Chapter 214 - Dungeon Cleared







After Morlock died, he dropped a total of four pieces of Mysterious-Iron Equipment . Everyone received a share of 34 Copper Coins and a large amount of EXP . Meanwhile, Shi Feng obtained a pair of Wind Extinguisher Leg Guards, increasing his collection of the Wind Extinguisher Set Equipment to two pieces .


Everyone on the team looked at each other with a smile after they had killed Morlock, a High Chieftain ranked Boss, with such ease . They all felt blissful from the fact that Shi Feng had joined their team .

Right now, no one on the team felt the same panic they had when they first entered the Dungeon . They could joke around with each other and had even become pals with Shi Feng . Occasionally, they would even ask Shi Feng to teach them a few battle techniques .


While Shi Feng gave out casual pointers, the team members’ admiration for Shi Feng gradually grew .


Under Shi Feng’s casual guidance, many players in the team exhibited noticeable improvement .


Soon after, everyone arrived at the final throne room . Here, they met the final Boss, the Dark Warlock Salou .

[Dark Warlock Salou] (High Chieftain Rank)

Level 12

HP 500,000/500,000


---





Elsewhere, while Shi Feng and the others had arrived before the final Boss, Dark Star’s Lone Tyrant still tangled with the first Boss of the Beastman Munition Factory, Karur .  

As of this moment, Lone Tyrant and his team had already experienced three team-wipes . Moreover, Karur’s Avatar Slash had caused all three . They had not improved one little bit since their first battle .

Lone Tyrant grew hysterical at this situation . He did not know why a 20-man Dungeon would have such a huge increase in difficulty compared to a 10-man Dungeon .


After pondering for a long time, Lone Tyrant discovered the reason for their failures .


This Boss needs to be dealt with as quickly as possible . However, our overall damage simply isn’t enough to finish him . Unless the team’s equipment is further upgraded, the possibility of clearing this Dungeon doesn’t exist . Do we really have to go and upgrade our equipment before trying again? Lone Tyrant wore a hesitant expression as he glared at Karur .


Due to his previous boasting, he was now stuck between a rock and a hard place .  However, Lone Tyrant suddenly came to a realization . If the damage of his own team were insufficient to deal with Karur, then the Assassin’s Alliance, who had poorer quality equipment, would have even less of a chance of killing Karur .  At this moment, the team from the Assassin’s Alliance must certainly be stuck at the first Boss as well . When Lone Tyrant thought about this, his mood immediately lifted . He decided to reflect on their raiding strategy, giving the Boss another try .

Meanwhile, in the magnificent throne room of the Beastman Munition Factory…


The Assassin’s Alliance had already investigated the Dark Warlock Salou’s skills .


Aside from Dark Arrow being Salou’s most basic attack, Salou was immune to all controlling effects . Salou also possessed two killing moves . One of them was a skill called Shadow Wound . When cast, the Boss would fire 12 Dark Arrows . Each Dark Arrow would cause -800 damage and inflict a Fear effect that lasted 6 seconds .



The other was a skill called Summon Flame Giant . The Flame Giant was a Level 12 Special Elite with 50,000 HP . Each Flame Giant that Salou summoned possessed Self-immolation effect that dealt -300 flame damage to all targets within a 10-yard range every second .  






The Flame Giant was also the largest hurdle to overcome when raiding the Dark Warlock Salou, as the self-immolation was an AoE DoT[1] . If any players other than MTs received -300 flame damage every second, they would last four to five seconds at most . Meanwhile, Salou would summon an additional Flame Giant every one to two minutes . Factoring in the fear effect from Shadow Wound, many players in the team would die under the combination of these two skills .

Even if this combination did not immediately kill them, with three Flame Giants running about, they would similarly end in destruction . Three Flame Giants would mean -900 total damage per second . Even Shi Feng could not last 3 seconds under this damage, much less the other players in the team .

However, if they focused their attacks on the Flame Giants summoned instead, they would waste precious time . As a result, Salou would fully recover his HP due to his battle recovery . A battle of attrition like this would only end with the healers exhausting their mana and a team-wipe .

Meanwhile, after sending a group of half a dozen players to test the waters, everyone learned Dark Warlock Salou’s true strength . As a result, their hearts sunk, and their confidence wavered .

Ignoring the fact that each of Salou’s Dark Arrows could cause -800 damage to their MTs and -1,000 damage to everyone else, the Flame Giants alone were extremely difficult to deal with . After all, none of the melee players could go near a Flame Giant, and even if only the MTs tanked it, the healers still wouldn’t be able to cope with the high damage . Not to mention, there was also Salou’s AoE skill, Shadow Wound, that would suddenly cause -800 damage .

The Flame Giant itself could cause over -300 damage to the MT with its attacks . Coupling that with the Flame Giant’s self-immolation effect, its prowess could rival that of a Boss . If they suddenly received an attack from Salou’s Shadow Wound in addition to the Flame Giant’s attacks, even their MTs might instantly die . Moreover, if they did not kill the first Flame Giant within one to two minutes of its summoning, Salou would summon the second Flame Giant . Under the simultaneous attacks of two Flame Giants, their MTs wouldn’t have a chance .

With their current equipment and levels, it was impossible for them to face Dark Warlock Salou head-on in battle .


Thinking up to this point, everyone’s moods grew somber .


“Isn’t this only Hard Mode? Why is the difficulty so high? What would happen if this were Hell Mode?” Stabbing Heart was similarly bitter after seeing Dark Warlock Salou’s capabilities .

The Guild Leader of the Assassin’s Alliance, Cruel Sword, wrinkled his brows, falling into deep thought .






Salou’s raiding difficulty was clearly much higher than the previous two Bosses .  As expected of a final Boss, it won’t be easy to clear this hurdle .  At the very least, Cruel Sword did not have any good methods to raid Salou .


While everyone was discouraged… 


“Why don’t we give it a try first? It’s not like we’re completely helpless right now,” Shi Feng suddenly said in the team chat .


Shi Feng’s words were like a ray of hope .

“Brother Ye Feng, can we really raid this Boss?” Mu Qing blinked her mesmerizing eyes, her delicate body sticking close to Shi Feng as she asked .


“It should be possible . We can only find out if we try it, right?” Shi Feng merely shrugged as he spoke, his calm appearance giving Mu Qing a slight surprise .

Following which, Shi Feng gave a brief overview of his raiding plan .


Shi Feng’s plan was simple . He, alone, would kite the summoned Flame Giants, while the other members of the team would focus their attacks on the Boss . In this situation, three of the four healers on the team would be responsible for healing the MTs, while the last healer would be responsible for keeping Shi Feng alive . However, this plan was very risky . Its success relied heavily on Shi Feng’s ability to kite the Flame Giants . As the throne room did not provide a wide area for movement, Shi Feng needed to be mindful of his positioning . Any mistakes could lead to a team-wipe .


However, nobody rejected Shi Feng’s proposal . They did not even have the slightest opinion about Shi Feng’s plan . They had long since been convinced of Shi Feng’s strength . Since Shi Feng shared his plan, he must be very confident about it .  Thus, they believed that Shi Feng could really pull it off .


“Water Lake, you’ll activate Darkness Aura . White Feather, you’ll activate Crusader Aura .  Let’s start the raid, then,” Shi Feng said .

A Guardian Knight’s Darkness Aura could provide an additional 5 points Dark Resistance to allies, decreasing the darkness damage they received . Meanwhile, the Crusader Aura could increase allies’ Movement Speed by 10%, letting everyone have an easier time evading the Flame Giants . With these two auras, the team would have a much easier time raiding the Boss .

Water Lake was the first to dash at Salou . While Salou was still in the process of casting a spell, Water Lake smashed Shield of Vengeance into Salou’s face, causing -181 damage . Water Lake then followed up with Righteous Punishment, dealing -201 damage .


However, neither of these attacks had interrupted or delayed Salou’s chanting, and shortly after, a streak of dark light skewered Water Lake through the chest, causing -800 damage to him . A moment later, three Healing Lights landed on Water Lake’s body, recovering over 700 HP of his HP .

After Water Lake solidified his grasp on Salou’s aggro, Shi Feng instructed the other players to initiate their attacks .


After a moment, Salou pointed his staff towards the sky . A large, azure-green fireball descended from the sky, crashing into the throne room . Immediately, Shi Feng tossed out the Blazing Meteor at the azure-green Flame Giant, causing -621 damage and instantly becoming its main target .


Seeing the Flame Giant charging at him, Shi Feng spun around and fled, luring the Flame Giant away from the rest of the team . He then started circling around the hall with the Flame Giant right behind him .


As Salou’s HP continued decreasing, the Flame Giants he summoned also grew stronger . Unfortunately, Shi Feng lured away all of the Flame Giants Salou summoned, spoiling his fun .

After more than ten minutes, Salou released a resentful bellow . His body fell to the throne as he passed away .
