Chapter 337
Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations
When Bathiel fell, everyone let out a sigh of relief .
This was such a hard-fought battle because there were no shortcuts or strategies that could be taken advantage of . This fight tested the sheer willpower and strength of the team . The only way to pass this stage was to defeat as many Water Elementals in the shortest amount of time possible .
For example, if Lu Li and the others had made the slightest error, Bathiel would have devoured the 5th Water Elemental . This would have meant certain death for the entire party . Azure Sea Breeze particularly struggled in this fight; he was barely clinging on for life when Bathiel devoured the 4th Water Elemental .
If the entire team was defeated, they would lose the help of Scout Thaelrid, which would make this Instance Dungeon impossible to complete .
Luckily, Azure Sea Breeze was very skilled in Instance Dungeons and March Rain was able to maximize her potential as a priest .
Lu Li needed his teammates for all these First Clears and could never do it alone .
The decisive factor in a party was always the Healer and Main Tank; these two classes were essential to completing all Instance Dungeons in Dawn . Lu Li’s guidance and strategies only pointed them in the right direction and unless they were executed well, it would be all for nothing .
Everyone’s EXP bars increased quite significantly since the boss was level 30 .
Lu Li was now on 21% EXP at level 27 which placed him at 4th on the level rankings board . The three players ahead of him were Azure Sea Breeze, Lonesome Flower and March Rain .
These three had surpassed Lu Li because of the Defend the Meisnera Outpost quest . However, no one had received the bonus SP reward .
"I’m going to search his corpse . " Remnant Dream looked up into the sky as she clawed at Bathiel’s lifeless body . Others who were passing by would probably think that she was some sort of pervert .
"Go ahead . If we don’t get the Golden Weapon, we’ll sell you off to the merchants," Hachi Chan said .
"Fine, but if it drops, you become my pet," Remnant Dream replied as she looked at her best friend expectantly . These two had always had a good relationship, which was why Remnant Dream wanted her to become her little pet .
"In your dreams . You can’t even tame players as your pet so stop threatening me with your Tame Skill . "
"Hurry up . If you don’t, then I’ll do it," Wandering said impatiently . He was annoyed by the senseless conversation between the two girls .
"No! I want to do it!" Remnant Dream squealed as she jumped onto the corpse .
The first item was a level 30 Superior Silver equip – Curse of Bathiel . It had a special Cursed effect and was a great piece of equipment for Warlocks .
There was only one Warlock in the party, so Sesame Rice Ball happily accepted it .
The second drop was a rare material – Twilight Soul . Although it was very useful, it was also quite common in a lot of other areas . Even the Twilight Disciples dropped these, which made them very cheap and not worth selling .
The prices of Rare Materials were based on demand and supply .
If the demand was high and the supply was low, the material would sell for godly prices .
Lu Li remembered from his past life that the rarest material was called Krypton Dog Eye . This was a material used to craft the level 50 legendary ring . The only way to obtain it was to grind for countless hours in the Krypton mine – it had a minuscule drop rate . Each Eye could be sold for $1 . 7million in real life .
It might sound absurd, but those were the prices that rich people were willing to pay for a virtual game, especially those who were rich and were also contending to be the top player .
The third item that dropped was a skill book called Beacon of Light .
Beacon of Light: Your heals, including multi-heals, on other party members or raid members will also heal the Beacon of Light target for up to 50% of the amount healed . Your Flash of Light and Holy Light on the Beacon of Light target will also refund 40% of their mana cost .
This was a very powerful skill which made healing Paladins very strong .
There were currently no Paladin Healers in the Xin Xin Mercenary Group .
However, Ruling Sword had thousands of members, so Lu Li could easily find someone to give it to .
He was no longer that person who would do anything for money . He realised that the best way to earn money was to invest time and effort into a guild so that they could excel in tournaments .
Since they had completed the dungeon on Nightmare mode, they would be rewarded with more loot . Everyone was very excited for the last two items .
They all held their breath as Remnant continued to dig at the corpse .
A long staff was pulled out .
The loot that dropped from boss fights in Dawn wasn’t scattered around the ground like other games . You had to physically take it out of the Boss’ body which added to the realness of the game .
It was a giant staff with a yellow-orange gem – an exact replica of the one that Bathiel held during the fight .
Bathiel’s Staff – one of only two Gold drops that could be obtained from Blackfathom Deep .
From level 30 to 40, Bathiel’s Staff was considered to be the godliest weapon for DPS Mages . Anyone who equipped Bathiel’s Staff was considered an expert .
It had a very overpowered Special Effect – Spell Steal .
Spell Steal gave a player the chance to steal a beneficial magic effect from their target . Although a single buff did not seem like much, the effect was able to strength yourself and weaken your opponent at the same time .
If the Mage in a party had Bathiel’s staff, this would be extremely advantageous for them during Boss’ berserk mode because they would be able to steal it .
The skill book version of Spell Steal didn’t offer this feature; it was something exclusive to the special effect on Bathiel’s Staff . The special effect on the staff was the upgraded version of the Mage skill .
Comparatively, Lu Li’s Shadow Step on his cape was the weaker version of the Thief skill, Inferior Shadow Step .
The staff alone made the dungeon extremely worth it as it could be sold for a handsome amount of money .
"I’m good! I’m so good!" Remnant Dream smiled as she hugged the staff . Everyone patted her head and praised her unendingly .
Lu Li had to admit that she was a lucky charm for the party .
Normally, the only person Lonesome Flower cared about was his little sister; he only had her in his eyes . However, even he couldn’t hold back and beamed at Remnant Dream .
The Golden Staff could only be equipped by Mages, and as the only Mage in the party, he was the ecstatic recipient of it .
His goal was to out-DPS Lu Li . Although he was currently nowhere near Lu Li’s DPS, the Staff definitely closed the gap between them . However, his main goal right now was to level up to 30 for the Mage power spike .
Lu Li, just you wait .
After Bathiel was killed, the room faded away and everyone could see clearly again .
Surrounding them were metal cages, each imprisoning a frail and miserable prisoner . They seemed to be bound by some sort of magic, as they were all unconscious . These people were the sacrifices for Aku’Mai .
Before being fed to Aku’mai they were beaten and tortured .
"Cast a small Blizzard onto them," Lu Li said .
Lonesome Flower casted Blizzard without hesitating and the room was immediately filled with wind and snow .
