Chapter 1878: Attumen the Huntsman
My name is Attumen the Huntsman, and I am but one of Medivh’s servants who keeps horses .
Medivh rarely left his home and would often just teleport if he needed to go somewhere, so there was no real need for horses . These horses were instead kept for the needs of Moroes .
Master Medivh had never really paid close attention to me, and I just wanted to live a peaceful life with my Midnight .
In the early days, I would go out each day to get the freshest forage to feed Midnight and comb Midnight’s hair until it shined . But one day, Master Medivh decided on a whim that he wanted to go horse riding .
He was quite a big person, and I didn’t get to see him very often .
One day, there was a man and one woman in the castle . One of them was called Kagdgar or Khadgar, the name doesn’t matter . There was another one called Garona, and I almost laughed when he saw her because she was so ugly .
The two people lived and studied in the castle and brought a lot of stories with them .
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to me .
I lived in the castle and gradually heard stories about the outside world . I heard about what had happened to the Orcs, but I thought that he was safe . I was Master Medivh’s horse breeder after all .
I will never understand why Lothar, the person who had occasionally visited me and my horses, was leading an attack on my master . But I was just a horse breeder, so I trembled as I hid in the stables . I was unsure of what would happen next .
Master Medivh was eventually defeated, but I was sure that it was partially because he was unwilling to kill his friends .
I thought that my master was the most powerful guardian in the world . How could a Paladin without a horse, a tactless Mage and an ugly woman beat him?
They killed Master Medivh, and still didn’t pay any attention to me .
At this time, I was thinking of what I should do next, now that Master Medivh was dead . I thought that I should find a new job, but fortunately, Butler Moroes told me that I could stay here and continue raising horses— I could keep raising Midnight .
I don’t know why, but Butler Moroes suddenly became a lot scarier and my Midnight had also changed .
But none of that mattered . As long as I wasn’t being driven away, and I could be with Midnight, that was enough .
Today, there are some new guests in the castle . I can hear their voices and they are coming closer towards me . Should I just keep hiding in the stable?
No, I will fight them . I am Master Medivh’s horse breeder, Attumen .
And I am not just an ordinary horse breeder either!
If they want to take away Midnight from me, they can do it over my dead body .
“These are just horses . How do we fight them?” Azure Sea Breeze asked as he looked around the stable for the Boss .

“Let’s clear out the monsters nearby first . Dreamy, pull some of the monsters here slowly,” Lu Li took a more cautious attitude . When he came here in his previous life, everyone was already at level 70 and some people even had equipment from this Instance Dungeon . It was hard to say how strong they were, but they were at least as strong as they are now .
In addition, when acquiring the First Clear, the monsters were usually relatively stronger . So, they couldn’t just pull all the monsters at once with an area of effect skill .
If they just pulled the monsters, then it wouldn’t make much of a difference . But if they accidentally pulled the Boss as well, then it would all be over .
Lu Li now had equipment that dropped upon death, so he didn’t want the team to get wiped if he could avoid it .
After all the monsters in the area around the Boss had been dealt with, Azure Sea Breeze rushed in to start the fight . Some players even got their mounts out to further taunt the Boss .
“Come on Midnight, let us destroy these meddlers together,” Attumen shouted as he climbed onto his mount and launched an attack onto Azure Sea Breeze .
“Dammit, his damage is pretty high,” Azure Sea Breeze grunted . This was the first time he fought a level 70 Boss . Compared to the level 60+ Bosses, the difference was quite noticeable . The normal attacks were dealing 2500+ damage, and if someone with Cloth armour was taking the hits, it would be more than 5000 damage .
If a critical hit landed on someone with Cloth armour, they would get one shot .
“Pay attention to your position,” Lu Li deliberately stood beside Azure Sea Breeze to experience the Cleave skill that the Boss would often use and immediately lost 80% of his HP .
The equipment they had seemed pretty bad now . No wonder they couldn’t defeat Elevenless .

After a few attacks, the Boss suddenly rushed to Carnivorous Cat and dealt 5000 damage with a single stab . She was left with a smidge of HP which scared her so much that she immediately transformed into a Demon .
The response of a professional player was very quick, but it was heightened by the fact that she had been frightened .
This overwhelmingly quick reaction saved her life as the second attack landed when she was in Demon form . It gave March Rain enough time to heal her as Azure Sea Breeze re-taunted the Boss .
When Lu Li came to this Instance Dungeon his previous life, the random charge skill existed but there was only one attack instead of two .
The Boss would charge at a random player and attack once before returning to the Main Tank . It didn’t make much sense, but this change was probably made so that ordinary players could defeat this Boss .
“Keep your HP full and be ready to apply damage reduction at any time . Cat is a good example . If she didn’t die, then neither should you . I will deduct points if you do,” Lu Li took the opportunity to put a bit of pressure on everybody .
If they lost players in the first stage, it would be because the Main Tank wasn’t doing their job properly . But Azure Sea Breeze was such a veteran that it wasn’t something they had to worry about . The main problem was the random charges the Boss did since the cloth armoured professions could easily get one shot by it . But once you accounted for these two things, they easily entered the second stage .
The second stage began when the Boss reached 50% HP .
At this point, Attumen the Huntsman would jump off the horse and fight separately from Midnight, becoming two separate Bosses .
Wandering immediately started pulling Midnight without Lu Li’s orders . If there were two Bosses, it was better for each Boss to be pulled separately . Otherwise, the risk of the main tank getting one shot by an unexpected skill was too high .

Attumen now also had a Cyclone skill, so Lu Li and his team had to quickly adjust and attack Attumen from a long range . The melee players were now congregated around Midnight and attacking it . They kept the two Bosses slightly apart .
The random charge from the first stage still existed, and both Bosses could do it which made it even more difficult .
Fortunately, they had two healers – March Rain and Hachi Chan . With so many ways to survive, they managed to enter the third stage which triggered when the Boss was below 25% HP . Attumen would feel at this point that the current strategy wasn’t working, so he would get back onto his horse .
At this stage, there was another area of effect curse skill .
Lu Li activated the trump card that Garona had given him . In addition to the March Rain’s readiness with Mass Dispel, they managed to get through the stage .
In fact, this Boss actually required three Healers . But Lu Li’s team’s two healers and two Main Tanks were so strong that the lack of a third healer didn’t feel like much of a weakness .
