In a party, regardless of whether it was a small one consisting of 5 members, or big scale one consisting over 500, those main tanks responsible for luring monsters as well as healers would always be the class that was the most lacking and required. If these two classes were established, then the remaining damage dealing would be a cinch.
With the participation of the main tank, Out of Print, and healer, Orchid Elf, Li Yi found another two who were 'willing' to join his party in Dark Empire to form a five-member party.
The other two Dark Empire members were a Poisonous Thief Orc called Three Goat Pig Pig and a Violent Warrior Orc called 123 Tag.
The ATK damage of these two were completely not at par. Their white-colored equipment weren't even completed. They were at Level 8 and Level 9 respectively. They were the kind who would not even qualify for substitutions.
Still, it was better than nothing. This was what Li Yi thought.
Out of Print was honest. The moment he joined the party, he mentioned, "I have attempted Instance Dungeon of the Heroic difficulty multiples times and I get wiped out every time I encounter monsters, so they didn't dare to party with me."
"Me too," Orchid Elf, who was three-meters tall, coyly added.
Out of Print, just as Li Yi, was of the Human race while Lady Orchid Elf was gaming a Giant.
The Giants were considered the least populated race in all of King of Pantheon. Its sparseness could not beat that of the Vagabond class.
The Giants could go up to three meters, making them a huge target. Their reactions were not as agile. If they were fronted with Dwarfs, they would already drop dead before laying eyes on them. If anyone wanted to defeat Giants, they were basically walking and breathing targets that couldn't even go into hiding...
This was nothing. The Giants' Innate Ability was the most astounding. All three of their Innate Abilities were all rubbish.
With Strength of Titan, Giants were able to facilitate up to double the items than normal races in their backpacks, enabling them to carry a super heavy load.
With Will of Giant, strong Giants developed a special capability from constant exposure of wind and rain that when they were attacked with spells, 1% damage would be reduced.
With Rage of Earth, Giants would ram their fists onto the ground, quaking away all enemies within a ten meter range. The casting speed was 8 seconds with a cooling period of 1 hour.
Among these three Innate Abilities, apart from Rage of Earth that seemed alright, the other two were entirely rubbish. However, the channeling time of 8 seconds in casting Rage of Earth was enough to make one crumble. Usually before it could be cast, they would be interrupted...
Those assuming the roles of healers would usually choose races with added intelligence like White Elves or Orcs. These classes would have bonus from their own races' Innate Skills that could strengthen their healing ability.
A year into the game in Li Yi's past life, it was then that players started having a certain understanding of the game. Basically, no one would play a healer as a Giant.
Regardless of his past or current life, it was Li Yi's first to see someone played a healer as a Giant.
Li Yi smiled, "No worries. We are only giving it a go. Of course, it's best if we can pass, but there is no problem if we can't. Getting wiped out is unavoidable in opening up a path. However, I want to inform something first. If we could really make it through, I hope it would be under the Dark Empire's name."
"Alright with me." Out of Print shrugged.
"Whatever you say." Orchid Elf did not object.
The other two naturally did not have differing views. As players that could not even make as substitutes, they were already happy to be able to try the Instance Dungeon of the Heroic difficulty.
"Okay, then I'll simply distribute the tasks. I will be luring monsters in a bit. Out of Print will be in charge of tanking, while Orchid Elf will specifically heal Out of Print. The rest need not do anything."
"No problem."
The remaining four nodded.
"Okay then." Li Yi unequipped the Frost Ring and handed over to Out of Print.
"Equip this.
"Return it to me once we're done with the dungeon."
Out of Print was stunned, but still bluntly took and equipped it.
"Alright, let's enter the dungeon."
Li Yi wielded his arm and entered the dungeon first.
System Notification: [You have entered an Instance Dungeon of the Heroic difficulty, Frost Labyrinth. Time until the dungeon refreshes is 23 hours and 20 minutes.]
"Howl—"
Four Elite Level Frosty Snow Wolves were moving indolently on the snow. The HP displayed above them was shockingly at 12,000.
It was under these four Frosty Snow Wolves whose hands Unyielding-to-the-Sky Dragon died in.
"Don't come over. Wait for my signal, and then that's when Out of Print will lure the monsters."
Li Yi ran to another direction. He held his bow and aimed at a Frosty Snow Wolf. An arrow was shot with a swoosh.
[-279]
The beautiful critical damage sparked above a Frosty Snow Wolf. The four Frosty Snow Wolves immediately sensed Li Yi and ran towards his direction.
Li Yi retreated a few steps and hid behind a huge tree to conceal his body.
Apart from the Frosty Snow Wolf damaged by Li Yi which continued running forward, the remaining three Frosty Snow Wolves blankly stood on their spot. It wasn't long when a howl was heard as they returned to their original spots.
"Out of Print, now!"
Li Yi rotated his body with a Resounding Shot as he yelled while running toward Out of Print.
His speed was far from an Elite-Level Frosty Snow Wolf. Once he was caught up to, death was eminent.
Out of Print charged forward, slicing with each swirl of his blade. It wasn't long before he drew the Frosty Snow Wolves into Aggro mode.
"Block their sight to transfer Aggro!"
Li Yi's earlier action seemed simple, but it wasn't easy to pull off in reality. To block a monster's sight so that it could not see oneself was easy. However, it wasn't easy to follow suit with another monster.
"Go!"
Three Goat Pig Pig and 123 Tag pulled themselves together and made a move forward.
"Heal!"
Seeing Out of Print's HP going down, Li Yi yelled at Orchid Elf.
Orchid Elf held a matchstick-like staff and twirled. Rings of white light sparkled around Li Yi. Li Yi was instantly dumbfounded.
'... What sort of healing is this? What's the point of adding my HP?'
In a split second, Out of Print collapsed onto the ground. Frosty Snow Wolf's HP was still around 5,000+.
"Old Pig, you're up!"
In a moment of desperation, Li Yi released a Mutated Small Wild Boar and successfully averted Frosty Snow Wolf's Aggro. He continuously blasted arrows, resounding shots, crippling strikes, various damages until finally, the Frosty Snow Wolf was killed before Mutated Small Wild Boar collapsed.
"Oh my God, did we really kill them?" Three Goat Pig Pig looked at the Frosty Snow Wolves on the ground. He was still in disbelief.
Li Yi looked at Orchid Elf, "When I asked you to heal, I was asking you to heal Out of Print. Why did you recover my HP?"
"I... I was aiming at Out of Print," Orchid Elf felt awkward. She took large strides to Out of Print. Both her hands basked in Holy Light.
"Holy Light Redemption!"
The Resurrection Spell! This Healer Giant unexpectedly knew the Resurrection Spell...
Li Yi was, once again, dumbfounded.
A glimpse of her gaming skills gave away she was a noob. However, not only was her equipment the highest grade, she learned the Resurrection Spell sought after by the High Priests that couldn't even be bought.
"Do you even know how to be a healer?" Out of Print stood up and glared at Orchid Elf in frustration.
"I pumped HP on you but I don't know how it ended up on Dark Wing."
Orchid Elf clenched her Matchstick Staff. Her tone was certain.
