BXBX NOVEL Chapter 160 - The Last Stand (IX)
"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.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?" some of the magician players didn\'t expect me to pull out something like that. After all, [Holy Ray] is a Tier 5 skill of the Holy Knight\'s Class Change, Bishop of Light. It is quite the skill that can deal a huge amount of Light Damage, it is only second of the strongest light skill of the Bishop of Light, the [Hama].
The dragon roared in pain, as the skill already melted quite a big amount of flesh from the boss.
"While the boss is still trying to recover from the attack I made, everyone should start dealing damage!"
The magicians did as I told, the tanks ready their defenses in case an attack will suddenly break out.
"Why you didn\'t use that earlier? That attack earlier was very effective against the boss!" Bloodaxe complained.
"Haha, of course, I wouldn\'t use it. After all, if I spammed it and keep it using against the dragon, how would you guys get a contribution on killing the boss? In the end, I will have the highest contribution and the drops that will be dropped might end up as mine as well."
Because the Scrolls I created are those abilities that should only be available to high leveled players, once I use these scrolls on a boss fight, they would end up dead before I knew it and the players will start complaining again about how overpowered I am and how I hoard all of the drops because I got all of the contribution defeating the boss.
This way everyone progresses into the game without hindrance. After all, they didn\'t do anything to me in the past timeline. The only people who I want to screw up their progress are Kazuki and everyone who mocked and beat me up in the past.
Dirac\'s Hp rapidly fell and in about a few minutes of repeating the attacks, we are now in the final phase of the boss. The moment its HP reached the last bar, the dark dragon summoned a dark abyss behind which suddenly envelopes its whole body.
A sudden ominous feeling looms around us and the ground started to shake and a panel appeared before us.
[Dirac\'s health is in critical mode. Due to his desperate attempt to defeat everyone in the process, he decided to summon the abyss contract realm and cover his body with it. Hold out for 10 minutes and your win will surely be guaranteed!]
I didn\'t expect to see this and will be experiencing it again. In raid battles, once the boss\'s HP was reduced to the last bar, the boss will either undergo these forms which occur in different bosses; they will go berserk, they will be stunned and their defenses will be reduced to a certain extent, buffs will be applied and the last and the nastiest of them all is the time stalling trial.
The info on how to win is incomplete in the info but the boss will undergo an invincible state and will inflict true damage to their enemies during that 10 minutes. And since the boss will deal true damage, the tanks are useless now and no one will be able to withstand it.
"Everyone! Don\'t let the boss hit you! No matter what is going to happen, do not block the attack! Ready your potions and do not die! We need to hold off for 10 minutes to win! Tanks, remember that do not block or attack the boss! Just hold up to 10 minutes and be patient! Go and focus on the attacks and dodge them to avoid getting squashed to death!"
Since I got everyone in my side, everyone nodded and followed my order. After all, someone lost their chances to gain contribution the moment they died earlier. They didn\'t want to die and lose the equipment that will drop once they die.
The dragon\'s attacks are all random, it will either stomp its feet, flap its wings hard until it creates a mini-tornado, fire off black flames randomly and use its flames on the ground to burn random places on the ground. All of these attacks have the big potential to obliterate anyone caught in this and die. Not even a potion can save you from this.
However, I don\'t know if we can last that long, seeing that the attacks that are happening are pretty brutal and some of the players are not too sure if they can even dodge those.
"Master, how about you use that one skill your Versatile Weapon that has unlocked after devouring many things? You know, the [Incomplete Rhongomyniad]? Maybe you should test it out?" Atlas whispered in my ear.
