After exiting The Beast’s room, they saw a large and narrow bridge around the corner . At the end of the bridge stood the territory of the last Boss in the Blackrock Spires, General Drakkisath .
Before crossing the bridge, Lu Li and his party needed to break through the barrier at the entrance .
Of course, the designers would use this chance to cause players some grief . They placed small waves of Horde Berserkers nearby as guards .
“What are you guys looking at?” Lu Li asked as he pointed at the monsters, “Hurry up and drag them over here!”
“I’ll go first . ”
Azure Sea Breeze was a little slower than usual, but he still went ahead . After all, he was the Main Tank . In this situation, no one else had the responsibility to take the aggro .
It was good that he didn’t need to run a long way just to take aggro . He just needed to fire a gun towards them to gain their attention .
After the monsters crossed the bridge, everyone rushed into the fray at once . The battle was near the shore, so the rushing skill of the Berserkers didn’t have any effect .
There were also a few people who were brave enough to fight the Berserkers on the bridge .
After crossing the bridge, a group of monsters could be seen standing outside General Drakkisath’s hall . These weren’t mere Berserkers; they had been mixed with dragon blood .
“Are these strong?” Azure Sea Breeze asked . He had learned his lesson from last time .
“These are the door guards of the General Drakkisath . They are the last Boss’ personal guards . Do You think that they’ll be weak?”
Lu Li was trying to recall the information he had about these monsters . After all, he was never in a serious guild in his previous life . A randomly put-together squad would never be able to reach this place, which meant that the only source of information was on the forums . However, he didn’t know that he was going to be reborn, so he didn’t pay much attention to this .
These monsters were quite powerful . If mistakes were made, they would be in a perilous situation .
Mere observations weren’t enough to determine the actual strength of these monsters, which meant that Azure Sea Breeze needed to test them out by rushing forward with his shield up .
The monsters were instantly drawn to Azure Sea Breeze, so he immediately used mitigation . It was because of this mitigation that he managed to avoid dying in an instant from the consecutive critical strikes . All of these monsters were capable of reaching a 100% critical strike chance . Of course, this was only the first attack, otherwise, Lu Li and the party might as well surrender .
As Azure Sea Breeze gained their aggro, Lu Li had already used Sap to control one of the Draconians at the side while one was already Hexed .
This meant that half of the original numbers were already redundant .
The party prioritised the killing of the Horde warriors first . Then, they killed the Draconians one by one .
These Draconians were all magic-based monsters, so they were able to spit fire . The flames that came out of their mouths dealt extremely high damage, which signified the importance of having sufficient fire-resistance stats . If the three Draconian warriors spit fire at the same time, the accumulated damage would be enough to one-shot the players .
“Be wary of your surroundings . Wandering, take the aggro . Everyone else, use your crowd control as often as possible . Let me DPS . ”
The difficult part about this was not these six monsters, but the other six patrolling monsters .
They needed to clear enough of the first six before the next six arrived, or else they would be wiped . Their equipment was more than sufficient, so if they wiped here, things wouldn’t be optimistic .
After clearing the door guards, they went into the main hall .
Drakkisath was a ruthless and deceptive strategist . In the battle of Ragnaros against Nefarian’s armies, he forced all the Dark Iron Dwarves out of the Blackrock Mountains after defeating them in battle .
The Blackrock Spires was hidden in the inner parts of the mountain which were mostly inaccessible . This area smelt of death .
Each ascending floor gradually rejected the embrace of the earth . Furthermore, the insides of the Spires were blocked off from the outside, which prevented those inside from experiencing the sun . Most people wouldn’t dare to enter this place .
However, Draconians weren’t affected by these living conditions . They were always willing to fight for their race .
The torches on the walls illuminated the entire hall .
After Lu Li and the party entered, they saw that General Drakkisath was admiring his weapon
collection . His expression was full of concentration and pride as he gazed upon his collection . Countless adventurers came in here, only to be slain by Drakkisath . Their goal? The prized collection of these powerful, legendary weapons .
Drakkisath’s armory stored many precious and powerful weapons . Although it was still fairly dark, the weapons still managed to shine brighter than any jewel .
After seeing Lu Li and his party enter the hall, General Drakkisath didn’t start to panic or yell for reinforcements . He calmly took hold of a sword that emitted black light and evil energy . This blade shook in his hands as it hummed with a low-pitched whine .
“This is the Blackblade of Shahram . Adventurers, do you know this name?”
Lu Li and his party froze up a little as the atmosphere of the room suddenly turned serious . Rend was intelligent, but he did not talk freely to the players like General Drakkisath . At this moment, Azure Sea Breeze hadn’t even charged at the Boss .
“When Titan came to Azeroth for the first time, this was still a chaotic wasteland . Elementals everywhere were hostile towards him . These Elementals worshipped an utterly evil race that originated from the Old Gods . Because of their worship, they rejected Titan’s changes to world, which was for the world to be cleansed and bask in the light . ”
General Drakkisath didn’t wait for Lu Li’s response and continued speaking .
“Titan then started to fight against the Old Gods . He unleashed his own army against the Elementals and the Old Gods . The Old Gods’ armies included the strongest Elemental commander that had ever walked the earth, Ragnaros . Moreover, there was also Therazane the Stonemother, Al’Akir and Neptulon the Tidehunter . Among these powerful beings, there was one that stood above the rest -Shahram, the Vice-General under Ragnaros . This Elemental dealt great damage and inflicted many casualties upon Titan’s armies . ”
“In the end, Titan destroyed the Elementals’ main power squad . Shahram was also killed and turned into ash . Shahram’s weapon and the other Elementals were locked in a deep and far place – hell . Titan’s victory then brought an era of peace to the world . ”
“Now, this blade is in front of you . If you can kill me, then this is yours to keep . ”
Everyone’s blood was boiling upon hearing this, especially Moonlight, who wielded two-handed weapons .
This was the weapon of Ragnaros’ strongest soldier . How exquisite would it be!?
Legendary?
No, it would far surpass the grade of Legendary . Mythical? There weren’t currently any Mythical grade items .
However, Lu Li wasn’t excited . In fact, he was rather disappointed .
Why did it have to be the Blackblade?
It wasn’t that he didn’t like this weapon . The Blackblade of Shahram was easily the strongest blade for warriors under level 60 . After all, it couldn’t be a normal Legendary item .
There were many weapons in Drakkisath’s collection, but he would take a different one each time . This meant that the weapon could be a Bow, a Staff or even a Dagger .
After entering this Instance Dungeon multiple times, players would eventually discover that whatever Drakkisath took as his weapon would drop upon his defeat .
During this time, the idea that Drakkisath had taken out such a powerful weapon excited the thoughts of his whole party .
However, only Lu Li knew the horrors of Drakkisath wielding the Blackblade . They were already on Nightmare difficulty . Now that he had taken the powerful Blackblade, Lu Li was shocked .
“These monsters should be with the Boss, right? Should I pull them all together?”
Azure Sea Breeze was completely unaware of the misery that awaited them .
“Yeah . Let’s go . ”
Lu Li decided to keep quiet . After all, he hadn’t fought General Drakkisath before . The most he did was read through strategies . It wasn’t enough to solidify an advantage, so the first attempt was destined to be a trial . He never hoped to clear this Boss in one try anyway and now that he was wielding the Blackblade, it seemed that all hope was lost .
