Chapter 585
Lu Li collected around forty scarabs, which was enough to complete the quest twice . The drop rate in Nightmare mode was very high – on average, every single monster would drop one quest item . If this was Elite mode, everyone would probably only receive enough quest items to complete the quest once .
These forty quest items were worth about 400 gold coins, or in other words, it was 40,000 dollars .
During the few weeks where this dungeon matched the mainstream player levels, the gold-collecting players would have better income . Unfortunately, players were only allowed to enter Elite mode dungeons once a week, otherwise, they would be rich already .
Azure Sea Breeze planned to purchase some scarabs to level up; he had earned quite a bit of money recently .
Moonlight had similar plans too; he wasn’t a fan of leveling . His current levels were mostly gained from his time spent in the battlegrounds, but compared to expert level players, his level wasn’t really an advantage at all .
Square Root 3 was busy trying to purchase more scarabs as well . If he purchased enough of these quest items, Lu Li decided that he might take the shortcut too .
There wasn’t anything for him to hesitate about the situation . If he didn’t participate, he could likely keep his number one spot on the level rankings .
The maximum number of times that the players could complete the quest was a hundred .
While a player was level 35, they could gain around half a level by completing this quest 20 times . As such, if they handed in the quest a hundred times, they could only hit a maximum of level 37 .
For a player like Lu Li, who was almost level 39, he might not even reach level 40 with the maximum number of quests .
Lu Li began instructing everyone on where to position themselves .
"Everyone, position yourselves four yards apart from each other . Remnant Dream, make sure no one is standing between your pet and you, otherwise, the disease will spread to the others when your pet dies . "
Theka would be an easy boss, as long as they positioned themselves well .
Its first skill was a debuff that dealt damage every second and reduced attributes .
This wasn’t too much to handle, as long as your equipment was decent .
The most important aspects of this skill was that it was contagious . If players stood too close to each other, the debuff would spread in a radius of three yards, and it could also stack .
The situation would become dangerous if a player had more than three stacks .
The other skill was Theka’s Summon . When Theka’s health reached 30%, it would summon Skeletal Warriors from the corpse of the bugs .
Theka’s Summon was a skill that belonged in Nightmare mode .
In Elite mode, Theka would use Theka Transform when it reached 30% of his remaining health .
It would turn into a giant scarab, becoming immune to all physical and shadow damage . This meant that classes like Warriors, Thieves, Warlocks and Shadow Priests couldn’t deal any damage to it .
At the same time, any scarabs that remained alive would attack the players .
In Elite mode, as long as you killed all the scarabs, things would be fine . However, in Nightmare mode the scarabs would fight for Theka regardless of whether they were dead or alive .
"March, group fear!" Lu Li shouted .
March Rain had a much better game sense than her brother . She walked over to cast a Soul Shriek and all the monsters caught in it began to scatter .
Without the instructions from Lu Li, Lonesome Flower casted Arcane Explosion, while the others helped with their own group damage spells . Even Lu Li used his Fan of Knives .
Countless knives were tossed outwards from him, dealing damage to the monsters that they hit .
Unfortunately, the damage wasn’t too significant .
Moonlight’s Whirlwind was very useful in a situation like this . This spell dealt high damage and also provided him with good mobility . However, he became the target of the monsters when he got too close to them, so March Rain had to follow behind and heal him .
At this point, the Boss was immune to shadow and physical damage .
The main tank couldn’t hold the aggro, so the other classes couldn’t output damage either . Lu Li and the others gave up on attacking the Boss and started killing the monsters instead .
On the first cast of Invigorate, the strength of the monsters doubled .
On the second cast of Invigorate, the monsters’ strength doubled again . These monsters had now grown strong enough to reach the standard of Elites .
If too many monsters remained after the third cast of Invigorate, they were guaranteed to wipe at this first Boss .
"Spread out and try to hit all the monsters . Don’t panic – stay focused on your skills and try to hit as many monsters as you can," Lu Li instructed .
Invigorate had already been cast on these skeleton monsters twice . They were only a few dozen seconds away from the third Invigorate, and there were still many monsters left .
"Use your equipment effects, increase your damage, use anything you have! You don’t need to hold back anything for later . " If the team wiped, there would be no point in keeping these skills .
Everyone understood how urgent the situation was and they all began to use their strongest abilities .
Lu Li didn’t have many of these special effects, but his damage wasn’t low in the first place . He could kill one monster within three seconds, so he was still positively contributing to the team .
"Thirteen, twelve, ten, alright, nine…" Lu Li kept calculating the time and finally took the monsters down to nine before the third Invigorate was casted . They wouldn’t definitely wipe if more than ten monsters remained, but the chances were still quite significant .
"Stop . Wandering, hold onto the monsters . Who’s still doing damage? Do you want to lose points?" Lu Li yelled, catching everyone by surprise .
The third attribute that was given to the monsters by Invigorate was critical strike chance .
Wandering was the secondary tank . His equipment was built for defense and he also had damage reduction, so he could tank these monsters .
After this wave of monsters had been successfully killed, Theka became an easy target .
A few minutes later, he became a pile of dust of dust on the floor .
He had already been dead for too long, so his corpse returned to the ground . The only thing that kept him battling was his will . After he died, his will disappeared and his body instantly went through centuries of time .
The experience given was quite decent; this was Nightmare mode after all . However, it still wasn’t enough for Lu Li to reach level 39 . He probably had to wait for the next boss .
No one received any extra skill points either; skill points were even rarer than rare materials . Moreover, the dungeon had already been previously completed and this wasn’t the First Clear .
"Alright, Remnant Dream, go loot the items," Lu Li said .
"Alright, I’ll show you guys my magic . " Remnant Dream didn’t mind how dirty this pile of dust was and eagerly looted the corpse .
