Chapter 255 - Dragon Versus Dragon (1/2)

how does it feel when a furious dragon glares at you?

were it a question on zhihu[1], there would be many vividly made-up answers as if dragons did exist in this world.

but at this point, roland only wanted to say that he did not really feel anything when the dragon gazed at him, because he had no time to consider that.

summoning three s.h.i.+eld-wielding magic puppets, he backed off quickly, not to hide from the dragon but to avoid the remote attacks from other elves.

at least six elves had aimed at him.

while retreating, roland said, “let’s disperse, or we will be immediately turned to slush if the emerald dragon spits at us again.”

as instructed, suel ran ten meters away and shouted, “the dragon is on us! when is schuck coming? i think only a dragon can defeat a dragon!”

“i’ve informed him in the guild channel!” roland shouted. “he’s probably going to be here soon.”

as they talked, another few arrows were shot at them.

suel blocked two of the arrows, and the rest were taken by the three magic puppets.

but of course, the three magic puppets slightly dimmed after that.

roland continued backing off. he tried to gather more ma.s.sive fireb.a.l.l.s, but whenever he summoned a fireball, multiple zigzagging arrows would be coming at him from his sides.

thankfully, roland’s three magic puppets had him fully covered.

however, after the multiple attacks, two of the puppets disappeared at the same time.

there was a limit to the total attack damage that a magic puppet could take.

for a magic puppet with a defense of “10” and an hp of “100,” any attack greater than 10 would eliminate the magic puppet directly, and if the attack was lower than 10, the magic puppet would still be gone when it lost all 100 hp after multiple attacks. the hp of a magic puppet was essentially the quant.i.ty of magic power that formed the puppet.

although the magic puppets blocked the arrows, two of them disappeared on the spot.

it must be said that the elves were much better at archery than human hunters on average.

without the two magic puppets, seven arrows were immediately shot at him.

roland had to pause the acc.u.mulation of magic power and hurl out the fireball, the diameter of which was less than thirty centimeters.

this time, roland aimed at the archers far away.

he did not throw it at the emerald dragon because even the fireball one meter in diameter failed to kill him, so this one would be useless.

roland had thought that this fireball might hit one of the elves and heavily wound them even if it couldn’t kill them.

but roland’s wish did not come true. although the const.i.tution of elves was relatively low, their intelligence and agility were high.

the fireball had been hit by four magic arrows at the same time when it was halfway through.

the fireball exploded and raised a ma.s.s of sparks, but it did not hurt anything except the flowers and gra.s.ses.

suel roared and rushed forward, but he was forced to step back by nine archers.

they shot four arrows at him every second, and the only thing that suel could do was wave his left arm to block all the arrows with his round s.h.i.+eld.

at the same time, those elves shot at roland now and then.

roland summoned another two magic puppets to block the arrows for him.

at this point, the green dragon that had been staring at roland took action. he raised his head and, half a second later, suddenly lowered it again, spurting out a much larger ma.s.s of acid at roland.

the acid flew at a high speed. roland was not a melee cla.s.s and could not run fast. logically, he couldn’t have escaped from the acid.
