Chapter 341: Mirror of Amplification

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Autumn Love had thrown her life away rather than sacrificing her money. Eukana was emitting ear-splitting howls constantly as she began to cast the epic-level Curse Priest skill, Life Drain.

Numerous blood cells flew out from everyone’s bodies and were converted into Eukana’s HP.

Eukana’s HP remained relatively stable and was fluctuating around 2,000,000. Life Drain could not be interrupted and would remain present until the end of the battle. If the party was unable to dish out enough DPS, it would result in the team’s annihilation.

Clink! Clank! Eukana rattled her chains once more. Fortune did not favor Autumn Love as out of the five metal chains, only the chain that Autumn Love had ‘hugged to death’ shook.

Inevitably, Autumn Love’s corpse plunged into the bottomless pit below...

Her corpse was nowhere to be found!

“Lil Girl, Protect me!”

Big Boy was unable to last much longer. He called for Lil Girl’s help and lifted his staff up high. His body levitated in mid-air as he began to recite a long-winded incantation.

“Ancient God of Darkness, heed my call...”

A green orb floated over and crashed into Big Boy.

“Boom!”

“Hand of Salvation!”

In the instant when the green orb exploded, Lil Girl immediately cast Hand of Salvation, putting Big Boy into a state of Invincibility.

Lil Girl and Fire Ice both knew how to use the epic-level skill, Hand of Salvation.

Another green orb drifted towards him. This time, Li Yi went ahead to intercept and burst it.

Big Boy was still reciting his incantation. The surroundings began to take on an ominous aura as if announcing the arrival of a Demon Lord.

God-Killing Gale was unsettled by the aura and he halted his attack, whereas Jiaojiao took a few steps back. Everyone had halted their attacks except for Li Yi, who continued to shoot his arrows.

Eukana’s HP had rapidly increased. In a short span of ten or so seconds, her HP had been replenished by around 200,000! They were unable to dish out enough damage and the Life Drain’s strength was too strong.

“Forbidden Curse — Major Extinction!”

Big Boy wielded his staff with both his hands and energetically spun it around!

Hisss—

An ominous aura engulfed the area. It was as if Eternal Darkness had returned for an instant, plunging the room into a pitch-black state, blinding everyone momentarily.

Around ten gargantuan black holes appeared before Eukana and consumed her HP.

Major Extinction was a Forbidden Curse-level spell available to Dark Wizards. After its use, the user would enter a state of Weakness for at most two days. During that period, the attributes of the user would be reduced by half.

Eukana’s wails continued within the darkness and Li Yi did not waste any time. He activated Heart of a Clear Mirror and entered God Mode as he wildly shot at her.

“Eliminate! Eliminate! Eliminate!”

He had two minutes of zero skill cooldowns, which enabled him to shoot as he pleased. Even his mana level did not concern him as an Advanced-Level Mana Recovery Potion would immediately replenish what was lost.

The fully-powered Li Yi was hitting as fast as Big Boy’s Forbidden Curse. To be able to use unlimited Elimination Arrows was literally the same as exploiting a bug. Big Boy’s DPS was at 60,000 whereas Li Yi’s had already exceeded 100,000...

Eukana’s health depleted rapidly, as Life Drain was no longer able to keep up with the damage. With a horrifying wail, Eukana finally died.

Jiaojiao’s body flashed twice. She had gained two levels!

Big Boy’s body flashed once as he went up a level.

Although Li Yi did not level up, his experience points had reached 7,510. This indicated that the player with the highest level in the party had already reached Level 75!

‘This person is really no joke!’

Autumn Love’s body was sprawled in the bottomless pit. She waited until the battle was over to use soul release. Following that, she ran with all her might towards the Instance Dungeon.

“Please don’t touch anything, just don’t. I’m going to soul run soon, let me loot it this time...”

Major Extinction’s effect had vanished, and Li Yi had canceled God Mode. Casually, Li Yi reset the DPS Statistics Panel as well.

“Why did the DPS Statistics Panel disappear?” asked the startled Big Boy. He wanted to check how high his DPS had reached in the previous battle.

Li Yi kept his mouth shut, not uttering a single word.

With Eukana dead, the poison that coated the metal chains had disappeared. Everybody waited for around ten minutes for Autumn Love to reach the place, huffing and puffing.

Although she did not lose any equipment, she still lost a level, which was quite a significant loss.

“I heard that Missy Autumn has a net worth of over 10,000,000. It’s only a measly 1,000 Gold Coins, why go to such lengths?” Big Boy asked, perplexed.

“Ahemm...Well, we all make mistakes. I didn’t expect her to rattle the chains, sigh.”

Autumn Love was not particularly bothered with her level drop. Instead, she looked at Eukana’s corpse and her eyes gleamed.

“Please be purple. Gimme a purple one please...”

As she murmured to herself, Autumn Love extended her hand to the corpse.

Ding!

[You have obtained Demoness’ Snake Hair x10]

[You have obtained isis’ fang x1]

[You have obtained isis’ sarong x1]

[You have obtained isis’ scale x1]

[You have obtained 29 Gold Coins from the isis’ body.]

[You have obtained Mirror of Amplification from the isis’ body.]

Autumn Love was dumbstruck.

Once again, there was no equipment. They were all trash...

“Well, that wasn’t too bad, since you have one more Gold Coin now,” teased Li Yi.

“My luck sucks, it’s a major loss this time...” Autumn Love showed a pained expression on her face as she took out a peeling knife to butcher the corpse.

Li Yi took the Mirror of Amplification for himself and gave the remainder to Autumn Love.

The Mirror of Amplification was not a piece of equipment, instead, it was a Special Tool that was only usable within Demoness Ruins. Once they left the dungeon, the mirror will automatically disappear.

Mirror of Amplification’s special effect was that it could reflect all damage!

“Brother Dark Wing, do you want that equipment? I won’t allow you to take anything else once you’ve chosen.”

Autumn Love spoke as she peeled the Snake’s skin.

Without a single word, Li Yi tossed the Mirror of Amplification away.

The constant clanking of the metal chains had made it unbearable for them to stand there for long. Li Yi and the others forged ahead, leaving Autumn Love behind to peel the skins.

As they went further, the paths had converged back into a single lane. The isis they met had undergone a change as well, which was obvious from the way they dressed. They were no longer wearing tattered clothing, instead, they wore full body armor and were armed to the teeth. Their names had changed as well. They were no longer called Isis Soldiers and Isis Warriors, instead, they were called Isis Guards, Isis Great Wizards, and Isis Priests.

It wasn’t just a name change. The isis’ ATK had doubled, which increased the difficulty.

The isis had gathered around in groups of ten. If they did not have the Archer’s bug to pull aggro, the eight of them stood no chance at defeating them.

Li Yi and the others had already cleared a bunch of the monsters before Autumn Love came running along. She gave the Mirror of Amplification back to Li Yi.

“I just read that it could only be used in the dungeon. Hehe.”

“Seeing the pile of corpses before her, Autumn Love took out her small knife once more.

Li Yi shook his head in exasperation. It wasn’t a common sight to see such a greedy girl.

Li Yi successfully exploited the bug on several Isis Great Wizards. However, the Isis Great Wizards were long-range attackers. They had retreated until they were close to the metal chains but the isis had still not approached them. As a matter of fact, their gap was quite huge.

The Isis Great Wizards waved their staffs, shooting several huge emerald-colored fireballs toward them. The monsters in the Demoness Ruins had attacks which were on par with bosses. The only difference between them was a slight difference in HP.

The Darkness Shield Warrior had withstood five huge fireballs before perishing. Li Yi dashed ahead and placed the human-sized Mirror of Amplification in front of him, reflecting the Isis Great Wizards’ fireballs.

Pew! Pew!

[−36,542]

[−32,111]

The reflected fireballs had dealt twice the amount of damage, which was greater than what Li Yi’s ultimate skill could do.

“This tool is pretty amazing. Too bad we couldn’t take it out, otherwise...” lamented Big Boy.

“If we could bring it out, it would break the game’s balance. Since it could reflect all the attacks without any cooldown, once someone obtains the mirror, they could just proceed without a care in the world. If someone engages them, they’ll just take out the mirror and reflect it back, hahahaha.” Jiaojiao was bawling with laughter.

“I don’t think that’s possible. Hehe, the item is already addictive enough in the dungeon.” Wang Wang Dumplings added, amused.

As he listened to the conversation, a thought flashed across Li Yi’s mind. ‘If the normal mode guarantees a drop of Mirror of Amplification that could only be used in the dungeon, what about the guaranteed drop from the Eternal Darkness mode? Would it be the same as the normal one?’

‘If they weren’t the same...’

The Isis Great Wizard writhed in agony as Li Yi held up the Mirror of Amplification to reflect it to death.

After half an hour, they had cleared two waves of small monsters. With only a single bug exploiter, their rate of progress would have been slow anyway. However, as the small monsters had been strengthened, the eight of them were already operating their fastest.

“I have around 400 strands of Demoness’ Snake Hair on me. Once we finish this, could we repeat it a few more times? We’ll split the loot based on our needs, I swear I won’t scam you...” Autumn Love negotiated with the party as she looted the corpses.

“Not interested. Once we’re done with this, consider the debt repaid.” Big Boy smiled as he rejected her offer.

Lil Girl nodded her head. She did not owe Autumn Love anything as she only followed Big Boy here.

“Once we’re out of here, he’s dead meat.” God-Killing Gale shook his head as he gave a cold laugh. He had never given up an opportunity to kill Big Boy.

“Brother Gale, calm down, would you? I only joked once with your wife, we never even did anything. Why are you still holding on to this grudge...”

Big Boy had yet to finish his speech when God-Killing Gale howled and lunged forward.

“I’ll kill you!”

‘This punk must’ve flirted with someone’s wife yet again...’

Li Yi scratched his head as he guessed correctly.

“Stop! Continue with your brawl only after we’ve left the dungeon! Stop it! I said stop!”

Li Yi and Autumn Love shouted at the same time, finally calming God-Killing Gale down.

“Brother Gale, calm down. Big Boy has a foul mouth, but you didn’t lose anything right? Why do you need to get yourself this worked up?”

As Li Yi battled the monsters, he made small talk with God-Killing Gale. He felt that although his temper was awful, he had a good character.

“This punk’s words are too awful to listen to. He talked dirty to my wife, &*%%! Wouldn’t you be pissed if this had happened to you?”

“Sure, I’ll be pissed, but I won’t be that pissed...”

Li Yi’s words of wisdom had drained all the anger out of God-Killing Gale.

“He is now affected by weakness. Once we get out of the dungeon, just kill him a few times to let out all your rage. However, you can’t do it now since we’re all here to help Autumn Missy. How could we fight the next battle if you guys started fighting now?”

“Ermm...”

“Oh yeah, what did he say to your wife?”

“Can we not talk about this?” replied God-Killing Gale awkwardly.

“Okay! I’ll stop prying.”
