Wandering’s eyes were filled with doubt.
This was far too simple of a solution to defeat such a difficult Boss. Players that defeated this Boss with their blood, sweat and tears would likely kill the game designers if they found out about this.
“I don’t know either. I just think it’s strange that this place has a pond,” Lu Li responded.
“There’s a platform there. If we stand on it, the Boss will be unable to hit us.” Wandering didn’t believe Lu Li. He couldn’t accept that after all his effort, it was going to be that easy. There was simply no way.
“This Boss has clearly been attacking from a range.” No one believed that truth that Lu Li was telling, so he could only urge them, “We don’t have anything to lose. We won’t know for sure until we try, right?”
“I agree. Lu Li sounds much more reasonable than the other guy.” Azure Sea Breeze was the first to support him.
Because of their closeness, Azure Sea Breeze was always complaining about Wandering’s unreasonable leadership. This was actually Lu Li’s fault – if it wasn’t for the fact that he used his rebirth knowledge to lead, Wandering’s conventional leading methods wouldn’t have faced such criticism.
Seeing that everyone else didn’t have an opinion, Wandering nodded and said, “Alright then. Breezy, go and test the depth of the water.”
The pond wasn’t very deep – when Azure Sea Breeze stood in it, the water level only reached his knees.
“You didn’t even check if there were any monsters in there; you just walked right in. Your IQ isn’t very high is it?” Wandering couldn’t help but say.
“You told me to do it.” Azure Sea Breeze sounded like he had been wronged. “I told you to find out how deep it was, not go into it,” Wandering said as he smiled.
“Alright, stop bickering. Save it for when you guys get back. Go and pull the monster. Let’s finish this Boss quickly and try the other three after this. We can still finish this Instance Dungeon today,” Lu Li commanded as he clapped his hands.
“We aren’t even family,” Azure Sea Breeze argued.
Wandering smacked him across the back of his head and spat, “Pull the monster already. Use your bow, you idiot.”
Azure Sea Breeze fiercely shot an arrow at Skum’s butt. This enraged Skum, who then roared before turning around. It thumped its foot on the ground and charged at Azure Sea Breeze.
To start off with, it only used regular attacks.
At this point, it made no difference for Azure Sea Breeze if he was standing on the ground or in the water. He could still tank the Boss.
When Skum finally started casting Chain Lightning, everyone held their breath. All eighteen eyeballs stared in anticipation as to what would happen next.
Only Lu Li, who had experienced rebirth, was sure. No one else knew what would happen but him.
While using the water to absorb some of the lightning damage seemed silly, even sillier strategies for defeating Bosses would appear in the future.
For example, there was a Boss that would go berserk when it saw a female player. The solution to this was simple – bring a male-only party.
There was also another Boss that was really afraid of poisonous snakes. If you caught a baby poisonous snake and put it in front of the Boss, it would immediately lose 30% of its attack, which made the Instance Dungeon significantly easier.
Under the fixed gazes of everyone, the lightning finally hit Azure Sea Breeze’s body. This initial contact dealt 200 damage, but that was it.
The lightning’s second jump went into the water and didn’t cause any more damage to Azure Sea Breeze.
“Haha, it really does work. I only took 200 damage,” Azure Sea Breeze laughed.
It was so easy. Such a small adjustment had reduced the damage taken from 700-800 to 200. Even if the damage taken was additive, the situation still wouldn’t be as desperate as it was before.
Now, they had six players dealing damage, which caused Skum’s HP to rapidly fall. After a mere 15 minutes, its 80,000 HP had been reduced to a few points.
As such, if you thought about it, this actually wasn’t that difficult of a Boss.
Otherwise, the other guild’s parties would have been stuck here forever.
The First Clear of this Boss was finally taken by Lu Li and his party. The equipment dropped by it was much better than the previous two Bosses.
