Chapter 690: Useless In The Critical Moment


Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations

A monster suddenly emerged from a corner in front of Cain's Left Hand and he ran right into it .

Although he was in Stealth, getting so close to something was more than Stealth could handle .

Stealth could be used to prevent a monster from noticing you, but you needed to keep a distance . If you collided with a monster, then even Stealth couldn't save you .

This was exactly what happened to Cain's Left Hand .

His teammates behind him held their breath as they hesitated on whether they should just leave him . The others that were further away stayed put so that they wouldn't need to get involved .

However, that wasn't how the situation played out .

Cain's Left Hand was a Thief and he had many skills . In battle, a Thief often found themselves in unexpected situations, so this surprise didn't stop him from activating a special effect .

This was why Lu Li had asked him to come along .



After he activated his special effect, Cain's Left Hand turned into a dark cloud that the monster simply walked through, as if it hadn't touched anything . It looked around before turning its head and going the other direction .

The dark cloud rolled around for a bit before transforming back into Cain's Left Hand .

He had lost 50% of his HP!

This was the price he paid . Hachi Chan quickly topped up his HP while the special effect went on cooldown . He could use it again in two minutes .

However, that wasn't the extent of what it could do . If Lu Li and the others were standing right next to Cain's Left Hand, everyone would turn into the dark cloud . Lu Li had called him mainly to help conceal Hachi Chan and Deep Watersong .

After this crisis passed, they quickly arrived before the Water Elemental Noxxion .

"This water pet is so adorable," Hachi Chan said . Lu Li had no idea what she was talking about; its appearance was blurry and bloated . Lu Li really couldn't tell what was cute about it .

"Watersong, you go ahead . Just be careful, this monster…"

Before Lu Li could even finish, Deep Watersong had already rushed in . The Water Elemental punched Deep Watersong with so much force that his Bear Form was flung into the air before slamming into a wall .



This was quite a miserable sight .

Lu Li shook his head, thinking that this child was quite impulsive .

The Elemental's attack damaged the Tank for a sizeable chunk of his HP and even had a Stun effect .


"You dare trespass the territory of the royal highness? Now, you must die," Noxxion said as he launched a slew of Frostbolts towards them .

"Get out of the way!" Lu Li shouted as he tumbled to dodge the oversized Frostbolt .

Water Fairy and Cain's Left Hand heard Lu Li's order and subconsciously followed him . Hachi Chan wasn't standing in the line of fire, so the Frostbolt couldn't hit her anyway . As for Deep Watersong, he was still up against the wall .

Without considering the damage value, the most important thing about the Frostbolt was the application of Frostbite . Frostbite would deal damage over time, slow movement speed, and reduce the effect of healing by 20% . This meant that if a healer could heal you for 100HP, they would now only heal for 80HP .

"How do I avoid getting knocked away by him?"

Deep Watersong had finally recovered, he had been hit so hard that he was still a little scared .

"It won't do that again for a while, but when it's about to hit you, a white circle will appear at your feet . If you stand outside that circle, you won't get knocked away," Lu Li explained .

Noxxion wasn't a difficult Boss, provided you knew the strategy . However, if you had to properly test it, you were bound to get wiped .

Regardless, Noxxion had already used the attack and it wasn't too unbelievable that Lu Li would be able to point out the white circle . Everyone simply thought that Lu Li had thorough observational skills .

Noxxion also had a skill which summoned monsters, but they were quite weak and were easily dealt with .

Additionally, he also had Toxic Volley, which was similar to the first Boss's Twisted Tranquility . It was usually enough to throw the players into confusion and result in a team wipe . Unfortunately for Noxxion, it was cancelled out by Hachi Chan's Enhanced Tranquility .

While Toxic Volley's cooldown was shorter, all five players were experts who had a few damage reduction skills . Lu Li even had a skill that made him completely immune to damage . They also had their own HP-regenerating skills and could still take potions, so it wasn't so easy to kill them .

After ten minutes, Noxxion fell and dropped Celebras' staff . In addition to this, there was also a Silver Mold for a Mage item, a Gold Mage item and the Frost Nova Skill Book .

Lu Li took the Skill Book and gave all the equipment to Water Fairy .

In terms of value, the two pieces of equipment were worth more than the skill book, but in terms of rarity, the skill book was greater .

There were few Frost Nova Skill Books being traded on the market because the demand was just too high . Everyone knew someone who played Mage, and most of them didn't have this skill yet .

After a break, they head over towards the next Boss – Vyletongue . He was the Satyr ruler of the Amethyst Caves while also being a Burning Legion Messenger .

After Satyr Lord Vyletongue heard about the corruption of Maraudon, he thought that this was the Burning legion's chance and journeyed off into its depths .

Princess Theradras was initially wary of the quiet demon, but Vyletongue quickly demonstrated his value . He created many evil servants for her, like Noxxion and Razorlash .

As such, Princess Theradras drew out an area for him and made him the ruler of it .

As for assisting or joining the Burning Legion, the Princess' attitude was inexplicable, which meant the progress of negotiations had been halted . Vyletongue was currently quite anxious about it .

Maraudon was a lush green area with beautiful scenery . It could even be considered as the most beautiful Instance Dungeon .

However, the once-beautiful amethyst caves had been defiled by Vyletongue . The only thing that could grow here was the Vyletongue Vine .

Vyletongue could use these vines to attack the players . The most direct and efficient way of dealing with them was with a Fire Mage, who could burn the plants and also destroy them at the roots .

Unfortunately, Lu Li hadn't brought a Fire Mage today .
