The Great Thief - Chapter 269

Chapter 269
“If he tries to use Fear on you, cast Regeneration on yourself, and then cast a damage reduction skill on yourself . If you ever get an anti-debuff skill in the future, you can use that to protect yourself . Even though the Warlock’s Fear is an instant-cast, he still needs to pick a target and perform some hand gestures . If you are observant enough, you’ll see it coming,” Lu Li casually instructed March Rain .


March Rain pursed her lips together and stared at the Warlock’s Magic Staff .
The Warlock completed the hand gestures before raising his staff and casting the skill . After he cast it, both he and the Paladin felt like they were about to cry .
It wasn’t that March Rain hadn’t been affected, but that she had become even harder to kill after being Feared .
In addition to the Regeneration and damage-reduction skill, she had also cast Power Word Shield on herself .
Fear was primarily used to cancel or interrupt skills . March Rain was currently running around like a headless fly, but if she took any damage, she would recover from this Feared state .
The Warlock and Paladin angrily attacked her, but even with a coordinated attack, they could only deal 60% of March Rain’s HP .
After recovering, March Rain immediately started Healing herself again .
“We need to find a way to get March the ‘Psychic Scream’ skill book . She’s too passive,” Lu Li said, summing up the situation he had been observing .
Psychic Scream was a Priest crowd control skill . After its use, up to five players within 8 yards would be put into a confused state . If these players didn’t take any damage, this state could last for 8 seconds .
The use of Psychic Scream could instantly change the tides of a battle .
“Psychic Scream would be pretty good . I’ll ask some of my friends to see if they have it . ” Moonlight was deep in thought .
“March Rain also has some issues with positioning – she hasn’t fully understood the environment around her,” Lu Li noted .
“That’s how it is when you’re new; you just have to slowly learn . ”
Moonlight maintained an optimistic attitude; he was quite satisfied with March Rain’s performance .


“Uh, we’re not really in a hurry to win, so you can take your time . ”
If they wanted to advance and enter the top 10000, they would probably need to fight in another dozen matches . March Rain still had many chances to practice her PVP skill and positioning .
With Lu Li and Moonlight’s ability alone, they could easily advance, even without a Healer .
“A Priest should always try to burn their opponent’s mana . A Paladin with no mana is useless,” Lu Li couldn’t help but remind March Rain again .
March Rain took a step back and cast Mana Burn on the Paladin .
The Paladin already had a pitifully small pool of Mana, and Mana Burn’s cooldown was quite short . After March Rain had cast Mana Burn three times in succession, the Paladin didn’t have a single point of Mana left .
Lu Li was right . Without Mana, the Paladin couldn’t cast any skills and had to resort to using his ordinary attacks with his single-handed sword .
Did the Paladin think he was a Warrior or a Thief?
The Paladin’s ordinary attacks had embarrassingly low damage and an extremely slow attack speed .
He quickly realized that his efforts were futile .
The Warlock wasn’t afraid of Mana Burn as he could summon Hellhounds that could do the same thing . However, March Rain’s equipment was so good that her Intelligence attribute was high enough to cast off the Warlock’s Mana Burn . She had no reason to be afraid of him .
The battle between them went on like this: one of them would attack while the other would Heal .
In addition to healing herself and occasionally retaliating, March Rain also periodically ensured that the Paladin never had enough mana to cast skills .
“Dammit, let’s leave . ”


If the Warlock and Paladin hadn’t worked out by now that she was training, they probably had something wrong with their brains .
At first, they wanted to kill her in their anger . But now that they had discovered that they couldn’t kill her at all, they couldn’t do anything but admit defeat and leave .
The System prompted them again that they had won .

“How did it feel this time?” Lu Li asked with a smile .
After their previous battle, March Rain had said that she didn’t feel much, but he wouldn’t believe her if she said the same thing this time .
“It was really exciting! If I had more time, I feel like I could have killed them both!”
March Rain’s eyes were sparkling; she was obviously really excited .
“You wouldn’t have had enough mana,” Moonlight laughed .
“Oh yeah, I don’t have enough mana . ”
She had to Heal and attack on top of the Hellhounds constantly burning her mana . March Rain didn’t actually have much mana left either .
Her opponents only needed to wait a little longer for her to run out of mana…
After they exited the battlefield, the System began the countdown once again . After 15 minutes had passed, they were prompted to enter the arena again .
Warrior, Mage, Shaman .
This composition was quite similar to the previous one . They had physical melee damage, Magic ranged damage and a Healer .
However, this time, March Rain was much more active .
The most important thing was that they kept practicing . Moonlight engaged the opposing Warrior and Lu Li pestered the opposing Shaman, while March Rain took on the opposing Mage .
Lu Li used his Cloak’s effect and appeared behind the Shaman before casting Sap .
The opposing Mage quickly jumped in and sent a Blizzard in their Shaman’s direction . This area of effect crowd control skill was intended to force Lu Li to give up on attacking their Healer .
However, Lu Li had already escaped and was watching the fun from a distance .
March Rain lifted her hand and attacked the Mage .
The Mage was their party leader and he initially wanted to retreat, as their Healer had been Sapped . But what confused him was that this Priest, a healing profession, had for whatever reason taken the initiative to attack a Mage .
For a moment, he felt like he had swapped professions with March Rain .
When Moonlight finally reached the other Warrior, they began to relentlessly swing their axes at each other, like two axe demons .
At first, the Mage didn’t pay much attention to March Rain . After all, her wasn’t very high . Instead, he focused his attention on Moonlight .
However, Moonlight did something even more surprising – he immediately cast a damage reduction skill .
March Rain saw that the Mage was ignoring her, so she decisively cast Mana Burn .
Although Mages had quite a lot of mana – even more than Warlocks – he couldn’t allow this to go on for too long . As such, he commanded the Warrior to go and attack March Rain .
A Warrior and a Mage was much more challenging compared to a Paladin and a Warlock .
Even so, March Rain wasn’t afraid at all . She was actually excited that they had ganged-up on her and was having a lot of fun fighting them .
Moonlight continued to harass the Warrior to make it difficult for him to attack March Rain . “I can’t speak about anything else, but from what I’ve seen, March Rain is quite suited for competitions,” he said to Lu Li .
To be unafraid in battle – this was the simplest of requirements .
As for her skills, how would March Rain ever know the consequences of attacking a Mage if she didn’t experience it?
Of course, all of this was to train March Rain’s battle sense .
When they started to fight high-level teams, she would need to independently do her job of healing .
“For Mages, you should burn their mana when you can . Even if you don’t have time to do it properly, it can still help relieve pressure from your teammates,” Lu Li instructed, after casting Sap on the Shaman .
“But, he doesn’t deal that much damage . What should I do if I’m facing a Mage that deals high damage?” March Rain asked while she continued fighting .
“It’s good that you though of a question like that,” Moonlight praised .
‘To infer different information from the same lesson and learn by analogy’ was easier said than done .
“You are a healer, so don’t focus on trying to kill them,” Lu Li advised . “Everything you do should involve staying alive and providing healing . ”
“Then how should I protect myself?”
As she said this, March Rain was hit by the Warrior’s Charge . This gave the Mage a chance to cast an incredibly strong skill . Working together, they had both taken almost half of March Rain’s HP .
“What do you think you should do?” Lu Li wasn’t worried at all . He gently stroked his dagger and held back any impulses to stab the Shaman .
