MMO: Pierce Heaven Til’ It Breaks

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Li Yi took off his trousers because he wanted to stuff the cat’s foul mouth with them, but the One-eyed Giant suddenly chose that time to use Earthquake, causing the earth to shake violently.

Both Li Yi and The Cat that Sings lost their balance and fell.

Once they were struck by the One-eyed Giant’s Earthquake, players would not be able to control their bodies, and their health would continuously drop as well. If the two of them were not so far from the One-eyed Giant, the quakes would have long since killed them.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The One-eyed Giant continued to stomp, again and again, the powerful vibrations caused Li Yi and the Foul-mouthed Cat to need to move constantly with it. With every shockwave, they moved a little closer together, and Li Yi’s half-removed trousers fell accordingly as well…

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

As the quaking continued, Li Yi’s body ended up pressed tightly against the Foul-mouthed Cat’s. They bounced up and down, and somehow, while Li Yi started off on top, after a few more rounds of bouncing, the Foul-mouthed Cat was the one who ended up riding on top of Li Yi.

“F*ck you! F*ckkk! F*ck, y-you… you… you…” The shaking was too intense, so The Cat that Sings could not even complete her sentence.

The quaking continued.

“F*ck, Territory Release!”

The Territory light barrier shook slightly.

“Mmmmmm zmmm…”

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The quaking continued…

Once the One-eyed Giant’s Earthquake caught a player, it would never stop. Li Yi and The Cat that Sings bounced up and down for half a day before both died to the vibrations…

Sister Cat rushed back toward the dungeon as quickly as she could…

Li Yi followed closely behind her, giving chase.

When they were in soul form like this, all they could do was run. The Foul-mouthed Cat corpse-ran desperately, all so she could resurrect first and then camp Li Yi’s corpse.

Once this cat lost her temper, there was no telling what she would do.

It made sense once you considered her past. She had even disbanded her guild over her personal matters, which just showed how self-centered she was. Would a person like that care about anything else?

Li Yi may be much stronger than The Cat that Sings now, but if she did resurrect before he did, the situation could still get very bad, very fast.

The two souls dashed into the Strength and Glory Dungeon, one after the other.

The two of them resurrected at almost the same time, but as soon as Li Yi opened his eyes, he saw a bright blade gleam right before his face.

“F*ck you!”

“Pfft!”

[−9678]

The Cat that Sings used Strangulation and halved Li Yi’s remaining HP. He had just resurrected, so he was Weakened and his health was low.

Li Yi fired up his Rocket Propellant and dashed forth rapidly, successfully avoiding The Cat that Sings’ follow-up killing move.

“If I don’t f*ck you dead today, I’ll change my last name from Bai!”

The Cat that Sings had already lost her mind. She had never been taken advantage of like that over her entire life, so how could she not be mad?

As The Cat that Sings was chasing him with Cyclone Step, Li Yi activated God Mode. With a spread of those wings, he launched himself into the air.

The Strength and Glory Dungeon disallowed the use of flying mounts, and The Cat that Sings was no Sky Vagabond, so now that Li Yi had flown into the air, there was nothing she could do but glare at him.

The Cat that Sings stomped her foot, swearing. “F*ck you, you big-d*ck punk, get the f*ck down here!”

Li Yi stayed in mid-air, calming himself down. A channeling bar appeared his head over and over again, indicating that he was accelerating his Territory recovery.

After a player died and was resurrected, they would lose all their Territory Energy regardless of whether or not they had used it before dying. If that were not the case, Li Yi could have made things much easier by just releasing his Territory again and settling the problem of the Foul-mouthed Cat.

He stayed in the air for five minutes and recovered 10% of his Territory Energy. Only then did he return to the land.

With Territory Energy in hand, he had nothing to fear from The Cat that Sings anymore.

“F*ck, if you dare to play me like that again, I’ll… I’ll…” The Cat that Sings waved her dagger threateningly, but her actions betrayed her. When Li Yi landed, she instinctively took half a step back.

That clearly meant that she was scared!

Li Yi asked, “So are we here to kill the boss or each other?”

“I’m here to help you kill the boss, but you were the one who f*cking turned on me first! It’s all your fault, you got it?!”

“I was thinking about something, and I couldn’t get my thoughts straight with someone yapping in the background. You wouldn’t stop swearing either, so was it any wonder that I snapped?”

“Even so, you can’t go apesh*t on me like that! You even immobilized me, f*ck! I bet you just think I’m pretty, so you wanted to f*ck me.”

“Well, no, I really didn’t…”

“…”

After a long conversation, Li Yi and The Cat that Sings finally got the misunderstanding ironed out.

“You should have f*cking told me sooner! I wouldn’t have lost my b*lls at you if you had.

“Forget it. I mean, you helped me out in the past. I’ll just pretend it was all a dream. Gah, this is so motherf*cking frustrating!”

The two of them stopped fighting against each other and started fighting together again, turning their Individual Attack mode to Party Attack mode.

Not long later, the two of them reached the One-eyed Giant again. Li Yi resurrected the Violent Bear King and summoned Alleria again.

When the battle began, The Cat that Sings used Stealth to sneak behind the One-eyed Giant, purposely keeping a distance from Li Yi. It seemed that even Sister Cat was afraid of that incident repeating…

Now that the battle had begun, Li Yi cast Mislead on the Violent Bear King and attacked the One-eyed Giant at the same time. After the Violent Bear King was tossed into the air, Alleria charged forth.

The One-eyed Giant’s ATK was much higher than the giant monsterlings’, but there was only one One-eyed Giant, unlike the giant monsterlings that came in groups. That was why Alleria could find time to use Healing Spells on herself even while she blocked it with her shield. In other words, she could tank it perfectly fine all alone.

Alleria could stand her ground against the One-eyed Giant all alone, no problem, at least for a good while.

The first segment was easy, but the battle intensified when they reached the Earthquake segment.

When the One-eyed Giant raised its leg, they had to brace themselves to leap before it stomped down. If they got caught by the quakes, they were dead meat.

Li Yi and The Cat that Sings were both relatively skilled, so they managed to jump in time, thereby rendering the One-eyed Giant’s Earthquake utterly useless.

At the same time, the main tank Alleria had even less of a problem dodging the Earthquake. She was a Vagabond by class, which meant that she could use a short-term flight skill like the Air Dance Technique. When she saw the One-eyed Giant lift its foot, she simply flew into the air. The subsequent quakes had nothing at all to do with her then.

The Cat that Sings stood behind the One-eyed Giant, jumping as she dealt damage. She swore as she fought, taking out all her anger on the One-eyed Giant and acting like a downright banshee.

Well, she was already a banshee to start with…

The One-eyed Giant had plenty of HP, but its attack styles were too straightforward, so as long as players were powerful enough, defeating it was merely a matter of time.

Of the Five Ancient King Party-level Dungeons, Strength and Glory was the simplest one.

You could pass as long as you had the equipment for it, and that applied to any player.

An hour later, just as the One-eyed Giant was about to go berserk, Li Yi and The Cat that Sings took it down and achieved its first kill.

The Cat that Sings sat on the ground, panting loudly. “We finally did it. That was exhausting…”

Defeating the One-eyed Giant may be a simple task, but they still had to jump continuously for an hour to avoid its Earthquakes. Anyone would be worn out after that.

Li Yi was bone-tired too. He wiped the sweat off his brow and sat on the ground to recover his breath, telling The Cat that Sings to loot the body instead.

“Why’d you ask me to loot it?”

“Cuz my luck sucks…” Li Yi admitted honestly.

“F*ck you!”

The Cat that Sings pointed her middle finger at Li Yi and got up. When she saw the One-eyed Giant’s corpse, her eyes began to light up.

Looting corpses was addictive, and that applied to all players. The Cat that Sings was no exception.

After rubbing her hands for ages, Sister Cat stepped forth and touched the body lightly.

“Ding!”

The Virtual Inventory Pane appeared and listed three items.

[Frost Emperor’s Valorous Breastplate Fragment x10]

[Night Emperor’s Shadow Bracer Fragment x11]

[Sky Emperor’s Whirlwind Helmet Fragment x21]

…

The three types of equipment fragments shimmered in front of Li Yi.

“…”

The Cat that Sings asked Li Yi slightly nervously, “How’s the loot? Is it any good?”

Li Yi stayed silent for a long time before he managed to say, “It’s all trash…”

This was a Heroic difficulty Party-level Dungeon, and somehow they had not gotten even one complete piece of Emperor Equipment. They barely got any fragments, too. That luck was almost unbelievably bad…

It… was even worse than Li Yi’s.

The Cat that Sings looked dejected. “Well, f*ck me. I wonder why, though? Why’s it always like this…?”

Li Yi was stunned and utterly speechless as he looked at The Cat that Sings.

‘Don’t tell me she’s always been this unlucky? Is her hand blacker than mine?’

Of course, Li Yi was right yet again…

The Cat that Sings swore angrily, “F*cking hell, I haven’t gotten a single good hand ever since I started the game. Gah, I wonder why that is? It’s pissing me the hell off.

“Punk, do you know why that is?”

Li Yi cleared his throat somewhat awkwardly. “I’m in the same boat.”

“F*ck!”

“Do you want to announce the first kill?” asked The Cat that Sings, but before Li Yi could reply, she swore again. “That f*cking retard messaged me again.”

“What retard?”

“Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.”
