The Great Thief - Chapter 645

Chapter 645

The members who came today weren't elite group members, so they couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the battle . They often moved left when they were instructed to move right and gathered when they were supposed to scatter . Mistakes were often made and team members constantly died .

This was the price that they had to pay in order to get better . Lu Li wasn't the least bit concerned about their experience losses; he continued to direct the battle heartlessly .

After the health of the boss dropped below half, many of those who died had been revived already . Those who thought highly of themselves and were unhappy that they didn't get selected for the elite group began to understand why . They realized what they lacked and the strength difference that was present between them . The elite group members weren't chosen by two players battling each other – the selection was mainly based on their ability to cooperate with the team .

In a battle that involved hundreds of players, any mistake could be critical .

"Team fourteen, I called you to gather . Did you not hear it? That's three points deducted for ten players . " Lu Li was beginning to lose his temper; he couldn't tolerate a silly technical mistake that caused mass-casualties .

The players from team fourteen were embarrassed; they couldn't bring themselves to make any complaints .

They were a randomly-formed team and weren't sensitive to their title as 'team fourteen members' . When Lu Li had previously given instructions to team fourteen, they had no clue he was talking to them .

"Don't stress – just follow instructions and remember your own team and class . Complete whatever instructions are given by the commander," Square Root 3 encouraged . He had to look after the mood of the guild members .

The two of them balanced out each other and the guild members didn't have any complaints .

The Skymane Gorilla was covered in blood and its fur was bright red . Its attack could often one-shot players, but no matter how hard it tried, they simply kept coming .

Five to six tanks simultaneously casted Taunt onto it, so it had no spare time to find more rocks to thorugh .

It had lost its strongest attack tactic and was now no longer a threat .

Within fifteen minutes, the Skymane Gorilla was on low health .

The battle was fast paced, mainly because there were no interruptions . The other guild could only watch this from across the sea .

Since other wild bosses dropped rare materials and exquisite equipment, there was always fighting amongst the players around them . Countless guild competed against each other for an opportunity to fight the Boss; their members couldn't even tell if they had arrived to kill the boss or to kill other players .

There was no one to compete against Ruling Sword, so they had less pressure .

System: Congratulations Ruling Sword . Under the lead of Lu Li, Azure Sea Breeze, Lonesome Flower and March Rain… the Skymane Gorilla has been slain .

The world announcement arrived as expected, and everyone was happy when they saw their own names included .

Even if they couldn't see their own players IDs, the guild name in the announcement was enough to make them proud . Anyone who dared to stand against Ruling Sword was bound to be crushed .

"Alright, let everyone go back . Those who I point out need to stay," Lu Li said, then asked Remnant Dream to collect the equipment .

"Can't we all go in? We're all still in a good mood," Square Root 3 asked with a bit of remorse .

"Those mentioned can go in first . Then, you can instruct others to enter until its full . "

Lu Li wasn't sure how many players were allowed to enter, so he could only make an estimate .

Remnant Dream had already looted the equipment . The best item was a level 45 Dark Gold Shaman hammer .

From the description given by the gaming company, Shamans were the leaders of Azeroth tribes .

They were masters who controlled the elements and could destroy enemies, but also support their team members . With the help of their totems, Shamans were very capable in all aspects of battle .

Shamans were provided with three paths of development . The elemental path was good for magic damage and could provide team members with totems to boost magic Critical Strike . The buff path Shamans were similar to Thieves and fought in close-combat . They could provide their team members with totems to boost Critical Strike . Finally, Rejuvenation Shamans specialized in healing, with both single-target and group healing spells .

Besides these totems, there were other common totems that Shamans of different paths shared and were all useful in different scenarios .

This hammer was suitable for buff Shamans, so Lu Li assigned it to Sakura Memories . The other players received points to make up for this .

This was especially so for the buff Shamans . They were the ones who were impacted the most by this assignment, so they received extra compensation . This was a popular way to sort out these kind of issues amongst everyone .

After all, there were so many buff Shamans in the guild . There would be a huge sum of points involved if they were to compete against each other for the equipment .

Ninety percent of the players didn't have a chance anyway, so now that they had been compensated with points, they didn't worry too much about it . Even if they were to compete for the hammer, Sakura Memories had the most points amongst them anyway .

She was a professional player, and participation in a competitive match would win her a huge sum of points .

There was also a skill book for Bloodlust . It was strange how the boss consistently dropped Shaman items . Sakura Memories had already learnt this skill, so all of the other Shamans were keen for it .

Bloodlust was the signature Ultimate Skill of Shamans . Any Shaman could apply to join an elite group of any major guild once they had learned this skill .

Since this skill book was distributed by the guild, if a guild member wanted it, they would have to sign a contract . If they wanted to leave someday, they would have to compensate for liquidated damages . Whether it was Ruling Sword or other guilds, no one would give such a skill book to an untrustworthy person .

The competition for it was fierce . The skill book was eventually taken by a Shaman from the second elite team who paid a high price .

This chubby fellow's ID was Flying Fish Hater . It seemed like he was popular amongst the players – otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten the skill book so easily . Some players had more points than he did, but for some reason, they all owed him a favor .

Flying Fish Hater was a chubby guy . He hadn't adjusted his appearance when he entered the game, but he was known to be fleet on foot .

He was a Rejuvenation Shaman with decent technique and took the main healer position in the second elite team .

After he acquired the skill book, he immediately followed the other executives of the guild . Even without Lu Li saying anything, Square Root 3 would place him into the team that would later enter the guild's secret zone .

There were another two Gold-grade Warrior equips . One was taken by Moonlight, while the other was taken by Global Friendship .

After they finished the distribution of the loot, Lu Li began to announce the players who were going to enter the secret zone . Everyone waited in excitement; even those who weren't top players had a bit of hope in them .
