Chapter 690: For the Sake of Holy Attribute
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wielding maces, ten high spirited demons pursued Jiaojiao like crazy. Feeling the heat, Li Yi worried they may have summoned one too many...
The demons sealed within Ancient Sealing Runestones were actually mini-bosses. The Pantheon officials set them up in the belief that everyone has the capability of beating a boss. Thus, whether a Blue or Gold monster was released, it would have boss-level power.
Li Yi had to say, he had underestimated the demons released by these low-level runestones. It had been a number of years since he used them. Were this his past life, he would have defeated them instantly. He never imagined this would happen.
"Brother Yi, Brother Yi, I can't hold on..."
Lugging her greatsword, Jiaojiao was sweating all over from running. Her movement was gradually becoming sluggish.
Li Yi's Territory light barrier was beginning to shake, seemingly on the verge of collapsing. He could only maintain it for another 3 minutes. If the light barrier were to rupture, the demons' true SPD would be revealed and after that...
"Blast them with all you got!"
Li Yi consumed a bottle of Fury Potion and had his HP reduced in exchange for Overlord Arrows.
"Lil Jiao, hold them there!"
Qian'er retreated from the Territory light barrier with Flash and raised her scepter high to unleash Meteor Fire Shower.
A huge fireball descended from the sky and smashed onto the ten demons. In circumstances where equipment was equal, the damage caused by the Wizard class far exceeded other classes. The use of Meteor Fire Shower has expedited the reduction of their HP.
"Ao ao aooo aooo..."
The ten demons cried in pain as they dragged their maces, racing towards Qian'er.
"Get back here!"
Jiaojiao made motions of pulling and tugging, firing several purple rays to drag the distant demons near her.
Group Death's Grasp!
Seizing the opportunity, Qian'er continued using Meteor Fire Shower and managed to wipe out another nine demons before Li Yi's Territory light barrier disappeared.
With nine Blue Quality Green Demon Vanguards falling, several red, white, yellow, and green items were dropped and scattered on the ground.
The method of picking up items was different in Foreignland, as the demons' corpses would immediately disappear, there was no need for looting. Both equipment and materials would simply drop onto the ground.
"You guys pick the items up, I'll handle the rest!"
Li Yi raised his bow to fire two shots, pulling the Red Demon Commander's aggro and kiting it as he went.
Without his Territory light barrier, the Red Demon Commander's speed was incredibly fast, even faster than a Warrior's Charge. If it were not for Violent Bear King blocking beneath Li Yi's feet, it would have long caught up.
Jiaojiao and Qian'er ran towards the dropped items pile, picking them all up regardless the quality.
Once the items were in their bags, Jiaojiao and Qian'er came to lend a hand. The Red Demon Commander may be quick on its feet but with the trio coordinating between hits, the demon ran around like a headless chicken, running around without focusing on one target.
Soon, the Red Demon Commander let out a wail and fell onto its knees. Several lights crept through its body before it collapsed onto the ground.
The Red Demon Commander was of a higher rank than the Green Demon Vanguards, so it had a higher drop rate. It dropped a total of seven items.
"Pick them up!"
Li Yi dashed ahead to pick them up with the two girls following closely behind. These items were swiftly collected.
When picking up items in Foreignland, even for items dropped by one's party, one has to stand over it for 3 seconds to pick it up. This was the reason why Li Yi had the two girls prioritize picking up the items.
The trio had just finished when other players showed up in the area.
There were players from the Invincible Continent, Fluttering Snow Continent, and Ninth Continent. Initially, there were only several dozen, but the population grew to thousands in seconds.
This place was the entrance to Foreignland, and also the only place to use Ancient Sealing Runestones. Li Yi took a huge risk unsealing all their runestones in one go so that they would avoid competition.
Fortunately, they managed to use all their Ancient Sealing Runestones before the arrival of this large group of players. As for any runestones they obtained in the future, they would have to butt heads with other players then.
"Let's go!"
Li Yi dragged the two girls towards the strange forest called the Demon King's Tentacles.
Jiaojiao cried out of fear, "I don't want to, I don't want to, yamete..."
Just one look at those wiggling tentacles and an animation of a certain island came to Miss Jiao's mind. Fear struck her witnessing the same scenario before her eyes.
"It'll be too late if we don't hurry. I'll throw you in there if you keep on yelling."
Miss Jiao dared not utter another word at Li Yi's threat. She clamped both her hands around his arm, refusing to let go.
"Let go, let go, let go!"
As they drew close to the Demon King's Tentacles forest, Li Yi yelped in pain, prompting Miss Jiao to apprehensively loosen her grip
Li Yi then took out a scroll and started chanting in the direction of the Demon King's Tentacle forest.
"Light shall banish Evil and justice shall prevail..."
"A Light Prayer Scroll? Jiaojiao exchanged glances with Qian'er.
Light Prayer Scrolls were common enrichment scrolls in King of Pantheon. According to the scroll's level and quality, its use could add 10 points, 20 points, or 30 points to one's Light attribute but no matter it's level and quality, it would last for 20 seconds.
The Light Prayer Scroll used by Li Yi was definitely of top grade as it not only could be used on the group, the maximum of 30 points would be added to their Light attribute.
Jiaojiao was confused, "What's this for? We don't have any Light attribute weapons. It's pointless, old big brother."
"Let's go."
Li Yi pulled the hands of both women as he sprinted towards the Demon King's Tentacle forest.
The blessing of the Light Prayer Scroll caused the trio's bodies to shimmer in white light. The dark Demon King's Tentacles kept away from them, leaving them free to escape through this region unharmed.
20 seconds was just enough for them to pass through the Demon King's Tentacles region.
"Anything with the Light attribute can banish the Demon King's Tentacles but we don't have a Light Priest. This was the only for us to cross over."
Turning back for a glance, the state of the players from the three continents was, needless to say, a quite chaotic as chants of war soared through the sky.
The trio continued their journey ahead and it was not long before they bumped into another Demon King's Tentacles forest. Li Yi repeated his method of using a Light Prayer Scroll to cross smoothly.
As they went deeper into Foreignland, their line of sight grew darker. Flying mounts were unusable in Foreignland and coordinates were not displayed here, it was easy to get lost if one was not familiar with the place.
Luckily, Li Yi was fairly familiar with Foreignland. He led the two women to the left and right, avoiding demons. The journey was quite a breeze.
"Lil Yi'zi, where are we heading to?"
Having crossed the Demon King's Tentacles forest, the fear paralyzing Jiaojiao was gone. She casually smacked Li Yi's shoulder and asked Li Yi a ton of questions.
Li Yi was acting mysterious, "I received a secret quest. The location to turn it in is somewhere in Foreignland. I should be able to obtain ten divine weapons if I complete it."
"Way to toot your own horn," Jiaojiao said contemptuously.
"Ah right, take out the items you picked up. Let's see how many of them have the Holy attribute."
The trio retrieved all the items that were dropped by the runestone demons. After a quick check, there were 17 items dropped by the ten demons and 16 of them were Blue Quality items while one was of Gold Quality.
All the items were at Level 100. The Gold Quality item was a Warrior's armor, but it was without the Holy attribute. Out of the 16 Blue Quality item, only one had the Holy attribute. A +1 Holy and +300 INT cloth wristguard for the Wizard class.
Jiaojiao was not happy about it, "Only one with the Holy attribute? Bah!"
"One item is good enough. Qian Qian equip this. The INT on this wristguard may be low but the +1 Holy will raise the damage to demons by significantly."
Li Yi summoned his personal robot and took out the Legendary Treasure Chest and White Elf's Gratitude Giftpack that he had been saving for a long time from his inventory.
The Legendary Treasure Chest was obtained from the Brawl King Tournament while the White Elf's Gratitude Giftpack was obtained from completing the Frost Forest's series quests and it had been in his inventory for over two years now.
Ding!
Li Yi opened the White Elf's Gratitude Giftpack and received a Level 100 Blue Quality hat.
[White Elf's Crown (+2 Holy)]
[+100 DEF]
[+100 INT]
[+100 WIL]
{+100 STR]
[+100 END]
[Note: This is a gift presented in gratitude to you by the White Elf's Chief.]
...
The attributes were quite shitty for this item, but the bright side was that it had the Holy attribute.
Li Yi kept the shitty giftpack for two years before opening it for the +2 Holy attribute. Of course, he discovered this secret from the forum in his past life. As it left quite an impression, he kept this tip in mind.
Jiaojiao was stunned, "What giftpack was that? The White Elf's Gratitude Giftpack? I had it once, but I opened it long ago and threw it away."
Qian'er's eyes lit up, "I never did this quest. My newbie quest was in the Southern Continent. Does this mean I can do it?"
"It's too late now. The giftpack no longer exists since the Frost Forest dungeon is over."
Li Yi equipped the hat and held the Legendary Treasure Chest in his hands, hesitating to open it.
"A guaranteed Legendary item. Jiaojiao, Qian Qian, what do you think I'll get?"
Jiaojiao replied, "Trash."
Qian'er answered, "Divine weapon."
"Okay, let's see whether donkey breath or sweet lips got it right."
"Quit your yapping and open it," Jiaojiao snorted impatiently. She then pointed at Li Yi and shouted, "Who're you calling donkey breath?"
Li Yi smiled at Qian'er, "I didn't say it was Qian'er."
"Oh... sounds about right," Jiaojiao nodded before realizing. She pounced at Li Yi like a feisty tiger, tightening her grasp around Li Yi's neck and wrangling back and forth.
"Quit messing around. I'm going to open it now. Watch the birth of a Legendary item!"
Li Yi gently opened the Legendary Treasure Chest and an orange light shone brightly out of it. The Legendary Treasure Chest then shattered and disappeared, leaving behind a bow of peculiar shape in Li YI's hands.
The bow was pitch black with multiples curves and twists on its surface. The most eye-catching section was on its both ends, where a dense area of barbs developed. With bloodstains over the area, it gave out a rather ominous aura.
"Orange Quality weapon!" Jiaojiao and Qian'er cried out in unison.
Li Yi held out the new Orange Quality Bow, not knowing how to react.
Of course, the attributes on an Orange Quality weapon were worth a look at but the problem was, he already owned the Wrath of the Stars...
