Chapter 234: Human Spirit Is [Redacted…] (2/2)

It was only when the battle against these weird humans continued after the sun had set and the binary moons had risen that Sakasugi finally realized—the lifeforce it now possessed was what was being chipped away!

Unlike the lifeforce of normal creatures, the zombie dragon was an undead in the moment it was revived, and what drove the power of its body was naturally not the lifeforce of living creatures.

It was an unusual energy that Sakasugi found familiar, and yet it could not remember what it was since its memories were now full of holes.

And the assault of those humans was ultimately affecting that energy, slowly causing that unusual energy to fade…

As Sakasugi crushed another human rushing at it into mincemeat, it noticed that the other humans nearby were not feeling fear but grinning bizarrely.

Saskasugi knew then that this mustn’t continue.

‘There’s definitely something wrong with these humans!’

Even when the dragon was left in awe at the horrific durability of the Players and even suspected that they were brainwashed by some evil god, the Players were actually finding the current situation troubling as well.

To put it simply, the creature was too tough.

Its scales and its bones were so durable that the Players’ normal skills couldn’t pierce them aside from cutting down a fraction of HP.

Moreover, stronger ultimate skills had excessively long casting time, no to mention that they were very obvious and cool that the zombie dragon would agilely evade it whenever they fired.

Even if the Players would attempt to control its movements, the dragon’s anti-magic nature was equally powerful, while most control spells were weak. Additionally, suplex, which everyone acknowledged as the best control spell would always be foiled whenever the dragon quickly darted ahead to trample over the Warrior Player attempting it…

All at once, the Players were caught in the distress of having such a tough opponent

“Joe, what’s on your mind?” Having instructed the other Players in tactics for the whole afternoon, Edward took a break to have a drink when he found Joe seemingly being pensive about something.

And despite knowing that his party mate was basically brainless, Edward’s passionate curiosity still got the better of him.

“It’s nothing,” Joe grinned awkwardly, scratching his head. “It’s just that when the zombie dragon stomped me to death just now, it looked just like a female Player who saw a disgusting bug.”

Edward couldn’t help grinning in return. “Quit fooling around. It’s an undead—it can’t smile, not to mention that it’s a dragon…”

Even as he spoke, he turned towards the dead red dragon.

Perhaps affected by Joe’s words, Edward suddenly noticed that whenever the dead red dragon was slamming its paw down on Players around itself, it looked like Jessica whenever she saw a cockroach…
