“If only Jiaojiao were here…”

As several hundred ghouls crept out, the first thought that crossed Li Yi’s mind was Jiaojiao. However, on second thought, even if Jiaojiao were here, she would not be able to control these ghouls. There was still a huge gap between the original and bogus owners.

“God Mode!”

“Sky Vagabonds, focus your spells on my Overlord Arrows!”

Overlord Arrows carrying Inextinguishable Flames shot towards the incoming ghoul army.

Skill Interruption!

Skill Interruption!

Skill Interruption!

Interruption interruption interruption…

Shockwaves came one after another, wiping out all five hundred ghouls…

Fortunately, Brother Windcloud Nine managed to lure Lil Moigne away or the impact of the Overlord Arrows would affect the Soul King and Moigne, causing the situation to go out of the control.

The army of ghouls capable of causing a TPK were annihilated by Li Yi’s unlimited Overlord Arrows.

“No, no, my son, stop. Don’t use that evil power. The Holy Light has not abandoned us. This is a test by the Holy Light!”

Moigne’s was body suspended in mid-air with the Soul King gripping him by the throat. However, impressively, Moigne was able to open his mouth and enunciate his words clearly…

“I refuse, father. The Holy Light is just a form of power. I am now utilizing a similar power. I wish to use my own powers to rescue you!”

The father and son duo were exchanging words nonstop while the party members were busy on their feet. Lil Moigne might be talking about rescuing his father, but his actions said otherwise. The party would easily be wiped out if some of them did not fight against him.

The Soul King’s HP was gradually dropping but each time its HP reached around 10%, it would use a skill to rapidly drain Moigne’s HP.

Confused Fox was in a panic, “If this goes on, unless we stop healing Moigne, the Soul King will be like a perpetual motion machine, never stopping.”

Shangguan Bailu, who had been observing for some time, spoke up, “Gauge Moigne’s HP, keep it below 10%, careful not to heal too much!”

The party healers stopped one by one and in the end, only Eleanor was healing on Moigne.

Creatures sealed in Dark Scrolls could only be used once and would last until either the end of a battle or 24 hours passed. In other words, if the battle did not end, Eleanor would continue to assist for 24 hours.

Limiting Moigne’s HP would prevent the Soul King from healing too much. However, Moigne having low HP increased the risk of him dying from the Soul King’s draining. Moigne would easily die if the pace of healing his HP was not right.

When the Soul King’s HP was reduced to around 10%, Shangguan Bailu gave an order, “Everyone, stop.”

Moigne’s HP was at 9% and the Soul King’s skill would drain 8% of his HP. Shangguan Bailu ordered a stop in order for the party to catch their breath.

Tst —

After the Soul King had drained 8% of Moigne’s HP, the healers did not heal him, leaving Moigne at 1% HP. The party’s DPS started to open fire while King of Souls’ Drain was on cooldown!

“Bp bp bp bp bp…”

King of Souls’ HP zeroed down in one blast…

“Holy Light, grant me power!”

Yelling out loud, the faded Holy Light on Moigne’s body flickered. Although only for a moment, he managed to break free of the Soul King’s grasp.

Moigne cried out to Lil Moigne with joy, “My child, look. The Holy Light did not abandon me!”

Lil Moigne’s mind went blank. Suddenly, a teleportation door came out of nowhere and opened before him, pulling him in.

With Lil Moigne gone, Moigne panted heavily in a crouching position from his wounds. On the other hand, the Soul King was not dead yet…

The Soul King’s body had been fragmented, transforming into several hundred Soul Gates and spreading out.

“I am the Soul King; my soul will never die. There are one hundred and fifty-eight Soul Gates and only one of them contains my soul core. Can you find it? Hahaha, crush! Crush!

As the Soul King started to fade away, a dimensional windstorm descended to attack the party.

100 HP was decreased every second for a prolonged time period…

“Which of the portals is it in?”

“Do we just charge into one?”

Many eyes were fixated on Li Yi.

“Don’t look at me, I don’t know which portal it’s in…”

Li Yi was helpless in this situation. The trump cards he prepared were already revealed, making him as ordinary as everyone else.

Shangguan Bailu said, “Let’s test it out! Who’s first?”

“Me!”

“Me, me… me…”

Dozens raised their hand.

Confused Fox suggested, “Let the main tanks go in first. Main tanks have more HP.”

Shangguan Bailu nodded in accordance, “Yes, main tanks, Brother Nine, you first then!”

“No problem!”

Brother Windcloud Nine pointed at the Soul Gates, going eeny, meeny, miny, moe silently before setting foot into one of them.

All the Soul Gates looked exactly the same so deciding based on appearance was out of the question.

Ouyang Qian was displeased, “How **ty, having it all come down to luck at this point…”

Ding!

Congratulations! Brother Windcloud Nine has opened a Purple Quality Treasure Chest and obtained 100 Light Pearls.

A System Notification was published in the party channel, leaving the party members gasping in surprise.

“It’s… it’s actually… a lucky draw?”

“F*ck me, I would have gone if I knew earlier…”

“Sob sob sob sob…”

It was then that the dimensional windstorm accelerated its swirling, increasing its strength…

The original 100 HP deduction per second was now 200 HP per second, doubling the damage dealt.

Shangguan Bailu clapped, “I get it now. No matter which portal we enter, the dimensional windstorm will gain momentum and we’ll all die if we don’t find the right portal.”

Brother Windcloud Nine exited the Soul Gate, shaking his head at the crowd.

Shangguan Bailu ordered, “Next one in!”

Although the dimensional windstorm had doubled its damage, with the super healer NPC Eleanor around, they were all safe even without the six healers helping.

Eleanor’s heals were above 3,000 points per second and a quick Great Recovery could bring the numbers up to ten thousand per second for a short period of time.

Brother Windcloud Nine shook his head, “No can do for me. The Soul King is blocking me from entering again.”

Mad Dragon cursed while lying on the ground, “F*ck me, one person can only go in once. So that means we’ll only get 25 chances?”

Unending Unmatched snorted, “Less than 25 times, you’re dead.”

“I’m next!”

Ice Wizard Wang Wang Dumplings raised her hand.

Shangguan Bailu shook her head, “We can’t just choose one and rush in…”

If all 25 party members were accounted for, they would have 25 chances. However, with Mad Dragon dead and Brother Windcloud Nine’s opportunity over, they were left with only 23 chances to get it right.

Troubled, Shangguan Bailu was unable to shoulder the responsibility so she sought for Li Yi’s help, “Guild Master, what say you…”

Li Yi snapped his fingers, “Let’s roll!”

“Roll?” Everyone drawled.

“That’s right, we don’t know which portal’s correct. Let’s just pick one. Whoever gets the highest number must have good luck.”

“Guild Master Yi sure has brains,” Ouyang Qian took a dig at Li Yi.

“That’s my suggestion but you’re the commander, so it’s up to you whether to agree to it.”

“Let me think about it…”

Shangguan Bailu’s brows were entangled in a knot. The party had been at it for two weeks and a setback at this stage would be a huge blow to the entire party as well as herself.

Shangguan Bailu responded with an assured tone, “There must be some hint that we haven’t notice…”

“Holy Light, why can’t I use your powers?”

Great Lord Moigne was standing by, gazing blankly into his palms while mumbling to himself.

Confused Fox pointed, “Could the hint be on him?”

“I doubt it, but we should ask!”

Shangguan Bailu moved her short limbs towards Moigne.

“Great Lord, do you know which Soul Gate contains the soul core?”

“Holy Light, why can’t I use your powers?”

“Great Lord, the Soul King isn’t dead, we need your power!”

“Holy Light, why can’t I use your powers?”

“Holy Light above, Great Lord…”

“Holy Light, why can’t I use your powers?”

Moigne repeated the same phrase over and over again no matter what Shangguan Bailu said to him. Losing his son had crushed him.

Shangguan Bailu sought help from Li Yi, “Guild Master…”

“Let’s roll!” Li Yi was firm.

“Alright, let’s roll once,” Shangguan Bailu was out of ideas.

Apart from Brother Windcloud Nine and Mad Dragon, the remaining 23 party members engaged in rolling. The end result had Shangguan Bailu taking home the win and earning the right to enter one of the portals.

“Lulu, keep it up!”

“Baibai, my best is on you.”

A few players from the same guild gave her their blessing.

Shangguan Bailu forcefully nodded and stepped into one of the Soul Gates.

Ding!

The Soul Gate broke into pieces, causing Shangguan Bailu to lose her footing and fall into a dimensional rift…

Another System Notification was broadcast but rather than rewards, it was an announcement of Shangguan Bailu’s death.

“I’m sorry, guys…”

With Shangguan Bailu’s corpse teleported out, she apologized to everyone while lying on the ground.

Ouyang Qian glanced at Li Yi, “Roll, luck, death.”

That big tits chick always knew when to seize the opportunity to take a dig at Li Yi.

The dimensional windstorm doubled in damage again, increasing from 200 HP to 400 HP per second!

The damage doubled after each attempt and if this continued on, the entire party would…

“What are your thoughts? Share them!”

“I think rock, paper, scissors would be best!”

“I think men should go in. Between Brother Nine and Lulu, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? The difference in gender!”

“Difference, my ass. It’s just a coincidence, how could it be gender related?”

“Whatever!”

The party members voiced out their opinions and two players, hot with emotion were on the verge of getting physical.

After blabbering for a long time, a concrete plan has yet to emerge.

It was then that, Li Yi raised his hand, “I’ll go!”
