Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 684 Butterfly (4)

Bone Dragon·

Special boss of ‘Yonggol Mountain’, like Dryzen of Dream Waterfall.

Actually, I’m still a little confused.

Not only did I encounter Dryzen not long ago, but I also got to see this guy with my own eyes.

‘I’m so lucky’

I can’t help but sigh, but what can I do?

Since the incident has already occurred, we have no choice but to try to resolve it somehow.

Paaaaaaaaaa-

When the breath that had been hitting my shield finally stopped,

“Are you okay, bro?”

Baekho Lee, who was pulling me by the back of my neck, asked me in a whisper that no one else could hear.

“Oh, it’s okay”

Fortunately, the dragon’s breath was a relatively thin, straight shot like a laser.

If it had spread out like other dragons, there would have been damage beyond the area blocked by the shield.

[Koooooooooooo-!!]

The bone dragon roars as if it doesn’t like us blocking its breath.

Looking at him, I asked Baekho Lee one thing.

“But did you calculate it?”

“What?”

“The stiffness time, did you calculate that and come here to get it exactly right?”

“···No? I just wanted to be with you without any calculations, even if I couldn’t save you—·”

That means you calculated it.

After all, which explorer would come into the middle of Breath when there is no chance of survival?

“Okay”

I smiled without realizing it and pulled away Baekho Lee’s hand that was still attached to the back of my neck.

Whether the angle was visible or not, nothing changed anyway.

“Thank you for coming to my rescue.”

“······”

What? I even said thank you and there was no reply?

Could it be that he is embarrassed too···?

“···So why are you so slow? If everyone had jumped in time, this wouldn’t have happened.”

···That’s right. Being embarrassed.

Feeling embarrassed for no reason, I sat up from where I was half-sitting.

“Do you have any plans for the next time?”

“No, I didn’t. I just ran there thinking I’d get it first.”

Yeah, that’s right.

“But wouldn’t it be difficult to run away now? Since we’ve reached Dragon Fear?”

But… is it just my mood that makes it seem like my responsibility is being particularly emphasized?

I don’t know, but I immediately started defending myself.

“Whether it touched or not, it wouldn’t have bounced that way. The fact that it appeared from the sky means that we already had aggro.”

“Yes? But if you jump while controlling the distance well—·”

Oh, you’re talking back?

“So I guess it wouldn’t have worked out.”

“······”

“But I was the only one left to take the first blow and even take the ‘breath’, so I guess I saved two people.”

Well, if you think about it that way, maybe I should be the one receiving the thanks—·

“Ah! Okay, let’s look ahead!”

When I turned my gaze forward again at Baekho Lee’s shout, I saw black beads forming in the air around the bone dragon that was over 20m tall.

“The Bone Dragon casts [Protection of Black Magic]”

This was also an active that all dragons had.

Well, except for the Bone Dragon, it’s not black magic, it’s just ‘magic protection’.

Even though there are some differences in the form of the skill, it is still a tier 1 defensive skill.

Well… there’s a saying that offense is the best defense, right?

Just like this

Pushuung-!

Black beads that hovered around the main body like drones flashed and shot magical waves toward us.

A miniature version of the breath shot by the dragon I saw earlier.

“Defense success”

I blocked one coming from the front.

Kwaaang-!

What was flying in diagonally was shattered by Baekho Lee stabbing the regime.

‘What should I do with this····’

I have a lot of thoughts

Of course, the goal was simple:

Dragon Raid?

If you succeed, you can get huge rewards.

Since it is not a labyrinth, it is difficult to expect essence, but to begin with, the byproducts are much more valuable to the dragon tribe.

First of all, Dragon Bone and Dragon Heart.

‘It’s a bone dragon, so it doesn’t have dragon skin···’

If the raid is successful, you will get an achievement, and in my case, I can also fill 1 stack of ‘Blessing of the Earth Dragon’ obtained through the vision of the Yongin tribe.

but····

‘Raid will be done later when we are ready.’

It’s impossible for us to catch that guy right now.

So now our goal is only one:

“Have you thought about it? How are you going to escape?”

How to get away from a bone dragon that has already attracted aggro

While worrying about it, I commanded the battle for now.

“We will help too!”

“One by one! Don’t come all at once, come in one by one!”

First, we minimized the risk by having the party outside the Dragon Fear enter the area one by one.

Of course, if several people are incapacitated at once, it is much more difficult to protect them····

“There is a gap between the levels”

“Rex Aures will be in a ‘stiff’ state for 10 seconds. ”

If you enter the field sequentially like this, there will be no problem with the second peer. Dragon Peer is a passive that becomes active again after a certain amount of time.

It is necessary to design it so that one person at a time is incapacitated from the start of the battle····

“I don’t care”

The surprising thing here was the doomsday grandpa.

The old man of destruction was not affected at all even when he entered the area.

‘This old man is also level 10…?’

Of course, for wizards and priests, the level has no meaning because they cannot eat essence.

However, that does not mean that levels do not exist.

When you kill a monster, they also gain experience points.

and····

‘How come only the warriors are stiff?’

What’s surprising is that, except for me and Rex Aures, everyone else ended up with the level 9 debuff ‘Paralysis’.

“There is a slight gap in the level”

“Leighton Bryatt becomes ‘paralyzed’ for 10 seconds.

Archer is level 9.

“There is a slight gap in the level”

“Jaina Flyer will be ‘Paralyzed’ for 10 seconds.

Karui’s priest is also level 9.

“There is a slight gap in the level”

“Yurven Havelion falls into a ‘paralyzed’ state for 10 seconds. ”

Even GMs who haven’t been in a labyrinth for years are at level 9.

‘···These guys are a real veteran team·’

The thought that I have to work harder in the future and the thought that I have to get through this moment well to do so coexist.

And in that sense·

“Havelion Ruingenes, I have something to ask you two.”

Before putting the plan that suddenly came to mind into action, I asked two wizards one question and received positive answers from both of them.

“···It is possible, but···”

“Are you thinking of using that magic to escape?”

Of course, the answer was positive, but that doesn’t mean the reaction was the same. Everyone, including the two wizards, showed an unsatisfactory reaction.

“I… but will that really work…?”

“Or is there another way?”

“······”

Why are you complaining when you can’t even offer something else?

“What’s wrong? I don’t look bad. Don’t get me wrong, everyone. We’re not in a position to choose between water and fire right now.”

However, Baekho Lee actively agreed with my opinion and the planning stage was completed.

So now it’s time to put it into action.

“Behel—raaaa …

As soon as he saw the wizards start to draw a magic circle, he shouted and rushed forward, with Baekho Lee following right behind.

From now on, our goal is only one:

“You know, Baron? To do that, we have to take more than 10% of that kid’s blood.”

“I know”

You must pass the first phase of the Bone Dragon.

That too, only five people, excluding the two wizards.

“You know that if your plan fails, Baron, we’ll have to go to Plan B, right?”

“······”

“Don’t worry, I have a plan B ready.”

What on earth is Baekho Lee’s plan B?

I’m curious about many things—·

“Even in the worst situation, those who are meant to live must live.”

···I suddenly didn’t want to hear it·

If Plan A succeeds in the first place, there would be no need to know.

“Can I borrow your shoulder?”

As I got closer to the bone dragon, Baekho Lee jumped high using my shoulder as a springboard.

Pushuung-!

The black spheres floating all around shot lasers at Baekho Lee, who was floating in the air, but he successfully evaded them by stepping on the air as if he was doing acrobatics.

and····

Kwaaaaang-!

He generously lands an uppercut on the dragon’s jaw.

[Goooooooo-!!]

Unfortunately, the amount of damage itself did not seem to be significant.

Phew-!

The arrows shot from behind did not inflict much damage, and in the case of Jaina, who plays the role of a priest, she is focusing on supporting rather than dealing damage.

‘Rex Aureus was originally closer to a pure tank····’

Because the damage expectations are so low, Aureus was placed in the rear.

The role he was given in this raid was to block long-range attacks from wizards, archers, and priests with his body.

‘···That Baekho guy also lost that skill·’

As the battle progresses, I am once again at a loss at the extremely small damage.

Well, now that [Star’s Extinction] is gone from Baekho Lee, the main dealer in our group can be seen as a magician.

But the wizards were so busy drawing magic circles that they were out of the battle···

‘It wouldn’t have been any different if I had participated in the first place.’

Up until phase 3, the wizard can only play a support role.

This dragon is also a ‘dragon’ after all.

Until it reaches phase 3, it has the unique characteristic of being 100% immune to magic damage…

“Leighton Bryatt cast [Overlap of Powers]”

“Leighton Bryatt cast [Tension Boost]”

“Leighton Bryatt cast [Tension Enhancement]····”

In fact, the dealers are Lee Baek-ho and Leighton Bryatt.

There are only two of them like this.

‘If I include you, then there are three?’

Soon I put my empty hand into the subspace.

and····

“The character is wearing No. 687 Siege Slayer”

“Comprehensive item level increases by +2800”

Equip the new weapon you just acquired over a period of approximately 3 seconds caused by the subspace delay.

“Strength stat increases by 40%”

“Agility stat is reduced by 80%”

Then he swings his hammer with all his might, his body noticeably dull.

Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-!!

At least for today·

“The character cast [Swing]”

“The character’s strength value is over 1200”

“Deals double damage to enemies with over 90% HP.”

I am the main dealer.

***

1 minute 2 minutes 3 minutes···

Up to this point it wasn’t that difficult.

It just feels like I’m doing some hard work?

It was like holding a pickaxe and repeatedly striking at an unbreakable ore.

but····

5 minutes·

From this point on, I could feel that the battle had become much more difficult.

As time passed, [Dragon Fear] was activated once more, and I was ‘stiffened’, and I was hit on the front legs a few times and almost died, but I barely survived after receiving healing.

The hind legs of the bone dragon that had been attacked with concentration were still intact.

10 minutes·

Archer Leighton Briot, who had been pouring out his skills without stopping, ran out of MP.

However, the empty space was not felt much because the magicians who completed the magic circle began to use support magic.

The hind legs of the bone dragon are a little tattered.

12 minutes·

As Jaina’s resources were depleted, the healing coming to me and Rex Aures stopped.

The only good news is that I have the know-how to put the hammer in and take it out of the subspace.

Now it only takes about 2 seconds to swap.

Ah, the hind legs of the dragon were also noticeably damaged.

17 minutes·

Lek Aures, who had been taking all the long-range projectiles with his bare body, finally collapsed, unable to fight.

The bone dragon began to wary its hind legs.

21 minutes·

Baekho Lee was seriously injured while trying to save me from a ‘stiff’ state.

The thing that had been attracting my attention for so long is gone, so hitting the hammer has become several times more difficult.

But now there really isn’t much left.

22 minutes·

I was hit hard without being able to guard.

I thought I was familiar with the attack pattern, but then I let my guard down and got attacked by an irregular attack.

23 minutes·

There were casualties in the rear ranks, who were left defenseless by Aureus’ departure.

Jaina, Priestess of Karui

It looks like the laser was properly inserted into the ship, but I don’t know if he’ll survive.

24 minutes·

Baekho Lee, who was drinking potions from behind, returned to the battlefield.

The number of times the hammer is swung per minute has increased.

From now on, let’s just think about one thing.

Swing the hammer and put it into subspace.

And with a lightened body, roll to the side and dodge the front paws.

Repeat this process again and again.

25 minutes·

Lee Baek-ho talks about Plan B.

When I listened to it, the content was amazing.

Since this was enough, he said that the three of them should just take the destruction scholar and run away, so I kindly replied that he didn’t have any friends.

26 minutes·

Swing a hammer

it’s tough·

27 minutes·

Swing a hammer

I feel like I’m going to die

28 minutes·

Swing a hammer

I think I don’t have much MP left now.

Should I really use Plan B?

‘···What is·’

And swung the hammer—·

‘huh?’

Just when I was thinking that the taste was a bit different from before, the iron hammer hit the ground, breaking the hind legs of the bone dragon that had a lot of bruises.

29 minutes·

Finally, one of the dragon’s legs was shattered.

It meant that the purpose was achieved.

Four feet, horns, wings

It was determined that the dragon seen in the game would lose 10% of its health if even one of these was broken.

Yeah, so····

“The Bone Dragon casts [Magic Sect]”

Phase 1 is over.

“The effect of all magic cast within the range increases by 10 times.”

I didn’t have to give any instructions.

The two wizards who had been waiting for this moment activated their magic circle.

“Belbev Ruingenes casted the 4th-grade space magic [Multiple Teleportation].”

It’s a magic that’s been used many times already, but isn’t that how it was originally?

There is a reason why it is used so often.

Whaaaa …

When using this magic circle in the current state where [Magic Sect] is activated, you can travel 10 times further than the original distance.

In simple terms, this means that you can travel from here to the primeval land in one breath.

At that point, even this guy won’t be able to keep up—·

[Where are you going?]

“···huh?”

What did I hear wrong just now—·

“The Bone Dragon casts ‘Dispel'”

No, wait a minute

‘The Bone Dragon… uses Dispel…?’

This is different from the game…?

Thump-!

At that moment, my mind went blank and I couldn’t think of anything.

“The magic power of Belvedere Ruinjenes is over 1000.”

“I managed to resist the Bone Dragon’s [Dispel], albeit weakly.”

Flash-!

For some reason, the teleportation effect appeared and a strong flash of light covered me.

“Incomplete order”

“The character moves to random coordinates”
