Chapter 1297: 1297
“Help, help me! Lu Li, I bet you planned this . Can you at least tell me the truth next time before sending me out to die?”

Azure Sea Breeze was about to cry . Even with his defensives, he still felt like his death was imminent . Although the dragonlings weren’t doing too much damage to him, there were hundreds of them spitting tiny fireballs at him and he was about to drown in a sea of fire .
The healers began healing him and the number one Main Tank in Dawn narrowly managed to survive .
However, if Lu Li didn’t give the order to attack, it would be impossible for Azure to survive the next wave of monsters since he was out of his defensive skills .
“Memories, cast Bloodlust . Everyone else, use your buffs and attack . ”
Lu Li saw that the time was right and boldly gave the order to attack . Within seconds, Azure Sea Breeze was engulfed by countless friendly skills from his teammates .
Most of the skills were high damaging AoE skills, and even Lu Li joined in on the fun .
Since there were so many monsters, Azure had a hard time keeping track of the aggro of them all . Therefore, some of the dragonlings were aggro’d onto his teammates who were dealing too much damage .
This was another problem that they had to face .
Rounding up monsters was difficult and lot of less-experienced Main Tanks would be dead before they could even draw the monsters to the designated spot . Tanking hundreds upon hundreds of monsters was even more difficult and relied on the mechanics of the Main Tank .
When the team started attacking, the monsters would scatter like ants .

In order to prevent a team wipe, Lu Li needed the team to kill majority of the dragonlings in a very short amount of time .
As the dragonlings were about to scatter, Lonesome Flower became very useful because of his skills and Water Elemental that froze monsters .
The other mages also joined on Lonesome Flower’s quick thinking, freezing the mobs and quickly teleporting away to avoid taking damage .
These dragonlings began dying in groups, not only rewarding them with a significant amount of EXP, but also the title of “Combo King” because of the number of monsters they killed .
Lu Li looked at the stats of the title .
In the Blackrock Towers upper level, Combo King gave the players a 5% damage increase .
5% did not sound like much on paper, but it was quite a significant increase . There were a total of 15 players in the party . If the main tanks and healers were taken out of the equation, that was a 5% damage increase for 10 or so players, equivalent of 50% damage increase for the entire party .
Besides the effect, it was also something to brag about once they exited the dungeon .
Everyone felt that the effort they put in was worth it .
“The boss is about to spawn . Remnant Dreams and Hachi Chan, you two clean up the rest . Everyone else, potion up and reset . ”

Hachi Chan didn’t need to heal up or restore her mana because of her exquisite gear . Remnant Dreams didn’t need to use potions either because she didn’t use much mana .
The dragonlings did not drop anything worth mentioning and soon, the Boss appeared .
Solakar Flamewreath was a Dragonkin, and was the most powerful warrior of his people . Even though he was highly-rated by the Black Dragon Legion, he was appointed to look after the offspring of Nefarian . If anything were to happen to them, he would have to pay the price .
This Boss appeared after killing the Dragonlings and dropped some valuable gear for Priests, making it quite a popular Boss to farm .
Lu Li wanted to kill Solakar as well because he dropped a useful Engineering blueprint called Schematic: Hyper-Radiant Flame Reflector . The item itself wasn’t useful, but it provided a very cheap and fast way to level up Engineering . This way, Lu Li could start crafting some useful toys that he could play with .
Solakar Flamewreath wasn’t very powerful but his signature skill was War Stomp .
This skill was often used by Taurens, who would stomp on the ground beneath them and deal damage to their enemies while stunning them . It could also interrupt opposing spells and heals .
Solakar Firewreath’s War Stomp was very powerful, but he did not have the intelligence to time it and use it to interrupt skills .
Therefore, if a player’s skill was interrupted, it was because they had bad luck .
When the fight started, Solakar frequently casted War Stomp and Azure Sea breeze was stunned . This put a lot of pressure on the DPS players to slow down their DPS in order to avoid drawing the aggro .

Fat Monkey was too excited because there was finally a Boss that wasn’t fire resistant and accidentally attacked too much, drawing the aggro . However, Fat Monkey was a professional PvP player and was skilled in kiting his enemies . He managed to stall out long enough for Azure to draw the aggro again .
“Stay on two different sides, understood?” Lu Li instructed .
“Not really,” Azure Sea Breeze and Wandering said as they both shook their heads . Even if they were on two different sides, the Boss’ War Stomp was an area of effect skill, so they would still both be stunned .
“War Stomp has a radius of 5 yards, . Azure stay here and Wandering go over to the other side, but make sure you stay 5 yards away from him . Once the Boss War Stomps Azure, you go in and draw the aggro . ”
In reality, Solakar Fireweave was an easy Boss and Lu Li’s instruction was perfect in defeating him . The Main Tank would draw the aggro while the secondary Tank acted as backup when the Main Tank is stunned .
Execution was key .
In the third stage, more dragon eggs would spawn . If the players got too close to the eggs, they will hatch more dragonlings and these were a lot more powerful than the ones they killed before .
“Sorry Nefarian, I’ve let you down,” the Dragonkin cried out as he held his fist in front of his chest and fell .
The Boss dropped two enhancement stones, Blackrock Dragon Scales, rare materials and a War Stomp skill book . Unfortunately, Lu Li did not get the blueprint that he wanted and was slightly disappointed .
Azure Sea Breeze couldn’t help but think that if they kicked Lu Li out of the party, the drops that they received would be so much better .
A Mage robe was also dropped but the stats weren’t so great . It looked beautiful and elegant, but Remnant Dream couldn’t pull it off .
In the end, the robe was given to Kitty Likes Meat because none of the male Mages wanted it .
March Rain also received new Shoulders .
After defeating Solakar Fireweave, they entered the gate . There was a very long corridor and on one side of the corridor was the Dragon Egg Hall .
There were some Dragonkin and Ogre guards along the corridor which were annoying to deal with .
They had the Warrior skill Charge, but it was slightly different . Upon impact, the target was stunned and displaced backwards .
If the player was unlucky, they could be sent flying into the Dragon Egg Hall .
That was exactly what happened to Sesame Rice Ball . Luckily, Lu Li and the others had already cleaned up the Hall beforehand and Sesame Rice Ball escaped without a scratch on him .
Afterwards, they arrived at a big gate and Azure Sea Breeze entered thinking it was the right path .
He let out a loud scream, which was followed by silence .
Everyone looked at each other, thankful that they didn’t do the same, but were curious as to what had happened .
Azure Sea Breeze quickly revived and came back . According to him, the room was full of traps that attacked him from all sorts of different angles . They also dealt an insane amount of damage because he died almost instantly .
