The Great Thief

Chapter 711: Dancing Star Dream

Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations

Lu Li always knew that there was a bounty out for him. In fact, most professional players had some kind of bounty on them.

Some just wanted to know the whereabouts of these players, but other adventurous Mercenaries would look for an opportunity to attack them.

When a group of skills hit him, he barely had enough time to cast Gale Steps.

7%!

He only had 7% HP left. It had been a long time since he had lost that much HP so quickly. If it wasn't for the fact that his equipment had been Strengthened, that wave definitely would have killed him.

Strictly speaking, his use of Gale Steps there was quite bad.

After spending a long time farming, his mind had become a little absent. No one could maintain complete focus under those conditions – research showed that complete focus could only be maintained for 45 minutes at a time. This was why classes were scheduled for that length.

In any case, he was still alive.

All of these skills were used simultaneously and were high-damaging, so it was actually quite surprising that he had managed to survive.

These were then followed by a new wave of skills, which were mainly instant-cast and crowd-control.

However, as Lu Li had case Gale Steps, he had a window of invulnerability. Any skill that hit him was simply cancelled out.

If he was any other average player, he would have thought that he was safe by now.

However, Lu Li wasn't an average player, and he had experienced the tactics of surrounding and searching in his previous life.

As such, he didn't run away. Instead, he rushed at those who had attacked him in the dark jungle and plunged his cold blade into the neck of a professional Warlock.

If a large amount of damage was dealt, a red cloud would released.

This fog masked the fact that Lu Li was making use of Vapirism to increase his HP. That attack caused his HP to increase from 7% to 13%.

It then soared from 13% to 38%... 42%... 50%

The first jump was because of Pamela's Gift, while the second jump was because of his Advanced Health Potion. At the same time, he was still attacking and making use of Vampirism. Lu Li was also still within the timer for the Killing Star's effect.

The Warlock player was quickly killed without any time for him to react.

However, this didn't change the overall situation. Under such heavy pressure, Lu Li had no chance of killing ten players without dying. This was Dawn, not a game where a player could become like God.

Around seven to eight years ago, there was once a game where a tycoon had spent tens of millions to obtain a whole exquisite set of equipment. With a single stroke, he was able to kill tens of thousands of players, but by doing that, he basically broke the game. The game company was also partially at fault for trying to take so much of the tycoon's money.

However, Dawn had a maximum threshold to prevent such a thing from happening.

So far, there were a few players who had Strengthened Equipment and it was clear that they had collected information about him, his equipment and his skills. They understood some things about him and as long as they attacked in groups of three to five, it would be very difficult for Lu Li.

Now, it was time for Lu Li to escape. He didn't know how many players had come to trap him, but he knew that if he could misdirect their attention, he could escape.

He didn't flee blindly because he knew that the Wild Boar area would be full of players by now.

As such, he ran against the expected flow, killing players with lightning speed.

This was not just revenge; this was Lu Li trying make use of Vampirism as well. With all the skills he had used so far, he had already regenerated half of his HP. Even if a skill hit him now, he wouldn't die so easily.

The group of players weren't dumb and would soon realize what was happening.

They quickly dispersed, but while Lu Li was attacking, he stood near a Shaman and casted his damage reduction skills.

Standing next to someone was a very useful and practical trick when fighting large groups. With the exception of skills that were targeted, most of them would either hit the Shaman or miss entirely.

However, this wasn't completely foolproof as teammates couldn't harm each other. They could simply just switch to using area of effect skills.

This tactic had been expected of Lu Li; they hadn't underestimated their enemy.

After using standing near a player for some distance, he then used Wirt's Third Leg's Special Effect to immediately push himself eight yards forwards, leaving all the skills thrown at him behind.

As his HP continued to drop, he quickly found himself at 20% HP again.

He then used his Cloak's special effect and accelerated towards a target. This time, he had chosen a wild pigman. In PVP, there was no reason to limit yourself to other players. Innocent monsters and small animals could be used for escape.

Elevenless had used Charge on a small animal to escape, and it was now a classic Warrior trick.

Lu Li then used Van Cleef's special effect, Sudden Thrust, to instantly approach a target within 8 yards. The Mage who had just entered the fight was unfortunately selected by Lu Li and Stunned immediately.

With a 200% attack buff, Lu Li only needed to attack twice. He didn't even need to go through his rotation of skills.

"Don't go."

A figure suddenly appeared in front of Lu Li as ice emerged on the ground and spread towards his feet to freeze him onto the spot. This was not a normal Frost Nova – it had been expertly casted. The player had to at least be a professional-level Mage.

"Dancing Star Dream!" Lu Li had a good memory and remembered this person's voice.

Moreover, there were only so many guilds that had a bone to pick with him. Once you ruled out a few of them, you could work it out rather easily. This wasn't the Imperial Secret Service, nor was it the Star Moon Guild.

"Who's Dancing Star Dream? I'm obviously Unforgettable Maple."

The masked Mage certainly wouldn't admit it, but he raised his hand to cast Cone of Cold, which dealt damage and slowed.

Vanish!

After breaking out of the ice, Lu Li used Wirt's Third Leg's other special effect and instantly went into Stealth. He appeared behind his target with 80%-increased movement speed.

This was a player who had unexpectedly manage to surprise Lu Li, but he ended up giving Lu Li another chance to escape.

Dancing Star Dream's Blink skill had been used, and the equipment's effect cooldown didn't reset that quickly, so he could only watch as Lu Li ran away. His Water Elemental was nearby, but it couldn't catch Lu Li to freeze him.

"Don't waste your energy – there are hundreds of players in this Wild Boar Forest. Why are you running? Let's talk about it one-on-one," Dancing star Dream said mischievously. It was unclear whether this was a trap or not.
