Chapter 461: Earth Lizard Dragon (2/2)
The Earth Lizard Dragon was curled into a ball like a small hill of scaly flesh. It looked like it was taking a nap, but unlike most creatures, a jet of flame was exiting its nostrils every time it breathed out. Its lightly-swaying tail seemed to indicate that it was in a fairly light sleep, and at the back of the boss lay a small mountain of literal treasure. There was gold, Big Magic Stones, Phantasmal Magic Stones; even the legendary gems such as Cyanfire Gems and Dragonstone Gems!
My eyes turned into a pair of gigantic dollar signs. If I could kill the Earth Lizard Dragon, its hoard alone could send me to the realm of ecstasy, let alone the rest of the reward. There was plenty of gold in that small hill of treasure, but the high-level gems were what I really wanted. It was a pile of wealth that could tempt any man or woman into action!
……
Crack!
It was a soft cracking noise, but it was one that deflated my euphoria in an instant and filled me with horror. My bastard pet actually stepped on a dead bone! There was no way the boss wouldn’t hear this!
Just as I thought, the Earth Lizard Dragon’s drooping eyelids abruptly opened. Crimson eyes filled with unimaginable fury, it abruptly opened its mouth and launched a blazing breath straight at our direction!
I backed off quickly and saved myself by dashing behind a stone wall, but the Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf wasn’t nearly as lucky. The fiery breath had burned off every hair on its body and deleted 14672 HP in one go!
I was flabbergasted to say the least. Holy shit, its Magic Attack is out of this world!
I dashed out of my hiding spot and Charged the Earth Lizard Dragon without hesitation!
Whoosh!
MISS!
I wasn’t able to stun it. I immediately followed up with a triple-hit combo: Ice Ray + Desperate Gambit + basic attack!
Clang clang clang!
Sparks actually flew off the point of contact. It felt like I was hitting solid metal. At the same time, three damage numbers rose into the air—
2272!
3091!
1284!
……
Fuck, what ridiculous Defense! Even my basic attack was only strong enough to deal 1284 damage. Just how much Defense does this fucker have?!
The good news was that my second hit had poisoned the Earth Lizard Dragon, sealing its HP regeneration and reducing its HP every second. I still had a great chance of killing it.
”Roar!”
The giant dragon roared angrily and raised its front paw. Then, the mountain of flesh swung at me!
I raised my sword but quickly discovered that I couldn’t block the attack at all. I was sent flying into the air as pain exploded across my shoulders!
6894!
Holy shit, this motherfucker can kill me in two hits or three! What kind of Attack is this?
Shocked, I immediately turned around and ran toward the exit. Trying to fight the boss head-on would only result in death, the only way to kill it was to exploit this terrain!
The Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf was a loyal and courageous pet, so it charged toward the Earth Lizard Dragon and bought me a couple of precious seconds. Then, the boss flattened it like a pancake before throwing its carcass into its mouth. It was terrible to say the least.
I ran out of the hall with all my might before looking to the back. I aimed at the Earth Lizard Dragon’s head and tossed a Dragon Slaying Slash at it!
Bang!
3092!
Huh, Dragon Slaying Slash can pierce its Defense? The long haul it is then!
I also took the opportunity to check the boss's stats, but sadly I saw nothing except an incredibly intimidating description—

Its infamy had cowed the warriors of Sky City since time immemorial.
