Chapter 1347: Door Gods

“It’s not that we’ve never had this many people mobilise at once, but this time, it’s completely different,” Lu Li said as he stood next to the Instance Dungeon gathering stone.

The entrance – a long and narrow path – was just in front of them. Ruling Sword members were everywhere, so the other players, ones who weren’t part of this, left the area almost instantly.

This was the organisation’s might!

Lu Li wasn’t an arrogant person; this was just a way to rally the players’ battle spirits. It was normal for organisations to do this.

Of course, not every organisation dared to do this in the open.

Some people might choose to badmouth them, but the truth was that they wished to be a part of it too. It had always been the same – the victors were the ones who determined what was normal.

As for the other organisations, they would usually show respect to each other.

“This is the first Level 60 instance dungeon!” Lu Li continued, “After defeating this dungeon, we will be the strongest guild!”

“Strongest guild!”

“Dawn’s number one!”

“Long live the Alliance!”

With these roars and cries, everyone became hot-blooded and driven. Even Wandering, a normally arrogant and proud person, was moved and became extremely excited.

This was their way of living!

From having nothing to now being something, it was a sight to behold. From the steel bridges to the visible tunnels and pathways, the entire area was filled with their allies.

Anyone would be envious upon this sight.

“Molten Core’s First Clear! Nightmare Difficulty First Clear! It will all be ours!” Lu Li declared, then faced the NPC to enter the dungeon.

Instance Dungeon difficulty: Nightmare!

Lu Li might have started this trend, but anything other than Nightmare difficulty was irrelevant for a First Clear.

Previously, Blood Red War Flag took the First Clear for Upper Blackrock on Hard difficulty. As a result, the System announced this to the world. However, what they received was not the respect and praise that they had in mind.

Besides the small and weak guilds, everyone looked down on them.

After all, Ruling Sword’s First Clears had all been achieved on Nightmare difficulty. Therefore, their First Clear on Hard difficulty didn’t mean anything. How could they be so shameless and claim the First Clear on Hard difficulty?

As Lu Li chose to tackle Nightmare difficulty every time, other guilds couldn’t bring themselves to choose a lower difficulty. As for the other smaller and weaker guilds who were shameless, they wouldn’t even be able to clear the dungeon on the Elite level.

After Lu Li entered, 40 people swiftly followed into the dungeon.

As for the 15 replacements, they didn’t stay at the entrance. Otherwise, other people wouldn’t hesitate to kill them. Furthermore, the people who escorted this party wouldn’t just stay here and not train.

Replacements didn’t need to stay at the entrance, since Sesame Rice Ball could just use a portal and bring them over when they needed them.

During the waiting time, they could train levels, or their professions. They could also just play around in pubs or conduct their own business.

As for collecting benefits from joining, their reputation was much safer than the actual members of the party.

“Two guards? Is there a need? The Game company is trying to screw us over, aren’t they?” Azure Sea Breeze jabbed his shield into the ground. This was his new Legendary shield, which he had received from a Wild Boss that Ruling Sword cleared recently. Wandering was in charge of the battle, since Lu Li was training with Water Fairy at the time.

Magma Giants, roughly 5 metres away, or perhaps a little shorter than 5 metres.

All in all, for the players standing underneath, the sight was terrifying.

“Alright, let’s go.”

Lu Li rubbed his nose and decided to not say more.

“Everyone, look closely. This is the number one Main Tank in Dawn.”

The person who declared this was shameless. He believed that he was the soul of the team, so that needed to cooperate with him.

Lu Li just watched as Azure Sea Breeze rushed forward.

He couldn’t keep from his bad habits. Lu Li planned to screw Azure Sea Breeze over again; he couldn’t bear with this arrogant Main Tank.

This group of people, some with not even a full set of Dark Gold items, didn’t organise themselves into the different roles in a team. They all became excited at the sight of two monsters.

Another Main Tank rushed forward, like Azure Sea Breeze. He, too, thought that this was like a normal monster and thought that he could tank a couple of hits.

In the end, he was crushed under the Magma Giant’s foot. The healers couldn’t even react in time.

After this, the two Giants walked into the group of players, and crushed everyone to death. Not even Lu Li survived. He didn’t even try to escape as there was no need for him to. Everyone had already died, so there wasn’t a point for him to continue. He chose to use this squad wipe to teach everyone a lesson.

Forty people was not a force to be reckoned with; numbers did not mean anything.

The Molten Core was designed for 40 people to tackle. This meant that it was much stronger than any of the Instance Dungeons from before. If 40 people simply just steamrolled through this, then the company would need to slap themselves and wake up.

Furthermore, this was the first version of the dungeon, meaning that it hadn’t been nerfed at all. When Lu Li entered the game in his previous life, it had already been nerfed.

The one who seemed like he was slapped was Azure Sea Breeze. His face was swollen, like a pig.

The newcomers didn’t dare to laugh at him, but Azure Sea Breeze felt that everyone was chuckling to themselves.

It was the first time working with these people, so it was easy to identify the ones who weren’t doing their job or slacking off. There were also some who didn’t listen to commands and the ones who listened but didn’t understand.

All in all, it seemed like they were going against everything the leader said.

In reality, the difficulty of the two Magma Giants’ couldn’t be compared with the Bosses. The previous three Instance Dungeons – Blackrock Spires, Stratholm and the Blackrock Depths – were not difficult. This was the first Raid, a team-based Instance Dungeon. The first small monster that they had encounter was already stronger than the majority of the Instance Dungeon Bosses they had faced before.

Even after a few years, these Magma Giants would maintain a nickname. Everyone called them the Door Gods.
