The Great Thief - Chapter 549

Chapter 549

The competition ground was only so big; it was hard to run away . As soon as Fat Monkey appeared with his Flash, he was immediately frozen by Lucky Southern Persian’s pet . Ice Mages had the upper hand in terms of control when it came to a battle between Fire and Ice Mages .

Lu Li pounced onto Hornet’s Nest and instructed Fat Monkey to keep running .

Hornet’s Nest wasn’t afraid of Lu Li at all; his magic damage dealt rows and rows of damage on Lu Li . Warlocks relied on damage-over-time, and these skills posed a high threat to Warriors and Thieves .

Lu Li didn’t bother with the damage that he had taken; he just kept on attacking .

As long as he could distract Hornet’s Nest, he could save Fat Monkey .

On the other hand, his own safety was a concern . While Hornet’s Nest attacked Lu Li, his Succubus also followed . Vast Silence and her pet also focused on Lu Li; they planned to kill him together .

Suddenly, there was a flash of light and two Lu Li’s appeared .

The special effect of his dagger had been triggered! Not only did this shadow deal 30% damage, but it was also capable of mimicking his actions . It would be hard to tell which one was the real Lu Li without testing the waters .

Hornet’s Nest raised his staff and casted Shadow Bolt Volley .

"Attack the one that I’m attacking . "

The armor of the duplicate was different to the armor of the actual Lu Li . Master gamers could tell the difference between the two by looking at the damage they dealt to both targets .

Hornet’s Nest had half his health left, while Lu Li had 30% health remaining .

Water Fairy’s cape’s Silence effect was perfect for dealing with Warlocks – Hornet’s Nest suddenly lost his ability to cast spells .

However, since Vast Silence and her pet were still focusing Lu Li, his health continued to drop .

The silence lasted for three seconds, and in this time, Hornet’s Nest was quite helpless . He had lost a portion of his health from Lu Li’s damage, but he also had faith that Lu Li would die before he did .

March Rain went over to help Fat Monkey; the battle had been dragged quite far apart .

Lu Li smiled and placed a shield on himself as he kept stabbing at Hornet’s Nest .

Hornet’s Nest and Vast Silence didn’t take long to pop the shield . The shield was a special effect from a Silver grade equip, so it only absorbed 300 damage .

Disarm – a special effect from the ring . If Water Fairy was watching this match, she would most likely ask for a reward from Lu Li .

Hornet’s Nest suddenly found that his staff had disappeared . This wasn’t as simple as reducing his damage, as a lot of the skills casted by Warlocks required a weapon of some form . He could only wait while the two-second duration of this effect expired .

Vast Silence tried his best during this time and managed to drop Lu Li’s health to an extremely low point .

To his excitement, the staff returned to Hornet’s Nest’s hands . If they killed Lu Li now, they would have a great chance of winning .

However, another problem occurred at the exact same moment .

A shroud of black mist appeared before his eyes and he lost his vision . It took some time for him to notice Lu Li, who was glowing red from the Berserk effect .

This was the special effect from Zom’s Rain-Stained Cloak — Summon Fog, Instant Cast . Summon a fog in a 4-yard radius . Attack of caster within fog increased by 20% and armor of target within reduced by 20% for 10 seconds . 120 minute cooldown .

This was yet another equip from Water Fairy .

Lu Li was still fighting with the two of them because he wanted to bait and kill Hornet’s Nest .

As soon as he summoned the fog, he applied a Pollution effect to Hornet’s Nest .

Hornet’s Nest’s armor dropped even lower and he became a fragile target .

However, he still had thirty percent of his health left, while Lu Li only had 200 HP . With Vast Silence chasing behind him, it would be impossible to complete his task before he died .

Lu Li silently activated the special effect from Pamela’s Gift .

Pamela’s Tea – activation required, instantly recover 20% of health and regenerate 2% of health each second for the next five seconds . Cannot be interrupted, cannot be used on other targets . Cooldown 30 minutes .

The instant 20% health regeneration brought Lu Li back in the game .

Almost in an instant, he appeared behind Hornet’s Nest with the special effect from his shoes . This was a similar effect to the one on his Shadow Cloak .

This effect also allowed him to go into Stealth . He stunned Hornet’s Nest with a Cheap Shot and began dealing insane damage .

The fog lowered Hornet’s Nest’s armor by 20%, while Pollution lowered his armor and movement speed by 25% .

A single Ambush removed around 300 HP from Hornet’s Nest’s health bar .

Hornet’s Nest wasn’t a newbie – his equips had been specifically prepared for him by his guild . What he was using was unknown, but Lu Li’s Backstab after the Ambush only dealt around a hundred points of damage .

He also woke up from his stun .

Kidney Strike!

Once again, Hornet’s Nest woke up from this stun effect . It seemed like he had more than one way to remove crowd-control .

Vast Silence knew that the situation was urgent, so he used his control skills on Lu Li as well, but most of them were dispelled . He had more than one way to free himself from control effects .

Son of Arugal’s Gift: Cast . Curse a target, causing it to lose 100 HP every 5 seconds for 300 seconds . 30 minute cooldown .

As soon as Lu Li casted this effect onto Hornet’s Nest, he had to run for his life .

After all, there were two players chasing him with two pets . He had used up almost all of his damage reduction and escape skills, so if he still couldn’t kill Hornet’s Nest, then there was nothing more he could do . Fat Monkey was already safe anyway .

Hornet’s Nest was helpless . He realized that he couldn't stop Lu Li, who had transformed into a panther .

Stampeding Roar was also an escape skill, and his control effect was dispelled as soon as he used it . Lu Li ran towards March Rain, seeking the protection of his healer .

Lu Li didn’t die, but neither did Hornet’s Nest . Substitutes from both parties had entered the match .

Lu Li received some healing from March Rain as his team surrounded them, forming a defensive wall .

Ruling Sword had lost Sakura Memories, but Lu Li, Moonlight, Fat Monkey, March Rain and Mu Qiu still remained . They had a very solid and stable combination with three damage dealers, one healer and a Paladin class that was a jack of all trades .

In comparison, Seventh Heaven had lost their main healer and was now stuck with a combination of four damage dealers and a support healer .

Although their team combination didn’t affect the damage they dealt, they lacked sustainability . Once Lu Li and the others made it through their strongest barrage of attacks, even the newbies would be able to guess the end result .

To make the situation even worse, Lu Li decided to kite . He used the abilities of the Thief class to his advantage and constantly harassed the opposing team .

They waited until most of their special effects and skills were off cooldown .

After another round of battle, Fat Monkey was killed first . The four damage dealing classes focused him down with all sort of control effects . Even March Rain couldn’t save him from that one .

However, the players from Seventh Heaven were in bad shape too . Their Paladin, Monsoon, could only do so much for them .

Lu Li and his team dragged out the fight with four against five until Seventh Heaven lost the match .

The result was an unfortunate defeat for Seventh Heaven . In the next round, Ruling Sword was up against Peerless City and Gale Legion .
