Chapter 382: The Tenacity of a Commander

Doan didn’t realize that his signature skill had created a chance for his opponents .

As the battle slowly continued, he began to realize that limiting his actions would only cause the situation to spin out of control .

As such, he stopped holding back .

"Heal! Don’t worry about anything else; top up everyone’s health," Lu Li shouted .

March Rain and Hachi Chan had already been previously reminded by Lu Li . They casted whatever skills they had, whether it was a heal-over-time or a skill kept for emergencies . As long as it was a skill that healed, they would rain it down on their team members and soon enough, everyone’s health bar was full .

"Use damage reduction once your health drops below half . If your health is too low, drink potions . The most important thing is to stay alive," Lu Li added .

As his sentence finished, a clear encasement hovered over the entire battleground .

This was the Zone of Silence . As the name suggested, it was a skill that applied a silence effect in a massive range . The effect lasted for a total of thirty seconds .

Even Lu Li would be able to kill decent player within thirty seconds, let alone a Boss .

Azure Sea Breeze’s health quickly dropped to half . He had already used his damage reduction and drank a potion . Heeven casted Shadowmeld to leave battle, but he still couldn’t manage to survive .

Without Azure Sea Breeze to hold down the fort, Wandering became the second unlucky target . He activated his damage reduction and drank a potion after two hits, but he didn’t last long either .

With two of the tanks down, the boss’ target choice became a mess .

Doan aimed for anyone that he could catch, and Remnant Dream was quickly slain on the spot with Lonesome Flower following .

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to escape, they just didn’t have the time . An attack that even the main tank couldn’t handle would only deal even more damage to them .

Shadowmeld was a skill that allowed players to exit out of combat, but it wasn’t a skill that made players invincible .

For players or monsters, the sudden disappearance would have some effect, but for a Boss, it was different . When a player was a lower level than them, the effects of any skills would be reduced .

"Don’t run around aimlessly . Calm down and do as much as damage as you all can; he doesn’t have much health left . " Lu Li’s tone was steady, perhaps a little too steady, almost to the point where it was eerie . In a circumstance like this, he still didn’t show any negative emotion . The rise in his voice volume was only so that the others could hear him better .

This was the tenacity of a commander . Sometimes, a player’s mental qualities were more important than their gaming talent .

After Lonesome Flower hit the floor, the Boss attacked Sakura Memories . As soon as the female Shaman’s health bar was emptied, Doan turned towards Lu Li .

Lu Li took two hits before he disappeared with Gale Steps .

Doan stared blankly for a brief moment, but his hands didn’t stop . After two hand gestures, Arcane Missiles appeared and flew right towards March Rain’s chest .

March Rain was a Priest, so her attributes and equipment leaned towards intelligence and special effects for healing, but she did place some points into her Constitution . Even though she was a cloth-geared class, she would be able to take about three attacks .

However, Lu Li didn’t dare let her take three hits . Doan still had group spells reserved for everyone .

"Light, Intervene, now!"

Moonlight immediately responded; his body glided and he appeared beside March Rain like a shadow .

The 200% movement speed buff wasn’t any slower than a teleport . Before the second skill landed, Moonlight was already standing beside March Rain, ready to take the damage .

In Dawn, it was always easier for Warriors and Paladins to get the girls . Thieves and Mages were destined to stay single forever .

Right after, Moonlight raised his giant axe and smashed it into Doan’s head, which successfully drew the attention to himself . March Rain made it out alive .

Moonlight’s attributes were focused on Strength and his gear also leaned towards dealing damage . Even though he wore plated armor, he couldn’t take more than a few hits either . Fortunately, the Zone of Silence had broken and everyone regained their freedom .

"Revive Breeze . Light, hold the boss for a bit," Lu Li shouted .

Moonlight didn’t have much health left, so for him to continue holding the boss meant that he was going to be sacrificed for time .

Moonlight didn’t have any objections; he didn’t even frown . At this point in time, no one else besides him would be able to buy the team some time . Originally, this was supposed to be Wandering’s job, but Wandering was already lying dead on the cold floor . Without the invincibility skill, Paladins were also a piece of cake .

With the resurrection from Hachi Chan, Azure Sea Breeze pulled himself up from the floor . He took up the aggression again and diverted all of his depression at the boss .

Moonlight didn’t end up dying; March Rain’s healing techniques were excellent and she also had a lot of life-saving skills .

This meant that besides the main tank and healer, there were still three damage dealers left: Lu Li, Moonlight and Sesame Rice Ball . The others were all dead .

The Boss had 13% health remaining, but with less people dealing the damage, his health bar dropped very slowly .

"Stay steady, we can do this . Don’t give up, even if there’s only one of us left . March, bring everyone’s health back up . " Lu Li tried his best to encourage everyone . Each move of his dagger sent blood flying in the air; these were all high completions .

"This is so hard," March Rain whispered softly . She was under a lot of pressure in this fight .

"There’s no way Nightmare mode would be easy, but the boss will drop good things too," Lu Li explained briefly .

If it wasn’t Nightmare mode, it would be hard for the Dog Whistle to drop . Even if it was a First Clear, there was definitely no chance for the boss to drop what he wanted - the Ravenholdt Emblem .

A First CLear wasn’t too important for Lu Li, even though everyone was paying attention to who would get it for the Scarlet Library .

Ruling Sword, or rather, Lu Li himself, no longer needed First Clears to prove anything .

At least, in the short term, even Sorrowless couldn’t surpass him when it came to dungeon First Clears . It wouldn’t be a big deal to let him take a Fist Clear for once . Even if Lu Li took a step back, there was no guarantee that Sorrowless would be able to pass him .

Doan’s raised to release an Arcane Explosion . This was a group attack spell and everyone lost about half of their health bar . However, because of Lu Li’s foresight, March Rain had already topped up everyone’s health, so no one died to it .

Doan’s health dropped to 10%; Lu Li was quite relieved on the inside .

"I’m running out of mana," March Rain said worriedly .

"Use it sparingly . If you really can’t help it, then don’t worry about Breeze," Lu Li replied calmly .

"Lu Li, you ****, I’m going to hold onto this forever," Azure Sea Breeze cursed loudly . He was so tempted to turn around and kill Lu Li with the Boss . They weren’t even in a desperate situation yet and Lu Li was already thinking about giving him up .

In other people’s teams, main tanks were the precious one . It was just him, poor Azure Sea Breeze, who always on the edge of being tossed away .

"Hachi Chan, what are you doing with that half bar of mana? Heal!" Lu Li said .

"I’ve been healing the whole time," Hachi Chan shot back, feeling wronged .

"Go and practice your technique later; this is unbearable . Top up Rice Ball’s health . Moonlight, use your damage reduction . " Lu Li also used his damage reduction just in time for the next group spell by the boss .

No one healed Azure Sea Breeze, but it seemed like he managed to survive because of his grudge against Lu Li .

At 5% health, Doan went into berserk mode .

Lu Li’s dagger effect activated and a clone appeared beside him which boosted his damage just at the right time .

After a few dozen seconds, Azure Sea Breeze finally died, but the boss didn’t hold on for much longer than he did . Both of them dropped to the floor following each other .
