<h4>Chapter 1390: The Invincible Boss</h4>
<strong>Trantor: </strong>Exodus Tales <strong>Editor: </strong>Exodus Tales
“The protection rune is destroyed. Brothers, take out these intruders.”
“Mere mortals, die before the son of mes!”
The entrance was shy, and his lines were cool. As the highestmander in Molten Core, Majordomo Executus entered the scene with eight sidekicks. The Bosses before either had two or four sidekicks; none of them were special enough to have eight alone.
“Why can’t we hurt him?”
Azure Sea Breeze was able to ept any damage that the Boss dealt to him, but he couldn’t ept the fact that the Boss didn’t lose a single point of health.
Clearly, this Boss was a little unique and the team quickly came to the conclusion that he could not be in.
“At least the minions aren’t invincible,” Lu Li remarked as he went up to poke at one of the monsters. Fortunately, they still took damage, but their overall attributes were quite high.
Things couldn’t get any worse – this seemingly invincible Boss could hit yers, but they couldn’t retaliate back.
“Too much damage! I can’t take this...”
Wandering felt tired at heart, because he quickly discovered that he couldn’t even tank four monsters. On the other hand, although World’s Best Friend didn’t say anything, Lu Li could see the same situation from his health bar which was going up and down like a rollercoaster.
Three tanks didn’t seem to be enough.
There was no other way; they had to send out other ted sses to make up the number.
Majordomo Executus had eight sidekicks. Four of them were mewalker Doctors and the other four were mewalker Elites. As their names suggested, the first four were healers while the other four were warriors.
Solely focusing on Fire Resistance for their gear wasn’t enough, but even if they were to diversify their attributes, they would still lose the fight. This was because the mewalker Elites would deal fire damage, but the mewalker Doctors weren’t a holy or natural type caster. Instead, their damage was ssed as a shadow-type damage.
It wasn’t rare for Priests to deal shadow damage. Shadow Priests would be more poprter down the track and establish themselves as a proper ss type.
The biggest point of discussion in the next patch would probably be the marriage system. However, in terms of the gaming content itself, the biggest change would be the special effect reduction and the talent system that would be released.
The special effect reduction would impact the way yers geared up, while the talent tree system would impact how yers developed their ystyle.
Warriors would reset their attributes, and would be able to develop into a Defensive talent tree or a Berserker talent tree. Priests would split into a Healer talent tree or a Shadow Priest talent tree. Thieves were split into an agility Thief or a battle Thief.
Pdins had it even better – they could develop to healer Pdins, defence Pdins or holy Pdins. However, the best of all would be the Druids that could develop into healer Druids, bird Druids, bear Druids and cat Druids, among some others that would be of no use besides being cute...
Overall, yers would have to reset their gear and while keeping their Fire Resistance, they would also have to do something about Shadow Resistance too.
Majordomo Executus was invincible, so the yers couldn’t damage him. However, just because he was invincible didn’t mean that he couldn’t hurt the yers. In fact, he even dealt damage at random to targets around him. This meant that the aggression wouldn’t be stable and when the Boss ran around, someone would have to pull him back. The person in charge of tanking the Boss would have to focus, so it was best to have both a main and secondary tank.
Azure Sea Breeze and Wandering were old partners. World’s Best Friend, Moonlight and two other Pdins pulled one mewalker Elite each. As for the four mewalker Doctors, Lu Li assigned four Mages to Polymorph them.
This was necessary, or else the Doctors would heal the others.
“My, what is this!”
The team was caught by surprise; why did the Mages who casted Polymorph turn into sheep themselves?
Seeing Deadly Green Orange turn into a little sheep was a funny scene, but no oneughed because it meant that the mewalker Doctor that she Polymorphed had now been set free. The freed mewalker Doctor immediately healed the mewalker Elite.
It was all for nothing!
Counterspell reflected 50% of all negative spells within a certain radius andsted for 10 seconds.
It was a shameless skill and when a target had this buff on them, anyone that attacked them with a spell would have it casted on themselves instead. This was why Deadly Green Orange turned into a sheep when she used Polymorph on the mewalker Doctor.
“March!” Lu Li called.
March Rain quickly debuffed the magic from Deadly Green Orange. As expected from apetitor, Deadly Green Orange had the quick reflexes to immediately turn the mewalker Doctor back into a sheep as soon as her Polymorph effect had been removed.
“When you guys Polymorph, make sure to check your target’s status bar for Counterspell. Don’t cast anything on it if the status exists,” Lu Li reminded.
“Heal me!” Her Tears called out. He was in charge of tanking a monster, but died right after.
The mewalker Elite that had been freed rushed into the group of ranged ss yers. Because it was slightly further away from the real tanks and normal Pdins didn’t have many taunt skills, a few of them died. In the end, despite finally stabilizing the situation, Lu Li still had to call it quits.
“How did he die?” Lu Li asked the healer who was in charge of healing Her Tears.
Without counting Wandering, who was a Defense pdin, and without Mu Qiu being around today, Her Tears was probably the best-geared Pdin around. It was unexpected for him to die.
The healer yer was still at a loss.
“I didn’t pay attention; he just died very suddenly.”
“I think it reflected my damage onto myself. I happened to cast an ultimate spell and killed myself with it.”
Her Tears had a clear head during the fight, but he couldn’t ept the fact that he died to himself because his damage was too high.
“It’s probably simr to Counterspell, but a shield that reflects damage,” Lu Li said with certainty.
He had heard long ago that Majordomo Executus could buff his minions with two different types of shields. One reflected magic while the other reflected damage. Now, he finally got to see it for himself. He asked again for some further details and reconstructed the battle n. Those that tanked the monsters were to fight without using ultimate spells; they just needed to hold onto the monster. Even someone like Her Tears wouldn’t be able to do much damage in the first ce, even with his ultimate spells.
Meanwhile, the healers needed to focus on their targets.
Lu Li thought for a bit and swapped out one of the damage-dealing Pdins for Deep Watersong, a bear Druid from Drizzle Court. Deep Watersong could be counted as the number one bear tank in Dawn. He could be the secondary tank to help Azure Sea Breeze tank the Boss. That way, Wandering could go and tank one of the mewalker Elites.
Her Tears’ equipment was exquisite, so it was better for him to y as a damage dealer.
After this, he had another Mage join the team, which would make five of them in total. If someone was turned into a sheep and the priests couldn’t react in time to debuff the magic, the spare Mage could Polymorph instead.
Lu Li’s tactics were simple. He wanted to kill two mewalker Elites first, then the four mewalker Doctors. After this, they would turn around to kill the remaining two elites that would be left.
However, before they even took down the first mewalker Elite, they ran into some trouble again.
Majordomo Executus teleported a yer at random into a furnace. The yer that had been teleported was still casting and had no clue that his health bar was rapidly dropping.
“Huh, howe I died? Did you guys see me die.”
How clueless – the victim was thest to figure out that he died.
“The Boss will teleport someone there at random. Pay attention – if you guys find yourselves being teleported, immediately run away,” Lu Li said weakly. It wasn’t realistic to hope that these yers would stay alert to their surrounding while they were fighting the Boss.
There was also anothermon situation for a team wipe.
During phase one, the Boss usually buffed his minions with the two shields. During phase two, he would still buff his minions, but also himself sometimes.
This was very troublesome, because this Boss didn’t really follow the aggression rules.
Sometimes, his aggression would clear out and he would attack other yers at random. At this point, the tank would have to immediately Taunt to start building aggression again.
However, if the Taunt was reflected by Counterspell...
At that time, Azure Sea Breeze was left in shock. There was no harm in him Taunting himself, but he couldn’t build aggro if that happened.
“Deep Watersong, taunt!” Lu Li shouted. He had no choice but to give this instruction; not everyone had reflexes as fast as Azure Sea Breeze. Deep Watersong probably didn’t think that the Boss could reflect taunts either, which exined why he couldn’t react in time.
However, this was enough for the Boss to take out a few yers.
“Let’s take a break; we’re doing well. After all, we got to phase two. Just watch out for the teleports and the shields; it’ll make things easier,” Lu Li announced.
Although they wiped a few times without too much progress, at least they took out one of the minions.
Taking out a minion meant that they still had hope. If they couldn’t even take out one minion, they might as well just give up already.
This Boss was veryplicated. It tested the gear of the yers, as well as their coordination. After all, they were battling against nine opponents this time.
Especially when the main tank couldn’t taunt the Boss, the secondary tank needed to make themselves useful.
Some guides said that bear tanks would find it easier to taunt the Boss in these situations, but Lu Li had noment about this. However, since the best bear tank in Dawn was waiting outside the dungeon as a substitute, why not call him inside?
During their rest time, Lu Li still went fishing with Water Fairy.
No matter how much stress he was under, he would calm down during this moment. This was probably an unexpected surprise..
