The Great Thief - Chapter 1025

Chapter 1025: 1025
One wipe after another .


Ruling Sword and Glory Capital were fighting the Boss at the same pace . Both sides began to adapt quickly to the rhythm of the Boss and gradually improved . From not being able to reach phase two, they were now planning to advance into phase three .
However, while Ruling Sword was fighting in phase three, Glory Capital had only scratched the surface of phase two .
They had fallen too far behind while fighting the 5th and 6th Boss, especially because of the time that they had spent to look for the remnant . During this time, Lu Li and his squad had already fought the Boss thrice .
Lu Li forgot the number of restarts that they had gone through . He was beginning to lose his voice as a result of this, but had prepared a few lozenges to sooth his throat .
Now, they were beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but were wiped at Ras Frostwhisper's signature skill: Frost Whisper .
Frost Whisper: Freeze all enemies in a 30-metre radius . Frozen enemies can explode under absolute coldness . Surrounding units are damaged and movement speed slowed .
This skill's damage was similar to the snowballs, which had the capability to instantly kill players .
However, the dodging for this skill was different .
Frost Whisper could not be dodged, because it affected a 30-metre radius, while the players had to stand within a 20-metre radius to be able to damage the Boss .
During this time, two players needed to be sacrificed by standing four metres from each other to maintain aggro .


Otherwise, more players would die .
To do this, they needed the members to be spread around the battlefield .
If two players stood too close to each other, the other players needed to flee from them to minimize the damage .
They tried this strategy, which worked to an extent . However, the second time they executed it, the Boss killed four people while at extremely low HP, so they just gave up afterwards .
Not every Boss would deal critical strikes .
This time, however, everyone performed well – not even one player died . Lu Li still had two revives to use, so he was filled with hope .
"Be careful about positioning since Frost Whisper can come any time now . Wandering, observe the Boss' movements . Memories, stop DPS for a bit . Walk three metres to your right; it's too dangerous where you were . Moonlight, you're the same . Stop DPS for a bit, then retreat four metres . Yeah, just stay there . "
Lu Li was feeling extremely anxious for this Boss .
Truthfully, they had focused more on melee damage for this Boss fight, so it was harder to spread out . If they actually did spread out, there would be no more DPS .
They could only let Lu Li analyse the situation by his experience and judge for when the Boss would unleash his skills . Both Lu Li and Wandering retreated a little, since they did not want to make mistakes to risk more DPS .

In his previous life, the Boss was not this hard to deal with . Each player only needed to spread out by three metres, so the melee classes had no problem with DPSing .

However, all of this meant nothing, since they were going for the First Clear .
"Mamma-mia! I'm a little nervous!" Azure Sea Breeze yelled .
As he said this, Ras Frostwhisper began to utter a chant . Suddenly, a frosty air surrounded the chamber .
"Remnant Dream and Kitty Likes Meat move away from March Rain!" Lu Li shouted at the top of his voice . "Other people, don't move! Lonesome Flower, hurry up with the skill!"
If this was the rookie Lonesome Flower, he would not have reacted in time .
However, the moment Lu Li yelled a second time, he reacted and instantly activated the skill . When Frost Whisper was activated, he was only 2 metres away from Moonlight .
"Wow, your throat's not hurting from all that yelling?" Wandering was surprised .
Lu Li's habit of commanding was a relaxed one since he was not pressured from getting the First Clear . They had time to kill anyway .
"You think I want to yell? Lonesome Flower, you just got deducted by 5 points . Learn from your mistakes next time," Lu Li said in slight annoyance .
"Alright . "
Lonesome Flower knew that he had done something wrong; he panicked the moment he heard his sister's name . He didn't usually make mistakes when he was focused on the task at hand .
"Focus . I'm going to initiate the countdown for the snowballs; dodge to the best of your abilities . Snowballs this time! Snowballs!"
People began to lose concentration after a long time in an Instance Dungeon . This fatigue confused players about the incoming abilities, which had resulted in a wipe before . If they did not clear it this time, Lu Li planned to rest for 30 minutes .
"Snowball!" Fat Monkey yelled quickly .
"We'll rest for 30 minutes after this . "
As soon as they heard this, everyone began to focus . They were tired, but they knew that today's First Clear was important . Even the high schoolers were enduring it, so no one could complain .
Azure Sea Breeze took this opportunity to bargain .
"Increase the guild points given! Please!"
"Alright . If we clear it this try, then the rewards will be increased . Everyone will get 200 gold packets," Lu Li said, deciding to motivate them even more with the additional rewards .
As of now, the Boss only had 30% HP left .
The snowballs flew erratically after Lu Li finished his countdown and few began to fall towards the ground .
"Hachi Chan! Turn into a leopard and dodge these!" Lu Li was terrified for her after seeing three snowballs surround her .
She was valuable to the team, so she could not die . Not only was her Tranquillity important, but she also had Revives and was a Healer . Lu Li would gladly sacrifice a strong DPS player for Hachi Chan .
Hachi Chan was also surprised at her perilous situation .
She had followed Lu Li for a long time, so she had developed a habit of instantly heeding his commands, especially when she was in a state of high concentration .
She took Lu Li's instructions a step further, and drastically increased her movement speed even more .
