MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks 200 Low Health and Death

The Vile King’s attacking speed was extremely fast. Both White Mirror and Black Mirror were Locking Skills. If players did not stay close to it while attacking, they definitely would not be able to last long no matter how good their positioning was.

If they stuck closely to the Vile King while dealing damage, its White Mirror and Black Mirror would not be unleashed. However, every minute, it would use Resistant Ring of Light, knocking back all entities close to it. Hence, players needed to continuously run forward and burn down the boss as much as possible before they were knocked back.

If he was not controlling Goska, Li Yi could have easily run ahead. However, an Archer’s close-ranged ATK damage was too minuscule. He could only deal such a measly amount of damage with each hit, and if the battle dragged on for too long, the Vile King would enter Berserk.

The Vile King had to be defeated within 15 minutes, otherwise, it would enter Berserk and the Vile King would unleash a full range of skills that would one-shot everyone in the area.

He had to rely on Goska’s terrifying damaging potential. Due to Goska’s character model being so gigantic, the Vile King’s Resistant Ring of Light could not knock him back by much. As long as he managed to rush up to the boss, this fight would already be considered half-done.

Goska’s mind was not deteriorating at all. On one hand, Li Yi was using Magic Crystals to stabilize his mind, on the other hand, he still had to dodge the incoming lightning-fast White Mirror and Black Mirror attacks as he moved forward. Even the tiniest of error would result in all his efforts going to waste.

Just as Goska dodged to the left, Li Yi had already made preparations to dodge to the right.

Predicting each move 5 seconds ahead, Li Yi was at his absolute limit!

“Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!”

At the start, the Vile King only shot out once with each of the White Mirror and Black Mirror attacks, but as Li Yi reached the midpoint of his health, the number of shots surged up by the dozens. The attack pattern was similar to “Shoot at Random”, randomly shooting everywhere around it.

Goska had such a huge character model, how would dodging all these randomly generated light rays even be considered easy? Even if he completely focused on dodging the attacks, he would not be able to dodge all of them. He would rather take a few White Mirror hits to avoid ever letting Goska come into contact with a Black Mirror.

When Goska finally reached the Vile King, he was only left with 100,000 HP. Just one more White Mirror hit and it would have been certain death for him.

“Furious Strike! Rage Hammer!”

The Vile King was immune to all CC skills. It also had 5 buffs on him (5 Crystal Strength from Murloc’s Protection) active. Even with Goska’s super-high ATK hits landing, each strike could only deal 5000-9000 HP’s worth of damage to it.

“Invader, you shall pay the price!”

Being attacked, the Vile King immediately rotated the mirror, causing the surface of its body to be enveloped with a red glow. At the same time, it held the mirror up high and swatted down at Goska as if he was a large fly.

The red glow enveloping its body signified that it was a Counter skill. If one were to attack it in this state, they would receive a Counter with a damage multiplier of ten, one-shotting them in an instant.

The fly-swat was even more ruthless. If one got hit just once, they would take 1000-2000 HP of damage and would enter a dizzy state lasting for 10 seconds. This status effect could be infinitely stacked, in other words, once a player gets Dizzy, the Vile King would continue swatting at the player, bringing upon them a slow but imminent death…

It was still fine if one had teammates, as they could use a non-damaging Taunt skill to shift the Vile King’s aggro. However, if the player was alone, it was guaranteed death if they got swatted.

Li Yi carefully controlled Goska, dodging all of the attacks the Vile King was throwing at him. Once again using his prediction skills and analyzing the direction of the incoming attacks, he made preparations to preemptively dodge each and every time.

After more than ten seconds of fly-swatting, the Vile King stopped to take a breather as the red glow slowly faded away. Li Yi immediately commanded Goska to start pummeling down the Vile King with all he had. He only had a 15 minutes timer to take down the boss, otherwise, he’d Berserk and that would have spelled the end of Li Yi’s solo run efforts.

The Vile King’s mirror started to be enveloped by a black glow. At this time, Li Yi received the notification: [The Vile King is preparing his ultimate spell, interrupt him quickly!]

The requirement to interrupt the channeling was to shave off 20,000 HP within 10 seconds. This was a piece of cake for Li Yi who was still controlling Goska. Within a few hits, the Vile King had been interrupted without a hitch.

Although the Vile King’s attacks were OP, as long as the player remained in close-range, they would have essentially cut his damaging potential by half.

Goska was swinging his gigantic fists about as the HP bar on top of the Vile King’s head dropped rapidly. After ten minutes, Li Yi had already dished out 2,700,000 HP of damage to it.

With only 300,000 HP left, as long as he could keep dishing out damage consistently, the Vile King would fall eventually.

However, the most absurd phase was about to begin!

The Vile King was considered one of the most disgustingly OP bosses in the game, naturally, this recognition would precede it even in this life. It took aim at Goska and unleashed White Mirror and with a “Shoo”, Goska’s image appeared on the White Mirror.

The Vile King yelled out, “Soul Bind!”

[Soul Bind: Binds together both the enemy and your souls. If any party makes any attacks, it would cause their respective souls to take damage.]

This skill seemed to be the Vile King trying to take the player down with him, but in reality, that was not the case. The Vile King was not that kind of boss, the reason he had used this skill was purely due to the fact that he did not have a soul, effectively making the ability a one-sided affair.

The Vile King let out a ear-piercing laughter as he lifted his fists and started striking the soul inside the mirror repeatedly.

[-2654]

[-2384]

…

Goska’s HP dropped down rapidly. In this phase, the players could not attack, if there were healers in the party, they would need to use their strongest skills to keep the entire party’s HP up.

Li Yi did not have any party members, he only had his partner Goska. Luckily, Goska’s HP was tanky enough to take the torment, when this phase had come to an end, Goska still had more than 20,000 HP left.

“Bam!” The soul inside the mirror shattered, this time dealing 10,000 points of damage to Goska’s HP.

Li Yi once again took control of Goska and sent his fists flying…

300,000 HP was not much but it was no trifle either when it came to dealing with a boss like the Vile King. If Li Yi relied solely on his individual strength, it would have been unthinkably hard for him to deal that much damage. Luckily, Goska still had a fraction of health left, he could still carry out his attack order.

“Awoo—— Goska is so hungry, Goska wants to eat something.”

The Big Murloc’s mind deteriorated by 10 points every second. Li Yi kept on feeding him with the Magic Crystals in his hand, but Goska’s mind still continued to deteriorate.

Nuking the boss with everything he had, Li Yi was just able to shave off 200,000 HP from the Vile King before Goska’s mind had deteriorated to the point he had escaped from Li Yi’s control.

Li Yi jumped down from Goska’s shoulder and swiftly moved behind the Vile King, attacking using the fishing rod.

“Goska is so hungry…”

Goska loudly roared towards the sky. When he lowered his head and saw the Vile King, he slapped it with his palm.

Goska was the Vile King’s created Failure, without Magic Crystals or Mind Control to control him, he would attack everyone regardless of who they were.

[-9850]

[-8756]

The Vile King’s body once again started to be enveloped by a red glow. With Goska’s next hit, a giant [-97654] appeared on top of his head as he fell instantly to the ground.

[-165]

[-234]

Li Yi waited till the red glow on the Vile King’s body disappeared before waving the fishing pole and furiously attacking with it. However, the pitiful damage was completely uncomparable with Goska. Even if he got a critical hit, it would only deal at most a measly 200+ HP worth of damage.

The Vile King still had 20,000HP, there was quite a bit left to burn off.

Li Yi continued to attack from behind the Vile King’s back. Whenever the Vile King turned to face him, he would just circle around, never appearing in front of the White Mirror.

When sticking so close to it, the Black Mirror would not shoot out Anti-Light Rays, but the White Mirror could still initiate Soul Bind. To prevent himself from dying by the Vile King’s OP ability, the best option was to just follow the Black Mirror as it moved.

The fly-swatting started once more. Li Yi immediately got on the Mermaid Princess to dodge, still sticking closely to the Vile King. not moving away no matter what.

“Slap slap slap slap!”

After a few more fly-swats, the Vile King followed up with an intense whirlwind. If a player came into contact with him at this moment, they’d take 2,000 damage. Furthermore, based on the different spinning directions, a pulling or repelling force would be generated. This was the most difficult phase, there were countless parties who fell to this attack.

This phase required unparalleled micromanagement as the players had to maintain a distance between themselves and the Vile King while they also try to avoid getting damaged by the whirlwind. No matter if they moved back or forward, it would result in their deaths. Coupled with the constant shifting of the pulling and repelling forces, once a player loses their balance, it would be guaranteed death.

Li Yi was also nervous. In his past life where he would solo the Vile King, he would barely be able to succeed, only beating it once in every ten tries.

“Move forward and swim up! Move back and stay down!”

Li Yi gave orders to the Mermaid Princess as he furiously shot with his bow.

To be able to shoot under these kinds of circumstances proved Li Yi’s prowess. However, even for him, he could only manage to shoot one arrow every ten seconds, he needed to use the remaining time to dodge.

The Vile King was screeching as its spinning speed increased more and more, causing the intensity to increase with it. Li Yi was swept away by the strong winds and started to take damage.

[-123]

[-345]

[-223]

Although the damage dealt was not high, but it was ticking at an extremely high pace. It seemed like Li Yi was in a pinch.

‘5,000 left, the Vile King’s only has 5,000 health left! There was only about 50 seconds more till the 15 minutes are up, once it goes Berserk, all my efforts would be wasted!’

Li Yi’s head started to hurt. If the Mermaid Princess could dodge on her own, he would not have had to waste so much effort.

The repelling force from the spinning suddenly turned into a pulling force, causing Li Yi to lose his balance, instantly being pulled forward.

“It’s over…”

Li Yi muttered in despair. It was at this time, the Mermaid Princess suddenly whipped her fish tail and rapidly pulled Li Yi over.

“Self-awareness?” Li Yi was shocked, but this was not the time for him to ponder about what caused it. Hastily, he roared out loud as he continued to fire his bow, using everything he had to attack the Vile King.

The Mermaid Princess no longer needed Li Yi’s guidance, she was now controlling herself on her own. She retreated and moved forward whenever necessary, her movements were hundreds of times better than when Li Yi was ordering her.

The burden on Li Yi’s shoulders was largely relieved, allowing his damaging potential to increase exponentially.

“Shoot at Random!”

Seeing that time was running out, Li Yi went all out and activated everything he had. He set a Spike Trap that dealt damage over time below the Vile King’s feet. As his entire body glowed gold, he initiated Shoot at Random and started splashing out damage.

It was one of his most desperate moves. Due to there only being a single target around, at least half of the arrows were just outright wasted.

Just as the Vile King’s HP reached 100, Li Yi’s 15 minutes were up. Its entire body turned red as a blinding light concentrated on the mirrors’ surfaces, suddenly bursting out all at once.

A blinding light as bright as the sun was unleashed, the Full-Map One-shotting Skill was unleashed…

[-999999999]

9 menacingly red numbers appeared on top of Li Yi’s head, he was insta-killed on the spot…

“F*ck me!” Li Yi fell to the ground extremely frustrated.

[-20]

[-20]

[-20]

[-20]

Just as Li Yi was lying flat on the ground with immeasurable frustration, 5 ticks of damage appeared on top of the Vile King’s head. With a blood-curdling shriek and a crack, the mirror shattered into a thousand pieces and fell to the ground.

The Spike Trap that Li Yi placed below the Vile King’s feet had activated just in time…
