Chapter 46: Heart of the Fire

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Yi shot an arrow.

"Puff!"

A shroud of black smoke dispersed before the enormous Tyrannosaurus King disappeared. A black reptilian body that was half a meter long was the only thing that remained on the ground.

"It was fake?" Chen Yang was stunned.

It was obviously fake. How would it be possible for a big boss with 66 million HP to appear inside an Instance Dungeon that was not even Level 20?

Without needing Li Yi to explain, Chen Yang then responded quickly. He briefly cursed angrily, saying that it was all a trick. Next, he summoned a Water Spirit to come forward and start fighting.

Dardanelle only had 50 thousand HP left. Its attack style focused on close combat but it could not use Charge. As long as you increased the distance between yourself and Dardanelle, it would be forced to suffer your attacks.

The battle was easily solved within a few minutes. When Dardanelle only had about 2000 HP left, it arched its claws and admitted defeat.

Chen Yang guffawed. "That Dwarf King can really boast, huh."

A treasure chest appeared on the ground. It was their reward for clearing the level.

Li Yi and Chen Yang both said, "You should open it."

"Okay, let’s see what we can unlock."

Chen Yang rubbed his hands together and went forward to touch the treasure chest.

System Notification: [You have obtained Fury of the Tyrannosaurus King Scroll x3.]

"What’s this?" Chen Yang looked through the effects of the scroll and was suddenly speechless.

[Fury of the Tyrannosaurus King Scroll, consumable, may increase one’s own physique when used, HP limit +10, duration of 1 hour.]

"Isn’t this too trashy?"

"It’s not bad, we can use it to enlarge ourselves and fool around in the city if we don’t have anything better to do."

The system had automatically divided one scroll to each person equally.

"Young Heroes, you’ve really surprised me by actually having the ability to defeat the strengthened Tyrannosaurus King in such a short time. Oh, my beloved Dardanelle."

The Dwarf King, Vladimir appeared again. He lamented first before he finally nodded and acknowledged the strength of these three people.

"There’s a Heart of the Fire nearby. That’s a magic weapon that Ivrit uses to control the Fire Dwarfs. As long as you crush that evil heart, that’ll cause all of the Fire Dwarfs here to stop moving. Go! Heroes, our god Aladdin blesses you."

Vladimir vanished as the scene before their eyes changed again — the trio had returned to the Fire Plains once again. In front of them and not far from where they were, there was an enormous Flaming Heart nearby that was constantly beating.

The Flaming Heart’s HP was displayed as 400 thousand!

"Crush the heart and this dungeon will be cleared."

Li Yi drew his bow and shot an arrow while Chen Yang and Fire Ice moved forward together. Then, they surrounded the Flaming Heart before striking it violently.

The Flaming Heart could not attack but could only shoot flames outward when it was assaulted. However, since Li Yi and the two others belonged to the ranged class, these sputtering flames could not injure them.

"Despicable creatures, I’m going to crush your hearts!"

A dwarf, whose entire body was burning with flames appeared. He waved a sledgehammer in his hand and rushed towards Li Yi whose Aggro Meter was the highest.

"You guys should focus only on dealing damage while I’ll pull Aggro."

Li Yi did not attack the Fire Dwarf. Instead, he shot towards the Flaming Heart continuously. He waited until the Fire Dwarf charged forward only did he start to move, using the Leap method to dodge the Fire Dwarf.

"Despicable creature, face the fury of my god Ivrit!"

Another Fire Dwarf appeared and rushed towards Li Yi as well.

A Fire Dwarf would appear every 20 seconds. Moreover, if a Fire Dwarf was killed, two more would automatically appear the next time they spawned.

Although there were three people, Li Yi was the only one who was mainly responsible for dealing DPS in reality.

In comparison to Li Yi’s damage output, Chen Yang and Fire Ice’s damage output could barely be considered as half of his when they were added together.

Though neither were they faced with the same type of pressure. Two of them stood on the same spot without having to move at all as they only had to focus on attacking. Meanwhile, Li Yi jumped around while being tailed by a group of Fire Dwarfs. He would get smashed by the sledgehammer whenever he was careless and instantly lose one-third of his HP.

"Ice, you heal Brother Yi while I fight." Chen Yang could see that an issue had risen.

"No need, you guys put all your effort into dealing with damage. Don’t worry about me."

Li Yi drank a bottle of Red Potion before his HP slowly rose back up.

The Red Potion’s Cooldown time was 2 minutes. In other words, Li Yi could not run into a monster at all for the next 2 minutes.

The Flaming Heart’s HP continued to decrease. Despite being pursued by a group of Fire Dwarfs, Li Yi was still able to continuously proceed with the damage output.

When the Flaming Heart’s HP decreased to 10%, the number of Fire Dwarfs behind Li Yi had already surpassed more than a hundred. If he came in contact with a monster now, he would definitely suffer an instant kill.

However, he was unable to continue with the output now as the Aggro of three Fire Dwarfs shifted before they ran towards Chen Yang.

"Water Spirit Guardian, stand firm. We’ll clear this as long as you don’t die."

Li Yi whistled and summoned a Mutated Small Wild Boar to fight the three Fire Dwarfs beside Chen Yang.

Although Chen Yang’s operational skills were unlike Li Yi’s, he certainly did not belong to the noob level. Conversely, if he was used as an example, his operational skills were considerably sharp.

Chen Yang did not call the Water Spirit Guardian back but used the Innate Ability, Instant Slip-Away instead. He slipped off and appeared in front of Li Yi instantly. He ran a few rounds with Li Yi to allow the three Fire Dwarfs Aggro to be shifted back immediately.

"Beautifully done!"

Li Yi’s line of praise caused Chen Yang’s mouth to instantly grin from ear to ear.

"I... That... Sharp, huh, ah ah—"

Fatty was over the moon. As such, he did not pay attention to the front and nearly crashed into the Flaming Heart. The sputtering flames sprayed against his face and instantly burned more than half of his HP.

Fatty was an all-rounder. He was loyal and had enough friends, but one should never praise him as his head would be in the clouds once he was praised.

"Sharp, huh. Tall Tall, you’re too sharp." Fire Ice kept a straight face and raised her thumb towards Chen Yang. However, she reversed it and pointed it downwards after that.

Chen Yang’s face reddened. He stubbornly refused to admit his mistake and retorted, "Powerhouses also have moments of error."

...

On the other side, Li Yi continued to deal with damage. He used Freezing Trap and Resounding Shot alternately while maintaining a certain distance between the Fire Dwarfs and himself on the whole.

Chen Yang performed extraordinarily when he was mocked by Fire Ice. His personality was like this — he would deteriorate when he was praised but would become stronger when he was scolded and mocked instead...

The Water Spirit continued to deal with damage while Chen Yang did not slack either. He ran to approach the Flaming Heart before he moved about and attacked furiously while the flames sputtered.

"Retreat quickly, the heart is going to explode soon."

Li Yi yelled hastily before Chen Yang used an Instant Slip-Away and slid to a faraway area immediately. He was staring at the heart’s HP all along as well.

"Bang!"

The Flaming Heart erupted, which caused the nearby Fire Dwarfs to collapse on the ground in quick succession. The Heart of the Fire Dungeon was finally cleared!

The kill this time was not the first kill. The first kill of the Heart of the Fire Dungeon was taken by a little party called the Platinum Hand that was not famous.

"Ice, you should open it and take a look."

A treasure chest appeared at their feet. Li Yi gestured towards Fire Ice and allowed her to open it.

Fatty’s luck and his own were almost the same. Perhaps a good item would appear if they briefly changed hands.

Fire Ice stepped forward and opened the treasure chest.

System Notification:

[You have obtained Fire Magic Crystal x5.]

[You have obtained Fire Spirit Strengthening Skill Tome.]

...

"Nothing else?" Li Yi was stunned.

The Fire Magic Crystals and Frost Pearls that were derived from the Frost Labyrinth Dungeon were one of a kind and were considered as guaranteed drops. Whereas the Fire Spirit Strengthening Skill Tome was not that bad as Fatty could coincidentally use it...

"Give the Fire Spirit Strengthening Skill Tome to Fatty. I don’t want the Magic Crystals, so the both of you can divide it among yourselves."

Li Yi returned from the dungeon empty-handed this time.

At that moment, his private chat message chimed. It was sent from Delicately Cute.

"The guild is fighting Fire Beasts, do you have time?"

Delicately Cute’s tone was extremely polite.

Li Yi was slightly startled before he replied, "Yes!"
