The Great Thief - Chapter 1078

Chapter 1078: 1078
They would have to cooperate with each other later after this war, so both factions made sure to hold back .


There was a total of 15 players for this all-celebrity dungeon run and included the top players from both factions . They were to display their techniques in the Blackrock Depths dungeon .
There were currently four large dungeons in the Blackrock Mountain area – the Blackrock Depths, Blackrock Spire, Molten Core and Blackwing Lair .
Of course, the gaming company wouldn't be sending the celebrity team to complete all of these dungeons . They didn't have the time and it would be a long and tedious task . They had to keep the game fun after all, so there was no way the company would allow the dungeons to be completed so quickly .
After the celebrity players completed the run, everyone would have an idea of how it should be done .
They needed to complete a chain of quests in order to obtain the keys to enter the Blackrock Depths . The quest was complicated, but it wasn't difficult . Lu Li was the commander, so he didn't have to do this himself .
The dungeon was located in the Eastern part of the kingdom, in the depths of Blackrock Mountain .
The history of the Blackrock Mountain could be traced all the way back to the War of the Three Hammers, which involved the Bronzebeard, Warhammer and Dark Iron Dwarves .
The Bronzebeard Dwarves ultimately won the war, but the Dark Iron Dwarves weren't willing to accept the defeat . They build the Thaurissan city in the Redridge mountains in an attempt to make their comeback .


However, the Bronzebeard Dwarves weren't interested in giving their enemies a chance . After they joined forces with the Wildhammer, they completed destroyed the Dark Iron Dwarves again . In this fight, they killed their Queen Modgud . In despair, King Thaurissan made a mistake that anyone could have made – he summoned Ragnaros from the lava depths .
As the ancient creature made its entrance, the Redridge Mountains also began to change in appearance . The mountains shook and flames blanketed the land as howling and wailing sounded in the air .
Anything that rebelled would be turned into ashes and those who obeyed became slaves for eternity .
A raging volcano rose from the ground and formed the Blackrock Mountains .
Although Thaurissan was killed by what he had released, his kind had been enslaved by Ragnaros . Even till this day, they were still being kept in the Blackrock Depths while Ragnaros restd in the Molten Core at the deepest part .
What Lu Li and the others were exploring this time was the capital city that the Dark Iron Dwarves had once built – Thaurissan City .
The Blackrock Depths were a super-sized dungeon that had cost the gaming company countless an enormous amount of effort to design . There were plenty of paths to take in the dungeon and these paths did not all lead to each other . As far as Lu Li knew, there were still sections in his old life that had remained unexplored .

It was most likely for the purpose of advertising the game, but all the competitors this time represented all the common classes of Dawn .
There were two players for the Thieves – Water Fairy and Lu Li .
Needless to say, Lu Li was the most popular player in the game . Without him, the celebrity team would probably be a joke .
Water Fairy was chosen for her beauty, which she was famous for, while also being an extremely skilled player . Ever since she became famous, there was always a spot available for her in the celebrity teams .
The team had the most spots for Warrior classes – a total of three, which included Sea Breaker and Elevenless . Sea Breaker wasn't any more famous than Moonlight and Gaze, but he had the most damage reduction, Defense and taunt skills . He had also added quite a lot of his attribute points to Constitution and all he needed was a set of exquisite defense gear .
The team couldn't be chosen just by fame alone – they needed to be realistic in approaching the dungeon . It would be ridiculous to expect Moonlight and Gaze to tank a boss .
The last Warrior was Azure Sea Breeze, who despite not being a celebrity player, was still chosen .
Sea Breaker alone wasn't enough – he probably couldn't even tank the Heroic mode, so they had to ask Azure Sea Breeze instead . He wasn't any worse than a celebrity players – he was the number one Main Tank after all .
Besides March Rain, Wendelian was also chosen for the Priest class .

Along with Stellar Union Silver Radian, she was known as the strongest support competitor in the game .
Wendelian had served Glory Capital and was the reserved healer for Sorrowless . She rose to the top by his side, but eventually swapped guilds to Gale Legion . She was experienced in gaming, but she was quite young too .
Apparently, what she had been best at was directing, but Sorrowless was already a renowned commander, so her specialty had been overshadowed .
Besides Sorrowless, Unforgettable Maple was selected for the Mage positions .
Mages and Warriors probably took up the greatest numbers amongst the competitors, but no matter how they ordered the players, they couldn't move out Unforgettable Maple and Sorrowless .
The Warlock representatives were Hornet's Nest and Phantom Gaze .
Hornet's Nest was already quite famous, but Phantom Gaze was another story . His nickname was the 'retired craze' .
He had played games for a good decade, and had retired plenty of times, but each time, he would return again because he couldn't stand missing out . Each time he returned, he had always managed to make it back to the top .
The Shaman representative was Jade Flower, while Old Man Power was chosen as the Druid . Green Flag Wine represented the Paladins and the Hunter class was represented by Hot Twitch .
Lu Li, Water Fairy, Sorrowless, Unforgettable Maple, Azure Sea Breeze, Elevenless, Sea Breaker, March Rain, Wendelian, Hornet's Nest, Phantom Gaze, Jade Flower, Old Man Power, Green Flag Wine and Hot Twitch – there was a total of 15 players .
The Main Tank was Azure Sea Breeze, who would be backed up Sea Breaker, while the main healers were March Rain, Wendelian and Jade Flower . Everyone else was just a damage dealer .
Most major guilds only had one spot, but Ruling Sword had three .
This was because March Rain and Azure Sea Breeze were the best players within their classes . They were a guarantee to ensure that the team could push through the dungeon .
Celebrity players weren't always the best choice to complete dungeons . If it wasn't for the existence of Azure Sea Breeze, Lu Li didn't think the team would stand a chance against Blackrock Depths .
In fact, from the situation right now, he felt very pressured for his task of directing this dungeon run .
