The Great Thief - Chapter 1306

Chapter 1306: 1306

An exceptional commander would be able to control the dynamics of the battle . When the squad needed to relax or focus, they would adjust accordingly as per the commander’s instructions . Otherwise, they would not be at peak condition when dangerous moments in the battle arrived .

Azure Sea Breeze and the rest didn’t know what made these monsters so strong, so they were perplexed as to why Lu Li paid so much attention to them .

The monsters in the hall were pulled out, controlled, then cleared . After clearing the monsters, the empty hall suddenly resonated with a sound that was similarly to the panting and growls of wild beasts .

The party gathered their focus at the end of the hall and saw that a tremendously large shadow was approaching them .

The Beast!

This was a Giant Core-hound from the innermost areas of Molten Core . Although it was only a hound, it was not a simple beast to handle at all . The Beast had a large and muscular body, with limbs that were just as muscular . It had two fierce heads, perched on top of its neck, and its body shone bright with the flames that surrounded it . Within the cracks on its body, the molten lava that flowed through its insides glowed .

From the battles between the Army of Black Dragons and the Fire Elementals, the Black Dragons

knew and remembered the immense strength of these Core-hounds .

They captured these hounds from the inner areas of the Molten Core, then used them in research to create stronger creatures to defeat Ragnaros’ Fire Elemental enemies .

The Beast was one of these hounds that was captured from Molten Core by the Blackrock Clan, then transported to Blackrock Spire . It was said that the method of capture was extremely cruel, which led to the Beast massacring and eating the corpse of countless Orcs that got close to him .

However, the Beast was not the strongest experiment subject .

In the depths of the Blackwing Lair, Nefarian successfully created Chromaggus, another beast . Its strength far surpassed the likes of The Beast .

However, The Beast was not an easy opponent either .

“#￥%…@&”

No one understood the language of the Core-hounds, but they could all sense its deep-rooted rage and insanity .

“Is everyone ready?” Azure Sea Breeze asked as he raised his shield . He was very well-suited to playing as the Main Tank . Besides his inherent talent, his mental fortitude and ability to adapt was commendable . After the arduous battles with the last Boss, the Main Tank would be the most tired . However, he had already managed to recover from any fatigue .

“Don’t waste time . Let’s go,” Lu Li said as he rubbed the poison onto his daggers .

His poison levels were a little low at that moment . After all, he didn’t need to use poison for the Instance Dungeons, so the damage that he could do with it was minimal . Furthermore, he also needed to command the squad while simultaneously battling, so his DPS dropped behind the Magic-based classes .

Moonlight, the Berserker, didn’t seem to fall behind in DPS either .

In this version of the game, a Berserker’s DPS was extremely high . In the hands of a skilled Manual player, the DPS was even greater .

It was said that Dawn’s son were Mages, and the godson were Thieves . Lu Li believed that Thieves had a future in Dawn .

Azure Sea Breeze’s Legendary shield smashed into the lower jaw of The Beast . If this strike was aimed at a player or a smaller monster, it would be a guaranteed stun . However, on a Boss like this, it could only be used as an aggro-pulling technique .

Azure Sea Breeze successfully pulled the aggro of The Beast . One head was focused on Azure Sea Breeze, while the other head was spewed molten lava everywhere .

A reddish-yellow liquid covered the hall . As a melee player, Lu Li couldn’t avoid the lava splashing onto his armor . After making contact with his armor, he immediately heard a fizzling sound . The lava that landed on his skin dealt a considerable amount of damage . March Rain desperately casted an AoE healing ability .

“This Boss is disgusting, spitting everywhere like that!” Azure Sea Breeze roared as he wiped his face clean, then rushed forward with rage .

Fortunately, this was only a game, and the game designers weren’t into explicitly disgusting features . Otherwise, the lava would have melted their faces, creating an horrific, grotesque scene .

“Wow, disgusting indeed . This also melts the durability on our armor as well,” Lu Li said as he frowned .

Repairing armour was not that bad as this only required gold . As an Engineer, Lu Li could also construct a repair bot to repair the armour . The repair performed by the bot was even better than the normal blacksmith .

However, Lu Li’s greatest fear was running out of durability during the battle .

Besides a few special equips, the items in Dawn wouldn’t just ‘explode’ when they ran out of durability . However, the quality and effects of the items disappeared when the durability reached zero .

Imagine a squad without armor – even if the Boss had 10% HP, it would be impossible for them to defeat it .

“Take cover on the walls . Breezy, pull the Boss towards another direction . Do you still need my reminder for a Boss like this?”

Lu Li took all the melee combat players and took cover on the walls . This Boss was too versatile . It was only a dog, so how did it know to use its hindlegs to kick out?

Just then, Sakura Memories was struck by the Boss’ hindlegs and flew across the room .

It was a truly powerful kick . When she fell, she immediately died .

Azure Sea Breeze then pulled the Boss to face another direction so the melee classes were just dealing damage to its backside . If the Boss decided to kick again, at least they would only hit the walls, which reduced the damage dealt . Although it was still a considerable amount of damage, it was not enough to one-shot them .

“Hachi, revive Memories,” Lu Li instructed .

Hachi Chan immediately ran over to Sakura Memories and revived her .

“Sakura Memories! Get up! My husband has returned!”

Caw…caw…caw…

Everyone was stunned . What did Hachi Chan just say? A loli still in highschool had a husband? Where did he come from?

In the last update, a Call system was introduced when using skills .

This system bound voice recordings with the casting of skills . When the skill was used, the player would automatically say the pre-recorded phrase . This was introduced for better communication between players . For example, Sakura Memories would say, “Under my ancestors’ blessings, you will all become red and strong,” while using Bloodlust .

Some others were even more perplexing, and even Lu Li did not understand what they meant .

Another example was Wandering . When he used Riding, he would say: “Shook, Shook, Shook, Shook the Pilot!”

Azure Sea Breeze also had a call for his Riding skill as well .

“I am a Berserker! I spin and spin like a fan, but my cooldown is a minute and a half!”

Azure Sea Breeze was a defensive warrior, so Moonlight showed his displeasure every time Azure Sea Breeze cast this skill .

Could someone explain why a cute little girl would yell something like this?

The whole party just stood and remained speechless .

“Oi! Hachi, once we return, change your call!” Lu Li yelled strictly .

If Lu Xin was the one that said something like that, he would definitely punish her . He already promised Hachi Chan’s parents that he would take care of her and not lead her astray . However, now that something like this happened, he thought that he’d failed her parents .
