The Great Thief - Chapter 552

Chapter 552

The map this time was a little complex . It was the sort of map with irregular geography, peculiar monsters and strange weather .

When Ruling Sword entered the match, they found themselves standing in a cottage . Outside, rain poured down heavily . Fat Monkey’s face immediately turned green — how could you make a Fire Mage fall in love with a place like this?

Lu Li wasn’t impressed either; he was a Thief . His tracks were much easier to spot in the rain .

Of course, the rain wouldn’t cause his Stealth to fail, otherwise, there would be no Thieves left . What the rain impacted was the effect of Stealth – there was a greater chance for his opponents to detect his .

"Is this bad luck?" Fat Monkey asked helplessly .

A fireball appeared from the tip of his staff and flew out . It landed onto a dried branch on the side and only caused a spark .

The damage was reduced by at least 10% .

"We have a lower visibility too – around forty-five yards, which is less than half the usual range…Movement speed…skill casting speed…" Moonlight was very professional and calculated the impact of the rain .

"Let’s go . We’re affected, but so are they . I’ll scout ahead in front," Lu Li said as he pulled on his cloak and headed into the rain .

As soon as he entered Stealth, it was as if the rain had disappeared, along with all sense of sound and touch . The rain followed the strength of the wind and dropped straight down, going through his body and onto the ground .

His footprints left a light mark on the grass, but it soon returned to its original state .

What Lu Li had to worry about was not tripping over . In that case, even an idiot would be able to discover him .

The players from Peerless City was still in their little rooms, and were not in any better condition than Ruling Sword . By the time Lu Li scouted his way to the area, he saw them come out into the rain .

There was a Warrior, Priest, Paladin, Warlock and Hunter, alongside two pets . The pet of the Warlock was a Hellhound, while the Hunter had a black lion .

Humar!

Lu Li recognized this rare and exquisite pet immediately .

If you wanted to see Hunters fight each other, the Barrenlands, which was the location of where Humar refreshed, was definitely the place to go . Countless Hunters wandered around the place all the time, just so they could catch this pet as soon as it refreshed .

Even Remnant Dream went there for a few days, but unfortunately, she caught nothing .

The most interesting thing was that players there didn’t approve of any guild that tried to take control of the place . Any guilds who attempted to do so would be hunted down by all the Hunter players . The first guild that attempted this tactic had already been destroyed by all the Hunters .

Vegetarian Mosquito’s pet was no easy target, but this was quite normal if you thought about it . Vegetarian Mosquito was a survival Hunter, so if his pet wasn’t good, he wouldn’t be able to deal damage .

"Damn the rain; we can’t even see clearly . Flare probably won’t be of much use . " Vegetarian Mosquito didn’t like the weather either .

In this Match, only Lu Li played a Stealth class, so he was capable of locating his opponents at all times .

Under his instructions, Ruling Sword and Peerless City began to play hide-and-seek . They constantly moved, positioning themselves far away from Peerless City, while Peerless City could only carefully search around .

Both parties brushed pass each other countless times and the audience was anxious for them .

This match was like the championship match, and included enough space for millions of viewers . With virtual technology, all seats provided multiple perspectives to spectate the match .

Both parties were popular, especially Ruling Sword – there was a lot of focus on them .

One of the parties were the champions of the Shadow Cup, while Peerless City were the champions of the Magic Cup . There were bound to be interesting things happening when two champion teams collided against each other . The crowd wanted to see something unexpected, and besides some loyal fans, most of the audience wanted to see the victory of Ruling Sword .

It would only be fun if the champion lost .

Of course, the professionals were looking for something else; most of them were reevaluating the Thief class .

Thieves were never a weak profession . This type of class always had its own way of demonstrating itself in different games . A great number of these professional players also appeared in the competitive scene, for example, Blood Dagger, Water Fairy and Wood Fearing .

However, people also discovered that once the teams reached a certain number of players, the use of Thieves became restricted .

They weren’t as useful as plated classes such as Paladins and Warriors . Most teams could still do well without a Thief, but they definitely had to at least have a Warrior or a Paladin .

Once again, Lu Li’s actions redefined the Thief class .

To be fair, he was always known as the textbook for Thieves .

"Stop going ahead – there’s an ambush!" the fans which supported Peerless City shouted on the inside .

Unfortunately, the players from Peerless City couldn’t hear them; there was no communication between players in the match and anyone outside . The audience could only watch as Lu Li instructed Ruling Sword to place down a sneaky trap along a little hill where Peerless City was bound to pass by .

Although there were no trees, the grass was above knee length .

Lu Li had chosen to set up an ambush here for a simple reason . The players from Peerless City had just passed by a forest, which was ideal for an ambush, and had been on guard the entire time . As such, they were bound to drop their guard to a certain extent after they passed through it .

The second reason was that the geography gave Lu Li and the others an advantage .

The slope of the hill would be useful for Moonlight, and they would be moving with the wind when they jumped out .

On the other hand, Peerless City would be moving against the wind and the rain, which would severely limit their vision .

No matter what the audience thought, the battle erupted just the way that Lu Li had planned .

Moonlight and Fat Monkey charged out . One of them casted Frost Nova while the other used Whirlwind . Moonlight chose to Charge at Chanelle, the target that everyone agreed to focus on .

A part of the reason why they chose her was because girls were more likely to have a worse mentality and a slower reaction time .

Lu Li had already snuck up close .

As soon as the battle began, he stunned Chanelle and the girl took an entire Whirlwind .

Deadly Golden Underwear yelled and as soon as Moonlight appeared, activating some sort of effect as a blood-red glow covered him .

He didn’t try to save Chanelle, which was a smart move .

There was no guarantee that Chanelle could be saved, and he couldn’t stand through Moonlight’s Whirlwind either .

He rushed towards March Rain and attacked, instantly dealing a third of her health . His attack was doubled with a critical strike on top .

This was expected from the Berserker with the highest damage .

If everyone did their own thing, it would be a guaranteed death for Chanelle .

With the Bloodlust effect from Sakura Memories, Lu Li, Fat Monkey and Moonlight could kill anyone that they focused on .

However, if they killed Chanelle, March Rain would be in danger . Deadly Golden Underwear in Berserk mode was too powerful, and March Rain probably couldn’t make it past the fifth attack .

Peerless City also had other players too .

Once their main healer died, it would be a guaranteed loss for Ruling Sword .
