Chapter 938: Battlefield King

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although the final boss went down quite smoothly, requiring only one attempt, Li Yi and the others did not have particularly good luck. The Winged Ruler only dropped three staffs and a bunch of materials, so aside from the Wizards, no one else obtained anything of use.

Li Yi was not the one who looted the corpse, either. It was Jiaojiao.

Even Lil Chili was starting to get unlucky.

Now that they had successfully cleared the entire dungeon, Li Yi declared the party dismissed.

Their second test was over, and the two parties had a point each.

The third test was put on hold, because the third round of the God Wars Competition had begun.

Neo Platinum Hand was formed just for PvE, so outside of that, their leader Li Yi would not restrict anyone’s movements. Besides, winning the God Wars Competition meant achieving the highest level of PvP skills in King of Pantheon. Now that the new arena was open, everyone naturally prioritized PvP.

Li Yi had not performed very well in the second round of the God Wars Competition either, so his position in the God Wars Rankings had plummeted as well.

He was now in 76th place. Compared to his previous life, this rank was not too high nor too low.

The player at the top of the God Wars Rankings now was Amber Sword Heart. Although he was no match for Li Yi in this event, his Heavenly Favor point tally was extremely high. In fact, he was in second place now, second only to Hua Feihua.

As for the person in second place on the God Wars Rankings, Li Yi did not quite know what to say. After all, in a battle of power, he could easily kill them without even lifting a finger.

The person in second place was none other than silly Sister Windcloud Nine.

In third was a Thief who had obscured their name.

Fourth was Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut.

Fifth was Little Elf from the Magical Realm.

Of the top fifty players in the World Rankings, more than twenty of them were from the original Little Drunk Cat Guild.

The third round of the God Wars Competition was called Bounty Hunt. Like before, players had to register with Jewelfina and pay 1 Silver Coin in order to enter the Battlefield. Each Battlefield consisted of ten thousand players, and the Battlefields would be open for specific periods of time. Each time they opened, they would stay open for three hours, spawning all sorts of powerful bosses.

Every time a player killed a boss, the system would award points according to the color of the boss’ name. When the Battlefield closed, the system would total up their individual scores and determine the Battlefield rankings.

Players inside the Battlefield could PK freely, and after they died, they could resurrect for free three times. Once that was done, they would be forcefully teleported out of the Battlefield.

The third round’s rules seemed simple, but there were many types of techniques involved.

Li Yi dismissed his party and then rushed over to sign up. After a five-minute wait, he was teleported into the Battlefield.

“Raaaaah—”

This Battlefield looked like some plains. At a glance, he saw bosses with differently-colored names appear, one after another. There was no end to them, almost like the giant ants of the Giant Ant Plain.

With so many bosses present, it was not practical to go head-to-head against them at all. Others aside, even Li Yi did not dare to charge in carelessly.

“Swoosh-swoosh-swoosh-swoosh—”

There were players streaming in constantly, and every ten thousand players made one Battlefield. In here, he would have to deal with the countless bosses and worse still, the even more vicious players.

It was fine when there were fewer players, but once they started to pile up, there would always be a few stupid ones who charged fearlessly right into the herd of bosses.

A small fireball flew at the bosses, and in that instant, even the earth began to shake. More bosses than Li Yi could even count were rushing straight at the players’ Safe Zone…

“Roar—”

“Grr—”

“Bam bam bam!”

The terrifying attacks rained down, one after another, but there were bosses charging at them than there were giant ants on Giant Ant Plain. How could they possibly win?

In merely an instant, several thousand players had been taken out.

Li Yi shot as he retreated. There was no way to face the boss army head-on. Although he did not wish to do this, he had no choice now that things had come to this.

“Motherf*cker, which f*cking idiot launched that attack?”

“F*ck you…”

“There goes another Silver Coin.”

“F*ckers, y’all need a good f*cking up the *ss!”

The bosses ahead were on them now, and the players at the back panicked. They began to cast skills amidst the crowd, taking advantage of the chaos to slip away.

There was no way to control the system reward of three free resurrections. As soon as a player died, they would be forced to instantly resurrect in the Safe Zone. Now that there were thousands of bosses stampeding here, they would resurrect only to die again. That was why it was not too bad of an idea to kill these players who were in the way, increasing their space for maneuvering upon resurrection.

Li Yi shot dead a gold-named boss, and two points were added to the tally above his head. Just then, their internal strife exploded in full force.

He could not kill bosses anymore, because every player around him had gone berserk, killing everyone in sight.

“Territory Release!”

Li Yi released his Territory at full force, running away with long strides.

There was plenty of space to move around the edges of the Safe Zone. If he wanted to escape from the bosses, he stood the best chance over there.

Whenever the players’ attacks entered within the range of Li Yi’s Territory, they slowed down to the point of stopping. Any player who found themselves in the Chrono Territory could not move.

While Li Yi’s Chrono Territory did not have much of an effect on the bosses, it was still more than enough to freeze the players in place.

Li Yi ran straight to the edges of the Safe Zone. This was the border of the map, so he had nowhere else to run.

The players who were chased by the bosses ahead were all retreating this way too.

“True Overlord Arrow!”

Li Yi attacked as well. However, his target was not the bosses but the players.

In such an emergency, one less competitor meant one more ray of hope.

The players who had been killed by the bosses earlier resurrected in the Safe Zone instantly, before they were then killed instantly, only to instantly resurrect again. After three rounds of that, their Equipment Durability dropped to zero, and they were forced out of the area.

Within three short minutes, more than half of the players here had died.

“True Overlord Arrow!”

“Swoosh!”

The Flaming Phoenix surged forth, and nearly a thousand players died by Li Yi’s arrows.

 The most important thing right now was to grab as much space as possible. Matters like whether he knew these players or if they were on the same side were completely negligible.

By the time the bosses were almost at the edge, there were fewer than a hundred players left alive in the Safe Zone.

 “Bathump!”

When Li Yi saw that there was no one around him, he immediately used Pseudocide and lay flat on the ground.

Of the remaining hundred players, some died while others used their classes’ specialties to hide, just like Li Yi had.

“Rooaar—”

“Arooo—”

The bosses wandered around the Safe Zone for a while before they slowly lumbered back to where they started.

Li Yi got up from the ground and heaved a sigh of relief.

He was safe for now.

“There is no need to kill each other, comrades. We must combine our strengths.”

A Thief appeared not too far away from Li Yi, waving his arms as he roared at everyone around him.

Everywhere, players who had faked their deaths began to stand up in twos and threes, turning their gazes toward the Thief.

For some reason, everyone did hold their fire.

“As far as I know, there are four Safe Zones in total here. Each Safe Zone can hold 2,500 people. Comrades, if we kill each other here, the other three Safe Zones will only take advantage of our chaos. That is why I suggest that we first form a party and kill the bosses together, gathering as many points as we can.”

“Sure, as you say.”

“Let’s form a party!”

The Thief was quite persuasive, and the scattered players actually managed to unite as one, at least temporarily.

The Thief started a party and added the surviving players in the Safe Zone.

More than two thousand players had died, and only slightly over a hundred survived.

When the Thief invited Li Yi into the party, Li Yi rejected him.

“It’s you!”

The Thief took a look at Li Yi and instantly roared out loud.

Enemies were truly fated to meet. The Thief before Li Yi now was none other than the player in the 35th place of the God Wars Rankings in the past life. He was Blue-Blooded God, a Vice Alliance Leader from the God Creator Guild and someone whose boss Li Yi had once stolen.

Blue-Blooded God waved the twin blades in his hands, roaring at his newly-formed party, “Comrades, Dark Wing is my enemy. He doesn’t want to join our party, so what do you think we should do?”

“Kill him!”

More than a hundred players yelled in unison, forming quite the force.

“God Mode!”

“Territory Release!”

Li Yi had long since been prepared for this. The moment Blue-Blooded God yelled out, he released his Chrono Territory.

His extremely powerful Rank 19 Territory covered 150 yards, and Blue-Blooded God’s party of a hundred was enveloped in it.

“Squeak!”

“True Overlord Arrow!”

Li Yi summoned Dolly, and together with Li Yi’s True Overlord Arrow, they began to slaughter the players frozen in the Chrono Territory.

One, two, three, four…

Only a handful of players could even move in Li Yi’s powerful Rank 18 Territory.

The hundred-odd players collapsed as one,

However, the Thief in the lead, Blue-Blooded God, had vanished.

By the time Li Yi had cleared all of the hundred players and used his Divine Sensory, he could not find any trace of Blue-Blooded God anywhere.

The latter had not died, however. He had run away.

“Where did he go?”

Li Yi frowned slightly and looked around for a while before he walked toward the herd of bosses, Orange Quality Bow in hand.

He was the only surviving player in the Safe Zone. Now that he did not have to worry about any ambushes from behind, he could focus on defeating the bosses.

“Smack! Smack!”

Li Yi cast Mislead on Dolly and aimed at a purple-named boss, a Violent Earth Bear that had wandered away from the pack. After he unleashed two Meteor Arrows, he used Pseudocide and lay on the ground.

“Rooaar–”

The Violent Earth Bear rushed at them, roaring. With a Berserk Charge, it turned Dolly right back into an egg.

“Smack! Smack!”

Li Yi leaped up and shot as he retreated.

He had too few fighters on his side, which meant he could not challenge the tide of bosses head-on. In that case, all he could do was pull them one by one, killing them gradually.

The Violent Earth Bear had extremely high ATK, but its movements were very slow. Li Yi released his Territory at full power, reducing its SPD even further. That was why he only had to kite it for 3 minutes before he managed to kill it.

“Ding!”

After he killed the Violent Earth Bear, the number above Li Yi’s head became 6.

A gold-named boss was worth 2 points, whereas a purple-named boss counted for 4 points.

Li Yi continued to cast Mislead on Dolly, shooting at the bosses that had wandered from the pack.

He was not interested in the gold-named bosses, aiming only at the purple-named bosses.

After some rinsing and repeating, more than twenty minutes later, the point tally above Li Yi’s head read 32.

A glance at the Battlefield point rankings told Li Yi that he was now in first place. If he kept this up, he would top this Battlefield.

“Smack! Smack! Smack!”

This time, Li Yi pulled two purple-named bosses at once.

Dolly’s body shone with white light. All those deaths had strengthened her, and now it would not be easy for bosses to kill this little thing.

Dealing with two purple-named bosses at the same time came with a great deal of pressure. Li Yi leaped up and down, darting left and right, and struggled for more than four minutes before he could kill the two bosses.

After that, Li Yi sat cross-legged on the floor.

It had taken too much out of him, so he had to recover for a while.

Just as Li Yi was sitting on the ground and catching his breath, two flashes of bright white blade gleams appeared behind him, aiming straight for the back of his head…

“Pfft! Pfft!”
