Chapter 798: The Mountain’s Identity

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

For the first phase of the fight, the statues came to life one by one. Li Yi single-handedly killed all twenty-four bosses without needing The Mountain’s help.

Level 176, 1001 Holy Attribute, 550 thousand HP, and 170 thousand base ATK were Li Yi’s current stats.

“This doesn’t make sense...”

With each successful kill, The Mountain would remark that it did not make any sense. After the final boss, the Sword of Kannon, Bahanuq’s death, there was no point shouting anymore. The Mountain simply gawked at Li Yi, speechless for a long time.

Li Yi smiled. “It makes sense. These bosses may seem stronger, but they aren’t actually stronger than in their individual dungeons.”

The Mountain shook his head...

“The will of the Ancient Kings will not be shaken. Awaken and descend upon this world to conquer!”

As the raging howl echoed the hall, all twenty-four statues resurrected. A grim expression appeared on Li Yi’s face.

This segment was called the Meeting of Kings. It would be hard to fight against twenty-four bosses simultaneously.

Clang! Clang!

A golden Territory was swiftly released by all twenty-four kings combined, enveloping the entire hall.

Although Li Yi resisted with his Territory, the combined power of the twenty-four kings suppressed his Territory. All he could do was cover his body with his Territory to protect himself.

If Li Yi was not proficient in Territory, he would be under the control of the kings, becoming their servant.

The Mountain released his Territory as well. Like Li Yi, his Territory stuck to the surface of his body. The only reason they unleashed their Territory was to protect their minds from being influenced.

Unlike Li Yi’s golden Territory, The Mountain’s Territory was white.

“Do you need my help?”

“It’s up to you.”

Li Yi summoned Alleria and Violent Bear King to be the first line of defense while he initiated True Overlord Arrow, rapidly firing ahead.

With all twenty-four king statues reviving, it was necessary to reduce their HP to zero to clear this segment.

Tst tst tst —

The Flaming Phoenix charged fiercely, pushing all two dozen kings back.

With the kings’ barrier in the way, it affected Li Yi’s ATK SPD and True Overlord Arrow’s push back effect. After three arrows, the kings’ enhanced SPD caused the push back effect to be ineffective.

Li Yi started to move back while Alleria activated Shield to pull the kings’ aggro.

“Swamp King!”

The Mountain raised his Orange Quality Quarterstaff, prompting two black dots to appear on the ground. The two dots quickly spread out and became two Swamp Kings.

Summoning an additional summon beast was the special effect of the Exorcist’s Admonishing Quarterstaff.

The two Swamp Kings overlapped each other and slowly expanded outwards. Upon reaching the kings, it succeeded in lowering their SPD.

The Swamp Kings may not cause any damage to the kings but the effect of lowering their SPD helped, buying time for Li Yi to unleash True Overlord Arrows.

Violent Bear King went down. At its current level, it was not fit for battle as the Frost Emperor’s gentle stab took over 900 thousand HP, slaughtering it in one move.

In contrast to the weak Violent Bear King, Alleria was holding up strong. Her attribute rose due to Li Yi’s level up. Her HP was now over 1.5 million and with Orange Quality Shield’s protection, she could withstand the kings’ siege for some time.

Li Yi could single-handedly kill al twenty-four kings with his mighty ATK as long as Alleria and The Mountain provided him with enough opportunities to attack.

After some thirty arrows, a king finally collapsed. However, the fallen king immediately stood up and was revived.

The twenty-four kings would not experience true death before the final boss was killed. Li Yi’s current priority was to kill them all once to lure out the final boss.

Li Yi made a note of which kings he had already killed once to prevent another accidental kill as, after each death, the corresponding king’s attributes would rise by 10%.

As more kings were killed, Li Yi stopped using True Overlord Arrow and opted for Stinger Arrow and Meteor Arrow for single kills.

In this segment, Alleria and The Mountain’s double Swamp Kings played a crucial part. Moreover, The Mountain started to make his move.

“Bp! Bp! Bp!”

The Mountain used the weakest skill in the history of King of Pantheon, Soul Staff Technique, and lashed at the emperors, its damage rose with each hit. The first few hits only dealt several thousand damage, but the subsequent hits were in the tens of millions range.

Li Yi asked, “What special skill are you using?”

“This isn’t a special skill. It’s a special effect of the Orange Quality Quarterstaff, Aggro Punishment. Soul Staff Technique’s damage increases the more aggro I have. It’s a shame that players don’t have aggro or I’d be unstoppable”

“...”

Li Yi finally understood why The Mountain only managed to deal one damage when he was hit by Soul Staff Technique but dealt tens of millions in damage to monsters.

The higher the aggro, the more powerful the ATK. Aggro Punishment was ineffective on players because players did not have aggro.

The Mountain’s eyes were fixated on Alleria as he took a big gulp in. He asked Li Yi, “I want to ask you, where did you get your pet from?”

“Foreignland, the Traitor’s Alliance near Sin City. If you work to get the alliance member’s Affinity, you can get a pet like this.”

The Mountain wiped his mouth and nodded forcefully. His glaring revealed that he intended to get a similar pet for himself.

“Hired mercenaries are not for player battles and can only be used for fighting monsters. Also, they can’t be summoned in group dungeons unless the number of players does not meet the requirement.”

“Thanks.”

Li Yi and The Mountain continued to kill the kings individually and soon, all twenty-four kings had died once.

“I’ll kite these twenty-four monsters, it’s all up to you now for the final boss.”

“No problem.” The Mountain raised the Orange Quality Quarterstaff in his hand.

The twenty-four kings stopped moving at the sound of a peculiar incantation coming from the center of the hall. A dark figure slowly rose from the ground, stopping in midair.

Li Yi found the time to ask, “What’s your relationship with Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut?”

The Mountain had a dour expression on his face. “Lovers.”

“Why are you still helping me? I’ve killed Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut many times.”

The Mountain flashed a bitter smile. “I came because of Cat’s orders.”

“Why help Scumbag Wang then?”

“I was their boss.”

“You’re Huashan’s boss?” Li Yi stared at The Mountain in shock.

The Mountain shrugged. “Cat disbanded the guild so I built a new one. I never expected Cat wasn’t pissed off. Instead, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut misinterpreted my intentions. Sigh, she thinks I can’t forget Cat. I’m at a crossroads, Brother. I have nothing but respect for Cat and have no intentions towards her.”

“Uh huh...” Li Yi nodded in agreement.

The Mountain sighed again. “Lil Wang may be an idiot sometimes but he’s all about loyalty. Him joining you puts me at ease.”

Li Yi did not add on this time. He was curious why the legendary Huashan Boss’s took in a bunch of idiots.

Before the final boss made its appearance, Li Yi finally had the chance to witness the actions of the legendary Huashan Boss.

He saw The Mountain running towards Alleria and checked her out from head to toe before using his Orange Quality Quarterstaff to poke at Alleria’s dainty mouth.

“She seems like a real person. I wonder what she feels like.”

“Clang! Clang!”

The Mountain’s Orange Quality Quarterstaff had not yet touched Alleria when she flew into a rage. She slammed her Orange Quality Shield into him twice, sending him flying dozens of meters across the room.

“What, what brute force...” The Mountain lay on the ground motionlessly.

This person was kind of an idiot.

Li Yi realized why he took in a bunch of dimwits like Scumbag Wang.

“With the blessing of the Ancient Pantheon, he who holds the Emperor Sword shall become Emperor of this land and rule the world...”

The dark figure suspended in the air began to chant. The radiance surrounding it intensified as countless black threads flowed from the twenty-four kings towards it.

“Revive, oh souls of ancient kings. Under my command, you shall rule this land!”

The dark figure raised its voice. The twenty-four kings began to turn black and they opened their blood-shot eyes. The group had once again been resurrected.

The face of the dark figure was revealed. Its name was Dark Emperor, Prado. There was a word in small font next to its name, Manipulator.

Manipulator was another class lost in King of Pantheon. The class was older than Blademaster and God-chastised Paladin and had disappeared from this world long before the beginning of the God Wars.

The reason for the disappearance of the Manipulators was simple. Players proficient in Archeology and had dug in the Ancient Ruins would know that the extinction of the Manipulators was due to a brazen Manipulator. The Manipulator had used a god’s corpse as a puppet, violating the dignity of the gods. This act had driven the gods to personally destroy the Manipulator class.

The Dark Emperor, Prado was the very Manipulator who had turned a god’s corpse into a puppet.

This dungeon revealed the truth behind the mystery of the Ancient Kings return. The Dark Emperor, Prado had been pulling the strings.

The Dark Emperor, Prado’s body was engulfed by dark light. It used black threads to control the twenty-four kings in battle.

“I’ll kite these monsters; you take care of Prado!”

Li Yi took large strides ahead, heading towards the twenty-four kings and releasing his golden Territory.

Before the kings could make their move, an astonishing event made Li Yi’s head turn. The Mountain did not use the Level 98 skill. Instead, he activated his Territory Skill!

“Territory — Natural Emulation!”

A white beam shot from the Orange Quality Quarterstaff and headed towards the Dark Emperor, Prado...
