The Great Thief - Chapter 884

Chapter 884
Being a mini Boss, Forresten wasn't that difficult to defeat . The only annoying part of the fight as that he would cast Enchanting Lullaby every time he lost 30% of his HP . However, since March Rain was a professional healer, she had more than one way of cleansing crowd-control skills and managed to keep everyone allive .


Forresten was even easier than Timmy and they took less time to defeat him . They received quite a large chunk of EXP since it was in Bightmare mode .
"Piccolo of the Flaming Fire," Remnant Dream announced, reading out the description of the loot . "Play to invoke the spirit of dance in those around you . "
"Good stuff, but this is more of a toy . If you want it, then roll for it," Lu Li said . He decided not to roll for it because he wasn't interested in these type of items . He thought of giving it to his sister, but she wasn't the type of girl to prank others .
"What does it mean by invoking the spirit of dance?" Wandering asked .
This was such a niche item, and although they explanation was quite simple, it was difficult to understand exactly what it meant .
"Play it, Dream," Lu Li said .
Remnant Dream placed the piccolo near her mouth and blew into the instrument . She didn't know how to play it, so it naturally sounded like a dying cat . However, despite how awful it sounded, everyone was still enchanted by its special effect .
The nine other players around her began dancing uncontrollably . However, Lu Li knew this was going to happen and managed to shake himself out of it .
"Wow, what a cool item!" Azure Sea Breeze exclaimed as his eyes sparkled .


"It's like a magical piccolo in the fairy tales!" Hachi Chan also wanted it .
Most people felt the same way; even Moonlight was tempted to roll for it . Making someone dance uncontrollably whenever you wanted would make for a hilarious prank . The poor victim would look like the biggest idiot, especially at the right timing and location .
"I won't roll for it – up to you guys . Whoever gets it can pay for the repair fees for this dungeon . There's still one last mini Boss left . After that, we'll call it a day and you guys can have free time," Lu Li said as he waved his hands and went ahead by himself .
Eventually, Sakura Memories was determined as the lucky winner of the piccolo, but she gave it to Hachi Chan straight away rather than putting it away in her own inventory .
"I was gonna give it to you as well," Azure Sea Breeze said .
Taking care of the younger players was part of the culture that had been developed in the Xin Xin Mercenary Group . Even if Azure was lying through his teeth, they still didn't call him out on it .
The last boss was called The Unforgiven .
Lylia was a blade of righteousness among her people . She followed her prince to conquer land, slaying countless and various enemies including Gnolls, Murlocs, Trolls and Thieves . She admired her prince and would give her life away for him and for the king of Lordaeron .
After Arthas commanded his forces to purge the city, her sanity was ripped apart from seeing countless innocent civilians die by her hand . She fell on her sword to escape the madness around her, and now existed as a spectral being, forever denied absolution for her heinous acts, forever wandering in Statholme .


The fight would be difficult from the very start because Lylia was a Mage-type boss . Her skills included Frost Shock, which blasted the players with ice, inflicting Frost damage and reducing their movement speed .

Azure Sea Breeze was already quite slow and was now basically immobile because of the movement speed reduction . He also had lower Magic Resistance than Physical Defense .
No one dared to deal too much damage in case they accidentally drew aggro . Additionally, because of the debuff, it would take Azure Sea Breeze quite a while to get it back because of the movement speed reduction .
"What the heck, this Boss is so hard to deal with," Azure Sea Breeze complained .
"This is a matter of skill . Are you going to give up just because she deals magic damage and slows you down a little?" Lu Li mocked him . Azure Sea Breeze had finally realized his weaknesses . There would be many Bosses in the future that counter him; it was impossible to simply stand there and face-tank the Boss as he had done in the earlier levels .
"What should I do then?" Azure Sea Breeze asked with a painful expression .
"Let Moonlight help you . Go and ask him how to deal with Frost Mages . You can also switch your gear around to increase your flexibility," Lu Li suggested . He couldn't be bothered teaching him . Besides, there was no way that he would know more than Moonlight about tanking .
Moonlight obviously obliged and pointed out some positioning and mechanical flaws that Azure Sea Breeze had .
Lu Li also gave his two cents; most of his knowledge about tanking came from his past life .
The Unforgiven dropped an axe called the Soul Breaker .
The stats were decent, but it had a very unique Special Effect . When attacking, it caused the target to lose an additional 50 points of health and mana .
"This weapon is pretty good against classes with low mana," Moonlight observed . It was clear that he had good insight and knowledge about the game .
The Soul Breaker would be useless against a Mage or a Warlock because they had more mana than HP, as well as a fast MP recovery . A PVP fight would last around a minute or so, making it impossible to empty their mana pool with the Soul Breaker .
However, against Paladins, who used up large amounts of mana, this weapon would be devastating .
"Take it – I don't think there's anyone else that wants it," Lu Li said as he gave the weapon to Moonlight . Soul Breaker was only useful in PVP settings as its stats were mediocre for PVE . The special effect was also useless against Bosses .
"There's one more item . It's only Silver grade but,…" Remnant Dream began, then paused and yelled .
"What? What?" Whenever Remnant Dream had this reaction, everyone became excited because of what was to follow . Lu Li was also excited, but he knew that a Silver equip wouldn't usually be enough for Remnant Dream to go crazy like that .
Remnant Dream hastily shared the details of the equipment .
Mask of the Unforgiven (Silver): Defense +5%, All stats +10, Special Effects 1: Increase Stealth effects by 10% . Special Effects 2: Allows the user to transform into another class . Effect will expire once the user enters battle . Requires Level 40, No Durability .
It was a mask!
This was an extremely rare item . The mask that most players wore had no stats and was only for aesthetic purposes .
Lu Li was lucky because he had purchased a decent one from the Exchange Hall when the game first tarted . However, compared to that, Mask of the Unforgiven was much better .
Nameless (Steel): 1 Defence, All Stats +1, Special Effect: Hides Information (can be
toggled), Level Requirement: LV1 . No Durability .
The Mask of the Unforgiven allowed the user to transform into another class, which was a very attractive feature for Lu Li . Additionally, it provided a passive that boosted his Stealth, which was very beneficial for Thief classes . Not to mention, the stats completely outclassed his previous mask .
However, Lu Li did not want to force them to give it to him .
Although the item provides a special effect that increased Stealth, the 5% Defense could also be very beneficial for the Main Tank .
Moonlight could also benefit from this item . As a Warrior, he had much higher base Defense than a Thief and the additional Defense would be helpful in a PVP setting .
