MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks Chapter 172

Published at 5th of June 2019 04:45:17 PM Chapter 172

During the eight years when King of Pantheon was in service, many players obtained flashy titles . Of course, it was unofficial . These were titles given and acknowledged by the players .

Li Yi's 'Emperor of the Night' title was one of them .

Brother Windcloud Nine was coined the Immovable King . Similar to Li Yi, both of their titles implied they were rulers . Compared with Unending Unmatched's title, Pursuing War God, the difference between the Ruler and God titles was quite clear .

Of course, Li Yi never made it to God level in his past life but this had more or less to do with his personal conduct . He had a few exchanges with Unending Unmatched in the past life . He suffered more loss than wins but there was once when he performed exceptionally well . Despite struggling with only 200 HP left, he struck a combo of skills to take down Unending Unmatched .

He was the only person who could take down Unending Unmatched in one strike . This event stirred up a commotion and if it were not for Li Yi's despicable character, he would have long received the God title .

"Step back!"

Confused Fox waved his arms and had the Eastern Continent players move backward to give space .

Brother Windcloud Nine resurrected and stood up from the ground with only very little HP left . He snorted coldly at Li Yi, "You, the trash who only kills alt accounts . Today, I call upon you . . . "

"Charge!"

"Heavy Blow! Muscle Rupture! Fury Critical Hit!"

A ear-piercing scream was heard as a blue figure knocked onto Brother Windcloud Nine in lightning flash . The two axes swung with both hands, rotating against Brother Windcloud Nine .

Miss! Miss! Miss! Parry! Parry!

The blue figure's series of attack hit empty . He halted his actions, but Brother Windcloud Nine still had 200+ HP .

It was then, a meteor of magic shot over, smacking straight on Brother Windcloud Nine . Brother Windcloud Nine's equipment may be terrifying but with only that little HP left and in the weak state that he was in, how could he resist against that many?

"Despicable!" Brother Windcloud Nine muttered and fell onto the ground .

The blue-robed man held up his axe and pointed at the corpse, "Arrogant c*nt!"

"Another cool move, Leader Scum!"

"Classic . Absolute classic . The ever-so grandeur Leader Scum single-handedly f*cked Brother Windcloud Nine after taking out Windcloud Overlord!"

The person who ambushed Brother Windcloud Nine was none other than Huashan Guild's Scumbag Wang . From the boot-licking remarks, it could not be anyone else other than his subordinates .

Li Yi winced, aghast at the sight .

"Dark Wing, you despicable, vile c*nt! What do you know apart from playing dirty?" Brother Windcloud Nine ignored Scumbag Wang and instead, cussed at Li YI .

Li Yi was speechless . . .

"Scumbag Wang, what're you stirring up? They were going to go one-on-one? Take your men and stand back!" Yang Xingchen was unable to put up with his stunt .

Scumbag Wang spatted, "Who are you? My boss? F*ck, you ain't the boss of me!"

"M*th*rf*ck*r Fallen Star, shut your pie hole or I'll f*ck you here!" One of Scumbag Wang's subordinate dressed in cotton clothes, who was a mere Level 10 Light Priest, scolded and pointed angrily at Yang Xingchen .

"Don't be a d*ck, a d*ck calls for a lightning strike," Scumbag Wang adjusted his hair, stepped on Brother Windcloud Nine's head and had his subordinates take his photo .

The one-on-one did not happen with Scumbag Wang's interference . The Western Continent players were outraged and spammed the world channel, calling out on Eastern Continent celebrity, Dark Wing's despicable actions . Li Yi was between laughter and tears . Nobody would understand the grievance he was going through .

"I didn't call for his ambush . "

"Get lost, do you think I'll believe you?" Brother Windcloud Nine cursed .

"Whatever," Li Yi looked sullenly at the arrogant Scumbag Wang .

"I swear I'll have my revenge on you!" Brother Windcloud Nine left these words before disappearing . He chose to drop three levels in order to return to the Western Continent .

Windcloud Overlord's corpse disappeared next . All corpses belonging to the Western Continent players vanished one after another until none was left behind .

The Western Continent players on the opposite side began to retreat . It was not long before all of them departed .

Just as such, a war had ended…

The Eastern Continent's Reputation Value stopped at 1,109/5,000 points . The Western Continent, on the other hand, was a sheer tragedy . Their Reputation Value stooped below 1,000 points, causing a panic in the continent . Not only did their overall taxes increased by 50%, but a few of their NPCs also fled .

What a catastrophic loss .

With the decrease in their camp's Reputation Value, it would require the cooperation of all players to execute corresponding quests to lift it up but earning points would not be faster than losing them .

Although the Eastern Continent lost a few cities, they were retained overall . It operated as usual after three or four days . As for the Western Continent, it would take them at least half a month's time to recover .

The Guild Masters ordered the disbandment of their people . The war brought about the outstanding presence of many unheard talents, such as Unending Unmatched, Scumbag Wang, etc .

But compared to them, Li Yi was getting the short end of the stick . He counter-ambushed the opposing party's weak Camp Hero and played dirty on a one-on-one . There were now two opposing opinions of him on the web .

His fans and supporters firmly believed that Dark Wing was framed . He has achieved many first kills, hence proving his ability . As such, there was no need for him to play dirty .

On the other hand, his opposers were convinced that Dark Wing was beyond despicable and a two-face . Not only did he chicken out on a one-on-one, he even had Scumbag Wang in the loop . What did this say about him? It meant he was a pompous c*nt .

For a while, the official web was flooded with posts, all related to the war between the two camps .

Although Li Yi's reputation suffered but compared to being universally condemned in his past life, this was nothing .

At the very least, there was still a group who believed in him . And this was enough .

Every month, the camp's Reputation Value would increase between 100 to 3,000 points (depending on various major cities' Prosperity Value and completion of camp's Reputation Value quests by players and this was refreshed on a monthly basis) so the Eastern Continent players wasted no time to complete camp quests in hopes to raise their camp's Reputation Value .

Among all the major cities invaded by Windcloud Overlord's party, Shattered Frost City sustained the least damage . In just three days, the normal NPCs that were killed respawned and the city resumed to normal .

Of course, apart from the negative image portrayed on Li Yi, another thing that happened in this war had left him gratified .

Windcloud Overlord led his troops to ambush Shattered Frost City and the sick Castellan, Archiemonde participated in the war . He sustained severe injuries and was now lying in bed, on the verge of his death .

Li Yi rushed to Castellan's residence to visit Archiemonde and found him without even the strength to speak . The HP displayed on top of his head was 100/90,000,000 .

A Priest's healing skill was useless, so was any other medical methods . There was nothing that could be done apart from watching him slip away from life .

Seeing Li Yi entering, Archiemonde nodded at him and gestured at his wife . The Castellan's wife cried as she took out the Castellan's seal and handed it over to Li Yi .

Archiemonde's wounds triggered another hidden story . There was no need for a siege and it was a mandate . Li Yi was taken aback .

"After my passing, treat the citizens kindly, treat my wife kindly . . . " Archiemonde struggled to spew his last words as his HP lessened by 20, becoming 180 .

The Castellan's wife burst out crying .

System Notification: [Accept Archiemonde's Commission?]

"Accept!"

Li Yi took the seal .

No matter how great a performance of an NPC, they would be replaced by players sooner or later . Even if Li Yi did not become Shattered Frost City's Castellan, it would not be long before many would fight for it .

Li Yi chose to accept, and a System announcement flooded the channel .

[Player, Dark Wing has accepted the commission of Castellan, Archiemonde, to become the new castellan of Shattered Frost City! Let us congratulate him!]

[You have achieved a Pantheon Hall of Fame record . You have learned Patrolling skill . You have learned Thousands of Men and Horses skill . . . You have learned . . . ]

Rows and rows of acquired skills placed Li Yi in a whirlwind of emotions .

He has never been a Castellan in his past . All he knew was what he read from the official web posted by others .

In order to become a Castellan, one must first have a guild . The position did not matter, whether they were a normal guild member or Guild Master . The starting point was the same . As long as Official Position Points were enough, they would end up the same .

Once the Official Position Points reached a certain degree, the corresponding city's Degree of Popular Support would grow slowly and once it reached 50% and above, Siege could be attempted .

This was different from seizing a city with pure force . Siege took more on the sophisticated stand . The original and present Castellan would launch a voting PK election, relying on the Degree of Popular Support . There, presented two circumstances — winning the election and replacing the original castellan while the other was losing the election, costing the Degree of Popular Support to be nulled or reduced to half .

The higher the Degree of Popular Support, the higher the success rate of Siege . Of course, there were happenings of election failures even with 80% Degree of Popular Support against a 10% Degree of Popular Support . All in all, unless there was a 100% Degree in Popular Support, there was still a certain percentage of failing .

Contrary to seizing a city with force, the Prosperity Value of a city would not decrease due to the election . In fact, there would be an increase . Similarly, in order to celebrate the appointment of the new Castellan, the entire city would be tax-free for a month . In other words, it was beneficial to both the Castellan and players .

For Archiemonde to willingly give up his position, Li Yi's Degree of Popular Support raised to 87% and the Prosperity Value sky-rocketed 2,000 points, evidently making Shattered Frost City be the unparalleled flourishing major city of the Eastern Continent .

"For the glory of Shattered Frost City!" Archiemonde shouted before losing consciousness . His HP was deducted by 100 points, with only 80 points remaining .

The Castellan's wife threw herself on him and bawled . It was a tragic sight .

Li Yi left the Castellan's residence and rode his Crimson Tiger King to Blade Peak .

A mortal was unable to save Archiemonde but the Eastern Continent's Camp Hero, Dragon Rider Augustus could!
