Chapter 704: Enemy Officer Defeated*

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Someone had gotten to his quest monster first.

And it was his archnemesis, too.

This did not look good…

Li Yi observed his surroundings and quietly leaned forward.

Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, Drifting Snow, Not Gray Wolf, Bai Xiaoya, Empyrean South the Dark God… all of the Territory Masters were here, along with the three Vice Alliance Leaders, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, Brother Simon, and the like. There were more than a hundred people here, but they looked like the Fluttering Snow Alliance’s entire elite force.

Bombarded by attacks from more than a hundred Fluttering Snow Alliance players, the green-skinned demon Ruth lost HP at an alarming rate. As a quest monster, it was not strong. Its only advantage over regular monsters was that it had more health.

However, no matter how much health Ruth had, it could not withstand attacks from over one hundred players at once. At this rate, it would definitely die within five minutes.

If someone else stole his quest monster, he would be unable to complete his quest, and then Aragon’s Affinity would plummet for sure. The costs were too much to bear. After all, Li Yi fought his way here to the Sixth Demonic Domain just to increase Aragon’s Affinity, so how could he just let it fall like that?

Li Yi summoned the Lightning Leopard and had it follow behind him as he strode forth.

“This is my quest monster, and it won’t drop a thing. If you’d be so kind, please make way.”

Most of the Fluttering Snow Alliance players stopped attacking, staring at Li Yi in stunned silence.

By now, the green-skinned demon Ruth had already lost half of its health. If the Fluttering Snow Alliance players did not stop, Li Yi would not be able to steal the kill even if he wanted to. Right now, he only had two choices: either every Fluttering Snow Alliance players had to step aside, or he had to kill every player engaged in the battle!

There was no third choice.

“F*ck you, Dark Wing, aren’t you as cocksure as ever!” Drifting Snow was the first to protest, swearing at first contact.

“Acting all bad*ss, huh? Grandpa Wolf won’t let this slide this time.” Not Gray Wolf swung his Skeleton Staff, summoning his Undead.

“What do you mean, your quest monster? Where’s your proof? F*ck, just come if you wanna steal our kill.” Faded Cloud Breeze harrumphed coldly.

“Why bother talking to him? Brothers, attack!”

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was the most impulsive. Just as Li Yi never liked him, he had never for a moment liked Li Yi.

Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s expression changed, and she seemed to want to say something, but Bai Xiaoya yanked the corner of her hem lightly, stopping her in her tracks.

“Territory—Bewitching Flute.”

Bai Xiaoya played her flute, releasing her Territory Skill.

The soundwaves spread like ripples, and any party member who heard the music had their attributes increase by 10%. Any enemies who heard it, however, had their ATK SPD and SPD halved.

The alleged halving of ATK SPD and SPD was just a base value. In actuality, the final reduction rate depended on the user’s Territory Level and their Holy count, as well as their opponent’s corresponding values.

If the opponent did not have a Territory or any Holy Equipment, the effect of the Bewitching Flute would reach 90%.

This Sky Vagabond Territory Skill was very powerful. As long as the flute never stopped playing, these effects would persist.

The Bewitching Flute enveloped Li Yi’s body with a faint green glow, a sign that the skill was taking effect.

The Fluttering Snow Alliance players spread out and surrounded Li Yi.

“Rawr— Rawr—”

The green-skinned demon, Ruth, did not like to be ignored, so it instantly killed another Fluttering Snow Alliance player.

If they encountered danger, quest monsters might escape before the quest holder arrived. Once the quest holder was on the scene, however, the quest monster would no longer escape and would instead fight till its death.

“Gust, Battle Worm, you two go tank Ruth.”

Bai Xiaoya was playing her flute so she could not speak and had to resort to typing out commands.

Two of the Fluttering Snow Alliance’s powerful main tanks, Gust and Battle Worm, used Charge to approach Ruth, keeping a tight hold on its aggro.

Li Yi was still walking toward them, one step at a time. He did not even release his Territory barrier, relying on his Holy +27 to reduce the effects of Bai Xiaoya’s Bewitching Flute to less than 3%.

“Be careful, everyone! Other than the melee classes, no one get to close to him. Make sure you can get out of his Territory barrier’s range at any given time!” Bai Xiaoya typed rapidly.

The Fluttering Snow Alliance players spread out, all the ranged attackers retreating and maintaining their distance from him in case he suddenly released his Territory barrier.

If a player did not want to be manipulated like a toy at the hands of Territory Masters, the only way was to not enter the range of their Territories.

“Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!”

Several silhouettes dashed toward him. All of the Fluttering Snow Alliance’s melee fighters had used Charge in unison.

“God Mode!

“Shoot at Random!”

Li Yi’s body shone golden and he sent several hundred arrows flying everywhere.

It took all of his mana, but each arrow dealt more than 100,000 in damage!

Every single melee attacker who had charged at him collapsed to the floor.

“Glurg…”

Downing a Sacred Hope Potion restored 30% of Li Yi’s mana.

“Territory Release!”

He activated the barrier, and every attack that entered its range slowed down to the point of stopping. At the same time, the Territory light barrier continued to expand to 30 square yards, 50 square yards, 60 square yards, 70…

Li Yi’s Territory barrier covered 70 square yards, enveloping every Fluttering Snow Alliance member present!

Bai Xiaoya’s flute stopped playing because the flute stayed motionless on her delicate little mouth. Although she had learned a Territory as well, her Territory was nowhere near Li Yi’s. Add the Holy attribute’s influence to the mix, and she was no different from any other regular player in Li Yi’s Territory barrier.

How could that be? Since when had his Territory become so strong?

Bai Xiaoya was so shocked that her mouth fell open.

In order to avoid Li Yi’s Territory barrier, Bai Xiaoya had made preparations well ahead, ordering everyone to stay away from him. However, she had not expected Li Yi’s Territory barrier to expand up to 70 square yards.

The other Territory Master, Drifting Snow, was in the same boat. Trapped in Li Yi’s Territory, he drew his bow but stayed there frozen like a statue.

“Whizz-whizz-whizz-whizz—”

The Lightning Leopard began to move. In Li Yi’s Territory barrier, it moved as quickly as lightning. The Holy attribute increased one’s own attributes, but it even enhanced one’s pets as well.

“Pfft pfft pfft pfft…”

The Lightning Leopard scratched repeatedly, dealing about 4,000 points in damage each time. It attacked extremely frequently, killing more than ten players within a mere dozen seconds.

Right now, the only one who could still move inside Li Yi’s Territory barrier was Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, but compared to before, her movements were much slower as well. She ran as though she carried a ton on her back, and every action seemed to be a heavy burden.

“Overlord Arrow!”

Li Yi attacked, but instead of using Shoot at Random, he went straight for his strongest Overlord Arrow.

Many players were stuck in the middle of casting a spell in his Territory barrier, so his shooting an Overlord Arrow meant that it was guaranteed to result in an Interruption.

[Interrupt! Interrupt!]

[Critical Hit! Critical Hit!]

The shockwave exploded in an instant!

[−164322]

[−164322]

The addition of 27 Holy points meant that Li Yi’s ATK was even higher now. After he unleashed seven Overlord Arrows, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut was the only left standing from among the hundred Fluttering Snow Alliance players. Even the several Territory Masters had been laid flat.

He had killed a hundred in an instant!

Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s body was covered in a gold-colored aura, her hair and clothes billowing despite the lack of a breeze. The decelerating effect of the Territory barrier vanished temporarily, and she instantly dashed up to Li Yi, smashing her fist at him.

“Whizz—”

Li Yi did not move, but he suddenly teleported behind her Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut and unleashed an arrow at her.

In his own Territory barrier, Li Yi could accelerate or decelerate his opponent’s actions, but he could also do the same for his own. The only price he had to pay was the rapid consumption of his Territory Power.

With Li Yi’s current Territory Level and his 27 Holy attribute points, he could ‘teleport’ within his Territory barrier 11 times. In the past, he could only manage 5 at most. That just went to show what an effect the Holy attribute had on Territories.

Of course, if Li Yi could use Queen Jiao’s orange-quality Sinful Ring, he would be able to teleport more than 25 times in his Territory barrier even without the 27 Holy points.

The Orange Quality Ring added one Territory Level, and that was ridiculously strong.

Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut turned around and countered his attack, shattering the arrow with a punch.

As Li Yi and Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut were fighting, the players who had Resurrection Talismans on them kept resurrecting but faced with the strongest corpse-camping pet, the Lightning Leopard, they did not even have the right to stand. Anyone who tried would definitely die within 3 seconds.

Yes, the Lightning Leopard only dealt about 4,000 points in damage every time it attacked, but its attack speeds were crazy fast, and it was one of those legendary dual wielders too. (When attacking normally, it could attack twice.) It was the perfect pet for camping corpses.

With the Lightning Leopard on guard duty, no one could get up. Those who used trashy Resurrection Talismans were taken down straight away, but the end result was no different for those who used Advanced-level Resurrection Talismans. The only change was that they would live forever so slightly longer.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was the worst off, He had used an Advanced-level Resurrection Talisman, which meant his health was full as soon as he stood. Even so, he could not hold on very long. Whenever he dared to stand, the Lightning Leopard would definitely dart right up to him and unleash a Finishing Blow.

It seemed as though the leopard did not like the people its master detested either.

Half-crouching, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut smashed a fist into the ground.

“Earth-splitting Sand Burst!”

Her golden fist smashed down, and the ground immediately began to crack like a web stretching out in all directions.

“Barroom!”

As though it was hit by an atomic bomb, the cracked earth began to explode upward.

Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s Earth-splitting Sand Burst attack had a very wide range. Although it was not as exaggerated as Li Yi’s 70-yard Territory, it easily covered 30 square yards.

Li Yi’s body did not move, but he continued to teleport, casually avoiding the Earth-splitting Sand Burst.

Having teleported twice in a row in addition to his previous consumption, Li Yi only had half of his Territory Power left now. Watching Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, who grew bolder as the battle dragged on, he knew that he must not lengthen this fight any longer.

“Territory Acceleration!”

Li Yi snapped his fingers at Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut and burned through his Territory Power quickly, going straight up against Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s Territory Power.

Burning up one’s Territory Power meant that the enemy had to reciprocate with their own. Li Yi’s plan was simple; he wanted to burn clean through Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s Territory Power.

“Whish-whish—”

The gold-colored aura around Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s body faded at an alarming rate and was all gone after three seconds.

It worked!

Overjoyed, Li Yi raised his arm to shoot an arrow.

“Armor Strip!”

‘Let’s see how you shatter my arrow without your Territory.’

Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut swung her fist at the arrow, but when Li Yi’s arrow hit her fist, it dealt [−9766] in damage.

“Smack!”

As a result of the Armor Strip, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s top and body armor vanished instantly, revealing a pale blue bra underneath…

The Armor Strip worked!
