The Great Thief

Chapter 1812: Forgive Her

Some said that Razorsaw was a Mo’arg Engineer that was so keen on transforming things into Mecha form that he didn’t even stop at their own bodies.

Some even thought that Fel Reavers were made up of one or more Mo’arg Engineers, that they were not just merely mechanical units.

Then there were the Gan’arg Servants.

As low-cost technicians of the legion, these Dwarf Mo’args were a very intelligent species. Because of their disregard of normal conventions, they were willing to experiment with new, underdeveloped technologies.

“We’re here and we see the monster. Are we in the movie Saw?”

Cain’s left Hand had experienced all sorts to hardship just to get to the raging Razorsaw.

“What is Saw?”

“It’s an old movie. Boss, you should go see it. Bring your girlfriend too, and you might be pleasantly surprised.”

“I’ve already seen it,” the somewhat humiliated Water Fairy called out.

“Same. Boss you can pretend to be very scared and ask her for comfort,” Cain’s Left Hand smirked.

Lu Li reprimanded the shameless Cain’s Left Hand but simultaneously felt like he had a point. He decided to find a movie like Saw to watch with Water Fairy in future. Obviously, he didn’t have any ulterior motives – he just wanted to study the great art of film.

After everyone was in place, Watersong began pulling the monsters. Everyone had to ensure that they built up enough aggro, otherwise, they would easily lose the Boss’ aggro.

“This monster is really strong,” Deep Watersong commented. In fact, the Boss of this level 70 map was very powerful, and even its basic attacks were a lot higher than what they had experienced. Moreover, Druids were not the best profession for physical defence.

As such, if they fought by conventional methods, they wouldn’t be able to defeat the Boss no matter what. Even the Druid’s healing wasn’t doing much to help them.

The Boss had many skills, but there were two main ones. The first was Slime Spray and the other was Saw Blade.

Slime Spray was an area of effect skill that had a chance of applying a blinding effect.

Saw Blade was a single target high damage skill that had a chance of applying Hemorrhage.

Even after losing a dozen Thieves, the Boss’ HP barely dropped below 90%.

Even so, this was enough for everyone to have generated enough aggro.

“Let’s do this!” Lu Li yelled out as he rushed towards the raging Razorsaw.

However, he didn’t have a death wish. After giving the command, he immediately escaped the attack range of the Boss.

According to his plan, everyone was to flee the area that was about to be bombed. They would leave only two Thieves to attract the Boss’ aggro. They chose to leave two instead of one to lower the chance of mistakes. In the unlikely event that the Thief was killed, then the Boss would lose aggro and the plan would completely fail.

After Lu Li issued the warning and fled, a bomb exploded behind him which burned the two Thieves that had stayed behind. They had taken no small amount of damage.

One of the Thieves that was blasted was immediately killed. It was inconceivable how terrifying the damage from the explosion was. Some of the Thieves didn’t time their escape skills correctly and had to use their special effects just to escape unscathed.

The Gryphon-riding Paladin in the air couldn’t see what was happening on the ground. They could only see the red smoke from the signal flare, which was where they dropped the bomb. They had no idea whether there actually was a monster where they had dropped the bombs. In fact, even if they could see, Lu Li had told them not to drop the bombs without an order.

This was especially the case as Razorsaw was an engineer, so killing him was far more valuable than killing the servants.

There was one bomb, and then another. With the heavy fire support of the Gryphon Paladins, Razorsaw’s HP was dropping. If there were no other incidents, Lu Li’s strategy was going to work.

“Left Hand, how dare you? You dare use my girl as one of the players to take aggro?” Lu Li asked incredulously as he noticed that one of two Thieves that ran forward was Water Fairy.

“Lu Li, shut up,” Water Fairy said. She just couldn’t bear it.

How could a man be so naïve? Everyone was the same, so why couldn’t she take the aggro? She guaranteed that she was better than any other Thief here. After all, she was a professional, and although she wasn’t Dawn’s number one Thief, she was unrivalled among the other women and was actually among the top eight Thieves. Water Fairy definitely wasn’t just a pretty face.

“I know, I know, I’ll stop.”

Lu Li passed by the monster and snuck up to the next bombing site.

“Hey, I don’t want to play anymore. I’ll just afk,”Cain’s Left Hand said as he shook his head weakly. He felt like he had to be losing his grip on the Thief profession. There was no other reason why he was feeling so incompetent.

On the one hand, he was being abused by the Boss and on the other he was being abused by this couple… he just couldn’t take it anymore.

The number of monsters in the Forge Camp gradually decreased, which meant that it was becoming safer to fight the Boss. The Gryphon Paladins above didn’t understand why Lu Li was still putting down signals after such a long session of bombing. Fortunately, they had acquired a new Goblin invention, which had a small size yet great power. It allowed them to hold more bombs, their supply still wasn’t unlimited. There were already several Gryphon Paladins that had finished throwing their bombs and were returning.

“Get ready for battle. How long will it be before the next group of people arrive?” Lu Li asked, after looking up and seeing that they had to face the Boss alone.

Lu Li was a cautious person. He had called the first group of people ahead because they were all Thieves and Druids that could enter Stealth. The second group of people had to travel more slowly as they had to fight their way through.

There were 200 players with Warriors and Paladins fighting at the front. The Mages and Warlocks were providing firepower from the back while the Hunters and Thieves scouting ahead. When a powerful monster was approaching, they would generally avoid that path.

With such a big movement, there was no way the other clubs were oblivious to it. However, any response would take time, and Lu Li still had plenty of it. Moreover, Hachi Chan had already begun giving out the talisman quests, so there were many people surrounding her and none of them were willing to leave the Stair of Destiny.
