The Great Thief

Water Fairy silently watched Lu Li command the battle before suddenly asking.

“If there was a chance, do you think I would steal your Boss? Or, if you had the chance, would you steal our Boss?”

Fortunately, these two players were on the high platform. Otherwise, anyone else that heard this would have suddenly started paying attention.

Lu Li thought about it seriously, but after a while, he shook his head and said, “No I don’t think I would, and you shouldn’t steal mine either.”

“Why did you think for so long for be sure?” Water Fairy muttered.

“I wouldn’t steal your Boss – that’s for sure. However, if you decided to steal our Boss, it would take some time. I don’t think you would disregard our alliance to steal some Boss for the potential of some loot,” Lu Li explained seriously.

“You… you really…” Water Fairy didn’t even know how to put it into words.

“Breezy, what’s wrong with you? Don’t you know when to retreat? Why didn’t you use your damage reduction skills after you got hit with a critical hit? Fate, quickly pull the Boss and someone revive and heal him,” Lu Li yelled. He was stunned when he discovered that the main tank actually died.

Water Fairy felt bitter and almost wanted to turn and leave.

“I was watching the live stream recently. Why weren’t you on it?” Lu Li asked. After screaming loudly at Azure Sea Breeze, he dropped his tone when he spoke to Water Fairy.

This made Water Fairy calm down a little bit.

“I’m not in Jinling anymore. My mum chased me around all day to ask for my forgiveness. How could I make a pregnant woman’s life more difficult than it already is?” Water Fairy said quietly.

“She… whatever. If she doesn’t want to stay in Jinling, then she shouldn’t stay,” Lu Li responded. He wasn’t good at expressing opinions about other people’s family affairs.

“Luo Xing is there in Jinling, so even if I have no influence, I still get to see him every day,” Water Fairy said, looking happier as she continued, “Right now, my days are happier and I don’t really want to fight for those things anyway.”

“If you are happy, then that’s good,” Lu Li sighed.

On the field, the fight had now reached the third phase. Even with the 30% debuff from the talisman, it was still very difficult for the players. There were some tanks that lost all their HP from a single wave of attacks.

If the Boss’ HP wasn’t dropping, but Lu Li maintained a calm look, then everyone would remain calm. However, he was chatting away while commanding, which was starting to make everyone lose hope.

“Reposition the battlefield. Breezy, pay attention to your HP. Dark, don’t worry about your mana; just get someone to replace you once you run out.”

Lu Li calculated that the output seemed quite weak and the players who died needed to be revived.

“I stopped dealing damage to pull this Boss. I thought you didn’t have time to take care of us anymore,” Azure Sea Breeze said, filled with resentment.

On the one hand, Lu Li had scolded him in front of everyone. On the other hand, he was exhausted and fighting on the front lines while Lu Li was standing on top of a stone platform accompanied with one of the top three women of the Beauty Rankings.

It was quite a frustrating situation to be in!

After repositioning their players, the damage output finally stabilized. The next wave of fire attacks didn’t cause as many casualties, so they entered the third phase smoothly.

In this next stage, there actually wouldn’t be any particularly powerful new skill.

However, you had to remember that Grol the Destroyer was an Ogre, and all Ogres had a secret ability. The less HP they had, the faster and stronger their attacks were.

This was a natural Berserk trait.

Grol’s Berserk trait was particularly strong. When he entered the third phase, his damage significantly increased and his attack speed slowly grew.

If they were fighting with an ordinary strategy, the players would generally get wiped here because the Main Tank would be unable to hold on.

But now that its damage and attack speed had been reduced by 30%, Azure Sea Breeze was at least able to survive. Occasionally, he would be hit with a critical strike, but he would immediately use a damage reduction skill in response.

“I feel like this Boss is growing more and more powerful. Can you defeat it?” Water Fairy asked. She didn’t dare to chat with Lu Li, and just paid attention to the battlefield.

In fact, she knew that the question she asked was pointless. Lu Li had no way of guaranteeing that he could kill the Boss, because anything could happen at this point.

The most ridiculous thing that could happen was Azure Sea Breeze disconnecting…

Even so, she still asked anyway. Sometimes people would subconsciously seek confirmation of a situation. It was like a child who was afraid of ghosts asking to sleep with their parents so they could have peace of mind.

Lu Li was currently playing this role.

Lu Li didn’t think much about it and answered with certainty, “Grol the Destroyer is not difficult. If you have the talisman, he is even easier than Sevine.”

The next few moments of the fight confirmed the statement he had made. Grol the Destroyer didn’t wipe the group even though he had gone Berserk.

Eventually, the players won, but they had suffered quite a few casualties. However, they urgently needed to increase their strength right now for the finals, so these sacrifices were acceptable.

Players who had lost EXP were compensated with bonus points.

The System once again notified everyone of Ruling Sword’s First Clear. This made Grol the Destroyer the second level 60 Wild Boss that Ruling Sword had killed today, generating a response that was even more exaggerated than before.

Fighting one level 60 Wild Boss could have been a fluke, but if you killed two, it would be very difficult to maintain that position.

Jade Flower Lover, who had returned to the city to get back to Blood Red War Flag, suddenly regretted his choice.

He considered flooding the Dreadmaul Stronghold with players. Even if he couldn’t kill the Boss, he would stop Ruling Sword. It was no secret that Ruling Sword had their professional players present. Now, they were going to receive two more level 60 Epic equips.

Of course, Glory Capital was even more anxious. Some players thought it was unnecessary to send a guild after them because it was just one level 60 Boss, but no one thought that now. There was no guarantee that Ruling Sword would stop here.

How could Ruling sword kill these Wild Bosses so easily?

There was no doubt that their efficiency in killing these Bosses was quite unusual. It was impossible for

Glory Capital to kill the same Bosses so easily. Many other major guilds had tried to fight the level 60 Bosses. They had all suffered a significant number of casualties, yet they had all failed.

Was Ruling Sword going to keep fighting the Bosses like this?

When they thought about how Ruling Sword would soon have many pieces of level 60 Epic equipment, even Sorrowless himself felt a bit agitated.

Glory Capital had the best equipment of all the guilds; there was no doubt about that. Their strength was not limited to the game, as they were also very powerful in real life. If they wanted to fully equip a player with Epic equipment, they could, but if they wanted to fully equip a player with level 60 Epic equipment, it would be impossible.

Being unable to defeat a level 60 Boss wasn’t a problem that could be solved by throwing more players at it.

Lu Li was busy making sure that everyone’s equipment was being saved. The EXP that they received was quite high, but even those who died wouldn’t lose too much after they were revived. There was also the Bounty Quest that they could claim afterwards for more EXP and Reputation.

The luckier players received a Skill Point, but unlucky Lu Li obviously wasn’t one of them.

There was a Synthetic Stone that provided 10% Level Reduction. This stone was obviously not suitable for use right now as the players were already level 57 or 58. A 5% stone was enough, so the 10% stone was to be saved for later.

There were also five Strengthening Stones, which were currently in great demand.

Although the whole guild needed Strengthening Stones, they were given to the professional players and the others were compensated with more points. This was completely voluntary behaviour from Ruling Sword. They could have forced all the players to give up all their Strengthening Stones for the professional players for nothing, but if they did that, then what was the difference between Lu Li and the Star Moon Union?

There was a Mage Skill Book that was given to Fat Monkey.

The Rare Material was an Ogre Brain, an item that was only dropped by Ogre Bosses and was mainly used for Alchemy as well as some Cooking recipes.
