MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

Chapter 678: Additional Attributes

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Yi stared at the words inscribed on the scroll with great elation. After making sure there was no error, he instantly erupted with joy.

As of this moment, the Evil God Summoning Scroll had reached 10% progress and had unlocked one skill. That being the case, what would happen if he upgraded it even further? Would it unlock more skills as well?

The answer was most definitely a yes. As long as he continued to upgrade it, he would receive plenty in return.

After checking the materials required to increase the progress to 11%, Li Yi let out a sigh of relief.

It was only 1,000 ‘Exceptional Snow Lotuses’.

The Exceptional Snow Lotus only grew in areas with extremely cold temperatures such as the North Pole Continent. Though their numbers were scarce, as long as players put in their effort, it was not difficult to obtain 1,000 of these Snow Lotuses.

The materials required for the 5th and 10th upgrades were insanely tough, and by the looks of it, the journey to reaching 100% upgrades would be an arduous one.

Li Yi rolled up the Evil God Summoning Scroll. It was then that Snickersnee sent Li Yi a message.

“I’ve given the Shieldsword to Unending Unmatched.”

Snickersnee had finally given out the peerless divine construct he had crafted. Only five days had passed since then, but Snickersnee’s name was now known throughout the Pantheon World. He was now the undisputed Number One Ironsmith in all the major continents.

As for Unending Unmatched, he now carried the eye-catching Shieldsword day in and day out while making his rounds in every major city. After all, who would not want to flaunt something as amazing as this? Trying to stay humble? Hah, that was not the way Unending Unmatched did things.

“What’s the Shieldsword’s additional attributes? Can anyone see it?”

“100 Gold Coins for anyone who can give me the stats of the additional attributes!”

“Please! Please! Please!”

The divine weapon’s appearance had sparked many debates among the players, and all of their topics were somewhat related to its additional attributes...

The reason divine weapons were called divine weapons was not due to their superiority in stats. Instead, the key lied in their additional attributes.

Many people were blindly guessing, but Unending Unmatched had never answered any of their queries. He had only revealed the Shieldsword’s attributes to Snickersnee and no one else, not even Li Yi.

Unending Unmatched did not voluntarily explain it, and Li Yi did not ask. After all, Li Yi was not the type to force people to reveal their secrets as he himself was a man of many secrets. There were many things that he could never reveal, even if others asked him.

Back on Pantheon’s official forum, Bai Xiaoya had updated her Divine Equipment Rankings. Unending Unmatched’s Shieldsword had effortlessly toppled Exorcist’s Admonishing Quarterstaff and climbed up to first place within the rankings. The other equipment remained unchanged. With five new divine items introduced, Li Yi’s Windsword had dropped to tenth place, while his Orange Quality Bow was nowhere to be found among the Top Ten.

Bai Xiaoya’s thread did not specify what the Shieldsword’s additional attributes. The only reason she had placed the Shieldsword at first place was due to its domineering ATK stats.

With an ATK stat that was 6, no, 7 times greater than any other weapon, how could it not qualify? Furthermore, the 20,000 DEF on it was the icing on the cake, as it was even greater than any Epic-level Shield could provide.

Many were dissatisfied with Bai Xiaoya’s new Divine Equipment Rankings. The main reason for their disagreement was due to the lack of explanation of the Shieldsword as Bai Xiaoya did not mention its additional attributes. Placing it at the apex just because of its killer ATK stat was just too much of a stretch.

After all, the Summoner divine weapon, Exorcist’s Admonishing Quarterstaff that used to be on first place did not only reduce damage by 50%, it had even come with the ‘Multiple Summon’ skill. To illustrate how powerful it is, in Chen Yang’s hands, he would be able to summon two Ice Queens at the same time, and if it were in Not Gray Wolf’s hands, he would be able to summon over two hundred Undead.

With the number of overpowered stats that Exorcist’s Admonishing Quarterstaff possessed, it was easy to accept its ranking at first place, but what about the Shieldsword? Was it not too big of a stretch to place it there just because of its superior ATK stats?

Many did not agree with Bai Xiaoya’s new rankings. There was now a huge verbal war within the forums as the community was now divided into two parties, with one supporting the Shieldsword and the other disapproving of it.

As the saying goes, let fists do the talking. In truth, determining the Shieldsword’s true power was pretty simple, as players only needed to fight Unending Unmatched.

On the tenth day of Unending Unmatched’s possession of the Shieldsword, the Fluttering Snow Alliance’s Elite, Drifting Snow, Not Gray Wolf, and the newly joined member, Black Wing headed off to the Invincible Continent to hunt prey.

Ever since the brutal beating Black Wing had given Drifting Snow and Not Gray Wolf, there was a fire within them that refused to be extinguished. However, even if both of them ganged up on Black Wing, they still were not his match. That was just how powerful the Dwarf Wizard’s Territory Skill, Ten Miles Frozen was.

Solo-ing was not an option for them, but even then, they refused to admit their defeat to Black Wing. After all, a wannabe player would never be worthy of their attention.

In other words, they still looked down on Black Wing.

Since soloing was a no go, they needed other methods to prove their superiority over Black Wing. As such, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth suggested that they head to the Invincible Continent to hunt players. Whoever managed the kill the most players would be dubbed the number one Territory Master of the Fluttering Snow Alliance.

With the aid of his flying mount, Drifting Snow managed to land directly in Shattered Frost City. This time, however, he was not interested in their buildings. Instead, his targets were the players in the city.

With the power of his Territory, Absolute Invincibility, nobody could come close to killing Drifting Snow. Not Gray Wolf, on the other hand, utilized his immortal body to mass-produce undead, spreading disaster wherever he went.

As for Black Wing, well his methods were even more gruesome. It was already an indisputable fact that Wizards possessed extraordinarily high damage, but this was even more true for Black Wing. Every time he brought down his Blizzard Spell, there was bound to at least a dozen casualties. At times, that figure could increase to over a hundred players as well.

One should never assume that the Wizards had paper-thin defenses, as this logic was inapplicable to Black Wing. So long as he was casting Blizzard, his body would be enveloped with a thick layer of transparent ice crystals. Any attack that came close would be intercepted by these ice crystals, and by the time he had massacred over 500 payers, he was still at full health.

“Every brother who is online, head to Shattered Frost City now and get rid of these three dogs!”

The Invincible Continent’s voice channel was blowing up and countless players were pouring in through the teleportation door.

However, at that instant, somewhere near the teleportation door, a player named Black Wing, who was surrounded by ice crystals, was levitating in mid-air like a god of the skies. He extended his hands and unleashed a Blizzard onto the teleportation door.

“Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!”

Hundreds of icicles came raining down, and the players who had just teleported over suffered heavy blows. Before they had even gotten a grip of the situation, they were already lying on the ground. Furthermore, the teleportation door was still under attack, and its HP continued to decline...

“Ten Miles Frozen!”

Black Wing thundered, and ice crystals linked up with one another, instantly freezing everything around the teleportation door.

“Crash!”

The teleportation door’s HP had bottomed out and it crumbled. At the same time, the players who had been encapsulated in ice were frozen solid, suffering a lasting death, and losing their rights to even corpse run...

“Black Wing, 998 kill counts!”

“Not Gray Wolf, 797 kill counts!”

“Drifting Snow, 135 kill counts!”

As the trio continued to massacre the masses, they used the territory channel to report their scores. It made for an extremely aggravating sight.

“Where are our nation’s officials? Are they all f*cking dead? Why didn’t I see a single one of them?”

“F*ck, is this the downfall of our nation? Why are they allowing these bastards to run around scot-free?”

“I’m really speechless. F*cking hell...”

The players who had died were now raging. However, the target of their cussing was not Drifting Snow, and instead, it was their nation’s officials.

Many players did not know, however, that the nation’s officials had already arrived early on. Flower Underpants had been the first to arrive, but he suffered the worst fate among them. The moment he teleported over, and before his eyes had even registered anything, he had already been crushed by Black Wing’s Ten Miles Frozen.

Confused Fox had been the second to arrive, and he shot a series of Arcane Missiles at Black Wing. However, the damage was only a string of zeroes. His opponent returned fire by firing an Ice Missile, and with that, he had been defeated.

Many national officials had arrived on the scene, but neither of them could put a stop to Drifting Snow and gang. With Li Yi and Queen Jiao offline, everyone else was no match for them.

“Black Wing, 1398 kill counts!”

“Not Gray Wolf, 1197 kill counts!”

“Drifting Snow, 335 kill counts!”

Drifting Snow and his party continued using the territory channels to talk to one another. At times, they had even laughed out loud, causing the Invincible Continent players to be filled with rage.

Their assault had happened just as Li Yi had gone offline, otherwise, they would not dare to act so pompously.

“Is there no one else in the Invincible Continent?”

“Are all the pros from the Invincible Continent dead?”

“Are the officials of the Invincible Continent eating sh*t?”

“F*ck you, Not Gray Wolf, you piece of sh*t!”

“I’m going to f*ck your mom Drifting Snow...”

Curses were uttered incessantly, and corpses were littered all about Shattered Frost City. It was at that moment, however, that Unending Unmatched descended from the sky with the Shieldsword in hand and landed directly in front of Drifting Snow.

When Drifting Snow and gang arrived in Shattered Frost City, Unending Unmatched and Brother Windcloud Nine were farming a dungeon. The moment they received notice of the invasion, he rushed back to the city with all due haste. However, his arrival had been slightly delayed due to the teleportation door’s destruction.

Seeing Unending Unmatched, Drifting Snow could not help but to issue a snarky remark. “The wielder of the number one divine weapon, the Shieldsword? Hehe, can it kill me though?” Unending Unmatched moved so fast that he was a blur, and he suddenly appeared before Drifting Snow with his Shieldsword raised high up. He then violently brought it down onto Drifting Snow.

[−0!]

An exalted streak of a blade could be seen cutting across Drifting Snow’s body, but only the figure of −0 appeared on top of his head.

Seeing the 0-damage dealt, Drifting Snow let out a huge sigh of relief. He then laughed out uncontrollably, “Haha, my Territory is Absolute Invincibility, so what if you have the Shieldsword? Do you really think you can kill me? Dumb*ss!”

Unending Unmatched’s face twitched slightly as he stabbed his Shieldsword directly into Drifting Snow’s chest. However, the damage number that appeared was still −0.

[Attack Nullified!]

Even though it was THE Shieldsword, it was unable to inflict any damage on Drifting Snow all because of his Territory Skill — Absolute Invincibility.

“Bam!”

Drifting leaped backward as he fired an arrow. He then thrust out his hand and a Rocky War Bear appeared below his feet.

The Rocky War Bear was a Level 100 Gold Quality Pet. It possessed middling ATK stats, extremely high P-DEF, but abysmally low M-DEF.

“Clang!”

Unending Unmatched brought up his Shieldsword and deflected the arrow that Drifting Snow fired.

That was one of the Shieldsword’s special effects, the ability to be used as a shield at all times.

Rocky War Bear charged forward, and Unending Unmatched slashed at it with his Shieldsword. A magnificent streak sliced across the air, but again, the damage number of −0 appeared.

While Drifting Snow’s Territory was still active, the pets he summoned would share the same characteristics of his Territory as well. This was one of the perks that came with being a Pet Archer.

“Hahaha...”

Drifting Snow was cackling ever more delightfully.
