Chapter 1268: Bygraves Down

Translator: Halcyon Translations  Editor: Halcyon Translations

It was easy to search up the information of a regular offender. With money, many intel agents were happy to sell their information.

Scarlet New Moon had only just sent out the bounty to the guild and someone had immediately turned it in. The best part was that they even returned the third missing piece. With Lu Li taking the two pieces from the scavenger himself, all the pieces had returned.

Lu Li was in the middle of battling with Bygraves and had managed to drop this old Orc’s health to 20%.

After he heard of the news, Lu Li was a lot happier.

As for the reward, he was going to keep his promise. He had Square Root 3 pick two Dark Gold equips from the storage to hand to the two players that participated in killing the bounty target. Both items were level 55 and exquisite.

The equipment that the Hunter received had even been previously worn by Remnant Dream. She had the luckiest hands in dawn Dawn, so it was not hard to imagine what kind of Attributes her equipment had.

This was how guild bounties usually played out.

Outsiders don’t receive much as a reward to prevent others from using this as an easy way to earn money. After all, dying once wasn’t a big deal; scavengers couldn’t care less about their experience.

However, this was a different story for players from the guild. Dark Gold equipment was a common reward, and guild points often given out as well. This was like a mini-event for the members. Profit was maintained within the guild and it encouraged players to participate in things together, building a team atmosphere.

The battle had already lasted for half an hour and victory was within sight, but Lu Li became even more careful at this point.

Countless Ruling Sword Thieves were spread around in the area to stop other scavengers from entering. The three Dark Gold equips wouldn’t have been too dearly missed, but if they lost a Legendary, that would be a real issue. At this point, even if the elites were to go and attempt Blackrock Spiral, the whole trip might not even drop a single Legendary for them. Lu Li and his own crew only received so many because it was a First Clear on Nightmare mode.

There were also six hundred-man teams waiting on the side as reinforcements – three from Ruling Sword and three from Drizzle Court.

Bygraves was a Berserker and could kill players in an instant, so there were limited numbers who could participate in the battle. A hundred Alliance soldiers and 200 ranged players was the maximum. After they took out the Horde soldiers, everyone else could only watch on the side as Lu Li and the others fought.

At first, they couldn’t believe what they were seeing, but now, everyone excepted that Lu Li was probably Super Saiyan.

Of course, they wouldn’t try to report Lu Li for using a bug like the scavenger. Instead, they hoped that Lu Li was strong as possible. The stronger Lu Li was, the further Ruling Sword could go, and this meant that they would receive more in the future.

They had seen much more than that scavenger – a bountiful harvest of rare items.

There were so many unexpected possibilities in Dawn. Plenty of stories told of players who grew wealthy or powerful within a night. Ordinary people could only admire from a distance, and only useless people would choose to be jealous.

“Watch out – he’s going to go berserk! Everyone, try your best to protect yourselves. Healers, heal me and Water Fairy. Team 3, leave. Have the healers from team 22 come in. Keep healing and don’t stop. Team 23 healers, remain on standby,” Lu Li instructed, then reminded Scarlet New Moon to stay on alert. This would be the worst time to let their guard down.

If they were given the chance, plenty of players in Dawn would be happy to risk their lives to steal the loot of a level 65 Boss.

Lu Li, before he reincarnated, would be a prime example. In the past, he had tried to steal an equip in this way, but none of the major guilds were fools. It was a dream for anyone to even enter in the first place, and he had never found the chance. In fact, he died a few times in the process trying.

“Damned Elf! Someday, I’m going to kill all the Elves!” Bygraves roared. He was clearly upset; it didn’t feel right for him to die so easily.

However, the buff on Lu Li and Water Fairy was too strong. Bygraves could tell that someone truly powerful really wanted him to die. This buff can’t easily be given by anyone.

Who could it be?

Who was it, that had used so much power for him? If this person could buff others with this status, they could probably kill him easily with one hand. Why would they have adventurers come to kill him instead?

Lu Li watched anxiously at Bygraves’ health bar until the moment for him to go Berserk had finally arrived.

Not all bosses went Berserk before they died, but it was a guaranteed move for Berserker bosses.

The two players that were closer to him were lightly scraped and died, because the range of his attacks had increased.

Lu Li took the brunt of the damage.

Bright red numbers flew from him; these were all critical strikes. Ten thousand points of health disappeared in an instant.

“Heal, heal!” Lu Li shouted.

He had 80000 health and could tank eight attacks from the boss, but this wasn’t just simple arithmetic. Although Lu Li could take eight attacks, the healers couldn’t possibly heal 80000 HP in the timespan of eight attacks. Even with 20 healers working together, it was impossible.

The healers furiously cast their skills as their mana bars were rapidly depleted. After a team of healers ran out of mana, the next would take over.

The others did their best to deal damage while the Boss’ defense dropped due to the Berserk. Victory was within sight. As long as Lu Li survived, it was only a matter of time before they won.

With Lu Li and Water Fairy both buffed by such a strong status, and Bygraves being a standard Boss bound by the System’s laws, the result was certain if fate allowed.

“Who is it?”

After he went berserk, Bygraves, who had begun to weaken, knelt one knee on the ground. His life was coming to an end.

“My teacher Garona sends you her regards,” Lu Li knelt down and whispered into his ear.

“It’s that half-Orc; she betrayed her own vow. You’ve all betrayed the vow between the Horde and the Alliance. The chief won’t let any of you go,” Bygraves coughed, then grit his teeth and cursed, “All the souls that have died by my hands will curse you all forever. You all will suffer all the tortures of this world…”

“If spirits really do exist, then you’ll have a lot of friends in hell waiting for your arrival,” Lu Li said as he pressed his dagger against Bygraves’ neck and with force, cut off the old Orc’s head.

System: Congratulations to Lu Li, Water Fairy… for taking the First Clear of the Horde commander, Bygraves!

This was a world announcement. Of course, players from both factions that were battling in Hillsbrad also heard it. Everyone was surprised by how the couple could kill a Horde commander, but they had no clue who this commander really was. Was he just a civil officer that had died within a few hits?

The ordinary players continued with what they were doing; the Hillsbrad battle didn’t end just because the commander had died.

In fact, players found it much easier to take over campsites without the commander. Once they took over a campsite, Experience and Reputation would continuously be given to them.

The professional players were slightly surprised, but this also confirmed to them that the level 65 Boss wasn’t as strong as they thought. Sorrowless was still trying to kill Shandris, the future Night Elf Boss who was also set at level 65 by the game. Regardless of health, defense or attack, she was similar to Bygraves.

Without the buff of Prayer of the Moon Goddess, Sorrowless brought Shandris’ health down to less than half. This truly showed how strong Glory Capital was.

Both elite groups and master players from the guild were considerably stronger than Ruling Sword. Sorrowless also had his own talent in terms of commanding a battle. It was mostly the tanks who died – after all, they didn’t have Lu Li to tank the Boss for them.

After he heard the System announcement, Sorrowless wasn’t angry – instead, he was filled with confidence.

Shandris looked proud and cold, which scared Sorrowless a little. It felt to him like she had some sort of trump card hidden up her sleeves. Now that he heard that Lu Li had already taken out the Horde commander, Sorrowless believed that the two commanders in this event really existed to be killed for loot.

“Remnant Dream, loot the items. Everyone else, gather around and secure this area. If our equipment gets stolen, everyone loses points,” Lu Li said as he took the others and turned to leave. He had no time to see what equipment had dropped as he needed to level up as much as he could while he still had the buff.

There were still plenty of monsters scattered around Hillsbrad. Some were higher than level 55, but Lu Li didn’t bother with them. The fastest way to level up right now was to take over the campsites of the enemy faction and kill the new guarding NPCs that refreshed from them.

As for Glory Capital, Lu Li wasn’t the least concerned for Shandris.

The Horde players would find out earlier than anyone else the wrath of Shandris’ group spells. Her signature move, Rage of the Moon Goddess, could possibly be revealed a little earlier. This was an even more terrifying spell than Tyrande’s Starfall. Rage of the Moon Goddess would blanket the entire area, leaving no room for escape.

Lu Li took a few teams around to take the campsites, but this didn’t stop him from hearing about the loot that Remnant Dream had begun to pick up.
