Chapter 160 - The Last Stand (IX) (1/2)
If there are players who obey the leader of the group or those who command them, there are also players who are thick-headed and will try to go and do other things that they think will be done better compared to the one leading the command. As a result? They end up in big trouble.
The two guys who were left behind were immediately reduced to ashes and even their bodies were nowhere to be found. I can only do a facepalm on their stubbornness. Do they think they can kill the boss just by staying near the boss and repeat the attacks? Gimmicks like that are not useful against the boss as they will adapt to the fighting style of the enemy and will try to find a countermeasure against that. Even I would die if I stay there even if I use my defensive skills.
”Damn! They ruined the plan!” Bloodaxe gritted his teeth. After all, from what I heard about him in the past timeline, he prioritizes the safety of everyone rather than rely on sacrifices. Now that someone died, he is not sure what to say.
”Don't worry, I already formulated a second plan to stand up against the dragon in case any player fell or ditch us and our progress won't change that much.”
”You already have a worst-case scenario plan planned out? Well, I'll be damned. No wonder the queen has chosen you as the leader,” Bloodaxe said.
All of us continue to run away at a distance from the dragon. The rampage of Dirac, the Dragon of Darkness is too violent that the flames surge out from the ground every roar of the dragon and the heatwave can be felt not too far away.
”Since we lost two guys, then I have no choice but to rely on something else.”
I pulled out the scrolls in my pocket.
”What are you planning to do?” Harmless Sparrow looked at me in confusion.
”Since you can say that I am the one responsible for the deaths of the two, I decided to fight like two guys. It will be hard but it will be manageable. As I said earlier, the strat will remain the same, the only change will be my new role.
Although confusion can be seen in their faces, I am doing this to deal with the loss of a member of the raiding party. One member loss can prove to be fatal if it becomes worse, so before that happens, I have to immediately implement this new strat away.
The dragon stopped its rampage meaning it is time for us to continue the pressure against the dragon.
We returned to the place where the dragon stopped moving and saw the aftermath of its little rampage.
”Holy sh*t, no wonder we needed to retreat immediately, If we stayed here, we will be ashes no matter how tough our defenses are!” Harmless Sparrow said.
”Resume the attacks! Just like earlier, we have to deal with him but we have to be careful every time the boss is about to lose a bar of their HP. We might not know what bar it will undergo the same manner again. If we don't want to get vaporize, be sure to be always observant of the surroundings and the mannerisms of the dragon!”
”ROGER!”
Everyone returned to their formations and although we are now lacking two people with the melee DPS doesn't mean we are going to be f*cked up. After all, this part of my playstyle has never been lost yet. If only this is possible in Arena, I might have dominated the arena in the past timeline. Too bad, this is not an allowed method in Arena since Scrolls are considered ”Broken” in arena fights.
The dragon sweeps its tail again but this time, I didn't let the tanks block it. Instead, I opened a scroll that contains the spell, [Holy Ray]. Since Dirac has an attribute of Dark, light element magic is very effective against any enemies that have the dark attribute.
When the tail made contact with the [Holy Ray], the skin of the dragon suddenly melted and the skeleton on its tail suddenly appeared. The dragon roared loudly and slams the tail to the ground. The tail that has been reduced to the skeleton form became brittle and was reduced to pieces the moment it landed on the ground.
