Chapter 272: The Dragon Feast
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Iron Alliance decided to show their hands.
Millions of elites moved together as they chased after the Western Continent players. Their objective was bright as day, which was to obtain their equipment and grind Honor Values.
This was what it meant by being merciless. Ignoring the normal Western Continent players, even Wincloud Nine Brother, an infamous person was defenseless against this attack. Since their Attribute was reduced by half due to the Black Dragon King's Curse and they would occasionally be deranged every once in a while, a few elites from the Little Drink Cat had caught up to him as he was escaping. All it took was a few seconds to bring him down...
There were less than a thousand players from the Iron Alliance that had perished in this fight before the entire Western Continent players were taken down. Did they really think it was that easy to escape? Was the Eastern Continent a place where they could come and leave as they wish?
Each member from the Iron Alliance was filled with enthusiasm as they would spawn camp one corpse if they killed one and two corpses if they killed two. The infamous Western Continent players with great reputation and equipment were their main targets. Take Windcloud Brother Nine for an example, the moment he was brought down, there would be thousands of people spawn camping by his corpse...
There was nothing he could do for his equipment was too overpowered. To those average players, they would be rich if they were able to obtain one of their equipment.
"Wahahaha, I've obtained Windcloud Overlord's purple helmet. Wahahaha..."
"I've obtained Windcloud Bear Bear's purple dagger!"
These messages filled the entire Eastern Continent's World Channel and the situation was a complete victory.
None of the Western Continent players dared to stand back up. Ultimately, those that were being spawn camped had no choice but to reduce 5 of their levels so that they could respawn in a weakened state in the Western Continent's Temple Respawn.
Countless Western Continent players had suffered losses in the war and the Three Major Guild Alliance did not obtain any benefit as all of them were affected by the Black Dragon King's Curse. The leader of the Iron Alliance, the Little Drunk Cat was the only one who had the last laugh.
Li Yi returned to Shattered Frost City as Fire Ice followed suit as well. She handed over the 2,500,000 Gold Coins and the items dropped by the Black Dragon King Ferrian to Li Yi.
It was worth it. It was really worth it...
Happiness was written all over Li Yi's eyes as he looked at the items that were dropped by the Black Dragon King. Not many items that had been dropped by the Black Dragon King as there were only 5 of them. Although it was small in number, all of them were Epic-Level.
[Black Dragon's Skill (Epic): The Skull of Black Dragon King Ferrian. A quest will be given when this item is used.]
[Black Dragon's Meat (Epic): The Black Dragon King Ferrian's meat, which is filled with its blood and essence. Can be used to increase the player's Attribute by hosting the Dragon Feast. Can feed up to hundreds of thousands of people.]
[[Black Dragon's Scale (Epic): Can be applied directly onto an armor to increase its DEF. each equipment can be applied with one scale. There are a total of 2000 pieces. (each scale increases the DEF by 200 points)]
These three items were the must drop items. In addition to that, there was also two equipment that had been dropped.
[Black Dragon's Cloak (Epic Cloak)]
[Equipment Level: Level 1 (Any Attribute mentioned below reaching 500 is required)]
[+500 STR]
[+500 EDU]
[+500 AGI]
[+500 INT]
[+500 WIL]
[Special effect: increases Leap by 200 points.]
[Special effect: Increases the probability to block an M-ATK by 10%. All resistance increases by 20 points.]
[Glide (Special Skill): Allows the player to glide in the air for a short period of time. The player is able to change directions freely. 5 seconds cooldown period.]
[Note: The Black Dragon's Cloak still has some blood stain from the Black Dragon King Ferrian...]
...
[Black Dragon's Fang (Epic Dagger)]
[Equipment Level: Level 1(Player is required to have 1500 AGI in order to equip it)]
[Primary Weapon]
[333-918 DMG]
[+600 AGI]
[+200 EDU]
[Special effect: Target will Bleed once it was struck by this dagger. As the Black Dragon's Fang is stain with blood over time, it would cast a small scale Black Dragon Curse's on the target. The curse lasts for 10 seconds and can be activated once every 2 minutes.]
[Special effect: ATK SPED increases by 200%.]
[Special effect (Locked, lacking Secondary Weapon): When the Black Dragon's Fang (Primary Weapon) is used together with the Black Dragon's Fang (Secondary Weapon), the wielder will receive a two hit combo. The effect is activated once every 1 minute.]
[Note: This is the Black Dragon Ferrian's sharpest fang...]
...
There was a unique feature for the equipment dropped by the Ancient-level boss. They did not require any level and even a level 1 smurf was able to equip it as long as they met the Attribute requirement.
Since the cloak could be used by any class, Li Yi decided to pocket it away for himself. As the Black Dragon's Fang was a piece of legendary equipment for the Thief class, it was worth at least 5,000,000 Gold Coins if it were to put placed in the Auction House.
Technically speaking, Li Yi did not pocket it for himself as he did not rely on anyone else except for Fire Ice. One could argue that the items dropped by the Black Dragon belonged solely to him and he was able to do whatever he wished to do with them.
After keeping both pieces of equipment, Li Yi forcefully traded 2,000,000 Gold Coins to Fire Ice and he was relentless until she accepted it. It was uncertain if Li Yi was able to catch up with the Black Dragon if not for her Heavenly Warhorse. Li Yi would never be stingy to those who had contributed to his cause.
Li Yi used the Black Dragon's Skull to activate the quest titled Black Dragon's Skull. The quest required him to pass the Black Dragon's Skull to the Castellan. However, since he was the Castellan himself, he skipped to the next step and was directly rewarded with the Refined Black Dragon's Skull.
[Black Dragon's Skull (Epic-Level Strategic Item): Reduces the enemy's Attribute by 20% in the range of 1000 yards. Can be placed in the Guild's Map and the item is permanently activated.]
The Black Dragon's Skull was without a doubt placed in the Little Drunk Cat Guild's Map. There was a reason why he decided not to bring it along with him... The item was so large that his backpack would be overweight if he were to bring it along and he would not be able to walk at all.
Li Yi kept 500 out of the 2000 pieces of Black Dragon's Scales for himself He gave the rest to Fire Ice to distribute it to the Guild Masters from the Iron Alliance. He did not care how they would distribute them at all.
Li Yi hosted a party that night. He had invited all members from the Iron Alliance to a Dragon's Feast cooked by Snickersnee.
It was impossible for a person to kill the Ancient-level boss such as the Black Dragon King. It required tens of thousands of players working hard together to pull off such a feat. This was apparent from the three items dropped from the Black Dragon King. Everyone should be credited for their role and everyone would be rewarded when the dragon is slain.
Millions of members from the Iron Alliance sat on the ground in the ruins of Shattered Frost City. They spoke, laughed and cheered as they feast on the Dragon's Meat...
Li Yi had already sent an order to seal the entire city where no one was allowed to enter except for the Iron Alliance's members.
Cuisine was a beneficial thing in the King of Pantheon, especially those Epic-Level Cuisines that could permanently increase the player's Attribute were even more valuable.
Those who chose Chef as their lifestyle class would be able to create the Dragon's Feast. However... one could count the number of people having the ingredient with just one hand.
[You've eaten the Black Dragon's Meat, STR increases by 3 points...]
[You've eaten the Black Dragon's Meat, INT increases by 1 point...]
The effect of the Dragon's Feast would occur every 60 seconds and it would last for 20 to 25 times. It would increase the player's Attribute by a maximum of 10 points and a minimum of 1 point.
"Damn it. The Attributes I've gained for leveling up 5 times is worse than feasting on this dragon meat. It would be nice if I can feast on this meat every day." A player named Really Understand from the God Creator Guild could not help but voice out his opinion.
Li Yi was ecstatic. "This thing can only be eaten once. Why would people go to look for better equipment if this can be eaten every day? We can just gather together every day to kill the Black Dragon and we will soon have superhuman abilities since our Attributes will increase each session."
"Hahaha..." The crowd laughed.
"These Attributes increases randomly. Dark Wing Guild Master, can we control the increments?" Nirvana Inaction, the super healer from the God Creator Guild frowned as she asked Li Yi.
Li Yi shook his head. "Unfortunately no. the Attributes will increase randomly and would you please sit down? Or else you will lose the effect forever."
Nirvana Inaction pouted as she sat down. "I'm so unlucky. I'm a healer but why is my STR increasing?"
"I'm a Warrior and I've got AGI instead. Sigh this is ridiculous. It's INT this time around. F*ck me I don't even have any MP, I only have Fury. Why do I even need INT in the first place... For f*ck sake, can STR be the next one to increase? I don't mind EDU too if STR doesn't increase... Please..."
"Haha, it's INT. Hahaha It's INT again. Hahahaha INT again... I'm definitely God's favorite."
Some people were happy while some were not. There were people who kept sighing as they did not gain the desired Attributes. On the other hand, there were a few lucky people whose desired Attributes were increasing by 10 everytime..."
Chen Yang the fatty was one of the lucky ones. He had received 10 points of INT for all 25 increments. He was so happy that he was just a step away from taking off his shirts and ran naked in the public.
Li Yi's luck was average unlike Chen Yang as his result was not good nor bad. He had obtained a total of 70 STR and a combination of WIL, AGI, and EDU.
"Eh? Brother Dark Wing, where is Little Elf from the Magical Realm and lady Jiaojiao?" Confused Fox searched around and could not spot them at all.
"I've phoned them earlier."
Li Yi shook his head as well as he logged off from the game and took off his helmet as he let his character to feast on its own. Then, he gave Little Elf from the Magical Realm a call.
Little Elf from the Magical Realm was online much less often than before ever since that day. Li Yi did not contact with her often recently as he was busy trying to obtain the orange bow.
"What's wrong?"
The call went through and Yang Rong's slothful voice could be heard.
"Time to go online and feast on the Dragon's Meat!"
"I'm trying to hush the kids to bed. I don't have time for that."
"Let me have a chat with Momo while you go online to feast on the Dragon's Meat. This is a once in a life time's opportunity."
"Fine. But I need to inform you beforehand to not tell Momo... about that." Yang Rong muttered.
"About what?"
"F*ck off. Bleh! Momo, Uncle Li is calling for you."
"Yay, please pass Momo the phone. Momo loves Uncle Li the most.
Li Yi chatted with Lil' Momo as Yang Rong went online. Due to Lil' Momo's hobby, the two could not help but stray their topic towards sex toys...
Li Yi took a lot of effort to deal with Lil' Momo. He let out a long sigh after he managed to persuade Momo to go to bed before he attempted to contact Jiaojiao.
Beep beep...
The phone rang for a long time and no one responded.
That was weird. What was this girl up to?
It was fine if she did not pick it up as the Attributes would revert back to normal the moment she changed her class to Black Paladin. The whole ordeal of eating the Dragon's Meat would be for naught.
However, how could he forget about her in this festive situation?
Li Yi pondered for a long time before he decided to go upstairs to look for Jiaojiao.
"Ding dong. Ding dong. Ding dong ding dong!"
"Open sesame!"
As usual, Li Yi shouted as he pressed on the door bell. However, it was different this time around as Jiaojiao did not laugh as she opened the door. Instead, she screamed from within the house.
"Get lost!"
Why was she so angry? Did she eat an explosive or something?
Li Yi dropped his act and immediately breached the door open with a powerful kick
"Bam!"
"Slam!"
A sound echoed in the room as if someone had shattered...
