Chapter 480
The Supreme Ring needed two White Wolf Fangs, and Lu Li was determined to get them, no matter how difficult it would be .
With the high expectations he had for the Legendary item in the future, Lu Li bent down and stretched his hands forward to loot to the boss . The first item that he picked up was a stick — Odo’s Ley Staff .
This was a very decent staff . Apart from Gold-grade equips, it was very hard to find a level 30 Silver staff that was better than this .
However, this wasn’t what Lu Li had come for . He unconsciously held his breath in an attempt to loot a White Wolf Fang . The fang was too important to him; it was simply priceless .
Not all things could be purchased with money .
The item he picked up didn’t feel like White Wolf Fang . Lu Li’s heart sank and he began to spite himself; he had been too greedy .
This was only an Elite mode dungeon – what were the chances of him looting the White Wolf Fang in one go?
Glutton Shackle!
After the attributes of the item appeared before his eyes, Lu Li was stunned .
Why was it Glutton Shackle instead of the White Wolf Fang? Did Odo bring the wrong items with him?
Of course, Lu Li didn’t mind this outcome at all .
He needed the White Wolf Fang, but he also needed the Glutton Shackle for his Supreme Ring .
Two White Wolf Fangs and two Glutton Shackles – both were items that could be dropped in the Shadowfang Keep . That was why he had purchased the Shadowfang Keep scrolled, regardless of its price . At the start, he thought the drop rate would be higher if he did the dungeon alone and almost died to Son of Arugal along the way .
He always thought that the Glutton Shackle would only be dropped by Arugal; he didn’t think that Odo had a chance to drop it too .
This dungeon didn’t drop many good items, but this was to be expected, as it was only Elite mode . The Bosses usually dropped around two to three items . As such, after Odo’s Ley Staff and the Glutton Shackle, nothing else could be looted from the Boss .
Just the Glutton Shackle alone was good enough . Lu Li didn’t want to waste his time in this dungeon and besides, he had also looted the Silverlaine Emblem .
Outside the storage room was another set of walls . The monsters here silenced players, so magic classes wouldn’t be able to use spells here .
However, Lu Li wasn’t a Mage and there were no bats on the wall . He went straight past the monsters and reached his next location — the Keep’s Basement .
He also ran into his old friend along the way – the Son of Arugal .
There was no need for him to be afraid, as these Sons of Arugal only looked like the Boss, but they were all just monsters . They were completely different to the one that wandered in the Silverpine Forest .
After the long hallways that led to the Alchemy room, Lu Li finally saw Fenrus the Devourer .
This Boss was average in terms of strength, but it had the best chance of dropping the White Wolf Fang . In Lu Li’s previous life, he had heard the White Wolf Fang being described as "a tooth dropped by a giant wolf devourer . "
Fenrus the Devourer wasn’t a Worgen; he was just a giant wolf .
Fenrus, or rather, Fenrir, originated from the fearful giant wolf of the Norse Mythology . It was the child of Loki and Angrboda .
The Gods feared that the would destroy the Gods, so they decided to imprison him . They requested for the Dwarves to make the "Gleipnir", which was crafted from six non-existing materials – a cat’s footstep, a woman’s moustache, a mountain’s root, a fish’s eyelid, a bear’s tendon and a bird’s saliva .
After the War God Tyr sacrificed one of his hands, the Gods finally captured it .
During the Twilight of the Gods [TLN: also called Ragnarok], Fenrir escaped and was able to devour the sky and land . It devoured Odin, Father of the Gods, but was eventually killed by Vidal, the God of Nature .
Fenrir had two sons – Hatti and Skool . Hatti chased the moon, while Skool chased the sun . They chased the carriage that carried the sun and the moon and finally devoured them during the Twilight of the Gods .
During the second stage of fighting Fenrus the Devourer, it would split into two giant wolves . A Hunter could capture one of them as a pet and continue on with the battle without affecting the fight .
Hence, many Hunters were interested in this dungeon for the wolf pet .
Lu Li couldn’t capture any pets, so he killed Fenrus the Devourer . During the fight, he almost died and had to use Gale Steps to leave battle . When he came back, the boss had already returned to full health and he had to restart the fight .
Fenrus the Devourer didn’t drop the White Wolf Fang, and didn’t drop any good items either .
If he continued in the dungeon, he would reach the territory of Wolf Master Nandos . It was also a giant wolf, but Lu Li didn’t try to take it down and instead went past it .
This was a Boss that even an average team wouldn’t be able to take down, not to mention a lone Thief like himself .
Hachi Chan, Wandering, Remnant Dream and Sesame Rice Ball had already made their way here, so Lu Li didn’t complete the next dungeon scroll by himself as that would be a waste of time .
At the end of the dungeon was the Nest of Arugal . This was where Arugal stayed after he captured the Shadowfang Keep .
Lu Li killed the three elite monsters there and prepared to fight Arugal .
Arugal’s main skill was Shadow Bolt . If he felt like he was taking too much damage, he would turn the player with the highest-level of aggression into a Worgen to attack their teammates .
Under normal circumstances, this was quite troublesome, however, Lu Li was by himself, so Arugal’s ultimate skill was useless .
This was why some guides expressed that Arugal was a boss easy to kill by yourself, as long as you could tank its damage .
The best combination for this Boss was a healer with a strong DPS . Most of the teams that Lu Li encountered chose to fight the boss with less players; they would rather have less players fighting the boss than to have players killing each other .
When Arugal’s health became very low, it would use Flash to run around .
There were three platforms in the basement that it could teleport to .
Fortunately, this Boss had already been affected by the evil spirit Worgen . Besides devouring the corpse of players, it couldn’t regenerate any health on its own .
In this case, even if Arugal teleported away, Lu Li didn’t need to worry about it healing itself .
He could even sit down to regenerate his own health faster and continue dealing damage after Arugal teleported back to him .
After around half an hour, the weak Mage finally ended its sinful life .
Arugal wasn’t weak; this was only Elite mode . If Lu Li chose a harder mode and did the dungeon by himself, he would’ve already died .
Lu Li hadn’t seen the Arugal in Nightmare mode, but he had heard that even a five-man team of level 35 players had a tough time .
Ruling Sword couldn’t manage to find a Nightmare mode dungeon scroll, and the big guilds wouldn’t sell it anyway .
After Lu Li killed Arugal, there was no system announcement . This dungeon had already been cleared by other players . Private dungeons were dependent on scrolls, so there was no guarantee that you could get the First Clear, no matter how skilled you were .
Arugal dropped a spell book – Counterspell, which was a fairly decent spell for Mages . Unfortunately, the rare material wasn’t a White Wolf Fang or a Glutton Shackle . Instead, it was the Blood of Demonic Wolf .
This item was a rare material, but even after years into the game, players still hadn’t figured out what it was used for .
After his team members arrived, the dungeon became quite easy . The three scrolls were used, and in addition to the Glutton Shackle from before, Remnant Dream managed to loot a White Wolf Fang .
They had been quite fortunate, and Lu Li was now one step closer to his Legendary Supreme Ring .
