The Great Thief - Chapter 236

Chapter 236
For Serpentis to successfully cast Sweep, he had to complete quite a few actions, but these were done very quickly . If it weren’t for Lu Li’s instruction, Wandering probably wouldn’t have reacted in time .


The second Sweep was coming!
As Serpentis twisted around, he completely changed the direction that he was facing . He then swiped his claws at Lu Li from left to right . He had clearly been waiting for this opportunity to hit the player that he hated .
Gale Steps!
The effect activated with a sound, and Lu Li didn’t lose a single point of HP .
“Pick up the output speed! Let’s finish this off quickly and defeat the Boss in one go!” Lu Li shouted, trying to inspire his team .
In one go?
Everyone’s spirits had been lifted; why not?
No one questioned why Lu Li was so familiar with this Instance Dungeon . All they knew was that Lu Li’s instructions were extremely precise and took into account even the smallest of details .
This precision infinitely boosted their confidence .
Lu Li had once again refreshed their perceptions of him, especially for the older party-members like Azure Sea Breeze and Lonesome Flower .
The previous First Clears had not happened by some kind of miracle .
Everyone focused even harder on hitting the Boss . After hearing the command, the already efficient damage output was increased by a significant amount .


If another person had seen this, they would have yelled about how it wasn’t possible or fair .
Rumbling Gorge, Stonetalon Mountains .
This was the battlefield where the advance of the Burning Legion was resisted . The Rumbling Gorge was a barren place – there was nothing herem other than rocks and yellow soil . However, this place spawned LV20-22 Rock Monsters, which had a relatively quick refresh rate . This made it suitable for training in large parties .
Today, the Glory Capital had taken over this entire area .
The Gorge’s surroundings were completely filled with the Glory Capital’s Elite players . There were even players standing at the top of the hill . Many of them had a high level of detection, which enabled them to detect any Stealthed-Thief activity .
A person who was mathematically in-tune would quickly realize that this small map contained over a thousand Glory Capital players .
This was so extravagant!
They’ve already taken over the area! Do they really need to have that much security? These were the thoughts and insults of the ordinary players .
The monsters in the wide-open Rumbling Gorge were being pulled in as soon as they spawned . There was a little protected area that contained more than a few hundred monsters .
Five mages would cast Blizzard at the same time, clearing out all of the monsters within a few minutes .
If their MP ran out, they would immediately retreat to regenerate and would be substituted by another player . This player would immediately and relentlessly start to cast their skills . There wasn’t a single moment of quiet in this monster-farming frenzy .
According to Dawn’s rules, a player could share in their party’s EXP, as long as they participated .
This was the main method used to farm for someone else . Most rich players would do this, but the game company had no intention of stopping them .


There was no true equality in this world – those who were rich had a definite advantage over the others . This allowed them to increase their levels quickly, but it wasn’t a large enough advantage to break the balance within the game .
Moreover, this kind of gameplay created opportunities for other players to earn money .

However, even this couldn’t be compared to Lu Li’s bomb farming . That was a borderline bug .
“Boss, you should rest for a bit . ”
Blood Dagger, the Thief who made ordinary players tremble, walked over . His eyes were filled with worship for the frenzied Mage before him .
Yes, not respect or awe, but worship .
The members of the Glory Capital were unwavering as they continued to release their spells onto the Rock Monsters before them . The rate at which Blizzards were being cast was perfect for the rate at which the monsters were being pulled-in . It wasn’t too fast or too slow, so no effort was being wasted .
“Boss, you’ve been doing this for over 5 hours . The others are worried,” Blood Dagger said as he swallowed his saliva and gritted his teeth .
“Think back – how many years has it been since I farmed for 4 days in a row in ‘Fantasy World’? After that, I was so tired that I was just looking for a safe place to sleep,” Sorrowless asked as he continued farming .
“It’s been eleven years . We didn’t know anything then; we were gaming noobs,” Dagger sighed as he reminisced .
“Yeah, starting from ‘Fantasy World’, I’ve played one game after another . I don’t know when I started to suspect my own abilities . ” Sorrowless cast one last skill before taking two steps back and downing a Mana Potion .
Advanced Mana Potions were a valuable item that would never circulate on the market .
“Don’t say that Boss . Glory Capital is only the number one guild because of you,” Blood dagger said sincerely .
Although they were said to hold a 100-year-old name, the Gangnam Royals just couldn’t be compared to the Glory Capital . They had risen and fallen many times . At their worst point, their name was all that they had left . However, Sorrowless took over the Glory Capital at a critical moment, when he was a young, handsome boy . He had used 10 of his best years to create this legendary guild .
“A thief,” Sorrowless said, smiling bitterly . “The once number one Lord Mage didn’t even have the strength to fight back before he was killed . ”
In reality, Sorrowless still cared about his performance, but he needed to remain calm so that his guild members also would .
Sorrowless didn’t like the feeling of death, even in a game . That is why he established his influence, so that countless other players would be willing to die for him .
However, he didn’t think that someone would be able to approach him, especially under such tight protection . But what was even more unexpected was the player’s skill . He had killed him before he could even react .
It was as easy as killing a chicken .
Sorrowless had spent last night alone, before starting to madly farm early in the morning .
“Bro, I am incompetent, but have we found out who it was?” Blood Dagger asked in shame .
“I don’t blame you – that person was really strange . How did he know Nightedge?” Even now, Sorrowless still felt a chill when he thought back to the moment .
It wasn’t unusual to have someone know you well – everyone had friends and family . But for someone who he didn’t know to understand him to such an extent was horrifying .
“I’ve asked Nightedge; he doesn’t know him either,” Blood Dagger said quietly . “Do you want me to send someone into the Chrysanthemum Blossom Brigade? I feel as though Nightedge has been separating himself from us recently . ”
“No need . If Nightedge says he doesn’t know him, then he doesn’t know . That person never lies,” Sorrowless said, shaking his head .
“Then… could it be Darkness?” Blood Dagger asked cautiously .
Sorrowless’ face was stiff at first, before it transformed into a more complex and difficult look . He even stopped casting his skills and turned to face him .
Only a few people knew about the presence of Nightedge . As such, if something had happened, Darkness must have had something to do with it .
But now that it had been said aloud, it sounded a little contrived .
Nightedge, Sorrowless and Blood Dagger had been friends since childhood .
Darkness was Nightedge’s sister . No one knew when it had started, but Sorrowless had developed feelings for her .
However, he was a reserved person and was the heart of a guild, so he never confessed .
Later, one of Darkness’ best friends had developed feelings for Sorrowless . His following rejection pushed her to attempt suicide . She then left the country and Darkness had hated him ever since .
The poor, game God now had no chance to confess his feelings and unload the burden on his mind .
“I’ll find someone to keep an eye on her . The fact that she is in the Light Faction is no problem . ”
Blood Dagger didn’t know what else to say .
“Oh yeah, what about the person who killed you? Do you know what that was?” Sorrowless sighed and shifted the topic .
