Of course, the Hakkar here wasn't the real thing – otherwise, Lu Li and the others would be asking for death .
They found themselves in a very spacious room with nothing inside besides an altar in the center . Around the altar were four fire torches .
"Hachi Chan?" Now, it was up to the quest master . After all, she was the one with the Egg of Hakkar .
"You guys should be careful . After I activate the egg, the side doors will be sealed and Flying Snakes will spawn in the center of the room . These Flying Snakes will drop the Blood of Atal'ai after they die . The Troll who gave me the quest said that you have to put out those flaming torches with the blood . At the same time, dragons will spawn and go to the center to steal Hakkar's blood . We must kill them, or else Hakkar won't be able to revive…" Hachi Chan explained as she tilted her head, carefully recalling what the NPC had said to her .
Everyone was left speechless .
When did these NPCs become so nice? Not only did they not set up traps for her, but they even taught her the dungeon strategy .
In Lu Li's previous life, he had no clue how amazing the Charm and Luck attributes were . Hachi Chan apparently was the type of person with an incredible amount of Charm . She had written many quest guides in the forum, but it seemed like not many people believed them .
She could activate some quests, but others couldn't, even though they followed her guide to a tee . Some quests could be completed in three steps by her, but others would take five and still not be done . The final rewards in the end were usually not even as good as what she had received .
Needless to say, Hachi Chan and Remnant Dream were treasures that Lu Li picked up unintentionally .
"Me, Nuo Yu and Kitty will kill the dragons; you guys look after the Flying Snakes . Memories and Hachi Chan, you two can collect the blood to put out the flame . I've changed the distribution mode already, so anything can be collected freely . Hachi Chan, start it," Lu Li instructed, distributing the tasks .
The easiest mistake at this stage would be to not focus on the dragons . Once the dragons absorbed all the blood from the egg, Hakkar wouldn't be able to be summoned .
Hakkar also wouldn't be summoned if the flames weren't put out .
However, Lu Li and the others had received the strategy from the NPC through Hachi Chan . Lu Li also knew how to do this stage already, so it would be difficult for them to run into any issues .
After two minutes, all four flames were put out and Hakkar was revived .
"Die, mortals!"
The Avatar of Hakkar was actually just a level 48 skeletal Wind Serpent .
Hakkar wasn't a hard boss .
The hardest part of this fight was retrieving the egg, which was a challenging and complicated quest in itself . Without the Egg of Hakkar, they wouldn't be able to kill the Boss .
Hakkar had four skills – Wind Slash, Whip, Language Curse and Craze .
Wind Slash and Craze were its ultimate skills .
The former was a spinning attack that dealt insane damage and also harvested health points . However, as long as players weren't being stupid, they would know to dodge it .
Craze was similar to a previous skill from Jammal'an the Prophet, but the effect was slightly different . Jammal'an's Witchcraft caused players to increase their damage, while decreasing their movement speed . Hakkar's Craze would make a player lose control and cause them to attack their allies for six seconds . Players impacted by the effect would receive a 50% Attack Speed boost and their movement speed would be increased by 80% .
Whip was a control-type skill which stunned a target for 2 seconds with a certain chance of disarming them .
As for Language Curse, this was a skill directed at magic-type classes . They would receive a 50% cast speed decrease from the skill, which lasted for 15 seconds . The troublesome part of this spell was that Hakkar used it a lot, so it was almost a guarantee that there would always be at least one magic class player that was half-useless .
The battle took no longer than a dozen minutes .
The experience reward wasn't too bad, but unfortunately, no one received skill points this time .
"This boss drops good things, Dreamy, good luck," Lu Li said expectantly . In his previous life, he had seen someone sell a robe in an auction from this Boss called the Embrace of the Wind Serpent .
It wasn't a Legendary item, and the highest grade it could be was Gold, but it was still extremely valuable . This was especially so after a few months when the game updated and the designers deleted it from the database .
This meant that the Embrace of the Wind Serpent would become the first out-of-print item in Dawn .
The Attributes of this equip were average, but appearance-wise, it looked like clothing designed by the top international fashion designers . With all these factors combined, it instantly became one of the most expensive items in the game .
At the same time, its drop rate was really low, so there weren't more than ten of them in the entire game .
As time continued to pass by, the few Embrace of the Wind Serpent became like artworks . Their value would only appreciate over time .
"Embrace of the Wind Serpent," Remnant Dream announced, interrupting Lu Li's thoughts .
When everyone saw the attributes of this Gold equip, they didn't feel particularly thrilled . The Attributes were so bad to the point that they weren't sure if this was really a Gold grade equip .
"Give it to me if no one wants it," Lu Li said .
He couldn't tell everyone else that this was an item that was going to disappear . He was afraid that others would take it and sell it, then regret it later .
No one else really had anything to say about this, so Lu Li placed the robe into his own bag and gave everyone some guild points to compensate .
The second item was also an equip – Warrior's Embrace . Even though it was Silver grade, its special effect made it clearly better than the Embrace of the Wind Serpent . Lu Li assigned Azure Sea Breeze to check if anyone else from the guild needed it .
The third item was a rare material – Bone Scale . These rare materials usually dropped from Skeletal Dragons, so it was an unexpected surprise to find one here .
After they killed Jammal'an and the Avatar of Hakkar, the final boss – Shade of Eranikus – would then appear . The Shade of Eranikus was Hachi Chan's quest monster . By sharing the quest, everyone else also received it .
After being corrupted by Hakkar, Eranikus fell and became a Tyrant of the Dream, forgetting his own duties .
Of course, the one in the Temple of Hakkar was only a shadow of Eranikus . It was still hard to judge the age of the queen's partner, but from previous records, it could be estimated that he was older than Korialstrasz .
Eranikus was guarded by two green dragons . They were no different to the two that Lu Li and the others had killed previously in the hall .
