At this very moment—
Not only were all the monsters in the entire secret realm
prostrating themselves in fear and trembling—
Even the members of Spirit Hunters
were overwhelmed by an incomparably powerful sense of pressure and suffocation!
"G–G–Guild Leader…"
"T-That… that…"
Under this terrifying dragon pressure,
Someone shakily raised a finger toward the sky.
Their teeth were chattering,
their legs completely weak.
They saw—
Beyond the mist of the secret realm,
That colossal dragon body symbolizing absolute power and fear
hovered like a floating mountain range,
casting a shadow of death upon the ground.
Those wings flowing with black flames.
That dragon head exhaling dragon breath.
Those cold, oppressive golden dragon pupils…
[Black Dragon Fortress · Level 99 BOSS — ??? Atos]!
At this moment—
Everyone finally understood
what a dragon truly was,
and what was meant by… real dragon might.
Under the gaze of those icy golden dragon eyes,
Almost everyone felt petrified.
They stood frozen in place,
not daring to move an inch.
As the guild leader, Lei Shan
was already the strongest existence in the entire guild.
He too was Level 99!
A Fourth Advancement Destruction Lightning Envoy!
Powerful. Transcendent. Unrivaled.
Those were his labels!
But compared to the Black Dragon BOSS before him—
He was nothing.
He was just a job-changer.
But that Black Dragon—
Was not only a dragon!
It was a dragon with a BOSS template!
How could that even be compared?!
Just standing there—
The pressure Lei Shan felt
was no weaker than what anyone else in the guild was feeling!
But the most important thing was—
The guide had clearly stated everything.
As the secret realm BOSS,
before anyone entered within a 10-kilometer radius of the fortress,
Black Dragon Atos
would not attack job-changers under any circumstances.
Using this rule,
players could first head to the Nameless Hero's Tomb
and obtain the secret-realm-exclusive equipment [Dragon-Slaying Heart].
Once they had the Dragon-Slaying Heart,
they could ignore dragon racial traits,
and the fight would become almost pressure-free…
And now—
This Black Dragon BOSS—
Why the hell was it not playing by the rules?!
The dungeon progress wasn't even one-fifth complete!
The key item [Dragon-Slaying Heart] hadn't been obtained!
And the BOSS had already appeared?!
How the hell were they supposed to fight this?!
Or was it—
That he had been scammed by the bastard who sold him the guide?
Was the guide actually wrong?
No…
That didn't make sense either!
If the guide were wrong—
If this Black Dragon BOSS really appeared at this stage—
Who could possibly beat it?!
Even a Fifth Advancement professional
would find it extremely difficult to defeat this Black Dragon BOSS!
"Guild Leader… what do we do now?"
Beside Lei Shan,
Zhao Ming, Qian Yuan, and Li Dan—
the three vice guild leaders—all asked nervously.
Their strength was already weaker than Lei Shan's,
so naturally, the pressure they felt from the Black Dragon BOSS
was even more intense.
"Damn it all! What else can we do?!
We grit our teeth and fight!"
Lei Shan took a deep breath and growled.
As the leader of an A-rank guild,
he still had this level of resolve.
Immediately, he began issuing combat orders—
"Li Dan! Activate your strongest defensive barrier immediately!
Mana-restoration casters—full power on Li Dan! Keep his defenses up!"
"Qian Yuan, stay with Li Dan.
I don't think he can withstand the Black Dragon BOSS's attacks alone—
he'll need your Holy Light support!"
"Supports! All buffs on me and Zhao Ming!
Otherwise, our damage won't be enough!"
"Hold formation! Don't panic!
We still have a chance to win!"
With Lei Shan's command,
Although everyone was still panicking internally,
they immediately followed orders and took their positions.
The Holy Light Great Shield Knight, Li Dan, acted first.
He instantly cast his Fourth Advancement skill
[Holy Light Triple Barrier].
Three layers of golden defensive barriers descended,
enveloping the entire guild!
The defensive power of this barrier was astonishing—
even Lei Shan himself would need to bombard it at full power
for five straight minutes to break through!
However, the cost of this skill was terrifying.
Relying on Li Dan's mana pool alone,
it could only be sustained for three minutes!
Thankfully, the guild had brought four mana-restoration casters.
Three of them were immediately assigned to Li Dan
to sustain the barrier!
Next was Qian Yuan, the Healing Holy Paladin,
who nervously stood beside Li Dan and cast [Sacred Blessing]!
This was a buff-type skill
that increased the effectiveness of Holy Light–type skills by 30%,
making the defensive barrier even more solid!
After that—
It was up to Lei Shan and Zhao Ming.
As the Destruction Lightning Envoy
and the Storm Multishot Archer,
they were the main damage dealers!
As for everyone else—
Due to the massive gap in level and quality,
their damage was effectively ignored.
They were assumed to be unable to harm the Black Dragon BOSS at all.
"Elemental Amplification!"
"Haste!"
"Hawk Eye!"
"…"
The guild's support players
piled buff after buff onto the two main damage dealers.
This was the only thing they could do now.
"Attack!"
Once the enhancements were complete,
Lei Shan clenched his teeth
and unleashed his strongest skills at the Black Dragon BOSS in the sky!
[Perfect-Tier Skill — ?????]
[Epic-Tier Skill — ?????]
[Epic-Tier Skill — ?????]
Massive amounts of lightning-element energy gathered.
Thunder roared madly!
One Perfect-tier skill,
two Epic-tier skills!
This was Lei Shan's ultimate trump card
as the leader of an A-rank guild!
Perfect-tier skills were already exceedingly rare—
Epic-tier skills were practically priceless!
"Damn it—let's go all in!"
Zhao Ming gritted his teeth as well.
He pulled out [Call of the Storm] from his back—
[Perfect-Tier Skill — ?????]
[Epic-Tier Skill — ?????]
Another Perfect-tier skill,
and another Epic-tier skill!
After the attacks were launched,
Everyone stared intently at the Black Dragon BOSS's HP bar!
If this wave could at least shave off 5% of its health,
then the fight was still possible!
...
"Hm? Opening with ultimates right away?"
Watching the barrage of skills flying toward him,
A trace of helplessness flashed through
Su Yang's enormous golden dragon pupils.
His elite monsters had been casually wiped out—
And the moment they saw him,
they went completely berserk.
Every single skill was high quality…
Well…
that was just how it was.
BOSS privileges—
that was the privilege of being a BOSS.
But—
Facing these incoming attacks,
Since they hadn't obtained the [Dragon-Slaying Heart],
Su Yang didn't even bother moving.
[Dragon Might]: Reduces all attributes of any creature lower level than you by 20%.
This is the absolute suppression belonging to dragons!
Since the Spirit Hunters members had already entered Su Yang's attack range,
this aura had taken effect—
all their attributes were reduced by 20%!
[Dragon Bloodline]: Immune to 80% of physical damage.
Immune to 80% of magical damage.
Eighty percent physical and magical dual immunity.
Do you even understand how insane that is?
And so—
Su Yang watched as those skills landed on his body.
[Perfect-Tier Skill] Damage dealt: 1,742
[Epic-Tier Skill] Damage dealt: 3,543
[Epic-Tier Skill] Damage dealt: 5,112
[Perfect-Tier Skill] Damage dealt: 1,123
[Epic-Tier Skill] Damage dealt: 3,219
After the entire round of skills—
Su Yang had lost
a little over 15,000 HP in total.
Mm…
His total HP was 5,000,000.
That was…
not even 0.3%.
This wasn't fighting—
Wasn't this just pure tickling?
