Chapter 436: Dragon-taming Curse
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Tuhrs were the victors, and the biggest benefactor of this war was Violent Bear King’s master, Li Yi. It did not matter that all he actually did was summoning Violent Bear King.
Li Yi held an official post now, and Clan Leader Adarhan had personally honored him as a ‘Tuhr Hero.’ That would be his t.i.tle from then on.
A ‘Tuhr Hero’ was an exclusive t.i.tle of Tuhrland. Players who were granted this t.i.tle could pick two Tuhrs to be their followers and follow him everywhere to farm monsters.
Of course, certain restrictions were imposed on these followers. For example, they could not leave the territory of the Thurs, or else they would return to their clan on their own accord. Another thing was if the entourage were to die, the player would have to wait 12 hours before receiving another follower.
Li Yi was satisfied with the outcome. Although the t.i.tle ‘Tuhr Hero’ did not carry much authority, this was the most crucial step to enhance a player’s qualifications. If he continued to advance from there, he would soon earn the right like the NPCs did to roam around the Thur Altar without needing a key.
Li Yi and Ardahan drank the whole night before leaving the clan on wobbly feet and heading towards Akna’s ice cave.
The alcohol consumed in King of Pantheon could be intoxicating but it was different from the alcohol in real life. The drunkenness the players felt would disappear once they removed their gaming controls, but the feeling would surge back the moment they put their gaming controls back on.
The restriction at the entrance of the ice cave had already been destroyed by Yuria. Silly Swan was not online. When Li Yi walked to the end of the ice cave, G.o.d-Devourer Akna who was dressed in a black robe walked out from the darkness.
Her entire body was wrapped in the black robe and shrouded in dark mist. Her wounds looked to be completely healed.
Akna’s tone was cold when she said, “Messenger of Deathwing, why weren’t you watching over me?”
Li Yi smiled. “Yuria has returned. I just went after her.”
Akna paused before snorting, “That b*tch, I knew she’ll come back! So that means that you’re the one who saved me?”
“Of course. If it weren’t for me, you’ll be dead.” Li Yi was not telling a lie. If it were not for him, Yuria would have killed Akna.
“Oh…” Akna responded. She began pacing back and forth while holding her staff. In the end, she had stopped before Li Yi and given him a Black Quality scroll.
“This scroll has recorded all the ways to tame a dragon, but it can only be used once. This is my way of showing sincerity to Deathwing. If Deathwing wishes to obtain a permanent Dragon-taming curse, ask it to look for me.”
It could only be used once…
Li Yi took the Black Quality scroll and could not help but feel a little disappointed.
If it could only be used once, then he had to consider carefully the most profitable way to make full use of it.
However, this condition of the scroll was understandable. If Akna were to impart a permanent Dragon-taming Curse to him, it would be the end of the dragons in Pantheon world.
[Soul’s Oath Scroll (black quality, unknown type): It is used when target’s HP is less than 10% to capture. It can enslave the target’s soul and made it pledged allegiance to you forever. Note: This scroll is limited to captured mounts and Summoner cla.s.s’ pets.]
“How powerful…” Li Yi praised internally. This trip was not in vain. Subduing a live Black Dragon Princess as a mount would no longer be a dream because of this scroll.
He thought back to his past life. His Black Dragon mount was looted from defeating Onyxia. Although the mount was of purple quality, it did not have any self-awareness. Apart from flying a little faster, it was no different from any other mounts.
Li Yi wanted a mount like Mermaid Princess who was capable of self-awareness and not a block of wood!
Akna walked out of the ice cave, ignoring Li Yi.
With the dragon-taming tactic now at hand, Li Yi’s purpose to come to the North Pole was completed.
“Akna, so you’re here!”
“Yuria, you b*tch!”
Just as Li Yi was about to leave, two shouts were heard coming from the entrance of the ice cave.
Wham! Wham!
The ice cave trembled. Li Yi raced outside.
Outside the ice cave, Akna and Yuria were already fighting.
Yuria did not leave the place. Li Yi might have lied to get her out of the cave, but her acute senses warned her that Akna was near.
Two major Level 100 NPCs were blasting at each other. It was a grand scene to behold. Akna’s Undead Summons was terrifying. One raise of her staff could summon several hundred skeletal crows and bats.
Yuria’s ATK was incredibly high as well. Her performance in the fight with Akna was not bad at all. She was engaging with an unbreakable stream of Meteor Arrows, striking faster than Li Yi could.
Who to help? Who to help? Who to help?
Li Yi was overwhelmed with this series of questions.
Yuria’s att.i.tude toward him was Respectful while Akna’s was Intimate. Yuria had Sacramental Stone Fragment on her while Akna had the terrifying Soul’s Oath scroll.
How should he make a decision? Li Yi was so lost.
This was a great opportunity for him to boost his Affinity.
“Teacher Akna…”
Silly Swan came online when Li Yi was still hesitating. She shouted and ran over to him after seeing the battle.
Akna chided angrily, “Don’t come over. Get out of the way!”
Too late…
Silly Swan had already entered Yuria’s attacking range and b.u.mped into Yuria’s incoming arrows. She was. .h.i.t with 4 arrows and was died on the spot.
“Yuria, you’ll be cursed to forever wail in h.e.l.l!”
Akna was completely ticked off with Silly Swan’s death. Her whole body was s.h.i.+mmering in red light as her ATK shot up. She sketched on the ground with her staff before raising it up.
“Come out—Headless Horseman! Bagradin!”
Headless Horseman and Bagradin, the two Undead Summon beasts, appeared simultaneously!
Tch tch—
Headless Horseman swung his greatsword so quick it penetrated Yuria’s body in the blink of an eye. He retrieved his sword with style from her back.
Combo 1!
The players had given him a nickname called ‘Poser King’ due to his very special attack movements.
Bagradin shot a streak of black smoke to envelope Yuria. Her movements were restricted almost instantly.
Combo 1!
Combo 1!
Bagradin held Yuria down while Headless Horseman sliced her again and again. That and the incoming flood of skeletal crows and bats, Yuria had turned out at the losing end almost immediately.
“Akna, I won’t bow to you even it takes my life.”
Yuria drew back her bow slightly and fired her ultimate skill, Spirit Arrow.
Pak!
The arrow had just left the string when the alert for damage appeared on the top Akna’s head. Yuria’s Spirit Arrow was terrifying. One would not have the time to dodge the moment it was shot.
Pak! Pak! Pak! Pak!
Yuria had activated her status to shoot Spirit Arrow continuously. Consequently, the alert for damage above Akna’s head appeared again and again. Her HP was dropping faster than Yuria’s.
“Powered-up Arrow!”
Tch, tch, tch, tch, tch, tch, tst—
Li Yi finally made his move while the two major bosses were hard at it.
He drew his orange bow far back and a Star Arrow swirled out…
