Chapter 1310: Blackblade

Translator: Halcyon Translations  Editor: Halcyon Translations

After exiting The Beast’s room, they saw a large and narrow bridge around the corner. At the end of the bridge stood the territory of the last Boss in the Blackrock Spires, General Drakkisath.

Before crossing the bridge, Lu Li and his party needed to break through the barrier at the entrance.

Of course, the designers would use this chance to cause players some grief. They placed small waves of Horde Berserkers nearby as guards.

“What are you guys looking at?” Lu Li asked as he pointed at the monsters, “Hurry up and drag them over here!”

“I’ll go first.”

Azure Sea Breeze was a little slower than usual, but he still went ahead. After all, he was the Main Tank. In this situation, no one else had the responsibility to take the aggro.

It was good that he didn’t need to run a long way just to take aggro. He just needed to fire a gun towards them to gain their attention.

After the monsters crossed the bridge, everyone rushed into the fray at once. The battle was near the shore, so the rushing skill of the Berserkers didn’t have any effect.

There were also a few people who were brave enough to fight the Berserkers on the bridge.

After crossing the bridge, a group of monsters could be seen standing outside General Drakkisath’s hall. These weren’t mere Berserkers; they had been mixed with dragon blood.

“Are these strong?” Azure Sea Breeze asked. He had learned his lesson from last time.

“These are the door guards of the General Drakkisath. They are the last Boss’ personal guards. Do You think that they’ll be weak?”

Lu Li was trying to recall the information he had about these monsters. After all, he was never in a serious guild in his previous life. A randomly put-together squad would never be able to reach this place, which meant that the only source of information was on the forums. However, he didn’t know that he was going to be reborn, so he didn’t pay much attention to this.

These monsters were quite powerful. If mistakes were made, they would be in a perilous situation.

Mere observations weren’t enough to determine the actual strength of these monsters, which meant that Azure Sea Breeze needed to test them out by rushing forward with his shield up.

The monsters were instantly drawn to Azure Sea Breeze, so he immediately used mitigation. It was because of this mitigation that he managed to avoid dying in an instant from the consecutive critical strikes. All of these monsters were capable of reaching a 100% critical strike chance. Of course, this was only the first attack, otherwise, Lu Li and the party might as well surrender.

As Azure Sea Breeze gained their aggro, Lu Li had already used Sap to control one of the Draconians at the side while one was already Hexed.

This meant that half of the original numbers were already redundant.

The party prioritised the killing of the Horde warriors first. Then, they killed the Draconians one by one.

These Draconians were all magic-based monsters, so they were able to spit fire. The flames that came out of their mouths dealt extremely high damage, which signified the importance of having sufficient fire-resistance stats. If the three Draconian warriors spit fire at the same time, the accumulated damage would be enough to one-shot the players.

“Be wary of your surroundings. Wandering, take the aggro. Everyone else, use your crowd control as often as possible. Let me DPS.”

The difficult part about this was not these six monsters, but the other six patrolling monsters.

They needed to clear enough of the first six before the next six arrived, or else they would be wiped. Their equipment was more than sufficient, so if they wiped here, things wouldn’t be optimistic.

After clearing the door guards, they went into the main hall.

Drakkisath was a ruthless and deceptive strategist. In the battle of Ragnaros against Nefarian’s armies, he forced all the Dark Iron Dwarves out of the Blackrock Mountains after defeating them in battle.

The Blackrock Spires was hidden in the inner parts of the mountain which were mostly inaccessible. This area smelt of death.

Each ascending floor gradually rejected the embrace of the earth. Furthermore, the insides of the Spires were blocked off from the outside, which prevented those inside from experiencing the sun. Most people wouldn’t dare to enter this place.

However, Draconians weren’t affected by these living conditions. They were always willing to fight for their race.

The torches on the walls illuminated the entire hall.

After Lu Li and the party entered, they saw that General Drakkisath was admiring his weapon

collection. His expression was full of concentration and pride as he gazed upon his collection. Countless adventurers came in here, only to be slain by Drakkisath. Their goal? The prized collection of these powerful, legendary weapons.

Drakkisath’s armory stored many precious and powerful weapons. Although it was still fairly dark, the weapons still managed to shine brighter than any jewel.

After seeing Lu Li and his party enter the hall, General Drakkisath didn’t start to panic or yell for reinforcements. He calmly took hold of a sword that emitted black light and evil energy. This blade shook in his hands as it hummed with a low-pitched whine.

“This is the Blackblade of Shahram. Adventurers, do you know this name?”

Lu Li and his party froze up a little as the atmosphere of the room suddenly turned serious. Rend was intelligent, but he did not talk freely to the players like General Drakkisath. At this moment, Azure Sea Breeze hadn’t even charged at the Boss.

“When Titan came to Azeroth for the first time, this was still a chaotic wasteland. Elementals everywhere were hostile towards him. These Elementals worshipped an utterly evil race that originated from the Old Gods. Because of their worship, they rejected Titan’s changes to world, which was for the world to be cleansed and bask in the light.”

General Drakkisath didn’t wait for Lu Li’s response and continued speaking.

“Titan then started to fight against the Old Gods. He unleashed his own army against the Elementals and the Old Gods. The Old Gods’ armies included the strongest Elemental commander that had ever walked the earth, Ragnaros. Moreover, there was also Therazane the Stonemother, Al’Akir and Neptulon the Tidehunter. Among these powerful beings, there was one that stood above the rest -Shahram, the Vice-General under Ragnaros. This Elemental dealt great damage and inflicted many casualties upon Titan’s armies.”

“In the end, Titan destroyed the Elementals’ main power squad. Shahram was also killed and turned into ash. Shahram’s weapon and the other Elementals were locked in a deep and far place – hell. Titan’s victory then brought an era of peace to the world.”

“Now, this blade is in front of you. If you can kill me, then this is yours to keep.”

Everyone’s blood was boiling upon hearing this, especially Moonlight, who wielded two-handed weapons.

This was the weapon of Ragnaros’ strongest soldier. How exquisite would it be!?

Legendary?

No, it would far surpass the grade of Legendary. Mythical? There weren’t currently any Mythical grade items.

However, Lu Li wasn’t excited. In fact, he was rather disappointed.

Why did it have to be the Blackblade?

It wasn’t that he didn’t like this weapon. The Blackblade of Shahram was easily the strongest blade for warriors under level 60. After all, it couldn’t be a normal Legendary item.

There were many weapons in Drakkisath’s collection, but he would take a different one each time. This meant that the weapon could be a Bow, a Staff or even a Dagger.

After entering this Instance Dungeon multiple times, players would eventually discover that whatever Drakkisath took as his weapon would drop upon his defeat.

During this time, the idea that Drakkisath had taken out such a powerful weapon excited the thoughts of his whole party.

However, only Lu Li knew the horrors of Drakkisath wielding the Blackblade. They were already on Nightmare difficulty. Now that he had taken the powerful Blackblade, Lu Li was shocked.

“These monsters should be with the Boss, right? Should I pull them all together?”

Azure Sea Breeze was completely unaware of the misery that awaited them.

“Yeah. Let’s go.”

Lu Li decided to keep quiet. After all, he hadn’t fought General Drakkisath before. The most he did was read through strategies. It wasn’t enough to solidify an advantage, so the first attempt was destined to be a trial. He never hoped to clear this Boss in one try anyway and now that he was wielding the Blackblade, it seemed that all hope was lost.
