1296 Train King (1/2)
Healers needed Mana to continue healing, which was why Azure Sea Breeze couldn't drag the fight on indefinitely. Moreover, the longer they dragged it on for, the higher the chance of the Boss going Berserk.
As the Boss' HP slowly dropped, Pyroguard Emberseer realized that these players were not to be trifled with.
He began to try and escape. At this time, his aggro towards the Main Tank was unstable and he attempted to return to the altar. He was trying to get to the flames that had been used to incubate the Black Dragon's eggs.
The Fire Elementals of Azeroth had come from Fire Elemental plane, which was a mysterious place.
It was said that the Fire Elementals that died would be resurrected in this plane, but they would no longer be the same as before as they would have lost their memories and feelings.
Emberseer didn't want to go down that path, so he started to go Berserk.
”You don't know the true power of the flame. Now you will see the Emberseer's fury!”
The Berserk Boss' attack power increased greatly. The fire damage aspect of his attacks was particularly strengthened, but this wasn't fatal for the players. They had piled up fire resistance equipment which was finally demonstrating its value.
”My fire resistance is quite high, but can you guys fight a little faster? I can't keep burning like this,” Azure Sea Breeze called out.
The others didn't want to let him die, so they sped up the rhythm of damage output and healing.
”My master will avenge me,” Emberseer cried out as he waved his arm and left a box behind. After all this time, he hadn't even killed a single opponent.
This was a level 60 Instance Dungeon Boss, so it was a little sad.
”Hey, you guys finally defeated it. Seems like it was difficult,” Fat Monkey said as he ran over with a wide grin.
”Can't believe you needed to rely on the girls to fight the Boss for you,” Hachi Chan quipped at Fat Monkey.
”Pfsht, say what you want, but if I had participated in that fight I would be fighting with the Boss. At that time, I should have asked you to call me daddy, and threatened to heal the Boss if you didn't.”
”Alright, that's enough. Let's quickly loot the Boss. This is only the first one, so let's not get ahead of ourselves,” Lu Li said.
As such, Remnant Dream began the loot the Boss.
There were a few Strengthening Stones, a Synthetic Stone with Critical Damage, and a Skill Book with a Fire Mage skill that Fat Monkey had already learned. All they could do with the book was leave it for people in the guild who needed it.
”This stone gives such a small buff that it feels like a waste of a slot,” Wandering said as he shook his head. ”It seems like someone has killed the first Boss before we did at Nightmare Difficulty. The Rewards don't seem that good, but I'm not sure what other guild has the capacity to do it.”
”That sounds pretty normal. We didn't lose a single member to this Boss, so how can we expect that no one else can defeat it?”
Lu Li realized that these players thought too highly of themselves, and expected that no other guild in Dawn would take these Instance Dungeons before them.
This wasn't a good thing.
”Well, you said it. All the equipment is pretty average,” Remnant Dream announced.
There was a total of three equips – two Gold and one Dark Gold. This was indeed the normal drop rate of a Nightmare Instance Dungeon Boss after the First Clear had been taken. They would be dreaming if they thought they were receiving an Epic item here.
This was why Epic items were still very scarce.
The drop rate were too low and the demand was too great. All the major guilds and mercenary groups were relying on repeatedly farming the same Instance Dungeons to find Epic equipment. Even Glory Capital's Epic equipment wasn't completely theirs. They likely had some arrangement of borrowing equipment just as Ruling Sword borrowed from Drizzle Court and Peerless City.
”If you want good equipment, we'll have to work harder. Let's go to the next one,” Lu Li urged.
They hadn't been inside this Instance Dungeon for very long and they hadn't died yet, so everyone was still in a good mood. There was no point delaying their progress.
After killing Pyroguard Emberseer, the left door opened and led them to a room full of dragon eggs.
”Don't get too close to the eggs. Let me try first,” Lu Li said as he carefully approached an egg. These dragon eggs weren't dead; they were arranged in a very deliberate way and would occasionally shake to prove that there were things inside them.
”Good luck,” Azure Sea Breeze whistled and waited to see what would happen.
”Well… I don't think a Thief is suitable for this. Breezy, you come do it. You should be able to tank the monster,” Lu Li laughed, passing on the role to the Main Tank.
”Don't do that to me please; I made a mistake Boss,” Azure Sea Breeze pleaded, regretting what he said when he looked at the egg.
”Oh, come on. You make it look like they're not just dragon eggs,” Lu Li said as he went up and kicked one of them. The egg cracked and a small dragon came out of it.
