MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks 584 Summoner’s Crystal Shards

Curse Land.

Chen Yang leaned on his staff as he released a heavy exhalation of exhaustion. He looked at Li Yi with a beat up look on his face.

It was 3 am in the morning and to have Fatty crawl out of bed, was a miracle.

Li Yi was full of spirit, putting on his Cursing Sect Outfit and shuffling to and fro among the Cursing Disciples, in search of the quest monster Fatty needed to conquer.

Each class had a corresponding Epic-class quest and persisting through such quests would reward players with an Orange Quality weapon. However, this was only in theory as only a handful of players were able to come through.

The Epic-class quest of Summoners was far more difficult than the Archer class. Chen Yang’s progress was stalled because he couldn’t find the quest item and he was not the only stuck there.

“The Summon Force quest’s requirements are to search for Crystal Shards containing foreign Summon Force in Curse Land.”

Chen Yang yawned as he read the quest out to Li Yi.

“Brother Yi, don’t bother. I cleared the monsters in the place dozens of times and those piece of crap foreign Crystal Shards still haven’t dropped. Whatever, I’m not doing this quest anymore.”

“What do you mean you’re not doing it? Do you know what this quest will lead you to?”

“What?”

“Go and take a look at Bai Xiaoya’s post in the forum and you’ll know.”

Chen Yang tuned in to the forum with a half-conscious mind and it was only when he took a glance at Bai Xiaoya’s Divine Weapon Ranking that he regained his spirit.

“Exorcist’s Admonishing Quarterstaff! Brother Yi, this quarterstaff is obtained from the Epic-class quest?”

“Yeap.”

“What are we waiting for? Let’s do it! C’mon out, naked ass chick~”

Chen Yang raised his staff into the air and summoned the Ice Queen, Shiva. The name, Flashy Lass in orange emerged above her head.

Fatty sure has a wicked sense of humor to alter his Ice Queen’s name to this…

“Kill kill kill!”

At the sound of Chen Yang’s order, Flashy Lass swayed the hips of her fair ass and unleashed a snowstorm.

One move from a Level 100 Legendary summon beast instantly wiped out a group of Level 40 monsters. Li Yi snuck into the swarm of monster to loot them, while Chen Yang remained at the back and started a killing spree, stirring a huge hubbub in the whole of Curse Land.

The thing that bothered players the most in Curse Land was not the swarms and swarms of ant-like monsters but the traps all over the place that enlarged, shrunk, poisoned, decelerated, slowed, etc. players. If a player were to accidentally step on the most powerful Dark Curse, then congratulations, even HP comparable to giant dragons would hit rock bottom, instantly meeting with death.

Disguised as a cursing monster, Li Yi did not have to worry about any curses, but Chen Yang was doomed. He had failed to obtain a Cursing Sect Outfit from the Curse Book quest shared to him by Li Yi. With that quest on hold, he had to navigate the land with his own two feet.

Hovering above the ground, the Ice Queen did not have to worry about stepping onto curses, leaving Chen Yang to be the only human mine detector.

Just fifty meters out, Chen Yang had stepped on three curses — Shrinking, Slow, and Muted.

“Brother Yi, don’t move so fast. Wait for me…” Chen Yang yelled out.

“Stop killing at random. Stand there and don’t move. Retrieve your pet and wait for me.”

“Oh oh…” Chen Yang retrieved his Ice Queen and sat on the ground to wait for Li Yi.

Li Yi shuffled to and fro among the Cursing Disciples crowd. He did not bother with the lowest-level Cursing Disciples and headed straight to the elites.

He had a vague idea how to complete the Archer’s Epic-class quest, but he was completely in the dark about the Epic-class quests of other classes.

Li Yi may be familiar with the skills of various classes, but this did not mean that he was familiar with their individual quests. He did not have any clue about how to progress through the Summoner’s Epic-class quest.

However, Li Yi could grasp an inkling from the quest details. Obviously, shards containing foreign Summon Force would not be dropped by Red Robes. Amid the Cursing Disciples, only the black and white bosses and Green Robe High Cursing Clergy had the ability to summon monsters.

They were the key to finding the shards.

Li Yi arrived at the Cursed Altar to find both the black and white bosses long dead. They had yet to respawn.

Green Robe High Cursing Clergy was a rare elite monster with a variable probability of respawning. Rarer than the black and white bosses, it could respawn immediately after death or respawn after several months…

With players’ level averaging on the higher end, it was rare to find players grinding levels in Curse Land. However, there was no shortage of players in search of rare elites and bosses.

Li Yi was about to turn and leave, considering the absence of the black and white bosses when a huge fireball crashed onto his head. Pft! His HP went down 11,124 points.

“A rare elite Green Robe! Quick, kill it!”

With dozens of tiny black dots flocking towards him, Li Yi felt dejected. Not only had he not managed to find the boss, but he was even mistaken as a monster.

“Nanananan…”

Placing his palms together, Li Yi recited an incantation to release twenty-something Yellow Robes. He then hastened to sneak into a swarm of monsters.

“This elite is too sneaky. Everyone, hurry up!”

A scramble of shouts was heard coming from behind him.

“Nanananan…”

Li Yi unleashed Yellow Robes as he went, breaking away from the battle. After putting some distance between them, he took off his Cursing Sect Outfit. Apparel could not be removed during battle or he would not have had to go through all that trouble.

“Buddy, did you see a rare elite Green Robe come your way?”

A Dwarf Violent Warrior holding a double blade was the first to run over and question Li Yi.

Li Yi pointed, “It ran to the left.”

The Dwarf Violent Warrior eyed Li Yi and expressed his gratitude. He then dragged his double blade and sprinted off.

“It’s high time you have a taste your own medicine after chasing me around.”

Watching as the party ran toward the left following the Dwarf Violent Warrior, Li Yi felt invigorated. Curses were packed in that direction so there was a slim chance of getting out alive after barging in there.

Chen Yang jumped up at the sight of Li Yi, “Brother Yi, have you found the quest monster?”

“No, the black and white bosses were killed, and the rare elite Green Robe is nowhere to be found.”

“What are we going to do now?”

“We’ll have to wait. Don’t you want an Orange Quality Quarterstaff?”

“I do. How can I not? I read it again and again and now I’m not tired anymore,” Saliva was dripping out of Chen Yang’s mouth.

“Then let’s wait.”

Li Yi put on his Cursing Sect Outfit again.

Chen Yang looked at Li Yi and smacked his thigh, “Brother Yi, will the quest item drop if I were to kill you?”

“I’ll kill your f*cking ass!”

Li Yi walked towards some Red Robes and was greeted with a nod as a sign of respect from them.

With Li Yi gone, Chen Yang looked around for a while before kicking back on the ground.

“Hey Fatty, did you see an idiot Archer around?”

The disheartened Dwarf Violent Warrior who had been pointed in the wrong direction by Li Yi came over.

Chen Yang was offended, “Look who’s talking? Who’s the fatty and who’s the idiot Archer?”

The Dwarf Violent Warrior ran his mouth, “F*cking hell, there’s an idiot Archer who gave me the wrong directions, resulting in the death of my friends!”

“Oh, I see,” Chen Yang narrowed his eyes and shook his head. “I haven’t seen an idiot Archer, but I have seen an idiot Violent Warrior.”

“What? F*ck, who are you talking about?” The Dwarf Violent Warrior jumped and stabbed at Chen Yang.

“Pst ceeeuuu —”

Chen Yang slipped behind the Dwarf Violent Warrior with Instant Slip-away and summoned Fire Elf.

“Wham! Wham! Wham!”

Fire Elf used three Fire Fists, smashing the Dwarf Violent Warrior in his face…

Chen Yang was at Level 100 and equipped with top-notch equipment, whereas the Dwarf Violent Warrior was only Level 76, and equipped with half Gold half Purple Quality equipment. Whether it was in equipment or in levels he was on the losing end, how could he be a match for Chen Yang?

“C*nt Fatty, how dare you sneak up on me?” The Dwarf Violent Warrior lay on the ground and showered him with abuse.

“What a foul mouth.”

Chen Yang positioned Fire Elf by his corpse and leaned on his staff to stare at him.

After a while, the Dwarf Violent Warrior corpse ran and revived but a Fire Fist from Fire Elf instantly obliterated the Dwarf Warrior.

“F*ck your forefathers! Don’t leave if you have balls!”

“Did your sword hurt me? Did your words hurt me? You can’t even beat me in anything, yet you’re so cocky.”

Chen Yang slammed his staff down, almost stuffing it down his throat.

“Don’t you act all high and mighty, Fatty. Just you wait!”

Chen Yang was amused by this guy, “So I’ll wait.”

Ever since he obtained the Ice Queen, Chen Yang’s favorite pastime was to gather points in the Arena. His old success rate was only 30% but now he had raised it to 56%.

“Multiple PK? Great, I’ll wait for you!”

Five minutes later, 11 players at a similar level to the Dwarf Violent Warrior came running over. Without saying a word, they immediately attacked.

Although they did not have high levels or powerful equipment, they would win because of their numbers. Chen Yang would not be able to survive for long if he just stood there and let them have their way.

Fatty had quick reflexes, unleashing Phantom Footprints and summoning the Ice Queen.

“Wham!”

At the appearance of the Ice Queen, the earlier Fire Elf turned into ashes.

“Flurry of Dancing Snow!”

Snowflakes descended from the sky onto the players, decelerating their SPD.

With decreased ATK SPD, it was as though they were walking on the moon.

The Dwarf Violent Warrior got up and Charged at Chen Yang, swiping four slashes at extreme speed in the process.

“Szh szh szh krr!”

The four cuts sliced open the air shroud of Invincibility from Phantom Footprints…

“Oh, you really have a hand on you.”

The moment the air shroud of Invincibility was smashed to bits, Chen Yang suffered 5 attacks, reducing half his HP. Luckily, he was quick on his feet. With a wave of his staff, he switched places with the Ice Queen using Switch.

The party’s follow up attacks ended up hitting the Ice Queen.

Firing Ice Arrows and Ice Spears repeatedly, the party of 12 including the Dwarf Violent Warrior lay flat on the ground in a blink of an eye.

“Shall we continue?” Chen Yang was arrogant.

The Dwarf Violent Warrior’s voice was trembling, “Just you wait, I’m calling my boss over. That’ll tear your pride apart!”

“You’re going to call more people? Alright, I’ll wait for you.”

Twenty minutes later, Li Yi received a help request from Chen Yang.

“Brother Yi, come quickly! My coordinates are 133556:246763, I’m being camped, sob sob sob…”

…

Chen Yang lay on the ground and cursed at the figure in black before him, “F*ck your mother, tell me your name!”

“I’m Fengxi, you can look for me anytime,” The man in black did not bother to turn back as he left these words.

…
