The Great Thief - Chapter 270

Chapter 270
Lu Li refused to kill the Shaman .


As long as the Shaman was alive, the Mage and Warrior would still believe there was hope . Naturally, they wouldn’t easily give up .
The test of the previous match wasn’t comprehensive enough .
Now that March Rain was down to half-HP, the resolve of the Mage and Warrior was further strengthened . They only needed a bit more effort to kill this Priest . Then, they could save their Healer and win the match in a three on two…
As for why Lu Li and Moonlight weren’t helping their Healer, perhaps they were just rookies .
‘That must be the case’, the two reassured themselves .
March Rain was hit again and again with devastating blows; there were several occasions where the Mage almost killed her .
The Mage’s attributes weren’t very high, but his equipment must have given him bonus critical hit, as each critical hit dealt significant damage to March Rain .
They also realized that March Rain’s technique and game-awareness were a little lacking . This was especially the case for her positioning, as she didn’t seem to move much .
Soon, the Mage gave up on his instant cast skills and started channeling .
Channeled skills were obviously stronger than Instant Cast skills, so the pressure on March Rain was now even greater .
“Is this a little excessive?” Moonlight thought that she couldn’t take it . He could only try his best to pester the Warrior as he couldn’t kill him .
“Its fine . March Rain is stronger than you think,” Lu Li replied calmly .
“Well, I’m just worried that she might not be able to tank all of these attacks . If she dies…” Moonlight was still casually harassing the Warrior when he realized how effective Lu Li’s stress test really was .
Due to the fear of an unexpected failure, no one dared to use the competition to train .


Only Lu Li dared to do this, and only the Xin Xin Mercenary Group had players who were higher than level 25 .
“You have to develop and experience everything – even death,” Lu Li said indifferently .
Part of his PVP technique had come from a variety of difference sources from his previous life . He had refused to follow any one technique or theory, striving to find something that worked perfectly for him .
Another part had come from his previous life of self-discipline .
When he entered the game, Dawn had already been up for a year . As a Gold Collection Member, his life basically consisted of killing mobs over and over and over…
If it weren’t for the incident, he probably would have remained as a Gold Collection Member .
Unfortunately, things went wrong and people started looking for trouble with him .
One day, two overexcited players ran up to Lu Li and killed him, sending him back to the city .
That feeling of being targeted and oppressed was quite depressing .
After he had been killed, he sent his attackers a message asking why . (Dead players couldn’t speak, but could still send text messages) The response from those players changed his life .
Do we need a reason for killing weaklings like you?
From that point onwards, Lu Li no longer believed that being a Gold Collection Member was a viable career .
He did a lot of studying and spent all of his time in the library, learning about various close-quarters combat techniques that were used in the arena .
He had long since forgotten the names of those players, otherwise, he would have killed them a few times by now . However, he would also thank them, because without them, he wouldn’t be where he was now, even if he had experienced rebirth .


This was the same for March Rain . Whether she was killed in the arena or not, this was something that she needed to experience .
Her HP continued to dwindle and she had fallen to critical HP on more than one occasion . Her Mana was also visibly depleting and she looked like she was about to cry .
March Rain felt like she had been wronged . Her two DPS teammates were just standing there and allowing her to die to this Mage . Even though she knew that this was just an exercise, she had always been spoiled by her brother and had never felt so helpless before .

If Lonesome Flower saw this scene, he would definitely seek revenge on Lu Li .
The phrase ‘acting resourcefully’ accurately described March Rain .
When the situation became desperate, she inadvertently ran to a nearby pillar .
She got there just in time . The Mage’s skill had failed while he was halfway through the channeling because he had lost sight of his target .
Both the Mage and March Rain were stunned by this outcome .
Lu Li and Moonlight exchange smiles and sighs; this girl had finally discovered the secret .
However, the Mage refused to accept this . He chalked it up to luck; this Priest girl had definitely just stood behind the pillar by accident .
As such, he adjusted his position and started channeling once again .
Unfortunately, he didn’t understand March Rain at all .
Although March Rain hadn’t played many games in the past, she was a very quick learner, able to derive a deep understanding from a little bit of information . She was even better than Lu Li at this, which is why he insisted on taking her to this competition .
When March Rain saw that the Mage had started channeling again, she calmly took a few steps .
His skill was interrupted once again and the Mage felt a chill in his heart .
How was he supposed to fight like this?!
Killing a Priest wasn’t difficult . You just needed to apply some crowd-control and have two players focus-fire the Priest .
However, the Warrior was currently engaged and the Shaman couldn’t help either, as even if he recovered from Sap, he only had defensive skills .
They had managed to advance using this composition in the last Shadow Cup .
Were they really about to lose on the third match?
The two of them were stuck in a cycle of chasing and hiding . March Rain’s critical HP had now regenerated back to full .
When the Mage walked towards her, March Rain cast a skill .
Shadowfiend!
Her Shadowfiend was now a whole level higher . If the full potential of Shadowfiend was realized, it could regenerate 50% of her mana .
Lu Li almost applauded at the sight of this .
Firstly, March Rain had not cast Shadowfiend on the Mage or the Warrior . Damage dealing professions weren’t afraid of Shadowfiend as it was a formless summon that could be killed in two to three hits .
Instead, she had put the Shadowfiend on the Shaman’s body .
The poor Shaman couldn’t even defend himself; how could he fend off a Shadowfiend?
Secondly, the timing at which she had casted Shadowfiend was perfect .
The Mage was on the other side of the pillar desperately trying to lower her HP with instant cast skills . Due to the pillar obstructing his view, he had no way of seeing the situation that the Shaman was in .
He could only see the Priest’s mana increasing… at first there was only 30% remaining, then suddenly, it regenerated up to 80% .
80% might as well have been 100% .
The Mage felt like the situation here was hopeless and desperately rushed towards Lu Li, leaving March Rain behind .
If it weren’t for the difference in strength due to the levels and equipment, he would have killed March Rain . The situation was hopeless unless he could get someone else to help .
He was going to save the Shaman first and then attack the Priest together .
He had decided to fight the Thief .
The Thief’s fighting style was the most unorthodox in all of Dawn .
These two professions also had an unorthodox way of doing battle, much unlike the usual charging at each other .
Was a Thief easier to kill than a Priest? Perhaps, but definitely not in this situation .
Lu Li sighed . The trainer had given up on his job, so naturally, there was no way to continue this session . The stipulated 30-minute time limit was almost over as well, so he sped up his actions .
Lu Li’s casual attacks were suddenly replaced with vicious, relentless ones, with high-levels of Skill Completion .
The Shaman felt wronged, as he thought Lu Li was a cheat .
If you showed me that you were this strong from the start, I wouldn’t have underestimated you .
