The high-flying Berserker was taking a nap in the cabin. Hearing the siren, he hurried onto the deck and looked up at the sky in the direction of Al's finger.
The sun is shining brightly in the summer afternoon, the sky is blue and clear, without a trace of cloud.
However, under the clear sky, a white shadow was flying at high speed, following the fishing boat approaching.
Accompanying that white shadow, there is also a chilling cold air current, which looks particularly weird in this season of bright sunshine!
Eve, Muning and Wush also came to the stern of the boat, looking up at the white shadow getting closer and closer in the sky, unable to hide their uneasiness in their eyes.
Gao Fei recalled the content of the call between Gelmir and the old white dragon August before he left the Island of Rest yesterday, and he had already guessed the identity of the white shadow in the sky.
In order to verify his judgment, he opened the astrolabe and explored the details of the white shadow in the sky.
The results of the investigation soon revealed that it was an adult white dragon named "Buckhouse", the eldest son of the old white dragon August.
This evil dragon who was ordered to hunt down Gao Fei and his party has a challenge level of 10 and has 225 health points, 28 strength, 12 agility, 20 constitution, 10 intelligence, 14 perception, and 16 charm.
What impressed Goofy the most was Backhouse's defense.
In addition to the adult white dragon's natural defense of level 17 and agility correction of 1, Backhouse is also equipped with a layer of magic shield, providing a shield defense of 4, deducting 1 point of large size penalty, and a comprehensive defense level of 31.
The spellcasting ability of an adult white dragon is equivalent to that of a level 2~4 warlock. Under normal circumstances, it can only comprehend magic of level 1 at most.
Backhouse's super high defense shows that this guy is good at level 1 "shield technique".
Goofy was glad that Backhouse didn't understand the "Mage Armor", otherwise it would have been harder to break through the defense.
Similar to the red dragon, the white dragon is also good at dragon power, dragon breath, keen vision, 10/magic damage reduction armor, spell resistance, multi-attack, dive crush, and immunity to sleep and paralysis.
But on the contrary to the red dragon, the white dragon belongs to the cold subspecies and is naturally immune to cold damage, but will be double-killed by fire attacks.
It seems that the red dragon and the white dragon with opposite attributes should become a pair of rivals.
However, in reality, the red dragon does not take the white dragon of the same age into consideration at all, and its strength is overwhelmingly superior to the latter.
Take the dragon's most important attack method "dragon breath" as an example. The dragon breath of a young red dragon is as powerful as the dragon breath of an adult white dragon. Both cause 10d6 damage, and the attack range is also 60 feet linear or 30 feet cone.
It's just that the former is a flame and the latter is a cold current.
As an adult white dragon, Backhouse can walk freely on smooth ice and will never fall. In addition, he has mastered "Strong", "Survival Expert", "Strong Mind and Body" and "Powerful Attack".
Expertise.
Gao Fei briefly evaluated Backhouse's strength and felt that it would be difficult for him to fight against this ferocious adult white dragon in his human form, but if he transformed into a red dragon form and fought him, it would be a 50-50 win, at least he would be 90% sure.
At this time, White Dragon Backhouse had already flown above the fishing boat. His huge body was less than a hundred feet away from the deck. The ferocious aura emanating from his body radiated down, making Eve and others on the boat involuntarily feel fear and panic.
Goofy picked up Olaf's holy ax, raised his head and glared at the white dragon hovering in the sky, and let out a "bloody war cry" to dispel the fear of his companions, but unfortunately he failed to scare away Backhouse.
Eve, Al and Ush came to their senses and quickly attacked the white dragon above them with "acid rays" and javelins.
Two javelins hit Backhouse and were immediately deflected, failing to penetrate the hard dragon scales.
Eve's magic rays were not hindered by the dragon scales and corroded a fist-sized hole in her chest, causing 12 points of acid damage.
Although this level of trauma was nothing to a strong adult white dragon, Backhouse was still taken aback. He hurriedly fluttered his wings and flew away from the attack range of the "acid ray". Then he chanted a spell and a spell appeared all over him.
A big thick fog.
Under the cover of the "Hidden Mist", Backhouse can confidently and boldly dive down to the deck.
While he was descending at a rapid speed, the fog that covered the sky followed him and pressed down on the deck, blocking the view of Gao Fei and others. All subsequent long-range attacks failed.
In the blink of an eye, the white dragon had approached within 30 feet above the deck, opened its mouth under the cover of thick fog, and sprayed out a cone-shaped cold current.
White cold air spurted out from the thick fog, pushing flat from the stern to the bow, and condensed a thick layer of frost on the deck.
Standing on the deck, Gao Fei, Eve, Muning, Al and Wush were all sprayed by the dragon's breath.
Eve, Al and Muning were all frozen and turned pale.
Mu Ning was lucky enough to escape harm by virtue of his "Flash Technique".
The holy ax held by Gao Fei has a built-in immunity advantage against cold attacks, which protected him from passing the "reflex immunity".
Normally, you should take half the damage from the dragon's breath, but Gao Fei also has a "Wild Intuition" that can completely avoid damage as long as you pass a reflex save.
Standing on the ice-covered bow of the ship, flying high and looking up at the sky.
When you see Backhouse hovering high in the sky, you know that this guy is waiting for the dragon's breath to cool down.
White dragons have always been recognized as the most stupid and savage among the dragons. Backhouse did not land directly to fight in hand-to-hand combat, but used his flying advantage to continuously breathe dragon breath. This shows that he is one of the smarter ones among the white dragons.
Of course, it is more likely that he received guidance from the Ice Tower Warlock Gelmir before his arrival, and knew that the prey he was tracking was by no means a soft persimmon, so he was extra cautious.
"Eve, take the others and hide in the cabin immediately! Leave that white dragon in the sky to me to deal with!"
After a few hurried explanations, Gao Fei activated "Rage", transformed into a red dragon form, spread his wings and flew off the deck.
For this transformation, Gao Fei chose the "Rampage" mode, which increased his agility attribute to 25. In addition to gaining a huge advantage in mobility, he could also provide an agility correction of 7 for defense. The comprehensive defense level reached 33, compared with
Backhouse is 2 levels higher.
If you choose the "Rampage" mode, the strength attribute becomes a shortcoming.
Fortunately, after Gao Fei transformed into dragon form, he still held the holy ax tightly.
Counting the 4 points of strength provided by the Holy Axe, his strength attribute is now 26, only 2 points lower than Backhouse, basically at the same level.
In addition to increasing strength, the Holy Ax also provides Goofy with 5/adamantine damage-reducing armor and an attack roll advantage against evil creatures.
A natural weapon of the Dragon family, with its own enchantment effects.
So when two giant dragons collide, each other's damage-reducing armor (10/magic) is just a decoration and has no damage-reducing effect at all.
