The Great Thief

Kitty Likes Meat successfully got the equipment she wanted. 120 was indeed quite a lot and it did hurt her wallet a bit. However, the pain lessened as her abilities strengthened.

This was the most precious thing from this Instance Dungeon. Otherwise, Lu Li would have thought this Instance Dungeon wouldn’t have been worth it.

The next two pieces of equipment were all T1.5. Not many people were interested and were taken by those with the lowest points. This type of equipment was hardly exciting.

This was in fact a good thing, it meant that everyone’s equipment levels were relatively high.

The next boss was called Bloodlord Mandokir. He wasn’t the strongest boss of Zul’gurub, but he was the most well-known because he would drop mounts. In the latest official trailer, he had a dark red Velociraptor by his side – it was so cool.

Of course, they needed to deal with small monsters first.

In this area, small monsters’ abilities were very strong. The red Bloodthirsters had a range of Lifesteal abilities which made it difficult to fight.

There was also a type of Berserker that had an area of effect fear ability.

These two types of monsters needed people to deal damage from a distance. Melee players could just move on.

After small monsters called Speakers were killed, the Boss would appear. Bloodlord Mandokir was a male troll, just like the trailer. He rode a dark red Velociraptor, and his position was in a circular enclosed wall with a high tower with stairs behind it.

This circle had eight soul-like units that could be seen. They were all in corresponding angles and looked quite creepy.

“Let’s get rid of all the small monsters. Since it drops a mount, it’ll probably be quite difficult,” Lu Li said.

 “These surrounding eight souls can’t be killed,” Wandering gave it a try, and the system notified said it couldn’t be attacked.

 “So, either we need to wait for the right time to hit it or it’s meant to help us. Let’s just kill the small monsters first. Breezy be careful in pulling the Boss. Wandering, you hold down the Velociraptor. Everyone let’s First Clear the Velociraptor. First, try killing it separately, if it doesn’t work then we will kill it together,” Lu Li explained.

If there is more than one Boss, then there was a need to kill them one by one.

But there was a possibility that both needed to be killed together; the previous Instance Dungeon had that requirement.

The Velociraptor was called Ohgan. Once they started, everyone realised it wasn’t a Boss. Its strength and HP were all much weaker.

“Deadly Kill!”

The Boss suddenly screamed loudly. Then everyone saw the large sword in the Boss’s hands slide across Lu Li’s neck. Then Lu Li’s head rolled off, with a clear cut where his neck was…

Everyone was nearly scared to death.

Only Mu Qiu and those who had seen Mu Qiu use the Greatsword of the brotherhood were rather calm. Because the Greatsword of the brotherhood had a similar beheading effect, even though the chances were very, very low.

Lu Li’s head was chopped off. But he wasn’t very alarmed or panicked.

This type of beheading effect existed early in the game, and the gaming officials received a lot of protest. So eventually, it was changed to something like throat-cutting, so that at least the head won’t roll off.

Of course, beheading was a one shot kill.

It was without a doubt that Lu Li was just killed in one shot

“Kill Ohgan!” Lu Li shouted loudly. He could shout even without a head, but it was only in written form.

Everyone wasn’t very sure about why Lu Li wanted them to kill off the Velociraptor so quickly, but everyone witnessed a very abnormal scene. It was surrounding the eight souls. One of them started slowly moving towards Lu Li’s body. Yet, Ohgan dashed toward this soul and made seemed like it was about to attack it.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since this Velociraptor was attacking this soul then this only said that these souls were allies.

How can we let you harm our allies?

After Ohgan had been killed, the soul slowly moved towards Lu Li’s corpse. It grabbed Lu Li’s head, placed it on his neck, and Lu Li was revived!

“That’s insane! Lu Li how do you feel now?” Everyone needed to calm their emotions after exclaiming.

This type of scenario must have been designed by someone who was an avid reader of the Strange Tales from Liao Zhai.

 “Cut the crap, let’s quickly return to the fight. Can’t you guys see we now have one less soul? The eight souls can only revive us eight times. God knows how many times we will need to kill the Boss!” Lu Li grumbled with annoyance. He was the one that was beheaded which was already very unlucky in itself, and he did not wish for people to discuss further.

It was at this moment that people realised Bloodlord Mandokir will continue beheading players.

They just didn’t know who the next unlucky player was!

 “This isn’t right. The Boss’s abilities has strengthened, and the attack and defence have enhanced,” Azure Sea Breeze also liked to make impromptu comic gestures in battles, but his professionalism was doubtless. One could say that Lu Li was focused on the whole situation, while he was specifically focused on the Boss.

Any small change of the Boss wouldn’t escape his eyes.

As the Main Tank, he had a responsibility to inform the Commander of these changes, even though the Boss’s enhancements were not much.

“Any threat?” Lu Li asked.

 “No, this Boss’s attack and defence abilities aren’t outstanding,” Azure Sea Breeze shook his head, but then continued, “but I doubt it’s this simple. Because these changes happened after you were revived. If it was due to the souls reviving players, then it’s best we prepare for that fact that the Boss’s attack and defence will continue to increase throughout the fight.”

 “Understood,” Lu Li replied.

Of course, he understood. Since he followed the Boss’s every move. Plus, he was someone reborn. He knew better than anyone that the Boss would continue to get stronger and stronger.

What makes it admirable was that Azure Sea Breeze was not someone reborn but could discover these details and make the correct judgement accordingly. It was of his own complete abilities and talent. Dawn’s No. 1 Main Tank did not earn his rank simply by equipment and skills.

At this time, Bloodlord Mandokir used another new skill and feared Azure Sea Breeze straight away. Without relying on a Priest, Azure Sea Breeze instantly relieved his own fear and then mocked the Boss. A crisis that would have likely led to the destruction of the team had melted away.

Bloodlord Mandokir was disdained that he didn’t cause enough chaos.

“Sakura Memories I am watching you!!!”

What? What did this mean? Everyone only saw Sakura Memories look up scornfully, “What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen a beauty before? Stuff you…”

Then she was dead.

Lu Li rubbed his forehead and sighed internally. She deserved to die like that.

 “What happened?” Everyone was so confused.

 “The Boss probably thought she was being too rude, so he killed her by looking at her,” Wandering explained slowly, with a tone of admiration. If only he had this type of ability. Whoever called him diseased would get killed with just a look from him. Plus, this type of PVP technique was so easy to use, it would be perfect for someone lazy like him.

“Ohgan! Ohgan! Where are you? Attack them! We will not be ridiculed again!”

As the Boss shouted, that Velociraptor scrambled up again.

“Turn around and collectively fire at Ohgan!” Li Li ordered without hesitation.

In order to kill this Boss, this Velociraptor called Ohgan needed to be killed first. Otherwise, he would kill off any of the players who had been revived, then these players can’t be revived again.
