Chapter 600: Psychological Warfare
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
They had defeated the complete evolution of the King of Souls in Advanced Mode with a mere 6-person party. This issue had not only astonished Li Yi but everyone else in the Pantheon World.
Even though Li Yi was not very familiar with the Light and Darkness Instances, he knew a little about the dungeon here and there. For instance, the King of Souls in the Normal Mode only had one arm, while the one in Advanced Mode has two arms. The Heroic Mode had added a head on top of that, while the Regal Mode will finally show the entire body of the King of Souls. The Hell Mode will then remove all Buffs that increased their attributes. This was the difference between the five modes.
The level-clearing video! Aside from Li Yi, many others were interested in it. The Fluttering Snow Alliance, Arthur's Dynasty, Reigning The World, Legendary Tribe...
Although the six-person party merely killed the weakened version of the complete evolution of the King of Souls, but to other parties, this feat had a greater meaning behind it. As long as they could get their hands on the level-clear video, they could eliminate a significant amount of time wasted on the first-time exploration in the dungeon. Time is money, especially when there was a limit on the number of times that they could challenge the dungeon.
"I will stand up immediately, then go into Stealth to sneak to your back. Then, I will use Garrotte..."
Fengxi was still muttering away to himself while he was lying amidst the roaring fire.
"Motherf*cker, motherf*cker..."
"Motherf*cker, motherf*cker..."
Not far away from him, Scumbag Wang and his men were sprawled all over the ground, spitting ferocious insults at the members of the Legendary Tribe.
Based on their weak battle prowess, the eight hundred men from the Huashan Guild were annihilated after just a round of attacks by the Legendary Tribe...
Even though Scumbag Wang was a scum of humankind, he was a man of loyalty. He had went corpse running multiple times and kept standing up after each death. His spirit remained unbroken as if the person who was repeatedly abused was not him but the other party.
Scumbag Wang has collapsed to the ground again. However, he could no longer stand up this time around; the system was protecting him now, and he could only stand up after the protection has elapsed five minutes after this. This was the newest patch introduced into the system's PK protection measures.
"Sister Cat, don't worry. I will definitely get this fixed and avenge you."
Scumbag Wang floated his spirit to stand before The Cat that Sings. He looked to his left and right before he asked, "Where is my third brother?"
Scumbag Wang searched for a long while before his eyes had landed on 'Fengxi'. At that moment, Fengxi was still busy grumbling to himself, saying how the other party would be destroyed the moment he stood up from his position.
Scumbag Wang stared for a significant moment before he asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm Fengxi."
Scumbag Wang was stunned before he was overwhelmed by his anger. "You dare to pretend to be my third brother?"
"Who's pretending? Look at my name."
As Fengxi was talking, he displayed the name above his head. It was clearly displayed that he was Fengxi.
Scumbag Wang was stunned stupid. "Sister Cat, what's going on here?"
The Cat that Sings replied, "It's true that you couldn't recognize him if he were to use another account to play. He's..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Fengxi quickly interrupted her and said, "Ahem, I'm Fengxi! Brother Wang, your brother had used a disguise."
Scumbag Wang took a double take. "A disguise? Did our Boss teach you that?"
"Yeah."
"Is... Is the Boss here?" Scumbag Wang nervously scanned his surroundings.
"Not yet, but the Boss will be here soon enough."
Scumbag Wang seemed quite dejected by that reply that his attention had drifted off for a while. Then, he floated towards Fengxi and kicked the latter. "What are you doing here? Quick, stand up and f*ck them up! Listen to my call, 1, 2, 3, up!"
Fengxi remained unmoving.
Scumbag Wang was displeased. "No.3, since when were you such a coward?"
"This is not being a coward, this is patience. I'm not afraid of them; instead, I am calculating! I was calculating how to take them out in one go."
"Then, did you manage to figure something out?"
"Yes, I figured it out! I'm very confident now that I will be able to kill them all in one hit!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Stand up!"
"Up!"
Fengxi stood up abruptly and immediately went into Stealth. However, he was lying on the floor again in the next moment...
He was basically standing on top of firewalls. It would instead be weird if he did not die from being burnt the moment he had resurrected himself.
"God d*mnit, are you really my third brother? This IQ of yours... I'm truly speechless."
"Ahem, even an expert sometimes makes mistakes, no?"
"F*ck, you're imitating the Boss again!"
At that moment, The Cat that Sings finally stepped in to reprimand them. "Stop stirring up trouble, you two. Lil' Wang, go and wait by your body. Listen to my call, and stand up. Let's go and f*ck them up!"
"Yes, Sister Cat!"
Scumbag Wang's spirit floated back to his body.
Fengxi said, "That guy was quite obedient to you huh."
The Cat that Sings were smug. "Of course! Lil' Wang is a good boy. Unlike you, who would always deliberately act against my wishes."
The 5-minute protection time has elapsed, but the players from the Legendary Tribe were still laying down firewalls to camp their corpses.
Out of Print has gone offline, and so did Dingding Dongdong. Both of them were not skilled in PKing, and neither did they want to get involved in any conflict and drama. Thus, they had directly surrendered and avoided the battle entirely.
Sister Windcloud Nine was still fighting. Every time, she would dumbly resurrect herself while hugging her staff and would be hit to death honestly and sincerely. Then, she would naively stand up again and continued to be attacked to death. From the start of the battle, she had died a grand total of 19 times while killing none. Almost all of the equipment that she had on her had dropped by now, and she was going to be completely naked soon.
"Boohoohoo..."
In the end, Sister Windcloud Nine would resurrect herself while crying, causing those that were corpse camping her felt bad for attacking her after that. They had collectively decided to leave her standing dumbly at the side while clutching her staff. Not many players were attacking her anymore...
Even though she was the queen, killing her like that was embarrassing to the players themselves.
Queen Jiao was also fighting too. She would continue to resurrect herself and die after that. Thankfully, her level was already capped, and the equipment she had on her all had the Anti-Drop attribute. Otherwise, she would not even have any crumbs left after all her equipment had dropped after each of her death.
"This girl is really hot! Even though her ass is not as big and white as Sister Huahua's, but it's perfectly perky. If I were to bang her once from behind, ah, ah..."
Scumbag Wang stared at Jiaojiao from afar, and gradually closed his eyes as he muttered to himself. There was nothing that could be done about it; essentially, he was a true scumbag and wishing for him to stop behaving like a scum will be more difficult that wishing for him to scale the skies...
"Leader Scum, Leader Scum!"
"Lil' Wang!"
"Leader Scum!!!"
Scumbag Wang finally snapped back into his senses when he was surrounded by roars and shouts from the people around him.
"Pay attention! I'll shout 1, 2, 3. Then, we'll stand up together!" The Cat that Sings bellowed.
"Got it!" The people from the Huashan Guild roared in reply.
"1, 2, 3, up!"
The eight hundred Huashan members resurrected themselves simultaneously. The ranged class players of the Legendary Tribe immediately gathered their firepower to attack them. On the other hand, The Cat that Sings did not resurrect herself immediately. Instead, she had waited for the other Huashan Guild members to attract all of the Legendary Tribe's attacks before she stood up. Then, with a swing of her Shadow Cloak, she had forcibly gone into Stealth and disappeared...
Boom! Boom!
Explosions were heard everywhere, and a large portion of the Legendary Tribe had fallen.
The eight hundred Huashan Guild members only managed to withstand the onslaught for approximately ten seconds before they were lying on the ground again. However, they were considered to have succeeded already, seeing that The Cat that Sings, Fengxi, and Queen Jiao had grabbed the opportunity to stand and kill the enemies.
Three against thousands of people were too big of a difference in numbers. When Pantheon has yet to open the Territory, the skills of players would restrain each other's performance. It was too difficult for a scene where one person was able to handle tens of thousands of enemies to happen.
Queen Jiao was able to last for only approximately 20 seconds. She had killed 21 players from the opposing party before finally collapsing again. Fengxi, on the other hand, did not show himself after he had gone into Stealth, and no one had seen him attacking anyone. Only The Cat that Sings were tossing out bombs periodically, causing explosions all over the place.
"Sister Cat has a big fat ass! Sister Cat has capabilities that wow the heavens! With a wave of her hand, she would kill tens of thousands with her bombs. With a shake of her boobs, millions will cower under her reign!"
The Cat that Sings ran and leapt everywhere. Whenever possible, she would throw some bombs to attack the enemies. When that happened, Scumbag Wang and his men did not lay idle either. They had actually made a poem to cheer Sister Cat on.
The eight hundred members of Huashan Guild collectively hollered this perverted prose. It was quite a magnificent sight that had stunned the players of Legendary Tribe into astonished silence. Many of them were so distracted that they were still contemplating the meaning behind the poem after they had died being bombed by The Cat that Sings...
"This is the tactic of undermining the morale of the enemy troops! They thought we're stupid, huh? Those idiots have all lost their attention now, no? Brothers, let's roar even louder!"
"Sister Cat has a big fat ass! Sister Cat has capabilities that wow the heavens! With a wave of her hand, she would kill tens of thousands with her bombs. With a shake of her boobs, millions will cower under her reign!"
Under the leadership of Scumbag Wang, the shouts and chants of the Huashan Guild had overwhelmed everything.
Boom! Boom!
It might seem that The Cat that Sings was a hefty and tiger-like woman, but she was extremely intelligent with her PK skills. She could find the best opportunities to throw a bunch of bombs and quickly escape to hide somewhere far away. Then, she would wait for another chance to do the exact same thing.
The Soul Gate dungeon's topography was very advantageous to the Thief class. The bumpy and uneven ruins had limited the attacks by the ranged classes. The Cat that Sings had fully utilized the topography and used it in her kiting attacks.
...
At the other entrance of Soul Gate, Li Yi and the others were engaged in a battle too.
After Li Yi had gotten the call of help from Jiaojiao, he had immediately led his people out of the dungeon. However, they were not transported to the northern gate. Instead, they had appeared at the southern gate. Coincidentally, the Fluttering Snow Alliance had retreated from the dungeon as well, and both parties had accidentally met each other outside the southern gate. Immediately, they started fighting each other.
"Overlord Arrow!"
Zzzip zzzip!
The flaming golden arrow shot towards Tyrant Sword King the Fifth. Tyrant Sword King the Fifth rolled quickly on the ground and evaded it.
After the prolonged fight between two parties, only a few were left standing. On Li Yi's side, Unending Unmatched and another main tank warrior were slashing at each other for a while.
Neither side has the better of the other. Brother Windcloud Nine and Mad Dragon had been lying on the ground for a long time now. Qian'er was still alive and engaged in kiting with two of the enemy archers. Everyone else was too far away for Li Yi to see.
Before Li Yi was three other enemies, namely Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, Brother Simon, and Lil Jinlian.
Now, Lil Jinlian was already dead on the ground. Initially, she wanted to use the Sheep Herd Spell, but she never expected Li Yi to have such an abnormally high resistance that he was entirely immune to the spell. He had quickly killed her after a round of ferocious hitting.
Tyrant Sword King the Fifth and Brother Simon was very conservative in their battle tactics. They would always hide from Li Yi's attacks with different buildings and rush forward towards him with Charge. If their hit did not land, they would immediately retreat. This has led them to be trapped in combat that did not show a winning side until this very moment.
Zzzip!
Brother Simon hid behind a huge boulder. The Overlord Arrow buried itself within the boulder, wasting yet another shot.
The topography in this area was very disadvantageous towards ranged classes. Li Yi would have killed them long ago if they were at another area that was free of obstacles.
Li Yi was getting agitated that their long fight was not resolving. With a wave of his hand, he had summoned the Lightning Leopard.
The Lightning Leopard went into Stealth and disappeared. This time, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth and Brother Simon took the opportune moment and charged at Li Yi from his front and his back.
"Beast Soul's Possession - Violent Bear!"
Li Yi turned into the Violent Bear King. Then, he used Berserk Charge and slammed into Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.
Wham!
