The Great Thief Chapter 717: Desolation

How could the attacks from Ruling Sword be so strong!

"Lu Li, are you still a human? Why are you in such a rush?"

Dancing Star Dream realized who his enemy was in an instant. He was surprised and angry, the revenge came too soon.

When the fight broke out, the Gangnam Royals were already at a disadvantage – a good sum of them had died.

However, being elite players, it didn't take them long to readjust to the situation. In the end, it wasn't a one-sided battle.

"Move!" Dancing Star Dream shouted as he pushed aside a Thief who was in his way and casted a Blizzard towards Nuo Yu and the others.

The fight was messy, so he didn't dare to flash into the crowd. Celebrity players valued their lives and experience bars more than others.

With the equipment that Dancing Star Dream was wearing, his Blizzard dealt more damage than a Frost Bolt from an average Mage player. Lonesome Flower was probably the only one who could match up against his standards.

Two players instantly died from Ruling Sword because they were already on low health from the fight.

"Alright, that's it. I'm returning the favor back to you."

Lu Li suddenly appeared behind him, but unfortunately, Dancing Star Dream couldn't move because he had already been stunned by Cheap Shot.

How could a Cheap Shot land on him so easily? What happened to his high Detection? He even had two Thieves who remained beside him at all times.

However, those two Thieves had already disappeared.

The one who stunned Dancing Star Dream was Cain's Left hand. His equipment enabled him to sneak closer to Dancing Star Dream without being noticed. Lu Li was responsible for the other two Thieves.

One of them was low on health while the other was only at half-health, so it was hard for them to do anything.

"****, come protect me!" Dancing Star Dream called loudly. He knew that the situation wasn't right; his opponents had definitely planned this move.

At the same moment, he used his badge in an attempt to remove the Stun, but another Cheap Shot instantly followed. He didn't even have a chance to flash.

Lu Li had been waiting for him to use the badge.

Was this enough to control Dancing Star Dream until he died?

That wasn't even possible on an elite player, let alone someone like Dancing Star Dream, unless you could kill him before he had the chance to react.

Ice Barrier!

Dancing Star Dream froze himself, becoming immune to all damage. It wasn't until later in the game when Priests learned their Empowered Dispel and Warriors had their Broken Toss that this spell would become less effective.

While the refrigerator skill granted immunity, Dancing Star Dream was unable to do anything, and his health and mana bars wouldn't recover in the process either.

Lu Li immediately gave up on Dancing Star Dream and jumped on the players from the Gangnam Royals who had come to support him.

Dancing Star Dream was caught in a dilemma; he knew that he was dealing with more than a single Thief.

After Lu Li is gone, there would probably be another Thief waiting behind him.

Once he broke the ice, the Thief behind him would definitely cast a Cheap Shot. Although it seemed like Lu Li had given up on him, who knew when he might decide to turn around?

However, Dancing Star Dream couldn't stay frozen forever.

His refrigerator skill would time-out eventually and his team members didn't seem like they could sustain the fight for any longer. If another average player was in this situation, they would have already lost.

"****, what's meant to be will be, I'm going in!" Dancing Star Dream shouted as he cancelled his immunity early.

Cain's Left Hand was tense; the dagger in his hand was ready to slash out at given moment. However, his reaction time was a touch slower than a professional player's. Not only did he fail to cast Cheat Shot on Dancing Star Dream, but he was also frozen on the spot by a Frost Nova.

Lu Li was just about to turn back to reinforce him, but frost also began to form beneath him.

A Frost Nova couldn't possibly cover such a big area; Dancing Star Dream had left a Water Elemental behind.

"Trying to kill me with such a small amount of people? Lu Li, you're still too naïve."

With his fast and decisive movements, Dancing Star Dream and his Cone of Cold wreaked havoc on the team members from Ruling Sword.

With his contribution, the morale of the Gangnam Royals quickly rose again.

"I'll give you a chance to fight me one-on-one. I'm not shameless enough like you to bring a few hundred players into a fight," Lu Li said as he followed closely behind Dancing Star Dream.

Wirt's Third Leg (Gold): Armor 35, Agility +20, Constitution +12, Movement Speed +8%. Special

Effect 1: Fade into the shadows and appear behind a target. Increases movement speed by 80%

for 3 seconds and increases damage inflicted by next spell by 20%. Reduces Threat by 50%. 120

second cooldown. Special Effect 2: Wirt's Fake Leg, Instant Cast, leap forwards or backwards by 8 yards. 120 second cooldown. Equipment Requirement level 35. Durability 82/82.

Of course, Dancing Star Dream wasn't the type to sit back and do nothing either. He simply activated one of the special effects from his equipment and instantly appeared eight yards away. He often used this to escape from Thieves who behind him.

It was best for a Mage to keep their distance from their opponents.

What left him helpless was that Lu Li seemed to have a similar effect or skill; he continued to follow right behind him which sent Dancing Star Dream into a dilemma again.

Should he use one of the hidden aces up his sleeves?

These attacks only caused him some trouble; it wasn't to the extent where he couldn't do anything at all.

But what would happen after he used one of his aces? This was something that he needed to consider.

For example, he had a Duplicate spell which created three duplicates of him with 20% of his original damage. Although the duplicates could only cast Frost Bolts, their uses extended beyond this situation.

Moreover, this spell couldn't guarantee his escape today, so there was no point in using it.

He also had a skill that dealt massive damage, but there wasn't much point in using it right now either. At the very least, this skill couldn't deal enough damage to kill Lu Li. Killing Cain's Left Hand wasn't worth revealing one of his aces, unless his remaining team members could protect him well enough for him to escape.

The reality was that about half of the players from the Gangnam Royals had already died. Although Ruling Sword had suffered heavy losses, they still had more players standing than the Gangnam Royals.

Mages were weak against Thieves; he didn't have any effective escape mechanisms.

In Dawn, the Agility attribute split the speed of players into a few different tiers. No matter what, Intelligence and Strength couldn't outcompete Agility in this area. Not to mention, Lu Li was famous for his movement speed.
