Chapter 900 - Resurrection (1/2)
The number of casualties quickly rose until there were only 11 people left alive: Nie Yan, Xie Yao, Tang Yao, Lofty Shadow, Young Seven, Painted Muslin, Black Heaven, Black Hell, Lustboy, Hapless Frog, and Happy Hermit. None of the physical damage dealers dared to clash with the berserk Thunder Dragon, so only Xie Yao, Tang Yao, Lustboy, and Black Hell fought it. They were still slowly chipping away at its health.
With only four casters who could effectively attack the Thunder Dragon, the team’s damage output was severely restricted. All the while they had to avoid the Thunder Dragon’s pursuit. Not to mention keep Fallen Angel Brufut busy.
The Thunder Dragon only had 5% health remaining, but that was still over 12,000,000 health! Killing it wouldn’t be simple.
The situation was desperate. Nie Yan ordered in a grave tone, “Muslin, get out of here first. The farther, the better! Escape the battle!”
Painted Muslin immediately understood Nie Yan’s plan. Without any hesitation, she bolted toward the door of the shrine.
Fallen Angel Brufut sneered, unimpressed. “Lowly ant! Think you can run? Not so easy!” He raised his greatsword and called down a blazing meteor from the air.
Just as the meteor was about to crash into Painted Muslin, she vanished with Space Jump and reappeared 60 meters away. She fled the shrine without looking back.
BANG! The meteor struck the ground and erupted into a plume of scorching hot flames. However, it already had nothing to do with Painted Muslin.
Painted Muslin has left the battle.
Nie Yan smiled. Everything was going according to plan. He shifted his sight toward the rampaging Thunder Dragon. Now, he could focus on killing it! After, he would proceed to the next step of his plan.
“GROAAHH!” The Thunder Dragon closed in on Black Hell. It struck down with its claws, about to rip him to shreds, when Black Hell let out a loud roar. He erupted with magical energy, which became increasingly volatile until he finally exploded. A self-destruct skill!
The force of the explosion sent the Thunder Dragon flying before crashing against a wall.
−6,835,676
This skill was also a Forbidden Magic, though it was stronger than normal ones since it required the caster to sacrifice their life.
The Thunder Dragon only had around 2% health remaining.
“Only 2% more! Come on, guys! We can do this!” Tang Yao exclaimed. He waved his staff and unleashed a fierce barrage of spells.
The Thunder Dragon pounced toward Tang Yao.
As the powerful dragon aura swept over him, Tang Yao felt his body go rigid. This aura was even stronger than before! It felt as if he were being bound by a rope.
“Cover Sparrow Hawk!”
Hapless Frog and Happy Hermit attempted to intercept the Thunder Dragon. BANG! BANG! The two were sent flying away. There was no way a couple of Thieves could stop a dragon.
The Thunder Dragon blasted Tang Yao with Dragon Breath, completing enveloping him in scorching hot flames.
The two Thieves and Tang Yao all died.
“Boss, me and Yao Yao aren’t enough. We’re barely dealing enough damage to overcome its health regeneration! We’d need hours to kill it like this!” Lustboy cried out.
“Young Seven, Lofty Shadow, you two keep Brufut busy. Buy me as much time as you can!” Nie Yan said before turning towards the Thunder Dragon.
“Got it!” Lofty Shadow said.
“Leave it to us!” Young Seven nodded.
Without Nie Yan’s help, the two of them wouldn’t last long against Fallen Angel Brufut. All they could do was give it their best!
Shadow Waltz!
Nie Yan disappeared into stealth as he dashed toward the Thunder Dragon.
Bladelight and the other melee classes, each barely dealing 2,000 damage a hit, had shown just how high the Thunder Dragon’s physical defense was. Its thick black scales with a deep gold lustre were near impenetrable with the sword. Nie Yan could only hope his damage would be higher.
Nie Yan looked like a steak of lightning as he pounced toward the Thunder Dragon’s back.
The Thunder Dragon’s damage reflection skill had worn off.
Backbreaker!
BANG! The sharp blade of the Bloody Dagger plunged into the Thunder Dragon’s spine.
Given how large and unwieldy the Thunder Dragon was, it couldn’t possibly avoid Nie Yan’s attack.
The Bloody Dagger’s piercing effect procc’d, allowing the attack to break through the Thunder Dragon’s scales. This was a Level 180 Legendary weapon. Such power was to be expected of it.
−205,981
The Thunder Dragon was immobilized.
The Thunder Dragon still had around 5,000,000 health left. As long as Nie Yan could keep it CC’d, he had a chance of killing it.
Nie Yan leaned to the side and executed a Reverse Grip Backstab.
Assassinate! Backstab! Nie Yan let loose with a flurry of attacks.
1-hit, 2-hit, 3-hit...
