The Great Thief

Translator: Halcyon Translations  Editor: Halcyon Translations

After the Forbidden Book was taken, the secret area began to collapse.

Lu Li and Water fairy managed to return to the city at the last moment. Water Fairy was quite puzzled by Lu Li’s risky behaviour but after she read the item’s attributes, both their eyes lit up.

There was no need to say what she was thinking.

However, Lu Li refused to give it to her. This item mainly provided Intelligence, so it wasn’t suitable for Thieves. Moreover, it was best to not expect much when using the skill.

Lu Li had no idea that his behaviour was not helping his image of being forever alone. Fortunately, Water Fairy wasn’t the type of girl to get angry these little things. If he didn’t want to sell it, then she wouldn’t push it. She was still happy to go levelling with him.

The players waiting at the Mage Tower were shocked at what was happening.

When the system broadcasted the First Clear acquired by Ruling Sword, they were waiting for them to come out. They had been waiting for so long that everyone was now making fun of them.

Had they been swallowed up by the secret area?

They didn’t know who had brought Heart of War’s team to Ruling Sword, where they were wiped by Fat Monkey and some other players.

Heart of War started feeling light-headed and fainted. The System saw that this had happened, so it logged him out of the game. The rest of the players looked at each other and eventually left as well. In the end, it was a complete mess and the guilds that didn’t send anyone to stop Ruling Sword were glad that they didn’t.

However, every guild was now carefully paying attention to one single thing.

Was Ruling Sword going to keep clearing Bosses, or were they finally done?

If they continued to clear Bosses, what would they all do? They couldn’t just allow Ruling Sword to continue as they please. Although Heart of War sounded pompous before, there was some truth to his words.

Dawn gave everyone the chance to make it big, and no one wanted Ruling Sword to ruin the game.

This tension lasted for quite some time until there was definite news that the players of the Ruling Sword elite group were now just levelling. Their Boss-clearing activity had come to an end, and some players saw Lu Li and Water Fairy levelling together. This allowed everyone to finally relax and let go of their concerns.

Lu Li and Water fairy had chosen to kill some elite monsters. These Ogres that were active around the Dreadmaul Stronghold gave quite a bit of EXP. Although they had high HP, this wasn’t something that two Thieves couldn’t deal with given their damage and crowd-control.

Of course, Lu Li remembered that there was one important thing that he hadn’t done.

Even if he forgot, the 400 players who had participated in the battle wouldn’t. There was no way that Remnant Dream would take the Boss drops for herself, not that she would have the courage to run away with the rewards anyway.

There were two Synthetic stones. One of them increased critical hit while the other increased hit accuracy. These were given to Fat Monkey and Kitty Likes Meat respectively.

There were seven Strengthening Stones which would be temporarily held by Lu Li.

A Mage Skill Book was given to Lonesome Flower. This skill book was only available for Ice mages and wasn’t suitable for PVP.

In terms of eye-catching equipment, there were six Gold items dropped. All of these were taken to be used as compensation for the Main Tanks that died so often. Besides, there was no elite player that wanted this equipment and they could buy it from those players if they really wanted to.

However, the four pieces of Dark Gold equipment couldn’t be distributed in the same way.

Not only was there was there a demand, but the price was also very high. After all, not everyone could afford Epic equipment. The Dark Gold items dropped by this Boss were not that much worse than the Dark Gold items from an Instance Dungeon.

The Attributes of the Epic equipment were particularly attention-grabbing. Lu Li couldn’t help but read them when Remnant Dream sent the information to him.

If it weren’t for Water Fairy’s presence, Lu Li would have been beaten into a pulp by the Ogre near him.

The first Epic equipment was a magic shoe. Its Attributes weren’t too bad, and its only flaw was that it had a special effect that PVP players couldn’t use. However, if you assigned this equipment to a PVE player, then the first two special effects would be wasted.

This type of equipment would become more common in the future, and deciding how they should be assigned would become more difficult.

The second Epic equipment was a Leather Armor, but it wasn’t suitable for Lu Li. It had a special effect that added to the user’s Strength for a short period of time, and the probability of triggering this effect was also affected by the user’s Strength stat. Only combat Thieves could properly use this equipment.

Since Lu Li didn’t need it, the other Thieves in the Elite Group were given a chance to claim it.

For a while, the Thieves that could use it launched into a fierce argument.

In the end, the piece of equipment was given to a low-profile player who had amassed quite a higher number of points. This Thief, who was just over level 56, had almost entirely relied on doing guild quests to level himself.

These guild quests didn’t refer to quests issued by the guild.

There were some quests in Dawn that were tagged as ‘guild’. The rewards for these quests always included a certain amount of guild EXP. The guild upgrade depended on this EXP, so guilds would often offer guild points to encourage players to complete these quests.

As the reward for these quests included guild EXP, the player themselves received less EXP. As such, the average player never usually bothered with these.

Dark Moon had quite a lot of guild points and he was willing to spend them, so he won the Epic leather armor in one fell swoop. Upon wearing this equipment, his strength was increased by 20%. After all, he had been grinding points, so he never really got a chance to find equipment.

The third item was a one-handed hammer. Although the shape was a little ugly, its Attributes definitely did not reflect this. The bonus Attributes were enough to make the players drool and the three combined special effects made this an exquisite item.

Not only was the last special effect very strong, but it also had a cool name. Its effect was even better than the one on Felstriker, which was equipped by Lu Li. It damaged all units within eight yards of the user by slamming the ground, and it also knocked up all damaged units.

It was a single effect that dealt damage and applied crowd-control. This could be very effective if used in a key moment.

This hammer wasn’t difficult to assign because it was clearly dedicated for Shamans.

Sakura Memories excitedly hugged the scared remnant Dream. She hadn’t seen Sakura Memories for the past few days, and it was like suddenly seeing an insane woman or pervert.

And so, Ruling Sword’s clearance of the three Wild Bosses had come to an end. They had managed to defeat all of these Bosses in one go, so the Talismans could be used again. However, they needed so wait for the Bosses to respawn, so if they wanted to fight them again, they would have to wait until next week.
