The Great Thief

Chapter 1675 - Viscidus



Chapter 1675: Viscidus

Similar to what Hachi Chan said, the reward from the third round were three bottles of potions from a choice of nine. Apart from the Ice coated weapons that they already knew about, there were also Fire coated weapons and Poison coated weapons. There was basically no difference in quality between these three types of potions; They all had the same damage rate of five points of damage. Five points of damage!

“I choose the Ice coated weapons, all three bottles,” Lu Li decided with certainty.

“Sure, now you have to help me.” Blacksmith Stack threw the potions over to Lu Li. He didn’t think twice about sending rubbish for the poor and hardworking kid who was helping him.

“Sorry, Mr. Stack, I think I can only help you up to this point, I still have important things to do. If you have any more orders, I’ll come back to help you later,” Lu Li apologised, firmly declining the rest of quest.

No matter what reward there was, it still wasn’t as important as a First Clear. Stack was speechless.

What made him even more speechless was still to come. He actually had an unset link of quests here. There were seven links in total, and after the seven links, the reward was a piece of Dark Gold equipment. For normal players, this was actually a generous prize for a quest that was rare to find at level 60.

What you got and what you gave out were usually equal. Getting cursed by him a few times and getting a piece of Dark Gold armor meant it was all pretty balanced.

However, it turned out that none of the people who came to do the quest today made it to the fourth link. All of them chose the Ice weapon coating then left.

“You’re all just jumping ship halfway!”

All 40 players got the three bottles of Ice weapon coating. At least this way, the opening would take three hours. If they couldn’t defeat the Boss by then, Lu Li could send people to go and do this quest.

By that time, if you wanted to finish up the quest, it wouldn’t be easy.

“Now, the biggest problem has been solved, hope everyone works hard and aims to finish off this Boss after using these potions. The other clubs aren’t far behind us. We’re not afraid of the likely outcome, but we’re afraid of what might happen. If they do happen to get a boost in progress, then there’s a chance the First Clear might not be ours. Think about the First Clear reward,” Lu LI motivated them before the battle.

Let’s not talk about what Glory focused on. Simply the reward from the First Clear would make everyone lose sight of everything else. Azure Sea Breeze took the lead, rushing towards the Boss with a thunderous roar.

With the experience from the last few attempts, Viscidus’s HP was quickly taken down to 80%. After this, they relied on Freeze attacks.

Although they couldn’t change their Dawn equipment in the middle of a battle, weapons weren’t included as part of equipment. They could change weapons during the battle, so everyone’s Ice weapon coating wasn’t coated on their main weapon. For example, Lu Li took out a super-fast dagger. Working together with the Shard of the Defiler, it increased his attack speed. They could only have more chance to activate the Ice attack’s special effects when the attack speed was faster.

Other people were also similar. With regards to the five points of extra damage, no one could use that as an effective output. Lu Li felt even more awkward at this time. Those who were lucky would have their Ice weapon coating activate at the rate of once every three or five attacks, and those who were particularly unlucky, like Lu Li, would only get one ice attack activated out of every ten or so.

No matter what, with everyone being able to dish out Ice damage at the moment, it was much faster than when there was only Ice magic.

When the 255 Ice attacks were finished, Viscidus turned into little water drops. These little water drops didn’t have high health individually, but they definitely weren’t weak. The defense roles and healers still needed to carry out their responsibilities.

“Attack with all your might,” Lu Li shouted loudly.

They needed to defeat a certain number of little water drops to ensure the Boss wouldn’t recover HP. Otherwise, all of the fighting before was pointless. If the Boss recovered HP, even though it was only 1%, it still meant that after the Boss split and came together again, it would have 81% health. So after defeating 1% of the Boss’ HP, they had to go through the split stage at 80% again. This Boss really tested everyone’s damage output.

If everyone used Ice, then maybe the 255 attacks would be really easy. However, at this stage, it was really a shame for them. These little water drops were all really strong against Ice. Ice mages basically couldn’t have any effect. Evidently, Lu Li and his team. didn’t have a problem with their damage output.

They got rid of a lot of water drops, and when the Boss reverted back to its original shape its HP was exactly 80%. And with another barrage of damage skills, his HP was quickly brought down by another 1%. The first splitting up stage was over.

The rest of the battle was actually a repeat of the first split stage. If there was no problem with the first stage, and there weren’t any large-scale deaths, there basically wouldn’t be any problems. After the battle continued for about 15 minutes, the Boss entered a berserk state. By this stage, there was no more splitting, but in the berserk stage, the Boss was really fierce. If one of the healers were careless, it would result in the team dying. The good position the team had might all fall apart in just a moment. Lu Li was filled with determination. For the first attempt, they didn’t die at the hardest place, but they died when the last Boss had only 3% HP left. Healers were precious. Most clubs tried not to deduct their points when they didn’t have to, but Ruling Sword wasn’t a normal club. Lu Li didn’t feel bad at all deducting their DKP. The second time, everyone was more careful. With the addition of knowledge gained from having defeated the split stage before, they got through to the berserk stage again with no problem.

This time, Azure Sea Breeze had room to maneuver, and just at the right time, he opened up the Strengthened Shield Wall. The weak berserk couldn’t break through his defenses, and he could do nothing but get his head chopped off then and there. In the end, he turned into a green puddle of watery mud.

After this, there was just a thing that looked like a treasure chest.

This was the reward from the battle!

There was one Skill Point, which was taken by Water Fairy. Water Fairy wasn’t considered too lucky. She was often complained about being a manipulator, but compared to a real manipulating team leader, she was quite kind.

No Strengthening Skills Book came out. Three pieces of Epic equipment were dropped. The defensive one was taken by Wandering, and the physical attack equipment was taken by Bearded Zaza. Another healer’s plate armour was taken by Darkness with the lowest points. There was no doubt that this Boss had been First Cleared.
