Chapter 46 - Life and Death Burial, Berserk

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The entire forest was filled with the angry roars of the Violent Blood Python. No matter what kind of snake it was, it had a reverse scale. In the battle just now, it could only go berserk due to its inability to fight back.

After the roar of the Violent Blood Python, it curled up its vital parts and protected itself in the middle of its body.

The higher the level of the boss, the higher its intelligence would be. Now, it already knows how to hide its weaknesses. However, this bit of intelligence was still no match for him!

Li Yi went forward to attack. The Python did not have much of a quick recovery ability. As soon as it used its strength to counterattack, it quickly recoiled back. The Python was getting weaker and weaker.

Then, the Python soon lost all its strength to fight back. Li Yi accurately locked onto the location of the wound and used Combo and Heavy Strike to attack it.

“-1,277! Double Damage!”

“-2,101! Critical Hit! Double Damage!”

“-2,740! Double Damage!”

…

The Python was in a state of despair. It was known as a dragon that swam above the ground. Now that it has been forced into such a state by a human, it looked humiliating.

The Python’s eyes began to turn blood-red knowing that it was on the verge of death, and it stared at Li Yi with murderous intent.

Li Yi saw that the giant Python’s HP had dropped to 10%, and its eyes were starting to turn red. Knowing this, he immediately retreated. It seemed that the mission to change classes to a Heavy Armoured Dragon Knight did not seem to be that simple!

“Hiss!”

The moment Li Yi retreated, the Python let out a dying roar. Its entire body began to expand like a giant hot air balloon, and it slowly rose into the air.

At the center of the giant hot air balloon were the eyes of the Violent Blood Python. It looked at the person who made it miserable with hatred and murderous intent. It then let out a sky-shaking roar that shook the entire forest.

“The f*ck! Is this thing really playing this trick right now?”

Li Yi did not expect to encounter something like this in the early stages. There was no time to run away anymore. The Python’s balloon-like body suddenly exploded. The blood, flesh, and bones of the Python blotted out everywhere, turning into countless small Pythons.

Each small Python was about a meter long. At this moment, their bodies were stained blood-red, and in an instant, the tiny Pythons surrounded Li Yi. Similar to what the original giant Python did, their bodies began to expand and rise into the sky.

In an instant, countless balloon-sized Pythons lined up side by side, blocking out the sun in the sky. The entire forest turned darker as no light could shine through.

At this moment, the forest no longer had the smell of flora and fauna. Instead, a monstrous stench wafted out.

Countless scarlet eyes stared fixated at the human who was surrounded in the deepest part of the forest. Right now, Li Yi felt as though he was submerged in a bloody river. It was as if he dropped into a bottomless hell, surrounded by countless monsters and creatures.

Were ordinary people to experience this, their hearts would give out from the immense shock.

Li Yi looked at the situation in front of him and frowned. “This is going to be a tough one!”

As soon as he said that, the dome of Pythons in the sky quickly descended.

“Bang!”

When it dropped in front of him, all Pythons’ let out a muffled sound and directly exploded.

“-560.”

[System Notification: You have received a special attack from the Violent Blood Python — Life and Death Burial. Your vitality has been reduced by 1%!]

Following that, many more explosions occurred, one after another. Within a few seconds, the shield that Li Yi held on to had been completely depleted.

“-560.”

“-560.”

…

Li Yi’s HP also began to rapidly decline at a speed that was quicker than he expected. Li Yi’s SSS-grade talent, coupled with the bonus given by the High Priest in the city was not enough to replace the amount of HP he was losing as it easily dropped 1,000 HP per second. This was concerning as his HP was slowly reaching below the 50% amount. 

At this moment, the belt he equipped the last time burst out with weak white light, and it instantly enveloped his entire body. This was a passive skill of the perfect-grade belt. As long as his HP was reduced to 50%, his recovery speed would greatly increase.

Once this occurred, the speed of Li Yi’s HP reduction had also started to slow down a little. However, his recovery speed was still struggling to keep up with the attacks that depleted his HP.

“Damn it!”

“Raging Blood Roar!”

Li Yi roared angrily. The magic weapon seemed to have sensed the danger and began to tremble violently as he gripped it tighter. Li Yi’s body then emitted a powerful black demonic aura, shaking the entire area. The surrounding Python’s were instantly shattered into nothingness by this magic weapons aura, creating a temporary vacuum zone.

In just two seconds, more balloon-sized Pythons rushed down towards Li Yi.

“Charge!”

Li Yi’s eyes focused, quickly determining the weakest point of the dome. Then, he fiercely charged towards his desired direction with all his might. It looked like he intended to break out of the dome!

However, all the Pythons seemed to have gone mad in his attempt to escape. Their speed increased greatly and their gaze became even more intense, wanting to finish this fellow off in one go.

Li Yi smiled faintly. He slowly raised his arm, and a grayish-white light instantly enveloped his entire body.

“I’ve been waiting for this moment!”

“Invisibility!”

The entire ground trembled, and countless Pythons exploded at the same time.

Finally, the smoke and dust dispersed. A person stood unscathed in the center of the chaos, with pools of blood surrounding him. He had a dark cape, wore armor that swayed with a dark luster, a large and heavy shield, and a weapon filled with a demonic aura. He was like an undefeatable God of War.

Li Yi slowly exhaled and walked towards the place that emitted a faint light.

Li Yi knew that this mission was not going to be very simple. Who would have thought that one of the most dangerous skills in the future would appear here now? If it was not for the Invincibility skill he obtained, he might have really died.

Mission items like this would only remain on the ground for about an hour. If he returned to the city and came back here again, this item would probably disappear and he would have failed the mission.

This mission was a solo mission after all. No wonder no one had this Heavy Armored Dragon Knight class in the early or late stages. It seemed that even if there was a mission like this in his previous life, he would have failed.

Li Yi quickly arrived at the place where the Pythons disintegrated. There was a red diamond-shaped object in front of him and a blood-red necklace. He picked it up to check its attributes.

This blood-red necklace was made up of a blood-red chain. In the middle of the necklace were two ruby-like red snakes with fangs baring out. They were each about 10 centimeters long and flickered with a faint red glow. It looked extremely mysterious!

[Item: Explosive Python Core (mission item)]

[Effect: Unknown!]

[Equipment: Explosive Blood Chain]

[Rarity: Perfect]

[Magic Defense: 47]

[Attribute Enhancement: Spirit +21, Intelligence +16]

[Perfect Skill: Passive skill — Explosive Blood:- Reduces 1% HP per second, attack speed +10%, movement speed +8%, toughness +25%.]

[Equipment Condition: Level 10]

…

Li Yi looked at the necklace and nodded his head in satisfaction. This necklace was really a top-tier item for him. The amount of HP it reduced was not much, so that if he were to wear it, his Blood Devour talent would be able to make up for the HP lost.

Most importantly, the toughness increased by 25%. This was an extremely perfect attribute. It reduced the control time by 25%. In a PvP, the decrease in control time was enough to change the outcome of the battle.

In the future, he would definitely encounter many strange control skills, especially those rare control skills. Even if he had a heaven-defying offensive ability, it would be difficult for him to display his true attacks.

Li Yi put on the necklace and headed towards the city. Now, he just needed to hand in the mission item for it to be completed..
