Big Screw was angry, and his anger was terrifying.
Majordomo Majordomo Executus wailed, "My flames, please don't take away my flames."
However, this did not stop Ragnaros from destroying the servant who had disturbed his sleep. Lu Li scoffed at this. Do you want to be killed in your sleep if I don't wake you up? Just like the ancient tree called Bathran, which was cut down in its sleep and then grew hair all over the ground.
Ragnaros said, "Now it's your turn. You've foolishly pursued Ragnaros' power, and now you're about to see it with your own eyes."
Lu Li wanted to give him the middle finger. No matter how strong you were, even if you were Sargeras or Nozdormu, as long as you entered the Instance Dungeon, you were destined to be defeated by the footmen. A hundred times, a hundred times, over and over again.
The strong outside the Instance Dungeon might not be easily humiliated, but as long as you entered it, from a design perspective, the players would be rewarded with equipment and experience.
"Have a taste of Safron's flames!"
After two simple attacks, Ragnaros uttered a very pretentious line.
Safron meant pure flames. Sometimes, it could be understood as a land of fire, a plane of fire element, or it could be directly regarded as the name of the King of Fire Elements, Ragnaros.
Of course, now was not the time to think about Ragnaros's lines.
After this line came out, five or six of the 40 people that Lu Li had carefully selected died immediately. Then, some fell into the lava and died one after another. Overall, a third of the team died, which was basically equivalent to being wiped out. Lu Li looked at the time. The battle had officially started in less than a minute.
Up until now, only the King of Fire had been able to wipe out a team within a minute.
"What just happened?" After reviving and running back, everyone was dumbfounded. They had no idea what had just happened.
"The Boss used a skill and killed a dozen people at once. After that, he used it again, and the team was wiped out," Lu Li explained to everyone. In fact, he knew what the Boss used and how to deal with it.
Ragnaros was the final Boss of the Molten Core. In Lu Li's previous life, he had stumped countless people.
Many strong independent groups might be able to defeat the previous Bosses, but when it came to the last Boss, it wasn't just a test of equipment, Fire Resistance, or simply listening to commands. Therefore, only guilds, mercenary groups, or fixed groups that had been working together for a long time had a chance of defeating Ragnaros.
The Molten Core could be compared to the Mathematical Olympiad.
Ordinary students were equivalent to ordinary casual players. They didn't necessarily have to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad. Even if they didn't participate, they could still advance to a higher school. Those who were slightly stronger could participate. However, there were quite a number of people who focused on participation. It was already good enough if they could complete the basic questions.
Only a genius child would be able to solve the bonus questions and conquer the Olympic Mathematics Competition.
However, this didn't stop a group of children who couldn't participate in the Olympic Mathematics Competition from thinking hard. In other words, there were also many ordinary players who discussed Ragnaros' strategy in full swing. They dreamed of one day defeating Big Screw and taking all his equipment.
Although most of these strategies were useless, at least Lu Li knew the various mechanisms of the Boss.
For example, the skill that Ragnaros had just used was Rage of Ragnaros. The effect was to deal 1000 fire damage to nearby enemies and knock them back.
A thousand points of damage wasn't enough to wipe everyone out. After all, everyone had at least two or three thousand HP. Those with more HP had more than three thousand and were heading towards four thousand. The key was still the knockback. Knockback also dealt damage, especially when standing close to the Boss. In the process of being knocked back, they would receive another heavy damage.
The dozen or so people who died before were basically all melee players. They were all knocked back and died in this way.
There were also a few who fell into the magma river and died after a few hits.
"I think we should stand in different positions," Wander said.
"Let's stand around the Boss. There are people standing in all four circles. It doesn't seem like anyone standing in any direction can escape," Lu Li said. He wasn't in a hurry to start the fight again. Everyone's careful research was better than trying to kill the Boss twice, especially when he was the one guiding them.
After discussing for a while, Weilan Haifeng suddenly said, "Actually, the two times he used this skill, he said the same line …"
"You mean …" Wander's eyes lit up.
"That's right. After the Boss says his line, we have some time to react," Lu Li announced. "The question now is, what should we do with this time? We can first discuss a few feasible methods, then try them one by one."
The second time, they tried to stand in different positions. This obviously didn't work, and the number of deaths was no less than the first time.
The third time, according to everyone's discussion, when the Boss said his line, everyone stood together, hoping that they could share the damage and reduce the possibility of being knocked back.
Although there was no such thing as passing through people in this game, and bumping into people could indeed slow them down, this kind of strategy obviously didn't work on Sargeras. They would still die and be knocked back. Moreover, Lu Li felt that the people standing in the outermost circle might have been knocked back even further, and turned into white light and died halfway.
The fourth strategy was suggested by Lu Li. He told everyone to stay away from the Boss, except for the Main Tanks.
This was obviously Lu Li's help. Under his command, after Ragnaros shouted, everyone except the three Main Tanks retreated a few steps.
The Main Tanks had a certain probability of resisting the Boss's skill, which meant that they wouldn't be knocked back. With three Main Tanks standing there, if there were no accidents, one of them would be able to stay and taunt the Boss. This time, only World's Best Friend escaped the fate of being knocked back. The others were all knocked back like before.
However, everyone quickly discovered something different.
Last time, a few players had died along the way, but this time, only a few players had died. This meant that Lu Li's strategy was effective. At the very least, once they distanced themselves from the Boss, they would receive less damage from being knocked back.
However, there were still quite a few people who died. They didn't die in the process of being knocked back, but rather after falling into the lava and being burned alive.
The fourth time, they lasted a little longer. They used Rage of Ragnaros three times before they were wiped out because too many people died. This process not only proved the correctness of Lu Li's strategy, but also helped them figure out the fastest way to climb out of the lava.
Whether it was breaststroke or doggy paddle, the most important thing was to leave the lava as soon as possible.
Lu Li also began to assign group healers to heal those who fell into the lava. On the fifth time, they managed to endure until the Boss' second skill appeared. This skill made them speechless. It could be called Weapon Melting. When melee players attacked the Boss, their weapons would be melted by the flames, causing their durability to decrease.
This skill didn't pose any threat at all. After all, it couldn't melt the durability in the blink of an eye.
