The Great Thief Chapter 323

The group match began an hour after the single match!Lu Lis motivational words to Moonlight were simple: "It doesnt matter who you are or what happened inthe past youve returned to put everyone under your feet."He then said to March Rain, "Youve practiced long enough. It must be tiring, but this is the day that youvebeen waiting for."Then Lu Li told himself, "Fate gave you a second chance. Theres no need to hold onto grudges from thepast, but youve got to make the best you can out of your life, and this is your chance."He had only reincarnated, so he didnt magically gain the abilities he didnt have in previous life.The lottery sounded like an easy option, but it was incredibly hard for someone to actually remember theprize number for a particular season.He didnt dare to try and change federal events with his future knowledge either; this wasnt something hecould intervene with.He only knew how to play games and he also liked playing games. All he needed to do was to be the best atwhat he could manage.The two teams stood facing each other on the stage. In comparison to the calm expressions of the GloryCapitals team, the team members from the Xin Xin Mercenary Group looked very anxious.Only those who understood the situation knew that they werent as calm as they seemed.To be fair, it was enough for the Xin Xin Mercenary Group to reach this stage. It wouldnt make too much ofa difference if they proceeded further.Although popularity was important, it was crucial that they would be able to process it.Entering the top hundred was enough for a big guild guilds that reached the round of 16 would be famousenough to form their own guild and club.There were pros and cons of becoming the champion.However, for the Glory Capital, this was a different case. They had been the leading guild for many yearsand their pillar of support, Sorrowless, had even stepped forward to lead the team himself. If he lost thechampionship, it would damage both his reputation and his guilds.Glory Capital had been the only leading guild in the Horde Faction of Dawn. As such, there were a countlessnumber of other guilds who were quite unhappy about this.The prosperity of a guild required money, but there were too many rich people in the game. You could tellthis just by looking at those who had recently tried to collaborate with Xin Xin Mercenary Group.If you needed a celebrity contestant, you could hunt for them elsewhere, as long as you made a big enoughoffer and painted a bright future ahead of them.As for people?The last thing the game lacked was people. As long as a figure had prestige, many would flock to their call.The most valuable thing was prestige.If Glory Capital lost, their prestige wouldnt remain unharmed either. Although it still wouldnt affect theirsuperior position in the Horde faction, it would leave some space for the other guilds to advance. From acertain perspective, losing the championship weakened Glory Capital."Who are we killing?" Moonlight asked."The Priest," Lu Li replied.The other duo on the opposing team, Sorrowless and Blood Dagger, were both level 25. They had an entireset of Silver gear and werent easy targets. In his previous battle with Blood Dagger, Lu Li was unable to killhim after two complete rounds of all his skills.Of course, this was also because he had refrained from using Kidney Strike.Only White Westhill, the Priest, was still level 24.It was hard for a Priest to level up; they had to rely on teaming up with others. If it wasnt for LonesomeFlower, a brother who loved his sister dearly, there was no way March Rain would be so high-leveled.No matter how skilled they were, there was no way for a level 24 Priest to make up the difference betweenlevels.Great minds think alike Sorrowless and Blood Dagger aimed straight for March Rain. If they managed tokill the opposing healer, they would be able to outlast their opponent, which also meant that victory wouldbe waving at them.Lu Li even used his cape effect straight away to get close to White Westhill faster.Moonlight didnt charge onwards; he stood in front of March Rain and temporarily stayed to protect her. However, most of his attention was placed on Lu Li. Once he saw an opportunity, he would rush overimmediately.Premeditation, Cheap Shot!Premeditation could be used in Stealth and gave two combo points, while Cheap Shot was a crowd-controlskill.White Westhill retained his composure and activated his badge, dispelling his crowd-controlled state.This was what he relied on to survive. With this badge and Soul Shriek, anyone who tried to kill him firstwould always fall into the trap. Additionally, he also had some damage reduction skills.Lu Li failed to crowd-control White Westhill, but this didnt stop him from dealing insane damage. Hefocused immensely and gave it his all to kill the healer before him.Lu Lis attack was fast, accurate and merciless. He also wore Water Fairys gear which slightly increased hisdamage.White Westhill was forced to constantly position himself, otherwise, Lu Lis skills would have a high-level ofcompletion and would deal massive damage.Premeditation gave him two combo points, Ambush gave another two points and the last point was fromBackstab! That was five combo points in total!White Westhill squinted his eyes and attempted to judge whether Lu Li was going to use BackhandBackstab or Slit Throat. He studied Lu Lis actions carefully and was prepared to use his damage reductionskills at any time.Glory Capital paid a lot of attention to Lu Lis skill set and whether or not he had Kidney Strike. At first, theythought he was hiding it as a trump card, but after some careful analysis and attempts to bait out the skill,they concluded that he didnt have it.The drop rate of Kidney Strike was too low, and there were only a few Kidney Strike skill books in themarket. Most of them were rewards from rare quests; this wasnt a skill that could simply be obtained withmoney.Blood Dagger had only acquired his Kidney Strike in the past few days and it had costed a few hundred goldcoins.The Xin Xin Mercenary Group only had ten people; their income was limited and they werent supported byan organization. Even if they decided to spend the money, there was no guarantee that they could find asource to buy it from.Most importantly, in the past matches, no matter how dangerous the situation was, Lu Li had never usedKidney Strike.White Westhill misjudged the situation and this led to a terrible result. When Lu Lis yellow dagger slicedacross his head from right to left, he realized that they had been tricked.A five-star Kidney Strike this was a 6 second stun.So much could be done during this time.As Lu Li casted Kidney Strike, Moonlight, who had been protecting March Rain, charged over to kill thehealer with him.With two high-level players focusing him down, White Westhill was dead for sure, unless if he had a secondskill or equip to dispel crowd-control effects and turn the situation around.Sorrowless and Blood Dagger exchanged glances and shook their heads. They began to frantically attackMarch Rain; all they could do was to make an exchange.If both parties lost their healers at the same time, the situation would possibly turn around.Under the circumstance that there were no healers, a combination of Thief and Mage had a greater chanceof victory against a combination of Thief and Warrior. Sorrowless had faith in himself.White Westhill died first, but March Rain barely had any health left either she was playing against two ofthe best players.Blood Dagger casted a Kidney Strike on March Rain. It was almost impossible for her to wake up before herhealth bar was emptied.While Sorrowless attacked, he even had the spare energy to direct his Water Elemental. His WaterElemental stretched out its hand and as White Westhill fell to the ground, a layer of frost appeared aroundhis body.Lu Li and Moonlight were both frozen, while March Rains end had come. Whether it be the four analysts orthe audience below the stage, everyone thought that an exchange was going to be made.Not only would March Rain be dead, Moonlight and Lu Li were also in a dangerous situation.
