Chapter 695: Death Harvest
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Both Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut and Brother Simon pounced at Li Yi at the same time. Everyone else had expended their skills as well, with the Summoners releasing their pets while the Wizards cast great spells. All members had partic.i.p.ated in the attack.
Initially, Li Yi had planned to kill Bai Xiaoya right after he was done with Tyrant Sword King the Fifth. He never expected the cunning Bai Xiaoya to hide within the crowd, not giving him even a small window to attack.
“Mountain-crus.h.i.+ng Strike!”
Brother Simon leaped high into the air and slashed at Li Yi with his blade as he plummeted from above.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s punch, laced with a gold-colored aura, arrived at him as well. In contrast with Brother Simon, her attacks were more destructive because she was also a Territory Master like Li Yi.
Li Yi managed to evade the attacks from both Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut and Brother Simon. He activated his Rocket Propellant and rushed forward diagonally, releasing his Territory light barrier halfway through his route to envelop everyone in it, including Bai Xiaoya.
“Meteor Arrows!”
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
Everyone within the Territory was a mere ant. Although the elites from the Fluttering Snow Alliance all possessed impressive abilities, their strength was relative to who they were put up against. When faced against Li Yi, who could already release a Territory barrier, they were miles away from being powerful.
Only Bai Xiaoya could move slightly when they were in Li Yi’s Territory. Everyone else could only stand still like pillars of wood as if they were frozen within it.
It only took a few seconds for five people to collapse. However, Bai Xiaoya was too cunning for her own good. She used others as her s.h.i.+eld to block Li Yi’s arrows, and even though Li Yi was practically chasing and shooting after her, he somehow still failed to kill her.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut condensed a gold-colored aura while she ran towards him. When she reached the edge of the Territory barrier, she threw both of her fists forward and punched as hard as she could.
Whack!
Cracks appeared on Li Yi’s Territory barrier. It trembled violently for a while, looking as if it could shatter at any moment.
Wham!
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut punched with both her fists again. Li Yi’s Territory barrier could no longer withstand the impact and shattered like broken gla.s.s, disappearing without a trace in just a few seconds.
The Territory barrier broke!
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
Li Yi’s reflexes were extremely quick. He jumped backward while he shot his arrows, killing another two elites from the Fluttering Snow Alliance when he jumped and arrived under the altar.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was ceaseless in her pursuit. Her sprinting speed was so quick that wind waves would appear by her heels with every step she took. The wind accompanied her strides, and her speed was even one step ahead of a Cyclone Thief’s Cyclone Step.
Swoos.h.!.+
A large glittering white net was spread towards Li Yi. Li Yi’s guard was up long ago; he quickly used Pseudocide to fall to the ground and escape the web.
The Dragnet caught nothing. When Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut went to retract the net, a 2-second hit recovery will be inflicted on her body. Since she could not move during that time, it was the best window for retaliation.
Li Yi stood up in a flash and shot with a quick shake of his hand. “Elimination Arrow!”
Ssst! Ssst!
He shot the same arrow twice, sending two Elimination Arrows towards Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut at the same time.
Thwack! Thwack!
The arrows buried themselves in Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s chest. A red damage value of [-25566] appeared above her head. Since both arrows had hit her at the same time, their damage values were summed up and displayed together.
What an amazingly high defense!
“Territory Skill – Death Harvest!”
Li Yi was waiting for Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s. .h.i.t recovery for his attack, but he never expected someone else to be waiting for his. .h.i.t recovery after his Elimination Arrows to attack him.
Dark G.o.d Empyrean South!
He had initially left the area. However, when he saw Li Yi, he had immediately turned around and came back to the battle. Then, he hid under the altar and patiently waited for the opportune moment to strike. When he saw Li Yi had shot his Elimination Arrow, he immediately released his Territory Skill to attack him during his. .h.i.t recovery.
A G.o.d of Death, clad in black robes and holding a scythe, pounced at Li Yi from the air, howling as it did so. The scythe in its hand slashed a line of black as it horizontally cut at Li Yi across his waist.
Pfft!
[-12442]
Ssst!
A damage value appeared above Li Yi’s head. Black smoke oozed out of the part on his body that was slashed, still causing him continuous damage.
Death Harvest harms the soul. Once a person’s soul was damaged, it could not be cured by consuming any potion. Without a Light Priest by their side, the continuous damage would quickly go out of control.
[-566]
[-644]
[-765]
Damage values kept appearing above his head. Li Yi quickly leapt backwards and drank a bottle of Sacred Tranquility, but it did not even manage to increase his HP. While Death Harvest was causing damage, it would simultaneously reduce its target’s Max HP. Thus, consuming any sort of potion would be for naught!
“Overlord Arrow!”
Li Yi summoned his Mutated Snow Eagle before turning and shooting an arrow at Empyrean South.
At that moment, The Cat that Sings roared with all her might, “D*mn you, Empyrean South, whose f*cking side are you on?”
Empyrean South rolled on the ground in an attempt to evade the Overlord Arrow. He did succeed, but the Mutated Snow Eagle that Li YI had summoned had pounced at him. The second that Empyrean South stopped rolling; both of its claws quickly grabbed onto him with a death grip.
Thwack! Thwack!
[-33156]
The Meteor Arrows were fired and had successfully buried themselves in Empyrean South, causing the man’s HP to immediately plummet to the bottom. However, while Li Yi’s third arrow was on its way to Empyrean South, his body transformed into a puff of black smoke, successfully escaping the entrapment of the Mutated Snow Eagle. He had managed to evade the fatal hit.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
While Li Yi was busy battling with Empyrean South, The Cat that Sings had not been idle. Since she was not able to do anything about Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, she had chosen to direct all her anger towards everyone else.
Brother Simon died by her hands, and so did Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, who had just clambered up from the ground after resurrecting himself with the Resurrection Talisman. Aside from Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, The Cat that Sings was killing everyone that she came across.
Jiggly was still trying to advise her. “An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind. We should take the high ground when resolving conflicts and let people off the hook. Cat, stop killing…”
The Cat that Sings was blinded by murderous rage. “Let people off the hook my *ss! If you don’t a.s.sist me in my killings today, then stop f*cking following me around from now on!”
Barging straight towards Bai Xiaoya, The Cat that Sings slashed at her a few times before stomping on the ground with frustration. She did not kill her but had instead gone to chase after Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut.
Empyrean South turned into a puff of black smoke and escaped; the arrow that Li Yi had shot could not cause damage to non-solid matter. Li Yi kept himself right behind the escaping Empyrean South, chasing the man while looking back at the battle. Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut and The Cat that Sings would pause their fight once in a while, and they were following him closely.
The Cat that Sings activated Cyclone Step and scolded while she chased after Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut. “You b*tch, stop running!”
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut did not look pleased after getting called b*tch with every sentence that came out of The Cat that Sings’ mouth. After all, she was the Guild Leader of one of the major guilds in the game. Of course, she would be enraged after being insulted and humiliated like this.
However, she understood clearly that if she were to engage in a verbal fight with the idiotic Cat, she would never be on the winning side.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!
While Li Yi was chasing after Empyrean South, he was silently counting down in his mind. Similar to an Archer’s Beast Soul’s Possession, a Dark Priest’s black smoke state would be dispelled the second after the effective time has elapsed.
“Elimination Arrow!”
When his silent countdown has reached 1, Li Yi stood and steadied himself before shooting another two Elimination Arrows at Empyrean South.
Ssst ssst!
When the Elimination Arrows struck the black smoke, Empyrean South’s physique appeared. The timing that Li Yi had chosen was right on the dot, and his accuracy was 100%.
Thwack! Thwack!
Both the Elimination Arrows were shot through Empyrean South’s throat. A critical damage value of [-55677] was recorded.
The Priest cla.s.s could wear only cloth armor, so it was obvious that their defense would not be too high. Logically, Li Yi’s four Elimination Arrows would have taken over 100,000 HP from Empyrean South. In normal circ.u.mstances, the man would have died long ago. However, Li Yi was surprised by what he was witnessing; even though over 50,000 HP damage was seen above Empyrean South’s head, the man was still standing straight and alive. He had yet to collapse to his death.
He was still alive…
A Priest with 100,000 HP?
No, that was impossible unless he had allocated all of his Skill Points to his Health and would wear nothing but equipment that increased his endurance. If he were to do so, Empyrean South would have literally ruined his account. As one of Top 10 powerhouses of the G.o.d Wars, Empyrean South would have never done such nonsense.
Li Yi stared at the Crimson Tauren Staff in Empyrean South’s hands. He noticed that the Tauren on top of the staff was softly glowing with an eerie aura.
Could it be that the Tauren Staff has an ability that allows its owner to resurrect on the spot?
“Death Harvest!”
As Empyrean South waved his Tauren Staff around, the black-robed G.o.d of Death appeared above his head again with its scythe in hand. Then, it howled and flew towards Li Yi.
“Territory Release!”
Li Yi did not evade or escape the attack. Instead, he released the Territory light barrier and enveloped both the black-robed G.o.d of Death and Empyrean South within it.
The previous Territory barrier was shattered by Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s punches. The Territory barrier this time around could not even last for 3 seconds. It could only be released for just an instant one more time.
The G.o.d of Death was frozen mid-pounce. Empyrean South was in the same predicament as well. Li Yi grabbed the opportunity to shoot ferociously at Empyrean South.
Thwack thwack thwack thwack!
The Meteor Arrows flew in a frenzy, with 8 arrows flying within 3 seconds. Each arrow would cause over 10,000 damage to Empyrean South, and with all 8 arrows landing right on the spot, the damage count has once again added up to over 100,000 HP.
The eerie phenomenon still happened. After Li YI’s Territory barrier had disappeared, he realized that Empyrean South was still alive…
The Tauren Staff was still softly glowing, but it seemed to be much dimmer when compared to its previous state.
It seemed that the secret behind the unlimited resurrection originated from the Tauren Staff.
Li Yi activated his Rocket Propellant and increased his distance by quickly escaping. Then, he used Camouflage and Pseudocide to avoid the G.o.d of Death which was still flying around in the air.
The Dark Priest’s Territory Skill, Death Harvest, had an extraordinary tracking ability as it would never stop unless it had hit the target. Thankfully, Li Yi’s cla.s.s was an Archer and thus had the G.o.dlike skill of Pseudocide. Without that, it would be a difficult feat for him to escape the range of this skill.
The black-robed G.o.d of Death circled the sky with its scythe for a while. After it had failed to locate Li Yi, it let out a howl and gradually disappeared.
Dark G.o.d Empyrean South had escaped once more. When Li Yi finally stood up from the ground, he could only see a vague silhouette from far away. If he were to push it and chase after him, there was still a chance to catch up to Empyrean South. However, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was still behind him…
The fight between Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut and The Cat that Sings was very closely fought. The Cat that Sings attacked with both her mouth and her hands, throwing everything she had at Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut. However, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut always showed mercy whenever she could. That life-threatening steel punch of hers never landed on her opponent’s critical points.
“Dark Wing, come and help me kill this b*tch,” wailed The Cat that Sings.
Thwack! Thwack!
With a shake of his hands, Li Yi shot two arrows at Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut.
He would have done so even if The Cat that Sings did not explicitly ask.
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s face immediately changed. She waved her fist to shatter the two arrows and turned to spread a huge, glittering white net right in The Cat that Sings’ face to trap her.
“B*tch, I curse you! I curse that you will be f*cked and humiliated by thousands and millions of people!”
Even though The Cat that Sings was trapped in the net, she was still spewing insults from her mouth.
Wham! Wham! Wham!
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut repeatedly punched The Cat that Sings right on her mouth.
“Mmph, f*ck… I… I…”
Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s fists did not have the gold-colored aura, and only caused The Cat that Sings damage that barely surpa.s.sed one thousand. However, when she landed one punch after another at the Cat’s mouth, she had completely exposed her back to Li Yi.
Li Yi threw a Golden Hunt Target on her head and aimed at her before drawing his bow for a Powered-up Arrow.
Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst!
