At the moment, the bone dragon was fighting against what seemed to be the two strongest teams.

The first was led by a charming young woman with long, luscious red hair, while the other one was spearheaded by a long-haired young man, who wore a golden robe that exuded elegance.

Annara's team and Armand's team.

Their team configuration and condition were basically the same. Both were a three people team, still in their full strength, consisting only of privileged acolytes.

Annara was currently using a powerful whip artifact, utilizing her spell and the artifact's ability in tandem with one of her team members. Their actions caused the ground beneath the dragon's feet to turn into a wide puddle of sticky mud, hampering its mobility slightly.

In the meantime, the last member of her team dashed forward and leaped into the air toward the hindered dragon, while brandishing a spear in his hand. The spear was gleaming a brilliant glow, announcing its identity as an exceptional artifact.

As for Armand's team, all three of them were apparently spirit readers, as evidenced by the sight of the established [Soaring Shuttle] artifacts moving around under their orders. This was a surprising revelation. After all, spirit readers were somewhat rare.

The bone dragon was being bombarded relentlessly by those golden shuttles right now. Dozens of them were flying around its massive body like annoying flies, striking any part of its skeletal frame whenever the opportunity arose.

Emery naturally wanted to join the fray when he saw such a sight. However, the protege of the Harlight family, for some reason, decided to stop him from doing exactly that.

Raising his eyebrows at the hand that was grabbing his shoulder, Emery asked, "Why? What do you want?"

It was only natural that Emery behaved like this toward the other party. After all, the last time they worked together, Roran had chosen to betray them in order to get ahead. This time, he definitely would not easily trust the man.

Roran of course understood the reason behind Emery's attitude. Still, it didn't affect him, as he calmly opened his mouth.

"I will share important information with you for free, as a friendly gesture to you."

Roran began to quickly explain his so-called 'important intel'. He told Emery that, even though Bone Dragon had no magic capabilities and was considered one of the least dangerous dragons, it was the creature with the highest battle power among its kin.

"…monstrous strength and speed. In addition to that its bone armor has a toughness comparable to a tier 5 artifact." said Roran, ending his long explanation.

Upon hearing this, Gerri who was next to Emery suddenly spat out curse words.

"Dammit! Tier 5, you say?!! We have a tier 4 cap limit for this game!! What the hell is the academy planning to have us against an enemy of this level?!"

Emery turned his eyes to Gerri, his expression was odd. "Gerri, you are an unarmed fighter aren't you? Why are you getting so worked up?"

"..."

"Ermm, I mean, I am… angry at the injustice they did to you guys!!"

"..."

Once again, Emery decided to ignore the fire guy.

Returning his attention to the Harlight protege, Roran added another piece of information that apparently, when he checked the dragon's status now, he would see a number below its name - something that wasn't there before the dragon formed its body completely.

[Bone Dragon]

[967/1000]

"Is that…?!" Emery quickly realized what it was

Knowing the other party had come to the same conclusion, Roran nodded his head. "That's right. The bone dragon's total health."

A look of disbelief could be seen on Emery's face. This meant that all the attacks thrown by Lodos, the arrow barrages from Micah's team, everything that Orycon's team had done, including the bombardment currently commenced by the two privileged teams only took away 3% of the monster's entire health.

"Do you see the problem now, Emery?"

The dragon not only has a monstrous combination of strength and speed, that would one hit any of them, it also had superb endurance and defense that made all types of attacks seem futile before it.

"Winning is impossible, unless we work together." Roran continued with a serious face. "Even if we did, there would only be a chance at most, not certainty."

Roran proceeded to explain more, that not one person or even one team would be able to defeat the monster single handedly. The only possible way was for all of them to work together. Even so, their chances were slim.

Afterwards, he quickly spelled out how exactly they were going to do it. Apparently this was the reason why he stopped Emery from attacking the dragon before.

As soon as Roran finished his long detailed explanation, Emery and the others agreed with the proposal. They would be working together for one objective, defeating the seemingly undefeatable Bone Dragon.

The group didn't immediately enter the battle. Instead, they focused their attention on healing and recovering their condition, while also waiting for the right moment.

Ten minutes later, the opportunity they had been waiting for finally arrived.

[Bone Dragon]

[924/1000]

The two teams who were fighting against the dragon, Annara's and Armand's, had begun to look tired. It was evident they had exhausted a considerable amount of stamina and spirit force.

"It's not possible!! Get back!!"

Annara shouted those words, as she withdrew her restriction, telling her two teammates to do the same. This action swiftly enraged the Nephilim team who were still struggling with the dragon. "Why did you pull back already?!"

The reason they protested so hard was because without Annara's team restraining the dragon, it was now heading toward their direction. The massive skeletal build was running across the cave, malevolent intent was apparent in its eyeless eye socket.

It was at this moment that a figure shot in the air above the dragon and screamed loudly.

"FLAME ON!!"

[Pyroblast]

The signature tier 5 fire spell of the Purple Flame that generated a massive, purplish-colored ball of flame hit the dragon's back squarely. The spell was so powerful and hot, it immediately scorched the area where it landed black.

"Come here, you ugly bastard!!"

Gerri spoke those brash words in his attempt to provoke the dragon. Even though the monster was incapable of speech, it seemed to have understood the taunt as it turned toward the former's location and unleashed a rage-filled roar.

ROAR!!!

The ear-deafening roar of the enraged dragon once again was enough to shake everyone's spirit core from within. This effect was of course multiplied on Gerri, who was the main target, as the latter's face turned pale.

Without further ado, Gerri swiveled in his heels quickly and dashed in the direction of his group.

"HELP ME NOW!!"

The dragon furiously chased after Gerri and eventually entered the domain the group had prepared for it.

At the same time, Emery cast [Shadow Root] to hinder the monster's movements. Amara, Roran's subordinate, also helped in by casting her sand magic.

When the deed was done, Igor proceeded to transform into his beast form and stand in front of the monster. Meanwhile, Gerri, Orycon, and Chumo began their assault from the sides.

Roran and Orion stood at the back of the group, used their spells to fill any gap and provide enhancement buffs.

It was a great formation to hold the dragon down. However, they knew that they would also not last more than 10 minutes against it. In order to defeat the dragon, the group would need Annara's and Armand's team to take over their place, like what they did just now.

Maintaining his firm control on the roots as well as the overall situation, Emery wondered if those two teams would agree to help when the time came.
