Chapter 526: Mount Emblem
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Mortal Strike! Mortal Strike! Mortal…”
Outside Shattered Frost City, Jiaojiao was wielding her greatsword and slicing Onyxia.
Onyxia was ordered by Li Yi to stay put and as her HP gradually decreased, her resistance towards Soul’s Oath Scroll weakened. She lay on her tummy, shouting in rage as she took the beating without the nerve to counterattack against Jiaojiao.
After seeing his Affinity with Onxyia decrease significantly with two arrows, Li Yi dared not fire his bow anymore. At that rate, by the time Onyxia’s HP reached below 10%, the Affinity between them would probably turn Hostile.
While he could not beat her with his own hands, that did not mean someone else could not. Thus, Li Yi pulled Queen Jiao who was in the midst of tackling Conquer Dungeon.
Lord of Disaster wielded by Jiaojiao was an outstanding weapon. Other Orange Quality weapons required seals to be broken or unlocked through certain quests to wield its full potential but Lord of Disaster had none of that. The power of this weapon depended on the strength of its holder.
The more creatures killed, the higher the attributes of this sword. Jiaojiao’s ATK had far surpa.s.sed Li Yi but she was not on par when it came to DPS. Lord of Disaster’s ATK SPD was too slow while Orange Quality Bow, amongst all Orange Quality weapons, was one of the fastest.
“Evil mortal, you will pay for your sins!” Onyxia bellowed with a mouth of Dragon’s Breath ready to blow.
“Stop!” Li Yi sensed trouble and had Jiaojiao hold her horses.
By this point, Onyxia’s HP had halved.
“Wait for a while before continuing to attack.”
Jiaojiao heaved her greatsword and asked, “Perverted Wing, why didn’t you come to Conquer? The dungeon’s fun, we’re having a whale of a time.”
Li Yi shook his head, “I’ll be there later.”
His current equipment was almost pa.s.sed Tier 2 now and Conquer, being a large-scale entertainment dungeon, was only for fun. He was not interested in getting the First Kill just like before.
It was best to leave Conquer Dungeon’s First Kill to Little Elf from the Magical Realm.
“Jiaojiao…” Li Yi embraced Jiaojiao as they sat down, asking her, “When’s Ice going back?”
“Ice said she’s comfortable living with me so she’s not going back.”
“F*ck, it’s really inconvenient having her around.”
“What’s inconvenient about that? I thought you wanted to try a threesome? This is your chance,” Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes, giving a lopsided grin. Her expression really resembled a cat.
“F*ck a threesome… but really though, cough, can I?”
Jiaojiao playfully stuck her tongue out, circling it around her lips and tempting him with a seductive voice, “I’ll be leaving the door unlocked tonight, I dare you to come in.”
…
The two took a break for half an hour before continuing to beat up Onyxia.
Due to Li Yi standing on the sidelines and not helping, the Affinity between Onyxia and him continuously fell. However, the rate of the fall was not as severe as when he personally attacked her.
He could afford this reduced rate.
Under Jiaojiao’s repeated cuts, Onyxia’s HP dropped to below 10%.
Onyxia looked fragile, gasping for air as she lay on her belly, yet she could not defy Li Yi’s order. It was not just total obedience in her actions, she was no longer in control of her own expression.
It was the obedience of both heart and mind, showcasing the horror of the Soul’s Oath Scroll.
“Argooloo, aloo, looaloo…”
As the ancient Dark Incantation left Li Yi’s lips, Onyxia’s body trembled violently, prompting her to curl up into a ball and s.h.i.+ver.
Dark Incantation, upon achieving a substantial form, flew above Onyxia’s head in a circle before slowly entering her mind.
“Perverted Wing, do I still need to hit her? Ice is calling me.”
“There’s no need for now. You can go but remember, leave the back door open for me.”
“Back door? Pah! You perverted thug!”
With Jiaojiao gone, Li Yi continued to recite Dark Incantation, provoking an even bigger reaction from Onyxia.
“I will not bow down to you, mortal. How could the all-powerful Black Dragon Princess be at your mercy? Father, brother, mother…”
Onyxia was raging wildly as Dark Incantation twisting on top of her head stopped its drilling.
“Looaloo… Looaloo… Looaloo… Looaloo…”
Li Yi hastened the incantation and finally, Onyxia’s revolt was tamed. She was far too weak to resist the incantation.
“Mortal… I will not bow down…”
Suddenly, Dark Incantation twisting on top of Onyxia’s head illuminated in a black radiance, absorbing Onyxia’s enormous body into it.
Poof!
The Black Dragon Princess disappeared while a Black Dragon emblem the size of a knuckle fell onto Li Yi’s palm.
He succeeded in obtaining a Mount Emblem!
Reading the attributes of his Mount Emblem, Li Yi raised his fist up with enthusiasm.
[Black Dragon Princess Onyxia (Orange Quality Legendary-level flying battle mount with a low probability of acquisition)]
[SPD on land: 180%]
[Flying SPD: 350%]
[Raging Breath (special battle skill): Black Dragon Princess’ forte which can multiply the damage dealt with Dragon’s Breath towards all enemies in the front.]
[Black Dragon’s Protection (special pa.s.sive skill): Permanently reduces 10% damage suffered by the master.]
[Secrets (special pa.s.sive skill): Conversing with Black Dragon Princess could result in a pleasant surprise.]
{????? (???): Level has not met the unlock requirement.]
…
Li Yi waved his arm to summon Onyxia from the Mount Emblem.
Compared to before she was turned into a Mount Emblem, the current Onyxia was a smaller size at around thirty meters in height compared to her previous hundred-meter height.
As mounts only played support roles, Onyxia would not possess the same abilities as when she was a boss. However, compared to when she was a boss, the current Onyxia had its advantages, such as the ability to level up through earning EXP.
“Transform!”
“Pft!”
At Li Yi’s order, Onyxia turned into the appearance of female human Wizard, Katrana.
Onyxia’s special skill, Secrets was only effective in human form.
Li Yi asked, “Any secrets to share?”
Onyxia answered, “In a pine forest near Shattered Frost City lies a cave. I once heard that a valuable rare book was buried in the depths of the cave.”
So this was how Secrets worked!
Li Yi’s eyes lit up.
He used to own Onyxia in the past life but it could not be compared to the current mount.
The mount in his past life was obtained through killing and looting Onyxia, while this one was the result of Soul’s Oath Scroll and Dark Incantation. Furthermore, the former was an Epic-level while the latter was a Legendary-level. It was a striking level difference.
Pine forest cave? Could it be the lair of the Pinewood Brigands?
Summoning Holy Light Warhorse, Li Yi and Onyxia shared the ride to the pine forest.
There was a cave in the pine forest that used to be the brigands’ lair but ever since the brigand leader, w.a.n.g’er’s Uncle became Castellan, the group of bandits no longer sp.a.w.ned there. The place was occupied by Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g’s gang and became Huashan’s guild base.
“What other secrets are there in the pine forest? Spill!”
“I… I’m very tired, I can’t recall any for now.”
Onyxia’s Secrets skill was similar to Mermaid Princess’ Treasure Hunt in terms of time restriction.
“Kill… Kill the idiots of Huashan!”
“Don’t let anyone escape! Take them all down!”
“F*ck, you motherf*ckers! Kill them!”
Though still at a distance, Li Yi could already hear cries of war coming from the direction of the pine forest.
Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g and his gang were in the process of being wiped out again. Bai Xiaoya’s unraveling of Huashan’s secret had led to its tragedy.
Huashan did not have a boss behind it. Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g was the boss but that idiot, out of respect to the former boss, styled himself as second-in-command. With the truth out, Huashan Boss had left a certain group of people unsatisfied.
Defiant Zephyr who was ganked to Level 0 by Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g’s gang was one of them.
Defiant Zephyr was fuming out of his ears when he read Bai Xiaoya’s exposé post, prompting him to lead a group of people to the pine forest. This time, Defiantly Tyrannical had a change of opinion over the matter and unlike before, he turned a blind eye towards Defiant Zephyr’s action of seeking revenge.
Defiant Zephyr brought with him 5,000 men and lay siege on Huashan led by Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g in the pine forest cave.
In order to not provoke the idiotic Huashan gang, Defiant Zephyr kept himself out of sight and hid behind the troops. He had been traumatised since the day he was ganked by Huashan and he would be lying if it had not left a sense of fear in him.
Huashan suffered great losses this day. They were faced with a mult.i.tude of enemies without the slightest preparation, unable to get up on their feet after being killed.
As words of abuse thundered the sky, Sc.u.mbag led Huashan in a tongue-las.h.i.+ng battle.
Li Yi rode a Black-feathered Golden Eagle to soar through the sky, taking in everything that was happening below.
The pine forest cave was just in front of him, but it was heavily surrounded by the Tyrannic Dynasty. At times, one could witness one or two Huashan members sending themselves to their death.
How could he enter at a time like this?
Should he return tomorrow? Would it be too late?
Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g would rather die than surrender. His tone of voice, still adopted his usual arrogance, “C*nt leader, do you dare challenge me to a one on one? What kind of man are you to try to outnumber us? You have no b.a.l.l.s!”
“One on one? You? Everyone, stop!”
A player named Defiant Berserker walked out of formation. From his name, it was obvious that the cla.s.s he played was Berserk Warrior.
The attack came to a screeching halt and all fell silent.
“Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g, if you can defeat me, we’ll forget about things today. If you can’t, don’t even think about ever getting up.”
Defiant Berserker was a prestigious figure in the Defiant household. The words he spoke carried a certain authority.
Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g ran to his corpse and rose, not forgetting to return a taunt, “Whoever who beats me is my son.”
“Who are you? Make yourself know!”
Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g pulled a Gold Quality dagger out of nowhere and held it in his hand. He looked rather awe-inspiring.
“Defiant Berserker!”
“Do you dare take a step forward?”
Defiant Berserker scoffed and took several steps forward.
Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g howled at the top of his lungs, signaling eight hundred Huashan members to rise up and attack Defiant Berserker. It was a legion against one. Although Defiant Berserker had antic.i.p.ated it, he had not accounted for Huashan’s quick reflexes.
Defiant Berserker went down but the eight hundred Huashan guild members, including Sc.u.mbag w.a.n.g followed suit…
