The clash of battle axes and shields produced a crisp and rhythmic sound
"Ha! Who is this? A fisherman from the coast, the product of Margaret being raped by a passing red dragon, a wild hybrid, hahaha! The deformed monster Maxima!"
Tia loudly taunted the dragon in Common. Under the influence of [Phantom Sound], her voice was very loud, and her words could also stir up Maxima's nerves.
"Oh oh oh~! Lord of the goblins and kobolds, if you didn't take the stupid goblins to fish at the beach, would you be driven back by the fishmen again? Hahaha, you are truly worthy of the dragon's shame!"
"Damn! Damn! Reptile! Damn you!"
The rising anger caused Maxima to lose her mind, and the red dragon's violent and irritable character took over the high ground again.
——Maxima was "exiled" by Margaret to the barren west coast when she was less than 50 years old, and she was only assigned a lizard nanny.
At that time, it could only secretly go to the sea to hunt for food. The juvenile red dragon did not dare to appear in front of the south wind guards. It was nicknamed "coastal fisherman" by the chasing elf scouts - this was simply a great shame for its dragon life.
In fact, it even had the experience of being driven back to land by murlocs who were herding fish...
Over the past few decades, as Maxima has grown, he has also recruited a group of his followers.
However, due to the barren environment, he only has a small number of orcs and lizardmen, most of whom are weak goblins and kobolds.
This is completely incomparable with its brother's flying dragon army. Even Francis, who is always crazy, has a powerful orc tribe.
It was once derided in public as a "goblin lord" by Marvik
So Tia's mention of the words "coastal fisherman" and "goblin lord" is the same as pulling off its reverse scales.
[Taunt] is not a magic effect, but it is a required skill for defensive warriors. Simple sentences are short and effective.
Angry flames filled Maxima's eyes. It stopped hovering irregularly in the air, but took a deep breath and began to dive downwards.
——Even Victor can see its intention to exhale
What is this? Three axes?
However, for the dragon, this tactic is simple but effective!
If its flame breath is really completed, it will be difficult for Tia to avoid it. Even if [Fire Resistance] is still in effect, being burned will be her only ending - that is under normal circumstances
However, the muscular man had already taken off in the air. Before the red dragon dived to a suitable height, Victor rushed forward to meet Maxima!
The huge dragon and the relatively small human being are up and down, facing each other. This scene makes the adventurers' blood boil.
In this case, the red dragon has to start breathing in advance
The muscular man did not dodge, but still faced him with his body covered in black.
The raging flames engulfed Victor, and because of the staggered distance and angle, Tia just rolled to avoid the cone-shaped flames.
Looking at the scene in the sky, half-elf Yorick's eyes widened, and he was a little worried...
However, an arm suddenly stretched out from the flames, grabbed the nose edge of the red dragon's upper jaw, pressed down hard, and then the entire black figure jumped to the top of the dragon's head.
Victor kicked Maxima's horns with his foot. The huge force made the red dragon groan and close its mouth, and the flames of its breath overflowed from both sides of the dragon's mouth.
The muscular man also used the reaction force to jump behind the red dragon.
Victor performed a difficult 1800-degree rotation in the air, and when he was close to the dragon's shoulder, he put his left hand on it to stop the rotation.
He held a black short knife in his right hand and slashed at the root of Maxima's left wing.
The short sword's blade was only about a foot long, and the invisible blade whizzed at the dragon's wings,
The left wing of the Red Dragon also broke off in response.
"Ouch~"
The shrill wail resounded through the sky
The hot dragon's blood sprayed out from the red dragon's wound as if it were free.
In the severe pain of the broken wing, Maxima lost her balance as expected and fell diagonally towards the jungle.
Victor Victor's mouth and nose were bleeding. He once again injured his lungs. The muscular man with red body staggered into the other direction...
"Reptile! Damn it! How dare you... roar!"
Maxima slipped on the bushes and made a "braking mark" dozens of feet long, and it landed on the scorch mark where she had just breathed out.
As it roared angrily, a withered yellow arrow hit the wound on his back, interrupting Maxima's scolding.
It's Yorick's enchanted arrow!
The arrows entwined with natural magic penetrated deeply into the flesh and blood of the red dragon. Under the influence of the magic, the wound began to decay and wither.
Enchanted arrows are the most basic skill of the magic archer. Yorick can barely shoot arrows with withering effect - withering is also a type of natural magic (the magic archer in this book is a legendary advanced profession)
This world is not turn-based. Time did not stop when the dragon fell to the ground. Everyone started their own actions.
The paladin's war hammer shines with dazzling light - [Divine Punishment Weapon]: Holy power fills the paladin's weapon, causing the weapon's strikes to have a sacred damage effect.
While Maxima was still moaning about the arrow damage, John had already rushed behind the red dragon.
He jumped to the back of the giant dragon and raised the glorious warhammer above his head. The warhammer made a "crackling" sound at this time, as if thunder was also gathering on it.
"drink!"
With an angry roar, John's war hammer fell on the dragon's hind legs. A flash of lightning appeared where the war hammer came into contact with the dragon's skin. At the same time, traces of thunder burns appeared on the red dragon's skin.
One-ring divine spell [Thunder Smite]
"Click!"
The bones of the red dragon's right hind leg were broken and appeared weirdly twisted
"Ouch!"
Maxima once again let out a piercing howl, but this time its howl did not last long - it knew that if something was not done, it would probably die here!
The scales on the red dragon's body shine with the brilliance of magic, and bits and pieces of energy scales begin to surround it.
The dragon’s exclusive three-ring spell [Energy Scale]
Maxima turned her head and blew into her body. The originally shining blue energy scales turned into red, and the surrounding energy debris also turned into small fireballs.
With the blessing of the fire element, this spell has been enhanced, which is equivalent to the effect of a fourth-ring spell.
The scorching fireball forced John back. Tia's attack with the battle ax could only hit sparks on the magic-blessed scales, but instead burned the battle ax red. Tia also had to leave the dragon's surroundings.
Maxima took the opportunity to pull out the arrow from her back with her mouth
"Mortals, you have to pay for everything you have done! God can't save you!"
After saying the harsh words in a vicious tone, Maxima took a deep breath again. At this distance, it does not need to accumulate power for a long time before it can burn everyone with its dragon breath.
However, a short black figure suddenly appeared on top of the red dragon's head, with disheveled black hair and a silver belt. There were two daggers in his waist and a black and red potion bottle in his hand.
—is a halfling rogue
Doso slammed the potion in his hand onto Maxima's face, who was taking a deep breath.
A burst of red-black smoke came out and enveloped half of the dragon's head.
"Cough~cough~ouch"
Maxima closed her eyes and shed big tears. The poison temporarily blinded her eyes. Her coughing and choking interrupted the process of accumulating power. The flames leaked intermittently from the dragon's mouth...
That's Doso's special alchemical poison!
The red dragon waved its front paws near its head, as if it wanted to hit the enemy.
However, the halfling is no longer where he is. That is [Shadow Leap], the effect of his legendary cloak.
Legendary Item [Peak's Cloak]
This is a legendary cloak woven by an Elf Queen herself, enchanted by the Elf Court Archmage, and blessed by Taimora, the goddess of luck.
The dusty and inconspicuous cloak has at least five effects:
1. Resist elements: Can release an enhanced version of [Defense Energy] twice a day. The effects also include: resistance to fire, ice, acid, thunder and lightning.
2. Endure the environment: The wearer has permanent low-level [endure the environment] magic effects, including enduring high temperatures, enduring cold, etc.
3. Legendary Armor: The cloak is equivalent to legendary leather armor. Magic weapons below the intermediate level cannot cause damage to the cloak, and the cloak has a certain self-healing effect.
4. Extraordinary agility: The cloak greatly enhances the wearer's agility (equivalent to agility 3, very bad)
5. Undetectable: There is an opportunity to cast [Advanced Invisibility] every three days. It also provides assistance when the wearer enters camouflage/invisibility, making it impossible to be discovered by conventional detection spells.
Because Peake's legendary experience has won the favor of the goddess of luck, this cloak has also been blessed by Taimora. The following effects are only valid for halfling wearers:
1. Lady Luck’s Smile: The wearer will become luckier (equivalent to Lucky 3)
2. Shadow Leap: Use the ability of [Shadow Leap] three times a day to cross a distance in reality by briefly entering the shadow plane, and appear at an unoccupied location within 30 feet (equivalent to a mage's flash)
What is a legendary item? This is a legendary item! The armor all over Tia's body is not as valuable as this cloak!
However, this cloak is more of a life-saving effect and cannot provide further help to the current situation.
Because she couldn't see, Maxima was waving her limbs and dragon tail randomly. It looked stupid, but it was very useful. Except for Tiati's shield to block, anyone else who got hit by it would be seriously injured or even dead.
!
The fireball around the dragon blocked Tia and John's approach. The effect of [Energy Resistance] has expired. Even if the effect is still there, it cannot resist this high-temperature field created by the fourth-ring spell...
During this period, Yorick fired several arrows but failed to break the dragon scales. Even if they were shot at the wounds of the dragon wings, they were slid away by the magic power - [Energy Scale] does not only target parts with scales.
Effective!
When everyone was at a loss, Shatara took off her hood and raised her hands.
