"Poof!"

Suddenly, there was weird, yet familiar noise, but no one could remember where they had heard it from .

Then, everyone was sent flying high into the air, including the Main Tank, Healer and the Three Thieves who were busy attacking the Boss .

Besides the pain from the landing, they were also Stunned in place .

Princess Theradras de-aggroed from Deepwater Song and jumped onto the nearest target .

"Gale Steps!" Lu Li shouted .

Cain's Left Hand thought that Gale Step would be a waste of a cooldown in this situation, but he still followed Lu Li's instructions and casted it . Princess Theradras' huge palms slammed onto the ground beneath him, but they did not deal any damage at all .

Gale Steps was a skill that gave the caster both Stealth and Invulnerability . This stalled enough time for the Stun on Lu Li and others to wear out .

Cain's Left Hand quickly charged towards the Boss to reestablish aggro . It wasn't his fault that the Boss had randomly switched targets before .



There were walls in Princess Theradras' underground palace, but since she was protecting the corpse of her deceased lover, she refused to be lured by the players . As such, there was no other way that they could prevent this skill that sent them flying away .

"We'll just have to kill her the normal way," Lu Li said .

There were many commanders that wouldn't know what to do in this situation . Besides using Gale Steps and other invulnerability skills, it was almost impossible to avoid her attacks . Every time their teammates were sent flying, there was a very high chance of them losing a player .

Because guild members were used to taking orders from their shot caller, they were easily influenced by the state of their commander .

Once the commander lost their confidence or panicked, the players taking orders would be in a predicament .

Although Lu Li wasn't as passionate as other commanders, he would never ever lose his cool and would remain calm and steady no matter what the situation was .

"We've only taken down 7% of her HP . If she aims Cain's Left Hand again, he won't have Gale Step to save himself," Deep Watersong said, visibly distraught .

"We'll deal with that if it actually happens . Just keep dealing damage right now," Lu Li said determinedly .

There weren't any other possible solutions and the only way was to continue attacking the Boss . The problem that Deepwater Song raised was purely hypothetical .

Private Dungeons were different from Public Dungeons . You couldn't attempt the dungeon endlessly because there was only a maximum of three attempts . Once a team failed three times, they would be forcefully removed from the dungeon .



"Why do you invade my home?"

Princess Theradras' voice was deep and penetrating, but it wasn't harsh . This was the first time she had spoken since Lu Li and the others attacked her .

Lu Li ignored her because Bosses did not negotiate with players, so there was no point in talking to her .

"This is a robbery! Give me all of your possessions!" Hachi Chan shouted in a cute voice .


"Careful . Stand back a little," Lu Li said as he grabbed her by her collar and dragged her back . If she got too close, she would probably be Princess Theradras' next target . If that happened, she would be instantly killed for sure because she did not have invulnerability skills like Gale Step .

If the healer died, the whole team would follow .

Princess Theradras was outraged and let out a loud thundering roar which made the players scatter like flies .

Repulsive Gaze: Roar at enemy units, causing them to be Feared for 6 seconds .

Lu Li was unaffected!

He had activated the special effect on his mask at the perfect time and avoided the crowd-control .

Voodoo Mask (Exquisite Gold): Armour +42, Agility +30, Strength + 18, Socket Slot +1 . Special Effect: Certain chance of discovering Stealth units regardless of level . Special Effect 2: Icy Veins . Your mind is as calm as ice . When activated, become immune to psychological crowd control such as Fear . Special Effects 3: When you critically an opponent consecutively, your third attack has a 10% chance to deal the combined damage of your previous two attacks . Requires level 40 . Durability 95/95 .

The Icy Veins Special effect required the user to activate it before the oncoming crowd-control . Lu Li had predicted Theradras' Repulsive Gaze and completely avoided the Fear debuff .

After using the crowd-control skill, she immediately entered an channeling state .

Although she couldn't attack, Theradras could drain the Elemental Energy from the earth, and if left uninterrupted, she would form a shield around her body, increasing her Defense dramatically .

The longer she absorbed the Earth Elemental Energy, the stronger her shield would become .

This was the reason why Lu Li had activated his special effect to avoid being Feared . Since she was very close to Theradras, he immediately kicked her .

This was no ordinary kick – it was the special Thief skill which successfully interrupted Theradras' channel .

The thin shield was instantly destroyed by Lu Li's daggers, and he took the opportunity to burst her while she was in her channeling state . Water Fairy and Cain's Left Hand also took the opportunity to unleash a barrage of attacks .

Thieves could use the Shadow Cloak active with a relatively short cooldown, so it was a no-brainer that they would use it as often as possible .

The few seconds were precious in determining the outcome of this Boss fight . Princess Theradras' HP continued to drop quickly and she wasn't able to retaliate at all . They were glad that they had brought in three Thieves to this dungeon run .

When Theradras' channel was finished, she used another new skill .

Triple Strike!

This dealt more than 380 points of damage to Deep Watersong and he was almost killed instantly . Druids were had weaker Magic Resistance which made them inferior to a Warrior Main Tank .

The melee skill Triple Strike was an Earth elemental magic skill .

Hachi Chan immediately focused all of her healing onto Deepwater Song and Lu Li began attacking furiously in an attempt to draw aggro . Since he had the Darkmoon Card, he could afford to die and use it to revive again . However, Deepwater Song had to be kept alive no matter what because there were no secondary Tanks in the party and no one else could tank the damage from Theradras .

"I can't believe she forced me to use this!" Deepwater Song shouted when he was at critical HP

A bright, green light filled his body as his HP was instantly restored and his Defense was also greatly increased .

"That skill is so overpowered! Is that a special effect from your gear?" Lu Li was surprised . He knew that this wasn't a Druid skill because he had played a Druid in his past life .

"Yeah, I randomly got it from a piece of equipment . The stats aren't great, but the special effect is very useful . " Deepwater Song pretended to be humble, but in his mind, he knew that everyone was impressed with him .

In order to create a realistic world, there were many imbalanced skills and special effects in Dawn . This was just like real life, where nothing was fair and not everyone was created equal .

The game was affected by luck and randomness which made it all the more realistic .

No one could predict what could happen next . Perhaps a simple equip, a random skill, or an unexpected turn of events could completely alter your fate in the game .
