Chapter 677: 662 Preparations For The Final Battle (V)

I know I have soloed a lot of monsters so far and have defeated most of them but that was because they are predictable and they are easy to defeat plus, I am also allowed to kill them which makes things easier. As for fighting the dragon, although we have to defeat the dragon, we cannot kill the dragon as that would also ruin our purpose of fighting against him. So for starters, it's pretty hard to hold back a lot. It's not like we are not taking this seriously but to fight a dragon without accidentally killing him? That is pretty much a troublesome thing.

Especially for me. Some of my attacks are pretty much fatal to use so I have to hold back and instead, I turned to the support side to everyone as that is the easier task for me. As for the damage output, Sigma and Harmless Sparrow just made it just right for the damage to sink in yet not kill him.

It would have been great if we could finish this as soon as possible, but that is where the hard part comes in. With its second phase, the dragon is quite resilient in attacks and we are still not sure what to do to weaken him. After all, for someone like me who returned from the past, this form is one of the things I am useless, so we have to keep doing little experiments to see which works the best against him. We are also making sure he didn't notice that we are just taking it easy against him.

For a dragon, their pride is on the line and if they detect their enemies are looking down on or pitying them, they tend to get angry. This dragon is a mellow fellow but that doesn't mean we have to pull that risk so we keep doing the minimal effort that would make the dragon feel the pressure yet not feel much of the threat we pose against him.

The dragon once again positions himself again and his mouth starts to spit some flames which means he is once again ready to spit out flames once more, but I can also tell that this dragon is about to do something different compared to before and I can easily tell that defending against it would be a bad idea. Instead, we either delay it or completely stop it. And I think the latter option works fine the best.

"You two, get ready to release your strongest attacks!"

I jump high into the air and activated my wings to take flight before pulling 3 Scrolls. Since the scroll use has no cooldown compared to the skills and I don't need to buy it in my skill tree and waste my skills, it was worth a lot. It's much weaker than the actual skill but I needed the weaker version compared to the strong version instead.

Now, the first scroll,

RIP!

As the paper was torn to pieces, golden shackles appeared on the body of the boss. It easily covered the whole body of the dragon and the moment it appeared, the dragon stopped after pulling his hands and realized the golden shackles stops him from doing anything. However, these shackles are not for restraining. Sure it does that, but it's a secondary function, its main function is this.

BZZZZT!

Sparks crawls through the golden shackles and before the dragon realizes...

ROOOOAAAAARR!

The dragon roared in pain, due to the large volts of electricity that suddenly runs through his body.

As I said before, these shackles are not ordinary shackles, it's one of the skills of the Holy Knight, [Shackle of the Divine Lightning]. I have yet to see Sigma use this skill but since she doesn't use it, why not use it myself?

Before the skill was over and disappear, I rip the second scroll to pieces, activating the second skill.

A giant eye appeared to stare directly into the eyes of the dragon and before the dragon can blink, the debuff [Petrification] immediately crawls on his body. The second scroll I tore to pieces is the skill of the Druid utilizing the skill of the Basilisk's Petrification ability but its name is derived from the woman who became the monster that can turn people who look at her directly into the eye into a stone, [Gaze of Medusa].

Compared to the lethal attack of Medusa that can turn anything into a stone and kill them in the process, this skill is comparable to the skills Basilisks use which is only good for stalling enemies or for holding them in place for a longer period of time.

And to complete these, I tear to pieces the last scroll and as the scroll disintegrated, the next ability appeared in a form of a giant bone falling from the sky and popping up from the ground. They were all falling and popping out around the dragon and surrounded him before he can break out from the certification. Soon, the bones put him in a cage of bones. This is one of the Druid's other skills for trapping enemies and monsters that can aid in taming which is known as the [Skeleton Cage]. It's unbreakable to those who were encased by it but it can receive and transfers all the attacks the cage receives to the one inside. Although this sounds pretty powerful, it only lasts for 1 minute.

But 1 minute is enough and I think it is necessary for the final attacks.

"NOW!"

"Alright! I have been waiting for this! [PHOENIX DRIVE]!"

Fiery and hot, the flaming bird bursts out from the swing of Harmless Sparrow which passes through the cage eventually passing the damage to the dragon as well.

ROAAAAAARRRR!

The dragon screamed in pain and tried to break free from both the petrification state and the [Skeleton Cage] but due to having suffered a few injuries, it made the escape hard. He managed to break a few parts of the petrification but it wasn't enough as Sigma made a follow-up as well.

"It's time to end this! HA!"

Sigma pulled the golden chain as hard as she can that instead of forcefully pulling the ability [Iron Maiden] out, the chain breaks instead. This made Harmless Sparrow stunned for a bit as she never had the golden chains break to pieces like that. However, the [Iron Maiden] skill still proceeds like it should have been but this time, with a big difference.

As soon as it opens up to swallow the dragon along with the cage, the previous spikes do not possess any color but this time around, blood has been dripping out from it and a bigger change is that the [Iron Maiden] is much larger than it should have been.

When the [Skeleton Cage] disappeared after the duration of the skill ended, the [Iron Maiden] snapped a shot and the scream of the dragon echoed into the cave, followed by silence. A few seconds later, the dragon reappeared again, this time, in a near-death state.

"Damn...you guys really brought out most of the fight... although I hold out a little bit, you guys still managed to defeat me huh?"

The dragon chuckled as the black coloration on his body slowly fades out.

I tore apart a [Full Restore] Scroll to heal the dragon up, returning him back to a healthy state. The dragon sat down and shook his head as he looked at the wounds on his body slowly healing.

"Now you have to uphold your promise," Sigma immediately pointed out to the dragon to which the latter chuckled.

"Yes, yes. I know, I know. Even though I hated to lose, this is part of the promise. I do not break promises so I will hold on to them even if it is a bit shameful to me. You want my help in this battle right? Then so be it. My aid will be available for you all to get. I will be helping you all in this battle of yours but only once. No more, no less. Of course, you guys should also honor the promise of meat as well. I may have lost but you guys have already mentioned that I will still get meat as part of the consolation price."

"Hey, we don't break promises, old man. Since you honored the promise, then we will also do so."

Before we can even say anything, Harmless Sparrow pulled out from her inventory a huge carcass of a monster that looks like it came from the Frozen Region. The moment the dragon saw the carcass, he immediately salivate at the sight of it.

"Yes! Meat!"

From the looks of it, it seems I am the only one that is surprised that Sparrow pulled out that one from her inventory as Sigma seems to not be bothered from it which means even Sigma knows what it was. Perhaps it is one of the monsters she hunted before and kept inside her inventory.

However, the dragon is now secured. The final preparations are now going smoothly. The final battle draws near.
