Chapter 857: Dead or Alive

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There were two Orange Quality Weapons on the Death God’s Wheel, and their allure was far too great. Everyone wanted a go at it, and they fought over it among themselves. No one was willing to step back.

In the end, Li Yi suggested, “Let’s roll for these.”

After an intense rolling process, the order was finally decided. A male Orc Wizard had the highest points, and he had earned the right to roll the Death God’s Wheel.

Had the order of rolling the wheel not been decided via the rolling of dice, the next person to spin the wheel would undoubtedly be Li YI.

Tap...tap...tap...

The Death God’s Wheel began to spin, and just as Li Yi had expected, it had landed on the skull icon.

Tch—

The Orc Wizard’s soul was spirited away by the red-robed spirit, and he was pronounced dead by the system.

The wheel had now taken two lives!

At that moment, the players who were fighting one after another for the right to spin had finally calmed down. They exchanged glances, and none of them spoke a single word.

Li Yi asked once more. “Who’s next?”

“L-Let me try...”

Underwear Girl, Zhang Yan timidly raised her hand.

Li Yi nodded his head. “I see no problem with that. It’s good for trash to be recycled after all.”

“You...” Zhang Yan was so mad that she almost blew her top.

Back in Li Yi’s schooling days, Zhang Yan had constantly punished Li Yi. However, the situation was now reversed. Li Yi showed no mercy to her, and he would repay her past ‘kindness’ in full.

“I’ll definitely get the Orange Quality Weapon and p*ss you off!”

Zhang Yan balled her fists in front of Li Yi, and then she proceeded to spin the wheel.

Tap...tap...tap...

After a long period of spinning, the red arrow finally came to a halt. Just like the previous two attempts, it had landed on a skull...

Crash! Underwear Girl’s soul left her body, and she was now dead.

Silence filled the room.

Li Yi softly coughed, “Who’s next...”

No one answered.

After suffering three successive deaths, everybody could tell that something was up.

A human main tank Paladin angrily exclaimed, “Motherf*cker! Every spin results in death! This is b*llshit! I think that nobody can ever get the two Orange Quality weapons, and it’s just bait by the system that’s used to lure us in.”

“I’ll go! I don’t believe that it’ll f*cking murder me!”

Seeing that nobody was willing to go, the fearless The Cat that Sings went ahead. She was never one to believe in superstition anyways.

Another ten seconds later, Sister Cat had crumpled on the ground.

“Anyone else?”

The room was dead silent. Who would have dared to attempt it, seeing that four of their allies had already died?

Li Yi then proceeded. “If there’s no one else, it’s my turn then.”

“I... I’ll go!”

Hearing what Li Yi said, a Weapon Warrior raised his hand and rushed towards the Death God’s Wheel.

Tap...tap...tap...

Crash!

The Weapon Warrior had perished...

The others immediately rolled their eyes upon seeing the result.

When the players heard Li Yi’s words, some of them had thought that the situation would finally turn. However, they did not expect there to be any changes at all.

“Anyone else who wants to try?”

“Anyone else??”

“I’ll go if no one else wants to.”

After asking several times, the party still remained silent. The members had finally got it through their heads that only death awaited those who spun the wheel.

“Commander, just go!”

“Yeah yeah, you’re the only one among us who’s qualified to spin it, commander.”

“Commander, don’t hold back, just a simple spin and the Orange Quality weapon’s yours.”

“The Orange Quality Weapon’s waiting for you! Just give it a spin!”

The tides had changed, and now, the party was urging Li Yi to take a turn at the wheel.

“Alright, I’ll head up then.”

Li Yi walked towards the Death God’s Wheel.

Tap...tap...tap...

Tap...tap...tap...

Tap...tap...tap...

The red arrow spun rapidly, and as the tapping sounds continued to resonate, the hearts of the players had almost thumped out of their mouths.

A maelstrom of emotions was boiling within the players’ hearts. They both hoped that Li Yi would receive something, and at the same time, they also hoped that Li Yi would receive nothing. They wanted Li Yi to receive a reward in order to break the curse, but they also did not want him to receive the Orange Quality Weapons.

‘It’ll be perfect if he gets a trash item.’

That was the thought that resided in the players’ hearts as they watched on.

Crash!

Alas, the result was disappointing.

Li Yi’s performance was not spectacular in any way, and when the arrow had stopped, it had pointed to the skull.

With that, the red-robed spirit whisked Li Yi’s soul away, and he was dead.

“Arghhh...”

“Dammit...”

“Damn!”

“...”

Once Li Yi died, the party’s confidence shattered. Li Yi was the backbone of the party, and they had relied on him to defeat the monsters and to solve the puzzles of the mazes. They had pinned all their hopes on him, and now that he had died, how were they supposed to proceed?

“F*ck, let me try...”

“Motherf*cker. It’s just death, right? I’ll try as well!’

Due to Li Yi’s death, the remaining players were left with much less ‘oomph’ than before. Since they had no chance of beating the remaining floors anyway, they would rather test their luck at the Death God’s Wheel.

Tap...tap...tap...

Tap...tap...tap...

The remaining players were now spinning the wheel with only death on their minds. Now that their figureheads had died, all they could do was to test their luck.

As the Death God’s Wheel continued to spin, players continued to fall. In the end, all twenty-five players had died. The party had been annihilated...

“Excuse me, but I need to leave.”

“Bye-bye, I hope we get a chance to team up next time.”

“Leader, let’s be friends.”

Some had left the party, whereas some had sent Li Yi friend requests. Not long after, the number of corpses on the ground had greatly reduced.

Now that everyone had died, what use was there to continue staying there?

Nevertheless, Li Yi did not release his soul. Although his soul had been taken away, it did not matter to Li Yi, as he had the complete Sacramental Stone on him that would allow him to use God’s Protection and revive.

“I’ll attempt to revive a moment later. Those of you who wish to continue will need to wait, and those who don’t, you can leave now.”

Li Yi shouted in the Guild Channel.

Jiaojiao and the other women received the message, and none of them had released their souls. They were still quietly waiting on the ground.

The other players could not see the guild message and had proceeded to release their souls, reviving in the nearby temple.

“Resurrect!”

Psst—

Golden radiance burst forth from Li Yi’s body, and it forcefully dragged Li Yi’s soul back from the red-robed spirit’s sleeves.

Although the red-robed spirit was powerful, compared to the might of the complete Sacramental Stone, it was nothing.

“Kekeke. How amusing. Weak little creature, you have intrigued me.”

Not only was the spirit not angry at Li YI for stealing back his own spirit, but its tone had also carried some praise towards Li Yi as well.

Li Yi laughed it off, sat cross-legged on the ground, and took some shut-eye.

Li Yi’s Sacramental Stone would allow him to resurrect, but it did not mean that it could save others. Even if he had taken out his Cardiac Pacemaker, it would be useless as only divine strength was capable of taking back the souls from the red-robed spirit.

After resting for nearly ten minutes, Li Yi stood back up and looked at the wheel with a smile.

“Spin!”

Tap...tap...tap...

The red arrow spun rapidly, and once again, it had landed on the skull.

Crash!

Li Yi collapsed once more.

“Resurrect!”

The golden radiance appeared yet again, and Li Yi stood back up.

Holy Light Talismans were not allowed to be used within the Tower of Remorse. Furthermore, the maximum number of times that players could be revived by Resurrection Spells or Resurrection Pearls was three times. Once players exceeded that number, the system will deem the attempt as a failure, and it would forcefully kick the players out.

However, Li Yi’s Sacramental Stone was not held back by the same restrictions. Resurrections that relied on the Sacramental Stone were unlimited. In theory, Li Yi could borrow the Sacramental Stone’s strength to revive infinitely...

Naturally, this was only theoretically, as nothing in King of Pantheon was truly perfect. Not even the Sacramental Stone.

Once the Sacramental Stone exceeded a certain number of uses, cracks will begin to form on its surface. Furthermore, the cracks were unable to be fixed. The only way for it to mend it was to give it time.

Although it had no issues with reviving consecutively for a dozen or so times, if players were to use it without rest, a huge cracking sound could be heard, and the Sacramental Stone would cease to function.

“Immortal being, you have truly impressed me. In order to express my admiration, I’ll allow you to rotate the Death God’s Wheel once more,” praised the red-robed spirit.

When two Orange Quality Weapons appeared on the Death God’s Wheel, there was a 100% chance for players to land on the Death God’s mark, which were the two skull icons.

However, when the number of players who had died under the Death God’s Wheel’s hand had exceeded twenty-five players, each successive death would reduce the chance of hitting the death mark by 1%.

Since the Tower of Remorse’ maximum number of players was twenty-five, players would need to get creative in order to achieve over twenty-five deaths.

Using the Sacramental Stone was just one of the many methods.

Light Priests possessed a Territory Skill called Holy Light of Glory, and upon releasing it, its target would immediately revive upon death within a duration of 10 minutes. In other words, as long as the skill was active, the players would constantly revive.

As servants of the gods, the skills of Light Priests, be it Holy Light of Glory or God’s Blessing, would carry some form of divine power within it. Due to this, they were able to take back the souls from the red-robed spirit’s hands.

Naturally, there were also plenty of other methods aside from relying on Light Priests whereby players could resurrect in the Tower of Remorse. They could also rely on the God-tier Scrolls, rely on true Divine Spells and etc...

While each death that surpassed the twenty-five threshold would reduce the chance of hitting the Death God’s mark by 1%, it would also increase the chance of landing on rare items by the same value.

This type of situation had occurred many times in the past, and when it happened, the players would work hard to constantly die and revive.

Whoever could revive the most would stand the greatest chance of getting the invaluable items.

“Lil Jiao, your Lil Yi’zi is pretty strong, ain’t he?”

Even Sister Cat was impressed by Li Yi’s cockroach-like ability to continuously resurrect.

“That punk wants to act cool and all. Hmph! It’s nothing impressive.” Zhang Yan’s view of Li Yi had not changed at the slightest.

On Li YI’s tenth revival, the Sacramental Stone’s surface was already riddled with cracks.

Tap...tap...tap...

The red arrow spun once more. However, there seemed to be something different about this attempt.

A veil of afterimages trailed behind the red arrow. It appeared as if there were ten arrows moving simultaneously.

Tch! Tch!

The red arrow had finally stopped, and it was pointed at the skull icon.

Ding!

A black glow covered the skull.

Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!

The red arrow moved once again, and it had landed on a skull once more.

The two skull icons then unleashed a black flash...

An ominous sound then rang out.

“Choo—Choo—””
