Chapter 709: Sun Piercing Arrow

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Somewhere in an open area of the Demonic Forest, Tyrant Sword King the Fifth sat with an Earth Vagabond dressed in silver armor.

“Will Dark Wing come?” Tyrant Sword King the Fifth looked around and asked.

“He will.” The Vagabond in silver armor sniggered.

“Alright…”

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth nodded and continued to look around.

Li Yi hid in the shadows and observed.

It was expected that Tyrant Sword King the Fifth would be rescued, but what was not expected was the presence of the Vagabond in silver armor.

The first King of the Southern Continent in this life, the Guild Master of Assembled Gods, Milky Way Star!

Milky Way Star was as unostentatious as he was in the past life. He managed to take the throne but quietly abdicated within a few days, leaving the royal seat of the Celestial Capital vacant.

After his abdication, Milky Way Star withdrew from public life. Few people knew of his whereabouts, even his short reign had been overlooked by many.

Was he the one that had saved Tyrant Sword King the Fifth?

Li Yi observed the duo with incredulity.

Of all the Earth Vagabonds, only three were publicly lauded. ‘Out of Print’ of the East, ‘Up Down Up Down Punch’ of the West, and ‘Milky Way Star’ of the South’. Each continent had its own powerhouse, and the names mentioned were endorsed by all camps within the continents.

Which one of them was the mightiest had always been a point of contention. Out of Print focused in defense as a main tank. Up Down Up Down Punch picked a balanced route, excelling in both offense and defense. His defense was deemed to be weaker than Out of Print in a real fight, while his attack power was slightly superior.

Milky Way Star was more mysterious because he was rarely seen, however, there were various rumors about him. He could both attack and defend, there were also accounts of him releasing Windblades implying that he is capable of casting Sky Vagabond exclusive spells.

Out of Print and Up Down Up Down Punch battled four times, both won twice. It was a draw.

Milky Way Star had not fought either of them. Li Yi only knew that he bested Bloody Rose, the Heroine of Justice, after challenging her to a duel.

Bloody Rose withdrew from the game in this life, but not in the past life. As one of the three Gods of Massacre of the Thieves, she was not to be underestimated. Her personality led her to claim the heads of countless celebrities. Her rival, Hostile Mutilation, otherwise known as the Untraceable God of Death, was no exception, ambushed and murdered in various situations.

In his past life, Milky Way Star was one of the few people who could beat Bloody Rose. Although Li Yi had not crossed swords with him, he had heard a lot about him, hence his knowledge.

A player who dared to enter the Sixth Demonic Domain would not be weak.

Li Yi did not plan an ambush because he was curious. He could not figure out how Milky Way Star killed those monsters so quickly.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth had leveled up in such a short time. Li Yi had been tracking him for approximately an hour, and not a single monster had been seen in the vicinity. According to his estimation, their kill count had to be forty or more.

They killed more than forty demonic monsterlings in an hour. Li Yi would have taken at least five or six hours to do the same.

Was Milky Way Star that strong? Even if he was, how did he do it?

Li Yi kept laying low and silently examined the two.

“How long do we have to wait?”

“Soon.”

“Will Dark Wing really come?”

“We’ll see.”

Li Yi could not extract any valuable information from their mumbo jumbo.

He waited for more than twenty minutes. They remained seated in the same place, with no intention to leave.

Damn, why don’t they go fight monsters?

Li Yi grew impatient of waiting for the pair of them as he was unaware of what they were planning to do.

He quietly left to look for nearby demonic monsterlings.

If they were unwilling to move, he would make them.

Li Yi was lucky. He had planned to lure a demonic monsterling but ran into a Bull Demon Priest wielding a staff.

Like the twelve Demon Generals at the Foreignland entrance but slightly superior in status, the Bull Demon Priest was a purple-named boss. Its strength, however, was not simply slightly superior but was multiple times stronger. The reason was simple, this thing was a spellcaster, capable of inflicting substantial amounts of damage.

Zap!

An Electric Serpent was discharged from the Bull Demon Priest’s staff, heading towards Li Yi.

The Electric Serpent had an effective range of thirty yards. The movement of the Bull Demon Priest would not interrupt the Electric Serpent in the unrelenting pursuit of its target.

The Bull Demon Priest’s magic attack was incredible. Li Yi would not be able to survive for more than five seconds if he were hit by an Electric Serpent. Without the Sixth Piece of the Sacramental Stone Fragment he acquired earlier, he would perish in one second.

Fortunately, Li Yi had a Divine Bow, the Wrath of the Stars. Its extra shooting range kept Li Yi safe and out of the Serpent’s reach.

Li Yi lured the Bull Demon Priest to the open area, entered Camouflage Mode and then Pseudocided.

The Bull Demon Priest lost its target. Putting away its staff, its green eyes hunting for prey.

Near them was where Tyrant Sword King the Fifth and Milky Way Star were. Li Yi lured the monster to exactly where it was supposed to be without anyone being alerted as to his presence.

They did not expect monsters in this area. They were oblivious until an Electric Serpent came hurtling towards Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.

He turned around and an Electric Serpent struck his midriff. He was paralyzed upon impact. The HP bar above his head reduced to nothing within three seconds.

Tyrant Sword King the Fifth fell on his back. Milky Way Star activated the Rocket Propellant beneath his feet to escape the Electric Serpent.

Like Li Yi, Milky Way Star was also an Engineering whiz.

Milky Way Star took out a longbow and fired twice at the Priest.

Wham!

[-67553]

[-55678]

The damage dealt was not too shabby, but insufficient to slay forty demonic monsterlings in an hour.

Li Yi hid in the shadows and watched intently; his doubts grew ever deeper.

A Vagabond was considered a Renaissance man. Charging, healing, crowd control, instant damage, essentially all-powerful. However, there was a fatal flaw— Jack of all trades, master in none.

Compared to an Archer, a Mount Vagabond, trained to level 100, knowing only two Archer Skills, Flying Feather Arrow and Sun Piercing Arrow.

Flying Feather Arrow was a carbon copy of Crippling Shot. The only difference is that it was weaker. Sun Piercing Arrow, on the other hand, imitated Chain Arrow. The good news was that the imitation had a shorter Skill Cooldown time than the original. The bad news? It was heavily taxing on mana points.

Milky Way Star was using Sun Piercing Arrows, every time he did, his mana was reduced by one-tenth.

Wham! Wham!

Milky Way Star continued, and the Bull Demon Priest ran roaring towards him.

Milky Way Star’s attack range was limited. However, his class specialized on light equipment, therefore he had immense flexibility. He relied on good positioning and evaded the Electric Serpent with ease.

Milky Way Star led the Bull Demon Priest away. Li Yi did not follow and stayed near Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s body. For now, he had achieved his goal. He was not interested with Milky Way Star. It was what would happen to Tyrant Sword King the Fifth that he most eagerly anticipated.

Li Yi, however, was soon disappointed.

Milky Way Star returned safe and sound. He took out his Cardiac Pacemaker Model V1 and defibrillated Tyrant Sword King the Fifth. Li Yi was unsure whether fortune smiled or if Milky Way Star’s Engineering skill was extraordinary, but the execrable and most godawful pacemaker actually succeeded in its purpose.

Not just that, Milky Way Star’s ensuing actions surprised Li Yi.

Milky Way Star took out a purple ring and handed it to Tyrant Sword King the Fifth. “Here, dropped by that priest. It increases your Holy attribute by four and physical attack by eight hundred, you can have it.” he beamed.

“Haha, much obliged!” Tyrant Sword King the Fifth was elated. He wore it the second he got it. This served as a fine replacement for the purple ring Li Yi destroyed earlier.

“This is even better than the last one.” A ring which increases the Holy attribute! Tyrant Sword King the Fifth’s face was bursting with delight.

His face contrasted with Li Yi’s, who was dumbfounded from the course of events.

How did Milky Way Star take out that monster within twenty minutes?

Damn, I should’ve followed him! He thought.

Li Yi felt regret.

Nevertheless, he missed the boat. With Tyrant Sword King the Fifth coming back, his plans were left in ruins.

The duo sat together and conversed. It did not seem like they would leave this place for a while.

Damn, I will get to the bottom of this!

Li Yi raged, left Camouflage Mode, and went further away into the woods.

Half an hour later, Li Yi returned with three purple-named bosses.

The Demon Fox Priest, the Demon Wolf Priest, and the Demon Rat Priest.

Li Yi was at the forefront as the three bosses gave chase. It was not until Li Yi entered into Camouflage Mode and Pseudocided again that the three bosses stopped.

The three of them paused, and the next thing they did was slam their staves on the spot where Li Yi vanished.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After a few spells, Li Yi was six feet under.

A prank gone wrong.
