The Great Thief - Chapter 1180

Chapter 1180: 1180




Lu Li promised that he would go and help Her Tears out at Arathi, but now, he had to focus on the Boss in front of him .

Previously in the Second War, War Master Voone brought his small squad and infiltrated deep within Elven territory . The reason that this cunning Troll decided to join the losing Horde side was because he wanted to be a Military Strategist and win Blackhand's approval . In Voone's eyes, this Elven camp, although seemingly weak, hid lots of powerful opponents . Voone looked forward to unsurmountable challenges, because the feeling of conquering them was incomparable .

After losing in the Second War, he retreated into the Blackrock Spires and recuperated there . Occasionally, Vosh'gajin would even harass him a little .

War Master Voone hoped to return to the battlefield as dying there would be much more honourable .

Today, he felt a slight disturbance from Vosh'gajin's direction, but he didn't want to help him out . The Smolderthorn tribe already had no future, so he did not want to fight a pointless battle .

The footsteps from outside grew nearer and nearer . Had Vosh'gajin already been killed by outsiders?

Well, it was his turn now . He thought that he was already used to the concept of life and death, but suddenly, he felt his body tremble with fear .

He realised that he did not want to die . Well, it would be more accurate to say that he did not want to die in a place like the Blackrock Spires .

After clearing out all the smaller monsters on the way to War Master Voone, they were now in front of the Boss . Lu Li warned everyone to keep their distance from the Boss, because Voone had an impressively large aggro range which could be triggered after entering the doorway to his room .

Lu Li ensured that all the preparations were made before they began .

"You must've not heard of my name before . I will teach you the meaning of regret," the War Master boomed . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

He was a Troll Axe Thrower, which players could not choose as a class . This class was not only strong in their ranged attacks, but they were also extremely capable in melee combat . It was said that most of the Troll Axe Throwers were powerful combat specialists .

"Let's have a try first . "

Lu Li knew that this Boss would be more difficult than the Shadow Hunter .

The War Master had many skills up his sleeves, especially crowd-control abilities . Once the skills are activated, the aggro would move from player to player, which meant that the Main Tank would find it difficult to maintain aggro and pull the Boss .

This Boss tested the Main Tank's ability to pull aggro, as well as the survivability of the players present .

Azure Sea Breeze took up his shield and charged, but was struck by a flying axe and was stunned .


War Master Voone was capable of instantly changing stances to throw an Axe, which would damage the player for 3000 nature-elemental damage and stun them for 3 seconds .

This was War Master Voone's signature skill . An Axe would materialise, then be at a nearly unavoidable speed . After landing the strike, the target would be stunned . According to Lu Li's estimation, the stun time was 3 seconds . In phase one, only one of these Axes would be thrown at a time . In phase two, there would be two . Similarly, in the most difficult stage phase three, three of these Axes would be thrown simultaneously .

As for how to deal with this skill, it was actually quite simple . They just needed to be able to tank it, then stay still for 3 seconds until the stun effect was dispelled .

Although they were aimed at the players, it was not a homing-type of attack . Furthermore, two axes were thrown, it would be slower than a singular Axe . As such, a player's reaction time was key to dodging them . Dodging would be the best way to avoid this skill, because the Axes' damage increased when there were more thrown . The damage would definitely be higher than phase one's Axe .



The same could be said for the three Axes . As long as the players could read their trajectory and direction, this skill would not cause much trouble .

Of course, to reach the end of the fight, many wipes would take place .

After Azure Sea Breeze was stunned, Wandering immediately went and took over the aggro . These

two had great chemistry, which usually prevented the squad from wiping in dangerous situations .

Cleave – War Master Voone deals nature-elemental AoE damage to a maximum of three targets .

If Wandering had not pulled the aggro to him, the War Master might have used this skill . The damage of this skill scaled from the number of people it hit . Therefore, if three players were struck, it would be a case of instant death .

However, now that Wandering had the aggro, Cleave would only hit him alone, so he wouldn't die .

This was the most difficult part of phase one . Now that they had passed this successfully, they would soon enter phase two . When the War Master reached 65% HP, he would change his stance and attack even more ferociously . He would also start throwing two Axes .

The damage dealt from these Axes increased from 3000 to 4000 .

Furthermore, in this stage, the Boss had greater resistance to Taunt, which meant that he would wander around the map and kill players .

Pummel, Uppercut and Kick – these three skills would be used consecutively . Pummel would deal nature-elemental damage and silence the target for 4 seconds . During this time, if the target that was hit by Pummel could not escape, then there was a chance for an Uppercut to occur . Uppercut would deal natural-elemental damage to the target and cause a knockback effect .



This was not the end of the barrage . If the player still didn't make an attempt to escape, then the War Master would use Kick . Kick would deal nature-elemental damage to the target and stun them for 2 seconds .

Anyone who was struck by all three skills would instantly die .

The first one to get hit by this combo was Fat Monkey . He accidentally walked into it, then could not react in time to escape and was killed immediately .

After this, everyone quickly learned . With Lu Li's reminder, they knew that they had to run the moment they got struck by Pummel .

However, the real problem was the throwing of the two Axes . One of the Axes struck Hachi Chan, while the other hit Kitty Likes Meat . These two could not react in time and was killed instantly .

There was no way for them to keep fighting . Even if they could enter phase three, it was impossible for them to be able to clear the Boss .

Lu Li did not give up immediately but chose to use this opportunity to teach .

"Hold on for a bit longer . I'll demonstrate how to dodge the Axes . "

The War Master immediately threw an Axe towards Lu Li, and the other towards Azure Sea Breeze .

Azure Sea Breeze was planning on demonstrating his dodging abilities, but his body was too slow for his brain, so he was still struck by it in the end . It was fortunate that he was extremely bulky with a tremendous amount of HP, so he could tank 4000 damage without any problems .

If Lu Li was struck by the axe, he would definitely die instantly . After all, a little scratch from before already left him with around 1000 HP .

The healers were going to heal him, but he rejected the offer . It was clear that Lu Li was extremely confident in his dodging ability .

As soon as the Axe left Voone's hands, Lu Li had already begun to move . First, he stepped to his left, then exploded to the right . The Axe zoomed past his shoulders, but dealt no damage .

"How'd you do that? That was incredible!" Everyone was shocked .

"Heal me a little . The one who is going to be aimed at next time, listen to me . "

Lu Li never wanted to play the role of the hero . He wasn't going to risk dying just to look good . After his HP was back to 100%, the next two being targeted were Moonlight and Sesame Rice Ball .

"Rice Ball, walk a half-step to your left, then immediately return to your original position!" Lu Li yelled .

Moonlight thought he could dodge it himself, so Lu Li just gave Sesame Rice Ball instructions . Unfortunately, Rice Ball was still a little late after hearing what Lu Li said, so he was instantly killed . The surprising death was not Rice Ball, but Moonlight .

"Rice Ball moved too slowly, while Moonlight moved too quickly," Lu Li said, giving feedback on their movements .

"Why did that happen? I thought I could dodge it successfully . "

Moonlight was feeling a little gloomy . After all, his reaction time and mechanics were not much worse than Lu Li's . Furthermore, after observing Lu Li's own movements, he thought that he would dodge successfully .

"Throw Axe is difficult to dodge . Why? It's because the instant that the Axe leaves the Boss' hands the Boss can still control the direction of the Axe . If you dodge too quickly, then the Boss simply needs to readjust, which means that you'll get hit and die . Rice Ball was the complete opposite . By dodging too slowly, Boss didn't even need to readjust to hit you . "
