Chapter 487: Drifting Snow

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Onyxia the Black Dragon Princess flew down from the sky with only 6,000,000 HP left. In a blink of an eye, she turned into a black-robed beauty and walked towards Li Yi.

Onyxia had not died, but her injuries were very severe. Her injuries were still visible all over her even when she was already in her human form. Those were burn injuries from the Phoenix Flames.

“What an irritating feeling.”

“Ah, Lord Castellan…”

“My confidence in this city has decreased.”

“I’m thinking of selling the title deeds I have…”

Chaos ensued outside the Shattered Frost City. Kelly, Taka, and other Unique NPCs grumbled complaints as they walked into the city to return to their positions.

These Unique NPCs were highly skilled, but they cannot be expected to help of their own volition. As long as they were not directly provoked during a city-wide massacre, they would automatically evacuate the city when the war has spread through one-third of the city.

Of course, it was not entirely impossible to seek for their help. By putting in an effort to increase their Affinity to certain levels, these Unique NPCs would voluntarily help whenever someone decides to attack the city in the future.

This time, the Shattered Frost City has suffered great losses. Two Unique NPCs has escaped the city. Thankfully Kelly the golden goose did not leave, otherwise, the loss would be immeasurable.

Jiaojiao said, “Someone has recorded a video of the battle. Do you want to take a look?”

“Play it.”

The battle recording went on. On the display was a player riding on a non-combat flying mount, a white gryphon. His outfit was nothing out of the ordinary, and he had no rare items on him. However, a gigantic Flaming Phoenix trailed behind him.

The Flaming Phoenix was at least a size bigger than Onyxia. When the Flaming Phoenix flew across the sky, it was as if the sun itself has descended. The sky and the earth were surrounded in scorching heat!

Li Yi’s guess was accurate. The player shown in the scene that owned a Divine Bird Phoenix was Drifting Snow, one of the best go-getters of the Fluttering Snow Alliance.

Drifting Snow was highly capable, but it was his astonishing luck, not his operating skills that had people feeling jealousy bordering on hatred over him.

Yes, luck!

It could not be seen nor could it be touched. Even its existence was an unknown factor.

Drifting Snow was a seasoned player by now. Throughout his long journey in gaming, he had repeatedly gotten ultra-rare items that other ordinary players would probably never possess in their entire life. For instance, when he was playing the Classic Edition of the Legend of Mir 2 long ago, this guy was so bad*ss that he had dug up five Paralysis Rings in a row. When he was playing World Domination, he has managed to craft himself a game-breaking overpowered weapon called something along the lines of Love Sword. The sword has a special effect that would automatically replenish the health of the player whenever the player was getting hit. It was so overpowered that it would make any opponent lose their minds. 1

Many unbelievable drops all happened to one person. How could this be understood with common logic? With good operating skills, a player could farm solo dungeons. It was not guaranteed that the player would be able to even get one legendary item in the process. However, if luck was in the picture, all bets were off…

Luck!

This thing that could not be seen nor touched was something that everyone sought for. It seemed to have taken Drifting Snow under its wing. Someone had once made a statistic that showed that Drifting Snow would definitely get one or two ultra-rare items from the all of the games he had played. He had never once missed this streak. Never.

Once, a Pet Archer had asked the official authorities of the King of Pantheons about the probability of hatching a baby phoenix from a Mysterious Egg. As a result, the official Pantheon had given them a percentage that has so many zeroes after the decimal point that the probability has dropped to less than one in a hundred million. Literally, even if a player could get himself more than a hundred million Mysterious Eggs, he might still fail to successfully hatch a baby phoenix.

Drifting Snow was one of the early players of Pantheon and had signed up almost at the start of the region. However, his performance was always mediocre up until when he had hatched a baby phoenix. Even then, he had kept a low profile. He had only launched these surprise attacks when the baby phoenix had recently grown up completely.

On the display, the Flaming Phoenix flapped its fiery feathers and circled above the Shattered Frost City. Fire rained down on wherever it flew to.

The fire of the Flaming Phoenix was the Inextinguishable Flame, a Divine Flame that could burn for hours without burning out.

Drifting Snow did not even do anything from the start till the end. He relied entirely on the terrifying capabilities of the Flaming Phoenix and had wiped out an entire major city successfully.

The Flaming Phoenix’s HP was neither high nor low at 200,000 HP. When Drifting Snow was carrying out a city-wide massacre, countless players had attacked both the Flaming Phoenix and himself.

However, Drifting Snow was very smart. He stayed firmly above the Flaming Phoenix so that all damage taken was on the Flaming Phoenix.

Even though the Flaming Phoenix seemed to have an average level of Health, as a Legendary-level pet, it was natural for it to have its own special abilities.

The Flaming Phoenix has a passive ultimate move named Divine Protection Spell. In effect, there would be a 99% probability for the Flaming Phoenix to resurrect with a full HP whenever it died. On top of that, each successful resurrection would bring upon a temporary increase of the Phoenix’s overall strength, and its power would only drop back to normal after the battle has ended.

99% resurrection rate was so overpowered that it was breakdown-inducing. The only result that came with attacking the Flaming Phoenix was that it would endlessly resurrect itself and become stronger and stronger…

In the scene, Drifting Snow had taken out a yellow scroll from within his clothes after Shattered Frost City was completely destroyed. He disappeared after swiftly tearing the scroll.

This was also a rare item in the King of Pantheon, the Random Teleportation Scroll. It was sold only by Emperor Lan, the Southern Continent’s Camp Hero.

No wonder this guy could wipe out six major cities at once.

A wave of realization rose in Li Yi’s heart.

Without the Random Teleportation Scroll, Drifting Snow could never withstand the combined attacks of all the players that have gathered to fight against him, even with the Flaming Phoenix on his side.

“Lil’ Yi’zi, I have decided to march our army to annihilate them now!”

Jiaojiao shook her fists violently. This lady was born with a personality similar to a tiny hot pepper. She had never taken any losses from anyone aside for the occasional grievances from Li Yi.

“March our army? They had managed to destroy our major cities with just one person. Would it look great for us if we gathered a large army to carry out a massacre against them?”

Jiaojiao was slightly on edge. “What can we do then? Are we going to just take this lying down?”

Li Yi imitated Jiaojiao’s behavior to squint at her. “Queen Jiao, I feel like you alone could carry out the feat and destroy all their major cities.”

“Really? Can I really do it?” Jiaojiao was energized after hearing that.

“Yeah, you can do it… My *ss!”

Jiaojiao gave Li Yi a middle-finger salute. “Tsk, I knew that you’re just messing around with me.”

Amidst his fury, Li Yi barked out a laugh. “Do you know what flipping others off with a middle finger means? You actually dared to flip me off like that.”

“Of course it meant f*ck… you, hmph.” Jiaojiao became flushed with embarrassment when she blurted out the words. Even though she was quite a domineering character with her words, but she was still a young lady that would unavoidably become shy once in a while.

“Even if you want to f*ck me, now isn’t the time and place for it. What about tonight? I’ll let you f*ck to your heart’s content at night…” Li Yi approached Jiaojiao to say this. She became furious and gave him a powerful kick.

Li Yi dodged the kick and laughed.

“I’ll stop pulling your leg now. Give your orders to all Castellans so that they will pay close attention to protect their respective major cities. The first massacre by Drifting Snow could be considered as a result of our oversight, but if he were to do it again, the image of the Iron Alliance as a whole would be shattered to the smithereens.”

“Don’t worry, there will never be a second time. I’ve passed them the message long ago.” Jiaojiao was brimming with confidence.

Li Yi summoned the Black-feathered Golden Eagle and commanded Onyxia to sit on it. Then, he told Jiaojiao, “I’ll be going to the Northern Continent, and I can only return after the Glory dungeons were open again.”

“What are you going for?”

“Revenge!”

How could Li Yi possibly swallow the anger when someone had laid waste to six of his major cities?

When Li Yi walked towards his mount, he remembered something. “Oh right, you should give Onyxia a position first. Let her be the Great Lord General.”

The Great Lord General was a position mostly held by the key members of the Iron Alliance on a rotational basis. Confused Fox, Flower Underpants, Chen Yang, Shangguan Bailu and some other people have all taken this position before.

One sentence from Li Yi has caused Onyxia to be promoted. Now, the front of her name carried a title – Great Lord General.

System Notification: [Onyxia was appreciative towards you, her Affinity has increased by 8000 points!]

[Congratulations, Onyxia’s attitude towards you has changed to Adoration.]

Adoration!

It was just a little away from Worship. These days, Li Yi has been constantly promoting and demoting Onyxia every day, and its results on the increase in Affinity was obvious. It was indefinitely faster as compared to when he wanted to increase the Affinity of the Mermaid Princess.

With the increase of Onyxia’s Affinity towards Li Yi, her HP Regen’s speed was twice as fast as before. The increased Affinity would reduce the contract powers of the Soul’s Oath Scroll, but it was not much of a big deal because by the time the contract powers of the Scroll as completely disappeared, Onyxia’s Affinity towards Li Yi would have definitely reached Worship.

“Thank you for your great kindness, Military Advisor.” Onyxia gazed at Li Yi with appreciation.

The Black Dragons have always loved power and riches. As long as this weakness of theirs was utilized well, it would be easy to increase their Affinity.

Li Yi flew away, but the voices of anger and chaos within the Invincible Continent could not be suppressed anymore.

For a long time, the Iron Alliance was too brutally powerful that it has caused the players in the Invincible Continent to look down on players from the other two factions. Now, Drifting Snow’s abrupt assault that has wiped six major cities out in one night was an unacceptable insult to these arrogant players on the Invincible Continent.

“Son of a b*tch, let’s gather our army and kill them!”

“If the king refuses to act, we’ll go on our own. F*ck, any brothers who want to vent their anger, gather at the borders of the Abyssal Crevice!”

“Gather at the borders, and we shall bring the massacre to them!”

The Buddha lives for a column of incense, and humans live for a sigh of vindication. 2 Massacres of major cities were the most offensive thing that could happen in this game, and the dissatisfaction of many players was further elevated when their king refused to take action. Thus, many had taken the initiative to gather players for an attack.

“Do not be agitated, everyone. We will definitely avenge ourselves, but now is not the time to do so.”

A line of colorful text appeared in the National Channel. Queen Jiaojiao has spoken.

“Our Queen, lead us so that we can avenge ourselves. Who could possibly swallow this anger when we were toyed by a bunch of lowly ants?”

Jiaojiao was silent.

“Forget it, if our Queen does not have the courage to go, we’ll assemble ourselves. Brothers of the Invincible Continent, whoever that intends to seek revenge, gather at the borders!”

“Gather at the borders!”

The shouts in the National Channel was so loud that the sky seemed to shake from it.

Just when Li Yi flew out of the Invincible Continent’s map, Queen Jiao’s King’s Order was issued. On it was eight simple words.

City-wide massacre, let’s bring the killing to them!

Little hot pepper finally lost control over her temper, huh.

Li Yi shook his head helplessly and clicked on ‘Confirm’
