The Great Thief - Chapter 341

Chapter 341

So far, Nuo Yu had played three games and had infiltrated several guilds while undercover .

He had always been able to get close enough to learn the secrets of the guild in a few days . However, this time, it was different . Previously, there always some separation between those who were close to the guild and those who were outsiders . The core players would enjoy the benefits while the outsiders had to work their way in .

Almost all guilds operated in this manner .

Ruling Sword was an exception to this rule . Nuo Yu strangely felt like he had already been a part of this guild for a year or two .

Of course, it wasn’t just the Gangnam Royals who were interested in Ruling Sword’s progress in this Instance Dungeon . Other guilds that had the resources to support a spy had also funded one .

They now all knew everything; they even knew that Lu Li had left the guild to be run on its own .

They were aware that a new Instance Dungeon was about to be cleared and a new record set .

There were some other players who had obtained the Blackfathom Instance Dungeon Scroll, but no one had managed to complete it . In the chronicles of Dawn, the Blackfathom Instance Dungeon had yet to appear .

They also knew that Lu Li and the others were doing this Instance Dungeon at Nightmare Difficulty .

The big guilds were anxious, but they could only helplessly wait . In their hearts, they were continuously cursing Lu Li, hoping that he and the others would be vanquished by the monsters .

Lu Li and the others weren’t thinking about any of this .

Aku’mai’s frequent attacks truly turned the fight into a bitter struggle, especially since they had to dodge the four tentacles . When its HP reached 40%, they faced another big obstacle .

Aku’mai’s head was thrown and attached itself onto Azure Sea Breeze . It started dealing considerable damage, frighteningly without any intervals between each attack .

Two consecutive hits!

Seven consecutive hits!

Lu Li was shocked . The strategy guide that he had read made no mention of an attack like this .

Each attack dealt 600 damage . With seven consecutive hits, Azure Sea Breeze had suddenly lost 4000 HP . He only had between 3000-4000 HP and didn’t have the chance to cast his damage reduction skill so he was instantly killed .

When the Main Tank was one shot, everyone’s hearts sank .

Normally, Lu Li wouldn’t give up if there was even a glimmer of hope .

But was there any hope left?

No…

Even if Hachi Chan could Resurrect, this would take time . With Aku’mai’s attacks, anyone with less HP than Azure Sea Breeze would be instantly killed .

At this time, the quiet Thaelrid suddenly erupted .

His body was enveloped with a layer of dark green light and began to inflate . His originally slender Night Elf hands started transforming into huge claws .

He was a Worgen!

It turned out that Thaelrid was originally of Worgen descent .

He roared loudly in front of Aku’mai and began attacking with a renewed ferocity .

"Hachi, Resurrect Breezy . Wandering, don’t worry about this . Everyone calm down and focus on me . "

Lu Li forced himself to calm down and quickly urged his dazed teammates into action .

There was still hope; Thaelrid had just given it to them and it surprised them all .

This NPC had helped them with a lot .

Lu Li was really happy that he had uttered that single line back at the Blackfathom camp . It had led them onto the quest that ultimately allowed them to recruit the help of this NPC .

After Azure Sea Breeze was Resurrected, March Rain quickly filled up his HP . A player that was Resurrected would return with critical HP, so if he was accidentally hit by the Boss, their efforts would have been in vain .

Thaelrid then retreated to make space for Azure Sea Breeze to move back in .

He was an NPC so he couldn’t receive healing or take potions . Every point of HP lost was lost forever, so facing the Boss upfront like that was suicidal .

Lu Li also noticed that the transformation gave him bonus defense and damage reduction, but reduced his damage significantly . As such, it wasn’t worth it to keep attacking anyway .

Accidents were bound to occur from time to time; Lu Li had underestimated the difficulty of the Nightmare Difficulty Instance Dungeon .

Azure Sea Breeze and March Rain were now playing with their full attention, ensuring that another 7-hit, one-shot overpowered skill wouldn’t work again .

Fortunately, that same skill wasn’t cast again for a long time .

In fact, most of Lu Li’s predecessors would have chosen to complete the Elite or Hero Difficulty of this Instance Dungeon . There were few players who cleared it at Nightmare Difficulty .

As such, it wasn’t unusual that they hadn’t encountered something like this .

However, this incident also woke Lu Li up . Strategy guides could be used, but they had to be taken with a grain of salt . Many things planned by humans are destroyed by chance .

At 30% HP, Aku’mai would summon a vortex that could swallow a player into the abyss .

If a player didn’t know that this was going to happen, there was nothing that they could do to stop it .

If the vortex swallowed the Main Tank or the Healer, they basically had to give up . No matter how overpowered they were, all who fell in would die . Even Lu Li’s Gale Steps wouldn’t help .

However, through countless experiences and thousands of defeats, the previous players had summarized a set of rules .

If Aku’mai summoned the vortex into the abyss when its head was crooked to the left, the players on its left were most likely to get sucked in .

The opposite was true for the right side .

Additionally, if Aku’mai summoned the vortex and a player was stunned by one of the tentacles, they

would not be sucked in .

These rules could be used to their advantage .

As such, when fighting Aku’mai, they had to carefully watch its face .

Lu Li squinted his eyes and watched Aku’mai’s HP . He was also trying to calculate the position and timing of the four stunning images . He hadn’t been to school and didn’t know much, let alone the Pythagorean Theorem, but this didn’t prevent his ability to observe .

"Everyone pay attention . Get ready to move to the location I specify . "

Lu Li started to allocate everyone to a different location . Even Azure Sea Breeze was assigned a location, despite being unable to move at that moment . He had to wait until Aku’mai moved before he did .

"I am in the middle . When I call left, then everyone on the left will run with me to a place where you can get stunned by the tentacles . If I call right, then everyone on the right will run with me . Wandering and Breezy, you guys take one side each and draw the Boss’ aggro accordingly . Do you understand?"

"What if the images go back into the ground?" Wandering asked .

"I’ve calculated it and we probably wouldn’t be that unlucky," Lu Li replied, then paused for a moment before continuing, "But if that happens, when I call left, Dreamy, Moonlight, Memories and Riceball, you guys should run to my left while everyone else stays on the other side . If I call right, you guys should run to my right…"

This meant that Remnant Dream and the four others, including Lu Li, would lose one player at a time .

Losing a DPS player would make things a little more difficult, but it was better than losing a Healer or a Main Tank . Once the Healer or Main Tank died, there would be no hope left .

Aku’mai’s HP slowly dropped and everyone held their breath as they knew the storm was coming .

"The images are still here . Left side come with me . "

Azure Sea Breeze and the four others ran together .

Without any hesitation, the image flapped down twice and stunned them all .

At this time, a rotating object appeared above the top of the team on the left . It had appeared over March Rain and produced a great force that wanted to suck the little Priest away .
