BXBX NOVEL Chapter 92 - Flood Dragon Part 2
Ryu was the first to toss a soul bolt at the flood dragon as well as using heroic shout to anger it. Chi followed it up with one of her ranged spells as well. Rose was not far behind as she shot off multiple spells in a single go.
"Roar! Puny humans dare to attack me! Die!" The flood dragon was being angered to death! It never thought these puny humans would actually hurt it! Enraged, the flood dragon made its way to the shore under the constant barrage of attacks from the puny humans.
"It\'s almost on the shore. WhiteLotus and Violet, get ready!" Ryu yelled out over team chat. He then rushed forward and released another heroic shout. This second taunt caused the flood dragon to Roar in anger and charged at Ryu.
WhiteLotus finally got her chance to attack and began releasing all her skills one after the other. Chi began tossing in her melee attacks while Rose continued her magic bombardment. The health of the flood dragon was slowly beginning to reduce. One thing that Ryu noticed was that monsters of the soul sensing realm had a lot of health! And what made things worse was this flood dragon had some kind of self regeneration. For every 100 heath that was taken away, 10 would regenerate. Luckily Ryu and Chi were able to do high damage, or this would be a losing battle right from the start. Although it was high, it was only around 150 health per attack. This thing had close to 70,000 health!
So far, during this fight, WhiteLotus felt like she was utterly useless. She was doing barely any damage, and she was far from being able to take a single hit from this flood dragon and not need healing right away. Instead of her being the off tank, the aggro was bouncing back and forth between Chi and Ryu. But she was not discouraged as she was still a complete realm lower than the flood dragon. So this was basically a fight between the flood dragon, Chi, and Ryu.
After almost ten minutes of fighting the flood, dragon, Rose, Violet, and WhiteLotus were beginning to grow fatigued. But even if they were tired and running out of mana or stamina, the three girls continued pushing harder. Even if what they were doing seemed useless, they still wanted to help as much as they could.
Chi, who was watching Ryu fight only pulling aggro once and a while, began refining her footwork more, trying to keep up with Ryu in order to help him as much as possible. This fight was actually a good motivation booster allowing her to speed up her attacks more and more.
But as everyone was progressing and pushing past their limits, the flood dragon was getting angrier and angrier. "Roar! Puny Humans die!" The back scales of the flood dragon began to glow as streams of water came out of the pond like whips lashing out at everyone.
"Everyone dodge!" Ryu yelled out in warning, but the whips were just too fast. While Rose and Violet were out of the range of the whips, WhiteLotus was not so lucky as she took a hit from one of the whips sending her flying across the room smashing into a wall. Luckily Violet was ready for this and quickly cast a healing spell on her. "WhitLotus, you okay!?"
"I\'m fine. Just give me a second to get some health back." WhiteLotus replied.
"Okay, heal up quickly!" Ryu said as he released another heroic shout, once again regaining aggro. But this did not last long because Chi suddenly hit ten consecutive crits pulling aggro once more.
Once again, the flood dragon was thoroughly enraged and caused another round of whips made of water to be sent out. Chi dodged one but was unable to dodge the next two as they both slammed into her sending her flying headfirst into a far wall by the pond.
"Chi!" Ryu\'s eyes widened as he saw Chi lying on the ground lifelessly.
"Ryu, she\'s out of range. I can\'t heal her!" Violet yelled out. She couldn\'t get any closer, or she would be targeted by the water whips, and if she died, there would be no healer.
"Damn it!" Ryu was truly angered. He couldn\'t believe this damn monster hurt Chi! Ryu\'s attacks suddenly became faster than ever before as he pushed forward into the flood dragon. The flood dragon was unable to use the water whips on Ryu with him being so close so he could only use his front claws.
But seeing how even attacking with its claws was useless, the Flood Dragon began retreating backwards into the water. As soon as it hit the water edge, it turned and dove back into the pond, leaving Ryu standing at the edge of the shore. Ryu was completely angered by the flood dragon trying to escape like this. He looked at Chi, who seemed to be unconscious from hitting her head, and clenched his fist. Sparks of lightning began forming in his fist as he yelled out: "This fucking monster dares to hurt Chi!"

Ryu pointed his sword towards the water, and a bolt of lightning shot into the water directly at the flood dragon hiding under the water. The intense heat of the lightning began to heat the water at a rapid pace until it was steaming hot. A branch of lightning kept bouncing off the water\'s surface, striking Chi, slowly healing her wounds.
The attack lasted the entire duration, and the smell of burning flesh bubbled up to the pond\'s surface. The flood dragon under the water burst out and roared out in anger. "Puny humans die!"
Ryu smirked as he looked over at Chi, who had recovered enough to lift her head. She gave a nod and reached out her hand toward Ryu. "Who is going to die has yet to be decided." Ryu\'s lips curled up into a smile, and reached out his hand towards Chi as he softly spoke: "Twin lightning!"
