MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks

Chapter 793: The Most Overpowered Class

The third item was the best of all the items that the Lich King dropped. It was the mysterious helmet that released the black vapor.

[Lich King’s Crown (Legendary-level. Non-Soul Bound. 100% chance of dropping upon the player’s death.)]

[Equip-able Class: Lich King]

[+500000000 HP]

[+500000 STR]

[+500000 INT]

[+500000 P-DEF]

[+500000 M-DEF]

[Special Effect: Reduces all skill cooldowns by 100%]

[Special Effect: Recovers 10% mana every second.]

[Grim Skies (Special Skill): Unleashes a black vapor of the Darkness attribute, negating a large portion of attacks on the user. When the vapor reaches its target, the target’s stats are reduced by 90%, and they will take 100000 points of Shadow Damage.]

[Note: This is a crown that is filled with malicious energy. Unless you’re a Lich King, you’d best not put it on — Holy Paladin Cassius]

…

Li Yi was left speechless after reading the stats of the oddly-shaped helmet.

While there were several hidden classes in King of Pantheon like Queen Jiao’s Dark Paladin or Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s Martial Artist; Li Yi had never heard of the Lich King class.

Be it in the present or past life, Li Yi had never even heard of it before.

‘Can players become Lich Kings?’

‘This…This can’t be real…’

Li Yi was thrown for a loop by the stats of the Lich King’s Crown.

Even if he ignored the crazy attribute boosts on it, just the two special effects and the special skill alone would make it a godlike item.

‘Reduces all skill cooldowns by 100%.’ What did this sentence mean? It meant that all skills would no longer have a cooldown, which made it essentially the same as entering God Mode, allowing the user to use whatever skill they wished. Coupled with the second special effect, which allowed the player to recover 10% of their mana every second, the crown basically provided its wielder with unlimited combat capabilities.

Last but not least, there was also the special skill, which summoned a damage-negating black vapor with unlimited range. No matter how one looked at it, the attributes on the helmet did not seem like it belonged to players…

Li Yi was stumped.

‘Based off the stats, the Lich King’s Crown is undoubtedly the most powerful item I’ve ever obtained. However, who the f*ck plays as a Lich King? Is it even usable?’

‘Can it be? Could Dark Paladins become Lich Kings?’

Unable to suppress his curiosity any longer, Li Yi called the murderous Queen Jiao over to his house in Shattered Frost City.

After giving the two pieces of Legendary Equipment to Jiaojiao, her anger immediately abated.

It was not because of the high prices of the Legendary Equipment, but rather due to Li Yi’s flowery words.

“I didn’t have time to entertain you just now because I was busy gathering these items. It’s a once in a blue moon opportunity, and I was doing it for your sake.”

Jiaojiao was not too concerned about the equipment’s stats. Rather, her attention was wholly focused on the phrase ‘for your sake’.

“Hmph, a-a-at least you’ve got your priorities straight.”

Striking while the iron is hot, Li Yi prodded, “So, about the other night…”

Embarrassed, Jiaojiao squirmed as she lowered her head. “Aha…?”

Li Yi exclaimed, “You’ve finally agreed to have an orgy?”

Jiaojiao raised her leg and thrust it forward. “Get lost!”

Li Yi sidestepped, and mischievously took out the Lich King’s Crown, and dangled it in front of Jiaojiao.

“Guess what this is.”

“A helmet.”

“…”

Li Yi displayed the Lich King’s Crown’s stats for Jiaojiao, and she immediately gasped in shock.

“This can’t be real. H-How’s this even possible? It gives way too much stats, it’s too fake!”

“Want to try it on?”

“I can equip it?”

“No clue, but you never know if you never try.”

“Alright then, now, hand it to me.”

Jiaojiao extended her hand with a look of excitement on her face.

Li Yi stepped forward and put the Lich King’s Crown on Jiaojiao’s head.

Psst-psst—

Shady-looking black vapor gushed out of Lich King’s Crown. With a bang, it dropped onto the ground, along with Jiaojiao’s blackened corpse…

She was dead.

Jiaojiao sobbed as she lay on the ground. “Boohoohoo, you deliberately assassinated me…”

Li Yi quickly fished out his Cardiac Pacemaker and revived Jiaojiao.

The test was complete. It had proven that Dark Paladins were unfit to put on the Lich King’s Crown.

Damn, this item’s useless…

Once the player dies, the Lich King’s Crown was guaranteed to drop…

“Crappy piece of junk!”

Jiaojiao raised her leg and kicked the Lich King’s Crown into a corner of the house.

Li Yi did not go over to collect it. Since he had no use for the item, and it would only be deadweight if he had carried it on him, he had no qualms about tossing it aside.

Jiaojiao, on the other hand, was quite pleased with her items. She put on her Dark Cape and her Dark Crystal, and then she twirled around in front of Li Yi. “A cape and a crystal, my my, I’ve grown stronger again.”

“Jiaojiao, try growing big.”

“Growing big?”

“The special skill on the Dark Crystal, you know, Lich King’s Fury.”

“Lemme try.”

Even if Li Yi had not told her to do so, Jiaojiao would have done it to show off anyways. Upon activating Lich King’s Fury, her body rapidly grew in size. Within mere moments, a giantess now stood before Li Yi.

However, the giantess’ movements were a bit comical. Due to the small size of the building, the giantess could not even stand up straight, making it hard for her to move around.

Psshhh—

Jiaojiao canceled Lich King’s Fury, reverting her body to its original size.

It was a pretty good skill. Not only did it increase the user’s size, but it also increased their damage and attack range.

Satisfied, Li Yi looked at Jiaojiao and nodded his head. “That’ll do.”

“What’ll do?”

“Follow me! Our target, Silvermoon City!”

Since Li Yi and Jiaojiao could use Teleport, they could Teleport to anywhere they wished in the map of the Invincible Continent.

Now that he had used his random ticket to the Seven Secret Places, Li Yi only had one more chance of going to the Seven Secret Places, which was via the Heart of Earth Element that was rewarded by the White Elf Queen, Sif from Silvermoon City.

[Unveil the Secrets to the Heart of Earth Element]

[Quest Requirement: Activate the Portal to the Heart of Earth Element in Silvermoon City via the Moon Worship Ritual, travel to the Heart of Earth Element, and unveil the secrets shrouded within.]

This quest had been in Li Yi’s Quest Pane for a long time, and he had never once attempted to hand it in.

“What are we here for?”

“Just follow me and you’ll understand.”

Li Yi led Jiaojiao to the Queen’s palace, turned in the quest, and followed Queen Sif’s orders to enter the portal of the Heart of Earth Element.

Many White Elf Priests set off to work. They stood at the entrance of the palace and began setting up the teleportation circle.

Since Li Yi had time to kill, he called in Little Elf from the Magical Realm, Qian’er, and Fire Ice with his Friend Summoning Tool and told them to stand at the sides of the teleportation circle.

Unveil the Secrets to the Heart of Earth Element only allowed the quest-taker to enter it, and since Jiaojiao and the others did not receive the quest, by right, they should not be able to enter it. However, there was a method that provided the possibility for the quest-taker’s party members to follow him in as well.

It was no secret that everyone could use the portals erected by the White Elf Priests. Back in Li Yi’s past life, many had used these portals, but their destination was never the Heart of Earth Element, but other places.

By utilizing the same principle, Li Yi wanted to test whether it was possible for his party members to enter the portal along with him.

Soon after, the White Elf Priests finished setting up the teleportation circle. They told Li Yi to stand at the center and prepared to whisk him away.

Hundreds of white elves stood together. They recited the incantation, which activated the teleportation circle under him.

Li Yi waved his hands at the girls. “Join me in the center.”

The girls quickly gathered around him, and a moment later, Li Yi told Jiaojiao to activate Lich King’s Fury.

Jiaojiao’s body instantly enlarged. A black-clad, stylish giantess had now completely encased the teleportation circle.

“Psst-psst-psst—”

Using the Shrinking Scroll, Li Yi turned the three other girls into thumb-sized figures.

Li Yi shouted, “Hurry up Jiaojiao! Pick us up and put us in your chest!”

“Okay…”

Jiaojiao nodded her head and picked up the four tiny humans. She tossed the three girls into her chest but left Li Yi in her palm.

Desperate, Li Yi called out, “What’re you doing? Put me in there as well! I’m not kidding!”

“Ptooi, you brute!”

Tch—Tch—Tch—

“Open up! Entrance to the Heart of Earth Element! Hummmmmmmmm…”

The White Elf Priests’ incantation reached a crescendo, and after emitting a blinding radiance, Queen Jiaojiao’s giant body vanished…

However, the thumb-sized Little Elf from the Magical Realm, Qian’er, and Fire Ice remained where they were. They looked at one another in utter confusion.

Ding!

A message had been sent into the Party Channel. It was from Li Yi. “The teleportation has failed; you guys are dismissed.”

Now in the grayish-brown world, the giantess, Jiaojiao held out the thumb-sized Li Yi and looked remorsefully at him.

Back when they had attempted to trick the teleportation circle, Li Yi was too far away from Qian’er and the others. Due to this, they were not transported along with Li Yi to the Heart of Earth Element.

After such elaborate preparations, only Li Yi and Jiaojiao had managed to enter the Secret Place.

“I’m so sorry! I thought…I thought…” Jiaojiao spoke in a soft tone.

“It’s alright, two of us is fine as well.”

Poof!

Li Yi dispelled the miniaturization and reverted to his original size.

What tricking the teleportation circle entailed was to first shrink the quest-taker’s body. Then, a party member would enlarge their own body via an Enlargement Scroll, or better yet, by using Lich King’s Fury.

However, the trick did not always work, as the trick itself had an innate chance of failure. In other words, the trick had more often than not, boiled down to luck as well.

Jiaojiao’s luck was pretty good, as she was able to enter along with Li Yi. The other girls were a bit less lucky, however, as they were unable to reach the Heart of Earth Element.

Jiaojiao took a look around before asking, “Is this one of the Seven Secret Places?”

Li Yi nodded his head. “Yes.”

Every player who had made it into the Seven Secret Places before would know that any trip to these places would definitely yield great rewards. Even those who had poor luck were able to bring back some pretty amazing gear, and those who had godly luck would likely receive divine equipment.

Pulling out her Lord of Disaster and hoisting it on her shoulder, Jiaojiao asked, “So, how are we doing this?”

“Bring out your ”

Li Yi summoned Alleria and told her to scout ahead.

Jiaojiao summoned her Fighter as well. Unlike Li Yi’s Fighter, Jiaojiao’s one was extremely cute. It had a flower placed on its head, and just by looking, one could tell that it was a female.

Woosh-woosh-woosh—

Alleria took five steps forward, and the scenery instantly changed.

A sandstorm was brewing, obstructing the players’ vision.

“Lil Yi’zi!” Queen Jiao cried sharply from within the sandstorm.
