Chapter 397: The Almighty Orange Bow

Li Yi’s next target was Alex. He swiftly shot three Piercing Arrows to prevent him from using Invincibility.
“Fuse!”
Li Yi was calculative. Instead of using the powerful Elimination Arrow, he opted to use Piercing Arrow that although weaker, could reduce the opponent’s buffs. However, Alex was no slouch. After all, he defeated Pale Blue Elegance, the owner of the Dragon of Windstorms in Li Yi’s previous life. As such, he commanded a certain level of skill.
Before Piercing Arrow had struck him, Alex’s body morphed into a ray of crimson light that permeated into Giant Frost Tiger.
It was a Fusion!
Fusing with one’s pet was the ace in the hole of the Contract Summoners.
Each of Giant Frost Tiger’s stats shot up. Their fusion would last for five minutes and at that time, Alex was Giant Frost Tiger and Giant Frost Tiger was Alex!
Giant Frost Tiger’s HP was now at 5,000,000. Although it was no Scarab King, it possessed long-range ice attacks that were able to slow and freeze. To be frank, they were a pain to deal with.
After their fusion, Giant Frost Tiger now possessed 5,100,000 HP, which was 10,000 more than its previous value. Furthermore, its attack had also increased. As observed, Fuse was not called the Contract Summoners’ greatest attack for nothing.
Giant Frost Tiger opened up its maw to unleash Frost Arrow Storm, forcing Li Yi to divert his attention from Alex and to target the yellow-robed Priest instead.
With the first arrow, his shirt shattered!
The second arrow shattered his pants instead!
The third one stole his headgear!
...
The yellow-robed Priest suffered a similar fate as Amber Sword Heart. His equipment had been blown to bits before he had even got a chance to heal himself...
Nevertheless, he was always less fortunate than Amber Sword Heart and it was no different this time as two pieces of equipment dropped off at his death.
By utilizing Rocket Propellant, Li Yi was now one step ahead of Alex. He picked up two of the equipment and immediately launched an offensive against Alex!
“Crippling Shot!”
Boom!
Cracks formed on the surface of Giant Frost Tiger where the arrow had landed.
“Chain Arrow Skill!”
Boom! Boom!
More cracks began to form where the arrow had landed on Giant Frost Tiger.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Each of Li Yi’s arrows was faster than the last and he continued his offense as he pushed onward. The combo counter above Giant Frost Tiger began to rack up and in no time at all, the tiger had already lost all capability to defend itself.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
During the gaps in the assault, he gulped down a bottle of Advanced-level Mana Recovery Potion to replenish his mana. Then, he continued to rack up his combos.
With each arrow hit, cracks formed on the body of Giant Frost Tiger. Despite having no armor, its DEF was rapidly declining!
On Li Yi’s 11th combo, his timing was off by 0.1 seconds, which stopped his attack cold.
[−1,063,222]
The golden damage counter appeared above Giant Frost Tiger’s head. The 21 arrows had dealt nearly 1,100,000 damage!
After Contract Summoners had fused with their pets, their summoned pets were no different than wild monsters. In other words, the boosts provided by equipment had come into play and it was the reason that enabled Li Yi to deal such a tremendous amount of damage.
Giant Frost Tiger had regained its freedom and it immediately pounced towards Li Yi. Like a hedgehog, it shot out several icicles toward him.
“Icicle!”
[−5,986]
The skill would immediately freeze its target if it landed. However, Alex had miscalculated.
Icicle had an attack radius of 20 yards. However, due to the narrow pathway, Li Yi was unable to dodge and was hit by the Icicle. Despite that, he was not frozen. It only slowed him down a little and the effect was also quickly nullified.
Boom!
“Crippling Shot!”
Wind Sword had cut down Li Yi’s skill cooldown’s by half. Coupled with Li Yi’s Level 20 skills, his cooldowns were now extremely short, and it also played a part in Li Yi’s logic-defying 21 arrow combo.
Since the Icicles had failed, Giant Frost Tiger was helpless towards Li Yi’s offense once more. In Li Yi’s eyes, Giant Frost Tiger was nothing more than a sandbag and it served the sole purpose of honing his combo attacks.
The reason Li Yi was not frozen was because of the resistive buffs provided by Heart of a Clear Mirror that lowered abnormal status from proccing by 50%. Simply put, Li Yi’s rate of being afflicted by abnormal statuses was half of the normal players’!
Without any gimmicks left, Alex who was now Giant Frost Tiger was no match for Li Yi. Although Li Yi was unable to launch 21 combos anymore, after a 3 combo attack that dealt 1,000,000 each, Alex had perished within the minute.
In this confrontation, Li Yi had easily mopped the floor with them. It had not even been two minutes and better still... Li Yi had not resorted to any pets this time.
Pretty Good Mood, Jiaojiao, and Pale Blue Elegance were awestruck by Li Yi’s prowess.
“Godlike...” The three of them cried in unison.
Li Yi smiled as he flashed the orange bow in his hands. The triumph over Amber Sword Heart this time was all due to the special effects of the newly unleashed seal.

[Armor Strip (special effect): For every arrow landed, the target’s M-DEF and P-DEF will be lowered by a-tenth of its former value. After ten arrows, the target’s DEF is effectively zero. If you continue to attack the target, their M-DEF and P-DEF values will become negative. (Each attack will cause a decrease of 1%). The effect can be maintained for 1 minute.

[Special Effect: Armor Strip!]
In truth, ever since Hunter Goddess had resided on the orange bow, Li Yi’s orange bow was already different from Shoot Until Daybreak’s orange bow from his previous life.
Both God Mode and the newly learned Armor Strip were different from Shoot Until Daybreak’s.
Li Yi remembered that Shoot Until Daybreak’s orange bow had Guard Break as its third special effect. Its ability was to lower down its target’s P-DEF and M-DEF by 30%. Although it only required an arrow to achieve its goal, its practicality paled in comparison to Armor Strip.
By stripping opponents of their equipment, it not only lowered their DEF, but it had also made their ATK negligible.
Without their equipment, his opponents would be naked on the battlefield. Although it only lasted for a minute and it could not be used limitlessly, for an expert, one minute, no, ten seconds could already decide the outcome of the battle.
An OP effect like that would only appear on Legendary weapons and never on Epic-level weapons.
Amber Sword Heart, Alex, and the yellow-robed Priest had all died in a similar fashion. They were left without any equipment and there were only clad in beginner’s boxers protecting their nether regions...
This time around, Li Yi did not activate Soul Bind.
“How scary is this... He slaughtered a main tank and put down a 5,000,000 HP summoned beast...” Pretty Good Mood was so agitated that his face flushed red.
“You’re the most OP person within King of Pantheon.” Even Jiaojiao was impressed.
“When can I reach your level? Sigh, I need to work harder.” Pale Blue Elegance gave a faint sigh.
Li Yi smirked, “There’s still a way for me to go. There are plenty of other OP people around here.”
“I don’t believe you, not even if you killed me.” Pretty Good Mood yelled out.
“You’ll understand once you participate in the God Wars.” Without any further elaboration, Li Yi caressed his orange bow as he thought back on the God Wars in his past life.
“Let’s go, they won’t dare to cross us anymore.”
The Dark Elementals had respawned, but Li Yi had left the area.
Amber Sword Heart and his party did not corpse run to revive themselves. Instead, they unanimously chose to revive back at the city. Being killed continuously by Li Yi had shattered their ego.
They lost in a solo battle and lost in a 1 against 3 battle. The results of the matches today had crushed their pride.
“Perverted Wing, the orange bow’s special effects are indeed terrifying. Sigh, I kinda regret changing into a Black Paladin.” Jiaojiao checked the stats of the orange bow and held her greatsword glumly.
Jiaojiao was the only one within the entirety of King of Pantheon that was able to discern the true stats of Li Yi’s equipment. Anyone else who attempted to spy on it would receive a mixture of real and fake info, which was the handiwork of the stacked effects of Trickery Ring and Divine Looking Glass.
Simply put, Li Yi decided who could see his stats.
“Your Lord of Disaster isn’t any weaker than my orange bow. As a matter of fact, they’re of the same tier. I’d say that their only difference would lie in how the wielder uses them.”
“Are you serious?”
“Of course. Can’t you see there are a bunch of empty special effect slots? If you work hard and unlock them, you’ll see what I mean.”
“Does it have Armor Strip as well?”
“I’ll be damned if I know...”
“F*ck, don’t you dare lie to me, Lil Yi.”
“What do I stand to gain by lying to you?”
“You said that my Lord of Disaster is on par with your Orange Bow, but you don’t even know what its special effects are. How isn’t that lying?”
“That doesn’t even make any sense. All I said was that they’re of the same tier and if you unlock it properly, it would definitely be on par with my orange bow...”
“Blablabla, eat this!” Jiaojiao swung her greatsword at Li Yi’s butt. Ever since her Lord of Disaster had enlarged, her favorite pastime had become smacking Li Yi’s butt.
“Don’t blame this on me!”
Li Yi nimbly dodged the greatsword and dragged Jiaojiao into a hallway. Then, he launched a fury of attacks on her.
“Armor Strip! Armor Strip! Armor Strip! Armor Strip! Armor Strip!”
“Noo, you pervert! Stop shooting at me... Not my face, please. Uwwuu it hurts...”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Accompanying Jiaojiao’s shrieks was the sounds of her shattering armor, piece by piece...
