Chapter 21: Time-limited rescue

"Stop talking! My dear, please stop talking!"

Being complained about by his girlfriend in front of his face made Gao Fei feel uncomfortable and he changed the subject angrily.

"Let's get into the game quickly. If we don't save people, Director Gordon will be eaten alive by the old black dragon!"

"Don't worry, this is just a game after all. The plot will not advance until the players enter the game. I think the director can hold on for a while longer." Jiang Feng said cheerfully.

Gao Fei switched to the first-person perspective, and before the cutscene ended, he took the time to open the astrolabe and investigate the mighty black dragon.

The more powerful the Boss, the less information the system provides. Currently, Gao Fei can only detect the challenge level, basic attributes and magic equipment of Solomon Raging Waves, but does not know any other data.

The True Dragons are all born dragon-blooded warlocks. As a mature black dragon, Solomon Fury has a spellcasting ability equivalent to a level 7 warlock, a challenge level of 13, and his attributes are: Strength 33, Agility 14, Constitution 27, Intelligence 18, and Perception.

20, charm 25.

When Gao Fei looked at his attributes, he noticed something was wrong. They were obviously higher than the average level of a mature black dragon.

Continue to look at the equipment this evil dragon carries, and sure enough, it includes a "gorgeous belt" with a full attribute of 4.

When Solomon Fury transformed from human form into a dragon, this belt integrated into his body and still exerted its magical effect.

In addition to the belt, the evil dragon also wears a magic ring on the ring fingers of both claws.

The "Transformation Ring" worn on his left hand allows Solomon Fury to transform into a human form at will and move around the city as Old Lucas.

The "Level Magic Forbidden Ring" worn on the right hand, after activation, can open a "Level Spell Invalid Barrier" surrounding the evil dragon with a radiation radius of 10 feet.

Any magic effect not higher than level 3 cannot affect the inside of the barrier. On the contrary, Solomon Raging Waves can cast spells from inside the barrier without restriction.

So, what spells is Solomon Fury good at?

Out of curiosity, Gao Fei opened the "Spell Thief's" unique secret skill "Eye of Insight" to spy on the evil dragon's spell list.



Level 0 - rotten water, acid splash, mage's hand, secondary phantom, detect magic;

Level 1 - Mage Armor, Shield, Magic Missile, Charm Humans;

Level 2 - Darkness, Spider Web, Protection from Arrows, Cloud and Mist, Flying Insects and Animals;

Level 3 - Lightning beam, dispersion, protective energy barrier.



Goofy rubbed his hands and was about to steal the dragon's spell, but Solomon Raging Waves jumped on Police Chief James Gordon first, held him in his claws, crashed through the ceiling, and spread his wings to fly!

The evil dragon was hovering over the police station, and the vertical distance from the ground was no less than a hundred feet. However, Gao Fei's "long-range technique" could only steal spells within 30 feet, so he had to temporarily give up the idea of ​​stealing spells.

At the same time, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng finally received the main mission prompt from Astrolabe:



Within three rounds, try to rescue Commissioner Gordon from the dragon's claws; or, while ensuring Commissioner Gordon's survival, inflict at least 100 points of damage to Solomon Fury!



The rescue time left for the protagonist group is only three short rounds.

In such a short period of time, it was too difficult to rescue the hostages from the claws of a giant dragon hovering in the sky. Gao Fei and Jiang Feng had no clue at all, let alone Martin.

On the contrary, it seems easier to inflict 100 points of damage to the dragon within three rounds?

However, if you think about it for a moment, you will find that this is not the case.

Solomon Raging Waves is blessed with "Mage Armor" and "Shield", and his defense is ridiculously high.

What makes Gao Fei even more troublesome is that this evil dragon also wears a "secondary magic-forbidden ring", which is immune to magic below level 3.

Goofy's main output method, "Scorching Ray", is only a 2-level spell that cannot penetrate the dragon's forbidden magic barrier.

Jiang Feng's 3rd level "Scorching Glory" is also unable to penetrate the forbidden magic barrier. Fortunately, she also has 4th level "Flame Strike" which is not restricted by the barrier.

Jiang Feng was eager to save people, so he waved his hand and released the "Flame Strike" without much thought.

A pillar of golden-red fire shot up into the sky, like a blazing fountain, instantly engulfing the evil dragon in mid-air.

HP-27!

Seeing this damage figure, Jiang Feng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The lethality of "Flame Strike" is as high as 15d6, and it hits the black dragon firmly. The damage caused is obviously lower than the mathematical expectation. Is it bad luck, or does the opponent pass the reflex save?

Jiang Feng checked the battle records with confusion. It turned out that Solomon Fury was also blessed with a "fire-proof barrier" that could absorb a total of 120 points of fire damage.

"Flame Strike" has both "flame" and "brilliance" energy, each accounting for half. The former is absorbed by the "Fire Barrier", and only the latter causes damage to Solomon Furious Waves, so the final damage data displayed is only

Half of what was expected.

If that was all, Jiang Feng would still continue to release the "Flame Strike". After three rounds, the probability of the cumulative damage exceeding 100 points is not low.

However, another system prompt forced her to give up and continue casting spells.

At the same time that Solomon Raging Waves was bombarded by the "Flame Strike", Director Gordon, who was held hostage by the evil dragon, was also accidentally injured by the "Fire Strike" and received 54 points of damage!

If the fight continues like this, the hostages will die before the rescue mission is completed.

The first round was over. Jiang Feng was biting his lip in anxiety, but he couldn't think of a way to save him.

On the other side, Goofy and Martin are also trying to attack the dragon.

Neither of them had any spells suitable to deal with Solomon Fury, so they could only raise their guns to shoot at the evil dragon hovering above their heads.

However, the bullets fired by the two men were bounced off by the hard dragon scales and failed to break through the defense.

The mature black dragon has 20 points of natural armor. Taking into account the gain provided by the protection spell, Solomon Fury's defense level is as high as 38!

When Goofy shoots Solomon Fury, he can only break through the defense if he rolls a "big success" of 20 on the attack roll, and this probability is only a pitiful 5%.

Even if Goofy succeeds in his gamble and hits 4 times the critical hit with one shot, the mathematical expectation of damage is only about 60 points, and he needs to hit at least two critical hits to complete the mission.

This is really too difficult.

Goofy didn't want to gamble his luck, so he had to give up the second condition to pass the level, and instead tried to get close to the dragon and rescue Commissioner Gordon from the dragon's claws.

The system is counting down, and there are two rounds left in the rescue operation.

Gao Fei thought for a moment, turned around and whispered to Martin.

Martin nodded repeatedly, put away his rifle, and used the third-level "Monster Summoning Technique" to summon a giant eagle and command it to fly into the sky.

The giant eagle was forced by its master's order and flew towards Solomon Fury. As soon as it got close to the evil dragon, it was so frightened by the dragon that it trembled all over and could not find the courage to attack its natural enemy.

Martin originally did not expect the giant eagle to kill the evil dragon. He summoned it just to act as cannon fodder, distracting the evil dragon and facilitating the upcoming rescue operation of Gao Fei and Jiang Feng.
