Chapter 1507: Chromaggus – Killed for his Crimes

After the second time the team wiped, they finally made it into the third stage.

The first time everyone died, it was simply all due to bad luck. The Boss had freely used his AoE skills, and those who happened to be targeted were those with healing roles. In choosing between whether to save yourself or save someone being attacked, it was hard to avoid getting flustered. However, after your confusion was resolved, there already wouldn’t be many people left.

Having less people in the team meant that the whole team had less damage, but it wasn’t over yet. If they were killed by the debuffs, the Boss would still recover a certain amount of HP.

After they started the third time, Lu Li arranged for some people to assist them. They were to focus on looking at those with healing roles and promptly dispelling the debuff on them. With this kind of Boss, Lu Li couldn’t permit them use an item like their Darkmoon Cards. They would be better off leaving them for Nefarian.

With past experience, the start of the battle went much smoother. The only exception was when Wandering, in taunting the Boss, accidentally let him run off before desperately trying to regain aggro.

“Hold him back! Don’t let him just run off!” Lu Li shouted as he wiped some cold sweat off his forehead.

Luckily, Wandering managed to in the end, otherwise, Chromaggus would have rushed straight at March Rain and Darkness. Chromaggus could still instantly kill March Rain and Darkness, not to mention all the ranged players around them.

“Just relax. If I’m pulling the monster, what do you have to worry about?” Wandering said, expressing that he shouldn’t have been doubted.

“Just focus on your job. Whoever asks anymore questions, I’ll take points off them,” Lu Li muttered.

“Haha, don’t you have any new ideas? You always take off points,” Wandering chided. He already had his points reduced in this Instance Dungeon before, and he absolutely hated this form of control. Now, he didn’t want to make any mistakes, or else he wouldn’t have enough DKP to auction for equipment.

Speaking of this, his role was also rather embarrassing.

He was said to be the Main Tank, but not the most important one. Therefore, if there was Main Tank equipment Azure Sea Breeze got priority. Wandering also wasn’t a competitor, so the policy of competitors getting priority didn’t benefit him. He could only rely on his own points to gain equipment.

Even if he had a good relationship with Lu Li, it didn’t matter. After all, Lu Li had to consider the needs of everyone.

However, there were no Defensive Paladins in this team except for Wandering, so this was something for others to take into consideration. Also, Wandering, in any case, was still in the upper management of the guild. Under normal circumstances no one would fight him for equipment.

Lu Li had thought to remind World’s Best Friend at this time to take aggro.

“Best Friend, careful. Get ready to take Aggro.”

Fortunately, they had arranged for three Main Tanks. The frequency at which the AoE skills were being cast was simply too fast, so the rate of changing Tanks correspondingly had to be increased. Two tanks were simply not enough.

With three Main Tanks, it was a completely different style of play. Azure Sea Breeze was edgy and pretentious, while Wandering was a little disorganised. World’s Best Friend was more like a normal Main Tank – serious and diligent, fully carrying out the tasks that Lu Li told him to do. This type of person might not do well as a spontaneous substitute, but he was still a very passable Main Tank at the very least.

“Melee players, take the Time Lapse and attack with everything you’ve got! After this wave of skills is over, let’s aim to get into the third stage!” Lu Li yelled, setting up a small goal for everyone.

Time Lapse had been cast again!

This time, they managed to fight their way into the third stage, as Lu Li anticipated.

“Let’s aim to get past this Boss.”

Lu Li looked at the line-up of his remaining teammates, and thought that it wouldn’t be a problem at all to finish this fight.

None of the three Main Tanks had died, and only two healers died. The ones who were left could manage to keep going and there enough players to dispel the debuffs.

With Lu Li’s specialised judgement, it took him a moment to realise that they had this one opprotunity to kill the Boss.

The only worry was Chromaggus going Beserk in the final stage.

In actual fact, the Bosses after the little Red Dragon going Beserk wasn’t really that significant.

Especially with Chromaggus, the skills that he used inflicted far more damage than his Beserk would. After all, Beserk only resulted in an increase of the Boss’ attack speed.

“Warriors, be careful of your HP, and Main Tanks, be careful of the Boss’ Beserk. Stay focused, even to the last moment. If we mess up while we’re in the midst of it, then it will be a really major loss,” Lu li said, giving them a final, simple motivation.

Two minutes later, Lu Li and his team were victorious in this third team battle.

Things went a little smoother than expected, but it was still what they anticipated. After all, this wasn’t a result of their sheer power. As long as they could understand the few specific traits of the Boss’ skills and work around them, with a bit of luck, defeating the Boss wasn’t a problem at all.

However, what if it was Time Lapse with Ignite Flesh?

Lu Li thought they didn’t have enough Hourglass Sand; they would likely have to eat into their reserves of the Spider Webs. Or perhaps they would simply just not keep thinking about it too much, and simply delay the fighting until next week, when the dungeon refreshed.

This really wasn’t a joke – if they actually faced this combination, Lu Li would seriously think about giving up. Ruling Sword really wasn’t the least bit wealthy at all. This type of battle had depleted them of quite a few hundred gold. If they had to fight for a few days, like with the little Red Dragon, the cost would outweigh the benefits.

As for the issue of the First Clear, Lu Li wasn’t concerned at all.

He was concerned about the Molten Core before, and perhaps he was concerned with the other later Instance Dungeons. It was just Blackwing’s Nest that he wasn’t concerned about.

Even if they went back now to drink and party, it wouldn’t impact their progress at all. This was because all the other clubs were all stuck at the little Red Dragon. Lu Li guessed that they would be stuck there for at least two weeks. After all, the other clubs didn’t have the Dragon Slayer’s Roar anymore.

However, no one would object to progressing through an Instance Dungeon quickly.

The sooner they dealt with Chromaggus, the sooner they could deal with Nefarian. It was only a few days until the Donghua Cup, and although Lu Li didn’t necessarily have to compete, as the boss of the group, he needed to pay attention to how they would.

“Go and loot the equipment,” Lu Li said.

Because of the Boss’ difficulty, the quality of the few Gems that they found relatively good. Lu Li was given one which increased Evasion and decided that he would set it on his Pants. Different Stones corresponded with different equipment and although you didn’t have to be too serious about it, if you took a Stone that included movement speed and set it on your headgear, it wouldn’t really be that effective.

There was also a Paladin Strengthening Skill Book, which Her Tears gave up everything for.

Presently, the odds of finding this book were extremely low. Apart from doing a few difficult quests and fighting Wild bosses, it was only in Heroic and above difficulty Instance Dungeons that there was a chance of it being dropped.

Her Tears walked over; he had been waiting for this moment. He could spend money in the marketplace for equipment, but a Strengthening Skill Book was something that money couldn’t buy, no matter what the skill was.
