The Great Thief - Chapter 534

Chapter 534

There were several ways that a hunter could receive an exquisite pet .

The first was by capturing it, which referred to a Hunter taming a monster in the wild . However, the strength of the pet greatly varied when using this method . Some pets were stronger than Elite monsters, while others couldn’t even compare with regular monsters .

The second method was by completing a quest . Hunter quests had a chance of rewarding exquisite pets, but the odds were usually quite small . A pet that was the same level and strength as an elite monster was already quite difficult to come by .

The last method was through an Instance Dungeon .

When Fenrus the Devourer split into two wolves, a Hunter could capture one of them .

Of course, all the of outcomes were based purely on luck . It was necessarily the case that a Boss would become an exquisite pet . In reality, most pets were more decorative than they were useful . There were also three measurements for determining whether a pet was good .

In Dawn, these measurements were the pet’s Defence, Attack and Skills .

Of course, for the players who really liked cute pets, their three measurements were cuteness, more cuteness and super-duper cuteness!

When Lu Li asked whether she wanted a wolf pet, Remnant Dream shook her head as her eyebrows furled .

"It so ugly; I would be ashamed to take it outside . "

"Psht," Lu Li snorted as he rubbed her head, "You can just summon it if someone is trying to kill you . It has a strong area-of-effect skill called Everyone Hit Me . It forces everyone to attack it instead of you, giving you time to run away . "

On that same vein, Hunters could have multiple pets, but could only summon one at a time . The speed at which a hunter swapped pets depended on their skill .

"Okay, that sounds good," the petty little hunter reluctantly agreed .

The Devourer wasn’t difficult to kill and with everyone here, it was really just a joke . Even its strongest bleed skill didn’t help .

In the second phase when it split into two wolves, Lu Li told everyone to slow their damage output .

The two wolves that it split into were its two sons – the mythical Hati and Skoll . Hati was a small white wolf that chased the moon, while Skoll was a small golden wolf that chased the sun .

Remnant Dream hesitated for a moment before decisively choosing the more adorable Hati .

Skoll’s attack was higher, but Lu Li didn’t stop her . Everyone had their own way of playing games and from a cuteness point of view, Hati was the one to go for .

Remnant Dream cast Tame Beast onto Hati again and again .

Hachi Chan stood as far away as she could; she was going insane as she watched the skill being used .

Players couldn’t be captured as a pet, but in a virtual environment, it still made a Non-Human-form Druid feel drowsy .

Eventually, the Tame Beast succeeded and Hati turned white and vanished .

The orphaned Skoll didn’t last much longer . After losing a certain amount of HP, it transformed into back into the Giant Wolf state . However, as Fenrus had lost one half of itself, it was significantly weaker and was quickly killed .

It dropped a level 30 Silver equipment that had average attributes, but it wasn’t suitable for anyone .

The other item it dropped was a Rare Material . Unfortunately, it wasn’t a White Wolf Fang and wasn’t worth much money .

The next Boss was another wolf – Wolf Master Nandos . It was much stronger than Fenrus but it didn’t have as many attack patterns . As such, it couldn’t escape the hands of Lu Li and the others .

When this Boss fell, it dropped a level 30 Silver Wolf Master Cloak . It was quite similar to what Lu Li had, so it was given to March Rain .

After defeating the Wolf Master, they finally arrived at Arugal .

Lu Li and the others had placed all of their expectations about the Shadowfang Keep onto this guy .

The Rare Material, Glutton Shackle, had a certain probability of dropping from Arugal . This probability was likely increased due to the Nightmare difficulty .

There was also the Book of Ur; this upgradeable item was almost legendary . Lu Li didn’t have much hope in obtaining, but he couldn’t help but wait in anticipation .

If he had the Book of Ur, he would be safer when exploring more dangerous places .

The Book of Ur could summon three Giant Wolves . One was a high-attack wolf that only had 1000HP . It had a heinously low Defence, but its attacks were not much weaker than that of an ordinary Boss .

There was also a high-defense wolf which was extremely tanky . Even Lu Li’s group of ten players couldn’t hope to defeat it in less than half an hour .

Conversely, this one didn’t have much combat-effectiveness .

The last one was more balanced, with decent attack and defense . It was a useful help to solo players, but could only be summoned once a day . It also only lasted for 5 minutes at a time, but it could still be very effective .

Additionally, the Book of Ur could also transform him into a Worgen .

This was not a simple transformation, but it gave him other bonuses like Attack, Defence, HP and Speed, based on his own attributes .

Even if it only lasted for 10 seconds, it was more than enough time for Lu Li to defeat anyone .

Of course, the probability of the Book of Ur dropping was very low, even with Arugal on Nightmare difficulty . He was a level 35 monster with 160,000HP, which was an unusually high amount for a Mage Boss .

"How are we gonna fight it?" Azure Sea Breeze asked .

"Main Tank pulls it, Healer heals and everyone else deals damage," Lu Li said as he rolled his eyes . They really thought that he knew everything .

Although Arugal was only generated for this Instance Dungeon, he was a famous figure in Dawn’s history . There was no good strategy to deal with him and even in Lu Li’s past life, there were few players who could beat it .

Private Instance Dungeons weren’t like Public Instance Dungeons where you could keep trying .

After failing three times, the Instance Dungeon scroll would vanish and you wouldn’t be able to revisit it .

Azure Sea Breeze looked solemn but still charged ahead . Lu Li not having a special strategy was a testament to the fact that this was going to be a difficult Boss .

"Sniff… I can smell strangers," Arugal muttered as he lowered a test tube and turned around .

He had a creepy laugh that was typical of a villain .

"Smell yourself!" Azure Sea Breeze yelled as he smashed him with his shield and rudely began the battle with the final Boss of Shadowfang Keep .

"Ignorant mortals . Soon, you will be crawling before my feet and I will turn you into little baby wolves – the most perfect creatures in the world . " Arugal was just spouting nonsense as he fought .

Lu Li jumped up and kicked him in the abdomen .

The skill that he was channeling was suddenly cancelled and exploded . Lu Li was definitely pleased with himself when this happened . Arugal was a high-level monster with high-level skills, but this made interrupting them even more effective .
