Such a powerful Boss could even also go Berserk .
However, he wasn’t the type that went Berserk at a low HP . Rather . he would start going Berserk at half HP . Actually, it would be more appropriate to call it a moment of rage . Not only did his attack speed increase, but he would also throw his own mallet .
This would one-shot anyone .
Moreover, he could also cast a group fear . Even though the area of the fear wasn’t large, the Main Tank would be left unable to escape .
Those who were unaffected couldn’t relax either, as they would be targeted and Charged at by Maulgar .
It would be okay if the Main Tank could aggro the Boss in time . If not, then the team would get destroyed .
These were some of the mechanisms of High King Maulgar . It would be even more difficult to fight him in reality .
However, this wasn’t the end to all the troubles . To fight this Boss, you also couldn’t ignore the four followers he brought with him –Firehand the Mage, the Warlock summoner Omer, Priest Blindeye the Seer, and Chichler the Madman Shaman .
Each of these four followers had different professions, and formed an elite monster team that partnered with the Boss .
With the current ability of players, even a core elite team of a super club with exquisite equipment wouldn’t even stand a chance against High King Maulgar and his four followers .
At a stage where everyone’s equipment was still lacking, the difficulty of High King Maulgar surpassed Gruul .
In fact, the smaller monsters at the entrance were also not be underestimated . A 25-man team were shredded through within minutes . The saving grace of this Instance Dungeon was that you could escape . After all, behind them was the entrance . If they could no longer fight, then Lu Li would command a retreat and the rest of the players would escape using their own abilities,
After all, smaller monsters were smaller monsters . They could block a majority of teams, but they couldn’t hold Ruling Sword outside forever .
“Dreamy, try to use Misdirection on a smaller monster and lead it out here . ”
Lu Li had been wiped a few times and didn’t want to continue anymore . Hence, he started to take advantage of being reborn .
This Instance Dungeon had a bug . In the earliest period, Gruul’s Lair was easier than Magtheridon’s Lair, and was even easier than Karazhan .
Of course, the bug did not involve leading away the smaller monsters .
Hence, everyone was wiped as a team again .
Lu Li pretended to be deep in thought, then pointed at another smaller monster to let Remnant Dream try again .

They tried this time and time again, but were wiped four times . By the fifth time, Lu Li pointed at the Boss and said to Remnant Dream, “Trying using Misdirection on him . You lead Breezy, then pretend to die . Don’t mess it up . ”
Even though Remnant Dream wasn’t keen, she still loyally obeyed Lu Li’s order .
There wasn’t a great cost in wiping . Only Remnant Dream and Azure Sea Breeze were killed because they were too close to the Boss and had drawn aggro .
This time around, everyone was still prepared to run . Nobody had any objections to Lu Li’s command .
However, no one really thought that doing this would actually work .
Just as everyone was prepared to make a run for it again, an astounding scene unfolded .
“Sand sculptures! Don’t run! They’re coming – see, you guys, he’s coming! This time it’s just one the Boss!” Azure Sea Breeze cried out .
Whenever Lu Li experimented in a First Clear, it almost always ended with Azure Sea Breeze dying .
There wasn’t much to say if everyone died together, but Azure Sea Breeze didn’t think of himself as special . The key was that everyone could escape together and only he had to die . As for Remnant Dream, as long as she played dead, the Boss would just treat her as a corpse .
Because of this, he felt unfairly treated .

Everyone locked their eyes and saw that the Boss had really come over by himself .
This Boss was hard, but it wasn’t hard to the point that everyone was afraid . A Boss on its own without any backup was especially easy to kill . Hence, everyone started to return to their positions .
Lu Li commanded Azure Sea Breeze to pull the Boss close to where the entrance of the Instance Dungeon was . The Boss’ four followers were left alone, which made it easier for everyone to escape when the team was wiped . Thus, this new strategy was put into practice .
Without the four followers, High King Maulgar was just a slightly stronger than usual Boss .
At 50% HP, the Boss entered into a rage, which placed some pressure on the team .
After Maulgar calmed down, he would continue to cast Whirlwind . Sometimes they would be unlucky and be struck consecutively, which killed a number of players .
“No need to stress – only two people are gone!” Lu Li yelled . “Fat Monkey, if you dare run towards the Instance Dungeon entrance, I will deduct your guild points right now . ”
“Yes, deduct him! How shameful to not fight and run!” Azure Sea Breeze added .
“Fine, I won’t run then,” Fat Monkey huffed as he resentfully turned around and continued to attack the Boss .
“No one takes it easy until Breezy dies . Until I say so, the first person to run will have 20 points deducted . The second person to run will have 10 points deducted . ”

Lu Li felt a little regretful now . He shouldn’t have given everyone a route of retreat . They thought about running whenever they couldn’t fight .
They would only drop some equipment if they died . This was nothing compared to losing 20 points . Sometimes, 20 points was enough to claim a piece of equipment .
After being wiped three times, the High King Maulgar fell .
Lu Li and the others also suffered heavy losses . At the end, there was barely anyone left standing . After all, High King Maulgar’s mallet was accurate with every throw, and whoever was hit was instantly killed .
After High King Maulgar fell, a number of players received Skill Points .
This was the attraction of First Clears; the equipment actually didn’t really matter . The main thing was still Skill Points .
There were two exquisite gems . Lu Li didn’t take them, and instead took the Skills Book dropped by the Boss .
This Skill Book was called “Lying in Wait” . It wasn’t used to Enhance skills, but belonged to the set of new level 70 skills . After adding 5 points, it increased the damage done by 20% when casting Backstab, Garrotte or Ambush from behind .
Enhancing a skill’s damage by 20% was already an insane effect!
