Sorrowless’ shield skill had a cooldown of one hour, with an active duration of 3 seconds . Naturally, once used, it probably would not be used for the rest of the battle . Furthermore, since the cooldown of the skill was so long, the team would not be able to count on this skill to save them from wiping every time . After all, Argelmach could still have multiple skills up his sleeves .
After wiping two more times, Lu Li stood up and clapped his hands loudly . He decided that he was going to be the saviour of this team .
“Breezy, do you see the four pillars in the hall?” Lu Li asked while pointing . “Drag the Boss to the middle . Then, when he’s going to use a skill, everyone should run behind the pillars . The pillars might be able to save our lives . ”
“Is that possible? After all, this is a lightning attack . ” Wendelian was extremely suspicious .
Everyone knew that for skills like this, it did not matter if they hid from the Boss . After all, they had seen that the Lightning Cloud had enveloped the whole house .
“Just try it out . We don’t know until we try,” Lu Li said, clearly determined .
Since there weren’t any other better proposals, the others did not object to this suggestion . They had wiped so many times until this point .
Azure Sea Breeze began to drag Argelmach and the other two golems in the middle . They had to start from phase one, so they had to use the triangle formation once again .
This time, they did not start off as well as before . The moment the battle begun, Elevenless was immediately killed . As for why Elevenless always died, this was unexplainable . However, Lu Li did not call for the team to stop .

Green Flag Wine ended up replacing Elevenless’ role of tanking the golems .
After passing through phase one, things became a little easier . However, after phase two came phase three…
“Ready…”
The moment Lu Li yelled for the team to prepare themselves, they immediately stopped attacking . Then, when he instructed them to run, even Azure Sea Breeze listened and used his leap skill to escape .
Fortunately, the Boss remained still when everyone was running . After all, he was channelling his skill .
Waves of lightning bolts filled the room, turning it into a lightning cage .
As soon as the lightning hit a member of the team, they did not bother to use any form of mitigation . However, they quickly found out that the lightning bolts that could one-shot them did not kill them this time .
“Ah, I understand,” Sorrowless remarked, understanding how they managed to take significantly less damage from the lightning . “The lightning bolts were less concentrated this time than previously . This was because we took shelter behind the pillars . The damage that we received was from the smaller bolts that extended from the main ones . Lu Li was correct in his judgment . ”
Lu Li was happy that someone else had explained it instead of himself . He was just content at discovering the strategy .

However, they could not let down their guard here . After all, Argelmach was known as the Golem Lord, so he could not only have had the two golems from the beginning .
Argelmach began to summon golem after golem .
During this time, the golems could be controlled by players after their HP reached a certain threshold . The players could control these golems and use their skills and bodies to fight .
This was an enjoyable part of the fight as it was like playing with bumper cars .
The ones with less DPS or less tanking ability could choose to control one of these golems and attack the Boss this way .
Obviously, the main tank and healers still had to maintain their current roles .
The damage that the golems received was not transferred to the player’s original bodies . Instead, the golems had a durability bar of 100 points . Many players would use them to attack Argelmach, since the damage was extremely high .
The summoning of these golems only helped the players, instead of making it difficult for them . As such, Argelmach quickly used a new skill that was a form of black magic, which he used to separate souls from bodies .
Argelmach used this skill on Unforgettable Maple, who immediately lost control of his body and became one of Argelmach’s puppets .
He had quickly become the Boss’ weapon, but he alone could not do much . After all, they were all professional players who met with each other on a regular basis in the arena .

The Boss began to use this skill on other squad members too .
This stage of the Boss fight was extremely difficult and dangerous . After all, the number of players fighting against Argelmach was slowly decreasing . If this skill was cast on the main tank or the healers, then they would definitely wipe .
Argelmach’s HP was already less than 10%, so if they wiped here, they would have to start all over again .
“Those who have crowd-control skills, use them on the ones being controlled . The rest of you, focus on the Boss!” Lu Li was still yelling for the members to stop fighting the controlled players .
As he spoke, he used Blind on Unforgettable Maple, then rushed towards the Boss .
After this, even when the others were affected by Argelmach’s skill, the originally controlled players would return to normal . They realised that the maximum number of controlled players was five .
Their most unfortunate moment came when Azure Sea Breeze was controlled . Sea Breaker hurried to take his role and tanked the Boss’ damage . Argelmach’s damage was horrifyingly lethal . Lu Li didn’t think that Sea Breaker could tank more than two hits, considering the healers were running out of Mana .
“Alright, alright . I’m back,” Azure Sea Breeze announced, then rushed to help Sea Breaker out .
The three healers had used up all their mana in these few seconds healing Sea Breaker . Azure Sea Breeze felt sympathetic for them . After all, Sea Breaker was supposed to be a professional main tank .
After Azure Sea Breeze took over Sea Breaker’s position, the battle immediately turned in their favour . The other players were managing fine, so the healers had a chance to rest for a little while .
They were even more lucky, because Argelmach did not go into an enraged state this time . Lu Li decided to let Innocent Child use a revive on Elevenless so that the whole team could receive rewards and pass this Instance Dungeon together . Azure Sea Breeze and Jade Flower Lover also gained skill points as rewards .
Even if an ordinary squad knew the strategies, they would still be grinding this dungeon for hours on end, with wipe after wipe . Smaller guilds could find themselves fighting here for days without any progress .
Lu Li was content with this outcome already .
He knew of two Legendary drops from Argelmach . One was the Naglering, while the other was Second Wind .
Second Wind was an extremely powerful item for Mage classes . This was because once it was equipped, it could regenerate tremendous amounts of Mana during battle .
The properties of the Naglering were not bad either and was popular among main tanks . There was a unique effect that had a chance to give a defensive barrier for the wielder . The maximum number of barriers that could be held was five . This ring gave main tank the capacity to tank a huge number of same level monsters at the same time .
Of course, when used against a Boss, the effects of this ring would be rather insignificant . Even five barriers would not be able to tank one hit from a Boss .
Lu Li was a little torn between which one he would prefer to drop .
In terms of actual value, Second Wind was much more valuable . However, only March Rain could enter the roll for it, as seven to eight others would also want it . If the Naglering dropped, then Azure Sea Breeze would have a high chance of receiving it, due to his relationship with Sea Breaker .
Even if Sea Breaker wanted to roll for it, Azure Sea Breeze still had a considerable chance of winning .
