MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

[Player “Name Hidden” has achieved the first kill of the Sixth Demon God and put an end to the demonic invasion of the Pantheon Continent. The player earns a reward of 1,000,000 Gold Coins. Let us rejoice…]

[This event has been recorded in the Pantheon Hall of Fame!]

[The player has been awarded another 10 Skill Points as a reward!]

[The player has been awarded 5 Ancient Sealing Runestones (Purple Quality) as a reward!]

[The player has been awarded 5 Epic-level Treasure Maps as a reward!]

[The player has been awarded 1 Pantheon Ruins Teleportation Scroll as a reward!]

…

The rainbow-colored announcement filled the World Channel, repeating over and over again…

“No way…”

“The heck?!”

“What the f*ck is this?”

“I just arrived at the Sixth Demonic Domain! Who’s the motherf*cking bad*ss?”

“Name Hidden? F*ck me, hey, you, First Killer! You got the balls to show your name?”

The World Channel was flooded with curses. The Sixth Demon God had died too quickly, and they could not accept it.

After all, only one group had managed to defeat the Seventh Demon God thus far, but now the Sixth Demon God had already been taken down. Was it any wonder they were mad?

“This makes no sense!”

…

[Congratulations! You’ve obtained the achievement, I Have Another Date with the Demon God.]

[Congratulations! You’ve obtained 5 Skill Points as a reward!]

[Congratulations! You’ve obtained 100 Demon-vanquishing Points.]

[Congratulations! You’ve leveled up!]

…

In the Demon God Halls, Li Ti listened to the cheerful jingles as he casually picked up the items the Sixth Demon God dropped.

He had not used any tricks to kill the Sixth Demon God, and had instead steamrolled it with pure skill with his ridiculously high Holy Point multiplier.

812 Holy Points were more than enough for him to kill the Sixth Demon God!

As a result, he succeeded, and the Sixth Demon God fell at his feet before it could even attack…

Of course, if he had not learned the OP skill, the True—Overlord Arrow, he would not have come to challenge the Sixth Demon God so soon, 812 Holy Points or not.

The True—Overlord Arrow was crucial to his victory over the Sixth Demon God.

[True Overlord Arrow (Learning Requirement: Level 1 Overlord Arrow): Shoots a powerful arrow with 1100% ATK, attacking all targets directly ahead. When the arrow hits a target, it can interrupt the target’s casting. It also generates a formidable punch of momentum, knocking the target back…]

The Overlord Arrow was very powerful, but it was not an Assassination Archer’s strongest skill. In order to unlock its full potential, the skill had to be upgraded.

Alenod had given Li Yi an Orange Quality Treasure Map, and this time he had gotten lucky. When he stuck his shovel in, a True Overlord Arrow Skill Tome had leaped out.

It was because he had this ridiculously OP skill that Li Yi had the guts to challenge the Sixth Demon God solo.

The Sixth Demon God dropped a decently impressive haul, including three random pieces of Purple Quality Equipment and three pieces from the Demon God Set, including two that Li Yi could use.

[Demon God’s Hunter’s Helmet (Purple Quality, Holy +11)]

[Equipment requirements: STR 2500]

[P-DEF +1000]

[M-DEF +1000]

[END +500]

[Special Effect: Recovers 10 MP every second.]

[Special Effect: Reduces all skill cooldown times by 10%.]

[Special Effect: Increases the level cap for all Archer Skills by 5. (Inactive. Requires the user to wear at least 3 Demon God Series equipment in order to activate).]

[Special Effect: Increases the level cap for all Archer Skills by 10. (Inactive. Requires the user to wear at least 6 Demon God Series equipment in order to activate).]

…

[Demon God’s Hunter’s Bracers (Purple Quality, Holy +9)]

[Equipment requirements: STR 1500]

[STR +1000]

[AGI +1000]

[END +500]

[Special Effect: Recovers 10 HP every second.]

[Special Effect: Increases SPD by 15%.]

[Special Effect: Increases the level cap for all Archer Skills by 5. (Active. Requires the user to wear more than 3 Demon God Series equipment in order to activate).]

[Special Effect: Increases the level cap for all Archer Skills by 10. (Inactive. Requires the user to wear at least 6 Demon God Series equipment in order to activate).]

…

Although the Demon God Equipment he had just obtained had fewer Holy Points than his existing equipment, Li Yi still equipped every piece happily. The Demon God Set had higher attributes than the Commander Set, but it also looked way cooler.

Li Yi now had three pieces from the Demon God Set.

They were the Demon God’s Hunter’s Breastplate, the Demon God’s Hunter’s Helmet, and the Demon God’s Hunter’s Bracers respectively.

The helmet had a pair of ox horns and two long horns growing from each shoulder. It looked quite brutal…

Now that he had equipped all three, all of his Archer Skills had their level cap increased by 5. His skills became significantly more powerful too.

On the other hand, Li Yi had no use for the three pieces of random equipment, and the last Demon God piece was for Wizards, so he could give it to Qian’er.

Other than the equipment, the Sixth Demon God also dropped an Archer Skill Tome, to Li Yi’s immense satisfaction.

[Level 1 Extermination Arrow (Learning Requirement: Level 20 Elimination Arrow): The upgraded form of Elimination Arrow. When the target has less than 10% HP, there’s a 100% chance of exterminating the enemy. When the target has less than 20% HP, there’s a 50% chance of exterminating the enemy. When the extermination fails, the power of the attack will be reduced to that of a normal attack. When the target has more than 20% HP, the extermination will not take effect, and the user will suffer a punishment where the character cannot be controlled for 6 seconds.]

The True Overlord Arrow was similar in nature to the Overlord Arrow in that neither could be leveled up, but the same did not apply to the Extermination Arrow.

To level up the Extermination Arrow by 1 level required 3 Skill Points, so by the time Li Yi maxed out the Extermination Arrow, he had used 60 Skill Points in total.

[Level 20 Extermination Arrow (Learning Requirement: Level 20 Elimination Arrow): The upgraded form of Elimination Arrow. When the target has less than 20% HP, there’s a 100% chance of exterminating the enemy. When the target has less than 30% HP, there’s a 50% chance of exterminating the enemy. When the extermination fails, the power of the attack will be reduced to that of a normal attack. When the target has more than 30% HP, the extermination will not take effect, and the user will suffer a punishment where the character cannot be controlled for 6 seconds.]

60 Skill Points was nearly everything Li Yi had saved up, and he was the only one who could afford to splash so many Skill Points into this skill. Any other player would find it much more difficult to max out Extermination Arrow.

After he kept everything the Sixth Demon God had dropped into his Backpack, Li Yi finally nodded, satisfied, and ran toward the front hall…

“Aragon, that b*stard!”

“I hate hearing that name! Gah, I can’t stand it, I’ll kill him!”

“I’m losing my temper!”

“Aragon…”

In the front hall, the Four Demon Generals were still expressing their rage against Aragon through clenched teeth. They had no idea that while they were spouting this nonsense, their leader had been done in.

Li Yi ran back and the Four Demon Generals cursed again. A system notification appeared; [You have entered Battle Mode…]

These four idiots had dragged him into Battle Mode.

Li Yi replied calmly, “I… I am Aragon’s friend.”

The Four Demon Generals stopped roaring and stared at Li Yi in shock, rendered speechless for a good while.

System Notification: [You have left Battle Mode…]

“I’m going to see the Lord Demon God!”

“That’s right, let’s ask Lord Demon God. If he gives the green light, we’ll kill this lackey and Aragon at the same time.

“Hahaha, good idea…”

“C’mon, let’s go to Lord Demon God!”

The Four Demon Gods helped each other into the Demon God Hall.

Li Yi did not linger. Leaving the Demon God’s residence, he hurried toward the Uninhabited Grass Hut as quickly as he could.

The death of the Sixth Demon God would plunge Karan City into chaos, and millions of demons would gather again, looking for the Demon God’s killer everywhere.

“Jiaojiao, Qian’er, hurry back to the Uninhabited Grass Hut. The Karan City demons are going to riot.”

“You monster, I just knew it had to be you!” replied Jiaojiao.

“What do you mean, it had to be me?”

“You’re the one who killed the Sixth Demon God, duh!”

“But it really wasn’t me.”

“Go on, keep pretending.”

“I swear to you, Queen Jiaojiao, it really wasn’t me. Okay, that’s enough talk, run, run quick…”

When Li Yi reached the Uninhabited Straw Hut, Jiaojiao and Qian’er had long since been waiting for him inside.

Qian’er asked, “You OP monster, you sure you weren’t the one who killed the Sixth Demon God?”

Li Yi shook his head. “It wasn’t.

“I was doing the Search for the Truth quest…”

He had nothing to do anyway, so he came up with a story to trick the two girls.

“I knew it, there really is a powerhouse!” Jiaojiao came to an epiphany.

Qian’er rolled her eyes at Jiaojiao, clearly unconvinced.

Just then, the world outside the Straw Hut exploded.

The death of the Sixth Demon God came as a shock to the millions of demons, and they began to wander around Karan City in order to find the culprit.

At this stage, even Morphing Potions would not help. There was only one way to avoid the demons’ hunt, which was to hide in the Uninhabited Straw Hut.

The Uninhabited Straw Hut in Karan City was nothing short of a miracle. Any player who hid in here were guaranteed to stay safe.

“Whoa, the view outside is terrifying. It’s a demonic army…” Jiaojiao lay sprawled before the window, looking out.

Qian’er reminded her, “Be careful, make sure they don’t see us.”

Li Yi smiled. “Don’t worry. As long as we’re in here, the demons can’t harm us.”

Those hiding in the Uninhabited Straw Hut were safe, but the many players who were farming in the Demonic Forest outside Karan City were in for a rough time.

When the furious demons scoured the city to no avail, they immediately rushed out of the city and killed anyone on sight…

The Demonic Army was as unstoppable as the tide, and before they knew it, countless innocent players had been sent back to their cities for free.

The army cleaned up every player trying to grind in the Demonic Forest, and then it surged into the Foreignland Entrance. As a result, the tragedy that occurred a few days ago repeated itself…

Compared to the suffering of the masses, Li Yi and the others were completely fine. As soon as the Demonic Army rushed out of Karam City, the three of them left the Uninhabited Straw Hut.

“Do your own thing, but message if you need me.”

Li Yi threw one more line at the two girls and ran off on his own again.

The Search for the Truth quest was 100% complete now. It was time to turn in the quest to Aragon.
