In addition to the two Legendary pieces of equipment, the second boss also dropped an Epic Leather Bracelet. Jiang Fei threw it into his backpack and planned to give it to a Bandit in his guild upon his return.
Jiang Fei continued to press on with Isabella. There was not much to say about the small monsters, they were not much different from the previous ones. The two of them got through the small monsters pretty quickly and soon arrived in front of the third boss!

“F*ck! Why is this guy riding a dragon?” Jiang Fei said while he looked back at Isabella.
“Go away! B*stard, don’t even think about riding on my back, ever!” Isabella rolled her eyes at Jiang Fei.
“Hehe… do you have to crush my Dragon Knight dream so quickly?” Jiang Fei shook his head helplessly.
*Roar* At that moment, the Floating Dragon roared, and the Commander rushed down from the sky!
“Get ready to fight!” Jiang Fei shouted, then greeted the boss with his shield.
*Roar*
Just as the Floating Dragon closed in on Jiang Fei, it opened its mouth and spat a massive fireball at his face.
“Back you go!” Jiang Fei immediately lifted his shield when he saw the Dragon’s skill. Then, he activated Demon’s Harbourage!
Following Jiang Fei’s voice, a film of light appeared over his shield. After the fireball touched the light film, it flew back at its caster, faster than before!
*Thump!*
-4317!
The fireball hit the Commander right in his face. Where the Floating Dragon ended up landed quickly blazed up in flames!
“Let’s go!” Jiang Fei shouted, then took huge steps and charged forward. When standing right before the boss and the Floating Dragon, he spewed out a breath of cold air!
Ice Burst!
-3327!
-7014! (Critical Hit!)
“Kill the Dragon first, if it keeps spitting fire everywhere, there’ll soon be nowhere for us to stand!”
Jiang Fei took command of the boss as he gave Isabella orders.
Although the Floating Dragon had ‘Dragon’ in its name, it had nothing to do with the Dragon Race. It shared more kinship with Worms than Dragons. Due to its sheer size, it looked more like a big dragon. Even so, it did not possess any Dragon blood. Its combat power was not even comparable to a drake of the same level, let alone a big dragon!
“I can’t believe such garbage was actually identified as a dragon!” Isabella, the true Dragon, gazed at this ‘Floating Dragon,’ her face filled with disgust.
Isabella furiously cast her Demon Flame and bombarded the Floating Dragon with all her spite and fury. In less than three seconds, Isabella managed to grab the aggro away from Jiang Fei!
*Roar*
*Eeek*
Isabella’s attacks left the Floating Dragon shrieking in pain. The Floating Dragon proceeded to spray fire everywhere on the ground around it. Jiang Fei had to constantly remind Isabella, the current target of the Floating Dragon to keep moving, lest they both got themselves consumed in flames.
As the Floating Dragon was not attacking Jiang Fei, he was left with the light load of handling attacks from the Commander. The Commander was a purely Physical boss. Jiang Fei had nearly 50% of Physical Damage reduction, so the actual damage dealt to him was not very high. When coupled with the Lifesteal effect he had after stacking Ruthless Barrage ten times and his Life Link, it was hardly enough to even start decreasing his Health Points.
Similarly, Isabella’s Health Points were barely dropping. The Floating Dragon’s attack was very different. It was neither a ranged attack, nor a magic spell that locked on to a single target. Its fire breath attack had a very small range, and it could only be used on a single target. However, the skill did not home in on the target, which meant that Isabella could rely on her high Movement Speed to avoid its attacks!
Isabella’s Agility was pretty high. As she had summoned the Demon Flame and was attacking the boss close up, she could flit about, making it really difficult for the Floating Dragon to deal damage on her!
*Eeek*
Three minutes later, following a shrill cry, the Floating Dragon was killed by Isabella!
“Ding! You have eliminated Armored Dragon. Obtained 580,000 Experience Points. Obtained 200 gold coins!”
*Sigh* “The new version of this boss is really weak!” Jiang Fei muttered to himself. If the Dungeon was only this hard, the major guilds would be able to clear it in no time, when they get the numbers.
However, Jiang Fei did not allow himself to get distracted for too long. After all, they had only killed the boss’s Mount. The boss was still attacking Jiang Fei with all his might!
Obviously, this boss was not as powerful as his Dragon Mount. At least, his Dragon Mount could use fire to force Jiang Fei and Isabella to run around the hall. This boss, however, could only deal Physical attacks, and his skills were so-so. Hence, Jiang Fei was having a rather casual time of his life. He only ended up using Blood Pool once throughout the whole battle. It was a really smooth battle!
“The mighty Blood God will not let you get away with this!”
The Commander said his last words, just before Jiang Fei emptied the boss’s Health Points with a smash of his hammer, sending his body down with a crash.
“Why do I feel like they’ve all become a lot weaker?” Isabella muttered.
“Yeah! This update seems to have made the bosses a lot weaker. It seems like Dungeons have become places where players can easily get their Experience and equipment!” Jiang Fei also nodded.
Jiang Fei’s guess was not far off the mark. The new version of the game emphasized on PVP. Battles between players would definitely end up with someone dying. Players were not like monsters. Monsters would stop chasing players when players were out of their aggro range. However, if a player defeated another player in a battle, there was basically no hope of getting away without a vengeful, sore loser!
Since the emphasis was on PVP, battles between players would increase. Whenever players died, their levels would decrease and they would lose their equipment. So, the system had reduced the difficulty of Dungeons. Would you not lose some levels and equipment after losing a fight? No problem at all, you would be able to get it back if you clear Dungeons for two days. Then, you could go claim your revenge.
The focus of the game had shifted. Dungeons had suddenly become a lot easier and the focus of players would soon be diverted from leveling up and clearing Dungeons to battles and honor!
Jiang Fei was not concerned about such battles, but the boss’s corpse. This was because there was no golden light when he flipped the corpse over.
Instead, a golden-red light was pulsating into the surroundings.
