The Great Thief

There were many Thieves, so an item like this T2 Glove that had never dropped before was even more important.

Naturally, the Thieves began bidding and the T2 item easily reached the 100 point mark. This was the nature of the market. An item could be on the same level, or maybe even better than another, but because of the supply and demand, the prices would be lower if there weren’t many people playing that class. However, the demand for Thief, Mage, Warrior, Priests was much higher, so the prices were also much higher.

Items of this calibre belonging to Hunters, Paladins, Druids or Shamans would usually be sold at a much lower price.

“120.”

Some people said that Water Fairy’s voice was like the sound of nature, which was why her livestream was extremely popular. Listening to her voice was like being in a dream. Unfortunately, she wasn’t that talkative. During Instance Dungeon runs, she often remained silent throughout the whole run. Even when she did talk, it was when she was walking with Lu Li and they usually only whispered.

Now, she had opened her mouth because of this T2 glove.

“125.”

Someone else also bid for it. The increments were much smaller now; they were no longer jumping by tens.

Perhaps they were smaller because they wanted to hear Water Fairy’s voice more. This technique was not known to ordinary people.

“150.”

Unfortunately, Water Fairy wouldn’t bid like that. She only had 150 points, but decided to use them all here.

“1…”

Scarlet New Moon had more Guild Points than Water Fairy, but only a little bit more. He could outbid her if he chose to, but before he finished, Cain’s Left Hand stopped him.

Cain’s Left Hand had one hand around his neck and one hand on his mouth. Then, he spoke a few words into Scarlet’s ear.

“Never mind. It’s not worth spending that many points on one item. Only fools would do it,” Scarlet New Moon laughed a little, rolled his eyes, then continued, “No matter how smart the person, they all become fools in the name of love.”

“But the hint of jealousy is still there…”

Everyone was laughing at these two fools in love. One had spent 240 points just to buy a cosmetic item, while the other used all her points just to buy a single set item. These 150 points could have been used to buy two items if the circumstances were not as desperate.

Clearly, everyone knew why Water Fairy wanted to buy this item.

Lu Li looked deep into her eyes, then gave the item to her. It was time for the final item= the Rejuvenating Gem.

The Rejuvenating Gem was an exquisite item for Healers. This was an example of the type of items that could drop from a level 60 high-difficulty Instance Dungeon. It was much better than the previous Robe, so the competition was much more intense.

In the end, Darkness managed to get her hands on the item.

She was the top Healing Paladin in Ruling Sword. She was usually quite reserved, but she was the main healer in Instance Dungeons.

This girl had already unknowingly been in Ruling Sword for a few months.

At the start, the rumours that she was Sorrowless’ girlfriend caused many people to suspect her of ill intentions. However, as time passed, these negative feelings and thoughts towards her gradually disappeared. It wasn’t that people stopped believing that she was extremely close to Sorrowless, but that no one believed that she had ill intentions regarding Ruling Sword.

This was only a game; it wasn’t like the ground-shaking drama and competition in the novels. Even if she had infiltrated Ruling Sword, there were only so many things that she could have gotten. It wouldn’t be worth the amount of time that she had been in Ruling Sword.

Furthermore, Sorrowless wouldn’t be willing to make his girlfriend go undercover into Ruling Sword.

In reality, Darkness was getting along with everyone and she was happy here.

As for Sorrowless’ thoughts about this, who cared?

Flamegor was the result of one of Nefarian’s experiments. He wasn’t that much different to the previous two Bosses. The only difference was that he had Enrage. When in an Enraged state, he would unleash a skill that had no blind spots. This skill was enough to kill 80% of the players present.

Actually, killing 20%, 80% or 100% of players ultimate didn’t make much difference because Enrage would cause a squad wipe. The first squad wipe was because of this skill. It was fortunate that the Enrage came at the start of the battle, so it didn’t waste much time.

The key point regarding this skill was that it could be interrupted.

This was where Hunters were put into use. They could use Tranquilising Shot to interrupt the Boss’ Enrage.

Lu Li arranged for a few Hunters to do this. Their DPS didn’t matter, but they needed to do their job when the skill was cast.

Sky Moon was responsible for arranging these Hunters in a rotation so that there would be replacements when the skill was resisted.

Sky Moon was quite good at this. He was the one who had raised the suggestion of having a separate commander. Furthermore, with Lu Li’s guidance, he had ‘discovered’ the Boss’ Enrage. Flamegor would have a red light shining beneath his feet just before using this skill. This red circle of light would enlarge and by the end of 3 seconds, Flamegor would be Enraged. The Hunters just needed to land a Tranquilising Shot in these 3 seconds.

Without the Enrage, Flamegor was a piece of cake.

After the little Red Dragon, Flamegor and his brothers were all swiftly dealt with.

For the sake of ensuring the safety of the Hunters, Lu Li grouped March Rain and Hachi Chan with them. They were completely focused on healing the Hunters. Furthermore, Lu Li had arranged for the Warlocks to bind the Hunters with the Soulstone to revive them when they died.

“There is still quite a bit of time. Stay calm and we’ll be fine,” Lu Li assured as he looked at the Boss’ HP.

“If we wipe again, then we won’t have enough time.”

Sky Moon’s eyes were fixated on the ground beneath the Boss’ feet, ready for Enrage to be cast.

“You’re right. Everyone, let’s step it up a notch, but leave your powerful burst skills for later. Same goes for the healers.”

Lu Li didn’t ask them to go on a full-offense because of the time, but because of the Enrage that would come before the Boss’ death. This particular Enrage would not be interruptible, but wasn’t a 360-degree area of effect.

This meant that the other Enrages would only increase the Boss’ attack power and attack speed, along with Fire-based damage. At that time, everyone would then unleash their full offensive arsenals to kill the Boss.

If they were lucky, the Boss might not enter an Enraged state today. After all, it had tried multiple times, but was interrupted each time.

Unfortunately for the team, Lu Li always had bad fortunes

The Boss’ Enrage was finally cast. This time, the Boss was quite excited. None of its attempts at being Enraged had succeeded prior to this, but now, it had finally happened. The Boss was now filled with strength.

“What are you waiting for? Use everything you have! Kill the Boss!” Lu Li yelled.

The enraged Boss was taken aback. These adventurers were still hiding their strength! This must have been their true power – how shameless!
