Chapter 297: Light and Dark TalismanEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"I, Pink Girl have gone through all kinds of hardships. I’ve finally arrived on the Eastern Continent."

Inside the Eastern Continent’s chasm, Pink Girl looked around the alien surroundings as she rode on her Pink Pig. She could not help herself as she expressed her awe out loud.

"Hi beauty, where are you heading to? You look unfamiliar, are you new to the ga?"

A few Eastern Continent players guarding the border greeted her.

Pink Girl blinked as she imdiately gave him a hug. "I’m a new player. Hey, how do I get to the Wind Capital?"

After working on it for half a year, Pink Girl had finally changed her class to Traveler. Every player, regardless of their camp, would perceive her as green status, indicating that she was Friendly.

"Just keep heading east. This girl is pretty cute."

"Thank you."

Pink Girl thanked them sweetly as she ordered her Pink Pig to head towards the Wind Capital.

Pink Girl could not help but feel excited as she realized that she soon could see the person she saw in her dreams. She ca here so hastily that she had yet to inform her best friend, Sister Windcloud Nine.

"Who’s the man that snatched your heart away?" It was not the first ti Sister Windcloud Nine had asked her this question.

"He has a pair of strong and hunky biceps and a broad chest. He may not be tall, but he has a sharp gaze, just like two fireflies in shining in the night sky... He’s so brilliant, so outstanding. There’s also his scruffy and patchy mustache, seemingly trimd by the gods themselves. And that proud opening line. Every part of him fully captivates ..."

Pink Girl’s thoughts had drifted deeply as she rode Pink Pig. It was only when she felt a cold breeze and sneezed that she ca back to her senses.

She looked in front of her and realized that Pink Pig had jumped down the cliff and she was in the midst of falling down.

"Ahhh.. stupid pig doesn’t know how to take a detour... Ahh..."

Pink Girl scread as she fell into the abyss..."

...

"There’s a total of five quests to clear in order to change your class to Black Paladin. Since you’ve only cleared two of them, you’re still far from completing everything. Cassius didn’t give you any quests, right? That’s fine, all you need to do is to go back to the city to look for the Archer ntor to activate the third quest."

"Okay, I understand."

Li Yi was in a great mood as he finished guiding Jiaojiao. Then, he managed to deal with the Kobold General in the next attempt together with the four ladies.

Xu Man had looted two gold Thief equipnt and the two sisters shared them equally between themselves.

The Man and Woman Instance Dungeon had a lot of great items. Although Li Yi did not have the need for better equipnt for the mont, it was a huge deal for the rest of the mbers.

Since the release of the Light and Dark Instances, the equipnt level system had been revised as well. As GS had been used to differentiate the strength of the players in the past, this system had been simplified as the strength of the players were now separated from the Equipnt Level.

White, blue, green, gold, purple, and orange. The grade of the equipnt would give additional points to the Equipnt Level. The sum of these points would be the player’s current Equipnt Level.

Li Yi’s current Equipnt Level was 195 while an average player’s Equipnt Level was around 80. One could only imagine how powerful he was.

Fire Ice was the strongest among the four ladies as her Equipnt Level was as high as 120. Little Elf from the Magical Realm was just behind her at 109 and the Equipnt Level of Xu Man and Moonlight Ocean were 102 and 95 respectively.

Fire Ice was powerful because Li Yi had given her a set of class equipnt. Naturally, her mount had also contributed a small amount of Equipnt Level as well.

A player’s Equipnt Level would need a minimum of 120 in order to clear the Instances. They would not be able to handle the spawns in the Instances without eting this requirent.

Although Li Yi and Fire Ice’s Equipnt Level had t the requirent, it was not the case for the other three and they must do sothing to increase it.

The five of them cleared the spawns and soon reached the end of the passage. The strategy was the sa as last ti where the four ladies surrounded Lawson while Li Yi pulled l on his own. The only difference was that Li Yi would aim at Lawson first.

The helpless Lawson soon fell to the ground. l went berserk as she gained an additional buff, where her ATK was increased by 200%. Violent Bear King pulled her aggro firmly as Little Elf from the Magical Realm and Fire Ice healed it at the sa ti, forcefully grinding the enraged l to death.

Little Elf from the Magical Realm went to loot the boss and all mbers had obtained a notification stating that they had obtained a piece of Dark Talisman.

Little Elf was lucky as she had looted three gold equipnt, in which two of them was compatible with her whereas the last one was Thief equipnt. Naturally, it would be given to Xu Man and her sister.

Little Elf from the Magical Realm’s Equipnt Level had risen to 119 while Moonlight Ocean had reached 99. Both of their Equipnt Level had increased.

"Talisman Fusion."

Li Yi took out two talismans and clicked on the fusion option.

The light and dark cloud of gases fused together and combined into one, revealing the hidden Attribute.

[Light and Dark Talisman (Purple Grade)]

[Equipnt Level: Level 30]

[Light Resistance

20]

[Dark Resistance

20]

[Special effect: Probability of dying from the Judgent of the Great Light reduced by 50%]

[Special effect: Probability of dying from the Dark Song reduced by 50%]

[Note: Unique item. Does not require the player to equip. The effect will automatically activate when the player is in the Light and Dark Instance Dungeon.]

...

"The Light and Dark Instances had a lot of powerful monsters and it will be incredibly hard to clear them without any equipnt which provides resistance towards these two attributes. Not to ntion there’re Judgent of the Great Light and Dark Song, the two skills that can instantly kill anyone. We would be wiped out instantly without this talisman."

The four ladies sowhat understood the situation once Li Yi explained it to them.

"What should we do next? Clear the remaining four of the five-man dungeons?"

"Of course!"

He had only obtained three first kills thus far and this was still far from enough for him. He wanted more!

"Let’s exit this dungeon!"

Li Yi counted the ti to wait for the King of Soul’s patrol to pass before coming out from the dungeon.

One of the most annoying things related to the Light and Dark Instances was that players would be ambushed the mont they left the dungeon. This phenonon was basically a daily occurrence.

Li Yi encountered the sa thing again the mont they left the Instance Dungeon.

A bag of poison was thrown toward Li Yi from behind which was followed by a blinding flash from a sharp knife speeding towards his buttock.

"Clank!"

Both were wrong moves as Li Yi had set a Frost Trap underneath him the mont he used Dark Devour to nullify the paralysis.

Xu Man raised her hand and cast a cloud of red powder to reveal the ambusher’s figure who was in Stealth Mode.

Although the ambusher was in Stealth Mode, Xu Man’s skill, the Revealing Powder was able to render his stealth ineffective!

[Revealing Powder (Thief’s Skill): This skill doesn’t deal any damage but it can reveal enemies that are hidden or in stealth. The powder lasts for 20 seconds with 10 minutes CD.]

He was tiny, wretched-looking and extrely skinny...

This was the appearance of the ambusher!

Li Yi jumped high up as he drew his bow and shot at him.

Li Yi was able to guess his ambusher’s identity even though he did not see his face. This was not just so random person. This was no other than the Ass-busting Poisonous Thief from the Southern Continent, the Untraceable God of Death, Hostile Mutilation!

Since Hostile Mutilation was tortured to death by Li Yi in the past, how could he sit still and do nothing? He had been waiting at the entrance of the Instance Dungeon the mont Li Yi and his party entered the dungeon. Taking his personality into account, he would never stop until he had killed Li Yi.

In comparison to Old Green, he was definitely more stubborn and cruel. This was not just anyone, this was Hostile Mutilation!

"Shadow Cape!"

Hostile Mutilation’s reaction was quick as he imdiately used Shadow Cape to dispel the Revealing Powder and hid in the shadows once more.

Li Yi missed his target. Then, the shining knife appeared behind Xu Man and entered her three tis, causing her to fall to the ground. She was, again... stabbed in the butt!

Hostile Mutilation would only reveal himself when he attacked and would imdiately disappear the mont he landed his blow.

"Everyone enter the dungeon!"

Li Yi was shooting about randomly in the sky. This way, he would be able to cover Little Elf and the others as they escaped while revealing Hostile Mutilation if he were shot.

Fire Ice and the rest would definitely listen to Li Yi if they were inside the Instance Dungeon but this was an exception. All of them had their own tempers even if they were just ladies. They would be angry as well if they were killed.

Moonlight Ocean imdiately rushed in as Little Elf from the Magical Realm activated her Miracle of Wind. Fire Ice was even more ruthless as she had summoned her Heavenly Warhorse to support the party in the sky.

As Li Yi’s random shots were not able to force Hostile Mutilation out from Stealth Mode. He stopped attacking and imdiately focused his attention on Moonlight Ocean.

Little Elf from the Magical Realm was a healer, she had incredible healing capabilities despite her low ATK. Since Fire Ice was in the sky and Hostile Mutilation was not able to attack her, the only target left for the latter was no other than Moonlight Ocean. Who else there could he target?

Li Yi counted the ti in his mind as he shot towards Moonlight Ocean’s back.

Powered-up Arrow! Eliminate!

Thud! Thud!

[-1212]

[-1245]

Both arrows hit!

Hostile Mutilation cussed as he consud a bottle of Advanced-Level HP Potion and escaped.

Li Yi summoned the Holy Light Warhorse as he shot randomly while galloping about. As Hostile Mutilation did not manage to evade in ti, his figure was revealed as he had taken an arrow.

Li Yi seized the opportunity as he released a whirlwind from the tip of his binder and bound him.

"Punishnt Windstorm!"

It was a near-perfect special skill and its only flaw was perhaps it had a short range of only 10 yards.

[-1876]

[-1678]

Li Yi put Hostile Mutilation to the ground with his Chain Arrow.

Then, Fire Ice landed down as she revived Xu Man.

"This Thief is seriously bonkers. I hate him." Xu Man gritted her teeth.

She had been killed by him twice now and she was stabbed in the butt in both instances. This was without a doubt a complete humiliation to a girl.

Li Yi smiled. "He’s definitely not ntally sound. Rumor has it that he’s behaving so because he has so sort of ntal illness. Since this is just a rumor, I’m not sure if it’s true or false."

"It’s definitely the truth, without a single doubt!" declared Xu Man.

"He has been hit by my Soul Bind and he will be lying here for the next 24 hours. He shouldn’t be able to attack us for so ti."

"He’s lucky that he didn’t drop any equipnt!" Xu Man was still furious.

Li Yi sneered, "The infamous party leader of the Platinum Hand had her ass busted twice by the sa person. Do you think there would be an uproar if this were revealed to the public?"

"Bleh. You’re the only one who had his ass busted. I was... only stabbed in the hip." Xu Man’s face was as red as a tomato.

"Hahaha..." Li Yi raised his head to look at the sky as he waved his hand. "Let’s head inside the dungeon. The King of Souls is able to arrive."

The four ladies followed Li Yi as they entered the new five-man Instance Dungeon, Dark Song.

...

"Finally, I’ve finally reached the top... Ugh, it’s already day ti... F*cking hell I’ve been climbing for the entire night!"

Pink Girl was panting as she kept climbing up with her small pale hands.

"Screech..."

A Level 50 Gray Eagle had spotted her in the sky. It plunged down and cast Turbulent Tornado at her.

Pink Girl was blown away as she fell into the abyss once more...

"F*ck you!!!"

...
