Chapter 1089: 1089
Lu Li changed into two equips that had Fire Resistance Attributes so that he could sustain the burn damage . In return, this lowered his ability to output damage .

This was only natural, considering that equipment focused on Defense would be weaker in other aspects . Dawn was a game that upheld balance and the Fire Resistance equipment on the market would probably rise in value because of this dungeon .
Lu Li had already asked Shen Wansan to purchase these items for him a long time ago .
Although he had stocked up some Fire Resistance equipment, there was no way that Ruling Sword will sell them . There were too many members and they might not even have enough for themselves .
"Come out, my children," Bael'Gar beckoned as he summoned two fiery pillars .
Bolts of fire appeared from his summon and rained down on the players' heads . They would take damage over time if they were struck by any of these firebolts . The celebrity players easily dodged most of the flames with their fast reaction times .
However, this wasn't the end of it . You could tell from Bael'Gar's lines that he was going to do more than just summon some flames .
As expected, the flames that landed on the ground turned into miniature flame monsters . These monsters were formed entirely by fire and were constantly burning their life force . This made Bael'Gar even stronger as he dealt insane damage .
"Melee players, pull the monsters into the waters," Lu Li instructed, then led by example and attacked two fire elementals, dragging them towards the water .
He dived in, but made sure to not sink entirely, or else the fire elementals would lose their target and switch to someone else .

Lu Li knew, but the others didn't, so the situation became a little messy .
Fortunately, everyone quickly discovered the secret and only two players died in the process . Thirteen of them were left standing, but the main tanks and healers were all alive, so they could still proceed .
The fire elementals didn't dare enter the water, but they were constantly burning their lives away . Once their damage dropped, you could rise out of water and attack them .
"My God, Lu Li, what are you doing?" Unforgettable Maple was a ranged damage dealer, but the fire elementals still chased him into the water . He looked stunned as Lu Li bent over and waved his mining tools around . This didn't fit the current situation at all .
"I'm mining . These are good quality minerals," Lu Li answered honestly as he placed all the minerals that he had dug up into his bag .
"No way – you're a guild master! Are you serious?" Unforgettable Maple was speechless . Most of the competitors here probably didn't even know how to dig up minerals . They spent most of their time on training; there was no time for them to waste on trading skills .
"These minerals are perfect quality . If you use them to forge equipment, they can boost base damage by about 20% with a chance to add on a fire damage special effect," Lu Li explained calmly .
"****, sell it to me!"

Once they heard about the 20% base damage boost, their eyes all went red .
"I'm a guild master; do I really need money?" Lu Li asked as he tossed their words right back at them .
Water Fairy smiled and didn't mention a single thing about buying them . Lu Li had already messaged her, saying that when Bael'Gar's First Clear was taken, two rocks would drop into the river . He planned to give one of them to Water Fairy to upgrade her Shard of the Defiler .
Using Reputation, they could exchange for the upgrade recipe with Ravenholdt Manor and then remake it with some exquisite materials .
The remake would probably be a level 60 Legendary weapon .
"35% health . Old Man Power, resurrect Phantom Gaze," Lu Li directed as he jumped out .
"What about me?" Green Flag Wine asked .
The ones who died were Phantom Gaze, the Warlock and Green Flag Wine, the Paladin . They had been unlucky and were surrounded by the fire elementals with nowhere for them to run .
"Just stay down I guess," Lu Li said without the slightest bit of sympathy .

Green Flag Wine was saddened, not because he was eager to fight, but because of the large amount of experience from the Boss . Bael'Gar was level 56, so the rewards would have been great .
"Burn! Let all return to the fire element!"
Once Bael'Gar's health reached 10%, he stood up and his body expanded .
Lu Li's eyeballs nearly fell out of his eyes; he had never read about this from any guides .
Then, a ring of flame expanded from Bael'Gar outwards, and his body became smaller . He seemed extremely tired and if you kept attacking him, you would realize that his Defense had dropped by a few levels .
Unfortunately, no one could attack him anymore, because all the players were killed in an instant – even their corpses were burned to ash . Everyone had to revive .
"This boss is too strong . . . "
"That was at least ten thousand points of damage . I think unless you had a invincibility skill, or the Main Tanks used their damage reduction, no one would be able to make it through . "
"We were so close…that was less than 10% health…"
Everyone discussed what had just happened as they all ate bread to recover . It was rare to have a Boss that obliterated everything in its path .
"Lu Li, you said we would take down another two Bosses today . I feel like we're going to be stuck here," Wendelian said hopelessly .
"Wait, let me have a think . "
Lu Li sat on the floor with a twisted expression . He had never read about this in any guide . Bael'Gar was the type of boss that existed to give out equipment; even a random team could take him down without a problem .
It couldn't be some silly butterfly effect – even if he had reincarnated, there was no way he could have impacted the game so greatly .
The Blackrock Depths were such a classic dungeon, and the gaming company had poured in so much time, effort, and energy into it . They wouldn't change anything at random, especially to make it harder for the celebrity team who was advertising for them .
The only explanation would have to be a game version update .
Lu Li imagined that this was how Bael'Gar was originally designed . It was likely too difficult to defeat, so the gaming company had to weaken the Boss .
