The smoke cleared and the light of the miniature sun dimmed a bit enabling the others to see the mana barrier breaking. The miniature sun crashed upon the skeleton dragon dealing great damage due to the holy attribute of the attack. Hou Yiwei did not wait to verify if his previous attack hit as he once again used another skill.
“Heavenly Arrow Rain!” Hou Yiwei muttered as he let lose a golden arrow from his bow.
The golden arrow is released but not towards the skeleton dragon. The golden arrow is fired above the skeleton dragon and it exploded when it reached ten meters above the area of the skeleton dragon. A golden magic circle then appeared in the area where the golden arrow exploded.
A rain of golden arrows rained down on the skeleton dragon that has yet to recover from the previous attack. The other dragonkin did not waste this chance as they also fired off their long range spells and abilities. The skeleton dragon then emitted a roar so loud that it could easily incapacitate and terrorize lower creatures.
“Your dragon roar might be effective against other creatures but to us dragonkin only an authentic dragon’s roar can affect use.” A random dragonkin player shouted towards the skeleton dragon.
The onslaught of spells and attacks towards the skeleton dragon did not relent as it thrashed about trying shake of the attackers. Its master did not even bother helping it as the Arch Lich is currently embroiled in a spell battle with Emrys. The Skeleton Dragon is left to fend for itself and its master’s only command was kill every living being.
Hou Yiwei did not have the title of the strongest player for show as his damage is piling up not only for the skeleton dragon but also for the undead horde. He would use fire arrows to hit undead that try to charge towards the area of the skeleton dragon whenever he had the chance.
He broke the traditional notion of a normal archer class character because of his agile movement and precision across the battlefield. Hou Yiwie would stride across the battlefield and fire off mana arrows with the fire element towards the skeleton dragon. It did not take long for the skeleton dragon’s health to drop to half.
When the skeleton dragon’s health dropped down to half, it opened its mouth and sucked in a ton of air despite it having no organs. The skeleton dragon’s mouth started shining in a black and green light.
“It is going to use its dragon breath!” Someone shouted to notify everyone to clear out the area and try to evade.
Even though the skeleton dragon is not an actual dragon, the skills it uses still packs the might of a dragon due to the sheer amount of magic used to form it. The other dragonkin retreated and took shelter towards their tankers while one was daring enough to stand in front of it while the skeleton dragon prepared its breath attack.
Hou Yiwei stood in the direction where the breath attack of the skeleton dragon will hit. The other dragonkin wanted to go collect him but they knew that the top ranked player is not foolish enough to get hit by a known attack. The others then saw that Hou Yiwei’s bow became bigger and he planted it on the ground.
Hou Yiwei then pulled on its bow string to its utmost degree until he himself is straining. Three golden magic circles then appeared in front of the bow forming three layers. Each magic circle had distinct runes much different from each other. If Adrian were to witness it then he would identify the three different runes in the magic circles which is holy, pierce and strengthen.
“Celestial Grand Piercer!” Hou Yiwei muttered as he let go of the arrow made of light. .𝘤𝘰.𝒎
The strength of the arrow that Hou Yiwei let out was strong enough to knock him back five meters once he let it lose. The skeleton dragon did not even evade as its breath attack is now finished charging. The skeleton dragon let lose a dark beam and a toxic green gas that covered its surroundings.
The skeleton dragon’s breath collided with the giant light arrow fired of by Hou Yiwei. The two skills once again clashed but the light arrow is much more powerful than the dragon breath which greatly shocked those that were watching the fight. Hou Yiwei did not escape unscathed though as the dark beam managed to graze him as he did not evade fast enough.
“Using three consecutive legendary skills really puts the body in strain. I should finish up early or else the other guilds are going to overtake us in contribution.” Hou Yiwei thought as he is looking up the contribution board.
If others were to know that the top ranked player was treating the skeleton dragon as a small fry then they would have lost their minds. If they also knew that his focus was divided despite landing every basic attack and skill shot then the players would have just puked blood as it would immensely hurt their pride.
The light arrow did not stop or get blocked by the breath attack but continued towards the skeleton dragon’s mouth. The light arrow pierced the throat of the skeleton dragon and it winced in pain because of the holy attribute of the skill. The skeleton dragon crashed to the ground in pain but the other dragonkin could not easily approach it due to the poison gas.
The world is once again reminded of the great ability of the top ranked player. His fame was previously overshadowed by the numerous pop up of world messages but the world will once remember his skills due to his battle prowess. This thought is also present in Hou Yiwei’s head which is why he wanted to be the one to go up against the skeleton dragon.
If you develop a mentality of becoming the best then you would always expect to be the best and that is what Hou Yiwei is experiencing. What Hou Yiwei did not know is that someone that was as infamous as him is finally in the limelight. His battle prowess was impressive but the reveal of the infamous demon player is much more important in the minds of the Pandemonium players.
