Chapter 979: 979
"Seventh Heaven – the match today is against Seventh Heaven . Is that too troublesome?" Square Root 3 asked after he returned from drawing the raffle .

This was the third match of the competition . They hadn't run into any strong players in the previous two matches, but now they were matched up against Seventh Heaven . No matter how confident he was about his own guild, Square Root 3 also knew that Seventh Heaven wouldn't be an easy opponent .
Not to mention, Lucky Southern Persian had become a legend now .
With his Legendary staff, he had begun to dominate all the other Mages . His existence made players like Sorrowless and Unforgettable Maple seem dull; he was now the God of this class group .
Lu Li immediately thought of Lucky Southern Persian the moment he heard that they were matched up against Seventh Heaven .
His Legendary staff had a special effect; it made Polymorph into an instant cast spell . Once you pointed at a target, they would become a sheep, over and over again . This meant that he could render one opponent in a group match totally useless .
Lu Li wasn't afraid of him because he had a lot of ways to remove crowd-control effects and most of the times, Thieves struck first . He was confident that he could take down his opponent first .
However, this was a different story for the others, especially March Rain . Once she was unable to do anything, Ruling Sword would face a situation where they had no healers, and they would lose the group match without a doubt .
This wasn't them overthinking; Seventh Heaven had already won multiple matches with this tactic .
Elevenless from Wings of Dawn, Lucky Southern Persian from Seventh Heaven, Kitty Likes Meat from Ruling Sword – these three were competitors this season that everyone discussed the most . They all had the ability to determine the outcome of a match .

"It's alright to lose one or two matches; it won't affect us from entering into the top 16," Square Root 3 assured upon seeing that Lu Li's expression looked very serious .
"It's best to not lose when we can avoid it . How long is it until the match?" Lu Li asked as he shook his head .
"About another six or seven hours . The match is in the afternoon . "
Square Root 3 had no clue why Lu Li was so determined; the points would be reset after the top 16 had been decided . Some guilds would even lose matches on purpose .
It wasn't new for people to be controlling the wins and losses of competitions .
For example, guilds like Ruling Sword with enough points to enter the top 16 could choose to lose a particular match on purpose . Of course, their opponent would definitely have to pay them a huge sum of money .
There were plenty of guilds out there who were willing to spend money to not get disqualified . Not every guild was as poor as Ruling Sword .
Lu Li contacted his own team members, a group of twenty players from the Xin Xin Mercenary Group and competitors from the club . He had also found a few trustworthy players from the guild .

The Badlands were located in the eastern part of Azeroth . Over the ground flowed hot lava, and the air swirled with fire . There wasn't even the slightest cool zone in this arid land . Only plants like cactuses could survive in such harsh conditions .
However, the Badlands were rich with Mithril and Thorium, so there were still many players who were willing to withstand the heat here for the minerals .
The Trolls patrolled this area and their footsteps shook the continent as they wandered and searched for those who were in trouble . The lions hid in the valleys, patiently awaiting their chance to move . Young dragons that were hunting flew past the sky, along with the Rockjaws and Dark Iron Dwarves . This was the reason why this place was referred to as the Badlands .
The first thing that Lu Li and the others encountered upon arrival was a battle .
This was why he had teamed up with so many players; even an average level 55 monster was beyond his ability . It was a death wish to try and Stealth between these monsters .
"Who are we looking for?" Azure Sea Breeze didn't like the weather here; he was covered in heavy, plated armor .
"A Dwarf – his name is Theldurin the Lost, originally a member of the Twilight Hammer . He later on left the Hammer and escaped with the help of his two friends," Lu Li explained . "In one of the stories about the Earth Elemental Princess, it said that when Theldurin escaped, he brought a Scroll of Myzrael with him .
"What does the Scroll of Myzrael do?" Listening to Lu LI's stories at least helped everyone redirect their attention from the heat .
"Myzrael is the name of the Earth Elemental Princess . The scroll, of course, is used to summon her," Lu Li continued as he ripped off his face cover . In an environment like this, he wanted to take of all his equipment, but he knew that this was impossible . The dangerous monsters here prevented him from doing so .

Their destination was on a hill near Aggramar's Hammer . Once they climbed on, they would run into a trio of three NPCs, Theldurin the Lost (Dwarf), Lucien Tosselwrench (Gnome) and Martek the Exiled (Tauren) .
"Don't worry, we're not bad people," Lu Li said as he called for a halt .
His team of twenty had frightened the NPC trio and they almost attacked them . They tried their best to contain themselves after Lu Li called stop, but clearly, they were still on guard .
"Hachi Chan, come here," Lu Li beckoned as he took two steps back .
This was how awkward it was to have a low Charm level . Not only did he fail to activate the quest, but they probably would have even entered battle if he didn't react fast enough .
"We're wandering adventures . Do you guys happen to know an uncle called Theldurin?" Hachi Chan asked based on what Lu Li had told him . Her appearance immediately made the anxiety in the air disappear .
"Mmm, I am child . What is it that you want?" the Dwarf asked as he placed down his weapon .
Lu Li felt sorry for himself . Even if reincarnation didn't make him invincible, at the very least, it didn't have to make him so hated by all .
"I heard that you have a Scroll of Myzrael . I want to know what it's used for, uncle…"
Hachi Chan asked for information straight up . If it was Lu Li who had asked like this, chances were, he would most likely get a punch in the face .
However, Hachi Chan had no need to beat around the bush . The way that she attempted quests had always been simple and plain .
She was a famous player in the forums and had written plenty of guides for quests, but no one dared to attempt them with her methods . Not only were the chances of failure too high, but they were also often accompanied by life threatening experiences .
Not everyone was fortunate enough to be the daughter or son of the System .
"Scr…Scroll of Myzrael?! Why would you want that for? Its strong magic summons Myzrael; we'd be in big trouble then!" Theldurin the Lost exclaimed .
"Uncle, don't worry . My friends will protect me," Hachi Chan assured as she patted her flat chest .
"I'm not questioning the strength of your friends," Theldurin the Lost began . He had been placed in a bit of an awkward spot .
"It's just…unfortunately, it has been destroyed . The elementals stole the scroll and ripped it into pieces . If you could collect these pieces, we might be able to repair it back to its original form . "
"Where do these elementals live?" Hachi Chan asked .
Theldurin showed her the location where the elementals spawned, and had the Gnome apply a refreshing buff onto Lu Li and the others . Everyone instantly felt the heat leave their bodies .
This apparently was the blessing that the NPC gave to everyone because he felt sorry for Hachi Chan bearing with the heat .
