”Holy s.h.i.+t, this Frost Dragon is really fierce! It used some sort of horn attack against Lu Chen and dropped him to less than half health! What a warrior…” High Fighting Spirits exclaimed as he twirled Invincible idly in the air. He was giving live commentary as he watched from the sidelines.
Xu Yang nodded his head. ”Yeah, it really is quite the warrior, huh…”
Chaos Moon shouted, ”Go, Lu Chen, go!”
……
Wooos.h.!.+
I raised my longsword and used G.o.d Binding Art. Four divine weapons instantly screamed down from the sky as they dug deep into the ice around the Frost Dragon. Lightning crackled in the air as the mysterious and primordial power of this skill spun in the air and tried to shackle the Frost Dragon's gigantic body.
Unfortunately for me, the Frost Dragon let out a fierce roar as it shrugged free of the G.o.d Binding Art, the huge ”MISS” sending everyone's hearts cras.h.i.+ng to the ground.
Gui Guzi used Barrier Break to pull its aggro over to him so he could help me tank the dragon's attacks while Murong Mingyue and Moon Dew hurriedly healed me back to full health.
As I ran past the boss, I dropped an Icy Cyclone Domain on its head. However, my skill didn't have any effect on this boss. The Frost Dragon belonged to the ice element in the first place and its affinity with ice far exceeded my own. Honestly, I would have been shocked if my Icy Cyclone Domain could actually do anything to this boss, but I had to at least try.
Several hundred of our players launched a barrage of attacks from a distance, Devil Piercing Arrows and Dragon's Roars raining down from above. The sky was actually darkened by this volley of arrows, but it was immediately lit up by the fiery magics that chased them. Blades of wind, icicles, and falling rocks were also smas.h.i.+ng into the Frost Dragon's body incessantly.
It was too bad that most of us couldn't do any true damage to the boss, and even dealing more than a hundred damage to this dragon was a praiseworthy feat. In fact, only Beiming Xue could deal more than a thousand damage with each attack. Of course, there were also a few good archers who had learned the Ambition Breaker skill, so they timed their cooldowns to ensure that they could cycle the skill on the boss. Every now and then, it would actually succeed and cut the Frost Dragon's defenses by 50%. But this was the right way to fight this boss and it was the only realistic way we could take on a Level 155 Earth Rank boss in the first place.
Boom!
A huge cobalt head fiercely swiped down toward Gui Guzi before it rammed straight into his s.h.i.+eld. The attack hit Gui Guzi with such force that it still threw him backward in spite of his incredible Defense. It was a critical hit as well, so it dealt him a little over 24000 points of damage!
”Rooooar!”
The Frost Dragon stretched open its bloodied mouth as its neck started to bulge. The scales on its neck bent in at a weird and unnatural angle as it prepared to use the skill unique to all dragons—Dragon Breath!
”Be careful!”
I hurriedly ran forward as b.l.o.o.d.y energy started swirling around my left fist. The air whistled around my fist as I launched a Magic Piercing Punch into the Frost Dragon's neck, instantly interrupting its Dragon Breath skill.
Yup, this Magic Piercing Punch skill was useful, alright. As long as a boss wasn't using its ultimate attack, it had nearly a 100% interrupt rate.
The Frost Dragon angrily swiped against He Yi's s.h.i.+eld with multiple thuds when she stepped in to fill the gap that Gui Guzi had left behind. The very first hit of the Frost Dragon's claws sent He Yi reeling as those blade-like claws tore away a good chunk of her health. The dragon immediately swept its tail at me next. Its gigantic tail was studded with craggy spikes and when that tail crashed into my right arm, I immediately felt an intense pain shooting up to my brain! Wow, it felt as if my arm had been smashed into bits!
14901!
This boss was way too strong! It could take on Gui Guzi, He Yi, and I at the same time, and just its physical attacks alone were enough to beat the three of us back! If not for the strong squad of priests that were supporting us, there was no way we would be able to fend off this Frost Dragon's attacks! However, the fact that we were constantly being healed from death's door deeply touched our hearts.
……
After nearly twenty minutes of fighting, the Frost Dragon's health had finally dropped to about 55%, but we had also run up a butcher's bill of nearly two hundred players! The Frost Dragon kept launching its breath without enough warning, so I wasn't able to use my Magic Piercing Punch to interrupt it all the time. Furthermore, this boss's AI was very advanced and it kept using its tail swipe to knock me backward before it used its Dragon Breath. As a result, it would buffet our forces with its dragonbreath every now and then, and when that happened, it was inevitable that casualties would occur.
”We're in trouble!”
An a.s.sa.s.sin belonging to our guild suddenly ran into the gully. As he ran, he started shouting, ”Guild leader, there are people coming! Players from Mad Dragon!”
Swhoos.h.!.+
A cold light flashed in the air and that a.s.sa.s.sin tumbled to the ground with a huge, b.l.o.o.d.y hole in his chest. That was what happened to a player's body when they got one-shot by a Devil Piercing Arrow.
Snow fluttered in the air as a bunch of people appeared at the entrance of the color. The first one in was an archer who was holding a blood-red longbow! It was Coldmoon Rose. She was the one who had one-shot our a.s.sa.s.sin with that Devil Piercing Arrow. It looked like the Mad Dragon guild had gotten some new equipment for this girl. If not, there was no way her attack power would be so high.
Roaming Dragon and Inconstant, who were both mounted on their horses, soon appeared behind Coldmoon Rose, and Iron Pardon was following swiftly after them with his sharp blade in hand. There were only about two hundred people from Mad Dragon who had appeared, so they really didn't pose much of a threat to us.
Clang!
I forcefully parried the Frost Dragon's claw swipe before I turned around and yelled, ”Li Chengfeng, High Fighting Spirits, Chaos Moon, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun, Xu Yang, I want you guys to lead several people over to guard the entrance to the gully. Eliminate Mad Dragon while you're at it!”
