The Great Thief - Chapter 615

Chapter 615

"What about standing with our backs to the wall?" Wandering suggested .

"I don’t know . You can try it . " Lu Li didn’t mind his teammates playing casually . After all, they still had to wait for some time before Drizzle Court could catch up to them .

With Lu Li’s approval, Wandering actually went and tried it . It wasn’t that he was bored, but as a commander, he had the need to know, even if it meant dying once .

It turned out that even if there was a wall behind him, he would be blown away because there wasn’t a player behind him . The mountain wall wasn’t perfectly straight and there was also an incline .

After dealing with the icicles and being blown away, it didn’t seem too hard anymore .

Even Lu Li had to admit that their strategy was quite strong . The advantages that it granted them were quite obvious and it would remain as the best strategy for quite some time . If they wanted to avoid taking the First Clear, they needed strategize a little less .

Of course, as the final boss of the Instance Dungeon, Gahz’rilla didn’t wander around the area .

Gahz’rilla’s slam was quite a difficult move to deal with . It would start using it after 5 minutes, regardless of its HP . Its effect was simple – it was a high damage attack that was always a critical hit .

Gahz’rilla had three heads and all of them were part of its arsenal .

Its magic attacks dealt ice and air damage, while its physical attacks were made by the three skulls .

As well as this, if the first attack was a critical hit, the second attack would be double of the first, but if the first attack wasn’t a critical hit, the second attack would be five times the first…

Wasn’t this a cool effect?

Assuming that the first attack was a Critical Strike and dealt 2 damage, the Boss would deal six (2 + 4) damage over two attacks . However, if the first attack wasn’t a Critical Strike, it would still deal six (1 + 5) damage over two attacks . Either way, the System refused to allow you to take any less damage .

Gahz’rilla’s Slam was a brutal six-attack combo .

If the Main Tank couldn’t withstand all six attacks from the Boss, the best course of action was to give up and get some better equipment before attempting the Instance Dungeon again .

With Azure Sea Breeze’s current level and equipment, he was immediately killed the first time Gahz’rilla used Slam .

Lu Li didn’t say anything, but Azure Sea Breeze hadn’t cast his damage reduction skills, so he deserved to die . However, after trying it the hard way, he would probably remember next time .

Without Azure Sea Breeze taking aggro, Gahz’rilla was like a runaway horse . Wandering couldn’t stop it and it finally descended into the pool .

Gahz’rilla wasn’t like the turtle that ran into the water for a while before coming back .

It just stayed there and regenerated 5% of its HP per second .

"Dammit, it’s too strong . I can’t tank it . "

After Azure Sea Breeze was revived, the Boss was long gone, but he didn’t seem ready to face it again .

"Haven’t you noticed that there’s a bit of red on the Boss’ head? That’s obviously a telegraph for the subsequent skill . Remember to cast your damage reduction when that happens," Lu Li said to Azure Sea Breeze before moving onto Wandering, "You couldn’t pull the Boss just then because of your positioning and the amount of aggro you had . You need to make sure you have the third most aggro as the Secondary-Tank . You aren’t just supposed to stand around . "

For Lu Li, these things were just common sense, but the others were only just realizing this .

Fortunately, after Gahz’rilla killed Azure Sea Breeze, it returned to recover its HP . If it decided to go around killing players, no one but Wandering would have been able to withstand it .

As the fight continued, Drizzle Court’s Main Tank was given advice from Ruling Sword, but their timing was off . Their Secondary Tank managed to hold onto the Boss’ aggro, but their resistance wasn’t enough and they were eventually wiped .

It took two tries before their two tanks finally got a feel for it .

Lu Li and the others were still going, but at a slower pace . Lu Li and Wandering were also periodically taking turns to command .

Because they were taking it slow, March Rain would inevitably run out of mana . In that case, they would just get wiped, but by then, the Boss would have revealed most of its tricks already .

Lu Li had already developed a complete strategy and was now just waiting for Drizzle Court to take the First Clear .

System: Congratulations Drizzle Court members, Deadly Green Orange, Star Baby… who under the leadership of Water Fairy, have acquired the First Clear of Zul’Farrak on Heroic Difficulty .

As the First Clear announcement was made, the world erupted .

This was the first time that anyone had taken the First Clear before Lu Li . The phrase ‘Drizzle Court’ popped up in various channels and community forums for quite a while .

Of course, there were a few players who knew that this First Clear was a result of a transaction, but they had no reason to disclose this . It would only serve Ruling Sword’s interests anyway .

"Let’s try a bit harder now and clear this Instance Dungeon . " Lu Li’s expression hadn’t changed . Gahz’rilla’s HP quickly disappeared as he was returned to see his maker .

Moonlight and Lonesome Flower were rewarded with Skill Points while the others only received EXP .

Gahz’rilla was level 42, but it was also the final boss, so the EXP received was quite high . Almost all of their EXP bars jumped up, and Lu Li was no exception .

However, he still had some time before reaching level 40 and needed to take some time to train .

There wasn’t a First Clear announcement for Ruling Sword this time as Drizzle Court had already received it for the Heroic Difficulty .

Azure Sea Breeze was a little dejected as he looked at the World Announcement .

"It feels like we lost because we didn’t get the First Clear . "

He had always been hailed as the number 1 main tank and was quite showy .

"Stop being a grumpy old woman . Let’s see what we got; we did it on Nightmare Difficulty, so it’s also kind of a First Clear . The items shouldn’t be that bad," Lu Li consoled, then instructed Remnant Dream to loot the body .

The Boss was waiting for them to loot it, but for Drizzle Court, the items that the Boss dropped were handed out according to their agreement .

Although they didn’t get the First Clear, they didn’t lose anything else in terms of their reward .

The only regret he had was that he didn’t get the Abyss Crown, which meant that he couldn’t cash in on the four pieces of Gold equipment that the goblin had promised . However, they would definitely get some Gahz’rilla scales, so it was no big deal .
