Chapter 1546: Rubbish Rewards

With the shield, Heigan Lavender stood up in a firm stance again and began his performance.

The stream of various debuff skills didn’t stop. He slowed down the movements of the Paladins he chose, then grabbing his head in pain, immediately fell down and rolled around. His skin colour began to change to green, then red, especially his head. If Lu Li saw right, his head even began to swell, but his body began to wither.

A black fog began to spread around his body and the Holy Light gradually disappeared until no traces could be seen.

Light and darkness were never definitively said to be strong or weak. When the power of darkness was greater than light, then light could only keep silent and lie low.

The Paladin who was chosen turned into a puppet and began to charge at his own teammates.

“Keep attacking,” Tirion Fordring said, casting a pitiful glance at his subordinate who had been controlled. He resolutely continued to lead a group of Paladins to violently attack Heigan Lavender. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to save his comrade, but it was because he knew that if he saved them now, Heigan Lavender would gain the opportunity to contaminate the other Paladins.

Only if they could deal with Heigan Lavender once and for all would this Paladin who had been controlled have any chance at all of being saved.

As a leader, he had led Paladins in many fights against evil and had abundant experience. The power of today’s Undead mage was greater than he had imagined. He didn’t know how such an unknown Undead mage could be this powerful.

“Breezy, pull that Paladin. Pull him a bit further away and try the magic potions for cursed sicknesses on him!” Lu Li cried out loudly.

If a teammate was an NPC, then you couldn’t simply give them health. Naturally, the sort of magic that would get rid of magic effects wasn’t effective, but now, since this Paladin was already not a friendly unit, it wasn’t very clear what the outcome would be.

Lu Li had already thought about it a lot already.

Even if the magic to get rid of the effect worked, it would also get rid of the enemy’s increased magic. However, this would pull away the Paladin. It would definitely increase the time for Tirion Fordring to advance.

The Dwarves had also marched up to surround the Boss. They were considered physical output units and their damage to the Arcane shield was high. The towering, solid shield was quickly reduced to a flimsy mess. As soon as Lu Li saw a chance, he pounced onto it. He immediately led a large portion of the forces to wrap around and lay siege to the Boss.

It wasn’t because Lu Li was particularly bold and powerful. Even if Heigan Lavender didn’t have a shield, he was still one twisted Boss.

The main thing was that Lu Li needed to have the players deal a high enough proportion of damage. Otherwise, the Boss’ death would be counted to the NPC and so there wouldn’t be anything dropped at all. If that was the case, then what was the point for Lu Li and his team to fight so hard for nothing?

Although the previous monsters dropped a significant number of items, no one would be satisfied when there was a major Boss in front of them.

The fearful thing about Heigan Lavender was that he was the strongest Boss Lu Li could encounter.

If he were any stronger, then no matter how many players there were, it would all be in vain.

Tirion Fordring had no idea that Lu Li was going to steal the kill; he thought he hadn’t misjudged Lu Li. Although this person was a Thief, if you were talking about his reliability, he was more trustworthy than most Paladins.

With that in mind, he was dedicated to helping the players by blocking quite a few skills.

Heigan Lavender’s total HP wasn’t much. After all, he was Magic-based and was also an Undead Mage. In the beginning, when the distance hadn’t been closed and his shield hadn’t been ruined, his HP dropped slowly. However, as soon as the shield and the distance were eliminated, his HP began to drop like water down a drain.

Tirion Fordring was playing the role of Main Tank, giving players peace of mind as they chipped away.

System : Congratulations to Ruling Sword, Peerless City, and Drizzle Court, who under the leadership of Lu Li have achieved the First Clear of Heigan Lavender.

Heigan Lavender had finally reached the end of his life. He fell and turned into a pile of white bones, then this pile of white bones that spontaneously combusted. After a short time, they burned into ashes, and at the very end, a box was left. It was filled with the spoils of war for killing this Boss.

The Paladin who had been controlled was also slowly starting to recover back to normal.

However, what made people feel helpless was that he had already lost too much of his vitality. His hair which was originally a golden blonde had become white and shrivelled. There wasn’t much flesh left on his face; he just looked like a wrinkly bag of bones.

Two Paladins propped him up while Tirion Fordring poured Holy Light into him.

They didn’t know if he could be saved or not. If he could be saved, then this would be the perfect ending to Tyr’s Hand battle.

Virtually none of the Paladin and Warhammer Dwarf NPCs had died in battle. Those who died were just adventurer players, but death was already a common occurrence for everyone. As long as the things in the box were valuable, then it was worth it for everyone.

There was a reward for achieving the First Clear, but it wasn’t always obvious.

Of the 20,000 people there, at least 15,000 had participated in the battle against the Boss, so there would also be 15,000 rewards.

Because of this, some might think that the more people who participated in a Wild Boss battle, the more rewards there would be. Of course, the game company wouldn’t be so stupid.

The less people there were, the better the reward. If there were more people, the quality of the reward would decrease. If, for example, ten people fighting the Boss received a piece of Epic equipment each, then 100 people would only receive Dark Gold equipment and 1000 people might receive Gold equipment.

Lu Li was shaking his head, speechless as he held the reward – a piece of Steel equipment.

Of course, not everyone was as unlucky as he was. Some people still received Gold equipment or rare materials.

However, Skill Points were a completely different story. Fifteen thousand people sharing the reward for a level 60 Boss meant that there was almost no chance of anyone receiving Skill Points.

Lu Li also knew this, but he really couldn’t do anything about it. If there were too few people, then there was the possibility of not defeating the Boss, even if they were kill-stealing from NPCs.

At that moment, they were counting on Remnant Dream to see if she could tip the scales in their favour.

“Lots of rocks.”

Wild bosses were more likely than Instance Dungeon bosses to drop Stones.

Remnant Dream picked up a small pile of Synthetic Gems and Strengthening Stones.

The Strengthening Stones were divided into three groups, which were shared among the three clubs equally. Lu Li picked from the Synthetic Gems first, and the rest were divided into two. After all, this was the questline that Lu Li had single-handedly activated himself, so he was given the first choice.

In terms of equipment, a Boss of this level wouldn’t drop anything of Gold grade. At the very least, it would drop Dark Gold equipment.

There were nine pieces of Dark Gold equipment, and their quality wasn’t bad at all. They would definitely be better than level 55 Epic equipment. The competition at this time was still quite fierce, and with so many people competing for the equipment, the place immediately became like a vegetable market.

In the end, Lu Li simply let the three clubs send people to discuss the division.

Each club received three pieces of Dark Gold equipment. It wasn’t that Lu Li was generous. Rather, he was more generous with the Dark Gold equipment so that he could take an extra piece of Epic equipment.
