The Great Thief

“Lu Li, why aren’t you commanding?” Innocent Child suddenly asked.

This was the approach that Lu Li took when he was the leader of this squad. In the previous battles, he kept his silence and allowed the squad members to fulfil their roles according to their own judgment. The ones who were meant to engage monsters would engage and the healers would heal. “Oh, okay. I’ll start commanding now,” Lu Li said as he glanced over and nodded his head.

After hearing Lu Li say this, most of the players began to wonder how he would solve the problem of Lord Roccor constantly using his skills. Even the most elite commanders would have problems with Lord Roccor, since the range of his skills was too great. There was simply nowhere to hide.

“March Rain, what level is your Levitate?’ Lu Li asked.

“Level 1. This skill seems pretty useless. Should I raise it anyway?”

Although she did not want to waste skill points on this skill, if Lu Li needed it, she would raise it without a second thought.

After all, this was something that affected Lu Li’s reputation. Lu Li’s reputation was also Ruling Sword’s reputation.

“Wendelian, how about you? Do you have Levitate?”

Wendelian nodded his head and confirmed, “Yeah, I have it, but its also level 1. I don’t have any more skill points to raise the skill.”

“You don’t need to raise it. It’s enough. Later, when the Boss begins to use his skills, use Levitate on yourself and the Main Tank. March Rain, use your Levitate on yourself and the Shaman.”

Lu Li was satisfied because the Healers and MT would be safe.

“Levitate will avoid the attacks?” Innocent Child was surprised.

“Let’s try it out. Breezy, let’s go.”

Of course, Lu Li knew that it would work to avoid the attacks.

When the time came for Druids to solo this Boss, they would use Levitating Potions. Unfortunately, the Alchemy recipe for these potions hadn’t yet been learnt by any Alchemists. Otherwise, the Priests would not be needed here.

Lord Roccor had a very obvious animation sequence that led to the activation of the skill. There was enough time for both casters to use Levitate during this sequence.

Lu Li was right. Although the Boss’ skills dispelled Levitate, the four players were not stunned. Since the Main Tank and healers were safe, the others were only stunned for a few seconds. After recovering from the stun, they continued to deal large amounts of damage. Besides the Stun, this Boss was not that difficult and they quickly finished the fight.

Wendelian received a skill point, while others just received fame and experience.

Innocent Child was a little reluctant to recognise Lu Li as possibly the greatest Commander. However, it had to be said that his decision making was extremely quick and he often made the correct judgement. Any other Commander in Lu Li’s position today would require multiple tries to discover the usage of Levitate.

Innocent Child also wanted to see Lu Li fail because the Gangnam Royals and Ruling Sword had fought for so long.

Wendelian moved forward to loot the Boss’ corpse. Besides the Idol of Ferocity that dropped, the only other notable item was a Dark Gold Fire-resistance robe.

“Sigh…if only Remnant Dream was here,” Azure Sea Breeze whispered to Lu Li. He wasn’t all too pleased about Wendelian’s luck. Furthermore, this was a level 55 Instance Dungeon, so a Legendary item could’ve dropped.

“This was the First Boss. He didn’t have much HP and wasn’t difficult to handle. How would a Legendary grade item drop?” Lu Li replied.

This squad consisted of mostly just one person from each guild, even Glory Capital. However, there were three people from Ruling Sword. If Remnant Dream joined, there would undeniably be an objection.

After entering the Prison area, they encountered the High Interrogator Gerstahn, who was an extremely beautiful woman.

It was said that before becoming a Twilight Disciple, she was an aristocrat.

She pursued luxurious clothes, exotic foods and rare materials; even her tools were Gem-studded. In this area, there were shrieks and cries that rang out in the middle of the night. These were said to be made by her, as she sang and wrote music.

“Wow! Nice to meet you, beautiful lady.”

Elevenless’ eyes shone as he nearly salivated in front of the Boss.

“Retreat a little. Her aggro range is extremely large, especially when dallying around with her.”

Lu Li was anxious, since there were some female NPCs that they should not be conversing with.

High Interrogator Gerstahn wore a purple dress and was extremely beautiful. It was unfortunate that she was a rose with hidden thorns.

“Everyone, get ready. Breezy, be prepared to take aggro straight away. Let’s try this Boss out and see how far we can go.”

After all, he was clearing these dungeons with these professional players, so he could not reveal his hand straight away.

The first try ended when Gerstahn let out a loud shriek. This shriek not only had a crowd control effect, but also opened a gate through which a tremendous number of small monsters rushed out and overwhelmed the members.

On the second try, they managed to clear the monsters.

When her health reached 55%, Gerstahn summoned a group of Shadowfiends. Their attack power was terrifying and they also had an Ultimate skill that silenced all the Magic-based classes. Obviously, this led to another wipe.

“Leader, what do we do? We can’t fight anymore.”

Of course, Innocent Child would use this opportunity to try and make Lu Li look bad again.

Lu Li was waiting for him to say something like that. He then replied with a chuckle, “I tried it just then. It looks like we can use crowd control skills on these Shadowfiends, then use an AoE skill to wipe them out. They don’t have much HP anyway.”

After this, the next wave was summoned near the Boss and the Shadowfiends rushed out to absorb everyone’s mana.

Sorrowless’ Water Elemental could use Frost Nova from long range and freeze the Shadowfiends. After freezing them, he and Unforgettable Maple used Blizzard to wipe them out.

Unforgettable Maple and Sorrowless did not wait for the Freeze to end and used another round of spells, eliminating the Shadowfiends.

When they reached phase three of the fight, Gerstahn used her other Ultimate skills which were extremely troublesome to deal with. However, just when they were about to doubt in his abilities, Lu Li always thought of a solution. On one hand, they were genuinely enjoying this Instance Dungeon. On the other hand, they felt that Lu Li was insurmountably strong.
