MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks-Chapter 903 - Breaking the Limit
Chapter 903: Breaking the Limit
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Frankly speaking, making it through the Open Colosseum was an easy task for those who were not aiming for high scores. As long as the player had appropriate equipment, reached the appropriate levels, and possessed the skill to ‘grind’ down their enemies, surviving for an hour was an easy task.
Jiaojiao was one of those players who excelled in grinding down their enemies. Being a Dark Paladin who possessed the super-powerful HP recovery ability, Mortal Strike, she did not even bother with killing the monsterlings. All she did was run, and whenever her HP was low, she would just use Mortal Strike to recover it. With that, she had easily lasted through the entire hour.
While Jiaojiao claimed that she was the first to achieve the feat within the server, it was not actually the case. Her misunderstanding was caused by a minor bug within the game.
Any player that completed their first attempt at the Open Colosseum would be thrilled when they checked the Point Rankings, as they would find themselves in first place.
However, their position in first place was actually fake, as the System would not display the players’ rankings before the God Wars officially took place.
“Well, congratulations then! You’re really amazing Jiaojiao! Truly amazing!”
While Li Yi was kiting the Superior Earth Spirit Lord around, he made sure to flatter Jiaojiao with compliments.
“Wahahaha, why of course, I’ve always…” Jiaojiao was so ecstatic that she could not even close her mouth.
However, Jiaojiao was not the only one. As more and more players cleared the Open Colosseum, more First Place players started to appear, causing Mount Pantheon to erupt with celebrations.
“I’m in first place, haha!”
“No, I’m in first place. I’m goddamn awesome.”
“What’s this? I’m also in first place, though.”
“Are you f*cking kidding me? I’m in first place too!”
Without exception, everyone who had cleared the stage was ranked in first place. There was not a single second place in sight.
1Most players would attempt a ‘grind’ strategy for their first attempt in the Open Colosseum. After all, everyone knew that the further behind a monster was, the stronger it was. Due to this, they had opted to survive the entire stage rather than potentially failing the challenge. Only players like Li Yi who had prior knowledge would attempt the challenge after obtaining the buff.
“Boom! Boom!”
The Superior Earth Spirit Lord did not put up much of a fight before it was killed by Li Yi and Dolly who were both radiating lights.
After dying several times, the current Enhanced Dolly’s normal shots had already far surpassed Li Yi’s. Had she been able to use either True Overlord Arrow or Shooting Star Arrow Hail, Li Yi would have been better off standing on the sidelines.
“Kaboom! Kaboom!”
The earth shook, and a greataxe-wielding fifty-meter-tall giant came stomping toward Li Yi.
It was the legendary warrior of the Giant Clan, and its name was Timor. It was Level 210, had a purple name, and was so powerful that it could kill players in a single hit.
Li Yi frowned as he rapidly moved back.
Aside from the final boss within the Open Colosseum, every other enemy encounter in the Open Colosseum was random. Naturally, the Giant, Timor was also among the random encounters. Some players could go for years without ever encountering it, whereas some would meet it almost every day.
Encounters with Timor were generally treated negatively as not only did the punk have a fearsome attack power, its attacks were almost always lethal. This is especially annoying in the colosseum as upon death, players would be immediately pulled out of the challenge. Even those who had a Resurrection Sacramental Stone were powerless to stop it from happening.
“Thud! Thud!”
Dolly did not back off and had charged ahead instead. With two quick pulls of her tiny bow, two shining little arrows landed directly onto Timor’s eyes.
“Pew! Pew!”
[−8765544]
[−7677899]
The damage from Dolly’s Chain Arrow Skill was nearing the ten million threshold!
“Wretched dwarves, I will CRUSH both of you!”
Timor swung its greataxe, and with a merciless flash of the blade, Dolly had dropped onto the ground in her egg form.
Although Timor was massive, its attack speed was not to be underestimated as the attack that it had launched moments ago had neared the speed of a Blademaster’s Lightning Blade.
While firing arrows and pulling back, Li Yi had also let loose his Chrono Territory.
Not only was Timor over Level 200, but it was also a purple-named Boss. As such, the suppression effect of Li Yi’s Chrono Territory on it was extremely limited. However, Li Yi’s goal was not to suppress it, and instead, the activation of his Territory was to enable him to teleport around.
After all, Li Yi could only teleport within the area of his Chrono Territory.
“Damned midget, I’ll see how far you’re able to run!”
Timor’s body was way too large, and a single one of its steps surpassed dozens of Li Yi’s. After two or three steps, it had already appeared before Li Yi, and it unleashed slash after slash of its greataxe mercilessly at Li Yi.
Within the Open Colosseum, the measure of a monster’s strength was not in its levels, rather, it was determined by the number of Stars it had. The final boss of the Open Colosseum had a 10 Star rating of its abilities, whereas Timor was only worth 6.5 Stars.
While Li Yi was being chased around by Timor, he made sure to constantly utilize his Teleport, which had, in turn, allowed him to avoid one fatal strike after another. Simultaneously, his Teleports had also allowed him to pull a distance away from Timor, which prevented him from being stuck within its attack range.
“Squeak! Squeak!”
Dolly had revived once again, and she was emanating a white glow. The moment she broke out of her egg, she immediately unleashed her Overkill Arrow at Timor.
“Bang!”
A cluster of stars erupted from Dolly’s hands, forming into a tiny white twinkling arrow that hurtled at breakneck speed towards Timor.
“Thud!”
[−53432256]
Just a single shot had dealt over 53 million damage!
“Damn you!”
Timor spun around and headed towards Dolly.
“True Overlord Arrow!”
Li Yi assumed an offensive position and gave chase to Timor from behind.
“Squeak! Squeak!”
Dolly had grown smarter. She was no longer standing idly as she fired her shots and had instead utilized her wings to flee. While she did so, however, she also turned around to fire some shots at Timor whenever she had the chance.
While Timor was able to easily catch up to Li Yi, the same did not apply to Dolly. Despite her tiny frame, her flight at full speed was unbelievable. She was like a volatile shooting star that could travel over a hundred meters in a blink of an eye.
Now that Timor’s attention had been diverted to Dolly, Li Yi could deal with Timor way easier. No matter how he attacked, he would not attract Timor’s aggro, as all Timor could think about now was to catch Dolly and crushing her.
Dolly fled, Timor chased, and Li Yi constantly fired from behind. This process had gone on for around 8 minutes before the Giant, Timor had finally perished.
“Skit-skit-skit-skit—”
The moment Timor collapsed; a Giant Ant Swarm that consisted of over ten thousand ants appeared!
“Shoot at Random!”
“Thud…thud…thud…”
Li Yi unleashed his Shoot at Random while he took off into the skies on Onyxia.
“Screech—”
A wave of Bone-eating Bats flew in from all directions and surrounded Li Yi.
The moment players took to the skies, flying monsters would appear. Furthermore, the longer the players remained in flight, the stronger the monsters would become.
“True Overlord Arrow!”
“Tch-tch—”
Monsters were everywhere around Li Yi, above and below. As such, the only option Li Yi had was to finish off the Bone-eating Bats that were currently before him.
After being overrun by the Giant Ant Swarm, Dolly had returned to her egg form yet again.
The situation was growing dire by the minute!
At this point, there were still 31 minutes before the Open Colosseum stage would end!
“HOWL—”
A battered skeletal dragon was flying towards Li Yi…
…
