Chapter 572 - Your Woman’s Stepping Out of Line

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The monster they were battling against was indeed Cerberus. However, this Cerberus was different from normal circumstances, as in this case, it has been demonized.

The three black dog heads opened their mouth in unison, spewing out black flames fused with dark attribute. This attack could temporarily lower all attributes of the target and the effect could stack, making the battle more difficult over time.

Li Yi joined in the battle and focused on DPS. The situation immediately saw a change.

The demonized Cerberus was blessed with amazing ability and high HP. Brother Windcloud Nine and Jiaojiao teamed up and only managed to reduce its HP by 5% but Li Yi’s participation and series of Orange Quality Bow shots decreased Cerberus’ HP rapidly and soon 10% was gone.

“Aooo aooo aoooo —”

Cerberus howled in pain and ignored Brother Windcloud Nine and Jiaojiao to go after Li Yi.

This monster did not have a fixed aggro target. It would go after the person who hurt it the most.

Li Yi stopped his attack and swiftly moved back. Cerberus ran at the speed of lightning, catching up in seconds. The three dog heads spurted black flames and clawed six times before Li Yi fell dead.

This was the outcome of a non-main tank coming in contact with Cerberus...

Brother Windcloud Nine’s Taunt and Jiaojiao’s Dark Command had no effect on Cerberus. Its aggro could not be pulled away with skills. It would chomp down on whoever who caused harm to it!

Li Yi waited until Cerberus pounced back at Brother Windcloud Nine to resurrect on the spot.

Any resurrection skill or tools were disabled in Soul Gate dungeon but every player has three complimentary chances to resurrect on the spot.

No one recalled Cerberus’ non-aggro and before they could recover, it was too late.

Li Yi resurrected on the spot but did not go after Cerberus. Instead, he retreated to a dark corridor to guard against Tyrant Sword King the Fifth who may resurrect and ambush them.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was not stupid. He knew from the start that Brother Windcloud Nine and Li Yi were friends and out of the five who entered Soul Gate, he was the only outsider. If he chose to resurrect, he would only meet with death. He was clear on that.

Tyrant Sword King did not revive and remain on the ground where he was.

Szh! Szh!

Li Yi stood at the entrance of the dark corridor as he fired two shots at Cerberus.

He learned his lesson this time. He was careful in manipulating the arrow attacks, firing a few shots at a time.

“Aoooo aooo —”

He fired less than ten arrows when Cerberus started howling and headed straight for Li Yi, ditching the current targets...

“WTH?”

In a daze, Li Yi immediately dropped dead with Pseudocide before Camouflaging.

Losing its attack target, Cerberus aimlessly howled a couple of times before turning back to hit Brother Windcloud Nine.

Jiaojiao cried out, “Your damage’s too high. Switch your weapon!”

Li Yi unequipped his Orange Quality Bow and equipped his backup Purple Quality Bow. He waited until Pseudocide and Camouflage’s cooldown period was over before resuming shooting Cerberus.

It was going on smoothly this time. The damage dealt by Li Yi cut to half and was not enough to pull Cerberus’ aggro.

Brother Windcloud Nine was a Paladin who was proficient in heals while Jiaojiao was a Dark Paladin with effective Drain effect from Mortal Strike though she was not proficient in heals. Both of them were completely self-reliant. In other words, despite Sister Windcloud Nine’s effort in raising her staff and healing them, she was disposable.

A thought suddenly came to Li Yi’s mind, “Sister Nine, where’s your Tuhr Sacred Sword?”

Sister Windcloud Nine stopped what she was doing and answered, “In cooldown...”

“Huh?”

“It’s different from the outside. My sword here only lasts for a minute and can only be summoned once every hour.”

Li Yi exclaimed at Sister Windcloud Nine’s explanation. It was no wonder he did not see the sword, it has been restricted.

“Stop healing. Use your curse spells to curse it!”

Sister Windcloud Nine dropped what she was doing, “What?”

“The blood you’re adding has little to no effect.”

Sister Windcloud Nine’s face went red.

Following Li Yi’s instruction, Sister Windcloud Nine focused on unleashing curse spells, instantly turning the tables on the situation.

Weakening Spell, Deceleration, Confusion, Insanity, Weakening Curse, Level decrease... Various negative states were blasted on Cerberus, lowering his battle effectiveness by a large margin.

Brother Windcloud Nine snorted, “If only you did this from the start, stupid b*tch!”

Sister Windcloud Nine clenched onto her staff and dared not answer back. Jiaojiao, on the other hand, could not put up to it. She curled her lips and ridiculed Brother Windcloud Nine, “If you’re so smart, why did you marry a stupid wife?”

Brother Windcloud Nine was in shock to think of any comeback while Sister Windcloud Nine burst into laughter. It was not long before she realized the meaning of Jiaojiao’s words and her face turned bright red.

In this prolonged battle, Li Yi became a supporting role. He was not any more useful than Brother Windcloud Nine’s silly b*tch, Sister Windcloud Nine. She could toss a bunch of curses and shorten Cerberus’ attributes while he has to watch his step in fear Cerberus would come after him.

About ten minutes later, Ouyang Qian and a Thief named Windcloud Killer were teleported in.

After Li Yi’s announcement, Ouyang Qian touched the black sphere and then the white sphere, largely reducing the teleportation time. It was all thanks to Li Yi she was able to be teleported in this fast.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth called out with delight at the sight of Ouyang Qian, “Little sister...”

Ouyang Qian ignored him and moved with Flash to the front, crossing over his corpse. Li Yi would be all smiles if he were to witness this scene, seeing how much he hated Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.

Thief Windcloud Killer held a double blade as he swarmed towards Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, snickering with bad intention.

“You’re camping me?”

“Bingo!”

“Hehe, brother, I’ll give you a piece of advice to go over and help them with the boss. There’s no point in you camping me.”

Windcloud Killer snorted and twirled his blades. Narrowing his eyes, he did not have the intention to leave.

As it was his people at the front, he must not let this guy get up and disrupt the battle, therefore he must camp him here. These were the thoughts of Windcloud Killer.

“You must not know who I am, I presume? I am the No. 1 Thief of the Windcloud Clan. Remember my name, I’m Windcloud Killer.”

“Sigh...” Tyrant Sword King the Fifth sighed.

Ouyang’s participation in battle hastened Cerberus’ death. However, they had Ouyang Qian remove her Orange Quality Scepter to lower the damage she dealt, due to previous experience. Naturally, Cerberus’ aggro never went near her as a result.

Li Yi went near Ouyang Qian to fight alongside her. After a while, he asked, “Qian’er, did you see King Fifth when you came in?”

“Nope.”

“Really?”

“Don’t talk to me about him.”

“What’s your relationship with him? I can sense that you really hate him?”

“I don’t want to talk about it.”

“Then I’ll stop asking.”

The five joined forces and soon took down Cerberus.

After Cerberus’ death, its body vaporized into black smoke and was absorbed into Soul Gate. Nothing was left behind, not even a single miscellaneous item.

Ouyang Qian asked, “Brother Nine, what was that? Isn’t Cerberus your mount? How did it become a monster?”

Brother Windcloud Nine took out a dog head for everyone to see.

“My mount’s still here. What we killed earlier was its clone...” Brother Windcloud Nine shook his head and added, “Just remember not to use your mount here.”

Jiaojiao made a huge fuss, “You used your mount? No wonder a clone was created. Oh, I get it now, you’re the stupid idiot, humph...”

Brother Windcloud Nine blushed, “Who knew clones would be made out of summoned mounts? Did you know that?”

“I don’t but I didn’t summon one.”

Brother Windcloud Nine secretly sent a message to Li Yi, “Dark Wing, your woman’s stepping out of line. You should discipline her at home.”

Li Yi glared at Jiaojiao, “Shut up!”

Jiaojiao stuck her tongue out at him in response.

With the monster created by Brother Windcloud Nine dead, the place turned silent.

Brother Windcloud Nine asked, “Should we wait here or go in first?”

Li Yi looked into the party info before saying, “Let’s wait for them. We have too little of us here.”

There was a party limit of 25 in challenging Soul Gate. There may be a hubbub out there but in Soul Gate, one could only have 25 party members, including one’s self to fight alongside each other.

There were million-men dungeons in King of Pantheon but such a setting was gone after Glory dungeon.

Jiaojiao bit her finger and tilted her head, “I wonder who will be teleported in. If it’s an enemy, what should we do?”

Ouyang Qian held her scepter horizontally, “Kill, if we can’t kill them, we’ll be killed.”

The next player who was teleported into the dungeon was no enemy. It was Iron Alliance’s Dream Guild member, female Dwarf commander, Shangguan Bailu.

Shangguan Bailu was a Summoner but different from Chen Yang who was a Natural Summoner, she played an Undead Summoner.

With Shangguan Bailu here, she, of course, joined the party led by Li Yi.

Li Yi asked, “Sister Shangguan, how’s the situation out there?”

Shangguan Bailu shook her head, “It’s not looking good. Fluttering Snow Alliance’s main force are in Land of Choice now. They’re clearing our people out.”

Li Yi contacted Confused Fox to enquire the situation but obtained the same answer as Shangguan Bailu. The situation out there was not looking good with the arrival of Fluttering Snow Alliance’s main forces. The Whole of Windcloud and Iron Alliance were gathered outside Land of Choice, preparing for another blow.

Brother Windcloud Nine responded in regret, “We came in too soon!”

Li Yi sighed, “It’s good we came in early. We wouldn’t be able to make it in any later.”

Due to his personal charm, he was now public enemy number one. He would not have the confidence to face these pack of hungry players if he did not enter sooner.

“Brother Nine, I’m being messed with here. Come quick!”

Windcloud Killer suddenly shouted in the party channel.

Brother Windcloud Nine dashed into the dark corridor with Li Yi following close behind him.

At the end of the dark corridor, was Windcloud Killer lying on the ground and in front of him, was a Violent Warrior and a Wizard camping him.

Fluttering Snow Alliance’s Brother Simon and Lil Jinlian has teleported in!
