The next day.
Kevin’s Wolf Fang Hero squad was fully assembled. This was an extraordinarily strong team.
The main force was comprised of eleven members, all of whom were of Rank B or above.
They were recruited by Kevin under the guise of a dragon slaying mission, and many of them were previously unaffiliated heroes.
The reserve troops numbered in the hundreds – over three hundred seasoned warriors.
Looking at this solemn army, Zachary couldn’t help but break a sweat, knowing full well that their adversary had a devastating weapon like the Bipedal Wyvern.
If this hero squad had come a little earlier, they might have stood a chance… Zachary couldn’t help but think.
Kevin looked at his heroes with satisfaction, nodded, and stepped forward, “The Golden Dragon lost a significant portion of its forces in the last battle and sustained serious injuries itself. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
“Strike a lethal blow before it recovers! Today is the day we slay the dragon!”
After the pre-battle briefing, the heroes began their march towards The Dungeon, led by Zachary.
The journey was without any hiccups, they didn’t even encounter any roaming monsters, indicating the Golden Dragon Dark Lord was indeed in a precarious state, bolstering Kevin’s confidence.
The Dungeon entrance was not heavily guarded, and their infiltration was much easier than anticipated.
They made their way through a narrow corridor, the view ahead gradually opening up.
Kevin abruptly raised his hand, looking into the darkness as a rustling of footsteps echoed.
“Prepare for battle!”
At Kevin’s command, the Wolf Fang heroes exhibited excellent tactical acumen, forming a solid line.
The footsteps from the dark grew closer, and with the light of the torch, Kevin identified the approaching enemies – a pack of goblins waving crude weapons rushed toward them.
With no hesitation, Kevin swung his ax and roared, “Attack!”
With a few splatters, goblins fell in swathes, blood pooling around them.
Like wolves descending on their prey, the Wolf Fang heroes pounced, piercing their sharp weapons through the goblins’ fragile necks.
The first skirmish was a resounding victory, with the goblins sent scrambling, leaving dozens of bodies behind as they fled.
But this was just the beginning.
These goblins were the weakest creatures in the Dungeon.
Kevin was not complacent or underestimating the enemy, and the Wolf Fang heroes remained battle-ready.
“Roar!”
A deep, booming roar echoed from the depths of The Dungeon, and from all around, massive armies suddenly emerged, encircling the Wolf Fang contingent.
Leading the charge were hulking Divine Dragon Warriors, their weapons gleaming coldly.
They were the first to engage with the Wolf Fang heroes, followed closely by a mixed army of Orcs, Wraiths, and Goblins.
“Attack!”
Kevin roared, leading his heroes into battle against the monster army.
But it was a case of fighting an uphill battle – after all, how could they fend off such a formidable foe with their limited manpower?
Thud!
Kevin was sent flying by two Divine Dragon Warriors.
Just as he got back on his feet, another Divine Dragon Warrior slashed through the chain on his arm with a sword.
Meanwhile, the fallen Wraiths began to stir, rising once more to launch themselves at Wolf Fang.𝗈𝑽𝐋xt.𝗰𝑜𝓜
“Brothers! Charge with me!”
Kevin roared, brandishing his axe and charging at the enemy lines once again.
“Kill them!”
“Let’s fight them head-on!”
The remaining Wolf Fang Heroes followed suit, refusing to be outdone, each brandishing their weapons and joining the fray.
A brutal battle erupted within The Dungeon, with blood staining every brick and bodies strewn haphazardly on the ground.
Despite the carnage, Wolf Fang, being elite warriors and spearheaded by the fearless Kevin, managed to carve a hole in the enemy line.
As monster after monster fell, despite the hardships, Wolf Fang gradually started to gain the upper hand.
Felling another Divine Dragon Warrior with his axe, Kevin was panting heavily.
In terms of individual strength, he was definitely top-notch, but in such a continuous combat, his stamina was quickly depleting.
“Has the Golden Dragon Dark Lord truly exhausted his strength?” Kevin couldn’t help but wonder.
This wasn’t his first battle with a Dark Lord.
These Dark Lords often sent their cannon fodder first to wear down the heroes.
But these formidable dragon warriors were far from cannon fodder.
If even these dragon warriors were just fodder, what would their regular army look like?
“No… That’s impossible. Don’t scare yourself. Perhaps these forces are the Dark Lord’s last resort.”
Reassuring himself, Kevin once again led his heroes into the fray.
One by one, the monsters fell and the battlefield was quickly cleared.
However, before the Wolf Fang group could even celebrate, a terrifying roar suddenly rang out.
Everyone turned to look at the depths of The Dungeon.
A fearsome flapping sound echoed from the darkness, and a massive creature’s silhouette slowly appeared in the distance.
Its wings were seven to eight meters wide, its robust body over ten meters long, and it exuded a terrifying aura.
The heroes of the Wolf Fang warrior group all braced themselves. The main adversary had finally shown up.
“Hahaha, Golden Dragon Dark Lord, prepare to die.” One of the heroes laughed, charging ahead of the rest.
However, as the creature emerged from the darkness, they realized something was wrong. Green scales, forelimbs attached to wings…
“That’s not a Golden Dragon. It’s a Bipedal Wyvern! Why is there such a thing in the Dungeon?!”
One of the heroes who recognized the Bipedal Wyvern couldn’t help but shout out.
This Dark Lord possessed a Dragon’s bloodline and was ranked above B.
With its tough hide and flesh, it was going to be a challenging adversary.
“Don’t panic! Who doesn’t have a secret weapon? This Golden Dragon Dark Lord, being a dragon, having a Bipedal Wyvern as a subordinate isn’t anything strange!”
“It’s just a Rank B monster, brothers, follow me and let’s slay it first!” Kevin immediately rallied the troops, yelling as he rushed towards the Bipedal Wyvern.
The other Heroes also didn’t show weakness, showering the Wyvern with an array of offensive skills in no time.
This Bipedal Wyvern was colossal, like a small hill, exuding an immense pressure.
Its claws were sharp and radiated a chilling white light.
Its mouth, filled with sharp teeth, each around three inches long, was designed to kill.
Its tail was formed of six bone-like segments, the end of which was pointed like a cone.
Its belly was covered with scales that were excellent for defense.
“Damn it, it reminds me of the time when we raided Bosses in the past.” One of the Heroes swore, his sword barely leaving a scratch on the Wyvern’s scales.
“Roar!”
The Wyvern roared, suddenly flapped its wings and took to the skies.
It swooped down into the crowd, tearing at the Heroes of Wolf Fang with its sharp teeth.
Seeing this, Kevin shouted, “Spread out, guys! We can kite it around, it’s a dungeon and this thing is massive, we can dance around it!”
No sooner had he finished speaking than the Wyvern opened its beak and sprayed a strong poisonous fluid.
The Heroes of Wolf Fang quickly dodged, but some still got hit.
One of the Wolf Fang Heroes was splashed with the potent poison and instantly became paralyzed.
The Wyvern seized the opportunity and pounced, biting him in half and swallowing him whole.
The Hero didn’t even have a chance to scream before his life was extinguished.
“Damn it!”
“Kill this beast!”
The death of their companion made the remaining Heroes furious.
They picked up their weapons and launched an attack on the Bipedal Wyvern.
Numerous skills were launched, powerful wind blades tore through the sky, fireballs, lightning, ice arrows… all kinds of attacks bombarded the Wyvern.
Its enormous size meant it couldn’t effectively evade the attacks and soon it was riddled with wounds.
Realizing the dire situation, the Wyvern, being a highly intelligent monster, shot a dragon flame to ward off the Heroes and tried to flee towards the depths of the Dungeon.
“Think you can run? Brothers, let’s cut it down first. The Bipedal Wyvern might not be a Dragon, but it’s still a high-level monster. I, Zachary, will gladly take the credit, ha-ha!” Zachary laughed and chased after the escaping Wyvern.
