a task as difficult as fighting the Boss itself.
“The Main Tank will need to activate their damage reduction skills and rush forwards. You all need to listen to my instructions… you have to okay?” Lu Li anxiously looked at Remnant Dream and Hachi chan before saying, “Do you dare to jump over a ditch?”
“Yes.” The two girls patted their chests to assure him.
Azure Sea Breeze had quite a few damage reduction skills, and his shield also provided additional damage reduction if his HP fell below a certain threshold. As such, he bravely went ahead and drew aggro from all the mobs.
Lu Li went into Stealth and went ahead, while everyone else took a bottle of the Antidote and ran behind Azure Sea Breeze.
They made it through half of the cave after minute of walking, but Azure Sea Breeze’s damage reduction was about to finish. When everyone finally caught up to Lu Li, he said, “Ditch.”
“Lu Li, please. How can you call this a ditch?”
It was actually a ravine that was near the wall. It wasn’t very wide, but the players couldn’t see the bottom of it. Even Azure Sea Breeze felt his legs go soft when he saw it.
“You don’t jump first – hold off the mobs. Everyone else, jump quickly,” Lu Li said, ignoring him.
“Can I say no?” Hachi Chan and Remnant Dream were both shaking.
“Quickly, just close your eyes and jump. Watch me.”
Lu Li didn’t sprint, but simply jumped and reached the other side.
“I’ll go first. I’ll go first,” Sakura Memories volunteered.
The ravine wasn’t actually that wide. Sakura Memories jumped back and forth a few times.
After seeing a girl do it, the boys had to follow suit, as they didn’t want to appear timid. Wandering, Sesame Rice Ball and the others all jumped across, one after the other.
March Chan gritted her teeth and rushed across with her eyes closed.
This gave Lu Li a fright – she had almost fallen down. When he had told them to close their eyes and jump, he had done so out of desperation. He didn’t mean for them to actually do it.
Luckily she jumped from the right spot and made it, despite the scare.
“Quickly, you two old ladies. If you don’t jump soon, I won’t be able to hold them off for much longer.” Azure Sea Breeze was at 20% HP, which triggered his Shield’s damage reduction effect.
“Dreamy, you first. I’ll follow you,” Hachi Chan encouraged.
Remnant Dream was scared as well. She sprinted for a few steps, but planted her feet into the ground when she reached the edge of the ravine. Her momentum almost tossed her into the depths below.
“If you don’t want to jump, then just die on that side. After the monsters leave, we’ll get March Rain to revive you.” Lu Li didn’t have any more ideas, but he couldn’t let Azure Sea Breeze die.
“No, don’t leave us behind.” Once she heard that they were going to be left to fend for themselves, Hachi Chan was suddenly prompted to action.
It was easy to convince someone in a virtual game that something was real.
Azure Sea Breeze quickly downed an Intermediate Health Potion while March Rain healed him from the other side of the ravine. The two girls were taking their time, but eventually took the leap of faith.
Remnant Dream had already been scared once, so she didn’t want lead again. This time, it was Hachi Chan going first, and after a sprinting for a few steps, she jumped furiously.
“Ahh!”
Girl, don’t scream first – you jumped a little too high.
If she kept going… she was definitely going to fall in.
If she fell from this height, who knew what kind of mental toll that would have? Lu Li sighed before using his Cloak’s effect and appearing behind Hachi Chan.
Party members couldn’t attack each other, but he could still push her.
Bang! Hachi Chan hit the other side of the ravine.
The person who was falling had now become Lu Li. While everyone felt touched by his sacrifice, he activated his glove’s effect on Azure Sea Breeze – Sudden Thrust.
He then immediately appeared back on the top.
“So cool!” Remnant Dream exclaimed as she clapped.
“Alright, it’s your turn,” Lu Li urged.
Time was ticking and when all of the mobs began to attack Azure Sea Breeze, he wouldn’t be able to tank them, even if he was receiving healing.
“Will you help me?”
“Of course,” assured Lu Li.
“I’ll be jumping then.”
Like Hachi Chan, she sprinted for a few steps, shut her eyes and jumped over with great vigor when she reached the edge of the ravine.
By the time she had opened her eyes, she was already safe and sound on the other side.
Lu Li and Azure Sea Breeze looked at each other for a moment before jumping over together.
The width was actually quite small. It was just that the perceived depth of the ravine applied an immense amount of psychological pressure.
Before long, the game company would change this part of the Instance Dungeon. They would reduce the width of the ravine and also add a foggy effect so it didn’t appear so deep.
