Chapter 1864: Elevenless Starting the Show
To kill the final Boss, you needed to kill the three Elite monsters first.
You wouldn’t immediately lose if you didn’t, but the following fight would definitely be a mess.
Azure Sea Breeze pulled it and everyone rushed to deal with the monsters before the Boss made its appearance.
“It is very easy to control those who are weak-willed. My strength is unchanged by time and uncontrolled by fate, and because of that, there is no strength that can match mine. Not even the Burning Legion!”
To Harbinger Skyriss, the Old G.o.ds were no worse than the t.i.tans.
It was generally believed that planets gave birth to t.i.tans, while the Old G.o.ds were tumours that formed on the planets. The two were really not on the same level at all.
“Come on, if we wait any longer there might not be a First Clear to take,” Lu Li urged.
Azure Sea Breeze didn’t say a word and immediately struck the Boss’ feet.
“The time of your demise has come!”
Harbinger Skyriss seemed to have some more proclamations that he didn’t get to finish. When he was interrupted, he suddenly raised his weapon in anger.
This Boss had several powerful skills, but most of them were Spirit attacks.
Spirit Burn dealt 3000 damage to random targets, while Spirit Control would randomly allow the Boss to control the players. Spirit Lash would deal 2000 damage to a random teammate and cause them to fall asleep for 3 seconds. He also had Spirit Fear, which would cause a target to be affected by Fear for 3 seconds…
There was also a clone skill, which allowed the Boss to clone itself. This was used once every two minutes.
Harbinger Skyriss was difficult at first because of the skills that would target several players randomly in combination with the cloning skill. Lu Li’s party was first defeated because Hachi Chan was controlled while the Boss cloned itself.
The difficulty of the Instance Dungeon was later reduced by decreasing the probability that a party’s healer would be controlled. The Boss’ clones would also be weakened, with less HP and Defense.
As a result, Harbinger Skyriss would become one of the weakest Bosses in the game.
However, as it currently stood, he was one of the most powerful Bosses below level 70. He had a Fear, Crowd Control, cloning and a variety of ways to throw the fight into chaos. You had to have impeccable teamwork to defeat him.
Lu Li’s team was fortunate, as the situation that caused them to be defeated the first time didn’t arise again.
Since Hachi Chan hadn’t been crowd-controlled, she managed to cast a continuous HP regeneration skill on everyone to ensure that they would continue to be healed. Although the Boss’ damage was high, it wasn’t enough to one-shot anyone. After the third attempt, they finally cleared this Instance Dungeon.
They received the First Clear announcement and the rewards that came with that.
At this stage, the Instance Dungeon regards were all rather mediocre, but at the very least, Hachi Chan gained a Skill Point.
Lu Li’s had a conflicted expression on his face. Whenever Skill Points were rewarded, he was resigned to the fact that they would more than often not be his. However, when he found out that Hachi Chan had received yet another, it was like salt had been thrown on his wounds. Hachi Chan already had so many – was the System blind?
After completing the Instance Dungeon, they all prepared to fight in the compet.i.tion without a break.
Today’s match was against Wings of Dawn, an old opponent of Ruling Sword. They had faced them in almost everyone compet.i.tion, but it was a little earlier in the rounds this time.
Lu Li didn’t mind letting Wings of Dawn have another taste of defeat in this rematch.
Elevenless’ ability had been overshadowed by Lu Li. When he was fighting Lu Li, he would always die, regardless of whether it was in the Arena or in the Wild.
This was not the first time a major club would fail to enter into the top 100. Many clubs had faced this fate in the past.
Fortunately, none of the outcomes were determined by a single match. The points were calculated after a round of matchups and the top two teams would qualify. This meant that as long as they didn’t lose too many points, it was okay to drop a game or two.
Since there were two super-clubs in this group, the other teams were basically done for.
There were three individual rounds and one team round, but the scoring formula had been altered.
Each of the individual rounds was worth one point. A victory in the team round was worth two points. This meant that there was a total of five points up for grabs in a match, and most professional matches were now held in this format.
Of course, the System was changing all the time, but the key was just to keep all the players informed.
“We should aim to take four points. We can’t let Wings of Dawn get comfortable,” Lu Li said, setting a goal for them to achieve.
“Leave it to me in the first round,” Moonlight volunteered.
“Uh, you don’t have to do this every time. We are fighting Wings of Dawn today and I can’t just pick out three players now.”
Lu Li felt helpless. PVP players like Moonlight were worried that they would beat their opponent without putting on a good show, so he would always ask to go first.
“I would like to go third, if there is an opportunity to,” Mu Qiu requested.
“I would like to go second then!” Fat Monkey cried out.
“What about me?” Lu Li questioned as he glanced at him, rejecting his plea.
“Heh, Monkey, you need a bit more finesse,” Mu Qiu said with a smile. In fact, he knew that with Moonlight and Lu Li playing, there was no chance of a third player to get in anyway.
The map was the large, round arena, and Moonlight stepped in.
Elevenless was standing on the other side. A Warrior mirror-match was undoubtedly the most promising match up. A duel between two Warriors was exciting to watch as it often felt like a real battle.
Other professions like Thieves were too devious, and Paladins were generally not powerful enough. It was only the Warriors and their axes that could satisfy the crowds’ appet.i.te for blood.
“Elevenless is probably afraid to fight you. He has said in the past that Lu Li is like a supernova, and anyone that comes into contact with him will inevitably die. If you fought him in the Wild and died, he would definitely accuse Lu Li of some foul play,” Mu Qiu joked casually.
This guy was bought into Ruling Sword at a low price as his professional career was looking bleak.
However, other than Lu Li himself, no one expected that he would make such a big come back as a Tanky Healer and become the number two Paladin after Green Flag Wine.
“It seems that Elevenless can’t even touch me. Lighty will definitely win this one,” Lu Li said as his raised his chin.
On the stage, Moonlight had about half of his HP and Elevenless had less than 20%. The two Berserkers were continually trading blows, but Elevenless was slowly losing.
“Elevenless, you can do it!”
Elevenless fans had little to do but to keep cheering, even if they were exhausted.
Elevenless was very popular among the fans and was basically treated like a star.
Lu Li sourly thought about how he couldn’t ruin their impression by being the one to kill
him, especially in front of his enthusiastic fans.
“Wait, that’s not right,” Mu Qiu said as he suddenly sat up straight and stared at the two Warriors on stage. “Isn’t Elevenless supposed to be dead by now?”
Lu Li took a closer look, and saw that Moonlight’s HP had started to drop rapidly while Elevenless’ HP began to increase 10% at a time.
