“Stop it. I’ve already said I don’t want it.” Li Yi stopped their debate and continued. “Alright, how about this. Let’s do a little experiment.”
Li Yi’s experiment was very easy as he wanted to simulate the actual battle. He told Out of Print to take point and Orchid Elf to heal from the rear.
Both of them agreed.
Orchid Elf waved her Matchstick Staff and a white glow appeared on Li Yi’s body…
“What the f*ck. Are you sure you know how to play as a healer?” Out of Print was flustered.
“I swear I tried to heal you. Oh, I understand now. It must be a bug in the system.”
Out of Print’s anger shot up. “A bug in the system? There’re at least two hundred thousand people online currently in this server. Why is it that you’re the only one experiencing it and not them?”
“How would I know…” Orchid Elf put up the most upset expression she could.
“Calm down. Calm down, stop arguing and listen to me.” Li Yi waved his hands as he told Orchid Elf. “Why don’t you try to heal me?”
Orchid Elf followed his instruction and Out of Print’s body started glowing…
Li Yi shook his head hopelessly. “Okay, I understand now. You just have to heal me and ignore the others when we start attacking the monster.”
“Is… Is that alright? I think we should just change to another healer.” Out of Print who had already died once had lost his confidence towards this Giant tribe healer, Orchid Elf.
“I don’t mind if you can find another healer.” Li Yi shrugged.
Out of Print stayed silent.
At this stage where all major guilds were busy exploring on their own, a healer was much more in demand than an MT. It was very fortunate to be able to find one.
Out of Print sighed as he spoke. “Let’s try it out for the moment then. But I’ll say it up front now that I will leave the party if she’s the main cause of the team wipe.”
Li Yi smiled. “I would leave too.”
As they continued killing the monsters, Li Yi used the block view point strategy to pull the second Frosty Snow Wolf. Out of Print quickly moved forward and had successfully shifted the aggro.
Orchid Elf aimed towards Li Yi as she released a healing skill. Then, a white glow started appearing around Out of Print’s body as the healing effect started on him.
It did not take long before the second Frosty Snow Wolf died underneath the feet of Out of Print.
“What the hell?” Three Goat Pig Pig and 123 Tag screamed in unison.
“I told you it’s a bug in the system.” Orchid Elf looked at Out of Print.
‘Bug my *ss…’ Li Yi thought. As an experienced player, how could he not notice that this Giant healer Orchid Elf was a huge noob?
She did not even know the basic target locking function and even decided to blame it on the system…
She might not understand it even if he told her. Since Li Yi was able to determine who her locking target was, there should not be a problem as long as he told her to cast the healing skill onto whoever he wished.
“Alright, let’s continue killing these monsters!”
Li Yi moved up once more to pull the monsters.
“You don’t have to heal me this time around. Just focus your heal on Three Goat Pig Pig. Yes, Three Goat Pig Pig…”
Orchid Elf kept casting heal on different party members under Li Yi’s instructions. However, the healing effect would always land on the MT Out of Print.
“Amazing!” Out of Print rushed towards Li Yi as he gave him a big thumbs up.
“Haha! Aren’t I a good healer?” Orchid Elf was ecstatic.
The four of them ignored her as they continued attacking the monster.
The team kept moving forward. MT Out of Print was extremely satisfied with Li Yi’s extremely precise block view point. Would the pressure be the same when he was required to tank only a single monster as compared to tanking a few at the same time?
The team had pushed to somewhere nearby the Frost Giant before they realized.
The number of Frost Giants had increased from two to four in the Hero Level. Their HP had skyrocketed to 30000+ and this phase of the dungeon was the phase that would test the limits of the team’s strength of the most.
Li Yi had spent at least ten minutes with his block view point before he succeeded. This was because these four Frost Giants were gathered together and it was extremely difficult to pull only one of them toward them.
Out of Print swung his sword as he moved forward and successfully shifted the Frost Giant’s aggro onto him. The Frost Giant raged as he threw his fist at him. What appeared next was the -210 damage that appeared on top of Out of Print’s head.
Li Yi shouted at the top of his lungs. “Heal me with everything you’ve got and don’t stop healing me!”
The Mutated Small Wild Boar had already moved up to the battlefield. Although the Mutated Small Wild Boar was not able to tank the Frost Giant, it was not an issue if it was there to share some of the load with the MT.
However, the Mutated Small Wild Boar collapsed on the ground after taking three hits from it.
The Mutated Small Wild Boar would not have died if the healer knew what to do and when to heal the Mutated Small Wild Boar every once in a while…
It was fine as long as the MT did not die.
This was Li Yi’s plan. He had no choice but to give up on his preferred tactic and seek the second best option when facing against such a powerful enemy that required a lot of healing.
It was fine as long as they could pass this stage since pets could be resurrected once the battle was over. Its Affinity might drop at the very least but it would be back to where it was after killing a few small monsters.
He had no words for Out of Print’s game control and he indeed lived up to his reputation as the representative of the Vagabond class in his past life. Although Vagabonds were unable to use any shields and block any damage, Vagabond’s Parry rate were the highest among all other MT. They were able to make up with what they lacked with other advantages and Vagabonds were not considered weak as long as their game control was good.
“Out of Print, retreat and drink some Red Potions. Orchid Elf, drink some Blue Potions to recover your MP!”
Li Yi shouted as he shot out a few arrows and shifted the Frost Giant’s aggro towards himself.
Since Orchid Elf was spamming heal this whole time regardless if their HP was full or not, her MP plummeted quickly and was no longer able to continue healing everyone. As Out of Print’s HP kept dropping, Li Yi had no choice but to shift the aggro towards him so that the two of them had time to recover.
Out of Print’s reaction was swift as he drank a Red Potion as fast as he could. He understood that Li Yi was not able to pull for a very long time and had pounced forward to pull the Frost Giant’s aggro back towards him while his HP was slowly increasing.
On the other hand, Orchid Elf was nowhere competent compared to Out of Print. She did not even bring any Blue Potions along with her. The moment she heard Li Yi telling her to recover, she immediately sat down to recover her MP via resting mode.
“… It’s ineffective to rest during battle. Stand up quickly. I’ll give you some Blue Potions!”
Li Yi ran towards and stopped in front of Orchid Elf as he traded her 10 bottles of Blue Potion that recovered MP.
Three Goat Pig Pig and 123 Tag almost fainted. Their opinion was the same as Out of Print’s. The healer was a complete noob and they really felt insecure as she always stood so close to the monsters…
The Frost Giant finally collapsed after some ten minutes or so.
“Finally…” Out of Print wiped the sweat off his body.
“Quick. Loot the body and see what items we can get from it.” Three Goat Pig Pig and 123 Tag urged him.
It was common knowledge in the King of Pantheon that one could loot equipment from humanoid monsters, unlike the Frosty Snow Wolf where one could only obtain ingredients from its body.
After pondering for a while, Out of Print rushed towards Li Yi and said with a smile on his face, “Dark Wing, why don’t you do the honor? We wouldn’t be able to reach this point without you.”
Li Yi was stunned. He rubbed his hands and as he was about to move forward, he suddenly recalled of something and smiled wryly. “I think it’s better for you to do it.”
Three Goat Pig Pig butted in, “What are you afraid of? You’re the strongest here and we’ll leave it to you to split the loot regardless of what you obtain. We won’t mind.”
Then, Li Yi said awkwardly, “It’s not about that. It’s just that… I’m quite unlucky in this kind of stuff.”
Out of Print was in disbelief. “Trash hand? Bullsh*t. What you obtain is purely up to chance. What does it have to do with you having a trashy hand?”
“That’s right. It’s just probability and has nothing to do with you having a trashy hand.” Three Goat Pig Pig and 123 Tag agreed with Out of Print’s point of view.
“How about I do the honors?” Orchid Elf asked as she tried to probe for a response.
“F*ck off to a corner.” All three of them said in unison except Li Yi.
“Fine. I’ll loot it since all of you believe in me.”
Li Yi was resolute as he reached out his hand towards the Frost Giant’s corpse…
