Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
While the screams of the Golden Winged One had brought other Winged Ones over, Li Yi already crept out of the wormhole and fled from the Winged Ones’ Mother Tree.
The whole egg-stealing operation had gone smoothly and not a single battle had started.
A golden egg was in hand!
This egg-stealing method had been created by Li Yi himself in his past life. He did not have any friends back then, so he had to complete the quest alone. In the beginning, he secretly followed behind groups of players but could only look on with envy as they split into two teams — one to kite the Winged Ones and the other to steal the egg.
Over time, he discovered this method by chance and from then on, he possessed the ability to turn in golden eggs.
The Winged Ones’ Mother Tree had remarkable growth. Despite being destroyed, it would not be long before the damage would repair itself. The hole Li Yi dug out would heal itself soon after he was gone.
Players were not permitted to use any Return City or Teleport-sort of space travel skills near the Winged Ones’ Mother Tree. Even more outrageous was the fact players did not have the right to go offline.
Li Yi ran from the Winged Ones’ Mother Tree and plunged into the woods, searching.
His primary goal in Sky Island was to complete the egg-stealing quest and his second was to search for the rare Grade 11 material, Heavenly Flower. It was a necessary item to upgrade the Evil God Summoning Scroll.
Currently, apart from Li Yi, no other players had stepped foot on Sky Island. Heavenly Flowers were rare but since nobody was picking it, finding them was an easy feat. Li Yi took an hour to collect a total of 20 Heavenly Flowers to make a set before happily rubbing on his Return City Stone to leave.
Li Yi returned to the foot of Mount Pantheon, which was already packed with bobbing heads. No one noticed him as he walked towards Jewelfina to turn in the quest.
“Great job, this Golden Winged One’s egg is exactly what I need right now.”
With a wave of Jewelfina’s single hand, a golden glow enveloped Li Yi. The Wings of the Sky pre-expansion event’s strongest beneficial buff, God’s Glow was granted to him.
[God’s Glow: As long as the glow exists, Divine Power will be applied onto the body, reducing damage by 50% and increasing SPD and ATK SPD by 10%. The buff lasts for 5 hours and if the character dies beforehand, the buff effect will disappear.]
The highlight of this buff was the Divine Power.
Divine Power on its own had the powerful capability to reduce damage and together with the fixed 50% damage reduction, possessing such a phenomenal buff for the Wings of the Sky pre-expansion event was a dream.
“Challenge the Open Colosseum!”
Li Yi gave 10 Gold Coins to Jewelfina.
“Tst —”
With the scene before him blurring, Li Yi was teleported into the Open Colosseum.
It was a vast empty battlefield with no obstacles in sight. Li Yi held onto the Wrath of the Stars and stood in the middle like a gladiator, waiting for a monster to appear.
The Open Colosseum was also called the Survival Colosseum. Players did not face one enemy but a group of highly skilled bosses. The condition for clearing the stage was straightforward — staying alive until an hour passed. The System then would calculate the number of kills made by the player for the final score.
“Aooo awooooooo —”
Li Yi’s first opponents were a pack of Level 200 Elite snowy-furred silver wolves. In a mass of around 200, they were led by a Silver Wolf King of large build.
“Territory Release!”
A golden barrier spread out over a range of 120 yards!
“Squeak! Squeak!”
“Bp! Bp!”
Dolly emerged, charging the first attack with Chain Arrow Skill and Overkill Arrow.
Within Li Yi’s Chrono Territory, Level 200 Elite silver wolves took a huge decrease in SPD. Even the most powerful of the silver wolves, the Silver Wolf King, was affected. They moved in slow motion as if they were running in space.
Although Territory Power could not compare to Divine Power, it was still rather effective against creatures that were incapable of using Divine Power.
“Shoot at Random!”
“Bp bp bp bp bp…”
Li Yi’s body was shimmered with golden light as countless arrows flew in all directions, leaving Dolly gawking.
“Random squeak!”
Dolly followed suit, imitating Li Yi and rotating in the air. It was a pity that she could only fire two arrows before she started to see stars. She collapsed on the ground from dizziness.
Over 200 silver wolves were killed by Li Yi and Dolly in less than 20 seconds.
“Tch tch — Tch tch —”
The silver wolves pack had just been vanquished when bloody crimson figures appeared in the air. A colony of blood-sucking bats flew over. They numbered no less than a thousand.
In the Open Colosseum, the faster players killed monsters, the faster new monsters spawned. This became where players could compete and played an important part in players entering the God Wars qualifiers.
“Pft!”
Li Yi applied pressure on the ground with one of his arms and after some black smoke faded away, Onyxia appeared howling beneath him.
“Roar —”
Onyxia flew into the air, using her Dragon Breath to attack the blood-sucking bats while Li Yi fired True Overlord Arrows in all directions.
The Flaming Phoenix and scorching Dragon Breath wreaked havoc across the battlefield, wiping out the colony of bats in just over 30 seconds.
In the Open Colosseum, if a player was unsure of their endurance, they could choose to slow down the pace by dragging the battle on. Continuing without rest was an issue as new monsters appeared after the previous batch of monsters was killed. How could they go on if their mana was exhausted? Dragging the battle on while enduring for an hour would guarantee them points.
There were no points awarded should they fail the challenge. Only players with confidence in their ability like Li Yi would go all out.
“Aaa — Aaa — Aaa —”
Countless Zombies crawled out of the ground and dashed at Li Yi in aggressively.
More than 500 Level 200 Blood Zombies!
These things had super high ATK. Even the slightest contact would result in either death or significant injury. Their only weakness was their slow SPD.
Li Yi activated his Territory Barrier. With his Territory Power now at Rank 15, it was effortless for him to suppress Level 200 monsters.
Suffering from severe movement reduction, the Blood Zombies went down one by one as his Flaming Phoenix came flying at them.
“Random squeak!”
Having gotten dizzy dozens of times due to practicing her Shoot at Random, Dolly had not hit any monsters.
“Dolly, fight!”
“No!” Dolly shook her tiny head like a rattle drum. She may not have a big head, but she sure had a huge temper.
“Tst —”
Her black-hearted master would not take no for an answer. He teleported near her and grabbed her by the arm, tossing her towards the Blood Zombie crowd…
Dolly was instantly killed and dropped onto the ground as an egg.
“Ba kch! Ba kch!”
A Blood Zombie held the egg and chewed on it with great enthusiasm. After about seven or eight bites, it hurled the egg onto the ground with dissatisfaction.
The egg Dolly turned into was fairly sturdy. Li Yi once had Jiaojiao experiment with Lord Disaster. She sliced dozens of times yet not a scratch was left on the egg.
Lord Disaster was a divine weapon and if a divine weapon was incapable of harming the egg-cum-Dolly, what could a Blood Zombie’s broken teeth do?
The monsters in the Open Colosseum grew increasingly stronger and in order to tackle the upcoming strong monsters, Li Yi resolved to have Dolly die a couple of times to boost her powers.
The Blood Zombies were a tough crowd to handle as this bunch of slow-moving things had a special ability. They could resurrect infinitely after 20 seconds as long as there were zombie comrades still alive. The only way to work around this was to kill all the Blood Zombies in one go!
“God Mode!”
“True Overlord Arrow!”
“Tst tst —”
With blazing fire, over 500 Zombies were burned to ashes.
“Gwwooo!”
Flames burst from the ground, giving way to a Superior Fire Spirit Lord holding a shield and sword. It had an awe-inspiring presence.
A Level 200 boss with HP as high as 500 million!
“Hua~”
At the sound of water splashing, a Superior Water Spirit Lord emerged in another direction.
A Level 200 boss with HP as high as 1 billion!
“Wham!”
The earth cracked and a Superior Earth Spirit Lord arose. It smashed the ground with a hammer. Thump! An earthquake erupted.
A Level 200 boss with HP as high as 1.5 billion!
“Whoosh whoosh!”
A tornado appeared and a Superior Wind Spirit Lord came forth in the air!
A Level 200 boss with HP as high as 700 million!
7 minutes had passed in the Open Colosseum and Li Yi was encircled by four Elemental Spirits.
Wind, Fire, Water, Earth — Four Elemental Lords each occupied a direction and launched large-scaled skills at Li Yi.
[-75676]
[-83456]
[-77385]
[-66345]
Four golden damage numbers manifested above Li Yi’s head. Were it not for his God’s Glow buff, the damage would be multiple times higher and been displayed in red.
“Water Clone!”
“Shooting Star Arrow Hail!”
The Four Elemental Lords stood in different directions so taking them all out at the same time was impossible. He had to kill them one by one.
The first target Li Yi chose was the Superior Fire Spirit Lord as it had the highest ATK.
His Water Clone along with a Shooting Star Arrow Hail reduced the Superior Fire Spirit Lord to nothing in seconds. Li Yi then targeted the Superior Wind Spirit Lord.
“Bp bp bp bp bp…”
Just then, Dolly’s Metamorphosis was a success and she rejoined the battle immediately. She fired an Overkill Arrow at the Superior Wind Spirit Lord.
The double strikes by the human and pet wiped out Superior Wind Spirit Lord. With two of the four Elemental Lords down, their attack range was decreased.
“Bp! Bp!”
Li Yi lifted his bow to fire at Superior Water Spirit Lord while Dolly followed suit.
Li Yi had retrieved his Territory Barrier by then. Territory Barriers had limited use against Boss-level elemental beings so his power would only go to waste.
“Squeak~”
Dolly let out a cry. She had been killed again.
Her DEF was still too low and too weak. She had to go through Metamorphosis a few times to be fully effective.
Li Yi retreated as he fired, flying to the sky at times while firing rapidly. In the Open Colosseum, players were free to use their mounts or fly. This was an added advantage for Li Yi.
“Bp tst —”
3 minutes later, the Superior Water Spirit Lord collapsed. Li Yi started to attack the last enemy standing — the Superior Earth Spirit Lord.
Li Yi’s mana recovery was fast thanks to the Evil God Scroll on him. He had more than half his mana left despite the extended battle. Not to mention it was still increasing as time went by.
“Lil Yi’zi, I passed the Open Colosseum. Wahahaha… I’m the first in all servers!”
Just as Li Yi concentrated on defeating the Superior Earth Spirit Lord, Jiaojiao’s smug laughter was heard coming from his transmitter.
