Cerberus’ Darkness Flame would increase multiple fold as time went on and this was a fixed damage value in which DEF and class were ignored. The amount of HP that dropped was equally the same.
All damage-reduction skills and Invincibility were useless against Cerberus’ Darkness Flame…
“Pft!”
In a split-second, Li Yi tore open a Shrinking Scroll to shrink the bodies of all party members.
Cerberus’ Darkness Flame was dissociable, so when the body turned small, the interval between Darkness Flames would be longer.
“Go!”
25 Thumbelinas encircled Cerberus to launch an attack.
With their bodies shrunk to thumb-size, their attributes would be lower too and although they were unable to cause high damage, they were relatively safer.
Spewing Darkness Flame at random, the three dog heads gasped for air after a round of howling. Its Darkness Flame may be horrific, but sustained flames would exhaust Darkness Flame within its tummy. If it wanted to spew more, it has to wait until it stored up for a bit.
“Dispel!”
Pft pft pft pft!
Priests were going at it, dispelling their shrunken state of their party members the quickest they could.
“Go!”
While Cerberus was still catching its breath, Li Yi ordered the party to open fire.
Blasted with various big moves, Cerberus’s HP has dropped by 10% once it regained its momentum.
“Aoooo—”
Cerberus vaulted up and leaped into the crowd, swiping one of its paws. Three fellow members who did not manage to dodge in time were slammed into the ground and had their HP reduced by half.
“Wham! Wham! Wham!”
At rapid velocity, Cerberus scuttled and leaped, swiping its paws repeatedly. Ten seconds later, all 24 members, excluding Li Yi who was suspended in midair under God Mode, were buried into the ground, their heads popping out of the dirt.
“Aooo aooo, huuuu tsh huuuu tsh…”
Jumping to a distance, the three dog heads tilted up and prepared to blast the 24 heads with Darkness Flame.
“Overlord Arrow!”
In the split-second when the three dog heads were about to spurt Darkness Flame, Li Yi fired an arrow.
“Bp!”
With the golden arrow a bull’s eye on one of the dog’s heads, the words Skill Interruption popped up and exploded with a boom…
[-986543]
“Shhiuuu—”
Chief-level monsters were different from players. If players had their skill interrupted, their attack would not do damage but for Chief-level monsters, whether or not their skill was interrupted, their attack would still do damage.
Darkness Flame spewed out but in a different direction instead. It headed for Li Yi instead of the 24 heads…
Hunter Goddess flapped her wings and dragged Li Yi across the sky, dodging the three intertwining Darkness Flame with ease.
Ever since this weak-*ss goddess’ ability materialized, her IQ grew altogether. Now, she did not have to wait for Li Yi to issue orders to recognize danger and reacted within reason.
“Overlord Arrow!”
Li Yi only used Overlord Arrow to tackle Cerberus as not only did the damage it dealt was incredibly high, the aggro was insane as well. With continuous use of this move, even Pantheon’s No. 1 Tank God, Amber Sword Heart would not be able to pull aggro away from Li Yi.
A skill guaranteed to pull aggro, Li Yi rarely used Overlord Arrow against bosses when in a team but only brought out its full potential during solos.
“Shhhiiuuu pft —”
Spurting Darkness Flame at Li Yi, the 24 heads on the ground were now at the back of Cerberus’ mind. It was focused on taking down that annoying fly in the sky.
“Overlord Arrow!”

Hunter Goddess may be weak-*ss at times, but she was proving herself against Cerberus the Chief-level monster, carrying Li Yi to the left, then to the right, up and suddenly down, evading Darkness Flame each time.
At the strike of each Overlord Arrow, Skill Interruption kept popping up together with damage at million in value. Even with an astonishingly high HP, Cerberus was unable to withstand Li Yi’s powerful attacks.
90%… 80%… 70%…
An unexpected turn of events happened when Li Yi managed to lower Cerberus’ HP to around 30%.
He has been in control of the ATK range, cautious not to startle Ice Queen and Mermaid Princess. However, Cerberus was not going to let him have it his way. Like a cat on hot bricks, or in this case, like a dog on hot bricks, Cerberus was growing anxious after continually missing Li Yi.
Bouncing up and down, Cerberus managed to bump onto Ice Queen.
Dark Ice appeared out of the blue in the sky, solidifying in an instant and thrusting towards Li Yi.
Cursing under his breath, Li Yi had trouble fighting just one dog and now he has to deal with Ice Queen too.
Hunter Goddess swiftly dragged him to fly towards the back.
The duration of God Mode almost over, yet there was a Mermaid Princess around here. The consequence would be direr should all three darkness creatures be triggered.
Li Yi kited Ice Queen and Cerberus as he fired shots, attempting to separate these two darkness creatures away from Mermaid Princess.
Li Yi still could not wrap his mind on the reason why the System determined that Mermaid Princess was more powerful than Onyxia but he trusted that the System would not be wrong. Mermaid Princess must possess such power.
As such, these three darkness creatures must not be triggered together…
The 24 party members’ heads were bobbing back and forth. They were trying their earnest to break free from the ground…
Li Yi consumed a bottle of Mana Spring to blast Cerberus with Overlord Arrows.
Now with Ice Queen around, Li Yi was feeling the pressure. Different from Cerberus, Ice Queen could fly and at a high speed too, allowing this thing to close in on him in the air.
The fluttering dark snow decreased Li Yi’s SPD and HP, turning the situation dangerous.
“Come on, Guild Master…”
“Come on, Guild Master…”
“Come on, Lil Yi’zi…”
Jerking their heads violently, there was nothing they could do apart from watching the battle and cheering Li Yi on.
“Overlord Arrow!”
Bp bp bp bp…
Li Yi was giving his all to exhaust his mana and reduce Cerberus’ HP in the quickest time possible while Hunter Goddess was still around.
With Ice Queen present, the impactful damage followed by Overlord Arrow’s Skill Interruption was now sustained by both darkness creatures.
[-654332]
[-764422]
Ice Queen could not compare to Cerberus in terms of DEF but she was beyond Cerberus when it when to ability.
With Hunter Goddess’ existence fading away, the SPD carrying Li Yi gradually turned slower. This meant that God Mode was about to come to an end.
“Head down!”
Li Yi issued an order, prompting Hunter Goddess to shout in response and gathered the last ounce of her strength to send him to the ground.
Goddess disappeared upon landing but Li Yi did miss a beat as he took the interval while Cerberus was harnessing Darkness Flame, to initiate Rocket Propellant.
He sprinted to under Cerberus’ belly to avoid Ice Queen’s Frost Magic.
His movements were restricted without Hunter Goddess. He would not be able to keep up with Ice Queen, let alone Cerberus. His action to sneak under the dog’s belly was a risky one but without many options, he had to risk it or face death.
“Overlord Arrow!”
The HP bar displayed on Cerberus was now at 15% but Li Yi was not aiming at it. Instead, he had his eyes on Dark Ice Queen in the sky.
Bp! Skill Interruption!
[-1021234]
As the distance between Dark Ice Queen and Cerberus was more than 30 yards, the damage from Li Yi’s shot was not split.
With Frost Arrows hammering down, Cerberus took the brunt of them all but as it belonged to the same camp as Ice Queen, it did not suffer any damage.
“Aooo aoooo!”
Cerberus leaped up and down, moving as swift as lightning, swiping its paws at Li Yi.
Li Yi activated Wind Shield’s Protection, dodging to the left and right. There were a good few times he was almost clawed by the dog paws but managed to avert disaster at the last call by maneuvering under the dog’s belly.
A heart-pounding moment. Just a tiny bit more and he would be done for…
“Overlord Arrow!”
Li Yi lifted his arms to fire at Dark Ice Queen.
Huffing and puffing, Cerberus was tried from all that jumping. It paused for a while after each session of jumping about.
Dark Ice Queen’s attacks were chaotic but it has its weakness. Her attacks could only travel vertically or descend from the sky or she would harness Ice Spear to stab. By hiding under the dog’s belly, staying out of harm’s way was easy.
“Eliminate!”
Tst —
When Dark Ice Queen’s HP was dawdling at 3%, Li Yi fired an Elimination Arrow with a pft, turning Dark Ice Queen into a streak of black smoke that curled towards Chen Yang…
“One’s dead!” Someone in the party cried out.
“Overlord Arrow!”
“Bp!”
“Aoooo…”
At a whimper, Cerberus too was defeated.
Li Yi alone took down two darkness creatures and they both were at Legendary-level…
“OMG, is this for real?”
“N-no way…”
“F*ck me…”
“Motherf*cker!”
The 24 heads were bobbing even harder now…
Wiping away his sweat, Li Yi himself was in disbelief after taking out two darkness creatures…
Li Yi walked towards the 24 carrots planted in the ground, and its harvest time…
The first carrot he planned to pluck was Ouyang Qian.
“What… What are you trying to do?” Watching as Li Yi walked closer while snickering, Ouyang Qian was on pins and needles.
“I’m rescuing you. How are you going to come out if I don’t save you?”
“Oh, how do you plan on… Ouch…”
Li Yi got a good grip of Ouyang’s face with both hands and gave it a tight pull, prompting the latter to scream out in pain. For a realistic experience in the game, Qian’er has always set the pain sensory to maximum.
Li Yi gave it a good tug three times which made Qian’er ache three times as well. Yet, the carrot remained buried in the ground, without budging one bit.
Li Yi could do nothing, “It isn’t ripe, I can’t pull it out.
“Oh, right!”
Li Yi took out an Engineered Cable and tied it around Ouyang Qian’s fair neck.
“You’ll be out with a good pull.”
“No!”
