“What’s wrong?” The dwarf Raff looked at Elder Sewell in bafflement. “The operation looks good to me… does it need a special skill?”
Mr. Fang covered his face with his palms and said, “I meant putting that dog to sleep with the Hibernation Spell. Didn’t you guys learn some common terms before raiding an instance…”
“!!” Elder Sewell almost passed out in fury. “I was wondering about your strange command! I thought this mystical realm of the Blizzard Workshop had come up with something miraculous!”
“You could have asked me if you found it strange…”
“You just told me not to ask questions since you didn’t have time to explain…” Elder Sewell was frustrated.
Mr. Fang was at a loss for words.
“Forget it. Let’s do it again. Nanny, use the Hibernate spell to put one dog to sleep.”
“The spells in the real world have different names in the games.” Mr. Fang could only explain some basic terms. Usually, few people would explain these common terms to new players.
The players wouldn’t spend much effort to use or understand the formal names of the common skills or effects of different classes. Instead, they would give them vivid nicknames which had gradually become gaming terms.
These terms were vivid and easy to understand for old players, making directing a raid simple and efficient. But for new players who had just begun to understand all kinds of new information in the games, it was difficult to make the connection.
Right now, only a few big groups could take on an instance like Scarlet Monastery. “I’ll do a livestream and teach the beginners then.”
Since most players in the old shops had played games such as Diablo and could do raids by themselves after reading some guides, Mr. Fang put the livestream in the new shop.
“Ugh…?” Having just gotten offline, Dicas saw the big screen in the lounge area suddenly lighting up.
“Is the shop owner going to do a Spiritual Spell Visual Projection?” The mages accompanying her looked up at the big screen curiously.
Some orcs who had just entered the shop also looked over.
“He’s also doing Scarlet Monastery?!” Dicas froze.
As time went on, she had learned a lot while doing raids with old players and was no longer a newbie who knew nothing.
“Um… This name… Isn’t he the player who shouted outside the Scarlet Monastery that anyone could join his party?” one nearby player said.
“Anyone?” Many players froze.
After all, this was the most difficult instance so far in the game.
At this moment, Mr. Fang had begun the raid. As mentioned before, Houndmaster Loksey was indeed a small boss. With the assistance of Polymorph: Sheep and Hibernate spell, it was an easy raid since the members all had great strength and high-level combat skills in the real world.
The boss in the library was Arcanist Doan. Different from the original game, the boss in the system version could cast all the mage spells on that level, including Presence of Mind, Polymorph: Sheep, Blink, Frost Nova, and Arcane Explosion.
Of course, the only good news was that as a mage, this boss didn’t have a tough physical body as other classes and didn’t have as much HP.
“We can’t use a tank to take all the damage of this boss all the time,” Mr. Fang explained, “It can blink, which makes it impossible for warriors to hold it off. But it has lower resistance to some controls when it blinks. If we have the right conditions, we can attack it in the instant that it makes a move…
“For example, the rogue can use Gouge.”
The moment he said it, a light flashed as the boss cast Blink, but Fang Qi’s dagger heavily struck out almost at the same time.
The boss blinked and flew out. But when it flew before the druid, it fell into a controlled state!
“My goodness!”
“We can actually do this?!”
Not only the audience, but the members of the party froze at the scene as well.
“What are you waiting for? Quickly dish out damage!”
“If the tank makes a mistake, the players in the backline must fend themselves,” Mr. Fang added, “For example, the mage can blink out to survive, and the druid can change into a bear. You must react very quickly.”
Obviously, the thick-skinned bear was hard to be instantly killed, which meant that the team could still fight it out if all teammates came up in time and helped.
“I got it…” Understanding dawned on many players.
…
Led by Mr. Fang, the party made it narrowly.
“They… are actually doing the last zone now?!”
“How come it feels like… this instance isn’t too difficult…”
At this time, Mr. Fang led the four members to the last zone of the whole instance. It was a grand and magnificent cathedral, the end of this instance.
“As mentioned before, we must clear the mobs before we meet the boss. Otherwise, the boss would summon them over while we fight. Fighting from both ends will only lead to a team wipe-out.”
“Is that so…”
“So many Scarlet Crusaders…”
The battle was fierce and dangerous, but Fang Qi still gradually led his party to the boss.
The paladin dressed in blood-red armor was Mograine, the commander and leader of Scarlet Crusaders.
Some rumors said that he had taken the power and controlled the Scarlet Crusaders by killing his father.
There were also other rumors saying that Mograine killed his father since the latter didn’t approve of his love toward someone.
The old man demanded his son to strictly abide by the ancient creeds for the paladins and treat ladies with respect and good manners. Paladins had the duty to protect ladies but didn’t have the right to possess them because emotions and lust would weaken the paladins’ will to fight.
The paladins followed very strict creeds and ancient virtues of humility, honor, valor, sacrifice, mercy, faith, honesty, and justice.
This was why not many players changed to these classes such as paladin and priest despite the classes’ abilities with Holy Light and resurrection.
Not all players could abide by these creeds, nor could Mograine. Of course, the real reason was probably the temptation from demons.
Finally, he became a traitor detested by everyone.
“This boss is easy too,” Mr. Fang continued explaining.
“…”
“In your eyes, every boss is easy! Who isn’t?” Dicas’s face turned dark.
Obviously, the new players had some issues in cooperation. Under Mr. Fang’s command, it took them a long time to make Mograine fall down.
“They passed just like that!?”
Many players started breathing heavily.
It doesn’t seem to be very difficult…
However, at this moment, everyone saw a figure dashed out from the back of the cathedral.
It was a female priest dressed in a blood-colored priest robe.
“Arise! My champion!”
“At your side, milady!” Bathed in golden holy light, the last boss resurrected under everyone’s gaze.
“What’s happening?!” The audience froze.
The boss that the players had worked hard to kill just resurrected with full HP?!
In the quest of Tome of Divinity and in the recovery of corpses in the instances, the resurrection spells could only be cast in an absolutely quiet environment, which was a very strict requirement.
But at this moment, they saw resurrection being properly used in a battlefield!
Just imagine the scenario: a powerful enemy finally fell at your feet after a hard fight. While you were in your most fatigued and relaxed state, you suddenly heard someone yell, “Arise, my champion”, and then the powerful enemy you had just killed stood up intact, bathing in holy light. What would you feel then?!
Isn’t this just a livestream teaching session for beginners?!
