The Great Thief - Chapter 517

Chapter 517

Lu Li’s strategy was bold and unpredictable .

Fat Monkey and the Hunter from Majin Temple were killed at the same time, so the two subs were teleported into the arena together simultaneously .

Before the Mage could prepare himself, Lu Li ambushed him immediately .

The Thief from Majin Temple was running back to save the Mage, but Lu Li managed to get there first .

Unforgettable Maple ordered the Thief to stop Lu Li from assassinating their backup Mage at all costs because numbers were the most important thing in a team PVP .

Thanks to his shield, the damage after the 6 second stun from Kidney Strike wasn’t enough to kill the Mage . However, because Lu Li was the best Thief in the game, 6 seconds was more than enough to burst him down to critical HP .

When the stun duration ended, the poor Mage realised he was already at critical HP and almost burst into tears .

He was also afflicted with Lu Li’s Slow Poison, leaving him crippled like an injured animal in the jungle .

The Thief from Majin Temple didn’t even bother going into Stealth . As soon as he saw that his ally Mage was still alive, he recklessly pounced onto Lu Li .

His plan was to crowd-control Lu Li so that he couldn’t touch the Mage anymore .

When the Mage saw that the backup was here, he decided not to run . Firstly, there was no way of out-running Lu Li since he was slowed . Secondly, running away exposed his back, which would allow Lu Li to deal extra damage .

Since it was a 2-on-1, they were both confident that they could take Lu Li down .

When Lu Li saw the Thief, he immediately went into Stealth and casted Sap .

The Thief and Lu Li brushed past one another and he was stunned in place . However, he immediately cleansed the Stun with his badge .

Lu Li turned around and ran towards the Mage again .

The Thief was at full health, so it would be foolish to target him first . The Mage’s HP was regenerating and the duration of Slow Poison debuff was over, so he was able to move freely again .

When he realised Lu Li was still coming after him, all he could do was avoid fighting him head-on since he was low on HP .

The most ideal scenario was to corner Lu Li along with his Thief teammate and stall until Unforgettable Maple and the others arrived for backup . Once the whole team gathered, they could work together to send this scumbag out of the arena .

The Mage zoned out for a split second as he planned his next move in his head .

Before he realised, Lu Li had switched his weapon to a Crossbow .

Crystal Protector’s Crossbow (Dark Gold): Damage 32-42 . Agility +20, Strength +8 . Special effect 1:

Critical strike +15% . Special effect 2: Ranged attack speed +25% . Special effect 3: Slash 3, certain chance of causing a bleeding effect . Can be stacked 5 times . Level requirement 30, Durability

72/72 .

This weapon was the reward from finishing the Pamela quest series .

When he received this crossbow, he contemplated whether he should give it to Remnant Dream . After careful consideration, he decided that such an overpowered Crossbow would be a waste on Remnant Dream, since she relied on her pets to deal damage .

She needed weapons that increased the DPS of her pets .

Lu Li switched to the Crossbow and relentlessly shot out arrows towards the Mage .

Shoo Shoo Shoo…

Crossbows in real life were slow and inefficient because of their reload time . However, in Dawn, they automatically reloaded, therefore having an extremely fast attack speed and high accuracy .

Even a Thief could use it at close distances . Lu Li was enjoying himself a little too much while chasing the Mage around .

Even though the arrows did less damage, the Mage was already on low HP and continued screaming for help in the team voice chat .

Unforgettable Maple watched from afar as his Mage ran towards him . "It’s two against one! Why are you running?! Turn around and kill him," he scolded .

The bleed effect from the Crystal Protector’s Crossbow dealt a considerable amount of damage over time . A single stack dealt 10 or so HP per tick and could potentially ramp up in damage with more stacks, dealing up to 100 HP per tick .

The Mage watched as Unforgettable Maple ran towards him . However, it was too late and he was teleported out of the arena .

The Thief had been bothering Lu Li this whole time, so he was never able to catch up to the Mage . However, his quick thinking gave his team a huge advantage in numbers .

Lu Li used his wits to slap his haters in the face .

He showed off what it meant to improvise on the spot; his game sense and IQ was through the roof .

He also taught a lot of new players a lesson – melee classes could use ranged weapons as well, and could still deal a decent amount of damage .

After this match, many melee classes would carry a backup Crossbow in their inventory, especially ones that applied slow or bleeding effects . The prices of godly Crossbows skyrocketed, and an exquisite one could sell for hundreds of thousands of gold .

"Don’t run!" Unforgettable Maple was furious as he continued running towards Lu Li .

Majin Temple was now down one player on their team . If he didn’t even out the numbers, it would be almost impossible for him to turn it around, no matter how great of a commander he was .

"I have time to play with you guys," Lu Li mocked and did not try to escape like everyone expected .

The obvious target for Lu Li was Unforgettable Maple . The Thief continued casting his crowd-control on Lu Li but was ignored completely .

"You’re wearing level 35 gear . That’s a bit unfair," Unforgettable Maple bickered as he saw the damage of his Ice Lance on Lu Li .

"How dare you complain about it being unfair when it’s 2 against 1," Lu Li laughed as he cancelled his opponent’s ultimate with his Stun .

"Not just two . In a few seconds, there’ll be two more players for backup," Unforgettable Maple threatened, but he was very unsure . Why was Lu Li staying to fight? It was clear that it was disadvantageous for him . If this continued on, Lu Li would be the first to die for sure .

Lu Li’s expression finally became serious . He began running and kiting them while thinking to himself, "What the hell is Moonlight doing? Does it really take that long to kill a healer?"

"Goddamn, you’re shameless!" Unforgettable Maple shouted as he received the information from his backline .

The players from Ruling Sword had flanked them from behind and ganged up on their healer, who was begging for help in the chat .

Every class had a different Movement Speed, with Priests being the slowest in the game .

While Unforgettable Maple and the Thief were fighting against Lu Li, their other damage dealers were still on the way . The slowest Priest was left behind and was swallowed up by Ruling Sword .

Majin Temple had tunnel-visioned too hard on Lu Li and had forgotten to protect their only healer .

Unforgettable Maple felt completely outplayed by Lu Li and Ruling Sword . The reputation that he had built up for himself had been completely ruined in a single match .
