MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

Chapter 413 - Flame Dragon Sabatons

Panda Novel

Wicked Flaming Dragon collapsed. However, Li Yi and Jiaojiao did not receive the first kill notice from the System Notification.

This was a weaker version of Wicked Flaming Dragon that was found exclusively in a Hall of Fame dual quest. Thus, it was not counted as a global first kill.

Ching! Ching! Ching!

A flaming sword flew out from within the body of Wicked Flaming Dragon and hovered in the center of the grotto, turning slowly on its axis.

It was the divine weapon, the Fire Dragon Sword!

Wicked Flaming Dragon’s body had immediately disintegrated once it had lost the Fire Dragon Sword. A human skeleton lied in its wake.

It was Prince Thunder of the Fetched Moon Country!

Ching! Ching! Ching!

Although the Wicked Flaming Dragon was dead, the Fire Dragon Sword was still functioning. The temperature in the grotto was still rising…

“Can’t we loot the body? We c only take this sword?”

Jiaojiao returned the greatsword and walked towards the Fire Dragon Sword.

“Don’t get close to the Fire Dragon Sword!” Caitley, who had only a skeleton torso left, immediately barked at Jiaojiao to stop her.

“Those who don’t possess the blood of the royals of the Fetched Moon Country shall never hold the Fire Dragon Sword. Otherwise, they will be turned into ash.”

“Of course you would say that; you’re an NPC! What do I have to fear when I can be resurrected even after death?”

Jiaojiao did not bother to listen to Caitley’s warning and stepped forward to take the Fire Dragon Sword in her hands.

Poof!

A puff of green smoke rose from the ground. In an instant, Jiaojiao has turned into ash and disintegrated into the winds…

Since her flesh was destroyed, Jiaojiao was forcibly transported to the temple outside of the Wailing Grotto. She had been dropped a level to serve as a penalty.

Li Yi took out his friend summoning tool to pull Clan Master Jiao back to him.

“There was a saying that girls with big boobs usually have no brains. Why are you proving them right?”

“Thank you, O’ disciples of Augustus…”

At the same time, Caitley’s remaining skeletons emitted a bright white glow and gradually levitated into the air.

The quest to slay Wicked Flaming Dragon was completed. Both Li Yi and Jiaojiao’s bodies glimmered as they were leveled up once again.

“Wicked Flaming Dragon is no more. My wish has come true. Thist bracelet for the both of you. Bring it to Augustus.”

Then, Caitley’s remaining skeletons disappeared into a blinding white light.

A shiny bracelet flew automatically into Jiaojiao’s hand.

Li Yi held onto the bracelet that could only be used once more. He compared it to Jiaojiao’s bracelet and laughed.

“We each have one of this. It’s an accessory for couples .”

“Although it has the same appearance, their properties are different. My bracelet doesn’t display its attributes. All I see is a series of question marks.”

Jiaojiao handed the bracelet over to Li Yi to have a closer look.

[Caitley’s Love Bracelet: ???]

“Keep it. It’s a quest item. If we lost it, all our previous efforts will be for nothing.”

Li Yi placed the two bracelets together and passed them over to Jiaojiao.

Li Yi approached the Fire Dragon Sword. He seemed to be thinking about something as he stroked his chin.

This divine weapon was extremely powerful. Just think about how it had made Wicked Flaming Dragon! It would be impossible for someone who did not originate from the royal family of the Fetched Moon Country’s bloodline to pick it up.

One would only end up like Jiaojiao should they pick up the sword anyway.

It was just like what Jiaojiao had said: even if the NPC could remain unmoved before the divine weapon, the same would not apply to them. They were players who could be resurrected after they die.

Thus, Li Yi began to experiment with different methods to put the Fire Dragon Sword into his Backpack without coming into direct contact with it. He tried for a long time before finally declaring his failure.

The precondition of putting items into the Backpack was that the player had to touch it with their hands…

“Perverted Yi, what do you think would happen if I were to cut it with Lord of Disaster?”

Jiaojiao took out Lord of Disaster again and stopped before the Fire Dragon Sword. She began swinging her sword at the divine weapon.

Li Yi laughed. “You could try.”

“Watch me!”

Jiaojiao swung Lord of Disaster with both hands and swept at the Fire Dragon Sword with all her might.

Whish!

Just when Lord of Disaster was about to cut the Fire Dragon Sword, the latter sliced open a void and escaped through it. This divine sword had already developed its own intelligence and was unwilling to forcefully clash with the Lord of Disaster.

“Hahaha, it’s afraid. My sword is truly amazing!”

“Amazing my a*s! the Fire Dragon Sword ran away.” Li Yi was momentarily speechless.

“Perverted Yi, since we wouldn’t be able to get the Fire Dragon Sword, and we have completed our quest already, should we go back or remain here to continue to level up?”

“Of course we’re going back. However…”

“Forever Together!”

Clan Master Jiao lifted her greatsword and disappeared into thin air.

Forever Together was an exclusive special skill of all kings. It was the most powerful Return City skill of all.

“What an impatient temper…” Li Yi shook his head helplessly.

Soon after that, Li Yi has received the King’s Order from Jiaojiao. It was not a national call that summoned all citizens of the country this time but one that was targeted at the members of the guild near the Wailing Grotto.

Pretty Good Mood and everyone else went back already. Only Lonely Semi City refused the summon and insisted to stay and level up right there.

The King’s Order that Li Yi had received would hover above his head for as long as 3 minutes. That was to say that the King’s Order would automatically disappear if it was not accepted within these 3 minutes.

Li Yi did not click on the order because he still had one issue that he cannot seem to understand.

Where did Terrence the Dragon-Slaying Warrior go?

Wicked Flaming Dragon’s death has opened up all the magical gates of the Flaming Dragon Lair. He saw Terrence scrambling towards him just when he was about to go and find him.

“I sensed it! the Fire Dragon Sword was here!”

“What? Wicked Flaming Dragon is dead? This… This is impossible! Who else could kill him aside from me?”

Terrence stared at the sight before him in utter admonishment. Finally, his eyes focused on Li Yi.

Terrence’s voice was trembling as he said: “Did you kill Wicked Flaming Dragon?”

Li Yi nodded.

Terrence mumbled to himself, “This…This…This…”

“Thousands of years ago, Thunder, who had betrayed his family, escaped along with the Fire Dragon Sword. That has directly led to the demise of the Fetched Moon Country. Since then, killing Thunder has become the mission of the descendants of the royal family in the Fetched Moon Country. My grandfather and my father had all perished in the hands of Thunder. Now, I…”

Terrence cradled his head in pain before collapsing on his knees.

Ching! Ching! Ching!

A crack appeared in the air and the Fire Dragon Sword leaped out of it from the void. It levitated on top of Terrence’s head, spinning continuously as if it was calling to him.

Terrence’s eyes shone brightly. “Is this the Fire Dragon Sword? It’s the national divine weapon of the Fetched Moon Country!”

“Don’t touch it!” Li Yi reminded.

Terrence bowed deeply at Li Yi and passed a piece of equipment to him.

“You killed Thunder, and for that, I must thank you. This is the only equipment on me that was still complete. I’ll give it to you then.”

Ding!

A pair of red boots appeared in Li Yi’s hand.

[Flame Dragon Sabatons (Leather armor, purple-colored)]

[Equipment Level: Unlimited]

[AGI +500]

[END +300]

[SPD +20]

[Special effect: Increase Fire Resistance by 90 points.]

[Special effect: Increase EVA by 15%.]

[Special effect: This item will never wear out.]

[Flaming Dragon’s Roar (Special skill): Release the power of the Flaming Dragon to repel all enemies close to you. Skill Cooldown: 10 minutes.]

[Note: This sabaton was made from the skin of the Ancient Flaming Dragon. Not only was it hard in texture, it also contains some of the power of the Flaming Dragon. It is very powerful and is the heirloom of the royal family of the Fetched Moon Country.]

Terrence has reached out to the Fire Dragon Sword as Li Yi was still studying the Flame Dragon Sabatons.

Sssst!

A puff of white smoke rose from Terrence’s palm when he held onto the Fire Dragon Sword. It was so hot that he had loosened his grip on the sword almost immediately.

Even though he did not turn into ash like Jiaojiao did, his entire hand was badly burnt. It had swelled up to look like a pig’s feet.

“The bloodline of the Fetched Moon Country’s royals has become thinner with time as it was passed down from generation to generation. My generation could no longer hold the Fire Dragon Sword anymore.” Terrence sighed.

Ching! Ching! Ching!

The Fire Dragon Sword continued to spin in the air as if it was laughing at Terrence.

Enraged by the sight, Terrence tried to hold the sword once again. The white smoke appeared, and his entire arm was burnt bright red in just two seconds.

If he had not let go in time, he could have been cooked alive.

“I can’t hold you now solely because I don’t have enough power to. Just you wait and see. One day, I’ll tame you with my bare hands!”

Terrence nodded at Li Yi before he ran out of the lair while holding his arm.

This was the end of all quests, right?

Li Yi put on the Flame Dragon Sabaton and felt like he had become so much more powerful.

SPD +20. This effect alone was enough to make this sabaton so powerful that it was called a creation that defied nature. Not to mention, this sabaton also had a special skill: the Flaming Dragon’s Roar. This special skill was similar to the Wizard’s Resistant Ring of Fire that could repel enemies. This skill was incredibly useful for a ranged class like the Archers.

Ching! Ching! Ching!

Just when Li Yi was hesitating on whether he should click on the King’s Order to return, the Fire Dragon Sword in the air suddenly became very agitated. From time to time, flames rose from the sword and roars of the Flaming Dragon could be heard coming from within the sword.

Ssst!

The the Fire Dragon Sword suddenly shot at the remains of Prince Thunder and buried itself in it.

“Roar!”

The skeleton of Prince Thunder stood up. Its body was engulfed in flames and grew larger and larger gradually. In the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a gigantic Wicked Flaming Dragon…

The word ‘Weak’ was nowhere to be found on top of its head. Its Hp was also full, indicating that this Wicked Flaming Dragon was a true Level 100 Boss!

At this moment, only five seconds were left on the timer of the King’s Order. Li Yi accepted it without hesitation.

Ssst!

Before the Wicked Flaming Dragon’s flame could reach Li Yi’s body, he had already disappeared.

The teleported location was set at the Celestial Capital of the Invincible Continent. Jiaojiao was no longer present in the area.

She was the queen after all. She would be followed by onlooking players no matter where she went in the Invincible Continent. She could never get rid of them.

“Coordinates. At the foot of Blade Peak. 2311444:2311111.”

Li Yi sent a pair of coordinates to Jiaojiao and teleported himself to the foot of Blade Peak.

Jiaojiao teleported to the same place soon after. Together, they summoned the Ice Toad King and jumped towards the peak…

On top of Blade Peak, Augustus gazed into the far distance as he always did. No one knew what he was pondering in his mind.

“Old man, here’s the bracelet that you wanted us to find.”

“Wham! Wham!”

Two large toads jumped up and landed on the peak. Then, Jiaojiao took out Caitley’s Love Bracelet and handed it to Augustus.

“This is it, this is the bracelet! This is Caitley’s only relic!” Augustus became very excited and inspected the bracelet that was lying on his hands thoroughly. Suddenly, a white light shot out of the bracelet and Caitley’s soul wormed its way out of the bracelet.

“Caitley, is that you?”

“Yes, it’s me…”

Augustus and Caitley conversed for a while. Initially, Li Yi and Jiaojiao could still overhear what they were discussing, but soon they realized that they could no longer hear anything. Their conversation has already become an exchange between two souls.

After a long time, Caitley’s soul disappeared into the bracelet once again. Augustus wiped off the tears from the corners of his eyes before smiling at Li Yi and Jiaojiao. “I see hope in the two of you.”

Ding!
