Chapter 751: Heroic Challenge

The panda monk pulled a jar of wine out of nowhere, held it up and drank all of its contents.

“Kill the invaders!”

“It’s the vile panda again!”

“Kill him, kill him!”

More than a thousand demons rushed out of the entrance of the Sin City and surrounded the monk.

“Burp!”

The monk let out an indecent belch as he stood on one leg. His body leaned forward and slammed straight to the ground.

The demons jumped back in surprise. The monk was snoring, drunk and fast asleep currently.

“Kill him!”

The demons were infuriated and threw spells towards the monk.

“Nnneeaoowww…”

A small metal-clad aircraft whizzed overhead, and Lady Barbara the Great Engineer could be seen in the cockpit.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The bombs descended like a torrential storm and the crowd of demons scattered.

The monk was still asleep. Li Yi hid under a pumice stone nearby to watch.

As Barbara was carrying out her tactical bombings, Li Yi was notified that he had completed his quest.

Killing a thousand demons for the third time turned out to be a piece of cake!

Demonic hordes continuously poured out of Sin City’s entrance. Barbara picked up Li Yi and the monk before she headed to the Defiants’ Home.

Unlike his last two visits, Li Yi’s arrival was well-received by all NPCs. Even the mysterious chief who had never appeared turned up in a black robe.

Li Yi was acknowledged by the mysterious chief and was officially made a member of the Defiants’ Confederation.

Alleria led Li Yi to familiarize himself with the Home after seeking permission from the mysterious chief.

Li Yi wandered around to mingle and increase his Affinity with NPCs while keeping up with Alleria. He finally learned the Superior Transformation Spell from the mysterious chief.

The Superior Transformation Spell was only functional inside Foreignland. Its effect was similar to taking a Morphing Potion but much better. The caster could keep his or her morphed state as long as he or she willed it to be within the boundaries of Foreignland.

If Li Yi skipped those three tasks, he would instead learn the Lesser Transformation Spell from Alleria after he was expelled for the second time. Compared to its superior counterpart, the Lesser Transformation Spell required a lot of materials and would be extremely costly in the long run.

“Human, thank you for speaking on my behalf.” Alleria kept her head down.

Ding!

[Alleria’s affinity with you has increased to Worship!]

Li Yi was pleased, and it put a smile on his face.

More than half a month he had been tiring himself out, and he had finally done it…

What motivated him was not only his desire to learn the Superior Transformation Spell but also achieving Worship with Alleria.

…

In the heart of the North Pole Continent, a magnificent structure equal to the marvels of the Arabian Nights stood in the deepest part of the frost, the ruins of the Emperor’s Capital.

In the past life, the location of the Capital was not here. This had changed because of Li Yi’s plan, and now the ancient ruins appeared in the North Pole Continent.

Ever since the Ancient King Series Dungeon was opened there were countless players who wanted to try it. Fed up with Foreignland, they rushed to the Emperor’s Capital to challenge the Ancient King.

The Ancient King Series Dungeon was unique in its own way. Whether it was a group dungeon or a small dungeon for five people, the bosses were royals who once ruled the Continent. The official explanation was that the souls of the dead kings were infected by certain mysterious forces, and they rose to battle for the throne.

As it involved regicide, the Ancient King Series Dungeon was collectively referred to as the Remnants of the King.

Remnants of the Ancient King…

Near the ruins of the Emperor’s Capital, players of the three Continents were fighting their own war. While the inside of the dungeon was completely safe, the outside, however, was not.

Li Yi rode on Onyxia and descended at great speed. He flew past a player who was fighting and went directly into one of the smaller dungeons.

System Notification: [You have entered a Normal Mode Instance Dungeon, Tomb of the Frozen King.]

At present, there were no guilds that had successfully cleared the heroic difficulty. They were all attempting the normal difficulty. Li Yi had contacted Jiaojiao before he came, but she already had a team of five and there was no vacancy.

A pro like him could not find anyone, and he did not want to pair up with strangers.

The Ancient King Dungeon Series was his most frequently attempted dungeon during his previous life. His Night Emperor Equipment Set originated from here. Qian’er’s family had pressured him to be this desperate.

The Tomb of the Frozen King was the easiest dungeon in the series. The monsters were Frost Giants, and the boss was the Frost Emperor.

This map was quite straightforward. There was a four-sided altar. When the player spawned in, he or she would be standing in the altar. Countless Frost Giants would approach from all directions. One simply needed to put them all down within the time limit. Once completed, the Frost Emperor would emerge.

[Repel the Frost Giants’ attack and hold on to the Frozen Altar for 20 minutes!]

Li Yi entered the dungeon and received a system prompt.

“Roar—”

A couple of Elite-level Frost Giants armed with wolf teeth cudgels ran toward him. The latter fired two arrows and defeated them with ease.

“Roar—”

There was a Frost Giant, each attacking from both the left and the right. Li Yi stayed on the same spot and shot twice. None of them lived.

Challenging the Tomb of the Frozen King without enough ATK would put a main tank’s skills to test the test. Minions would approach from all directions. A tank’s job would be to distract them from harming the other party members.

For Li Yi, however, his ATK was enough to kill everything. He alone was enough.

“Roar—”

The loud giants continued to advance from four directions. The initial number was only one or two. Later, more than a dozen came together, one wave after another. Stopping and rest was clearly a luxury that could not be afforded.

Li Yi fired left and right, but normal attacks soon proved inadequate. With his Shoot at Random, the giants were laid to rest with one fell swoop.

An injured Frost Giant managed to scramble to its feet. “Arise, O mighty Emperor in deep slumber! Thy frozen armor and sword will bring an everlasting winter and destruction upon this land!” It enunciated.

Bang! Bang!

The altar ruptured from the center. A giant hand wrapped in ice sprang from beneath. As the ground trembled, an armored Frost Giant towering an impressive 98 feet broke itself out of concrete.

“Death is your only way out, intruder!”

The Frost Emperor charged toward Li Yi with the frozen sword in his hand. A chill could be felt from its pointy edge.

Li Yi did not bother to move aside. Pulling his bowstring, he released a True Overlord Arrow.

The figure of a colossal fiery phoenix shrieked and flew out, prevailing over the cold and landed on the Emperor.

[-67543234]

An unbelievable figure of 60 million+ damage appeared above the Emperor, and the latter crumbled.

The Frost Emperor of the normal difficulty only had 50 million HP, which could not resist such high damage.

An achievement notification popped up, giving ten achievement points to the Legacy of the Frost Giant.

Li Yi went up to its body and obtained 3 Frozen Crystals.

Only materials, no equipment, what a joke.

Li Yi re-entered after switching the dungeon to heroic difficulty.

The heroic difficulty would only appear after completing the normal difficulty. The normal difficulty could be attempted as many times a day, but one could only attempt on the heroic difficulty once per day.

There had not been any record of first kills from any heroic difficulties in the whole of the Dungeon Series. From this, a huge difference could be perceived between heroic difficulty and normal difficulty.

[Repel the Frost Giants’ attack while protecting the Ice Pearls and hold on to the Frozen Altar for 30 minutes!]

Compared with before, the passing condition of the heroic difficulty had seen some changes.

In the four corners of the ice altar, there would be an ice pearl with only 1 HP. Any one of them crushed and the battle was over.

Protecting the ice pearls until the Emperor was defeated. This was the requirement of the heroic difficulty.

Since the normal difficulty could be done with little effort, many players thought that the heroic difficulty would be equally easy. The bitter taste of failure hit them again and again. They gave up and attempted all the normal difficulties first to find better equipment.

More than a dozen of Frost Giants appeared from all corners, each with more than 10 million HP, all equipped with three stacks of Frozen Guard (has the effect of nullifying 99% of incoming damage, shatters on impact), not an easy opponent.

“God Mode!”

“True Overlord Arrow!”

The phoenix stretched its wings and bombarded its adversaries. The best thing about the True Overlord Arrow was not its ability to kill, but its knockback powers. The Frost Giants were hindered by the phoenix, giving Li Yi an opportunity to catch his breath.

Like an ordinary Overlord’s Arrow, the cooldown period of the True Overlord Arrow was 30 seconds as well. It would not have reached its full potential without the assistance of his Orange Quality Bow.

It could also be done with the Wind Sword. However, it was still being upgraded by Snickersnee, so he was forced to use God Mode to launch repeated attacks.

Initially, the small number of Frost Giants and the knockback effect of the True Overlord Arrow allowed Li Yi to keep up.

However halfway through their numbers grew to more than 100, and Li Yi immediately felt the pressure.

There was too much demand for mana when using the True Overlord Arrow.

After clearing the first wave, another wave with the same number of giants came in from all directions. His mana was spent.

It really was too much for one person…

Li Yi took out something from his front pockets and shouted as he held it up high, “I choose you, baby girl!”

A bright shaft descended from the firmament. Holding a longbow and wielding a longsword, the valiant White Elf Vagabond Alleria appeared.
