After Azure Sea Breeze died and Wandering was sacrificed, everyone else exited the battle safely. They revived the two players before sitting down to have some food.

Why didn’t you resurrect me earlier?
Azure Sea Breeze felt depressed.
Wandering was frustrated and had no one else to take it out on but his good friend.

It’s all your fault. You can’t even tank properly, yet you call yourself the best tank.


Alright, let’s keep going. Wandering did a good job just then and sacrificed himself for everyone. We should all be grateful towards him,
Lu Li said shamelessly, completely forgetting the fact that he was the first to run away.
Then again, the battle had just started a few minutes ago. It was better for them to start over rather than waste Resurrect this early on.

Brothers, I will succeed this time,
Azure Sea Breeze declared as he rushed at the Boss. This time, he tried to use the method that Lu Li had talked about. He realized that this technique was actually rather helpful, but it came at a cost. When he made a mistake and died, everyone else also died.

How many times has it been? This must be either the 18th or 19th time,
Wandering said weakly.

Don’t you see that I’ve almost got it?
Azure Sea Breeze asked as he went over to Lu Li’s Maintenance Robots so that they could fix his equipment for him. Most of his Shield’s durability was almost depleted.
The Maintenance Robots here were a must-have for First Clears. Otherwise, they would have to waste time going back to town to repair their equipment.
Of course, using robots to repair their equipment also came at a cost. It was at least 20% more expensive than doing it in town.
In addition, the Maintenance Robots themselves were very valuable and were a luxury for most normal guilds. Although Ruling Sword was considered a normal guild, they had no shortage of money and Lu Li was making these robots himself.

Lu Li, we have no hope of defeating this last Boss,
Hachi Chan sighed pitifully.
After being wiped over and over, this little girl was physically and mentally exhausted.
For someone who wasn’t that interested in doing Instance Dungeons, it was alright when the progress went smoothly, but they would be quick to get tired when they hit a wall.

This is definitely quite difficult, particularly because its sleep skill is too strong,
Lu Li laughed bitterly. He had thought that they had a chance at defeating the Boss, but they hadn’t even come close so far.
However, the situation was even worse than it seemed. They hadn’t entered the third stage of the fight yet, where Balnazzar was his most powerful. In this stage, he would turn into a terrifying demon that even Baron Rivendare didn’t stand a chance against.
Balnazzar knew eight skills – Rain of Chaos, Sleep, Psychic Scream, Vampirism Aura, Mind Control, Mind Blast, Earthquake and Painful Touch.
Throughout the battle, Vapirism Aura, Sleep and Rain of Chaos were used more often. Mind Blast was introduced in the first stage, while Psychic Scream and Earthquake were introduced in the second. In the third stage, he would cast Painful Touch, which could instantly kill any Plate-Armored target, along with Mind Control, which could control one of the players. Earthquake was his area of effect skill, and it was used when the players couldn’t reach the third stage within 30 minutes. This was usually what wiped teams.
Mind Blast and Rain of Chaos were manageable, as long as they had a good healer.
However, Sleep would often the healers, limiting their effectiveness. If this ever happened, the entire team would have to give up and begin a new attempt.
At this time, Azure Sea Breeze was level 47 and the Boss was level 52. He was frequently struck by Critical Hits, which often put him at risk of dying. As such, when March Rain was put to sleep, he was unable to withstand the Boss’ attacks.
In all the times that they had gotten wiped, most of these was because their Healer was put to sleep.
On their best attempt, they managed to reach the third stage, but they were mercilessly wiped all the same.
The strategists outside had no idea either. After all, no strategy could solve the problem of the Main Tank being too weak to withstand the Boss’ attacks. Unless there were several significant changes to his already exquisite equipment, success was just a fool’s dream.
Moreover, he still had a long way to go in terms of EXP. He would have to farm for at least 3-5 days to reach level 48, so narrowing the level gap wasn’t a feasible plan either.

Maybe we could try better Priest equipment. Strategists, collect some Cloth equipment from the guild and I’ll talk to Water Fairy,
Lu Li said after thinking for a while. He felt like this was the only way.
If they improved March Rain’s tenacity, she would be released from the sleeping state more quickly. This way, the Main Tank wouldn’t have to go for as long without healing.
However, this would reduce her healing ability which could affect them in the long run.

What? You’re fighting the last Boss already?
Water Fairy asked. She was surprised to hear that Lu Li was talking about fighting Balnazzar.
Drizzle Court was currently fighting Ramstein the Gorger and was stuck.

I have encountered some difficulties. Do your Priests have better equipment to escape crowd control?
Lu Li’s personal relationship with their Priests was not great, so he had to ask through Water Fairy.

So you’re looking for control equipment… I’ll need to ask. Wait a second,
Water Fairy responded awkwardly.
When she said she would ask, she actually meant that she needed to talk to her guild about it. After all, their strongest Priest, Star Baby, was there with them trying to get the First Clear too.
If they gave Lu Li her equipment, they might not want to try anymore.
While explaining the situation to her own team, the Drizzle Court team was naturally surprised at Ruling Sword’s progress. They hadn’t even gotten past the Undead monsters yet, but ruling Sword was already fighting the final Boss in the Scarlet Zone.
They were a little frustrated at their progress, but the question of lending equipment raised a huge disagreement in the group.
Of course, the majority were opposed to the idea, especially their Strategists.
Drizzle Court’s Strategists were facing more pressure than usual as they had been repeatedly attacked for using Ruling Sword’s strategies. They were now trying to prove that they were just as capable.
Now, if they were to ruin their own progress to help Ruling Sword, it would put the Strategists in an even harder spot.
