Chapter 1360: 1360

1360 King of the Hounds







"They accepted, but I did my own thing and made it 1500 gold," Square Root Three replied back to Lu Li .

After seeing this message, Lu Li lost count of how many times they had wiped .

This Boss was actually quite strong .

The reason behind their wipes was the crowd control . Furthermore, it was cast at the beginning of the battle . As soon as the melee classes were hit, the aggro was completely lost .

After testing out Magmadar and wiping countless times in the process, Lu Li tried not letting the melee classes DPS attack at the start . He wanted them to wait until the first AoE Fear was over before they began attacking . Everyone stood 35 metres away from the Boss because this was the range of the skill .

Melee classes would try their best to dodge the Fear or use whatever they had at their disposal to dispel the Fear .

It was harder for the Main Tank though . Azure Sea Breeze had to build up enough aggro, so he couldn't dodge .

The Main Tank would be inflicted by Fear, then the Priests would have to run to him and it, despite being the furthest away . Then, the Priests and other healers would also be inflicted with Fear . Because of this, no one was able to heal the Main Tank, so he would die . After this happened, the rest of the team would follow .





As soon as the king of the hounds made his way into the middle of the cloth-armor players, it was over .

There was another way that they were being wiped other the healers being Feared . When the Main Tank was Feared, the aggro levels would drop . Then, the Boss would instantly run towards the long-ranged classes, which resulted in an absolute massacre .

Main Tanks were extremely important in the fight against Magmadar . They needed to pull him towards them straight away and needed to be alert for the first Fear, because no one knew when it would come . The Priests were also extremely important because they needed to dispel the Fear on the Main Tank as soon as possible .

There was another difficult – pulling the monsters .

Under normal circumstances, the Main Tank would always pull the Boss in a certain direction so that its rear was facing towards the rest of the team . This would reduce the effectiveness of AoE skills to a certain degree . However, this didn't work here, since the Priests would be even further away from the Main Tank with the Boss in the middle .

A Priest's heal range was around 40 metres and the Boss already took up 5 metres . Therefore, using this strategy wouldn't work, because the remaining distance was 35 metres, which was in the range of Fear .

If the healers were inflicted with Fear, then who could heal the Main Tank?

These were all problems that naturally came with Fear . They managed to use these squad wipes and practiced their reaction times and positioning . As a result, they quickly entered phase two . In this phase of the battle, there was another flame-based skill that they had to deal with .


Players hated this as it looked like the Boss was spitting his phlegm on the ground .





The phlegm that Magmadar spat out would ignite into little bonfires . These dealt damage to their surroundings within a certain range . The closer the player got, the more damage it dealt . The damage was so high that no one would be able to hold their own against it .

Obviously, the sense would dictate to not get close to the fire .

However, if a player was Feared, they would lose control of their movements .

There were many times when players were Feared, then ran into the fire . It was fortunate that this game wasn't that realistic, or else the whole instance dungeon would be filled with the aroma of cooked meat .

The pressure was much heavier on Healers . DPS classes didn't hope for Healers to heal them while healing the Main Tank as well . Lu Li for example was prepared with elixirs, potions and bandages to restore his HP .

The hardest part about phase two was Enrage . This skill gave the Boss a 100% boost in Attack, while increasing attack speed by 50% . This also gave him a chance at one-shotting a target .

They had entered phase two a few times but had wiped every time .

As soon as they entered phase two, the Enrage effect was renewed consecutively . Remnant Dream alone was not enough to deal with it .  

Tranquilising Shot had the effect of dispelling the Enraged status . Enrage was different to Berserk, which couldn't be dispelled . Furthermore, Tranquilising Shot lowered the defense of the target a little, so it was better to use in PVP situations .





To spend 1500 gold on this…Lu Li's heart hurt .

However, when comparing this cost to the extremely small possibility of them defeating Magmadar with one Hunter with the skill, the 1500 gold was able to be forgotten .

Square Root Three didn't reveal his own identity, so the squad leader didn't know that it was Ruling Sword's Lu Li who wanted the book .

Of course, if this squad leader knew who the buyer was, then he might have lowered the price much further . After all, there weren't many chances of building connections with major players like Lu Li . He might have even been one of Lu Li's fans . If he had revealed his identity, then it would have been easier for Square Root Three .

However, Lu Li and Square Root Three weren't that interested in building relationships in general . They didn't feel that everyone should be giving him what he wanted just because of his identity .

Actually, it was more likely that the squad leader didn't give up on a high price not because Lu Li was the buyer, but maybe because he wanted to test the buyer out . After all, if it was a normal player who was the buyer instead of the leader of a major guild, then the amount that the buyer was willing to pay would differ greatly .

Take a basket of apples that were grown from the same tree for example . Perhaps those people in poverty couldn't even afford a dollar for a kilogram . However, for those in the richer areas, if the packaging was nicer, then even they wouldn't complain about ten dollars for a kilogram .

After getting wiped again, Lu Li exited the dungeon and received the book that he just bought .

This book became one of the greatest investments into the Molten Core . After giving it to Bearded Zaza, Lu Li didn't hesitate to deduct 50 points from him .

Bearded Zaza wasn't even angry . He felt like he benefitted greatly from this .

This was because he already knew the jaw-dropping price of the book . It was much more expensive than the legendary equipment .

As soon as they began, Lu Li already told them about the value of this skill book .

He wasn't the type of person to contribute silently . If he didn't say, then how would the others know the magnitude of their benefits? Otherwise, Bearded Zaza might have argued for 25 points . After all, that was the price that he put in for the book that Remnant Dream ended up taking .

One book wasn't enough . Before the cooldown reset, the Boss already entered another Enraged state . Now that they had two Tranquillity Shots, Enrage was no longer a problem .

It took Bearded Zaza a couple of tries to get used to casting the skill, so they wiped two to three times . After this, they finally entered phase three .

Phase three wasn't that different to phase two; it was simply another copy . The only difference was that it was a little more difficult to dispel the Enrage .

The difficulty didn't increase to the point where Hunters couldn't deal with it . Theoretically, it was still possible for two Hunters to completely dispel the status, that was, if they listened to Lu Li's instructions .

Simply put, Magmadar would be a piece of cake if they listened to Lu Li . If not, then this King of the Hounds would be terrifying .
