Chapter 595: Competing Progress

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Being hit by abnormal statuses meant their resistance towards them was not enough. God Mode activated by Li Yi was able to increase his Abnormality Resistance to 60% but this value was not fixed, its rise and fall would be determined based on the target’s level.

Dark Mermaid Princess’ default level was 100 so Li Yi’s Abnormality Resistance was right there at 50%.

“Anyone that has equipment that enhances Abnormality Resistance, or maybe immunity towards abnormal statuses, show them all to me!”

Soon, Li Yi gathered a set of Abnormality Resistance-enhanced equipment. Coupled with God Mode, the value of resistance should increase to 80%.

This was the maximum limit.

“No more? Any more?”

It was then Brother Windcloud Nine spoke, “Check your robot.”

After Li Yi took out his personal robot, Brother Windcloud Nine walked forward to retrieve mail.

Li Yi’s personal robot has many powerful functions. Not only could it repair and perform trades, but it also has the function to receive mail. The existence of this robot has saved Li Yi a lot of time.

“There’s nineteen Abnormality Resistance-enhanced equipment here, take them.”

In a short span of twenty minutes, Brother Windcloud Nine received nineteen Abnormality Resistance equipment…

“How rich…”

“Oh shit, these equipment are trash but expensive. I guess when we’re done with this dark queen, we won’t be using them.”

“Thanks.”

Li Yi has no qualms accepting them. Brother Nine was doing this for the party so he could understand and support where he was coming from.

“Priests, come and collect Muted and Stopped equipment, those with DPS, come and collect Insanity…”

Li Yi made sure he was equipped from head to toe before distributing the rest to the members.

A body of Abnormality Resistance equipment combined with God Mode should bring the resistance value to 90%.

“Alright, let’s go!”

Li Yi took a look at the time before drawing his Orange Quality Bow in full and firing a shot…

It was now a race against time. The party led by Li Yi always took the lead in Pinnacle of the Fire dungeon, how could he not break out in cold sweat seeing someone else surpassing them now?

At the start of the battle, Mermaid Princess resumed to her moaning just like the previous two times when she was attacked. She would not return fire until her HP reach the 50% mark.

It did not take long before Mermaid Princess’ HP dropped to 50% when a sorrowful song rang in everyone’s ears. All party members sustained abnormal statuses once again.

However, it was different from the previous times. The party made adequate preparations in advance, with Li Yi activating God Mode for his resistance to soar to 90% and the Priest class equipped with Muted and Stopped-immune equipment. Although these equipment affected their WIL and caused a drop in HP, they retained control over their mana.

“Dispel!”

“Dispel!”

Priests focused on Dispel, those with DPS focused on attacking while the main tanks were set aside to run amok with seven abnormal statuses. If this situation happened any other time, this group of influential main tanks would have lost it.

That was then, this was now. This was the moment where those with DPS stood up…

As Li Yi’s resistance was at 90%, he was almost immune towards any negative statuses. He fired Flame Arrow after Flame Arrow to burn Mermaid Princess.

40%… 30%… 20%…

With Mermaid Princess’ HP was decreasing consistently, her sorrowful melody turned intermittent and by the time her HP reached 15%, she changed her attack pattern.

Foregoing singing, she started to whip the lash in her hand, snapping it at the party members.

“Bp! Bp! Bp!”

Without ATK, the leather whip cracked by Mermaid Princess dealt zero damage but at each snap, a death of a member surely ensued.

Her leather whip carried a 100% Instant Death effect and the players were only able to resist against this effect by 2%…

“Disperse! Get back!”

Li Yi yelled, prompting all members to retreat. Mermaid Princess’ leather whip’s effect may be insane but the same could not be said for its length. It was impossible for her to take down everyone in one go.

Mermaid Princess was moving at an average speed but with Sky Vagabonds initiating Wind Miracle, members picked up speed and scattered away from her yet at the same time continued to deal damage.

10%… 5%…

As Mermaid Princess’ HP plummeted, her SPD grew faster. Three main tanks were pursued to death, half of those with DPS was gone while all six healers were dead.

During then, Li Yi’s God Mode was almost reaching its limit, forcing him to make a landing. Suddenly, Mermaid Princess pounced over and lashed a whip at Li Yi, instantly killing him.

In a party of 25, only one was still alive.

Qian’er was still alive. With both her feet off the ground and suspending in midair, she unleashed Meteor Fire Shower.

Just as Mermaid Princess closed in on Qian’er, her HP finally hit rock bottom, transforming her into a streak of black smoke curling towards Li Yi…

A victory from the jaws of defeat…

Resurrecting one after another, the party members bubbled over with excitement. After a hard day of work, they finally reaped their reward.

“Guild Master, is Dark Queen your pet?”

“It must be, I saw it flying back to Guild Master’s backpack.”

“OMG, such a sexy dark queen, could it be Guild Master’s mount?”

The fact that Archers could only carry one wild beast-type pet was a common knowledge known by all.

“It’s my mount,” Li Yi examined Mermaid Princess’ changes before answering with a smile.

“What sort of mount is such kick*ss as this?”

“Mermaid Princess.”

Opting to minimize explanation, Li Yi published Mermaid Princess’ attributes.

Usage of mounts was allowed in Soul Land but the outcome was mentioned before. Similar to Brother Windcloud Nine’s experience, the mount would defect into a monster. Hence, Li Yi only displayed the attributes rather than release Mermaid Princess.

Compared to before, Mermaid Princess’ attribute was no different. However, she was now in possession of a new skill, Sea God’s Song.

“Mermaid Princess…”

“I’m so envious, so jealous, so resentful!”

“Why isn’t she mine!”

“OMG, Gu… Guild Master, when you ride her, do you ride on her waist? I can’t… I… wanna cry.”

Comparison always led to odiousness. Cerberus or Ice Queen paled into insignificance against Li Yi’s Mermaid Princess.

Li Yi waved his hand to stop the ruckus, “Take a break and prepare to tackle boss No. 1.”

It was then Brother Windcloud Nine said, “There’s no need to return the equipment earlier. I don’t have a place to put them. Think of it as a gift.”

“Brother Nine’s all about loyalty!”

“Straight to the point!”

“Hahaha, I like.”

Teaming up with Brother Windcloud Nine surely has its benefits.

Having defeated all 25 darkness creatures, Li Yi took a look into the dungeon progress and noticed a new change.

Fluttering Snow Alliance was far in the lead, already defeating seven bosses while Legendary Tribe was close behind, having taken down six. There were currently three parties challenging Hell mode and only Li Yi’s party was 0 in progress.

The 25 darkness creatures were not counted in the regular 30 bosses. This segment was considered the hidden checkpoint where one could choose whether or not to proceed.

In the general dungeon progress, the number one spot was no longer the party who challenged Hero mode but the party who challenged Normal mode and took down 13 bosses.

As the party moved forth, Brother Windcloud Nine walked alongside Li Yi and commented with an upset look in his face, “My wife told me that their party has defeated 11 bosses.”

Li Yi was stunned, “10? Jiaojiao and the rest?”

Glancing over the progress ranking, Li Yi noticed the party who defeated 11 bosses under Advanced mode was ranked second.

“Do you know what my wife told me?”

“What?”

“She said, she was not dumb after all but an issue that lies with the commander.”

Li Yi was shocked.

It did not take long for the party to push through boss No. 1, Spirit Lord’s territory.

The difference between Normal mode and Hell mode was not restricted to the ability of the monsters but its tactical strategy in battle. Tacit cooperation was crucial among the party of 25 with no room for mess ups.

It was then, Li Yi took the spotlight off him and Shangguan Bailu was up as the commander.

Facing an enhanced version of Spirit Lord, this party cut to the point and took down the boss in on go with zero fatalities!

“Let’s continue, let’s continue. Brothers, tonight’s a sleepless night. Let’s go let’s go, let’s welcome Commander Shangguan to blow us, uh no, to sing for us.”

“Hahahaha…”

Technique was not that is needed in clearing a dungeon, but passion. A party filled with endless passion could seize glory one after another!

On this night, Iron Alliance party advanced triumphantly, taking down seven bosses before the break of dawn. Although they were unable to catch up to Legendary Tribe and Fluttering Snow Alliance, they managed to shorten the gap.

One day in reality was three days in the gaming realm. Usually, the party would be disbanded for a rest after a night in the dungeon. However, Li Yi was ready to risk it this time and ordered the party to continue on in order to catch up in progress. It was a day without rest…

It was the afternoon by the time they defeated boss No. 10. There were two girls who could not take it any longer, leaning on their staff asleep while standing up.

Unable to cope with it, Li Yi announced party to disband.

Ding! Ding!

Just as Li Yi was about the quit the dungeon and log off, he received a mail.

Sender, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.

Dumbstruck, Li Yi entered Tyrant Sword King the Fifth in the chatting column to converse in voice note.

“Yes?”

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth seemed out of it as he paused for long before replying, “Guild Master Dark Wing, do you dare to bet with me?”

“What’s on the line?”

“Money!”

“How do we play this?”

“Soul Gate’s first kill. Let’s see if our Fluttering Snow Alliance or your Iron Alliance takes it home. Let’s bet a hundred million on it!”

Li Yi smiled, “Hehe, a hundred million bet.”

“What? Guild Master Dark Wing’s scared? Is the bet too huge for you?”

“No no no, of course I’m ready to accept but what I mean is, the bet’s too little.”

“A hundred million’s too little?”

It was Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s turn to be stupefied.

“Of course!”

“Then how much do you want to make it?”
