The Great Thief - Chapter 286

Chapter 286
"It’s a shame we didn’t get to spectate the game . "


Regret was written all over Sakura Memories’ face; March Rain had left early and was explaining what had
happened during the battle .
Even with Lu Li and Moonlight, she had been killed and had to leave the battle early . This clearly showed
how tough their opponents were .
"You and Gaze know each other?" Lu Li couldn’t help but ask .
Gaze was a famous player and even though he tried to stay under the radar, he was just like Blood Dagger
and the others . They were players who were often analyzed by many, especially when people talked about
PVP masters .
Lu Li recalled from his past life’s memories that Moonlight never participated in competitions, even though
he had the ‘Warrior God’ title . However, no one ever thought that he had better gaming techniques than
Gaze .
"Don’t you and Gaze know each other too?" Moonlight laughed bitterly; not everything in this world was
explainable .
"We’ve fought against each other before . It ended as a draw; he’s a very tough opponent . "
Seeing that he didn’t want to dive deep into this topic, Lu Li didn’t question him any further . Everyone had
their own secrets to keep .
"Yes, Lu Li, I’ve found our weakness . " Moonlight’s expression was serious .
"Are you referring to our skills?" Lu Li asked .
"Yep, you’ve found it too . Compared to their team, our skills were too weak . Otherwise, the match
would’ve been much easier . "


Frost Nova, Soul Shriek, Whirlwind…the caliber of skills books that players from the big guilds were able to
obtain was truly beyond what any ordinary player could imagine .
Even as a mercenary group, Lu Li and the others still seemed like random players in the eyes of many .
"Is it possible to obtain a Soul Shriek skill book now?" Lu Li asked .
"I’ve contacted a few friends, but none of them have it . Currently, this skill is in high-demand; the same
goes for Frost Nova . . . "
It wasn’t only these three skills that Lu Li and the others needed; they actually lacked quite a lot of skills .
For example, Lu Li really needed Kidney Strike .
Kidney Strike was a very powerful crowd-control skill . For a Thief to become the strongest assassinator of
cloth-armored classes, this skill was definitely a requirement . However, Lu Li still hadn’t been able to find
the skill book for it, not even with the help of Shen Wansan .
At the end of the day, the advantage that reincarnation gave had its limits .
"Aiya, it’s our turn . Xin Xin, make sure to accept . " Hachi Chan jumped up; their match was about to begin .
After inviting Lu Xin, she also invited Lu Li .
Lu Li still hadn’t applied for another ranked match and after giving it some though, he accepted the invite .
They were then teleported into the stands of the match arena .
Lu Xin sat beside Lu Li; they had both been invited by Hachi Chan, so it was natural for them to be placed
beside each other .
Hachi Chan, Azure Sea Breeze and Lonsome Flower made a classic team-composition of Warrior, Mage and
Druid . On the other hand, their opponents went for the more aggressive Paladin, Warlock and Thief .
Paladins were capable of dealing damage and healing . They were a very flexible class and because they


wore plated armor, they were able to take more damage .
The Thief went into stealth mode as soon as the match started . The Warlock targeted Hachi Chan and the
Paladin also rushed forward .
"Will Hachi Chan win?" Lu Xin sat beside Lu Li and held onto her brother’s hand, her eyes glistening .
"Of course," Lu Li affirmed .
"Mate, you’re friends with Hachi Chan, right? How can you be so sure they’ll win?"

The audience seating didn’t afford any privacy and the person beside them had a pair of good ears, good
enough to hear what Lu Li was saying in the rowdy environment .
"Brother, why?" Lu Xin wasn’t so sure anymore after she heard someone else question Lu Li .
As they grew up, Lu Li often lied to her . For example, he would bring food home and tell her that he had
already eaten when he hadn’t .
"Because they’re targeting Hachi Chan . " Lu Li was certain of his prediction, but he couldn’t explain it .
His reasoning didn’t sound logical at all – was there anything wrong with trying to kill the healer first?
The Warlock’s Shadow Arrow exploded on Hachi Chan’s leather armor, followed by a -22 and the word
‘Miss’ .
Usually, a miss meant that the skill hadn’t landed . However, in Dawn, it was impossible for a skill not to
land on its target . Rather, the 22 points of damage was a clear indication that the skill had failed .
Shadow Arrow had a cast time of three seconds and was one of the most common skills used by Warlocks .
Even if the Warlock was a lower-level than Hachi Chan, the damage that it dealt should have still been at
least around 150 .
Azure Sea Breeze was known as the number one tank in the game, but he wasn’t well known among PVP
players .
As soon as the embarrassing damage digits floated into the air, the analyst gasped and said what everyone
else was thinking, "Aiya, that’s some bad luck for the Warlock . "
At the same time, the Thief had gone into Stealth and had snuck up behind Hachi Chan .
He used a Cheap Shot to stun Hachi Chan, which was followed by a smooth sequence of skills . It was clear
that he wasn’t an ordinary noob either .
However, what left him speechless was that just like the Warlock, his attacks were also a bunch of failures .
The Warlock and Thief gave it their all, completing an entire round of all their skills, but they only managed
to take around half of Hachi Chan’s health bar .
Dodge, Damage Reduction, Parry, Block – Hachi Chan had it all . The Thief and the Warlock were both
shocked . Was this really a Druid standing before them?
You didn’t even have a shield, so what’s with the block? You didn’t move your staff either, so where did the
parry come from . . .
"Aiya, help!" Hachi Chan screamed . "They’re hitting me! They’re all hitting me! Help me!"
The audience was left speechless .
You barely lost any health; what’s with all this screaming .
Hachi Chan had good equipment, but her attacks and healing were only average . Her gear mostly came
from quests and were all quite unusual .
Azure Sea Breeze and Lonesome Flower didn't stand around doing nothing either . Azure Sea Breeze faced
off against the Paladin while Lonesome Flower aimed at the Thief .
At this point, Lonesome Flower’s unleashed a barrage of spells and attacks . He was a magic damage class
and was focusing his fire on a leather-armored class . A bunch of jaw-dropping numbers floated into the air .
No one attacked him either; he was completely free to do consistent damage .
The Thief really began to feel the pressure . If this continued, he would die before he got around to killing
the Druid with his Warlock teammate .
An unknown effect on his equipment was suddenly activated . A red light radiated from the Thief and his
damage greatly increased . He had already stored five combo points and immediately aimed his ultimate
skill right at the back of Hachi Chan’s head .
As long as the weird statuses didn’t pop up this time, he had faith that this attack would end everything .
After killing the Druid, he planned to then use Gale Steps .
Then, once he ran towards the Paladin and received some healing, he would be in good fighting condition
again .
Lonesome Flower had only just finished a skill rotation, so he could only watch as the Thief went berserk
and attacked Hachi Chan .
Don’t disappoint us; heal yourself .
Unfortunately, Hachi Chan was at a loss since she couldn’t find the Thief . She had no clue that the Thief had
already made his way behind her and was prepared to surprise her .
"Even though she’s cute, she’s honestly too stupid . "
The person who was sitting next to Lu Li clearly wasn’t a supporter of Hachi Chan and had smug look
plastered all over his face .
Before he could finish his sentence, the tides of battle suddenly shifted .
