The Great Thief

Chapter 1106: Two Tough Choices

Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations

Lu Li already had this recipe, and he had found it in a dungeon run with Water Fairy no less. But of course, as long as he didn’t mention it, no one else would know.

Nobody felt tired from the events at the bar, so they all headed off to the next Boss’ location.

Ambassador Flamelash!

Lu Li watched the Cloth Armor classes who still had clueless expressions on them. He sighed silently at how things were about to change because of a fire ring.

As games gradually grew to become part of daily living, more and more people gave in to obtaining useless things that looked pretty. All you could say to that was if it existed, it probably made some sort of sense.

Ambassador Flamelash was incredibly loyal to Ragnaros, so he came as an important diplomat to the Black Iron tribe.

He originally looked down on his Dwarven allies, but gradually began to respect them for their nature to destroy things. To show his loyalty, he began to take up the responsibility of protecting the Hall of Magic, the place that the Dwarves used to empower their weapons.

The Summoner’s Grave rested behind him. Apparently, the seven Black Iron Dwarf ancestors that summoned Ragnaros rested in the tomb.

“Damn, why are there fire elementals again?”

Azure Sea Breeze looked bitter. He had just switched into his best gear, and now he had to switch back to fire resistance equipment. It was hard for him to adapt to the difference.

“Most of the monsters in the dungeon are fire elementals; just get used to it.”

There were many dungeons after the Blackrock Depths that all included difficult Fire Elemental bosses. Ambassador Flamelash was one of Ragnaros’ close subordinates, so there was no way he would be a pushover.

“What now? Just start?” Azure Sea Breeze asked as he turned his head and gave Lu Li a strange look.

“Start it. What are you looking at me for?” Lu Li responded.

Azure Sea Breeze had a strange feeling that whenever Lu Li didn’t introduce the Boss properly, it was either going to be simple or extremely hard...

He had hoped it was the prior, but reality told him that he was being way to naïve.

Ambassador Flamelash had a vicious looking face with a snake-like body. In one hand, he wielded a long blade that was set ablaze and splashed flames everywhere. In the beginning, the temperature was low, so everyone didn’t feel much. However, after seven inscriptions in the Hall of Magic began flashing and seven Fire Elementals appeared, everyone knew that they were in trouble.

Were they to fight or hide?

Everyone awaited Lu Li’s commands. He hesitated for a bit, but still instructed everyone to kill them.

Of course, this was the wrong move. However, this was how an ordinary player would have thought. These types of summoned monsters that moved towards the Boss either boosted its Attack power, or healed it, so it was only natural to try and take them down.

The first one to make an attempt was Old Man Power, but because he was a melee player, he instantly died when he attacked the Fire Elemental.

“Ranged players, go and give it a shot. Melee players, don’t worry about it.”

Lu Li didn’t hope to pass this Boss in one go; there was nothing wrong in showing his team members how strong it could possibly be.

This time, no one died and two Fire Elementals were slain before they even reached the Boss. As they died, flames spilled onto floor and continued to burn.

The other four little Elementals successfully reached Ambassador Flamelash and were absorbed. After this, Flamelash grew bigger and gained increased Attack damage.

“So we do have to take them down,” Wendelian said, then continued, “I thought we couldn’t attack them at first. It looks like I’m just not good enough to command; I should learn more from Lu Li in the future.”

Lu Li had no comments. He didn’t stop people from taking down the second wave of Fire Elementals either.

With the first attempt successful, they managed to take out even more Fire Elementals from the second wave. This time, only two of them successfully made it to the Boss.

However, this also meant that more flames were left on the floor.

At first, everyone was subconsciously careful not to step near them. Lu Li didn’t specifically instruct them to do this – it was just common sense.

However, as the fire on the floor grew, everyone finally discovered that something was wrong. Why was it that these flames dealt more damage than the Boss? The first one who figured this out was Sea Breaker, but he still died.

After this, more and more of them died – even the healers didn’t survive. The end result was naturally a team wipe.

Ambassador Flamelash never used any ultimate skills. All he did was summon a few Fire Elementals, the type that could be slain with a few hits. Even so, it was enough to wipe out the celebrity team once.

“These summoned monsters – do we kill them or not?” Wendelian asked Lu Li, who was repairing his equipment.

She had originally served in Glory Capital and learned from Sorrowless. Later down the track, she felt like she wouldn’t ever rise to a commanding position, so she left for Gale Legion. Nobody else knew if there were any relationship issues involved.

“Mmm, I don’t know either. Let’s try not killing them this time,” Lu Li suggested, not giving them a clear answer and playing things safe insteads.

There was no need for him to expose himself when he was doing a dungeon run with his competitors. It was essential for someone like him, who had reincarnated, to hide his knowledge.

It didn’t seem right to not kill these Fire Elementals, and some players on the team who had commanding experience began to calculate the result of Ambassador Flamelash absorbing too many. The Fire Elementals refreshed too quickly, and Ambassador Flamelash had a lot of health.

Their expressions darkened after they figured out the results of the calculation.

It was as if they were stuck in a loop – if they killed the Fire Elementals, there would be more fire on the floor, and eventually, they wouldn’t have enough ground to stand on. However, if they didn’t kill the fire elementals, the Boss would continuously grow stronger and still lead to a team wipe.

If Lu Li remembered correctly, Ambassador Flamelash’s Burning Spirit looked something like this:

Burning Spirit: When Burning Spirits enter a one yard radius of Ambassador Flamelash, they will sacrifice themselves, increasing his damage by 5% and size by 5%. Burning Spirit can be stacked up to 50 times.
