"Stop dealing damage to Whitemane . Memories, attack Mograine instead . Everyone else, pay attention to the Boss’ health bar . Make sure to keep the Whitemane’s health lower than Mograine’s, or else he will go berserk . "

There was only a certain chance for the boss to go berserk, but just to play extra cautiously, Lu Li’s went for a conservative strategy .

The team had a low damage output and the healers were under a lot of pressure .

This was especially so for Hachi Chan, who was half a healer and half a damage dealer . These kinds of Druids were good in long duration fights, but they lacked the burst for healing . If it wasn’t for the fact that Wandering had good technique, he would’ve died already .

"Memories, pop down a mana regeneration totem and cast Bloodlust once it goes off cooldown . "

While Lu Li dealt damage to Whitemane by himself, he also took the time to conduct the battle .

"It’s off cooldown . Do you want me to cast it now?" Sakura Memories placed a mana regeneration totem between March Rain and Hachi Cha so that both of them were able to receive the mana regeneration effect .

"Come back to Whitemane, and at the call of three, cast Bloodlust . Everyone, use your special effects . March, don’t forget to use your Shadow Demon if it’s ready . "

Lu Li’s brain wasn’t a calculator, so it was impossible for him to be fully aware of everyone’s situation, especially in a fast-paced battle .

With the cast of one Bloodlust, both bosses had their health bar dropped below 50% .

"Careful . Call out when you get controlled . "

Lu Li made an estimation of the time and confirmed that they had reached another critical moment .

"What do you mean by getting controlled?" No one really understood what he meant .

"As in, when you lose control of your own actions . For example, when you attack your team members or heal the boss," Lu Li explained patiently, feeling like he was a babysitter .

"Dream, Dream! Are you trying to kill me?!" Hachi Chan called out .

"I . . . I . . . I’m sorry, I didn’t want to aim for you . "

Remnant Dream had been controlled and her arrows were raining down on Hachi Chan . Her pet was also chasing closely behind .

"Hachi Chan, run towards Remnant Dream; get her closer to her pet . Flower, freeze them," Lu Li instructed .

This skill of Whitemane’s was known as Dominate Mind, and could control a player for ten seconds .

Lonesome Flower’s Frost Nova could freeze someone for eight seconds, so this effectively solved the problem .

However, Remnant Dream could still shoot arrows . She had a good set of equipment, so all of her attacks were very painful . Everyone quickly left her shooting range .

"Make sure to look out for the Consecration on the floor . Drink your potions when they’re off cooldown and don’t wait for the healers to heal you . Can’t you see that they’re running out of mana? Don’t use your damage reductions yet . Flower, your shield . . . never mind, you’ve used it . Make sure you use your refrigerator skill when the couple casts their ultimate skill . "

It was impossible to keep everything under control; a good commander needed to adapt to various situations .

Techniques and strategies weren’t too useful against brute force; the only thing that kept the situation under control was their damage reduction .

The two bosses stood together as waves of fire poured in from their left and right like tides . All players that were burned by this skill constantly took damage .

"Damage reduction!"

Lu Li used his Gale Steps and after his temporary invincibility, activated the shield on his clothes and finally made it through this wave of damage .

Lonesome Flower followed the previous instructions and used his refrigerator skill while the others relied on their damage reduction skills to survive . These combination skills were the strongest skills that the Boss couple can cast . This was also at the point where most teams would wipe .

Since everyone was busy keeping themselves alive, Whitemane found her chance to heal Mograine .

Her healing skill recovered 10,000 health points for him .

Ten thousand points of health wasn’t much of a problem – they just needed to spend a little more time on the Boss . What was critical about this heal was that it made Whitemane’s health lower than Mograine’s .

Berserk!

Mograine saw that her wife was taking more damage than himself, so he went berserk .

"****!" Lu Li felt helpless .

They had already tried their best to control the health points of the bosses . Who knew that a problem would still occur?

There was no point in blaming Wandering and Sakura Memories for not interrupting the skill . They had to solve the problem first, or else the team would wipe .

"Breeze, use any damage reduction skills you have left . Drag Mograine so that he’s facing everyone with his back . Close-combat classes step back a little, ranged classes focus him down . " Lu Li had already stopped attacking – it would be a death wish if he kept dealing damage to Whitemane .

From this point onwards, there would be many stages in the future with two bosses . What they were dealing with now was only the basics .

If they wiped again and again, their skills would eventually improve . With a bit of luck added on top, they would be able to clear the dungeon .

However, Lu Li didn’t want to repeat the run a third time . He had the most complete guide for the dungeon and was a part of the current top team in the game . His defeat wasn’t definite yet .

Not only did Mograine’s damage increase after he went berserk, but his attacks also came with a splash effect that burned nearby units . Remnant Dream’s pet died because she didn’t call it in time .

This showed the importance of a guide – if the close-combat classes didn’t run, the healers would be under more pressure .

There were only three ranged class players – Remnant Dream, Lonesome Flower and Sesame Rice Ball . The three of them dealt damage to Mograine together, while March Rain and Hachi Chan healed Azure Sea Breeze . As for Whitemane, Wandering was dragging her around while Lu Li and Sakura Memories ran behind her to interrupt any of her upcoming spells .

They didn’t lose any members, and as long as the main tank and healer could endure through the berserk mode of the boss, they would eventually pass through this stage .

When Mograine’s health dropped below Whitemane’s, his berserk effect ended .

This was indeed quite a frightful stage, but the ten-man team made it through .

"From now on, hold back your damage reduction skills . Those who don’t have damage reductions after thirty seconds, leave the hall," Lu Li instructed .

After everyone calculated their cooldowns, Sesame Rice Ball, Sakura Memories and Remnant Dream turned their heads and ran .

This wasn’t a good way to avoid skills; the constant running would cause an interruption in their damage output . Once they failed to keep up their damage output, the healing of the boss would pose a real problem .

Of course, they had no other choice . Without damage reduction skills, there was no way for them to survive the next wave of ultimate skills .

The ultimate skill was casted but everyone survived with the use of their damage reduction skills . However, the two bosses recovered a significant amount of health, especially Mograine .

"Everyone, focus on Mograine," Lu Li said as he switched his attention to the Paladin and began to deal insane damage . He also turned his head constantly to check up on Whitemane, afraid that she would cast another healing skill or group resurrection .

"I’m running low on mana!" March Rain cried out worriedly .

"Hold still . Don’t worry if you don’t have mana and drink potions when you can . Memories, make sure to place down totems when you can . How long until Shadow Demon is off cooldown?" Lu Li didn’t have the time to wipe the sweat that dripped from his forehead . He tilted his head back and drank an Intermediate Healing Potion .

If they had Advanced Healing Potions with them, they probably wouldn’t have had such a tough time .

"Shadow Demon still has another minute; the potions are around two minutes . I didn’t remember the precise time . " March Rain’s mana bar was almost empty, so she could only use small skills that costed less to heal for a bit .

March Rain had leveled her Shadow Demon to level five, so its cooldown had been reduced from five minutes to 200 seconds .

"Wandering, stay . Hachi Chan, heal Breeze . Breeze, do you have your damage reductions yet?" Lu Li scanned the current situation; he wasn’t so sure anymore .

"I still have two damage reductions left . One is a skill, the other is an equipment effect . "

Azure Sea Breeze didn’t need to check his skill menu or equipment menu – he had been keeping track the entire time .

"Alright, hold on until March Rain’s Shadow Demon goes off cooldown . Everyone else, drink potions and activate your special effects whenever you can . We’ll win if we can make it through this . "
