VRMMO: The Unrivaled-Chapter 1505: Little Piglet’s Obsession
Chapter 1505: Little Piglet’s Obsession
"Tamers, fire as one!"
God’s Dance raised her scepter high from Candle Dragon’s formation. "Give Little Piglet a taste of the Lantern Girls’ indiscriminate bombardment and send Dark Mercenaries packing!"
At least a thousand tamers with Life of the Tamer commanded their pets to attack at the same time. The next moment, the Lantern Girls waved their lanterns, shot jets of flames into the air, and engulfed the land about a hundred yards wide in flames. The amount of area they could cover was shocking enough, but the density of their firepower was just as impressive. Candlelight Shadow wasn’t really here to annihilate Little Piglet and Dark Mercenaries—or rather, it was a secondary objective—he was using them to train his own troops. Everyone knew by now that Candle Dragon had shifted their development focus onto their tamer legion, and the 150k Life of the Tamer tamers proved they were worth the investment so far.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
The blazing flames burned hundreds of Iron Cutter Cavalrymen to death in just the blink of an eye. Every Lantern Girl had around 70k Attack, and together they dealt over 500k combined damage per second. How could anyone from Dark Mercenaries except Little Piglet survive such a deadly barrage?
Speaking of Little Piglet, a jet black qilin let out an animalistic roar and rushed out of the sea of flames. Little Piglet had over 7 million max HP, but even he was sitting at less than 10% HP after the bombardment. It would be apt to say that he already had one foot in death’s door, but he still chose to activate Freezing Heat and charge toward the enemy at high speed.
"Die!"
He raised his sword and swung an icy sword aura across the Qiu Beast Cavalry. Empowered by Great Conqueror, he dealt over 500k damage to each enemy and healed instantly to full thanks to the 100% lifesteal from the Heaven Suppressing Necklace.
Behind him, a large group of Iron Cutter Cavalry tried to come to Little Piglet’s rescue only to be stopped by the man himself. While making a 180-degree turn and fighting his way back to his troops, Little Piglet shouted, "Leave me! Our target isn’t Candle Dragon, but Purgatory Mad Dragon! March toward the southeast and tear their main force apart! I swear to bury Lu Chao’s bones in the outer lands! Get them now while I cover for you all!"
Song of Ice and Fire and God Bone were present among the Iron Cutter Cavalry. Their guild emblems marked them as vice leaders. Even Amber Pupil was demoted to a corps commander. Led by Song of Ice and Fire, they charged bravely toward Purgatory Mad Dragon's formation. Song of Ice and Fire wasn't too far behind Little Piglet in terms of overall strength, so Dark Mercenaries' charge was even deadlier than usual.
……
While spinning around, Little Piglet lashed out twice with his sword and cut down a dozen Iron Cutter Cavalrymen. He pierced 5 tamers like he was skewering barbecued meat and killed them all with Barrier Break. The 15 Lantern Girls they controlled also vanished and gave him some much needed breathing room.
Candlelight Shadow watched the battle grimly from the sky. A while later, he said in a low tone, "Why must you continue on this foolish path, Little Piglet? I know how lonely and desperate you are with none of the luxuries you normally enjoyed at the Center. You neither have a reliable place to resupply yourself nor an ally you can count on. However, you are and will always be a Chinese. Come back to us, Little Piglet. Join us with Dark Mercenaries, and we will open the door to the Center for you ourselves!"
Little Piglet narrowed his eyes and reined in his mount suddenly. While the Ink Qilin was turning around, he threw his sword straight at Candlelight Shadow!
Candlelight Shadow gritted his teeth and knocked the sword out of the way with his fist. He then uttered angrily, "Why are you doing this, Little Piglet? What are you so obsessed with? Surely you don't think that Candle Dragon is beneath you? Come back to us already! I don't wish to use the Dragon Tooth Arm against a hot-blooded Chinese like you!"
Little Piglet retorted after catching his returned sword, "Save your bullshit, Fang Zhuo! Why you expect me to join you when you're the one who brought thousands of troops to hunt me down in the first place I will never understand! I've said from the beginning that my target is Purgatory Mad Dragon only, and anyone who stands in my way is an enemy of mine. Right now, you're the one who's blocking my way first and foremost! You don't deserve to be my friend at all!"
Candlelight Shadow gritted his teeth but didn't allow his emotions to overwhelm him. He said, "Whatever. You have 10 minutes. If you still insist on treading this foolish path in 10 minutes, then I will spill your blood across this barren land!" [1]
"I'll be waiting, Martial God!"
Little Piglet continued to fight with everything he got after that, ripping through the tamer legion like a hurricane. Although he was losing HP rapidly, he was regaining them even faster. His HP staunchly remained at the 75% mark, and not one person among the 200k-strong army of Candle Dragon was able to stop him from going on a rampage!
……
"This is getting too unsightly! I'm taking him out myself!"
At the forefront of Warsky Alliance's troops, Warsky raised his sword and got ready to charge.
Pa!
However, his vice leader Lin Bing Dou Zhe caught his arm and said with a grim expression, "This kind of work is beneath you, guild leader! I'll do it!"
"Are you sure you can stop him?" Warsky asked.
"Not at all!" Lin Bing Dou Zhe raised an eyebrow. "But that is no excuse not to face an enemy, is it?"
Warsky guffawed. "You are correct. Off you go, then!"
……
A neigh cut through the air as Lin Bing Dou Zhe rushed toward Little Piglet with a shiny spear. As if on cue, Blue Sky Scar was charging toward Little Piglet in a beeline as well. It was clear that the two experts were planning to catch the Cold Wind Swordsman in a pincer attack.
"All units, stay away from him so he can't lifesteal from you! Bombard him from range!"
It was clear from his shout that Lin Bing Dou Zhe was a wise commander. Candle Dragon’s tamer legion didn’t hesitate to obey after seeing that it was advice from their ally as well. A moment later, Lin Bing Dou Zhe, Little Piglet and Blue Sky Scar were the only ones left on the corpse-ridden battlefield.
"Go, Blue Sky!"
Lin Bing Dou Zhe erupted before charging straight toward Little Piglet. Before he even got close, he raised his spear and gathered a swirl of fiery red energy before growling out, "Mad Blade Slash!"
Little Piglet saw it coming and smirked in response. He opened his empty left palm and summoned an ice shield out of nowhere.
Bang!
The moment Mad Blade Slash shattered the ice shield, Little Piglet executed his armor-piercing Ice Blade Shatter!
712,556!
Lin Bing Dou Zhe was visibly hurt by the attack, but he thrust his left palm toward Little Piglet’s chest while smiling, "You can die now…"
It was Fire Prison of Heaven, a 4-second immobilization skill! I had witnessed it before!
Some people displayed their true prowess when they were pressed, and Little Piglet was one of them. The tip of his sword gliding just a couple inches above the ground, he jumped away from Lin Bing Dou Zhe at the same time he canceled his mount state, miraculously dodging the attack. Before he could stand still though, Blue Sky Scar slashed him in the back three times in a row and dealt massive amounts of damage—
428,383!
417,334!
440,949!
Little Piglet’s situation turned precarious in just an instant. While the duel was going on, at least a hundred mages were locking their targets on him and casting very deadly Touch of the Dragonkiss. He didn’t even dare to stay at the same spot for more than half a second. Stepping across sand and gliding backward like a ghost, he changed his position twice in quick succession before executing a well-placed Ice Breaking Slash that hit both Lin Bing Dou Zhe and Blue Sky Scar!
861,626!
827,374!
After stealing back a sizable amount of HP, a grim-faced Little Piglet suddenly activated his Charge skill. True experts almost never used Charge when dueling against one another, but Little Piglet did it and came to a stop right in front of Blue Sky Scar.
"Shit!"
A chill sprang from the bottom of Blue Sky Scar’s heart. Little Piglet had clearly predicted his movement to appear right where he was going to be.
After he got into position, Little Piglet slashed Blue Sky Scar’s throat with Ice Blade Shatter. He practically had to jump to reach the fighter because he wasn’t mounted right now. Then, he spun in midair, activated Heavenly River Transformation and cast his S Rank Ancient Divine Skill, Divine Arms Slash!
Boom!
Blue Sky Scar instantly dropped to red health. He ran away while cursing, "Dammit, how is he so strong?"
Obviously, Little Piglet wasn’t going to let him. Three icicle strikes later, his Ice Ray Flurry deleted Blue Sky Scar’s remaining health and killed him where he stood. The poor guy had even dropped his boots.
Little Piglet paid no attention to the loot Blue Sky Scar dropped though. He couldn’t anyway. Lin Bing Dou Zhe’s spear had stabbed through his back and out of his chest.
"Heh…"
Little Piglet’s fighting spirit didn’t diminish in the slightest even though his HP had fallen drastically. After he activated Wind of Recovery to heal himself, he spun around to face Lin Bing Dou Zhe, grabbed his spear and performed three quick slashes. The Warsky Alliance fighter was hurt, but there was nothing he could do to stop him. Little Piglet should’ve died at least two times already, but he still survived thanks to his Heaven Suppressing Necklace.
Inevitably, Little Piglet shredded Lin Bing Dou Zhe into pieces as well. Not even two minutes had passed, and Little Piglet had destroyed the two experts and achieved a total victory in the duel!
Swhoosh!
The assault was just beginning, however. Ye Yuse stepped on the dry sand and cast God Suppressing Pagoda!
Bang!
1,136,345!
Little Piglet buckled under the power of the skill. His HP dropped to red in just the blink of an eye.
"Die!"
Freezing Heat wasn’t over yet, so he ran straight toward his attacker. Ye Yuse withdrew without hesitation because she knew that distance was her lifeline.
Hold!
MISS!
A miss appeared at the same time Little Piglet smirked disdainfully. It was of course War God Rampage. It made him immune to any magic skill for a short time, so of course Hold didn’t work on him.
Swhoosh!
His blade cut through Ye Yuse’s clothes and dealt over 1 million damage. Then, he followed up with another Ice Ray Flurry!
Bang bang bang!
Ye Yuse fell backward like a falling leaf as she had lost most of her HP. Her attacker’s figure continued to grow bigger and bigger in her pupils as he moved in for the final strike.
……
Swhoosh…
It was at this moment a figure dropped down from the sky and kicked up a thick cloud of sand and dust. Then, Candlelight Shadow clashed blades with Little Piglet.
Chiang!
Metallic sparks flew everywhere as both experts backed a couple of steps from each other. The even clash meant that their Strength stats were practically identical.
1. T/N: this is your best persuasion you can make, dude? This is worse than offering plain old money ☜
