A Level 150 Spirit Rank boss. The heavy words made me both worried and happy at the same time. I finally had a chance to challenge a Level 150 boss again. The other readers looked at it normally:!
… …
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Earth Lizard Dragon smashed through the stone wall and roared angrily. Then, it spat out another mouthful of Dragon Breath at me. It was about 30 yards away, enough time for me to react. I abruptly changed direction and speed and used the stone chest as cover. With my reaction speed, it wasn't too much of a problem for me to dodge the Dragon Breath.
Hiss hiss …
I felt a burning sensation on my arm. Even though I tried my best to dodge, the Dragon Breath still burned my elbow and dealt 2000 + damage.
I looked back at the scorch marks on the ground. Mn, it was just a straight line between me and the Earth Lizard Dragon. 45 degrees to the side wasn't enough to dodge all of the Dragon Breath's attacks. Next time, I'd have to do it at least 60 degrees, or I'd still get hit.
I used Dragon Slaying Slash again and again, chipping away at the Earth Lizard Dragon's HP bit by bit. The Dragon Slaying Slash had become my ultimate weapon when it came to killing bosses. It was a long-range attack, and its attack power was incredible. As a warrior, I didn't know how to use traps or magic, so there was very little room for me to maneuver when killing bosses. The Dragon Slaying Slash, on the other hand, gave me a lot of room to maneuver and challenge any melee boss.
The Earth Lizard Dragon roared and raised its front claws, crushing the stone chest that would take two people to wrap their arms around. Fuck, this boss was too fierce. I couldn't rely on the terrain to exploit the bug. I had to rely on my own skill and positioning to kill it!
… …
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
A giant claw as sharp as a blade collided with the tip of the Heaven-stealing Sword and sent me stumbling backward. My HP had dropped by a huge chunk, but the Earth Lizard Dragon opened its giant maw and swallowed me whole. A ball of scorching fire was inside its mouth, and the skin on its neck was bulging. This dragon breath was definitely going to be fatal!
My left arm was pinned to the stone wall by the dragon's claw, so I couldn't move at all. A premonition that I was about to die came over me, and I reacted almost without thinking. I put away the Heaven-stealing Sword and summoned a crimson cyclone of flames around my fist. Gritting my teeth, I punched the dragon in the head!
Magic Breaking Fist!
Boom!
The Earth Lizard Dragon shook its head from side to side as the powerful punch landed. The dragon breath it was about to unleash was killed just like that!
“2563！”
Tsk tsk, Magic Breaking Fist is a pretty good skill. Not only can it interrupt a spell, it can also deal a lot of damage. It's even stronger than my all-out attack with the Heaven-stealing Sword!
While the Earth Lizard Dragon was knocked back by the Magic Breaking Fist, I swung my sword a couple more times to poison the boss. Then, I turned around and retreated like a loach while firing a couple of Dragon Slaying Slashes at the boss. I had to kill it quickly. The Earth Lizard Dragon had at least 2 million HP, and if I wanted to kill it with poison alone, it would take forever.
"Roar!"
After being humiliated, the Earth Lizard Dragon let out a furious roar and opened its mouth. Then, it spat fire that blotted out the sky and scorched a large area with its head. I was standing right in the middle of the sea of fire, and even though I had Stone Bell's boobs to cover my back, my HP was still dropping rapidly under the scorching heat of the flames. The other readers were just looking at me:!
“4023！”
“4284！”
“4227！”
… …
I hurriedly used Tenacity of the Dead and drank a Rank 9 Health Potion. I barely managed to pull myself back from the brink of death, but before I could celebrate, the Earth Lizard Dragon rushed toward me again and swung its giant claw at me!
"Boom!"
My body shook violently, and I was sent flying like a kite with its string cut. Even though I had used a defensive skill, I was still sent flying. The Earth Lizard Dragon's Strength was at least twice as high as mine, or it wouldn't have been so domineering.
Like an unkillable cockroach, I rolled a dozen or so meters away after landing on the ground. Then, I turned around and sprinted away. Half a second after I left the area, the Earth Lizard Dragon's head smashed into a giant rock. Fuck, if I was a normal person, I would've been smashed into meat paste already!
"Roar roar …"
The Earth Lizard Dragon roared and chased after me like a hungry beast. It opened its maw and used Dragon Breath again!
I saw everything clearly and stomped my war boots on the edge of the stone bell's chest. With a loud clang, I shot out like a bolt of lightning in a 60 degree tangential direction and barely dodged the dragon breath. While I was in midair, I swung the Heaven-stealing Sword without even turning my head to look at the dragon breath!
Dragon Slaying Slash!
"Boom!"
“3874！”
It was a perfect hit!
Dragon Slaying Slash wasn't a lock-on skill to begin with, and I didn't need to use my eyes to lock on to the Earth Lizard Dragon. The red dot on the map was too obvious, and I could determine its location at any time. It felt like a blind snipe in Counter Strike. Once I knew where it was, I just had to dodge and fire. I didn't need time to determine its location, and this way, I could buy myself as much time as possible to escape.
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye. I summoned the Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf that had already died once, and controlled the little wolf to block the Earth Lizard Dragon's path while I used Dragon Slaying Slash myself. The pressure on me instantly doubled, but the pressure on me to take damage was greatly reduced.
The Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf growled and ran in front of the Earth Lizard Dragon in a zigzag pattern. I couldn't help but feel lucky that the Earth Lizard Dragon was a land dragon. If it was a giant flying dragon, this zigzag tactic would've been useless.
The originally quiet and dark cave was now filled with the rumbling of thunder. The green luster of the Dragonslaying Slash lit up everything in the cave like lightning. The roars of giant dragons, the sounds of battle, everything intertwined as if it was the prelude to the death of the violent dragon known as the Earth Lizard Dragon.
… …
I focused and ran in an S-shaped zigzag pattern to avoid the Earth Lizard Dragon's pursuit. At the same time, I kept my mind as calm as water. This was the only way I could perfectly control two things at the same time. The Greedy Wolf's zigzag pattern was a profound skill. I couldn't let the Earth Lizard Dragon escape from its zigzag pattern, but I couldn't get too stuck either. Otherwise, the Earth Lizard Dragon's aggro would shift and kill me with a couple of slaps.
This tactic was similar to the way kings of ancient times used to control their subjects. They couldn't tyrannize their subjects, but they had to abide by strict national laws and regulations. This seemed to be the principle of letting go, but not letting go. Right now, the Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf seemed to be toying with the Earth Lizard Dragon. It kept zigzagging the Earth Lizard Dragon, and when the Earth Lizard Dragon was about to get angry, the Greedy Wolf immediately dashed forward to release its aggro.
Even so, I still couldn't avoid the Earth Lizard Dragon's enhanced Dragon Breath. My HP was dropping like crazy in a sea of fire.
This boss was incredibly difficult to kill, and I could die at any moment. I had to use Counter Charge to apply poison, Guard, Block, and Block to escape. I had to push my mechanics and skills to the limit, but even so, the health potions in my bag kept running out. The Earth Lizard Dragon's movement speed was just too fast, and its attack power was just too high. In short, I was about to die of exhaustion after killing this boss. Book fans like to read: "Heaven Lizard Dragon".
Beep!
It was at this moment I received a message from Beiming Xue: "Big bro, it's almost 8 pm. Are you ready to go to the class reunion with me?"
I checked the boss's HP. It still had 41% HP left. An hour's time was more or less enough to deal with it. I replied, "Yeah. Go dress up first. I'll log out before 9 pm and drive over. It won't take too long."
"Okay. What are you doing, big bro?"
"Let me show you a video …"
"Oh?"
I shared my vision with Beiming Xue so she could see what I was looking at. She immediately exclaimed, "Wow, it's a huge dragon!
Big bro, you really are killing a dragon … "
"Yeah. It's strong, isn't it? If it drops any leather armor, it's yours."
"Heh, big bro, I love you ~"
Me: "..."
… …
Beiming Xue logged out of the game as fast as she could while I continued to fight. The Earth Lizard Dragon's HP was constantly being whittled away, and I felt like I was a warrior walking on the edge of a sword with the Earth Lizard Dragon right behind me. Every time I used Charge to stun it, every time I used Magic Piercing Fist to save it, I would've died a million times over if I hadn't learned the Magic Piercing Fist.
Time passed bit by bit, and the dragon lair was a complete mess. The surroundings were scorched black by Dragon Breath, and the Earth Lizard Dragon's HP was dropping like crazy. My Dragon Slaying Slash wasn't an instant-cast skill, so I couldn't attack it with ease. Every 10 seconds or so, I could buy myself a chance to use Dragon Slaying Slash, and every minute I ran, I dealt 40k damage, 400k damage, 10 minutes, and 4 million damage in 100 minutes. However, it had been more than an hour already, and it was clear that the Earth Lizard Dragon's HP was ridiculously high. It probably had over 3 million HP, if not more.
The Earth Lizard Dragon's HP finally dropped to less than 5% at 20: 47 PM. I was very nervous because this was the moment we decided to kill this boss. The closer we got to the end, the more crucial it would be. I couldn't afford to be late, so I had to kill this boss without a hitch!
A dazzling cyan blade materialized in the air and slammed into the boss's head. The Earth Lizard Dragon probably hated Dragon Slaying Slash to the bone. It roared and charged at me, but the Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf was blocking its path. It couldn't deal any critical melee damage to me, and I could dodge its Dragon Breath.
My heart raced faster and faster as I watched the boss's HP drop bit by bit. 4%!
3%！
2%！
1%！
When the boss's HP dropped to the last sliver, I grinned and used my Blaze Greedy Wolf to block its path. While the boss was charging up its Dragon Breath, I unleashed my ultimate skill!
A beam of purple light shot into the sky as energy gathered around the Heaven-stealing Sword. Soon enough, the image of a purple dragon circled around the blade. I hurled the Purple Dragon Howl at the sword and threw it toward the sword!
Boom boom boom!
Purple Dragon Howl exploded, and the Earth Lizard Dragon howled in pain. It was at this moment that the Level 150 boss finally met its end!
Swhoosh!
A beam of golden light shot into the air, and I leveled up to 97% of Level 118. Not far away, the Earth Lizard Dragon's gigantic body collapsed and dropped a ton of loot.
