Chapter 622: : Sinful Angel
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
He wore the three-piece Sinful Angel's Prayer Equipment Set that gave him an additional 60 points of hit recovery. On top of that, he had equipped a unique item, the Sprite Rhino's Horn, that had a +10 to hit recovery. With the Priest class's additional attributes, Ah Ye's hit recovery had summed up to a grand total of 100 points.
Li Yi had seen all of Ah Ye's equipment from the beginning. There was no doubt that he was wearing the Sinful Angel's Prayer Equipment Set.
The Sinful Angel's Prayer Equipment Set was not a T2 Equipment Set but was an ultra-rare Legendary-level equipment set. The method of getting it was so difficult that throughout the seven years that Li Yi had spent in Pantheon reading countless walkthroughs and rare books, he still had no idea where the equipment set was dropped.
In both his previous and current life, only one person had managed to obtain this Equipment Set, and that was Ah Ye, the yellow-robed Priest.
The Sinful Angel's Prayer Equipment Set had a level of 30, the lowest among all Legendary-level equipment. However, the Equipment Set had extremely overpowered additional attributes. The Equipment Set had a total of 20 special effects on it, with additional hit recovery being just one among many.
Not only did the individual pieces have special effects, but they also provided more special effects when they were combined together. The single fault the Equipment Set had was the low equipment level that limited the additional attributes that it possessed. It would be an ultra-legendary set if a low-level person were to equip it, but once the player had risen to a much higher level, the player would be overpowered by others.
No matter in the past or present life, Ah Ye had yet to obtain a full Sinful Angel set. According to him, his choice in putting Skill Points in two classes was just to match the last special effect on the Sinful Angel Equipment Set.
Even Li Yi's Divine Looking Glass had failed to discern the attributes of the Sinful Angel's Prayer Equipment Set. However, as he traded blows with Ah Ye, he had soon developed a vague idea of another special effect that the Sinful Angel Equipment Set had.
His STR value would decrease with every blow he inflicted upon Ah Ye. After a dozen or so arrows, his STR value had dropped around 100 points. If the three of them could not kill him in an explosive round of intense attacks, there was a real possibility that the fight might end with their death due to the prolonged grind on them.
Li Yi glanced at his skills. God Mode's Cooldown was ending soon.
"I surrender!"
At that exact moment, Ah Ye loudly shouted and jumped off the stage.
All the while, his Health was wandering around the 10,000 HP mark. He had actually voluntarily admitted defeat before the winning party was decided...
The fight has ended.
Ah Ye, the yellow-robed Priest had voluntarily surrendered, and Brother Windcloud Nine had given up and refused to continue fighting as well. The result of the Team Match declared the Invincible Continent as the winner, with the team from the Ninth Continent as runner-up and the Western Continent at the bottom of the pile.
"Hahahaha, I told you so! The Invincible Continent would definitely win this tournament!"
"I've bet 1 million on the Invincible Continent. God d*mned it, it's just that the winning odds are quite low. Disregarding my capital, I've only made around a few ten-thousands in profit... F*ck f*ck f*ck..."
Most of the players on stage cheered joyfully. They had high hopes that the Invincible Continent would come out on the winning side, and they had successfully won some money from the previous match.
The budding artist went on stage again, promoting herself while explaining the ultimate goal of the Team Preliminaries.
"Congratulations, Team Invincible Continent! All participating contestants will each obtain an Ancient Sealing Runestone!"
Ancient Sealing Runestone!
"What's that?"
People were whispering to each other in discussion. Under the stage, Jiaojiao and the others were confused too.
The reward was given to them immediately. The Ancient Sealing Runestone was a Black Quality stone the size of a fist. There was only one line of description on it. 'This runestone is filled with evil...'
Jiaojiao weighed the Ancient Sealing Runestone in her hand and asked Li Yi, "Lil Yizi, what can this thing do?"
"This can be inlaid into equipment."
"Oh?" Jiaojiao's eyes brightened and gesticulated the Ancient Sealing Runestone over the Lord of Disaster. "Can I inlay it into my sword?"
Li Yi shook his head. "Nope."
"Where can I put it then?"
"Below your waist, above your thighs, within your panties..."
"Can I really put it there... F*ck off you impertinent son of a b*tch, go away!" Jiaojiao finally realized what was going on and immediately shot Li Yi a glare.
Fengxi, on the other hand, was entirely at ease. "How does it feel to have a powerhouse on your team? There's no need to thank me, it's nothing much anyways."
Unending Unmatched could not help but reprimand him. "You despicable poser!"
...
Below the stage, Scumbag Wang finally stopped his antics after he had been burrowing around for almost half a day. With the support of his numerous subordinates, he continued to watch the tournament with The Cat that Sings and the real Fengxi.
Since Fengxi was killed by Lil Stream the Summoner last time, he had no longer went to the Newbie Village. From that day onwards, Fengxi's actions of killing alt accounts had finally ended.
"Third brother, you're my third brother, right? Why would that guy onstage have the same name as yours? Ah, that gal is so gorgeous..." While Scumbag Wang was talking to the Real Fengxi, he was also busy looking at women without sacrificing progress on either of his endeavors.
Real Fengxi shook his head. "Second Brother, have you watched an imitation show before?"
"Imitation show? Do you mean those people on TV that looked like artists but are not actually artists?"
"Mhmm, do you know what I mean now?"
Scumbag Wang looked at the Fake Fengxi on stage when the realization hit him like a train. "I understand now."
Scumbag Wang approached The Cat that Sings and stood three feet away from her and asked, "Sister Cat, who's that dude on stage? Why is he called Fengxi too?"
The Cat that Sings answered him with another question. "Have you not recognized who he is?"
"Nope."
"Take your own sweet time and think about it. Be mindful of the distance and back off!"
"Oh, oh..."
Scumbag Wang obediently took a few steps backward, not daring to even breathe too hard in her general direction.
There were not many people that could intimidate Scumbag Wang seeing as he never avoided anyone. However, The Cat that Sings, who stood before him, was clearly the one person he was most afraid of. In other words, she was one of the people that he respected the most.
...
The Team Preliminaries had ended, but it was just the beginning of the Tournament. After this would be Individual Dueling and the Final Team Match, which were the true attractions of the Brawl King Tournament.
The 12 contestants on stage started to draw lots. Soon, the results of the first duel were announced.
The first Individual Match will be between Ah Ye and Shoot Until Daybreak.
The other contestants all left the stage. The host then announced that the duel would start after 10 minutes.
"Come, come, come, come. Place your bets! Be quick, my friends, you only have ten minutes!"
All major black-market dealerships grabbed the golden opportunity to continuously invite players to place their bets in their dealership.
Jiaojiao looked at Li Yi and blinked. "Lil Yizi, do you want to have a bet with me?"
"What are we betting?"
Jiaojiao looked gleeful. "I bet that Ah Ye would win this. My bet is 10 billion."
Li Yi stretched his hand. "10 billion? Do you even have that much money? Show me."
"Tsk, just answer me - do you have the guts to take on this bet?"
Li Yi went closer to her and whispered to her ear, "Alright, if you win this, I'll give you 10 billion. If you lose, you'll give me a good morning blowjob for an entire month."
"You despicable, shameless man! Hmph, I'll take that bet!"
Ten minutes had passed in a blink of an eye. With a loud gong, the battle between Ah Ye and Shoot Until Daybreak has commenced.
Ah Ye's strategy against Brother Windcloud Nine and Shoot Until Daybreak was the same. Start with the curse, heal himself, and run around. It was the same old trilogy.
Shoot Until Daybreak held the Sea God's Anger in his hand and chased after Ah Ye, never stopping with his arrows. Ah Ye circled the cylindrical column and ran, completely avoiding a head-on confrontation with his opponent.
Muting Shot, Repelling Shot, Powered-up Arrows, Chain Arrow Skill... Shoot Until Daybreak cycled through all of his skills, but when he checked Ah Ye's Health, he still had a full 17,000 HP. Aside from a minor decrease in his mana, nothing else had changed.
Shoot Until Daybreak's STR value, on the other hand, was continuously dropping due to the penalty inflicted by the Sinful Angel.
It was challenging for Shoot Until Daybreak to find a chance to corner Ah Ye and attempt to use combo hits on him. However, Ah Ye was not even affected by the Repelling Arrow Skill and had immediately snuck behind the cylindrical column.
With a hit recovery of 100 points, it was basically wishful thinking if Shoot Until Daybreak wanted to use combo hits on such a ruthless opponent like Ah Ye.
"F*ck!"
Shoot Until Daybreak spitefully spat.
Wanting to have a fast-paced fight with a class that was not explosive at all such as a Priest was too difficult of a feat to achieve. There was no choice but to grind on unless the opponent had no way to heal themselves.
"I refuse to believe that your mana will never deplete!"
Shoot Until Daybreak was no weakling. In the past life, he was the No.1 Archer God in the continent. Even though his radiance was overshadowed by the almost-demonically overpowered Li Yi in the present life, his abilities had stayed the same. He was just as powerful and capable now as he was back in his previous life!
With a whistle, Shoot Until Daybreak summoned his Pet. It was a Spectral Wolf with pitch-black fur.
The Spectral Wolf could use Spectral Bullets as a ranged attack, but its M-ATK was terrible as it could only cause a few hundred points of damage if it hit a target with the same level as itself. Thankfully, the Spectral Bullets had a special effect that could not only reduce the HP but also the current mana of the target.
The Spectral Wolf was categorized as a cursed being. When an Archer summoned it into the fight, the Archer would suffer from a penalty that reduced 10% of their max HP.
Pooft! Pooft! Pooft!
The Spectral Wolf spat several Spectral Bullets at Ah Ye where each bullet would cause only around 100 damage. Of course, this was not the goal of Shoot Until Daybreak. His true goal was to utilize the Spectral Wolf to shave off Ah Ye's mana!
How would a Priest heal himself if he no longer had any mana left? As long as his mana is gone, Shoot Until Daybreak would definitely win the match.
At the same time, the curse spell was still going on. Shoot Until Daybreak had used his valuable healing skill, Life Radiance, which increased his Health to around 5000 HP.
[-100]
[-200]
[-300]
[-300]
[-100]
The damage values would appear every second. On top of that, the curse spell had another special effect that allowed it to be stacked thrice consecutively towards the same target. However, the spell's duration would only last for half as long when compared to an unstacked spell.
The Spectral Wolf sprayed Spectral Bullets like a machine gun while Shoot Until Daybreak chased after Ah Ye, shooting arrows towards the latter without stopping. Even he felt the looming doom of helplessness the longer he fought against his opponent.
Ah Ye was still healing himself, proving that he still had enough mana for it. On the other hand, Shoot Until Daybreak had depleted all of his mana, which restricted him to only shooting regular arrows at the Priest.
Shoot Until Daybreak continued his chase for a while until his HP has dropped to below 1000. He heaved a long and dejected sigh before raising the bow in his hand to signal that he wanted to admit defeat.
There was no way that he could continue the battle. Ah Ye was still healing himself as if he has limitless mana. What could he do when his opponent was a player that simply refused to die? In the end, he would undoubtedly die from all the dawdling and grinding.
"Hahahaha, Lil Yizi, you've lost! Give me my 10 billion!"
Jiaojiao reached out to Li Yi with her small hands, as pleased like a cat that got its cream.
Li Yi patted the back of her hand meaningfully. "Come to my room tonight. I'll give you 20 billion... Unidentified white liquid..."
"F*ck off!"
