Chapter 646: Dragon Combat
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Wicked Flaming Dragon lounged within the cave, with its nose breathing fire. It appeared to be sleeping.
“Our Windcloud Clan’s main force attempted it a few times but still it was not enough to kill this b*stard,” Brother Windcloud Nine shook his head at the Wicked Flaming Dragon.
“Dark Wing, can the three of us…” Brother Windcloud Nine glanced at Sister Windcloud Nine and continued, “Can the two of us kill the Wicked Flaming Dragon? Do we need to find more people?”
Sister Windcloud Nine timidly raised her hand, “Hubby, I’m here too… What about me…”
“You don’t count.”
“Oh…”
“Let’s give it go first. If we fail, we’ll look for more people.”
“Mm, okay.”
“Let’s talk about the plan…”
Li Yi squatted on the ground to draw the plan.
The frequency of the Wicked Flaming Dragon’s attacks was high so it was mandatory to be familiar in evading its attacks or else they would end up dead regardless of the number of people in the party.
“When the dragon raises its head, we run to two directions…”
Sister Windcloud Nine blinked her big naive-looking eyes, “Why?”
Brother Windcloud Nine glared at her, “Women shouldn’t b.u.t.t in when men are talking. Go squat over there.”
“Oh…”
Sister Windcloud Nine quietly moved aside.
“A real man,” Li Yi gave him the thumbs up.
Brother Windcloud Nine cleared his throat, “Why?”
“Pst haha —” Sister Windcloud Nine burst out laughing but at the sight of Brother Windcloud Nine glaring at her, she immediately covered her mouth.
“The dragon’s head will spew flames in a straight line during this time and it is quite damaging. We would die if we were to face it head-on without activating any skills.”
Brother Windcloud Nine nodded, “Mm, got it.”
“Also, when the Wicked Flaming Dragon’s angry, its head will swing left and right. We must then crawl under its feet as fast we can.”
Sister Windcloud Nine exclaimed, “won’t it stomp… stomp us to our death… Hubby, I’ll stop talking…”
“Humph!” Brother Windcloud Nine retrieved his gaze.
“The shaking of its head signals the Wicked Flaming Dragon’s attempt to unleash an encompa.s.sing Sea of Fire. Only by standing beneath its head, will we be able to evade it. We have to be alert of death by stomp as mentioned by Sister Nine. We need to stand beneath the dragon’s head, not too deep or too far out, or else when those feet land, we’d probably be pancakes.”
“Hahaha…” Sister Windcloud Nine laughed.
After explaining the points to note, Li Yi took out some Advanced-level Fire Resistance Potions and distributed them to Brother Windcloud Nine and spouse.
Brother Windcloud Nine held his s.h.i.+eld as he stood up, making his way towards the Wicked Flaming Dragon.
“Roar —”
The Wicked Flaming Dragon opened its eyes and clawed at Brother Windcloud Nine.
“Taunt and kite it away. Don’t let it face us. Sister Nine, be alert on heals.”
Li Yi tossed a golden Hunt Target on the Wicked Flaming Dragon’s head before drawing Powered-up Arrow back over and over.
Tch tch tch tch tch tch tch tst —
A sky-blue Star Arrow was fired, warping the air around it. When it struck the Wicked Flaming Dragon in the head, the beast retreated a few steps.
[-3213545]
“Roar —”
The super high damage left the Wicked Flaming Dragon’s aggro out of control. It abandoned Brother Windcloud Nine and headed straight for Li Yi.
“OT!”
Sister Windcloud Nine turned to flee. The usually blank-minded Sister Windcloud Nine did have moments when she was quick-witted…
“Brother Nine, throw your s.h.i.+eld!”
Letting out a groan, Li Yi’s body fell backwards. Pseudocide!
The Wicked Flaming Dragon glanced to its surrounding in confusion. It was then that Brother Windcloud Nine’s flying s.h.i.+eld struck it from behind, prompting it to turn around in anger and throw itself at him.
With Pseudocide a success in dispersing aggro, Li Yi waited until Brother Windcloud Nine pulled aggro back before getting up.
Bp! Bp! Bp!
This time, he shot at point-blank with Meteor Arrows instead of using his Territory Skill.
[-56654]
[-86555]
The influence of Territory Power had increased the damage of shots fired at point-blank range. Brother Windcloud Nine slashed repeatedly to make sure aggro was not pulled away.
“Tring tring…”
Standing afar was Sister Windcloud Nine raising her staff to heal. Her cla.s.s was a Curse Priest so her Light Path heals were nothing to talk about.
However, low as it may be, it was a better option for her than having to whack her staff like a Warrior.
Li Yi forbore her from using her Tuhr Sacred Sword. The use of the sacred sword was too early at this stage when the Wicked Flaming Dragon was yet to be killed. Moreover, Sister Nine’s sacred sword was known to cause harm to others first before hurting the enemy. It was better not to use it for safety measures.
Tch tch tch tch tch tch tst —
Li Yi waited for Pseudocide’s cooldown to be over before firing another 8x Powered-up Arrow.
“Roar — ”
Amber Sword Heart and Unending Unmatched would not be able to pull aggro from a 3 million value, let alone Brother Windcloud Nine.
Pseudocide!
Li Yi swiftly dropped to the ground.
The Wicked Flaming Dragon stood there in a daze before suddenly letting a huge howl. Its body jumped back, and its head lifted high.
“Run to both sides!”
Shouted Li Yi as he stood up. He ran towards the left.
Brother Windcloud Nine ran to the right while Sister Windcloud Nine followed Li Yi.
A fire pillar spewed from its mouth for over twenty seconds before gradually disappearing.
Taking the opportunity, Li Yi struck three Territory Skills, reducing the Wicked Flaming Dragon’s HP by 10 million.
“Holy cow!” Brother Windcloud Nine gasped with admiration as he stood at the other end of the fire pillar.
At the end of the Wicked Flaming Dragon’s breath, its head started to swing left and right. Li Yi’s attack was so vicious, it entered the next phase.
“Go under the dragon’s head!”
The trio ran towards the Wicked Flaming Dragon.
The more gruesome Sea of Fire erupted as the dragon’s head swayed around to drown the cave with flames…
Tch tch tch tch tch tst —
Standing under the dragon’s head, Li Yi was still focused on attacking. When the Wicked Flaming Dragon’s Sea of Fire came to an end, another 10 million HP was wiped out.
“Roar — Roar —”
The flames surrounding Wicked Flaming Dragon flared up and Li Yi’s timely order directed the couple to run out from beneath the dragon’s head.
It was imperative to leave from under the dragon’s head at the end of Sea of Fire or it would be TPK by its claw.
Sister Windcloud Nine was on her game today, following instructions well. This surprised Li Yi.
It looked as though the TPK poster child had her moments…
Thump!
Following Sister Windcloud Nine’s act of falling, the Wicked Flaming Dragon took several large strides over and raised its claw, smas.h.i.+ng it down.
Brother Windcloud Nine raised his s.h.i.+eld with Holy s.h.i.+eld Spell in retaliation.
“Clang!”
With Wicked Flaming Dragon’s claw blocked, Sister Windcloud Nine struggled to get up but overwhelmed with fear, she stumbled in her attempt. Fortunately, she was quick on her feet and began to roll.
Sister Windcloud Nine rolled and tumbled eighteen rounds, sliding into the safe zone before Brother Windcloud Nine’s Holy s.h.i.+eld ended.
Brother Windcloud Nine yelled, “Stand back! If you die, you won’t be able to complete the quest.”
Sister Windcloud Nine ran towards the gate before stopping.
Li Yi threw another Hunt Target and drew Powered-up Arrow to reduce the Wicked Flaming Dragon’s HP quickly.
“Roar —”
The Wicked Flaming Dragon came after Li Yi again, spurring Li Yi to drop dead with Pseudocide, only this time it failed. The dragon claw raised up high and smacked down in a huff. In the midst of Sister Windcloud Nine’s scream, Li Yi was crushed on the ground by dragon claw.
[-8765]
[-567]
[-765]
[-765]
His HP dropped from the smack, but the crus.h.i.+ng reduced his HP even more. Fortunately for him, Territory was activated which boosted his attributes, bring up his ATK and DEF.
Brother Windcloud Nine threw his arms in the air.
Holy Healing Skill!”
A golden ray descended from the sky, enveloping Li Yi within. Li Yi’s HP fully recovered. It was then that Sister Windcloud Nine returned to her senses and used her staff to heal.
When the dragon raised its claw, Li Yi stood up and dashed twenty meters away with Rocket Propellant, finally escaping danger.
“Roar — Roar — ”
The Wicked Flaming Dragon retreated and shook its head. It was going to unleash Sea of Fire again.
“Go under the dragon’s head!”
Li Yi shouted as he fled towards the Wicked Flaming Dragon.
Brother Windcloud Nine and Li Yi arrived at almost the same time but Sister Windcloud Nine was slower. She had listened to her husband and ran towards the gate but the return trip back to the dragon was too far away. Without an acceleration skill, how could she possibly reach on time?
“Unleash, Territory!”
A s.h.i.+ny barrier spread out from Li Yi’s body within a 30-yard radius, forming a transparent semi-sphere over the trio and the Wicked Flaming Dragon.
Under the suppression of Li Yi’s Territory, the Wicked Flaming Dragon’s movement turned sluggish. His teammate Sister Windcloud Nine was unaffected and finally made it under the dragon’s head before its breath was unleashed.
“What a fright. Thank G.o.d I didn’t fall…” Sister Windcloud Nine patted her chest and comforted herself.
The moment the Wicked Flaming Dragon raised its head, Li Yi’s Territory light barrier broke to pieces at a cackle. The Wicked Flaming Dragon was too powerful. His Territory could not hold up for long.
Li Yi smiled bitterly, “D*mn, my Territory Power’s almost exhausted. I won’t be much help up against the Fire Dragon Sword later…”
Unleas.h.i.+ng Territory was very consuming. Territory Power was similar to energy. The energy would slowly reduce upon launching but unleas.h.i.+ng Territory would reduce the energy by a large margin.
Take 100 points of Territory Power as an example, 1 Territory Power point would reduce after a certain period but unleas.h.i.+ng Territory in full would reduce 50 Territory Power points or perhaps even more…
“Sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Li Yi flushed over Sister Windcloud Nine’s reply, “Who said you did it on purpose? No need to apologize for such a matter.”
“My husband said I have to apologize if I do something wrong.”
“Your husband taught you well…”
“What?”
“I said your husband’s really good to you.”
“Uh huh uh huh uh huh…” Sister Windcloud Nine gestured a victory sign to Li Yi.
The Sea of Fire outburst lasted longer this time, for about 30 seconds. Compared to before, the Wicked Flaming Dragon moved around while spewing its breath. The trio beneath the dragon’s head had to follow its footsteps.
With a great master like Li Yi around, Brother Windcloud Nine and Sister Windcloud Nine did not have anything to worry about, they only had to follow Li Yi’s instruction.
Golden Hunt Targets were tossed repeatedly at the Wicked Flaming Dragon, and 3 million damage values in red would appear above its head from time to time.
At the end of Sea of Fire, the Wicked Flaming Dragon let out a bellow before its huge head crashed onto the ground…
“Sister Nine, summon your Tuhr Sacred Sword. The Fire Dragon Sword is coming out. Get back!”
Clang! Clang!
The Wicked Flaming Dragon’s corpse quickly shrunk, causing the Fire Dragon Sword to fly out of it.
Clang! Clang!
Sister Windcloud Nine released her Tuhr Sacred Sword!
