Chapter 71: Grave Danger 1

Translator: - - Editor: - -

Artlan's saber was certainly doing more damage to the dragon than Halo's sword. The dragon was strong, but its attacks did not work against either Artlan or Halo.

Both of them struck the dragon with their basic attacks, and when it attacked them, they used their powers. Artlan jumped and attacked where the dragon wasn't expecting, and Halo used his flash-of-light attack on it while dodging its attacks.

The dragon was livid at that point.

It swung its long tail and breathed fire, but it couldn't catch them. So, it lifted its head and roared.

"If this is all you've got, you will die!"

The dragon's chest lit up, and underneath its skin, a red light climbed up its neck. The dragon lowers its head and breathed fire.

The dragon's fire breath was different from regular fire b.a.l.l.s. The fire breath evaporated all of the water from the valley and scorched the ground. The dragon breathed the fire in a circle, burning everything in its path.

Artlan and Halo quickly escaped, but Vera and Diane couldn't move.

Nudra was standing in front of them shouted:

"Move aside!"

After he spoke, Nudra flew up. He couldn't handle it. The fire breath had been going for three seconds nonstop, and it would continue.

In that situation, you had to protect the people behind you.

Junhyuk ran ahead and shouted at Sarang:

"Get in the middle!"

Sarang understood right away and stood between Diane and Vera. Junhyuk launched the force field around Sarang, but it was not enough to cover Diane and Vera, who were on the edge of the field.

"c.r.a.p!"

Junhyuk wanted to protect them all. If he gave up on one of them, he would save two, but he wanted to save all three.

So, Junhyuk stood in front of them.

The flames approached, and Junhyuk clenched his teeth. To save his friends and kill the dragon, he could die.

"Expand!"

The flames traveled faster than Junhyuk's shout. They were right in front of him, and Junhyuk shouted louder:

"Expand!"

Then, the flames engulfed him, but he did not feel their heat. Junhyuk saw the ivory-colored force field surrounding him.

He turned his head slowly and saw the force field had grown wider. It now had a fifteen-foot radius, surrounding him and the other three.

In that situation, only people with long distance attacks could have struck the dragon, but now it was possible to make a force field wide enough to cover a group.

The flames had no intention of dying out, flowing by the force field. They didn't know when the dragon's attack would stop and they wondered if they could survive it.

The flames died down, and he lifted his head to look and saw Nudra kicking the dragon's head down.

With the dragon's head on the ground, the fire breath only burned what was in front of it.

That's when the dragon lifted its head. Nudra was trying to retreat when the dragon launched fireb.a.l.l.s at him.

Nudra was in the air and couldn't escape.

Boom!

Nudra was. .h.i.t, and the dragon went after him while Artlan and Halo attacked the dragon's ankle. They had been going at its ankle for a while and now, they could see bone.

The dragon had been slowed down by those two, but it wanted to attack Nudra, since it was Nudra who had kicked its head.

"It's ready!" Vera shouted, and meteors fell from the sky.

When the dragon had tried to fly, a membrane had prevented it from doing so, but now it let the meteors through.

The membrane had to be there only to restrain dragon.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Even though the dragon was strong, after being hit by the meteors, the dragon was mortally wounded. He had lost two of its wings, and its head was being torn apart when Diane shot her arrow.

Diane's attack had astounding penetration power, and the arrow went through the dragon's left eye. It looked like a deathblow.

"I'll kill you all!"

The dragon was pure hatred and roared again. Even though they were surrounded by the force field, they still felt terror instilled by the roar.

Vera launched a black firewall. The firewall appeared from underneath the roaring dragon's feet. The dragon was so big, it had a hard time moving around and continued to lose health from the firewall.

The dragon beat its two remaining wings and stomped the ground.

Bang!

The ground shook with the shockwaves. Junhyuk had to crouch to maintain balance. He lifted his head, and the firewall had already disappeared.

The dragon had to have felt that his long distance attack did not work and started rushing toward them. It was about 170 feet long, but it stood at about a hundred feet tall and it looked like a thirteen-story building was running toward them.

The force field disappeared.

Junhyuk grabbed his swords and looked at the dragon. Could he attack it? He had increased piercing attack, but looking at the dragon's thick scales, his attack might not work.

Junhyuk didn't worry about it anymore. The dragon was heading toward him. He had to either attack or escape, and Junhyuk decided to fight.

"Sarang, move aside!"

Junhyuk ran toward it. The dragon felt entirely different up close.

It kicked. The dragon's feet were like speeding trucks. Junhyuk dodged to the side and swung his sword.

Maybe it was because of the black armor, but his attack speed had increased, even though it was a small change.

Sla-Crack!

However, his attack was really short of being a success. He only managed to smash the dragon's scales, but he watched the dragon's ankle being frozen.

Junhyuk didn't want to kill the dragon. He wanted to slow down the dragon's movement and attack speeds. The dragon realized it had slowed and became even angrier, swinging its tail at Junhyuk.

Junhyuk teleported, escaping the tail strike. He wouldn't have been able to escape the tail by running.

He was now standing by the other ankle and swung his swords at the dragon's bone. The ankle had already been skinned, and he was able to deal damage.

Junhyuk decreased the dragon's movement and attack speeds and escaped. The dragon looked at him, when suddenly, Diane's exploding arrow hit its head.

Boom!

It focused on Diane, and she started moving away quickly and shouted:

"I am sorry, but I am too fast for you!"

Diane moved fast, but not fast enough to completely escape the dragon. It was so big that, being at the center of valley, whenever it moved, it could reach everything.

Still, Junhyuk was relieved. The dragon was no longer paying attention to him.

Junhyuk joined Sarang. She had no means to protect herself, so he wanted to stay with her. She hadn't dared attack the dragon, and held on to his arm.

"Big brother, should I not attack that thing?"

"You shouldn't draw its attention. It's hard enough to escape from it. I had to use my spatial relocation because it was the only way I could do it."

"It's a difficult situation."

"But you will help us out. Use your power in a decisive moment."

"OK."

Sarang prepared her power, readying herself for whenever she would be able to use it, and watched the battlefield.

They were hunters who were hunting a great dragon like in a movie, and it made quite a show. It was scarier than impressive. It was different from watching it on a screen. They were experiencing it, and she might have to join the fight. She was waiting for the right moment to use her staff.

Despite the dragon's heavy advantage, it was being wounded, but they couldn't escape from the dragon's attacks either.

Nudra was covered in ashes after being hit by the flames, and Halo couldn't move his left arm. However, Artlan attacked the dragon the most and had not been hit by a significant attack, but he looked to be getting tired.

The dragon was winning because of its huge size. It was difficult to deliver a deathblow against something so big.

Vera's firewalls were put out by the dragon's feet, so she began using fire spears instead. She also did not forget to use fire orbs to help out.

Diane's attacks were very sharp and piercing, but she was unable to deliver heavy attacks.

"I have to give them a chance."

It was not easy to create an opportunity to attack the dragon, but Junhyuk's cooldowns were over, and he decided to try.

He could withstand the dragon for ten seconds, and he wanted to try. They all had to attack within a ten-second period and bring the fight to an end.

Junhyuk was about to step forward when he looked at the entrance to the valley. It was only ten feet wide, and he saw shadows coming through it.

Only enemies could show up at the Dragon's Valley. There were no monsters in that place except for the dragon.

"Artlan!"

Junhyuk called out to him, and Artlan stopped attacking and looked at him. Junhyuk pointed to the entrance of the valley.

Artlan was closer to the entrance than Junhyuk, so he could see some people gathering there.

"s.h.i.t!"

Even with five heroes, it had not been easy to deal with the dragon, and now they would have to deal with enemy heroes as well. The enemy's group was watching the dragon and the allied heroes fighting.

They would still have to deal with the enemy heroes when they finished fighting the dragon, but they had to finish the dragon first, before engaging their enemies.

"Full attack! Sarang!"

Sarang was really nervous and focused and understood it right away. She launched her electric blast and hit the dragon. It was suddenly paralyzed, and Artlan jumped and attacked the dragon's neck.

Slas-craack!

The dragon had a thick neck, and the attack did not chop its head off. However, Artlan was not alone. He landed as Halo swung his sword and open the wound on the dragon's neck wider.

The dragon's neck was half open and bleeding when a fire spear and an exploding arrow hit it.

Boom, boom!

The dragon's wound opened wider. Then, Nudra jumped at it and was going to front-kick it, but it did not look like his kick would work.

"Don't make me laugh!"

The dragon was no longer paralyzed and swung its tail, but Nudra kicked it first.

Craaack!

Nudra's attack tore open more of the dragon's wounds. The dragon was so heavy, that it was not pushed back, and instead, its neck was pushed back, opening more of the wound.

Its neck no longer held up, and the dragon lost all of its health and died. They heard a soft whisper in their ears, and their bodies were surrounded by five-colored magic circles.

[You've killed the dragon Kaloyan. For the next two hours, you get a 30 percent increase to health regeneration rate, a 30 percent increase to movement speed, a 30 percent increase to attack speed, a 30 percent increase to defense, and when you attack, you will inflict an additional one hundred damage on top of your normal damage. If you die within two hours, you will lose yours buff.]

This was an insane buff. That buff was enough to change the course of the battlefield.

Then, the enemy heroes ran into the valley. They had been expecting the dragon's death to run in. They wanted to take the buff away from the exhausted allied heroes, and as the enemy heroes expected, the allies' condition was bad.

This was the worst time for a team battle.
