[Dancing Flute {Gold quality)]

[Equipment level: 1]

[Special Tool]

[Function: Causes the user and every player around them in a 10-yard radius to start dancing uncontrollably. Cooldown 2 minutes.]

Li Yi initiated the Rocket Propellant on his shoes and instantly shot up into the air.

The Dancing Flute was used to make players dance uncontrollably, but its effects could be negated with even the slightest of motions. After all, this item was just a gimmick.

As Li Yi successfully escaped, the Elite snake monster’s aggro was transferred back to Big Boy.

“Black Hole!”

Big Boy tossed out a Black Hole, holding back the Elite snake monster.

“Come help me quick, I won’t be able to last much longer!”

The Dark Wizard’s Black Hole had one major downside. When the user is casting it, they were not allowed to move, otherwise, the Black Hole would instantly disappear.

God-Killing Gale immediately charged over. However, before he started attacking the snake monster, he threw a Shift Blame onto Big Boy. That way, all the aggro from his attacks would be shifted over to Big Boy.

Lil Girl was a Light Priest, so she could only heal. Naturally, she was completely helpless when it came to combat. Autumn Love found a nice little spot to hide in afar and started firing out Frost Bolts, whereas Li Yi also did not move forward. Soon, the Elite snake monster’s aggro on Big Boy was over 3,000!

Target locked!

Once a monster’s aggro meter is above 3,000 points, they would not easily change targets anymore.

Li Yi halfheartedly shot out one arrow after the other, carefully maintaining his aggro below 3,000 points.

“Dark Wing, I know we’re not from the same camp but we have no grudges. I’m not an MT! Hurry and summon out your Violent Bear, I can’t hold it much longer…” Big Boy urged.

Li Yi ignored him as he continued to maintain his aggro level.

God-Killing Gale went wild with his attacks, his daggers waving around like a mesmerizing dance. After pushing his combo higher and higher, he managed to increase the Elite snake monster’s aggro meter on Big Boy to above 10,000 points.

With an aggro meter of more than 10,000 points, there was no chance the target could be changed any more…

As Black Hole finally ended, the Elite snake monster caught up to Big Boy. With a swing of its dual blades, a beautiful [-5745] appeared above Big Boy’s head.

“Stop messing around, I really can’t take it much more!” Big Boy yelled as he turned around and started running.

Li Yi still did not do anything. It was not his intention to harm Big Boy, but he really wanted to find out what was Big Boy’s potential at this point in time.

When Big Boy and Lil Girl were running dungeons, did they ever use MTs?

No, they never did.

If they never used MTs when running dungeons, would they need one for this dungeon?

Li Yi’s intentions were simple, he wanted to force Big Boy’s hand!

God-Killing Gale, on the other hand, was just doing it because he wanted to see Big Boy dead.

Under the furious slashing of the Elite snake monster, Big Boy’s HP dwindled down to zero as he dropped to the ground.

At that point, Li Yi whistled out loud, summoning the Violent Bear King to the fray.

He was honestly quite impressed with Big Boy. ‘This bastard would rather die than show his trump card…’

Other people might not understand Big Boy, but Li Yi knew him very well. In his past life, Big Boy was the first player in King of Pantheon to reach the Level Cap. Clad in a +10 set Dark Wizard King equipment and wielding an Annihilation Staff that halved his casting speed, he was the idol of countless Dark Wizard players.

There was no point in trying to push it further. Li Yi still wanted to know Big Boy’s current abilities, but he did not intend to let the party get wiped.

As the Violent Bear King charged up, Li Yi targeted Mislead onto it. After shooting two more arrows, the Elite snake monster’s aggro shifted towards the Violent Bear King.

Violent Bear King had high HP and DEF, combine that with the healing from Lil Girl at the back, tanking the Elite snake monster’s hits was a piece of cake.

The Elite snake monster had 1,200,000 HP. That number felt like a lot, but under the uninterrupted attacks from Li Yi and company, the number was quickly reduced to zero.

Lil Girl used a Resurrection Spell on Big Boy, saving him from the dead. As he got resurrected, Big Boy had a huge smile on his face. He did not look like a person who just got griefed earlier.

A player’s EXP would not decrease if they were resurrected by the Resurrection Spell. Other than having their equipment durability decrease, there was absolutely no punishment from dying in that manner.

Autumn Love ran up and squatted down in front of the Elite snake monster’s corpse. Once again, she pulled out her Dismantling Knife…

Li Yi once again pulled a monster over. This time, Big Boy was hiding far away from Li Yi, he was afraid he would become the target of Mislead once more.

‘This bastard, he’s still as crafty as ever I see…’

Reminiscing back to the days where he was fighting alongside this person, Li Yi could not help but sigh as he shook his head.

‘If the whole marriage incident did not happen later on, maybe… we could’ve still been friends?’

Li Yi targeted Mislead onto the Violent Bear King. Shooting out an arrow, he used Pseudocide and dropped to the ground once more.

Big Boy’s brow relaxed. He waved his staff around and shot out a black ball.

“You should’ve done that earlier! Bro, the repairing fees aren’t cheap, you know?”

“Shift Blame!”

Li Yi had temporarily given up trying to check out Big Boy’s skills, but one could not say the same for God-Killing Gale. He was fully invested in trying to get Big Boy dead. Hence, right before he started attacking, he used Shift Blame on Big Boy.

“Again? I can’t bloody take this no more!” (TN: Written in an accent.)

Seeing the snake monster charging at him, Big Boy started running once more.

“Brother Gale, an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind, a smile upon meeting shall kill all enmity! I’ve already let bygones be bygones, why are you still so fixated on this grudge? Ai yai yai…” Big Boy shouted out as he continued running, enraging God-Killing Gale even more to the point where God-Killing Gale wanted to use an AoE spell to attack him.

“Missy Autumn, what the hell is up with those two?”

Li Yi secretly messaged Autumn Love asking.

“Eighteen pieces of snake meat for three Silver each, a pile of snake bones for one Silver… Ah ah ah, what did you say?”

As Li Yi messaged Autumn Love, this lady was busy doing her accounting…

“I have no clue. Two snakeskins should fetch me around five Silver…” Autumn Love just brushed his question off as she continued to do her counting.

The snake monster was chasing after Big Boy whilst God-Killing Gale was following closely behind using Shift Blame as he attacked. The aggro meter skyrocketed as the snake monster continued to chase after Big Boy.

‘Time to grab the popcorn!’

Li Yi had the Violent Bear King hold its position as he half-heartedly shot his arrows.

This was the personal grudge of Big Boy and God-Killing Gale. If this was not settled, there was no way they could clear the dungeon!

‘This bastard, did he touch someone else’s wife again?’

Li Yi made a hypothesis in his head.

Based on Li Yi’s understanding of Big Boy, he was not a bad fellow. However, this person had a weird problem, or rather a weird fetish. He loved to flirt with other people’s wives, especially… Especially in front of their husbands.

Due to this weird fetish of his, Big Boy was constantly being hunted down by various people. However, he seemed to find a weird sense of amusement out of it all. Even after he was hunted down he would still be all laughs, never holding any grudges nor any signs of repentance. The next time they met, he would still continue to flirt, it was always an infuriating sight to behold.

Suddenly, the snake monster caught up to Big Boy. With a couple swings of its blade, Big Boy almost dropped dead once more. Luckily, Lil Girl managed to heal him just in time, allowing him to survive by a hair’s breadth. However, by the looks of it, this could only last for a few more seconds.

Lil Girl’s Resurrection Spell could only be used once every five minutes. If Big Boy died once more, he would have to lie there helplessly for five whole minutes if he did not want to corpse run.

‘He probably can’t pretend any longer, I think?’ Li Yi thought as he looked at Big Boy who was still running away with a pitiful look on his face.

“Come out, my slave!”

Just as Li Yi expected, Big Boy gave up on running. Waving his staff, a hexagram appeared on the ground as a creature of darkness crawled out from it.

Clad in pitch black armor, with one hand wielding a sword and the other wielding a shield, the creature stood there silently, giving off a majestic aura.

It was the Dark Wizard’s Epic-level Summoning skill – the Dark Shield Warrior!

The Dark Shield Warrior’s HP was 20,000 and its DEF was comparable to the Violent Bear King. If Big Boy used it, he could easily beat any dungeon.

The Dark Shield Warrior blocked the snake monsters, steadily pulling its aggro.

Big Boy made a helpless face. “Why must you push me into a corner? Sigh, now my trump card is out for everyone to see, what a waste.”

God-Killing Gale only snorted as he continued to use Shift Blame on Big Boy. However, this time, his plan failed. The Dark Shield Warrior’s ATK was no big deal, but its aggro-pulling capabilities would put even the best MT classes to shame. Every time it looked like the snake monster’s aggro was about to shift, it would automatically use Dark Command to forcefully move the aggro back to itself.

With Lil Girl healing it from the back, the Dark Shield Warrior was steadily pulling the aggro of the snake monster. No matter how God-Killing Gale attacked, it did not change a thing.

Li Yi dismissed the Violent Bear King and summoned out Lightning Leopard, finally taking the battle more seriously.

In this party, other than Lil Girl, the remaining four DPSes had high damage outputs. Big Boy’s DPS was over 10,000, so was God-Killing Gale’s DPS. Needless to say, Li Yi’s DPS was also over 10,000. Even Autumn Love, who was slightly behind, could manage to dish out more than 6,000 DPS.

“Hahaha, how interesting, how interesting.”

Looking at the DPS stats, Big Boy laughed as he got even more into it.

With the Dark Shield Warrior tanking at the frontlines, no one could grief anymore. Thus, everyone breathed freely and started to dish out as much damage as they could.

This was a whole different way of competing!

Once the snake monster was dealt with, Big Boy immediately checked the DPS rankings.

[Total Damage Dealt]

[God-Killing Gale(11022 DPS) – First]

[Big Boy(13211 DPS) – Second]

[Dark Wing(12100 DPS) – Third]

[Autumn Love(6547 DPS) – Fourth] (TN: Author wrote this in paragraph form with various different formatting, standardized it as a System Notification for ease of reading.)

Based on the total amount of damage dealt to the monster, God-Killing Gale was ranked on top. However, in terms of DPS, Big Boy was the highest.

Big Boy laughed, “Hahaha, looks like all of us are pros at this. How ’bout this, why not we make a little bet?”

“Bet?” Autumn Love had a twinkle in her eyes. This chick loved to gamble after all.

“Let’s reset the records and have a small duel between us four DPSes. We’ll see who has the highest DPS, you guys in?”

“What’s the bet? Speak!” Autumn Love urged.

“Winner gets to – touch her!”

Big Boy said as he pointed at Lil Girl. Other than Li Yi, the other three were taken aback.

Li Yi was not surprised even the slightest. This was because he had already guessed that Big Boy would want to make this kind of bet.

“Whoever gets the highest DPS will get to touch this Lil Girl for half an hour. I’m a man of my word, so you betcha I’ll keep my promise!”

“Who’s Lil Girl to you anyway?” God-Killing Gale asked with a frown.

Big Boy shrugged. “You can think of her as my wife.”

Big Boy did not speak anymore. Lil Girl also remained silent, seemingly resigned to her fate…

“This ain’t fair for me. So, even if I win, I’ll only get to touch her? I’m also a girl, and I’m not into that kinda thing.” Autumn Love protested.

“Then you can touch me! I won’t mind.” Big Boy said with a face full of sincerity.

“Scram! Y’all enjoy your betting session, I ain’t joining.”

“So the winner gets to touch Lil Girl, then what about the losers?” Li Yi asked.

Big Boy let out a small chuckle, “Loser takes out one purple equipment from their inventory and hands it over to the winner!”

“Great idea, I’m in!” God-Killing Gale said with a pair of glimmering eyes.

“Dark Wing, do you dare to join in on this bet?” The one asking this was not Big Boy, but Lil Girl.

The corner of Li Yi’s mouth raised slightly. “Why wouldn’t I be?”

Once the Party Leader Autumn Love reset the DPS records, Li Yi used Mislead on the Dark Shield Warrior before shooting an arrow and using Pseudocide.

“Let the bet begin!”
