Chapter 229 - The Goddess of Hurricane’s Rage

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Yi attacked and evaded as his mind wandered back to his past life...

He recalled in his past life party members started to die one after the other as Varian started to ambush them. He was the last man standing. At that time, Varian had about 50,000 HP left and the situation was very dire. It was Li Yi who performed extraordinarily well as he successfully pulled off a series of combos that he had never succeeded before even after trying countless times.

“F*ck this. We’ve been wiped out for more than 30 times and the repair fees are reaching one hundred Gold Coins. Let’s just disband the party.”

Li Yi was the last man standing and the party leader Xiao Changfeng was unwilling to carry on. All party members had released their souls under his leadership and they gathered at the entrance of the Instance Dungeon.

“Give it up, Dark Wing. Let us get back to our corpses and abandon this raid.”

“F*cking hell. Did you not hear me telling you to give up? Who do you think you are? You’re not a main tank nor a healer. You’re just a Thief. The boss still has 50,000 HP remaining and it’s impossible for you to win against it. Just give up quickly and not waste everyone’s time, alright?”

Xiao Changfeng scolded Li Yi openly at the entrance of the Instance Dungeon (No one was allowed to enter when the battle against the boss was still ongoing). Instead of losing heart, Li Yi became calmer than before. He used Bandage and the Finishing Blow to forcefully whittle down Varian’s remaining 50,000 HP and defeated the boss.

Xiao Changfeng and the rest were outside of the Instance Dungeon when it happened. They stood there for a long time before they were allowed into the Instance Dungeon after receiving news that the boss had died.

Although the party distribution system was set to Roll, the Windstorm Platform’s map was too huge and it would take them at least half an hour for them to reach the final boss’ location from the entrance of the Instance Dungeon. The system ruled that if there were no party members nearby for more than five minutes, the items on the floor would be free to loot. It would belong to whoever looted it and there was no need to Roll for it.

The Wind Sword was supposed to belong to Li Yi. Unfortunately, everyone disregarded it and revealed their nasty side and insisted that it should be decided by Rolling.

Li Yi was in a dilemma back then. To be fair, everyone would feel so if they were in their shoes.

‘They had all given up and this item should belong to me. Why should I Roll the item with everyone else?’

‘Whatever. Everyone in the party had contributed to the defeat of the boss. He decided to Roll it.’

Two thoughts clashed against each other in Li Yi’s mind. It was at this moment that Wind-on-Snow spoke up out of the blue, took the Wind Sword away from Li Yi and went offline...

Thud! Thud!

[-18567]

[-19567]

The incredibly high damage numbers kept popping up above Varian’s head as the party members that had fallen stared in shock.

“What is that skill...”

“The God of Archery is way too overpowered!”

“You can do it Dark Wing! Buckle up!” Xiao Changfeng screamed.

“Will you shut up? Don’t interrupt him!” The usually gentle Wind-on-Snow opened her mouth and shushed her brother.

“You... pfft.” Xiao Changfeng mumbled and stopped speaking.

While 15,000,000 HP seemed like a lot of HP, Li Yi was not fazed by it at all. Although there was no healer to heal him, The Violent Bear King was there to share the damage with him. Furthermore, he also had Advanced-Level HP Potions to keep himself alive. This plan was entirely possible due to his high max HP.

“Feel my pain!”

Varian opened up his hands wide when his HP was down to 5,000,000. He then started swallowing the air and blew them out in one shot.

It was an area-wide skill, the Rage of Windstorm!

Li Yi’s HP kept dropping and was almost depleted in a blink of an eye. As he was about to die, he screamed. “Violent Bear’s Protection!”

A gold light radiated from his body and his HP was fully recovered in an instant back to 18500.

[-25768]

[-26788]

Li Yi’s ATK was increased further and the numbers that appeared on top of Varian’s head was close to 30,000 which made his HP drop even faster.

He had survived the toughest part, which was the Rage of Windstorm. Varian was no longer a threat to Li Yi and Varian screamed in agony as his soul dispersed five minutes later...

“All hail the mighty Guild Master Dark Wing!”

“Guild Master Dark Wing you’re awesome!”

“I love you Guild Master Dark Wing. I regret that I was not born as a female or else I will definitely offer you my body...”

“F*ck off. Is this how you flatter somebody? Guild Master Dark Wing, we salute you!”

Everyone had received a message as Varian was defeated.

[Your party is the first to clear the Windstorm Platform in Hell Mode. This incident is recorded in the Hall of Fame...]

Although they had died multiple times, all the losses endured were paid back as they had obtained a Hall of Fame record.

“Guild Master Dark Wing will loot the boss later. Please wait for us to come back...” Xiao Changfeng was the first one to release his soul and started running to his corpse...

Everyone released their soul and ran into the Instance Dungeon. Li Yi was uneasy as he prayed hard for a long time. Eventually, he gritted his teeth as he went up to loot the boss.

Ding!

A virtual item panel appeared in front of him and there were a total of five equipment shown inside.

There were four gold equipment and one purple equipment!

Li Yi did not even bother with the gold equipment as he stared at the purple equipment. He was completely dumbfounded.

[The Goddess of Hurricane’s Rage (purple grade)]

[Equipment Level: Level 35]

[ATK: 1000 – 2000]

[STR +50]

[CON +50]

[AGI +50]

[ATK SPD: 0.3s (Extreme Speed)]

[Special Effect: Has a 50% chance to stun your target.]

[Special Effect: movement speed increases by 15%. ATK SPD increases by 15%. All Skills (including Special Skills) cooldown is reduced by 50%.]

[Note: This is the Goddess of Hurricane Maylia’s beloved weapon. The power of the wind flows on the sword and would bring out frightening power when it is swung.]

...

It appeared. It really appeared...

Li Yi stood still like an idiot. It felt like everything was a dream.

Although there was a slight discrepancy of incidents between this life and the past, there were still a few things that had not changed. Li Yi had looted the Wind Sword in his past life and he had done the same thing in this life as well. While the process was different, the result was... completely identical!

“You can’t run from fate. The regrets from the past life shall be corrected in this life. Fate works in funny ways...”

Li Yi smiled helplessly in a bittersweet manner. He unbounded the Fire Devil’s Emblem off the Ring of Windstorms and bounded it onto the Wind Sword.

The Wind Sword would become his personal item by doing so.

Roll of those bunch? He had no interest in doing that at all. He did not plan to share this sword with anyone else, regardless even if Wind-on-Snow would do what she did in the past life.

‘This is my item and no one can ever take it away from me!’

Li Yi had planned for this from the very beginning. Who was qualified to loot the boss in the party? It could only be him. He would let this bunch Roll if they wanted to. It would be ideal if he won the Roll but he would openly tell them that the Wind Sword was bounded to him the moment it was picked up. “I’m sorry. This item has bounded automatically and I can’t give it to you...”

One must look out for oneself or the heaven and earth would gather to destroy them. Li Yi was no saint as he, too, had selfish motives...

Xiao Changfeng and the rest took 40 minutes to reach Li Yi.

“We’re all here, Guild Master Dark Wing. You can go and loot the boss now.” Anxiety was written all over Xiao Changfeng’s face.

“That’s right. You should open it. You’ve contributed the most to the success of clearing this Instance Dungeon. We’ve all decided that you should have the privilege to pick the item first, no matter what is dropped. We’ll just take the leftovers haha.”

“That’s right, Guild Master Dark Wing. The equipment distribution shall be your sole discretion and we won’t have any complaints about it!”

“I have no complaints as well...”

“Me too...”

All party members expressed their opinions.

Li Yi sneered at their ignorance in his head as he nodded indifferently. “Alright, then I’ll loot the boss now.”

Li Yi rubbed his hands pretentiously as he put on an anticipatory look while he advanced to loot the boss.

As the virtual item panel appeared in front of every party members, all of them were shocked.

“What the f*ck! What the f*ck! What the f*ck!” Xiao Changfeng cursed three times. He started shivering as he stared at the Wind Sword.

“Uhm. Let’s have everyone roll for it, Guild Master Dark Wing.”

“This needs to be Rolled. No one has the right to simply keep an Epic-Level equipment. It would be hard to please everyone if we don’t roll for this. Isn’t that right, Guild Master Dark Wing?”

“That’s right. It’s an Epic-Level equipment. The crowd won’t be pleased if we don’t Roll for it. I agree to Roll as well.”

Jiaojiao was unhappy. “Roll your balls. Who was the one that said that equipment distribution will be decided by Li Yi? Why did your opinion change the moment you saw a good item has dropped? Don’t you guys have any shame?”

“I won’t have any complaints on how the normal equipment is distributed. However, this is an Epic-Level equipment. How can the party be satisfied if Guild Master Dark Wing doesn’t give others a fair chance?

“That’s right. How can you compare normal equipment to an Epic-Level equipment? The result will be the same if this is brought up in the forums. Naturally, this is what people will say when the whole ordeal is over. I believe the Guild Master Dark Wing with such a status wouldn’t try to rip us off.”

The party members were discussing heatedly among themselves. Everyone except for Wind-on-Snow and Xiao Changfeng, who did not speak at all had voiced out that who would own the Wind Sword should be determined by Rolling!

“Sister, please help your brother out just this once. Dark Wing is filled with uber legendary equipment from head to toe. I’m sure he doesn’t want this Wind Sword. Since you have a very good relationship with him, can you try and persuade him to give the Wind Sword directly to me. I beg you, my sister...”

Xiao Changfeng was secretly sending messages to Wind-on-Snow as he lowered his voice to beg her.

“I’m not his girlfriend and I don’t think I have the right to do it.”

“You’re not his girlfriend? Are you planning to lie to your brother as well? That bastard... he touched you right before my very eyes and you dare to say that you’re not his girlfriend? Answer me, are you willing to help your brother out or not?”

“Brother. I can’t help you with this. In my opinion, that sword should belong to Dark Wing and it is his decision to how it should be distributed. I won’t participate in this and please don’t force me.”

“When did I force you? Although our parents have divorced and we were separated since young, have you forgotten who was the one who cherished you the most? Who was the one who stood up for you when you were bullied? Who was the one who stole sweets for you when you wanted them and we had no money to buy them? Who was it for that I was beaten black and blue by others?”

“Stop it, brother. I don’t have the right to participate in this. I suggest that you to voice out openly that this sword belongs to Dark Wing so that they won’t fight over it. This is beneficial to you.”

“You... you’re secretly helping him. So much for doting on you since young. You’ve forgotten how I treated you, now that you have a boyfriend. I’ve really doted on you for nothing.”

Since Xiao Changfeng was not able to persuade his sister. He gently cleared his throat and spoke to Li Yi. “Guild Master Dark Wing, since everyone wants to decide by Rolling, let’s just follow the majority. What do you say?”

Li Yi just stood there without showing any emotion and no one knew what was going through his head.

“God damn it. This is my first time encountering c*nts like you all. You people can’t hold a candle against the boss and would go back on your words the moment a good item is dropped. How disgusting.”

“I want to look at this sword Dark Wing. Do you mind letting me have a look?” Jiaojiao walked towards him out of the blue as she reached out her hand at Li Yi.
