The Great Thief Chapter 526

Lu Li could feel cold sweat running down his back. This was a single players quest? He was certain that his defense was no better that that level 38 Night Watchmans. He felt like the hostess had really played him this time. Was this revenge for sharing the Assassin League with Water Fairy? He wondered what quest Water Fairy had received. Hopefully, she would be able to complete it. MorLadim was level 40 with 500,000 health points and also had an Evil Ring! Evil Ring buffs movement speed and health regeneration. This had no effect on the players, but it was useful for the Boss. Most bosses with this effect were very hard to deal with. Bosses who didnt summon side-kicks usually came with more health than those that did. However, it was rare for them to have this much health. Even the level 45 Pirate Captain only had 350,000 HP. Lu Li wanted to turn back and kill the hostess. To be fair, he still underestimated the seriousness of his actions. Ravenholdt Manor was a secretive association whose members were scattered around the entire continent. Most of the outer members didnt even know who they were working for, and it was all because of their strict policies. After the hostess took in two players consecutively, the executives had begun to pay extra attention to them. There were only ten spots available for all players throughout the entire continent. There were up to a hundred quests in different locations that a player could trigger to join the small faction, and yet, the hostess had two in a row. From the moment the hostess saw Lu Li and Water Fairy together, the quest had immediately been upgraded to Nightmare mode. It had nothing to do with the hostess. While Lu Li raged, Altheas sword had already sliced into MorLadims back, dealing around 800 damage. Her sword was slimmer than the average Paladins, but her damage wasnt any weaker. It was hard to imagine that the commander had such strong combat skills. Lu Li went into Stealth and snuck beside MorLadim. As MorLadim turned, Lu Lis dagger dug into his spine. Cheap Shot had no effect, while Lu Lis Ambush only dealt around 100 points of damage. The five-level difference wasnt too much; 100 damage meant that this was a Boss that Lu Li could deal with. The other level 35 elites did even less damage compared to Lu Li. MorLadim fought Althea head-on without fear. In terms of strength, Althea was much weaker than MorLadim. As for health points Lu Li scanned her and was disappointed to discover that Althea only had around 250,000 HP. However, she had a pack of subordinates to support her. These subordinates were all elite models and two of her best men were semi-bosses. They were well-coordinated in their fighting and kept up with the pace of the battle. The main damage dealers were the level 40 Althea and the level 38 elite Night Watchmen. As long as the level difference wasnt greater than three, there would no damage reduction. The level 38 elites dealt slightly more damage than Lu Li. However, Lu Li had skills. When his combo points reached five, he waved his arm and drove his dagger hard into MorLadims back. Not only did he deal more than 200 damage, but he also applied a short paralysis effect. Ambush was an average skill, so even with a high completion level, it wouldnt apply any special effects onto the Boss. However, Backhand Backstab was a different story. With a high completion level, there was a chance that the skill would paralyze a Boss for a short amount of time. The boss paused slightly and turned around to slice his sword down. Lu Li felt like this slice would be enough to destroy him, so he dropped to the floor without any hesitation and escaped from the attack range of the Boss. MorLadim didnt pursue; he was still focused on Althea. As he turned around to hack at Lu Li, Althea had already stabbed him a few times. "I... What have I done wrong... Why... Why... Did I end up like this?" the deceased whispered to himself. Everyone could feel his rage and helplessness. As they were distracted by his question, MorLadim stomped his foot. Black flames rose from the ground as everyone received burning and corruption damage. Two Night Watchmen, who were at low health, immediately lost their lives. "Die!" Althea saw the death of her subordinates and her eyes flashed red. She jumped and aimed straight for MorLadims head from above. Her blades drove into his helmet, dealing massive damage and also applying an additional stun.Everyone tried to deal as much damage as they could while those who were injured were brought to the side for bandaging. MorLadims high damage left everyone in danger of losing their lives at any moment. Lu Li had also lost around half his health. However, he could drink potions and he wasnt the main target of the boss, so his health was bound to recover at some point. The Evil Ring was a strong effect indeed; MorLadim moved fast like the wind. Just his speed alone was enough to cause great trouble for the Night Watchmen, not to mention the health regeneration. Lu Li felt like the boss healed himself more than the damage that he dealt. "Everyone watch out. Prepare to block," Althea warned. Lu Li used his damage reduction skill. At the same time, everyone saw MorLadim raise his giant sword over two seconds. Countless soldier illusions ran out from behind him in the formation of a fan. These soldiers ran across the entire battleground, and all those who touched them took a great amount of damage. Fortunately, the boss himself didnt move; he stood on the spot as casted this skill. Despite this, three Night Watchmen still lost their battle ability, and their team members quickly carried them out of the fight. Lu Li used his damage reduction skill and focused intensely on dealing damage to the MorLadim. As a level 35 expert player, his strength impressed Althea once again. To be fair, poison also played a large role in Lu Lis DPS. The poisons that Thieves used were classed under Alchemy. Lu Lis poisons were all Advanced level; he had a speed buff on his left and critical booster on the right. Sesame Rice Ball had specifically gone around to collect these recipes and had made a few spares for Lu Li. Of course, he still wasnt comparable to Althea. Althea had already lost her cool; she was battling with MorLadim without much care for her own life. The Night Watchmen werent players, so once they died, they would disappear forever. Emotionally, she couldnt handle the death of the subordinates who followed her. Althea didnt bother to dodge MorLadims strikes, provided that they wouldnt be fatal. She focused on attacking, as if she wanted to kill him right on the spot. When MorLadims health dropped to half, Althea had less than 50,000 health! Was the commander going to die? Lu Li was really panicking this time.
