"This is just the beginning," Lu Li said slowly .
All the fights in the past began playing in his mind as he analyzed every time he had shot-called incorrectly . Although talent was important, he still needed to continuously learn in order to become a great shot-caller .
In the previous fight, there were so many mistakes that he had made . If he had done better, there would be less casualties .
Casualties were unavoidable, because it was impossible to have everyone survive .
After the Magma Giant, there were two more Fire Elementals .
Son of Flame was such an arrogant name, so players preferred to call him by his pet name Fiery .
"These two monsters…"
The Magma Giant was probably more of a gatekeeper and the size of the Son of Flame was close to Ragnaros . Perhaps they were even related by blood .
"Let's try it," Lu Li suggested .
"Lu Li, you're becoming less and less cute . "
Azure Sea Breeze shook his head and charged towards one of the Sons of Flame with his giant shield .

World's Best Friend charged towards the other one almost at the same time . Both successfully grabbed aggro on their targets .
Sons of Flames were vicious creatures . They weren't as powerful as Magma Giants, but they had an equal potential of wiping a team .
These monsters had very simple attack patterns – all they did was burn their enemies to death .
There was no need for tanks to worry about being instantly killed . Their AOE skills only dealt about 500 points of damage, although the area of effect was quite large . Upon seeing this, everyone let out a sigh of relief since they had so many healers to cover the damage .
Lu Li knew that they were letting down their guard too early .
Finally, someone discovered something terrifying . Upon the second wave of Fire Breath, they realized the damage from the first wave was still ticking and almost everyone had a burn status applied on them .
"The damage can stack; everyone spread out . "
It was impossible for the Priests to cleanse 40 players one by one since they had to heal at the same time .
"Ranged classes surround Sesame Rice Ball . "
Lu Li saw that the timing was right and began setting up his strategy . He didn't want to let everyone wipe again .
Everyone was a little confused, but Lu Li's voice acted as a beacon on a stormy night . All the ranged classes immediately began gathering around Sesame Rice Ball . They needed to stay close enough together, but still leave enough room to cast skills .

Lu Li estimated the size of the group and was happy .
"March Rain, it's all up to you now . "
March Rain caught on quick and casted Mass Dispel on the group of ranged and melee classes . This was the first time using this skill outside the Ruling Swords usual dungeon team .
Originally, she had planned on saving it until they faced off against Glory Capital, but unfortunately, they were able to see it beforehand .
Priests would always feel a huge sense of achievement whenever they dispelled a Mage's Ice Block or a Paladin's invulnerability . Managing to accomplish such feats was a lot more satisfying than just healing others .
Mass Dispel was a skill that dispelled all effects in a certain radius from the target .
In the current patch, the cooldown was low so it could be casted quite often . It could be casted on a maximum of 10 targets and March Rain was basically spamming it in order to cleanse all the burn effects .
This way, she could ensure that they didn't take double the burn damage .
The only downside was her mana pool since it was quite the costly skill . Fortunately, the Sons of Flame were killed before March Rain's mana pool was depleted .
"That was easy," Lu Li commented .

If it wasn't for March Rain with her Mass Dispel, then he would have organized eight smaller teams, each with a class that could cast dispel . However, if one of the healers messed up then that small group could wipe very easily .
The player in charge of cleansing everyone could forget to cleanse themselves or struggle to keep up with the refresh timer which would mean certain death .
The two Sons of Flames were quickly dealt with and there were no drops that were worth mentioning .
Lu Li had heard that these Elite monsters had a chance of dropping Dark Gold or even Legendary drops, since they were almost as powerful as the actual Bosses . Unfortunately, they weren't very lucky today .
They took a turn and two more Magma Giants appeared . Azure Sea Breeze wanted to cry and everyone else were traumatized from the previous experience .
"We defeated the Sons of Flames before . Why are you guys scared?" Lu Li asked . He knew he had to raise their morale .
They shouldn't be held back by these Elite monsters because there were many more difficult challenges for them to face .
When they heard this, they realized he was right . Now that they know what to do, as long as they concentrated, no one would die .
This proved that they were too naive as they immediately lost two players in the first 60 seconds . One was Lonesome Flower who made a silly mistake on his positioning and the other was Wandering . However, it was more of the Healing Paladin's fault than Wandering's .
"Hachi Chan, revive Wandering . World's Best Friend, keep aggro of that monsters . Anyone else who makes these noob mistakes will be punished," Lu Li threatened angrily .
He knew it was impossible for them to not lose anyone, but they had lost two of their key players at the very start .
The fact that they knew what to do but still made those silly mistakes made Lu Li extremely upset .
However, he still needed to save face for Lonesome Flower . If he was to punish him by bringing in a substitute, not only would their overall power decrease, but it would also hurt his friendship with him and his younger sister March Rain .
The fact that Lu Li used the phrase 'noob mistakes' really impacted Lonesome Flower .
Lonesome Flower was a man of pride . He was one of the original members that joined Lu Li and had participated in almost every Nightmare mode dungeon clears . Although he was a more lowkey person, most top players in the game knew that his equipment was insanely powerful and almost comparable to that of Sorrowless .
Everyone else in the party became more alert when Lonesome Flower was scolded .
They had a few more casualties as the fight went on but when the two Magma Giants were defeated, less than ten people had died .
Lu Li wasn't exactly happy, but the results was acceptable .
Lonesome Flower was revived and remained quiet . He knew that Lu Li had already saved face for him because he was aware of the 15 other capable players outside the dungeon waiting to take his place . This sort of pressure acted as motivation for the active members to perform well .
He knew the mistake he made was very avoidable .
If Lu Li was really going to substitute him out, then he wouldn't argue .
But how would his own sister look at him afterwards…?
Someone suddenly held his hands; Lonesome Flower looked back and saw March Rain's smile . He could tell that March Rain wasn't disappointed that her older brother made a mistake and got scolded . Her expression told her that he was still the big brother that she had always looked up to .
