Chapter 354
Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations
The Wolf Riders, who had been critically wounded by the Paladin, turned away and started running .
The Orcs would rather live than die and this made perfect sense, especially for an intelligent NPC who was a Boss .
"Master, shame must be cleansed with blood . We cannot let them escape . "
Lu Li was anxious . These were three level 30 Bosses – if they didn’t at least kill one of them, he would have just wasted the day .
As soon as the word ‘shame’ was mentioned, the Paladin’s eyes turned red .
These dirty Orcs - they actually built a camp in his area . This masked Elf is right; blood has to be shed today . The blood of death to repay the shame!
"Attack!"
Delgren roared and charged his horse ahead . The spear in his hand pierced the wolf’s head and flung the Orc off its back .
The other two Wolf Riders didn’t stop for their fallen companion; they continued fleeing without looking back .
The Wolf Rider who was knocked-down knew he couldn’t get away, so he gave up his intention to flee . Instead, he put on a ferocious look and desperately roared as he raised his hand to attack .
Although the Wolf Rider had lost its wolf, it was still a Boss and it fought with even greater ferocity now that it didn’t have a means of escape .
"Attack the Boss!" The players weren’t afraid, in fact, they were further invigorated .
Lu Li was also very excited because he had already dealt a lot of the damage to the Boss . As such, once it was killed, he was likely to be the one with the authority to take the equipment .
Normally, a level 30 Wild Boss would have resulted in a lot of bloodshed .
However, with the NPCs’ help, it was significantly easier .
As the Orc Calvary also crashed into them, the players in front of him were knocked away and took significant damage .
However, Lu Li wanted the equipment, so he couldn’t falter now . If anyone dealt more damage to the Boss than he did, then he would lose the authority to claim the equipment .
Fortunately, NPC Paladin Delgren was there and his spear racked-up Orc-kills .
The two Bosses were eventually engaged in an even battle, while the other players were basically just fodder . Every now and then, players would be knocked aside, and some would even be killed in mid-air .
Lu Li thought that this Wolf Rider was a character that had slowly upgraded to Boss status and as such, would be weaker than the Instance Dungeon Bosses . However, he now had to admit how wrong he was .
Often, intelligence was a very powerful thing to have .
Compared to an Instance Dungeon Boss, this Wolf Rider had survived with its high intelligence .
There were no rules to the Wolf Rider’s method of fighting, and no strategy to deal with it . No one ever wrote about how these NPC soldiers could be effectively dealt with either .
The normal taunt skills were absolutely futile against it, and it didn’t cast its skills in a predictable manner like an Instance Dungeon Boss would .
In less than half a minute, a dozen players were killed . It would then follow this up by killing one player every minute .
It could dodge, move and cast skills whenever it felt like it . Lu Li was once almost hit by one of its strong attacks, but he just managed to cast Gale Steps just in time .
Paladin Delgren, who was already seriously injured, received a few more additional wounds . If it weren’t for Meisnera providing support from behind, Lu Li questioned whether he could have defeated this Wolf Rider alone .
One side was fighting for duty and honor, but the other side was fighting for their life .
The Wolf Rider soon came to the end of its life, but its fighting was heroic and fearless in the face of two other Bosses .
As it was pierced by Delgren’s spear, the last of his HP dwindled away .
Lu Li then received a prompt from the System that he had gained EXP . It wasn’t that much, as Paladin Delgren was the primary source of damage and the players were just barely supporting him .
Was he going to get the equipment?
The rules for equipment to drop in Dawn depended on the environment and the circumstance . It was different for every case .
In the current situation, if a player or a party had dealt the most damage and had reached a certain threshold, they would have priority in picking it up . If the threshold wasn’t reached, the equipment would explode in random directions and would be free for anyone to pick up .
Fortunately, it didn’t just explode into different directions, which indicated that someone had met the minimum damage threshold .
"Why can’t I pick it up?" someone said loudly .
The moment this person cried out, everyone rushed towards him .
No one could the resist the item that a level 30 Boss could have dropped . Meisnera was a little confused because no one was paying any attention to her, but the others could look at her any time they wanted .
Lu Li placed his hand over the Wolf Rider and prayed for a second before looting it .
He was actually quite anxious and worried that the System might tell him that he didn’t have the authority to loot it .
Fortunately, that didn’t happen . Something appeared in his hand and Lu Li quickly shoved it into his bag as he continued looting…
He first grabbed two small items, before getting a skill book and a large, two-handed axe .
The first two items were quite inconspicuous, but when a giant axe appeared in Lu Li’s hands, everyone knew that he was the one taking all the items .
"Hand the items over and we’ll spare your life," someone said ominously .
"Everyone contributed, you can’t just take it all," another interjected . However, if they had traded places, you would never hear a sentence like that from them .
"If you offend so many of us, do you think you’ll be able to continue playing this game?"
Lu Li began to sweat .
Gale Steps was on cooldown; he had just used it in the fight .
What about his shoe’s effect? There were hundreds of players surrounding him; there was nowhere for him to go .
Looking left and right, he couldn’t find a way to safely fight his way out .
The game still had to be balanced – you couldn’t fight hundreds of players at once no matter how strong you were . Everyone only had to cast one normal skill to instantly kill him .
"Thank you all for your help; you can claim your rewards from Meisnera . I will need some time alone with this Thief . "
Paladin Delgren was sitting on his horse watching over them . Just as the crowd was about to attack him, he suddenly spoke up .
Dammit, who do you think you are? If it weren’t for us, you would have already died to the Wolf Rider . The players almost laughed out loud, but they kept that thought to themselves and refused to listen to his order .
These players felt like they were the reason that the Orcs had retreated . However, in reality, if it weren’t for the role that Delgren and Meisnera had played, there would have been a continuous swarm of reinforcements .
The players weren’t really paying any attention .
"Attack!" Delgren suddenly raised his spear and thrust it out with force .
This wasn’t a regular thrust – this was the move he had performed when he defeated the Wolf Rider . However, this time, the thrust was directed at the players .
A dozen players instantly died .
