Chapter 603: Spies In Drizzle Court
Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations
March Rain’s prompt support saved Azure Sea Breeze’s life when he only had 30% HP remaining.
Wandering, who was responsible for tanking Ruuzlu’s damage, subconsciously cast his damage reduction skills. Although he couldn’t be relied on for everything, he could handle his skill usage well. Otherwise Lu Li wouldn’t have thought about adding him to the group in the first place.
Just like that, the moment where their entire team could have been wiped quickly pa.s.sed. Lu Li didn’t even need to remind them.
Lu Li had become less and less of a prophet for them, but this kind of situation really just required more awareness to avoid.
After it happened the first time, it was unlikely for any party to be wiped by it again.
Ruuzlu was relentlessly being attacked by a group of players. He had 180,000HP but no HP regeneration skills, so it was an easier fight. If it weren’t for Chief Ukorz Sandscalp distracting them, the fight would have probably ended in a few minutes.
Despite this, Ruuzlu was still defeated after 22 minutes.
"I’m exhausted!" Hachi Chan was about to cry.
This time, she had been responsible for the main tank, and had been criticized by Lu Li for the entire fight. Although her progress had been quite significant, she still had the temperament of a little girl.
"Read some strategies when you have time," Lu Li consoled as he patted her head and signaled for March Rain to heal.
The amount of healing that March Rain could produce was terrifying. There were many moments when she had to take care of both tanks alone.
Based on the principle of fairness, everyone would eventually receive the same number of Skill Points. As long as you worked hard, you would eventually be rewarded.
This time, March Rain received even more skill points to put into her healing.
Her equipment was also completely dedicated to this and was better than 99% of other Healers. Her presence on the team was an important factor in allowing them to take so many First Clears.
While communicating the Boss’ strategy to Water Fairy, Lu Li also corrected the minor errors in his team’s positioning.
"Watch out for his cleavers. Memories, stand behind the Boss. Moonlight and Wandering, stand on either side of the Boss and tank the damage."
Drizzle Court had just defeated Witch Doctor Zum’rah, and Lu Li honored his agreement by giving Water Fairy the strategy to the next Boss.
They used text messages, so they wouldn’t affect their teams in clearing the dungeon.
"Seventh Heaven just defeated Antu’sul. How did they do it so quickly?" Water Fairy suddenly said Although he couldn’t hear her, her shock could easily be imagined.
"When did this happen?" Lu Li couldn’t believe it either.
He wasn’t questioning the strength of Seventh Heaven – they had been stuck there for some time. Why would they suddenly progress now, so quickly after Ruling Sword and Drizzle Court had defeated him?
Was there a spy?
The two of them thought of the same thing at the same time.
Both guilds had their core elite groups clearing the dungeons, but there was no reason why there couldn’t be a spy within them.
Water Fairy thought for a while before deciding that it couldn’t be from Drizzle Court and had to be in Ruling Sword.
"Not long ago. Isn’t there someone from your party that used to be in Seventh Heaven?"
Sesame Rice Ball?
"That is absolutely impossible!" Lu Li denied. It wasn’t because he knew for sure, but because he had experienced rebirth. He knew better than anyone else the reason why Sesame Rice Ball had left Seventh Heaven. Sesame Rice Ball and Seventh Heaven had a hostile relations.h.i.+p, right from the very beginning.
As someone who had climbed up from the bottom of society, Lu Li had learned to understand people. How could someone fool him like this?
"Are you saying the problem is on our side?" Water Fairy accused angrily.
Lu Li’s glanced at his teammates and replied categorically, "It’s definitely on your side. Find a way to deal with it."
He didn’t give any hints on how to weed out the spy. She was a tyc.o.o.n, so she wouldn’t need tips like that.
Water Fairy wasn’t eager to accept that someone she trusted had betrayed her, but after thinking about it for a while, she didn’t even need to ask around. She could determine the spy from her teammates’ daily behavior.
Their motive probably wasn’t for the money. After all, the risk was facing the female tyc.o.o.n’s wrath.
Lu Li guessed that it was either for some real-life circ.u.mstance, or for some childish revenge.
When Water Fairy saw how adamant Lu Li was, she finally accepted that the spy was on her side, but she didn’t say anything.
Lu Li had reached a critical moment, but he hadn’t said anything because there was no need to.
They were the only ten people in Ruling Sword that knew of the strategies.
Other than Lu Li, they all owned a part of Ruling Sword and weren’t in need for any money.
Because March Rain was a compet.i.tive player, she and Lonesome Flower had earned millions in the game. Azure Sea Breeze would be loyal to his grave and would never betray him. Wandering was similar to Azure Sea Breeze and would hate to be bribed. Moonlight was also a professional player, while Sakura Memories came from a rich family and didn’t need money. As for the two little girls, they could barely get through the dungeons themselves…
"Pay attention to the Boss’ berserk. Wandering, if Breezy dies, make sure you take aggro," Lu Li reminded quietly.
"Lu Li please, stop jinxing me. I want to live and get the Boss’ EXP too. Dammit, I always take the most damage." Azure Sea Breeze was a little hurt when he heard Lu Li saying that.
Chief Ukorz Sandscalp was already going wild. Ever since his partner had been defeated, he had become more aggressive.
However, the Sandfury Chief had also gone berserk, which added to their predicament. Azure Sea Breeze watched as his HP quickly dropped.
Wandering didn’t want to die either, but he was too lazy to do this again if they got wiped. As such, he reluctantly took the aggro.
In order to reduce the aggro towards themselves, Lu Li used Vanish and Lonesome Flower used Ice s.h.i.+eld. Neither of them could take the aggro while in those forms.
Wandering didn’t last long and soon followed in the footsteps of Azure Sea Breeze.
However, the Boss was almost dead and everyone pushed to finally finish off the battle.
Of course, the two that died didn’t gain any EXP, but that didn’t affect the Skill Point reward. Azure Sea Breeze unexpectedly gained a Skill Point and was suddenly smiling, despite not having gained any Boss EXP.
