Illusions could be used to trick opponents of the caster's position or even their opponents' perception of who was friend or foe. It was not easy to achieve these things, but a powerful Illusionist would be able to escape easily and turn foes into allies.
Researching into this Instance Dungeon was well worth it, because they now knew of Jandice Barov's abilities.
Lu Li and his party watched on as the Barov Lady of the House frantically tore apart body after body.
"Souls! I need more souls!"
She was already a Necromancer of the Scourge and was no longer a Master Illusionist, or the Lady of the Barov Family. In her eyes, only the bodies without souls were her allies
Compared to the previous Bosses, clearing Jandice Barov in one try was nearly impossible.
If there wasn't a bet and livestream of events between Ruling Sword and Glory Capital, ordinary players would spend around one to two days to complete this dungeon. Even after spending that much time in here, they could only clear it with good luck.
Lu Li could not reveal all of this to his team.
He decided that they should wipe a couple of times, to prevent arising suspicion from other guilds.
As an Illusionist, Jandice Barov had two HP trigger points. One was at 66%, while the other at 33%. At these points, she would disappear, then create multiple clones of herself which filled the room.
During this period of time, the real body would be hidden among the clones and unleash AoE attacks.
From the very beginning of the battle, she would use a skill called Wonder Rapidity that had a certain chance of triggering. When she cast this skill, she would swing her staff and unleash a monstrous amount of arcane magic onto her surroundings.
There was no equipment that gave resistance to arcane magic, so this was extremely terrifying for the players. The Main Tank was expected to have enough Armor and HP to tank this hit.
Azure Sea Breeze quickly adapted to the patterns of this skill after being struck a few times.
As long as they did not stand in front of the Boss when the skill was activated, they would be able to avoid a barrage of damage.
Besides this, she also used another skill that was of considerable danger to wiping out the squad. This skill caused players to gravitate towards Jandice, while dealing copious amounts of Dark damage and blinding them for 10 seconds.
Players called this skill 'Black Water', because it appeared as though black water was pooling around their ankles.
Who would pay attention to their feet while concentrating on the fight? This was how Ruling Sword suffered their first squad wipe.
Ruling Sword's wipes were different to Glory Capital's. Firstly, the pressure was not as heavy because they were not livestreaming their raid. The more Glory Capital did not want to wipe, the more panicked they became.
"I realised that just before we got wiped, black water surrounded our feet. I think this might be the skill that's destroying us," Lu Li said straight away.
According to Lu Li's observation skills, it would be much stranger if he had not realised. After all, Wandering had also realised this.
"I'll investigate this skill further. When the time comes again, I'll yell for people to relocate themselves to places without the water," he suggested.
Before entering the battle again, Square Root came with news in the guild channel.
Glory Capital was also wiped out in the fight against the second Boss. However, they had died to Wonder Rapidity, since their Main Tank was much weaker than Azure Sea Breeze.
When they entered a second time, the black water appeared quickly.
However, because of Wandering's constant warnings and directions, Ruling Sword was unaffected by it.
When Jandice Barov reached 66% HP, she began to remember that she was an Illusionist and seemingly regained her abilities.
"AoE Classes, speed up your attacks; don't worry about anything else. Mu Qiu, keep healing. March Rain, use your AoE healing skills. If you really can't heal, have Hachi Chan use Tranquillity!" Lu Li yelled for the players to hear.
