The Ancient Light God Scroll was still going strong. The way things were going, they could easily last for more than ten more minutes. The Winged Ones were still streaming toward the players, so their defense would surely have thinned in other areas.
“What do you mean, our good luck?”
“We can set Sky Island ablaze!”
Of all the quests surrounding Sky Island, the most difficult SSS-Rank quest did not have to be accepted beforehand. Players simply had to complete the quest and they could go to an NPC for their reward.
The quest involved setting Sky Island on fire and capturing all the Winged Ones at once.
“You go left. If any Bird People get in your way, unleash the Undead Army and continue walking. When you find the wine barrels, set them all on fire.”
“That’s all?”
“That’s all!”
“Okay!”
Jiaojiao ran to the left, and Li Yi did not hesitate either. He ran straight to the right, looking for the wine barrels on Sky Island.
The Winged Ones liked to drink wine, so there were abandoned wine barrels everywhere. These wine barrels were also the key to players setting Sky Island ablaze.
“Fwoosh—”
Li Yi lit up the first wine barrel, and the forest nearby immediately caught fire.
“Squawk, arson! Quick, put it out!”
Several hundred White Winged Ones appeared in the sky, headed straight for the source of the fire.
As the players were lighting it up, the Winged Ones would do whatever they could to get in the way. Only those who knew the arson route could possibly complete this quest.
Possibly, but not certainly. Sky Island Ablaze was the hardest quest, and there were many uncertain elements involved as well.
Just then, the left side caught fire as well. Jiaojiao had also lit up her first wine barrel.
“Squawk, arson! Quick, put it out!”
More Winged Ones headed for Jiaojiao’s direction.
“Freya, Aersith, Dolly, come on out!”
As Li Yi hurried on his way, he summoned his pet, mount, and mercenary.
Freya sang her songs, Aersith played her flute, and Dolly stood on Li Yi’s shoulder, shooting the Winged Ones who chased after them.
Li Yi had personally hatched Dolly himself, so she was extremely loyal to Li Yi. When she saw that the enemy with their wings, her little face expressed some surprise. However, when she saw that the Winged Ones were attacking her master, she immediately flew into a rage and began to retaliate.
“Fwoosh~”
The second wine barrel was set aflame, and Li Yi threw another dozen or so Engineered Explosives into the fire to help it along.
The Winged Ones had already extinguished the first flames. In other words, completing the Sky Island Ablaze Quest involved a race against time. They had to set the fires faster than the Winged Ones could extinguish them.
Thanks to the Ancient Light God Summoning Scroll, the Winged Ones chasing Li Yi and Jiaojiao were a mere fraction of their initial number. As a result, Li Yi and Jiaojiao had a much easier job than usual.
“Fwoosh~”
Some more wine barrels were lit aflame, and even fewer Winged Ones stayed on Li Yi’s tail.
“Fwoosh~”
“Squawk! Put it out!”
“Squawk, we’re getting roasted! It smells really good!”
“Squawk squawk…”
Plumes of smoke rose everywhere, enveloping the entire Sky Island…
“Ding!”
“Lil Yi’zi, I encountered a Golden Winged One boss and died.”
“You’ve completed your mission, so just wait there. Don’t worry, watch me!
“God Mode!”
Li Yi was on a roll now. He activated God Mode and picked up the pace, setting the island ablaze.
More fires were lit all over Sky Island, and the Winged Ones could not keep the flames under control anymore.
“Cursed humans, you shall pay the heaviest price for your actions.”
A giant female Winged One with six golden wings rose into the sky slowly, her sharp gaze locking onto Li Yi.
She was the Winged Ruler, Moonlight!
“Traitor of the Winged Ones, so you’re the one behind this!”
“Zzzip—”
A golden feathered arrow flew at Li Yi, but he predicted its trajectory and evaded it in advance. All of a sudden, the golden feathered arrow made an abrupt turn in the sky and headed straight for him again.
This was the Winged Ruler’s signature move, the Sure Fit Divine Arrow. Any arrow that she shot would surely find its target.
[−567678]
A single arrow dealt more than 500,000 damage. At the same time, Li Yi also noticed that his mana had been cut by a third.
The hardest part of the Sky Island Ablaze Quest was probably this fight against the Winged Ruler.
As the players set the island ablaze, the Winged Ruler Moonlight would chase them fervently. Her ATK was formidable, and only a handful of players in the entire server managed to survive an encounter with her.
Before the Pantheon Mystery expansion pack was introduced, the Winged Ruler was the strongest boss in the game!
“Run, we’re no match for her!”
The Hunter Goddess warned Li Yi.
“Teleport!”
“Whoosh—”
Li Yi was ready for this too. He teleported almost a hundred meters away, throwing the Winged Ruler off his tail in an instant.
He flew at top speed without looking back even once, heading straight for the Ancient Light God.
He wanted to use the Ancient Light God to fight the troublesome Winged Ruler, Moonlight!
“Look, a player is flying over here!”
“F*ck, it’s Dark Wing! I saw him transform!”
“God Mode! It really is him!”
When Li Yi approached the Ancient Light God, Hua Feihua and her ‘partners’ instantly grew excited.
“Brother Dark Wing, I’m Lil Hua, I’m Lil Hua!” Hua Feihua waved at Li Yi with all her strength. It was an honor to know one of the most famous players in the game, and Hua Feihua knew that perfectly well. That was why she always grew so enthusiastic whenever she saw Li Yi.
Other than Hua Feihua, Li Yi did not know any of her dozen substitutes. Besides, he was not here for a chat. He just wanted to throw off the ultimate boss behind him.
“Zzzip!”
Another golden feathered arrow came flying, and Li Yi just tilted his body a little. There was no way to evade, so he just took the arrow to his back.
“Pfft!”
[−876655]
A terrifying red damage figure popped out, and Li Yi lost another good chunk of his health.
Dodging did not work against the Winged Ruler’s Divine Arrow Skill, so all he could do was choose which part of his body he wanted to take the arrow with, trying his best to minimize the damage.
“Boom—”
Li Yi activated his Rocket Propellant in mid-air and forced himself to the Ancient Light God’s side.
“Zzzip!”
The Winged Ruler’s Divine Arrow came flying again, but this time, its target was the Ancient Light God and not Li Yi.
“Brother Dark Wing…” Hua Feihua was still waving.
Li Yi flew behind the Ancient Light God and out of the Winged Ruler’s field of vision. In an instant, he had summoned his Water Clone and was using it to attract the attention of the Winged Ones nearby.if
Li Yi was not in a party with Hua Feihua and the others, so he did not have the Ancient Light God’s protection. As a result, he could only use his high speed to evade the Winged Ones’ hail of arrows.
Thankfully, the Ancient Light God had a strong hold on the Winged Ones’ aggro. With that, Li Yi managed to escape, completing the quest. Leaving his Water Clone behind as a target, he flew away from here as quickly as he could.
Li Yi did not care if Hua Feihua and the others died. Right now, he just wanted to complete the Sky Island Ablaze Quest.
As Li Yi flew away, one of the partners asked Hua Feihua, “Missy Hua, didn’t you say you were really close to Dark Wing? Why does it seem like he ignored you?”
Hua Feihua’s face flushed. “Cough, he’s busy. He messaged me, though.”
She placed a lot of importance on these shallow glories, so someone suspecting her claims to her face like this was one of the most humiliating things that could happen to her. That was why she just had to keep up the lie in situations like this.
“Fwoosh~ Fwoosh~”
Li Yi moved very quickly. In the end, even the Winged Ones’ sacred tree, the Mother Tree, was caught in the blazing flames.
“Ding!”
[Congratulations! You have completed the Sky Island Ablaze Quest.]
“Ding!”
[Congratulations! You have obtained an Ultimate Achievement.]
“Ding!”
[Congratulations! You have earned the achievement title, Legendary Roasting Master.]
“Ding!”
[This feat has been recorded within the Pantheon Hall of Fame!]
“Ding!”
[You have obtained 50,000,000 EXP as a reward!]
‘It was done~!’
Li Yi flew down from Sky Island. Jiaojiao had been waiting for him for a good while, riding on the Red Dragon Queen.
Li Yi and Jiaojiao were not the only ones who completed the Sky Island Ablaze Quest. Even Hua Feihua and her partners who had died horribly managed to put their thumbs in the pie, completing the quest as well.
Anyone who was on the island and participated in the burning had a share of the limelight!
Hua Feihua and the others had stalled the final boss, the Winged Ruler. That was why they got a share of the quest rewards as well.
“Wahaha, I love this quest! My Territory leveled up again.”
Jiaojiao danced in joy. She did not hide her emotions, and she wore her heart on her sleeve.
Hua Feihua sent Li Yi another message. “Brother Dark Wing, thank you!”
Now she had something to show off about again.
Li Yi replied to Hua Feihua, “Go to the foot of Mount Pantheon and look for the NPC Jewelfina. She’ll give you more rewards.”
“Thank you, thank you! You’re the best to me, Big Brother Dark Wing~”
Her voice took on a flirty tone, and Li Yi hurriedly closed the chat, too afraid to continue the conversation.
“Let’s go back to Mount Pantheon and hand in the quest!”
Li Yi and Jiaojiao rubbed the Return City Stone at the same time
Once they found Jewelfina and turned in the quest, Li Yi obtained another 50,000,000 EXP as a reward.
He used all of that EXP to power up his Territory, and Li Yi’s Territory powered up again, reaching Rank 16!
Jiaojiao gained some considerable rewards as well. She was luckier than Li Yi, and the NPC Jewelfina gave her EXP as well as an additional clue.
“When I was young, I found a stone that controlled Territory Release around Black Rock Mountain. It was too long ago, though, so I can’t remember exactly where that stone is anymore.”
“Territory Release, Territory Release!” Jiaojiao leaped high into the sky.
Jiaojiao had learned her Territory a long time ago, but she never did learn Territory Release. Was it any wonder that she was excited to hear this clue?
Jiaojiao was so antsy that she ignored Li Yi completely, summoning the Red Dragon Queen and flying toward the direction of Black Rock Mountain.
Li Yi turned in his quest but could not find Jiaojiao anywhere, so he sent her a private message. It was only then that he knew she had received a hidden quest.
He checked the time. It was getting dark, and the deadline for his date with the Death God was rapidly approaching.
Li Yi rubbed the Tower of Remorse’s Teleportation Stone and went to meet the Death God…
