MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks 431 Advancing Smoothly

“Boom!”

The Star Arrow exploded, dealing 17,578 critical damage to Akna!

“I am here to deliver a message under Lord Deathwing’s orders.”

Li Yi blurted out a blatant lie and waved the ‘secret letter’ in his hands. He waved it around as he backpedaled and cleaned up the remaining skeletons.

“Deathwing?”

Akna flinched. She extended her hand and a black vapor enveloped the secret letter, bringing it to her grasp.

“How are you doing, my old friend Akna?”

The letter suddenly emitted Deathwing’s voice, and though Akna reacted as if it was normal, Li Yi was shocked.

In truth, aside from the words written within the secret letter, it also contained some of Deathwing’s power. Once it got in contact with Akna, it will let out the voice he left behind.

Deathwing’s voice was very soft, and though he could catch the first few words, he could not hear the remaining words.

“Ding!”

System Notification: [Akna’s attitude towards you has been converted into ‘Friendly’.]

‘Success!’

Although Li Yi could not hear the contents of Deathwing’s message, Akna’s sudden change in attitude had shown that the secret letter had done its job.

‘Yuria will issue quests, how about Akna? What kind of quest will I receive?’

Li Yi was all fired up, and at that point, none of the remaining skeletons attacked him. After all, the relationship of both parties had been changed from enemies to friends.

“You are a messenger from Deathwing, and as such, you are also my guest. Come and take a seat.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

Akna waved towards Li Yi and led him into the darkness.

The end of the cave was extremely dark. Li Yi stretched out his hands and waved it in front of his eyes, but to his surprise, he could not see them. ‘It’s so dark! I can’t even see my hands!’

“A few days ago, I had a bout with that b*tch Yuria and I hurt myself during the fight. Otherwise, I would not need to hide and recuperate in this place, which in turn has delayed the plans of your master. However, I am curious, how did a human become a subordinate of Deathwing?”

Li Yi smiled and gave a distraction. “I am also intrigued. How did the black-robed girl that ran out just now become your apprentice?”

“Cack cack cack…” Akna let out a burst of ominous laughter.

Li Yi managed to feel something within the darkness, and he sat down on it. Akna had gone silent.

“Akna?” prodded Li Yi.

“Hmm?”

“Do you not have any divine weapon or Epic-level quests to issue?”

“Hmmmm??”

“Never mind, ignore what I said.” Li Yi’s face had disappointed expression, as he had abandoned dungeon clearing to make it here, only to receive nothing.

‘Did I come here for nothing?’

Akna suddenly spoke. “Deathwing has allowed me to hand over the Dragon Clan Taming Methods to you. However, I have some doubts as you are a human…”

‘Taming the Dragon Clan!’

Li Yi was immediately invigorated, and he was excited.

“What’s there to doubt? Although I’m a human, my favorite pastime is causing havoc. Be it murder, stealing, or snatching stuff, I’m all in for it. My loyalty for His Eminence, Deathwing knows no bounds, otherwise, how would I have become his messenger? Don’t you think so, Your Eminence?”

“Hmm, what you said makes sense, but…”

Li Yi was starting to get impatient. “No buts, just give it to me, and I assure you, I will deliver it to master Deathwing posthaste.”

‘Come on, be a good girl. Once I get my hands on the method…’

“How about this, I need to enter a deep slumber to recover my mana, so, I need you to keep guard here, and prevent anybody from disturbing me. If you can do this task well, I will consider handing the Methods of Dragon Clan Taming to you.”

Ding!

System Notification: [Accept the quest, Protect Akna?]

‘Accept!’

Li Yi was at a loss, after all, he had no other options at that point of time.

Ding!

[Congratulations, you have received the quest, Protect Akna.]

[Quest Title: Protect Akna]

[Quest Requirement: Ensure Akna’s safety during her deep slumber. The quest fails if Akna dies. (At least 3 days)]

[Quest Difficulty: Rank A]

[Quest Reward: ???]

‘…’

‘Rank A difficulty?’

Li Yi was dumbfounded.

The higher the quest difficulty, the tougher it is to complete it. The quest, Protecting Akna was Rank A, which meant that danger was inevitable…

“Messenger of Deathwing, I hope that you do not disappoint. Also, if that girl returns, tell her to continue fishing…”

Akna’s voice got softer and softer, and before long it vanished completely as she had faded into slumber.

The dark aura from the surroundings began to move and converged on Akna…

‘Sh*t. F*ck this quest, it says that it takes at least three days, which in turn, indicates that Akna would definitely not awaken within these three days. However, when will the danger arrive?’

‘Could it be that I’ll need to constantly guard this pile of bones for three days?”

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated Li Yi got. A thought suddenly crossed his mind, and he walked towards Akna to loot her.

‘Well, she’s asleep anyways, better loot her to see whether she’s packing any good stuff. I can leave once I get the Dragon Clan Taming Methods.’

Although caressing corpses did not feel good, Li Yi could care less…

From top to bottom, Li Yi had patted down every spot. However, he soon realized that aside from Akna’s bones, she had nothing else. Even the pitch-black staff she was wielding had disappeared…

Akna was currently just a regular skeleton.

‘F*ck!’

Li Yi spat out a curse angrily.

The experience of waiting was excruciating, and while he was here, Pretty Good Mood and the others were already working on clearing the dungeon. Updates came every once in a while, and within a short span of two hours, there were already ten or so groups that had taken down the first boss.

There was more room for error as their levels increased, which made the extremely difficult boss a cinch against the fully equipped players.

Li Yi lounged for a while longer. Once he realized that the ice cave was quiet and without any traces of danger, he let out a sigh of relief. After pondering on it, he lost against his temptations and opted to log out. Then, he hurriedly ran out of his house and went upstairs to look for Jiaojiao.

Jiaojiao had also participated in the dungeon clearing, and to top it off, she was enlisted within the top Elite Party.

After pressing the doorbell a couple of times, Xie Qin opened the door. When she saw that it was Li Yi, she broke out into a grin and was delighted.

Li Yi politely exchanged formalities and rushed straight to Jiaojiao’s room.

Jiaojiao was wearing the game controller and lying on the bed in a relaxed pose.

Li Yi turned on the external display, and it showed the current state of Jiaojiao’s battle in Light Conference.

Pretty Good Mood was currently leading the party and they had reached the second boss, the Gryphon Paladins.

The display showed Jiaojiao wielding her meter-wide greatsword with both her hands as she charged forward to hack, slash, cut, stab, poke, and used various skills masterfully to launch a beautiful 9-combo strike. The attack had sent a Gryphon Paladin flying.

Li Yi nodded his head, pleased. “Not bad, you’re starting to look like a pro.”

Jiaojiao was currently cut off from all external noise. Although the controller had warned her of an intruder in a room, she knew that it was Li Yi and turned off the external noises.

She could not hear anything that Li Yi said, she had devoted her entire soul into the game…

“Number 3, number 5, number 16, number 76, number 34, and number 57, move forward! Number 12, number 11, number 9, number 8, prepare to intercept. Everyone else, finish off the remaining Gryphon Paladins!”

Pretty Good Mood let out a thunderous cry. Ten or so Gryphon Paladins swooped down and were immediately intercepted by the party. Everyone had their own jobs, and athough it looked chaotic, there was actually no flaws.

This was their third attempt!

“There will be 60 Gryphon Paladins in the next batch. First team, prepare to intercept! Second team, get ready as well, make sure to fill in any gaps you spot!”

Pretty Good Mood’s shouts constantly rang out, which made Li Yi very pleased.

‘Now this is how a commander should be like.’ Though Pretty Good Mood was currently lying dead on the floor, the makings of a good commander were not in their gaming skills, but their masterful grasp of the big picture.

“A group of Gryphon Paladins will touch down in the next five seconds, team 3, prepare to greet them!”

“Healers, do your job properly! You don’t need to heal to full health, just half is enough!”

“Take note, take note! The hardest moment is upon us. After 10 seconds, 100 Gryphon Paladins will rain down on us. Number 1 to Number 100 and the 30 people in charge of picking off the stragglers, keep an eye out. Once we get over this phase, we’ll be done for good. Otherwise, we’ll need to restart!”

100 Gryphon Paladins bore their talons as they dived down. Jiaojiao was the readiest out of them all, and she used her Death’s Grasp to drag over the Gryphon Paladins that she was responsible for.

“Don’t stop! Everyone focus! The Gryphon Paladin’s barrage is continuous, and not only once. They’ll return immediately after entering the clouds, so focus on the ones you’re responsible for. Also, healers, you better do your work!”

Pretty Good Mood’s voice had gone hoarse, and from the looks of it, he was really serious this time. He had given his word to Li Yi, and if he did not get the first kill, it would be akin to slapping himself in the face.

After all, ever since Little Drunk Cat had made it big, a core member like Pretty Good Mood had a salary well in the millions.

‘Years of training for this single moment!’

The scene of battle was hectic, as at the moment the Gryphon Paladins got flung to the sky, they immediately came back. All one hundred of the Paladins were like that, making the battle as chaotic as imaginable. Fortunately, everyone in the party had already leveled up, and even the weakest one was already at Level 85. Their defenses were thick, and any damage taken was immediately healed up,

As long as nobody made any huge errors, taking down the second boss was no problem!

Li Yi suddenly shouted. “Jiaojiao, use Death’s Grasp on the ones on your left. Quick! The two idiots are going to make a big mistake, quickly!”

“Death’s Grasp!”

Jiaojiao had already acted before Li Yi had completed his sentence. With a single cast of Death’s Grasp, she had pulled over the Gryphon Paladins he mentioned. She swung down her blade, and with a thud, a 4-combo counter appeared on top of their heads.

Only a few classes were able to continue the combo attacks of others, and Dark Paladin was one such class.

‘Death’s grasp is such a godsend!’

Pretty Good Mood bellowed, “The sudden barrage has ended. Everyone give it your all! Little Elf, unleash the wind god! Fire Ice, use Holy Light Illumination!”

“Wind Miracle!”

“Holy Light Illumination!”

“Undead Army!” Jiaojiao raised her greatsword up high and cast her ultimate skill.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The party’s DPS soared, and numerous Gryphon Paladins fell along with the party members…

They were in their final phase, which was all about DPS!

A long time later, when the party only had around 50 people left standing, Jiaojiao swung down her sword and finished off the final Gryphon Paladin.

Cheerful music was broadcasted!

‘They passed!’

“Hahaha, they passed!”

Li Yi was overjoyed. He ran over to Jiaojiao’s side and cupped her little cheeks and gave her some passionate kisses.

“Lil Yi, we’re having….”

Xie Qin cheerfully entered the room, and saw the scene…
