The Great Thief Chapter 1676

Chapter 1676: 1676
After they defeated Viscidus, Lu Li began to adjust his team .
Those who were competing left the team and gave up their place, letting in those who weren’t competing . Of course, they definitely couldn’t let those like Azure Sea Breeze and Lonesome Flower go out to mess around on the competition arena . Only Fat Monkey and Mu Qiu brought new people to go to compete .
They had one less Fire mage and crossbow knight . It didn’t have that much impact on the team’s power . The Boss they were facing now was simply too powerful compared to the one they faced before . Fat Monkey was pretty lucky to have avoided this threat . They only needed to face competitors from clubs – it wasn’t even close to fighting the Twin Emperors .
The Twin Emperors Vek’lor and Vekniss were actually the figurehead rulers of the Ahn’Qiraj insect people’s empire – in actuality, there was a manipulator behind the throne, C’Thun .
In the War of the Shifting Sands the Ahn’Qiraj insect people were defeated by the Night Elf and dragon alliance . After the whole empire had been sealed off, and in order to seek world domination again, the mysterious leader of the Ahn’Qiraj, C’Thun, commanded emperor Vek’lor to create a new lifeform to increase the strength of the insect people . At this, Vek’lor and Vekniss together created the Obsidian Destroyer .
This way, Vekniss used his natural power, using volcano stones as the main material to create the Obsidian Destroyer’s huge body . Vek’lor, on the other hand, used magic powers to provide the strength of the Obsidian Destroyer .
Because Vek’lor was physically immune, he could only do magic attacks . Whilst Vekniss was immune to magic, but he was a master in sword arts . So, they were called the Magic Emperor and the Sword Emperor .
The Twin Emperors were pretty much considered the first pair of Bosses in Dawn which shared their HP . In future patches, there were a lot of Bosses which were like the Twin Emperors, with a lot of similarities between their way of fighting . Lu LI had done some deep research into this type of Boss .

The room they were in was triangular . There was a platform on one side, and the doorway where the players entered was also considered a platform .
After entering, the Emperor on the platform to the left in front of them was holding a magic staff in his hand . He was the Emperor Vek’lor . The emperor on the platform to the left in front of them had a huge sword in his hand, which was evidently the sword master Emperor Vekniss . There was a big piece of lang between them, filled with little yellow bugs crawling all over it .
These little bugs weren’t monsters that actively attacked them . As soon as they attacked them, the battle would start immediately .
“Oh, a great competitor getting held up by Main Tank duties, I’m done . ” At this moment, Azure Sea Breeze was like he was possessed by the minstrel Big Dog Li, still brooding on the fact that he couldn’t go to compete .
Afterwards he died, because he wanted to clean up the little bugs . This death wasn’t meaningless at all though . At least they knew that at the beginning, you couldn’t, or you didn’t have to, kill the little bugs first .
“Breezy go pull the one with the sword, Wandering you go pull the one with the stick,” Lu Li commanded . They had to test the waters each time they attempt a new dungeon; there was no way they’d get it immediately . That’s right, Lu Li’s strategy this time was still testing it out . Not long after Azure Sea Breeze and Wandering had worked together here – actually, not even ten seconds later, they were gone . This time, the whole tired team followed in dying .
The first time only Azure Sea Breeze went up, so the second time, there was a healer who added HP .
“It’s not working, when I get close, he starts an Arcane Explosion, there’s just no way to pull him,” Wandering complained, refusing to play the role of cannon fodder again . He was sure there was no way he could pull the magic emperor . This magic emperor just wouldn’t give him a chance to get close .

“Looks like we can’t use close combat to pull the monster . This Boss looks like a magic attack type, so let’s think about how we can use magic to fight it,” Lu Li suggested .
Opening an Instance Dungeon was always like this . Through deaths, they would figure out where they went wrong, then try something new . If the new tactic failed, then they’d keep trying something else . If it worked, it meant that everyone had found out the right way to fight .
A mage – that is, Lonesome Flower took over Wandering’s place .
He was responsible for getting things started with the magic emperor . Because magic roles had the skill of not drawing Aggro, pulling a monster was dependent on output alone . At the moment, Lonesome Flower was the magic role who had the strongest attack, so whenever there was such a need, he was chosen first .
The reality confirmed that he really was not bad at pulling aggro . Not many people were able to snatch aggro away from him . It was just a shame that he simply couldn’t aggro with this Boss . The magic emperor Vek’lor had another skill apart from being able to cast Arcane Explosion when others got within five yards of him . He had the skill of being able to launch Shadow Bolts to the unit with the highest aggro .
Lonesome Flower simply didn’t have much Shadow defense at all, so when these Shadow Bolts hit him, it was a direct hit of almost 5000 damage; This one-shot him .
“No Shadow defense . ” Lonesome Flower didn’t have much to say . He just pointed out the facts . They weren’t really attacking this boss, they were defending against it . He simply couldn’t be attacked . Mages usually had higher Shadow defense than the average physical unit, but it couldn’t be compared at all with a warlock . Warlocks had a special attack . Dawn really took care to make sure all roles had their own specialties .
“Are you going, or me?” Sesame Rice Ball asked Kitty Likes Meat . They were both warlocks with powerful equipment and skills . The former had followed Lu Li from a very early stage and was one of the veterans of the club . The latter was a very high placed competitor and always got priority for equipment when it came to first clears .
“I’ll go, but I’ll have to borrow some of your equipment,” Kitty Likes Meat volunteered eagerly .
Being DPS all the time would get boring . It was very rare to get to chance to experience playing the role of an NPC . Such a lively girl like Kitty Likes Meat wouldn’t let this opportunity pass by .
Sesame Rice Ball was even younger than Kitty Likes Meat, but to others, he was an old but steady introverted player in the game . So he simply took off the equipment that Kitty Likes Meat wanted and gave it to her . Everyone was family here; They wouldn’t worry about others not returning equipment . Kitty Likes Meat combined equipment from two people and she suddenly became very powerful .
She purposely focused on her Shadow defense, even consuming a Shadow defense potion . The Shadow Bolts which dealt five or 6000 damage to Lonesome Flower only did two or 3000 to her . This was the definitive defensive capabilities of a role and equipment . Kitty Likes Meat endured two Shadow Bolts with no problem at all . She just need a healer to give her HP and there was basically no way she would fail . Even if there was a critical hit, there was still a chance to let the healer save her .
Azure Sea Breeze pulled the sword emperor, while Kitty Likes Meat pulled the magic emperor . Both of them securely pulled their own Bosses . However, this was definitely not enough to prevent the team from dying again . The Twin Emperors were evidently much more powerful than those Bosses of Ahn’Qiraj Temple before . The two of them suddenly changed places, and everyone faced disaster because they simply didn’t have time to react .
Changing places like this meant that Azure Sea Breeze ended up pulling the magic Emperor and Kitty Likes Meat ended up defending against the sword emperor .
Their defenses didn’t match their bosses!
