The Great Thief - Chapter 526

Chapter 526

Lu Li could feel cold sweat running down his back . This was a single player’s quest?

He was certain that his defense was no better that that level 38 Night Watchman’s . He felt like the hostess had really played him this time .

Was this revenge for sharing the Assassin League with Water Fairy?

He wondered what quest Water Fairy had received . Hopefully, she would be able to complete it .

Mor’Ladim was level 40 with 500,000 health points and also had an Evil Ring!

Evil Ring – buffs movement speed and health regeneration . This had no effect on the players, but it was useful for the Boss . Most bosses with this effect were very hard to deal with .

Bosses who didn’t summon side-kicks usually came with more health than those that did . However, it was rare for them to have this much health . Even the level 45 Pirate Captain only had 350,000 HP .

Lu Li wanted to turn back and kill the hostess .

To be fair, he still underestimated the seriousness of his actions . Ravenholdt Manor was a secretive association whose members were scattered around the entire continent . Most of the outer members didn’t even know who they were working for, and it was all because of their strict policies .

After the hostess took in two players consecutively, the executives had begun to pay extra attention to them .

There were only ten spots available for all players throughout the entire continent . There were up to a hundred quests in different locations that a player could trigger to join the small faction, and yet, the hostess had two in a row .

From the moment the hostess saw Lu Li and Water Fairy together, the quest had immediately been upgraded to Nightmare mode .

It had nothing to do with the hostess .

While Lu Li raged, Althea’s sword had already sliced into Mor’Ladim’s back, dealing around 800 damage . Her sword was slimmer than the average Paladin’s, but her damage wasn’t any weaker .

It was hard to imagine that the commander had such strong combat skills . Lu Li went into Stealth and snuck beside Mor’Ladim . As Mor’Ladim turned, Lu Li’s dagger dug into his spine .

Cheap Shot had no effect, while Lu Li’s Ambush only dealt around 100 points of damage .

The five-level difference wasn’t too much; 100 damage meant that this was a Boss that Lu Li could deal with . The other level 35 elites did even less damage compared to Lu Li .

Mor’Ladim fought Althea head-on without fear . In terms of strength, Althea was much weaker than Mor’Ladim . As for health points… Lu Li scanned her and was disappointed to discover that Althea only had around 250,000 HP .

However, she had a pack of subordinates to support her . These subordinates were all elite models and two of her best men were semi-bosses . They were well-coordinated in their fighting and kept up with the pace of the battle .

The main damage dealers were the level 40 Althea and the level 38 elite Night Watchmen . As long as the level difference wasn’t greater than three, there would no damage reduction . The level 38 elites dealt slightly more damage than Lu Li .

However, Lu Li had skills . When his combo points reached five, he waved his arm and drove his dagger hard into Mor’Ladim’s back . Not only did he deal more than 200 damage, but he also applied a short paralysis effect .

Ambush was an average skill, so even with a high completion level, it wouldn’t apply any special effects onto the Boss . However, Backhand Backstab was a different story . With a high completion level, there was a chance that the skill would paralyze a Boss for a short amount of time .

The boss paused slightly and turned around to slice his sword down .

Lu Li felt like this slice would be enough to destroy him, so he dropped to the floor without any hesitation and escaped from the attack range of the Boss .

Mor’Ladim didn’t pursue; he was still focused on Althea .

As he turned around to hack at Lu Li, Althea had already stabbed him a few times .

"I . . . What have I done wrong . . . Why . . . Why . . . Did I end up like this?" the deceased whispered to himself . Everyone could feel his rage and helplessness .

As they were distracted by his question, Mor’Ladim stomped his foot . Black flames rose from the ground as everyone received burning and corruption damage . Two Night Watchmen, who were at low health, immediately lost their lives .

"Die!" Althea saw the death of her subordinates and her eyes flashed red . She jumped and aimed straight for Mor’Ladim’s head from above .

Her blades drove into his helmet, dealing massive damage and also applying an additional stun .

Everyone tried to deal as much damage as they could while those who were injured were brought to the side for bandaging . Mor’Ladim’s high damage left everyone in danger of losing their lives at any moment .

Lu Li had also lost around half his health . However, he could drink potions and he wasn’t the main target of the boss, so his health was bound to recover at some point .

The Evil Ring was a strong effect indeed; Mor’Ladim moved fast like the wind . Just his speed alone was enough to cause great trouble for the Night Watchmen, not to mention the health regeneration .

Lu Li felt like the boss healed himself more than the damage that he dealt .

"Everyone watch out . Prepare to block," Althea warned .

Lu Li used his damage reduction skill . At the same time, everyone saw Mor’Ladim raise his giant sword over two seconds . Countless soldier illusions ran out from behind him in the formation of a fan . These soldiers ran across the entire battleground, and all those who touched them took a great amount of damage .

Fortunately, the boss himself didn’t move; he stood on the spot as casted this skill .

Despite this, three Night Watchmen still lost their battle ability, and their team members quickly carried them out of the fight .

Lu Li used his damage reduction skill and focused intensely on dealing damage to the Mor’Ladim . As a level 35 expert player, his strength impressed Althea once again .

To be fair, poison also played a large role in Lu Li’s DPS .

The poisons that Thieves used were classed under Alchemy . Lu Li’s poisons were all Advanced level; he had a speed buff on his left and critical booster on the right . Sesame Rice Ball had specifically gone around to collect these recipes and had made a few spares for Lu Li .

Of course, he still wasn’t comparable to Althea .

Althea had already lost her cool; she was battling with Mor’Ladim without much care for her own life .

The Night Watchmen weren’t players, so once they died, they would disappear forever . Emotionally, she couldn’t handle the death of the subordinates who followed her .

Althea didn’t bother to dodge Mor’Ladim’s strikes, provided that they wouldn’t be fatal . She focused on attacking, as if she wanted to kill him right on the spot .

When Mor’Ladim’s health dropped to half, Althea had less than 50,000 health!

Was the commander going to die? Lu Li was really panicking this time .
