Chapter 765: Fulfill My Ambitions

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As countless blue pearls floated around the Sky Emperor’s body, the light beams from them weaved together to form a gigantic net, isolating them inside.

“This can’t be, without the Empyrean Guards gathering energy, how can the Sky Emperor suddenly be revived? Unless...”

The White Elf Carine glared straight into the Sky Emperor’s eyes as she shook her head in fear.

“The Sky Emperor’s eyes are blue, how can it...”

“Heroes, you need to stop it!”

Carine did not have a combat class; she could only support the players. After finishing her dialogue, the buff from Carine’s Blessing had increased, as the crits went up to 100%.

If the players did not manage to protect Carine, then the “Carine’s Blessing” buff would instantly disappear when she dies. Hence, if the players wanted to have an easier time fighting, they needed to ensure Carine’s survival.

Li Yi tried to poke one of the floating blue pearls, but he found out that his attacks did no damage to them.

Without a way of damaging the blue pearls, how could they manage to fight this Sky Emperor who was being enveloped by this net of light?

“Come over here Little Elf.”

Li Yi waved Missus over.

Little Elf from the Magical Realm obediently flew over.

“You stand over here and block the light beam.”

As Li Yi flew off, he called Jiaojiao to go over with him.

“You stand over here and block the light beam.”

The web of light created from the blue pearls seemed to be extremely complicated, but upon closer inspection, one could still find certain openings.

After the last battle, Li Yi came to the judgment that when fighting against the Sky Emperor, they had to sacrifice a few party members and have them block the connecting light beams.

“This world belongs to me, no one can take it away from me! It’s even more impossible for you!”

As Li Yi finished splitting the responsibilities, the Sky Emperor suddenly roared out, as its gigantic arm reached out to grab Li Yi.

Li Yi quickly tugged on the string, flying straight up. Although his reaction speed was already very fast, he still failed to dodge the Sky Emperor’s grasps as he was crushed in its hands.

“Become my slave, fulfill my ambition!”

Buzz buzz buzz!

Three red circles appeared at the surface of Li Yi’s body, as both his eyes started to glow in a gory red.

He had defected, turning into one of the Sky Emperor’s minions...

As Li Yi thrust his spear at Qian’er, he also yelled out loudly, “Follow the plan!”

When fighting against the Sky Emperor, the Sky Emperor would occasionally defect one of the party members. This time, Li Yi was just the unlucky sacrifice, getting defected.

Now, Li Yi will temporarily turn into an “Empyrean Guard”, his body uncontrollably attacking his own party members. However, his mentality was not affected, so he could still give out orders.

With Little Elf from the Magical Realm and Pale Blue Elegance both moving forward to block the light beams, they managed to cut off the three pearls.

“Our comrade has been corrupted by the Sky Emperor! No worries, as long as we drag him over into the pearl’s light beams, he will return back to normal!” As long as the White Elf Carine was alive, not only would she give a huge buff to the party, she would also function as a “Guidance-type” NPC, giving players tips on how to fight.

Qian’er followed Carine’s instructions and kited Li Yi over towards the pearl’s light beams. Instantly Li Yi’s body halted all motion, as the red glow in his eyes slowly faded away. Soon, he had completely broken away from the Sky Emperor’s “Defect”.

As Qian’er pulled Li Yi away from the light beam, his body instantly regained its freedom.

At this point, the Sky Emperor raised up both its hands, as it started to chant something that most players would not understand.

However, as it continued to chant, the area was surrounded by dark clouds as the sound of a horn rang out in the sky. At the same time, its body mass slowly started to increase.

Li Yi and Qian’er immediately charged into the pearl’s web of light, using ‘Sudden Impact’ on the Sky Emperor.

“Tschhh——”

As the two afterimages pierced through the Sky Emperor’s body, they instantly dealt nearly 40,000 points worth of damage.

With the OP buff “Carine’s Blessing” in play, the attacks they made were guaranteed crits. 40,000 HP was no small number; without Carine’s Blessing, the players would have to make another attack.

“Oof...”

As the Sky Emperor’s body wobbled a little, the surrounding blue pearls suddenly started to move around erratically. Instantly, the five-man party was enveloped by the light beams from the pearls, locking their bodies in place...

“Is this GG for us? We can’t move...”

Li Yi suddenly sent an innocent emoji on the group chat.

“Forgot to reposition, GG!”

“You...”

The strategy of defeating the Sky Emperor was something Li Yi was still researching. He had not run this dungeon in his past, so how could he remember its general strategy for this?

At this point, he could only wing it as he went...

Luckily for them, they had decent luck. When the Sky Emperor was about to reach out to grab a “new slave”, one of the blue pearls moved away, allowing Qian’er to escape the control of the light beams.

Swiftly, Qian’er flew over and pulled out Li Yi and Jiaojiao respectively, temporarily avoiding the threat of a party wipe.

As Pale Blue Elegance was grabbed by the Sky Emperor, her eyes turned red as she defected.

Little Mage from the took charge and aggro’d Pale Blue, whereas Li Yi and the others charged over towards the Sky Emperor, continuing their Sudden Impact attacks!

This was only the first phase. At this point, the Sky Emperor could only grab players and make them defect, it would not start attacking on its own. The players needed to avoid the pearl’s light beams. As long as they did not all get trapped or defected, all they needed to do was to chip off 200,000 HP for the Sky Emperor’s first phase to end.

With the guaranteed crit, a single attack was equivalent to two hits. As Li Yi and the other two finished their attacks, they instantly started to reposition themselves, trying to avoid the random light beams from the floating pearls.

Other than Pale Blue Elegance, the remaining four players did not get hit by the light beams at all. It was considered a near-perfect turn.

This repeated itself a few more times. Once the Sky Emperor’s HP was down by 200,000 HP, the fight entered the second phase.

In this phase, the Sky Emperor would stop trying to grab people to make them Defect. Instead, it would randomly pick a target, open its mouth, and swallow the players whole.

Since his body size was now huge, it also had a big mouth. With a big suck, the players would involuntarily get sucked into its stomach.

The first player to get sucked in was Li Yi, then Qian’er, then Little Elf from the Magical Realm...

After swallowing three people into its stomach, the Sky Emperor would stop sucking. It would start using his fists to whack the remaining players on the outside.

Pale Blue Elegance and Jiaojiao cautiously dodged. At this point, they would rather not attack than to risk getting hit by the Sky Emperor’s fists.

The Sky Emperor’s attack speed was quite slow, as long as they moved away, the two fists posed no threat to them. On the contrary, they should focus more on dodging the blue pearls that were moving along with the Sky Emperor’s body. All would be well if they managed to avoid all the light beams.

As for the trio inside the Sky Emperor’s stomach, they could not just sit by idly doing nothing. They had to work together to aim for a certain “spot” inside the Sky Emperor’s stomach and use “Sudden Impact” on it.

Being inside the Sky Emperor’s stomach, Li Yi and the others’ HP bars were constantly ticking down. At this point, the recovery skills started coming into play. They occasionally used these skills, largely increasing their survival time.

After the three hit their “Sudden Impacts” twenty times, a flash of light appeared on the surface of the Sky Emperor’s tummy.

Without Li Yi having to give out any orders, Pale Blue Elegance and Jiaojiao immediately charged towards the sudden bulge at the belly to use “Sudden Impact”1.

The players who were swallowed inside the Sky Emperor’s stomachs would not instantly die. However, the only way they could get out was to cooperate with the players on the outside to attack a certain “area”. Once it could no longer take it anymore, it would start puking out the players.

After the five people combined their attacks nearly a dozen times, the Sky Emperor finally gave in. After a loud moan of agony, it finally opened its mouth and spat out the three players.

“Hit it! Hit it hard!”

Facing the Sky Emperor who was crunched into a ball, this was the best time to go all out on their DPS. As long as they paid the mind not to step into the light beams, they could completely focus on just outputting their damage.

With “Carine’s Blessing”, Li Yi and company halved the time needed. Within one turn, they had successfully forced the Sky Emperor into the third phase.

As the Sky Emperor raised both its hands up, it instantly sucked in all the floating blue pearls around him. With these pearls powering itself up, it managed to double its body size.

As if the air surrounding it was affected by the Sky Emperor’s surge in strength, whirls of wind started to slash about everywhere.

As the air itself was getting ripped apart, all the party members started to lose their health.

On the surface of the Sky Emperor’s body, a single blue pearl occasionally popped out flashing, before disappearing completely a moment later.

“Brave heroes, the Sky Emperor’s strength is at its peak! Normal attacks will no longer be able to damage it! Only by hitting that shiny pearl on his body with your spears will you be able to deal damage to the Sky Emperor!”

The “Guidance-type NPC” Carine screamed out the method of beating this boss.

Only if the players could hit the shiny pearls would they be able to deal any damage. If they miss any of their attacks, they would get countered by the Sky Emperor!

“I’ll give it a try!”

Jiaojiao was the first to charge up. As the air around the area was being literally torn to shreds, Li Yi and company only had a limited time on their hands. If they did not quickly resolve this phase, even if the Sky Emperor did not make a move, they would not be able to survive for much longer.

As the pearl appeared on the Sky Emperor’s left shoulder, it started to flash.

With a loud cry, Jiaojiao used Sudden Impact!

“Poof——”

Jiaojiao had definitely hit the correct spot, but she was just one moment too late. The moment her attack landed, the flashing pearl had already disappeared.

“Ptschh——”

As the healthbar on top of Jiaojiao’s head dropped down by half, Li Yi and the others all started healing her, forcefully getting her health up by a decent level.

“Everyone spread out! Little Elf at the head! Pale Blue at the rear! Qian’er’s in charge of the legs! Jiaojiao, guard the crotch! I’ll keep an eye at the chest!”

Since the Sky Emperor’s body mass was too big, it was impossible for a single player to keep an eye out for every single spot that the pearl can pop out. However, if everyone guarded a single area, they could attack whenever the pearl popped out in their vicinity, thus allowing them to successfully pass through this phase.

As the others all followed the orders, Jiaojiao was angrily protesting, “Why am I at the crotch?”

“That’s an order!”

“But why am I at the crotch?”

“Jiaojiao disobeyed the team leader’s orders, minus 10,000 DKP!”

“F*CK!” Jiaojiao pointed her middle finger at Li Yi as she started berating him for a bit.

As the Sky Emperor’s chest flashed brightly, Li Yi instantly used “Sudden Impact” on it, accurately piercing the target.

“Crack!”

As the flashing pearl was shattered, the Sky Emperor roared out in pain as its gigantic body started to rotate, seemingly initiating a Balde Storm-esque attack...

“Retreat!”

As the Sky Emperor went berserk, the party members managed to dodge away, so no one sustained any damage.

As the Sky Emperor’s crotch flashed brightly, Jiaojiao let out a loud shout, as lunged forward.

“Mr. Li, this one’s for you!”
