The Great Thief - Chapter 688

Chapter 688

Lu Li had chosen to go down this middle path because it was the fastest way to Celebras .

Although this Centaur was called the Cursed Celebras, he wasn't a normal Centaur – he was actually a Keeper of the Grove .

In fact, he was the son of Remulos .

After hearing about his uncle's miserable fate, the noble Celebras vowed to save Zaetar's soul . However, this Keeper of the Grove was completely unprepared when he encountered the darkness in Maraudon . Celebras was quickly swept away by the darkness and his heart was filled with uncontrollable anger .

Although Remulos knew what had happened to his son, he didn't save him . This was not because he didn't care, but because he wanted him to gain more experience .

After all, immortal beings like them weren't killed so easily .

"Clear the small monsters first and leave the Boss alone . If we accidentally pull the Boss, don't randomly try to run away," Lu Li instructed, then patted Watersong's shoulder and said, "Stand there and let the Boss kill you . We'll revive you . "

"Oh!" Deep Watersong cried out .

In a game they all so passionately liked, how could they not help a teammate that was in trouble? Shouldn't they do everything they could to not even lose a single member?

Well, perhaps that was a little too far .

In reality, the principles of playing Dawn were quite cold . It was better for one to die than for everyone to die . They wouldn't even lose EXP – it was just a loss of equipment durability . The Main Tank and Scouts had ways of mitigating the effects of death anyway .

Deep Watersong disengaged with Stealth before turning into a bear and pulling a few monsters . The others then rushed forwards to kill them .

After several rounds of clearing out the monsters, Lu Li gave everyone some time to regenerate before telling Deep Watersong to initiate on the Boss . The remaining mobs were left to Water Fairy .

Lu Li and Cain's Left Hand were responsible for attacking the Boss while Hachi Chan was responsible for healing them .

Maraudon only allowed 5-man teams, which was unusual for an Instance Dungeon . In fact, the level 40 Boss only had 120,000 HP which was a surprise for Lu Li .

Water Fairy came over to help them out after she had finished with the mobs .

It was quite difficult for a Defensive Druid to control and maintain aggro , and with these three strong damage output players, Deep Watersong was struggling even more . In addition, Hachi Chan was the team's healer and her equipment was all over the place, so her healing was a little on the low side .

The Boss' Defense was relatively high and it had an effect called Corrupt Force of Nature . This skill protected Celebras in battle and reduced its magic damage taken by 15% .

However, this didn't matter as all three damage output players were Thieves who didn't deal magic damage .

The Boss' damage was also quite high, and it had some tricks up its sleeve . The first was Entangle, which bound its current target and prevented it from moving . It also dealt nature damage to the target once every 15 seconds three times .

After using its crowd-control, it would then use its high-damage single-target skill – Wrath . The Cursed Celebras would shoot an energy arrow at its target, dealing double damage to it .

Although the description said double, the effect was actually more than this .

Cain's Left Hand was hit by it once and lost more than half of his HP bar .

Hachi Chan had to promptly postpone her healing of the Main Tank and focus on Cain's Left Hand .

Although her healing wasn't the best, her jumble of equipment didn't come without its benefits . She didn't need to heal herself as she would receive random bursts of healing, and she also didn't to worry as much about running out of mana .

After a few minutes of fighting, Lu Li discovered that she had she had only lost a quarter of her mana because her mana regeneration was amazing . Sometimes, the dumbest people were the luckiest .

With all that being said, the most difficult part of the Boss fight was dealing with a skill that Water Fairy forced it to cast .

Twisted Tranquility – all targets within a 45-yard radius are cursed by Celebras and take double damage . Their movement speed is reduced by 70% and their attack cooldowns are increased by 300% for 5 seconds .

This really was an overpowered skill . Not only did it deal damage, but it also slowed the movement and attack speed of the players .

After the skill was cast, Water Fairy and Deep Watersong became desperate . Even if Hachi Chan's healing was stronger, her cast rate had been reduced by 300% . How much healing could she really put out?

"Tranquility!" Lu Li shouted .

Hachi Chan immediately cast her Enhanced Tranquility .

The Boss had used Twisted Tranquility which de-buffed the group and dealt damage to them, but Hachi Chan's Tranquility provided them all with rapid healing .

The two effects almost cancelled each other out; their HP bars were neither increasing or decreasing .

After both skills ended, the Boss cried out as it realized that the five players actually still had full HP .

"Wow! Hachi, your skill is too strong! This must be the legendary Tranquility! You've actually learned the strongest skill of the healing profession…" Deep Watersong said excitedly .

Regardless of the fact that Lu Li had called out the name of the skill, a Druid that enjoyed reading was bound to know the Ultimate skills of the different professions .

However, he had actually made a mistake . This wasn't Tranquility – it was the Enhanced Tranquility .

"Little Hachi, come and join our guild . We're all girls here," the female tycoon said, trying to poach Hachi Chan as she attacked the Boss .

Unfortunately, the girl let her down .

"Uh…" Hachi Chan didn't think that someone like Water Fairy would try to poach her and shyly said, "I play with Dreamy, so if she doesn't go, then I don't go . Sorry . "

"That's okay, you can both come," Water Fairy seriously offered .

"That's enough," Lu Li couldn't help but interrupt . "Didn't your teachers in school tell you not to talk to strangers? You can't just follow someone after they've offered you something – shouldn't you reject it?" "But she doesn't want to reject it," Deep Watersong laughed .

Lu Li: …

"Treat Dreamy and I better from now on . Otherwise, we'll be leaving," Hachi Chan vaguely threatened as she waved her hand .

Cursed Celebras didn't have any skills that were stronger than that, and it inevitably lost all of its HP at the hands of Lu Li and the others .
