Chapter 664 - V57C4P3 – The Great War (1/2)
V57C4P3 – The Great War
“Why are they like that all of a sudden?”
“Their morale is at its peak. The vibe is real.”
Neither the a.s.sault squad nor the spectators knew the reason, but they had a good idea.
It was the appearance of Bard Ray’s personal guards.
Though their melee combat with the dragon had left their armor fractured and broken, they were pus.h.i.+ng forward under the countless arrows and magic attacks.
The heroic display was totally expected.
– I will make you mere humans pay for challenging me. Howling Rage!
Kaybern’s body turned dark red and began emitting incredible power.
The Hermes Guild members on the front lines pressuring it with their s.h.i.+elds were the targets of its attack.
As its tail whipped, their s.h.i.+elds and armor were torn like pieces of paper, causing guild members between the levels 400 ~ 500 to die. The results were consistent with its foreleg kicks and headb.u.t.ts.
“What is this? It suddenly became outrageously powerful!”
“K-ugh! s.h.i.+elds press closer! Don’t give it any room to move around or we are all in danger!”
Even the warriors over level 1000 who used the brazier were severely wounded or decapitated by its attacks.
“It’s too strong!”
“We can’t block it, so don’t confront it.”
With every struggle from Kaybern, thousands of s.h.i.+eldmen were pushed away in fear.
It pressured the Hermes Guild with its phenomenal physical strength.
What happened here?
Weed asked the channel with the crucial members of the Morata defense.
Arkhim: I’m uncertain. It became very powerful after casting a spell.
Ultar: It is still manageable. If we continue as we had before, the front will hold the line and we will be able to go for its rear by circling around left and right. If we can win, the losses must be accepted.
Grenol: We must push forward and block off the front as well. We must not let the dragon have an open path!
Max: a.s.semble the s.h.i.+eld units. We must corner Kaybern completely.
A rather unsettling atmosphere dominated the conversation among the commanders and soon, Weed received the response to his question.
After careful observations, we determined it to be a magic spell that enhances strength.
It was Dain’s answer.
She too was watching from somewhere in Morata.
Weed felt a bit awkward having not spoken to her in such a long time and spoke in a polite manner.
Did it cast the spell on itself?
Yes. Though the scale is different, there is a similar spell in the Shaman moveset. With that kind of power however, it has to be dark magic.
But it doesn’t seem as though that it offered any sacrifices.
I believe it increases strength based on the number of enemies and the c.u.mulative damage taken.
Once it was empowered by magic, Kaybern’s physical prowess was dreadful.
The outrage of a dragon over hundreds of meters tall paved the humans to the ground and caused a ma.s.sacre.
It was truly a scene of a calamity.
“Uwaaaagh!”
“It’s too strong.”
Players fell like rain running down the dragon’s back and wings and got kicked in mid-air.
‘We just have to take the beast down. Even with this many casualties, if we kill the dragon…’
The Hermes Guild was united in a single idea. Kaybern’s health points are roughly at half.
Having used the brazier that cost 50 levels, one death wasn’t any more significant, so an all-out attack was the only answer.
“We must keep up the attack. There is no room for hesitation.”
Bard Ray was still mounted on the dragon’s back.
Despite the dragon’s tough movements, he spent all his stamina and mana to throw out a barrage of skills.
Over a hundred guild members were attacking alongside him and they too were in a state of frenzy. The healing and buff spells from the priests were concentrated on them.
“Just a little further! The dragon is dying.”
“The end is almost here. Everyone pull out all you’ve got!”
The commanders roamed the grounds and shouted.
The players standing on top of the enraged dragon had no time to look around, but they could hear the sounds from their comrades.
The users of the brazier too occasionally died under the dragon’s feet or spells. However, many were too deeply drenched in b.l.o.o.d.y madness to notice the increasing casualties.
Slater: We can kill it.
Heroid: Our attacks are working. Keep attacking. We are so close to the success of this hunt.
There was no need for second thoughts.
They themselves knew that their berserk state was the only thing that would help them win.
Towards the end of combat, the great city Morata would be left in severe destruction.The piles of Hermes Guild bodies had no pity.
They had lacked companions.h.i.+p to begin with, but now that they all saw the great achievement of hunting down the dragon right before their eyes they were even more callous.
Krobidyun: The dragon’s current health points are at 39%.
Kaybern was taking damage to its health points despite its overwhelming defense and magic defense
Lamifter: I think we can actually pull this off.
Boemong: For sure. Kaybern will die today.
Gaushu: Everyone hold your stations! The offense must continue until the end of this war.
Krobidyun: I will take care of the corpses as soon as they sp.a.w.n.
The spectators of Morata were getting worked up.
“There, the Hermes Guild is going to take it down.”
“It looks like it. Nice. Bard Ray really is awesome.”
“Wow, the Hermes Guild is showing its cla.s.s. The dragon is incredible too.”
“I wanted Weed-nim to defeat the dragon. Still, I don’t need to worry about Versailles falling anymore.”
“That goes the same for me.”
The Absolute Solar magic was long gone and the fire burning down the buildings were almost all extinguished.
The only thing left was to push the dragon to its end.
Weed wasn’t the least excited watching the scene.
‘But this is the dragon. It seems all too easy for it to end like this.’
There was no need for complications.
