Chapter 700: Divine Intervention
Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations
Main Tanks generally received bonus payouts because of the tough time they had in Boss battles. Apart from the fact that they were killed all the time, they would usually miss out on the final EXP reward.
Water Fairy seemed to also have damage reduction skills. After the Boss killed Deep Watersong, she took a few hits without dying.
"Die!"
Lu Li's body twisted around as he positioned an Eviscerate on the back of the Boss' head. He didn't know if this was going to be a fatal blow or an ordinary critical hit.
Regardless, Princess Theradras fell after being struck.
System: Congratulations to Deep Watersong, Water Fairy, Hachi Chan and Cain's Left Hand, who under the leadership of Lu Li, have completed Maraudon at Nightmare difficulty.
The moment the System Announcement was made, they all heaved a great sigh of relief.
The first few Bosses in this Instance Dungeon weren't difficult; one could even say they were easy. However, Princess Theradras was on a completely different level. She had high offence and defense, as well as several skills that were very hard to deal with.
Lu Li's team was quite powerful. If they had been replaced with an ordinary team or even a major guild's elite team, all that would have been left at the end was a pile of bodies.
"Stop looking at it and loot it," Lu Li said, interrupting Water Fairy's dazed state.
"You really are heartless," Water Fairy pouted as she turned to the Boss, leaving Lu Li a little confused. After what he did at the end, he still received such a harsh judgment.
"Heartless!" Hachi Chan grimaced at Lu Li and stuck her tongue out.
As for why Lu Li was embarrassed, this little girl had no idea, but as long as they were scolding him it was probably correct. Especially since he called her an idiot all the time.
"It's a good item! I want it!" Water Fairy cried out, holding onto a dagger as she turned to Lu Li.
One moment she was scolding him, and in the next, her heart was suddenly filled with excitement. Lu Li had a good understanding of the fickle emotional changes that women went through. He didn't really need the item, so he nodded and said, "You will need to consult with Cain's Left Hand."
Just because he didn't want it didn't mean that Cain's Left Hand felt the same.
It was unlikely that it was an Epic equip, but it would at least be Dark Gold grade. Otherwise, the female tycoon wouldn't want it so badly.
If Lu Li had guessed correctly, it was probably the Blade of Eternal Darkness. This Dagger boasted a powerful special effect that could steal a portion of the target's HP and use it to form a shield. It was quite similar to the Princess Theradras' absorption of the earth elements.
The Blade of Eternal Darkness was undoubtedly Maraudon's best drop.
He just hoped that Cain's Left Hand was going to be a bit stubborn about it. This was quite a good
equip, but if he was insistent, even Water Fairy wouldn't simply take it from him…
However, what actually happened was nothing like he expected.
He had no idea what Water Fairy said, but Cain's Left Hand gave up the dagger without a fight.
The next item was a pair of Gold Bracers of the Stone Princess which were suitable Warriors. There was also the Broken Jade Heart, which was a heart-shaped amulet with cracks on it.
The attributes were geared towards offence, so neither Hachi Chan or Deep Watersong had any reason to ask for it. This meant that the remaining three players were competing for it.
"This item looks quite nice."
With a single touch, Water Fairy was already obsessed with it.
Some women said that they don't like jewelry, but these were either tomboys or women without any money. There wasn't a single woman who didn't like jewelry; their greed for it exceeded any dragon.
"The attributes are pretty good," Lu Li said indecisively as he rubbed his chin.
Such a beautiful item would also be suitable for his sister. He believed that she would love it.
But in that case, its Attributes would be wasted. The effects mirrored a heartbreak – the first was to belittle and the next was to go insane. The first effect reduced the target's Attack and Armor while the second buffed the user's own attack and Armor. When both effects were activated, there would a difference of 40%.
Although the duration was short, it could be quite effective if used well.
"Okay, I won't be participating Water Sister."
It wasn't clear what Cain's Left Hand was thinking, but he once again gave up on the item. Lu Li gave him an ugly look and resolved to talk to him later.
"I…" Lu Li opened his mouth.
"Lu Li, we're friends, right?" Water Fairy's expression was very gentle. It was quite an unusual gentleness that was very rare for her.
"Why don't you ask me how much money I want?" Lu Li was puzzled.
"I know you don't like that I always pay for things…" Water Fairy had remembered the countless times that Lu Li would always rudely cut her off when she had talked about money.
Talking about money tended to result in hurt feelings, especially if it was between a man and a woman. This was what one of her Drizzle Court girlfriends told her.
"Uh…" Lu Li was speechless.
"Please, what are you trying to do? I've been waiting for you to name a price… How can you suddenly pull this move? I didn't name a price before because I knew that the item you wanted couldn't be bought…" he thought internally.
Now, Water Fairy was appealing to his emotions.
In this case, Lu Li wanted to say that he wanted to be paid for it, but that was too direct. Although the amount of gold she had was heavier than she was, he was still a man.
"Alright, how about I let you have it?"
It was quite difficult for Lu Li to say that because on the one hand, this would mean he could solidify their relationship as good friends, but on the other hand, he would be giving up the rights to compete for it.
The Broken Jade Heart wasn't that suitable for him, nor did it fit his style. He already had Pamela's Gift anyway.
After the three equips were distributed, Water Fairy picked up a skill book – the Paladin's Divine Intervention.
When they used this skill, the Paladin would sacrifice themselves and protect a target teammate from any harm. Nothing could attack the protected teammate, but they also couldn't do anything for 3 minutes.
Finding this book was rather unexpected.
Although it couldn't protect everyone, it was still the most used Paladin skill in professional play.
It was also said that many Paladin players used this skill to get a girlfriend and escape the life of loneliness.
