Meanwhile, the Soul King had extended his tentacles once again and grabbed ten players into the air.
This time, the luck of Li Yi’s party was running a bit low as all the healers in the party were caught by the tentacles...
A look of panic hung on Shangguan Bailu’s face. “Save the healers first! Focus all your attacks on the tentacle holding Little Elf from the Magical Realm!”
The party unleashed their attacks, swiftly rescuing Little Elf from the Magical Realm. However, due to the absence of healers, the other players who were caught did not have much health left...
The number one healer of God Creator Guild, Nirvana Inaction had perished.
Dream Guild’s number one healer, There’s a Monster in My Pocket had perished as well...
By the time all ten tentacles were beaten back, Little Elf from the Magical Realm was all that remained of the party’s healers.
“Guild Master, should we resurrect?”
When playing Soul Gate’s Normal Mode, players could choose to revive during combat. As long as they had not depleted their resurrection counts, they could revive whenever they wanted.
Li Yi commanded, “To all members, resurrect and continue the fight!”
The Soul King was already down to 50% of its health. If they were to abandon the fight now, Li Yi feared that they would be unable to replicate the results in their next attempt.
The players who had died frantically resurrected, and after a hectic turn of events, the party had finally regained their momentum.
Li Yi activated God Mode, and he ran and flew around as he led the six berserk monsterlings around the battlefield. He also made sure to fire some arrows at them from time to time in order to maintain their aggro.
All six berserk monsterlings had a HP of 60 million, and with Li Yi’s strength alone, he would never be able to defeat them all. However, if he were to ask somebody for help, the party would lose firepower. After all, they had to keep in mind that unless they defeated the boss within a specified timeframe, the boss would enter its berserk state...
Ouyang Qian privately messaged Li Yi. “Lil Yi’zi, are you brave enough to compete in DPS now?”
“My dear wife, do you truly wish to compete now? I wouldn’t mind it if you truly wish for it.”
Ouyang Qian spat, ” You brute, to think that you’re staring at the bowl despite already eating from a pot. 1 ”
“Bowl or not, does it really matter?”
“Ha...ha...”
The moment Li Yi heard Ouyang Qian’s chilling laughter, he knew, that she was now enraged.
Sister Windcloud Nine was still cheering with all her might. “Keep it up, hubby! Keep it up, everyone...”
Li Yi switched the topic. “Qianqian, do you think that Sister Nine is silly?”
Ouyang Qian did not reply.
“I think Sister Nine’s pretty smart.”
Ouyang Qian blurted out, “What aspect of her do you find smart?”
“Haha, you probably wouldn’t know. You see, Sister Nine might look dumb, but actually...” Li Yi purposely stopped mid-sentence.
“Actually what?”
“Why of course she’s actually pretty smart! If she weren’t, then how would she have managed to marry herself to someone as rich as Brother Windcloud Nine?”
Ouyang Qian’s tone was slightly confused. “Marrying some rich is equivalent to being smart? What kind of logic is that?!”
“So, you don’t want to marry someone rich?”
“Nope.”
“No wonder you’re ignoring Tyrant Sword King the Fifth.”
“Righty-o.”
“But I find Tyrant Sword King the Fifth pretty decent. He’s handsome, rich, and radiates waves of charisma. He’s basically flawless!”
“If you think he’s decent, then you should marry him then.”
“I’m a male.”
“Gender doesn’t matter...”
“Eehhh...”
Li Yi’s eyes widened at Big-tits Qian’s words. He originally intended to dig up some information by dragging the topic to Tyrant Sword King the Fifth, but he could never have imagined that Qian’er was both a lesbian and a yaoi-lover 1 as well...
The Soul King’s Arm continued to lose health. Despite sending the team into chaos whenever it unleashed its tentacles, with their ultimate countermeasure, the three resurrections they had, the team would be able to handle 3 back-to-back team wipes.
Though the Kobold Spirits were non-killable, they automatically vanished after some time.
As time progressed, Li Yi had added another three monsterlings to his plate. As of now, he was currently leading nine berserk monsterlings all around the field.
The tentacles continued to lash out, but the party had finally learned a method for dodging them. They would let the Warrior Classes stand in front, attracting the tentacles to grab them; whereas the thin-armored Classes would stand behind, to reduce their chances of being grabbed.
After seven long and grueling hours, the team finally bid farewell to the battle...
The Soul King’s Arm was brought down, and the first kill announcement for Normal Mode appeared. There were no additional rewards, only another accolade to his Hall of Fame records. This time, Li Yi and his crew did not amaze the world, but had instead incited the rage of players...
“It’s always Dark Wing! F*ckng hell, my first kill has been stolen again!”
“Normal Mode... Normal Mode... We’re still fighting the twelfth boss, how are they so fast?”
After carefully reading through the first kill announcement, Shangguan Bailu asked Li Yi, “Guild Master, why didn’t we get soul mounts despite getting Normal Mode’s first kill?”
“Yeah, I thought we would receive a soul mount.”
The players from the party expressed their discontent.
[The first party to take down the Soul King will be rewarded with Epic-level soul mounts!]
[The first party to take down the Soul King in Hell Mode will be rewarded with Epic-level flying soul mounts!]
That was the announcement that Pantheon’s official forum had made when advertising Soul Gate.
Li Yi explained, “Only the party that defeats the King of Souls is rewarded with soul mounts. Since we’re playing Normal Mode, all we killed was the Soul King’s Arm...”
“I’m gonna vomit blood...”
“I’m speechless.”
“I have nothing to say.”
The party expressed their disappointment. They had busied themselves for half a month, only to receive the small reward of being recorded into the Hall of Fame. It was just too difficult for them to accept.
Confused Fox pointed at the Soul King’s Arm which was lying on the ground. “Let’s forget about all that. Why don’t we loot the corpse and see what equipment we can get.”
Within the Soul King’s dungeon, there were 30 common bosses in total. Even though Li Yi and his party had been playing on the lowest difficulty, none of the equipment that had been dropped was lower than Gold Quality, and most of their loot had been Purple Quality. After these ten days of grueling battle, everyone in the party had managed to upgrade their equipment, including Li Yi, who was close to assembling a complete Tier 2 Equipment Set.
Shangguan Bailu asked, “Who’s going to loot it? Guild Master Dark Wing, what about you?”
Li Yi shook his head. “Anyone but me.”
With the luck he had, he knew that it would not bode well if he had looted.
Li Yi suggested, “Let Ouyang Qian loot it then. She’s famed for her God Hand.”
Shangguan Bailu clapped her hands, “Ouyang Qian, it’s up to you!”
“Please don’t blame me if I don’t manage to get good loot.”
“Don’t worry, we won’t.”
“Yeah, yeah, it doesn’t matter what you get.”
“Don’t worry, just give it your all!”
Their reaction was only natural. It was normal for a beautiful woman to garner praise. Had it been a male who looted the corpse, there would definitely be an uproar if he had failed to get anything. However, if it was a beautiful lady who looted the corpse, she would instead garner consolation if she failed to get anything...
Ding!
The moment Ouyang Qian extended her hand, an item pane popped into view. There were three items in total.
When Li Yi saw what the bottom-most item was, his face took on an ugly shade.
