The Great Thief - Chapter 268

Chapter 268
Lu Li was shocked; could this be the legendary Mage Stealth Skill? He had seen it first-hand in his past life, but didn’t it have a three second cast time?


Could it be some overpowered skill that he didn’t know about?
System: Congratulations! You and your team have advanced to the next round . The next round will begin in 15 minutes .
He suddenly realized what had happened and couldn’t stop laughing .
It wasn’t an overpowered skill at all – the Mage saw that the situation was hopeless and had conceded the match . The System then teleported him back out into the world .
This was a common occurrence in most competitions . When a player thought it was over, they would quickly hide and leave to avoid being abused any further by their opponents .
Just like that, Lu Li had singlehandedly dealt with the entire other team .
“How are you feeling?” Lu Li asked March Rain .
March Rain blinked vacantly and replied, “I don’t feel much; I didn’t even get to do anything . How did we win?”
“Ugh, if I knew, I would have just fought them normally . ”
Lu Li had initially wanted to slowly show her what a competition was like, but he didn’t realize that she would lack confidence . This underexposure was just as bad as dropping her straight into the deep end . If March Rain hadn’t gotten any proper experience, then it would be better to go back to the Warsong Canyon for practice .
In the second round, they faced some decent opponents .
There was a Paladin with a one-handed sword, a Priest to Heal and a Warlock as the main DPS . This was a standard knight composition .
There were no real tricks to fighting a team like this, so Lu Li and Moonlight didn’t bother coming up with any real strategy .


“March, just follow what we’ve taught you . Keep at a distance and protect us . Try to keep us alive for as long as possible; Lighty and I will try to kill their Priest first . If we can kill their priest, we’ll definitely win,” Lu Li said, quickly briefing them on their tactics .
Seeing that March Rain was a little nervous, Moonlight comforted her . “Don’t worry – you’re level 26, so you’re at least two levels above them . As long as you heal yourself, they won’t be able to hurt you,” he gently said .
“Make sure you have the Regeneration skill casted on yourself at all times; you don’t have to start healing us right away,” Lu Li added .
March Rain clutched the mallet in her hands and nodded her head with determination .
The moment the round started, the Paladin and the Warlock ran straight at March Rain . The Warlock, on the other hand, made an early move – he quickly cast Fear on the Thief that hadn’t gone into Stealth .
From his perspective, the Thief was stupid not to be in Stealth, so he took the opportunity to use Fear on him . This would relieve a lot of the pressure on his side .
However, if he was an expert, he wouldn’t have immediately casted Fear on a non-stealthed Thief .
Now, this non-stealthed thief was simply strutting past them . Either he was a fool, or he had some other plan in mind .
Lu Li was obviously holding onto his skills .
Shadow Cloak!
In the moment of shock after all of the built-up suspense, Lu Li directly rushed at the opposing Priest .
Their Priest was also female, but she wasn’t as pretty as March Rain . She had a sad look on her face, perhaps in the hope that some players would pity her .
Unfortunately, Moonlight was a PVP maniac . He would kill the player in front of him regardless of their gender .


The poor Priest girl could only watch as the two other male players rushed towards her . After a few hits, she was removed from the match .
On the other side of the battefield, the Paladin was chasing March Rain, who was running around and healing herself .

This was the first time she was facing a dive-profession on her own . Although she was nervous, this wasn’t much unlike the experience she had when they were in the Warsong Canyon . She knew when to advance and when to retreat, so she could give herself opportunities to heal .
As well as this, she was well-equipped and her skills were quite strong .
The Paladin’s damage was much less than he had expected . The few hits that he did get in were easily recovered through March Rain’s Regeneration skill .
March Rain also kept Lu Li’s words in mind, ensuring that the Regeneration buff was always applied to her .
+20, +22, +18…
The low numbers were not to be underestimated, as the ticks were applied quite rapidly .
Before the Warlock could get in range to attack March Rain, he looked back to find that their Priest sister had already been killed .
Did they really need to be that aggressive!?
In a normal situation, a single DPS profession wouldn’t be able to kill a Healer in such a short amount of time . Obviously, Lu Li’s overpowered strength was the exception to this rule .
As he had no other choices, the Warlock pressed forwards to attack March Rain .
Their only chance was to kill the other Priest and level the playing field .
When that happened, they would have a Paladin that could heal and Warlock, against a Warrior and a Thief . There was still hope in that situation .
Moonlight was just about to go back and save March Rain before he was stopped by Lu Li .
He shook his head and said, “Let’s test March and see how long she can last . ”
Moonlight soon realized that this was a good way to see if March Rain could withstand the pressure of two players chasing her at once .
But what if March Rain died? Wouldn’t that affect the outcome of the match?
Of course not! Lu Li and Moonlight together had easily cleared-out teams of five players in the Warsong Canyon . They even dared to provoke teams of ten .
The technique of these other two players was pretty good, but they were nowhere good enough .
After Lu Li attacked, he realized that this Paladin had to be level 23 or below, as he couldn’t even deal the minimum damage on some of his skills . This meant that he was being penalized by the System .
Basically, Lu Li’s strength was affecting the game balance .
In his previous life, of those who participated in the tournament, only I No Understand had reached level 25 . Everyone else was still below level 25 .
Over half of I No Understand’s body was equipped with Silver equipment and he was level 25 . He uneventfully took the first prize for Glory Capital .
But now, I No Understand wasn’t even up to Lu Li’s current level . He was still one Boss away from gaining enough EXP to be level 25 .
On the other hand, Lu Li and the others had already reached level 26 .
The butterfly effect is a difficult thing to predict; it’s hard to say when the deviation occurred .
March Rain had 4 pieces of level 25 Silver equipment!
“Can you try a little harder? How is it that you’ve only taken 30% of her HP after so long?” the Warlock shouted at the Paladin, feeling a little resentful towards him .
You can hit her; then you’ll know why .
When he finally managed to attack her, he was shocked . His Shadow Bolt that usually dealt 150 damage only dealt a little more than 100 damage to March Rain .
This was the effect of the level penalty and the difference in equipment .
The Warlock immediately realized the cause of the problem .
Oh System Gods, this is so unfair . Why have you assigned us such a strong team?
“Kill this Priest . ”
The Warlock clenched his teeth and tried the best he could with the Paladin .
“Don’t panic, just make this Paladin waste his mana,” Lu Li said in the chatroom, while Moonlight leaned on his big axe and enjoyed the sight . 。
“Use Fear!” The Paladin had finally lowered March Rain’s HP down to 50% and hurriedly asked the Warlock to use his crowd control skill .
The Warlock found that his Fear cooldown had reset and immediately tried to cast it on March Rain .
