi stood by the Abyssal Crevice in Camouflage Mode . Listening to their conversation, he was filled with glee .

Once they had all lowered their guard, Li Yi drank an Invisibility Potion before quietly creeping to the stairway, extending his arms out doing something .  

A 15 minutes channeling bar read above him . A Legendary-level Engineer has made his move .

Cascading stairway reinforced!

That cascading stairway was reinforced by Li Yi . Its color was different from other stairways, it was glowing in golden shimmer, exceptionally striking in appearance .

"All Elites of Little Drunk Cat heed my call . Take the special-colored stairway over and get over here now!"

After Li Yi was done with the alteration of the cascading stairway, he shot down another stairway traveled by the Western Continent players . He then made himself known before making a run for it .

"Get him! That shithead is online again, f*ck!" Exclaimed the Western Continent players before slighting after Li Yi .

Fire Impact! Wind Shield's Protection!

Two acceleration skills were used alternatively . Li Yi swiftly widened the distance from the Western Continent players .

Swoosh— Swoosh—

Li Yi turned back to draw his bow once in a while, taking one down with one shot . When an opportunity sprung up, he sneaked a Powered-Up Arrow, toppling tens of them with multiple Critical Hits .

Little Drunk Cat Elites took this chance to race over through the reinforced cascading stairway to the other side .

No one was on watch at the opposing side . All ammunitions were focused on Li Yi . Little Drunk Cat Elites made their way to the other side without any hindrance .

"Take down all cascading stairways and make haste to the West . "

Li Yi was kiting as he issued an order to the Little Drunk Cat Elites .

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Building a cascading stairway was no easy task but destroying it was a piece of cake . All it took was one hit, with the exception of Li Yi's reinforced stairway that needed over ten hits before collapsing .

Over three hundred Western Continent players went after Li Yi alone . After over fifty of them were defeated, they realized in fury that they lost their runway target . . .

"F*ck, where did he go? Can he go offline when in battle? That's impossible . Even if the person disconnected in battle, the character will not disappear . This doesn't make sense . . . "

"Who cares, where did he run to? I don't believe that we can't find him . Search for him!"

He broke away from battle using Camouflage and consumed a bottle of Invisibility Potion . Li Yi had long scurried to the direction of the Little Drunk Cat Elites and reassembled with them .

"Guild Master, where are we heading?"

There was a total of 78 Little Drunk Cat Elites members . Only a handful who did not come online did not make it .

"We will spring a surprise attack on their major city's NPC . Follow me!" Li Yi summoned Crimson Tiger King and pointed at the West truculently, "To Kaiser City!"

Pretty Good Mood teamed up with other Guild Masters . It would not be long before they were in control of the situation . This was also the reason why Li Yi chose to counter-attack their major city .

"Guild Master, their next target seems to be Shattered Frost City," Pretty Good Mood relayed the latest intel .

Li Yi replied, "I see . Don't get in their way too much . It's best to let them in the city before joining forces with the NPC soldiers to wipe them all out .

"Understood!"

Windcloud Overlord led many to attack six major cities . All these major cities were scarce in battle-type NPCs such as Orc city, Beastwars Valley that housed elders, children, women, and handicapped Orc NPCs . They were all unarmed . Windcloud Overlord's surprise attack was no coincidence but well planned . He had collected plenty of information on the Eastern Continent before making his mark .

They retreated when faced with powerful NPCs and killed when encountering the weak . This was the strategy adopted by Windcloud Overlord .

Shattered Frost City was a different ballpark from the other five major cities that were attacked . Li Yi was not the least bit worried because even with the NPC soldiers aside, Leghar alone was enough to crush them .

With Windcloud Overlord leading his troops to attack six major cities, his troops of thirty thousand diminished to a mere ten thousand now . They must be prepared to put in one last struggle to lay siege on Shattered Frost City .

"Charge forward!" Li Yi pathed the way on his tiger mount .

"Guild Master's . . . freakin' awesome," One of the Elites sighed in admiration .

"Not just freakin' but super freakin' awesome," Corrected another .

A sudden left, then right . Straight ahead at times, while a detour the next . Apart from Li Yi who knew the way, the rest of the Little Drunk Cat Elites were in a daze from the route taken .

About an hour into the journey later, a perfectly straight path appeared and their sights broadened .

"We're almost there," Li Yi's clenched-up face finally loosened up .

The toughest battle was not sneak-attacking the NPCs in major cities but the dangers on their way up there .

But fortunately, they had not encountered any battles and arrived safely at the Land of Light with zero casualties .

On the other hand, Pretty Good Mood was continuously providing the latest update . Windcloud Overlord has barged into Shattered Frost City but this sneaky fella did not bother to battle it out with strong NPCs . He ordered his ten thousand men to scatter about the city and kill normal NPCs in an attempt to lower Eastern Continent's Reputation Value . When they were met with stronger NPCs, they immediately retreated .

Chen Yang was online but his participation in battle did not change a thing . Instead, he was killed three to four times by Brother Windcloud Nine, to the point he unleashed his talk-host nature and cussed endlessly while playing dead .

Yang Xingchen was completely defeated . Even with I Love Beast Beast healing him secretly, he was no match for Brother Windcloud Nine . The two has had multiple exchanges and the result was all the same, with Brother Windcloud Nine taking home the win . Such a circumstance only saw a change with the arrival of Star Fire's top main tank, Unending Unmatched into the battle .

Dubbing the same three stunts by Armored Warriors, which were Block, Shield Strike, and Double Retaliation, this person was so exalted that by the third Double Retaliation, he managed to afflict the move in plural numbers .

"Double Retaliation! Double Retaliation! Double Retaliation!"

Three continuous strikes of Double Retaliation found Brother Windcloud Nine lying on his stomach . All players on site could not believe their eyes .

"You hacker!" Brother Windcloud Nine shouted furiously .

"F*cktard!" Yang Xingchen spat at him, venting his spleen .

As the second in ranks of the top ten main tanks, there was no question on Unending Unmatched's abilities . After taking out Brother Windcloud Nine, he raised his shield in an attempt of an Epic-level skill, Shield of Earth .

[Shield of Earth: With a coverage of 300 yards, player's bodies are wrapped with the force of the earth, increasing damage dealt by 5%, decreasing damage received by 80% . Additionally, auto-recovery on mana or fury bar with any attack sustained for 60 seconds . Cool down period: 2 hours . (Note: Every player is only able to enjoy the effects of Shield of Earth twice within two hours . )]

Star Fire Guild was able to topple Fire Demon Lina with this Epic-level skill of Unending Unmatched!
