"Are we going to bid for that too?" Kitty Likes Meat asked as her eyes lit up.

Although she was already using a Gold grade Staff, it was only level 30. Compared to the rest of her items, which were all Lv40, her weapon was severely lacking. The special effects on it were quite useless as well.

"You really are spoilt by your dad. Everyone, type out the stats on your weapon," Lu Li said.

Every player that could equip the magical sword sent out their current weapon stats. Nuo Yu had a level 40 Dark Gold Staff, while Mu Fish had a level 40 Gold Staff. Almost every item was higher quality than Kitty's and she was almost drooling at the sight of them.

"It's not like we're a gold hunting party; we don't have to bid for every item. Boss, just give the weapon to Kitty. She paid too much for the previous piece anyways," Nuo Yu laughed.

Lu Li nodded and gave her the weapon.

"I have a spare Offhand piece that I stole from Fat Monkey from the last Instance Dungeon. You can have it," Nuo Yu offered.

Ruling Sword. currently had three expert dungeon parties. The first was the Xin Xin Mercenary group, who had completed many First Clears under the leadership of Lu Li. The second was a team of Fire Mages called the 'Five Fireball Gods', and were led by Fat Monkey. The last team was a newer team led by Ruling Sword's second Main Tank, World's Best Friend. All of these teams only attempted instance dungeons on Nightmare mode.

These parties had strategies and guides passed down from the Xin Xin Mercenary group. Since they often attempted difficult dungeons, their equips were obviously superior to everyone else's. They were constantly updating their gear from the drops, while their spares were passed down to other players or placed in the Guild Storage.

Even though it had been passed down, the Offhand was still a Gold Equip with strong stats. It was one of Nuo Yu's most prized possessions.

"Instance Dungeons are so much fun, but my Dad and I don't dungeon much because we don't have a guild. That's why most of my equips were bought from the Exchange Hall," Kitty Likes Meat explained. She was very pleased with her new equips.

"We're still missing players in my party. You should consider joining," Machine Bro invited.

Machine Bro was in the same party as World's Best Friend. Their team consisted of three Thieves, which was not the best class for dungeons, so they had been wanting to recruit a Mage or Warlock for a while.

Kitty Likes Meat's mechanics were more than good enough for PVE.

Many players excelled in PVE but not PVP, such as Lonesome Flower and Sesame Rice Ball. However, most top PVP players could transition to PVE rather easily; Moonlight was a great example.

"Goddamn, they spawned again," Azure Sea Breeze sighed.

"Don't charge in yet. Are you stupid?" Lu Li yelled as he held Azure back. In reality, no one else had noticed anything wrong.

"What?" Azure Sea Breeze said defensively.

"Do you not see the names above those two dragons?" Lu Li asked as he pointed up towards the two sneaky dragons in the hall who were trying their hardest not to be seen.

"Eh, they really do have names! I'm going to make them my pet," Remnant Dream squealed excitedly, about to charge towards them with her whip.

She had unexpectedly obtained this whip while completing a quest with Hachi Chan. It had a special effect that increased her chances of capturing pets.

"This is a boss; you can't capture bosses. Get your ass back here," Lu Li commanded as he pulled on her shirt and dragged her back.

"Trying to fool me by blending in with other monsters, huh?"

Azure Sea Breeze was angry, but he did not act irrationally and charge towards them. There was definitely a hidden trap; the game developers would not let them off so easily.

"The left dragon deals physical damage; look at how sharp his claws are. The right dragon, however, has a magical aura surrounding it, so it must deal magical damage. If you had charged in recklessly, you would have been killed for sure," Lu Li explained, taking this opportunity to educate the best Main Tank in Dawn.

After being lectured, Azure Sea Breeze was impressed with Lu Li's observations. He never would have noticed the sharp claws. As for the magical aura, he didn't even know what it was until Lu Li pointed it out.

Obviously Azure Sea Breeze's task was to tank the physical damage dealing dragon. Since it was only Elite difficulty, anyone on the team could tank the magic damage dealing dragon with their equipment.

However, before fighting the two Bosses, they had to clear the other mobs in the hall.

The problem was that they shared aggro with the mobs; the two dragons were able to control the mobs to attack. Because of this, the difficulty of this fight was greatly increased.

The outcome of this fight would depend on their teamwork and chemistry.

Surviving was their first priority, followed by clearing the mobs as quickly as possible. Otherwise, their team could easily be wiped.

Everything was going quite well. Although he did not have his usual team members from the Xin Xin Mercenary group, each and every one of the players that had come today were PVE experts.

"Try to kill the two dragons at the same time," Lu Li instructed.

"Why?" Azure Sea Breeze asked.

"From today onwards, whenever there are two bosses, try to kill them simultaneously," Lu Li said, speaking from experience.

"45% HP left on mine," Azure Sea Breeze reported.

"27% HP left on this one."

Nuo Yu was in charge of tanking the magic dragon. Since it had lower physical Defense, Lu Li and Drifting Rain were able to melt through its HP.

"Ranged classes, focus on the dragon that Azure Sea Breeze is tanking," Lu Li commanded.

With Lu Li's careful micromanagement of DPS, the HP of the two bosses began dropping at around the same rate. These dragons did not have annoying skills to deal with and they both had under 100,000 HP, which meant that they could end this fight within 10 or so minutes.

"AH!" someone screamed.

"What's wrong?" Lu Li asked as he stopped what he was doing and looked in the direction of the scream.

"That sounded like Mu Fish's voice. Eh, where is he?" Machine Bro was confused as to how someone could just randomly disappear. If he was killed by the Boss, there would at least be a body on the ground.

"Crap, he must've fell down," Lu Li said as he ran towards the center of the hall.

There was an underground sewerage system that was usually covered by a lid. However, the lid had disappeared, so Mu Fish must have fell from there.

Lu Li looked at his name on the party interface and saw that it was greyed out. The poor guy must have fallen to his death.

However, because was out of range, he could not Resurrect him.
