"Insignificant human, ridiculous paladin, you have no idea what you are going to face!"
John's words angered the violent red dragon. It spread its wings and climbed upward while taking a "deep breath" like a red dragon.
It's brewing!
John obviously saw his intention. Paladin John and Tia stood side by side in front of the sorceress and commanded:
"Follow me first. When the dragon's breath comes, immediately spread out and dodge! Shatara, energy resistance!"
Normally, when faced with Dragon Breath, you should just spread out, but the space here is too small, and if you spread out again, you can only jump into the sea, and the [Guardian Aura] of the Paladin also has a distance limit.
"Your Excellency Victor!"
Satara put her hands on the backs of Tia and John, and then shouted to Victor
"You don't have to worry about me!"
The sorceress's voice brought the muscular man back to his senses, and he also heard John's command.
Victor shook his head and refused her spell blessing. Casting additional spells would increase the burden on the sorceress. As for the dragon's breath, he also wanted to try it.
After all, he had faced Kaido's "hot breath" directly. Compared with Kaido's "green dragon" figure that covered the sky and the sun after his transformation, the red dragon in front of him was obviously not enough.
Several rays of blue light flashed over John and the others, and Shatara completed the spell casting at John's instruction.
Three-ring protection spell [defensive energy]
It can grant the willing creatures in contact with resistance to a type of damage chosen by the caster: acid, ice, fire, lightning or thunder. There is no doubt that Shatara chose fire resistance.
Tia didn't say anything, she just stood silently in front of Shatara and tapped the shield in her hand rhythmically with her battle ax to attract the dragon's attention.
"Coming!"
Victor reminded aloud
The red dragon swoops down from high altitude and rushes inland from the seaside
Fiery flames spurted out from its bloody mouth, and the cone-shaped flames approached everyone.
It seems that it does not intend to burn the adventurers directly, but to drive them away from the seaside.
Its attempt seemed to have succeeded. Driven by the fierce flames, John and the others had to enter the thorny jungle in embarrassment. The flames burned the shrubs and vines behind them into ashes.
The Paladin gave Shatara the blessing of [Free Movement], which allows her to travel through the jungle without being restricted by the terrain.
However, this spell can only be used on one person, and it is a fourth-level spell, which greatly consumes John's spellcasting ability.
The effect of the spell was obvious. Shatara, who had the weakest physical condition, quickly hid in the depths of the jungle, while the paladin and the female warrior were both tortured and bruised by the thorns.
At this time, John also reacted, and he understood the red dragon's intention: it was still teasing them! Or it wanted to capture them alive!
This made the paladin frown deeply. He and Tia turned their heads to face the red dragon at the same time. Oops! What did they see——
Victor, who was running, took his smoking left hand back to his chest to check. The armored and hardened arm was only slightly red on the surface. To be honest, the temperature was average.
——He just deliberately extended his arm into the range of the red dragon's breath to experience the power of the dragon's breath
His actions greatly provoked the arrogant red dragon. Maxima chased Victor with her breath and sprayed it. Embarrassingly, she couldn't catch up. During this period, its cone-shaped flames were also deflected by the muscular man.
In just ten seconds, before the eyes of John and Tia, the red dragon's flame breath left an arc-shaped scorch mark 40 feet wide and 600 feet long on the ground, and all the trees and vines along the way turned into black charcoal.
"roar"
After finishing breathing, Maxima admired her "masterpiece" and roared to the sky. Its mighty momentum was so arrogant that it almost shocked the minds of all the team members.
This is the red dragon, its flames are unstoppable, and the adventurers can only run away in confusion!
——Except that man
Victor clenched his black fists, looked up at the red figure hovering in the sky and frowned slightly.
"It's so arrogant, and the sound is so unpleasant!"
In an instant, the black muscular man disappeared from the ground. When the adventurers caught him again, he had already raised his fists above his head and slapped the dragon on the face with a proud expression!
A slap in the face!
Maxima's head was beaten to one side, and some of the scales on her cheek were also broken.
At the same time, at an angle that the red dragon could not see, a red light quickly shot towards the root of its left dragon wing.
That's Yorick's "Needles"!
However, the dragon's swinging body under attack caused the arrow to deviate from its intended position - but it happened to hit near the red dragon's back door...
"Ouch~"
The piercing howl suddenly resounded across the sky
The battle-hardened instinct allowed Maxima to immediately increase the distance from the ground.
Victor also fell to the ground, his chest rising and falling rapidly - he needed a moment to calm down his breathing, and the injury to his right lung limited the performance of his strength.
He squinted his eyes and saw that the three-foot-long arrow had sunk nearly two feet into the red dragon's back door. This situation made him tense up...
Victor turned his head and gave a thumbs up in Yorick's direction.
I have to say, this elf has something good, but his archery skills are also a bit dirty.
He also saw the aggrieved expressions of John and Tia - they had no long-range strike capabilities, and ordinary throwing axes and hidden weapons were meaningless against such a giant beast.
it's too flexible in the sky
Unless the dragon is allowed to fall to the ground, it will be difficult for them to be effective
Satara and Doso still don't have much action, and their fragile bodies try not to attract the monster's attention in this kind of battle.
DPS cannot be OT. Once the hatred is stable, there will be no problem. I don’t know what good opportunity Yorick just saw...
Maxima was hovering high in the sky. It wanted to move its head to remove the arrow from its butt, but unfortunately it couldn't reach it.
"roar!!!"
It looked up to the sky and roared loudly
"Damn it, it's calling its kin!"
Yorick's excited voice reminded the paladin of the way
"Watch out!"
Victor yelled at the thinking paladin.
A fireball the size of a washbasin fell into the crowd with a long flame tail.
Three-ring evocation spell [Fireball]
The fireball exploded on the ground. Although the paladin and Tia dodged in time, they were still affected to a certain extent.
The bursting flames ignited John's cloak, and the exploding stone fragments scratched Tia's cheek.
The effect of this fireball is stronger than that of ordinary RPGs!
Fortunately, the effect of [Resistance to Elements] was still there, so they were basically not harmed by the fire, and Victor had already hid far away - he was still adjusting his breath and had no intention of crushing the fireball.
The dragon is not a beast that only knows brute force. Although Maxima is not able to cast many spells at the age of over 100 years old, every fire spell it releases has far more power than ordinary magic of the same level!
Of course "dragon magic" does not exist, it's just that the fire element has such a preference for red dragons that the spells they obtain from their blood can be greatly strengthened.
(From a game point of view, it is the red dragon’s unique expertise that enhances the effectiveness of fire spells)
And dragons have their own special spells!
Whenever John and Tia try to rush towards the cliff, the red dragon releases a spell to stop them.
It even ignited a wall of fire more than 60 feet long on the edge of the cliff
Four-ring evocation spell [Fire Wall]
The spell released by Maxima has a wider range, higher flame temperature, and longer lasting!
The hot flames burned John and Tia's faces, and the stubble on the paladin's face ignited with sparks.
The adventurers are in a bit of a bad situation right now.
It is obviously impossible to escape the dragon's pursuit by running on thorny jungles or cliffs.
And the direction leading to the sea was also blocked by Maxima.
After feeling the threat from Victor, this cunning red dragon was no longer willing to get close to the ground. Instead, it only used magic to harass it. It was waiting for its army of followers!
The dragon is such a shameless person!
Victor can use the Moon Step to ascend into the sky, but in his current state he will definitely not be able to catch up with such a nimble dragon, even if Shatara casts the flying spell on him.
"Hey, John! Is there any way to get it as close to the ground as it was? I could try to make him fall."
Victor glanced at the red dragon in the sky, then took off the short knife from his waist, held it in his hand, and said to John:
"But after this, I will temporarily lose my fighting ability. During that time, I will rely on you."
He turned to look at the sorceress coming out of the jungle and asked:
"Even a giant dragon wouldn't be able to fly if it loses one of its wings, right?"
"…Of course, Your Excellency Victor"
Satara was stunned for a moment and then responded.
The muscular man looked at the paladin with firm eyes again
John and Tia looked at each other and nodded.
"Tia, it's up to you."
The barbarian female warrior grinned, banged her shield and crossed the crowd towards the red dragon.
The team's tacit understanding of cooperation over many years allows them to complete most of their communications with just eye contact.
Captain John only needed short words or even gestures to make other team members understand what he meant, while Victor could only stare...
Shatara cast the magic [Phantom Sound Technique] on Tia, which can amplify the subject's voice.
At the same time, she was given [foot oil], and then the sorceress retreated to the edge of the jungle again, but because she was worried about Tia, she did not enter the depths of the jungle again.
(Tips for team battles: Remote DPS please do not get close to the front row warriors, especially MTs who are preparing to taunt!)
