Chapter 1415

Hope didn't mean that they would definitely succeed . However, after Lu Li saw hope, he started to constantly adjust everyone's positioning and reminded them how to cast their skills and position more efficiently . He used all types of methods and strategies to maximise everyone's fire resistance .
Besides this, he also tried all that he could to cut down the time they spent on each phase . Ragnaros was a boss that increased in difficulty the longer the fight dragged on . So, having everyone boost their damage output was a good way to increase their success rate . At the start, they had to be cautious, so everyone dealt damage carefully . However, now that they had seen everything Ragnaros could do, they could now focus on dealing damage .
Lu Li had grouped a lot of Berserkers and Thieves together, who would play the crucial role of damaging the boss .
After every minor adjustment, the boss was left with less health . They even reached the stage where the boss went berserk . This was a clear improvement that gave hope to everyone . Although they were all physically tired from the constant battling, mentally, they were more awake than ever . Once again, the battle drew close to its end, but the difference this time was the lower casualty rate .
"Now, deal as much damage as you can . Use whatever you've got! Any consumables used will be reimbursed by the guild," Lu Li commanded . He knew that their chance had come . They had a really good shot at taking down the boss this time . He even used a berserk potion that he had been keeping for a long time . Like a rare treasure, he had wanted to hold on to it for as long as possible .
Everyone else wasn't as cheap as he thought . When they needed to, they were more liberal with their consumables than Lu Li was .

Ragnaros started to grow impatient as his auto-attack speed increased . It seemed like he was about to go berserk . It wasn't realistic for the final boss of a large level 60 dungeon to hold back .
Apparently, a club that didn't care much about their pride had gone down to complete the dungeon in Elite mode, and they were getting close to Ragnaros as well . That difficulty was a lot easier than Nightmare mode . Although the dungeon design and the design of the bosses were almost entirely the same, just the fact that the boss had 20% less health was enough to put pressure on Ruling Sword .
If the boss had 20% less health in Nightmare mode as well, Lu Li would've already passed this stage with everyone a while ago .
"I've already casted some spells and special effects that have cooldowns for an entire day . If we fail this time, we'll have to wait until tomorrow," Wandering sighed . Right before his eyes, Azure Sea Breeze had already been brutally beaten to death by Ragnaros, who had gone berserk . As such, it was his turn to sacrifice himself .
"Stay put and don't do anything stupid because we might finally clear it!" Lu Li shouted loudly .
He kept asking everyone to play safe to persuade not only his team but also himself; he was just as anxious about this as everyone else .

Fortunately, Wandering wasn't a bad player . He grew up with Azure Sea Breeze and played almost identical games with similar experience . Azure Sea Breeze may have more raw talent, but Wandering was smarter and better at assessing the situation .
"World, if I can't hold it anymore, it'll be your turn next," Wandering turned to speak to World's Best Friend .
"Let me do it . You take a rest . "
World's Best Friend moved forward to taunt the boss which saved barely saved Wandering . He hadn't been doing much besides pulling a few monsters . He had a lot of life saving skills still remaining up his sleeves and was waiting for the right moment .
Without Azure Sea Breeze, World's Best Friend would also be good enough to play as the main tank for the club .
Ragnaros' last sliver of health was torture for them because team members kept dying . No one knew if the boss would defeat them with only a little bit of health remaining .
"As long as we don't make mistakes, we won't have an issue . Don't worry, just keep going," Lu Li reassured the team . He wasn't sure how many times he had repeated himself . It wasn't like the others couldn't hear him the first time, but he just felt the need to repeat it over and over again to make everyone feel a little more at peace .

"Eight thousand health points left . Bring him down! Warriors don't stop the damage," Lu Li desperately called out . There weren't many players left standing . Lu Li activated the special effect of his weapon and transformed into a demon .
Shard of the Defiler (Legendary): Damage 82-96 . Agility +80, Strength +60, Attack Speed +45%, 2 Slots . Special Effect 1: Deep Contamination, requires activation, reduces 30% of target's armour and movement speed, cooldown 120 seconds . Special Effects 2: Fatal Blow: when the target health drops below 20%, there is a chance to execute the target . Special Effects 3: Echo of Archimonde: Activate to transform into a demon, allowing the user to cast demonic skills, lasts for 30 seconds, useable once per day . Level Requirement 60, Durability 240/240 .
The special effect, Archimonde, had appeared after the upgrade of the dagger and allowed its owner to have three demon spells .
One was called Shadow Barrage, which effectively reduced the target's defence . The other was called Charging Soul, which absorbed the energy of all dead units in the area . The more units that died in the area, the more energy this skill absorbed . The last one was called Finger of Death and was a damaging skill .
These three skills worked in harmony – armour reduction, a damage boost and finally a damage skill .
However, the cooldown of this special effect lasted the entire day . Lu Li rarely had a chance to use it, but in one of his many tests, this special effect had proved itself to be extremely powerful .
The key was figuring out how much defence he could reduce, and how many souls he could use to charge himself up, maximising the damage of Finger of Death .
There were 40 players in this battle and 23 of them had died, which meant that Lu Li could charge 23 souls into his skill . The effect of Charging Soul was also dependent on the strength of these souls . The Shard of the Defiler stabbed right into the back of Ragnaros .
"The flames will eventually burn everything down! Your victory will not last long!" he roared in rage . His body became unstable as flames and lava shot out everywhere . Some players who couldn't dodge in time died from the eruption .
Even so, they had done it!
His last attack had dealt around two to three thousand points of damage . Alongside the effort of others, everyone finally took down the troublesome boss after two days .
However, no one felt tired . Everyone that survived laughed and jumped, celebrating the tough victory . Success was more valuable after a long struggle .
This joy was even greater than their anticipation towards the equipment drops . Of course, some people cared more about the loot than the joy of defeating Ragnaros . Players like Remnant Dream and Lu Li immediately turned their eyes to Ragnaros' loot .
System: Congratulations to Ruling Sword, who, led by their commander Lu Li, have successfully been the first to complete the 40-man raid dungeon – Molten Core (Nightmare Mode) .
