Mariposa tore a scroll and a wave of calming energy enveloped every raid party member. This was the scroll that could void an area of sound for a given duration. Adrian then immediately took note of this as he might sell scrolls like this. He could make talismans with similar effects and it might sell like hotcakes.
The damage dealers were channeling all of their most powerful spells. Adrian wanted to do the same but be believed that Vortex would not even carry the huge dragon. Its weight might as well be ten tons or more. Also if he ever successfully sucked the dragon in the Vortex, the others would miss their spells.
Adrian just summoned his twin dagger Psyche Armament. This Psyche Armament had the execute skill but it was still a good way to deal damage to the rock dragon at close range. Adrian then saw Mariposa summoning a gigantic bee and Adrian sort of recognize this giant bee that has a crown.
It was familiar but not at the same time. Adrian then remembered that it was player named Mariposa that bought the very first thing that he put up in auction. The giant queen bee now looked much different than before as it now looked fiercer and larger than before.
The giant queen bee suddenly glowed and ten giant bees with lance like stingers appeared. The giant bees then did something like a formation and something like lightning connected each one of them. It seems they too are building up power for an attack.
Alder was also using something like an ultimate attack. Adrian could see that the elementals were giving power to the arrow that was notched in the bow. The arrow was shining with different colors. Each color representing a different element.
Adrian then looked towards Cersei and a black flame was swirling below her feet as she was chanting something. Adrian then smiled wryly as he does not have a very powerful single target spell that only damages. He wanted a skill like this so that if he ever encounter a situation like this then he has something to use.
Adrian did not actually idle but kept casting Quantum Spacemine on the general area of the sleeping rock dragon. Adrian also secretly used nether energy to strengthen the skill so that Netheros Bane would infect the boss monster. The drop in stats would make the skills of others to hit harder and increase the damage.
The silence was then lifted after sometime and Mariposa commanded.
“Let it rain.” Mariposa stated for all to hear.
Adrian also detonated all the spacemines. Although the damage was only in the ten thousands per five spacemines, he still managed to damage it a lot because he managed to make fifty. The real use of it was to apply ten stacks of Netheros Bane.
[You have dealt 107,547 damage to the Calcite Rock Dragon.]
It did not take long for the immense rain of skills to hit the sleeping Calcite Rock Dragon. Alder released the arrow that was packed with four types of elements. Cersei finally stopped chanting and magic circle appeared below the rock dragon that was wider than its body. Black flames suddenly erupted from the magic circle and surrounded the rock dragon.
The giant bees finally also started their attack as what looked like a red laser was fired by the queen bee. It traveled as fast as lightning towards the rock dragon as it was actually the second attack to damage it. Kanlaon also fired its breath attack towards the rock dragon while the armored dragonfly used supersonic attacks towards it.
When all of the attacks of the players hit the sleeping rock dragon, it woke up and immediately released a roar accompanied by an earthquake. The raid players was suddenly off balance but they already fired off all of their skills towards the rock dragon so the earthquake was just a minor inconvenience.
The earthquake was not detrimental but the roar was devastating to the others.
[You have heard the Dragon’s Roar.]
[You have not been affected by fear as you have resisted.]
[Your stats have not been weakened due to not being affected as you have resisted.]
The others did not look as well as they looked more sluggish than before. The healers immediately used their purifying skills in order to cleanse the members. This was the dragon roar skill that will be available to Kanlaon once he becomes level 100. Although Adrian was excited to get this skill for Kanlaon, he focused on the match at hand.
He immediately darted towards the emerging rock dragon and he finally saw its full body. It looked like an ankylosaurus that was fifty meters high. Its top part was covered in spiky white rocks that shimmers when light comes in contact with it. It had a tail and the end of it looked like a Morningstar with white rocks as its spikes. The stomp of the dragon would shake the earth a little bit so Adrian had too time his running correctly.
“Sirius use Phantom Rush” Adrian commanded via the soul link. .𝒎
Sirius then vanished from everyone’s view and all they saw was shadows or a silhouette attacking the rock dragon. Sirius attacks were not dealing much damage as the scales of the dragon was difficult to penetrate.
“Kanlaon only fire your breath attack at one spot” Adrian commanded.
Kanlaon immediately spew its breath attack at the right side of the rock dragon and his attack seemed to be effective enough. Kanlaon was dealing good damage to the rock dragon but it was still in the five digits. Adrian was once again reminded of the toughness of dragons and he was very thankful that he had once of his own.
Adrian along with the other melee attackers all charged towards the rock dragon. Due to its immense size, it would not be possible for the rock dragon to react in time for everyone that is attacking it. Adrian reached the right leg and tried to stab it but all he heard was a clang.
The dragon scale was too tough to even pierce with his dagger. The other melee players tried as well but their weapons either broke or lost a lot of durability. The barrage of attacks earlier only damaged the Calcite Rock Dragon by 15% of its total health.
That was completely absurd as those barrage of powerful hits would usually deal at least 50% health damage to ordinary boss monsters. It seems dragons are not called one of the pinnacle creatures for nothing. The rock dragon looked visibly annoyed of all the pests attacking it as there were numerous flying insects trying to pierce its scales.
At first, the rock dragon tried to shake them off and stomp its feet for those attacking its lower body. But it finally was visibly annoyed by another of its kind that is attacking him. Kanlaon’s attack was visibly damaging the scales of the rock dragon that its breath was attacking repeatedly.
The rock dragon finally swung its tail towards Kanlaon in an attempt to kill the dragon that was harming him the most. Adrian who saw this immediately reacted and cast Chrono Shift on Kanlaon. The spiky tail was quick despite its heavy looking size but Kanlaon evaded it thanks to Adrian’s timely buff.
The rock dragon saw that its attack was evaded by Kanlaon and it roared at the latter. Kanlaon roared back as if saying that it will not be able to intimidate him. The rock dragon raised its right foot and stomped hard on the ground.
All of the others that were firmly standing was suddenly knocked up and all of their channeled skills were cancelled. Adrian was protected due to the passive of his belt that prevented him from being displaced every thirty minutes.
Adrian then used both first and second skill of the twin daggers which was Soul Emergence and Soul Impale. Adrian teleported to the part where Kanlaon continuously damaged and immediately plunged his dagger at that location. He easily pierced the scales as it was already severely damaged by repeated attacks.
The rock dragon emitted a cry but it was not loud and it looked like it was surprised rather than hurt. The rock dragon sensing that an ant was actually on top of it suddenly spun its body like a spinning top. Adrian held on for dear life as he was sent on a ride.
“This is dizzying! Blegh!” Adrian reacted.
Adrian really held on as he did not want to be thrown away and be suddenly hit by the huge spiky tail. That was an experience that would really hurt. All the melee players could not attack during this period as they risk being hit by the spiky tail. All the projectiles were also being deflected or blocked by the force generated by the spinning.
Adrian could no longer keep getting spun so he blinked out of there. He reappeared on the ground after two attempts and let out rainbows from his mouth. The rock dragon finally stopped spinning after one minute and stared at Kanlaon as it still considered him the biggest threat but it had to cull the bugs first.
The rock dragon then opened its mouth and its whole body emitted a brilliant light that travelled to its mouth. Mariposa who saw this immediately shouted.
“Everyone take cover! It is releasing its breath attack!” Mariposa shouted as butterfly wings emerged from her back as she scattered to safety.
