The two guards did not last long. Although Azure Sea Breeze was steadily tanking the Boss’ attacks, the aggro generated by the high damage output of those guards prompted the Boss to cast its area of effect attacks on them.
The ultimate skills that Lu Li told everyone to save up were being used at this point.
Undoubtedly, these two guards had provided a great deal of assistance. If they weren’t there, Lu Li and the others would have gotten wiped a dozen times before they would have been lucky enough to make it into the third stage.
In fact, in the early days, all players needed to go to Marshal Maxwell for help.
He would give the players a few bottles of the resistance potion, though far less than what was given to Hachi Chan, and send guards to help in the fight. The players could choose between Warrior guards, Scout guards or Mage Guards.


Different guards came at a different price. The scouts had the highest attack but were also the most expensive.
Many teams that tried to complete this Instance Dungeon would lose money because of the amount that was given to Marshall Maxwell. Marshal Maxwell profited greatly until an update came that nerfed General Drakkisath.
The third stage of General Drakkisath involved the use of a similar skill to Inner Demon.
This skill could probably be categorised as a curse. After the player was hit, a demon would be summoned from the player. That demon had the same attributes and skills as the player and would fight the player until one of them was killed.
The worst part about this skill was that only the player could attack their demon.
If the healer was targeted, it would be fine as their healing skills could actually deal more damage to the demon than most other attacking skills. The worst outcome would be if a defensive profession was targeted.
If their Defense was very high, then the demon’s Defense would also be very high.
If their Attack was also quite low, then it would be a very troublesome fight.
Some commanders would tell their Defense-profession players to give up fighting their demon. The demon wouldn’t have high Attack anyway, and wouldn’t cause fatal damage to the Main Tank.
However, this strategy was not without consequences.


If you didn’t kill the demon, it would slowly grow in three stages. Initially, when it was first summoned, it would simply attack the player.
The second phase would come after five minutes of its summoning. A halo would be generated at its feet which produced an aura that would increase the Boss’ Attack, Defense and Critical Hit by 10%. After the Boss was nerfed, this wouldn’t be an issue, but for now, this 10% increase was a real problem.
The third stage would come after 10 minutes of its summoning. If they couldn’t kill the Boss or demon by this time…
Then there was no point playing anymore. The Boss would seize the demon and consume it to regenerate half of its HP and permanently gain an Attack, Defense and Critical Hit bonus. The Boss would also return to the second stage, so they would have gone backwards.
There was no reason to allow the Boss to enter the third stage; it was just a waste of time.

Make sure to kill your demon as quickly as possible. Healers, keep them healthy. Even Breezy and Wandering need to do this. Do whatever you need to do – you guys can even use your scrolls,
Lu Li said. He knew that Azure Sea Breeze and Wandering were holding onto some scrolls.
Dawn was an open PVP game, and no matter who you were or what class you played, there was a chance that you could be cut down in the wild.
There were some perverts who were particularly fond of killing Healers and Defensive-professions.
Azure Sea Breeze and Wandering had faced this before, and they obviously didn’t want it to happen to them again. As such, they both went to Shen Wansan to buy some burst scrolls.
These scrolls were very valuable and would usually cost a few thousand dollars. Once used, the scrolls would be consumed.


These scrolls basically converted money into temporary strength. They increased the Attack of the user. This wouldn’t be enough in a PVP match, but it was more than enough against ordinary players.
When they heard Lu Li say that, the two tanks immediately looked distressed.
However, they also understood the importance of this fight. There was only one chance to fight General Drakkisath. Once the two guards died, they would likely not be able to do this again. The attempts following this one would be a string of defeats.
If they got repeatedly wiped, they would need to repair their equipment. The cost of repairing Plate Armor was ridiculous; it might cost at least a few hundred gold.
Lu Li’s inner demon was killed relatively quickly. A Thief’s Defense was very low and Lu Li’s Attack was very high.
The Inner Demon summoned had the same Attributes and skills as the player, but this was useless without the knowledge to use them. Lu Li just kept up the crowd-control from start to finish.
However, the feeling of killing yourself was very strange and the players had an uncomfortable expression when they did it.

I didn’t think the day would come when I would have to kill myself. Does this count as suicide?
Jaweika sighed.

If you keep following us, you will see even weirder stuff than this,
Azure Sea Breeze laughed. He had gained a little fame in his previous games, but since he met Lu Li in Dawn, he had come to truly understand how the top players operated.

Breezy bro, how many scrolls have you used?
Jaweika asked.



Dammit, why isn’t it dead yet? This is my third one. I will definitely need some compensation today Lu Li. These scrolls are really expensive,
Azure Sea Breeze cried out. He was distressed as he had spent a few hundred gold at least.
Azure Sea Breeze just wanted to use his money to see the world, and he had told Jaweika that he could do the same if he followed Lu Li, but now, he was forced to spend all this money.
Azure Sea Breeze and Wandering significantly improved their Attack after using the scrolls, but they still couldn’t match the damage output of a professional player. This meant that it was unlikely that they could kill their demon within the first stage.
As such, General Drakkisath quickly gained the buffs of two inner demons.
This gave him a 20% increase in Attack, Defense and Critical Hit. The already exhausted General Drakkisath now appeared to be revitalized.

Breezy, don’t bother fighting the Boss and just focus on your inner demon. If you don’t finish it off within 5 minutes, then we might as well just wait and die,
Lu Li commanded. It really would become impossible if they were sent backwards.

Dammit, you really do have to compensate me for this loss!
Azure Sea Breeze shouted as he pulled out a golden scroll and ripped it open.
The shape of the Main Tank suddenly began to change and the damage he was taking from the Boss also significantly reduced. The damage that he was dealing to his inner demon had also dramatically increased.
