Inside the temple, the battle lasted for more than thirty minutes. The Thunder Dragon’s health dropped to around 35%, while the Fallen Angel Burost’s health remained at about 85%.
Everything seemed calm. With their attributes tripled, CuiCanDaoGuang steadily held the Thunder Dragon, while the Fallen Angel Burost was kept occupied by LengAoYing, Nie Yan, and DaiTouGeXiong QiZai. This relatively stable situation boosted everyone’s confidence; perhaps they really could defeat both the Fallen Angel Burost and the Thunder Dragon!
“All magic users, increase your damage! The Thunder Dragon is almost dead!” Nie Yan shouted urgently in the team chat.
The group of mages immediately boosted their output. Streams of magic shot toward the Thunder Dragon, exploding with continuous booming sounds.
Just as everyone eagerly anticipated killing the Thunder Dragon, the situation suddenly changed. The Fallen Angel Burost let out a heavy roar, showing signs of losing control. It seemed to be sending some kind of message to the Thunder Dragon.
The Thunder Dragon roared with fury, chanting a passage in the ancient dragon tongue. A massive pillar of lightning descended from the heavens, striking directly at the area where Tang Yao and the other archmages had gathered.
“Everyone, quickly scatter!” Tang Yao shouted urgently.
Blink!
Teleport!
One by one, figures flashed away, leaving their original positions empty.
With a tremendous boom, the thunder pillar exploded on the ground, creating a massive crater and cracking the surface with powerful force, causing everyone’s hearts to sink with fear.
The Thunder Dragon started using skills!
“Be careful of the Thunder Dragon’s magic!” CuiCanDaoGuang said gravely. He could only draw the Thunder Dragon’s physical attacks, but was completely helpless against its magical attacks.
Missing its target, the Thunder Dragon roared in rage. Blue lightning danced around its body, creating a spectacular sight.
The Thunder Dragon’s aggro was becoming difficult to control. CuiCanDaoGuang grew anxious. If the Thunder Dragon broke free, the consequences would be unimaginable. He glanced at his skill bar and noticed a very powerful aggro-drawing skill at the end.
Heavenly Black Dragon Slash!
CuiCanDaoGuang roared furiously, swinging his longsword downward. Dark energy swirled around the blade, emitting a dragon-like roar.
The powerful sword qi struck the Thunder Dragon, exploding on impact with a loud boom.
A strong counterforce surged from the sword, sending CuiCanDaoGuang flying backward with a bang.
CuiCanDaoGuang wasn’t the only one; ShuiSeYanTou, Lei Su, and others who were attacking the Thunder Dragon were also thrown back one after another.
CuiCanDaoGuang checked his health, which had dropped to only 32%. At that moment, a healing spell landed on him, restoring his health to full.
CuiCanDaoGuang was relatively okay, but ShuiSeYanTou, Lei Su, and other physical attackers, known for their high damage, were instantly killed after being thrown back.
“It’s physical damage reflection! All melee fighters, stop attacking!” CuiCanDaoGuang shouted anxiously, but it was already too late. Five melee fighters, including ShuiSeYanTou, Lei Su, Sun, WangZheTianXia, and Ying Sha, had already been killed.
The Thunder Dragon’s physical damage reflection was astonishing. The damage reflected back was nearly eight times the damage inflicted. CuiCanDaoGuang was relatively okay due to his high health and defense, but ShuiSeYanTou, Lei Su, and others, who focused on attack power, weren’t so lucky.
The close-combat warriors could no longer restrain the Thunder Dragon, which had turned into a rampaging beast, hunting down and slaughtering the mages relentlessly.
The situation was critical. If a few more Archmages perished, their team’s damage output would plummet, rendering them unable to defeat the Thunder Dragon.
Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Xie Yao waved her staff. Her feet slowly lifted off the ground, and her robe fluttered without wind.
Xie Yao cast a forbidden-level status skill on herself, the Holy Edict. With a wave of her staff, five Holy Light Arrows shot forth.
The five Holy Light Arrows flew in straight lines through the air and struck the Thunder Dragon. With crisp cracking sounds, five damage numbers exceeding 60,000 floated above its head consecutively.
The impact from the Holy Light Arrows’ explosion forced the Thunder Dragon to retreat several steps.
Suddenly attacked so fiercely, the Thunder Dragon became furious. It locked its gaze on Xie Yao and charged toward her.
“All Mages, unleash full damage!” Tang Yao shouted loudly in the team chat. Previously, they had been cautious, fearing the Thunder Dragon’s aggro would shift to them, causing CuiCanDaoGuang and others to fail in holding the aggro. But now, with the Thunder Dragon’s aggro completely out of control, they had no more concerns and went all out!
All the Archmages unleashed their attacks, casting high-damage, powerful spells. Tang Yao, in particular, fired devastating spells like Orbital Bombardment as rapidly as a machine gun, with each spell dealing nearly 20,000 points of damage.
As everyone focused on attacking the Thunder Dragon, XiHuanJiangNan silently retreated to a corner. Waving his staff, magical elements swirled around him as he chanted a series of obscure incantations.
Single-target Forbidden Magic – Holy Explosion!
Magic surged violently. The Thunder Dragon shifted its gaze to XiHuanJiangNan, hesitating slightly.
Taking advantage of the Thunder Dragon’s hesitation, Xie Yao launched several powerful spells at it.
Provoked again, the Thunder Dragon resumed its charge toward Xie Yao, lifting its foot to stomp on her.
Xie Yao blinked away.
With a thunderous boom, the Thunder Dragon’s foot missed its target.
Tang Yao’s spells rained heavily on the Thunder Dragon, shifting its aggro once more.
Among the mages, Xie Yao and Tang Yao dealt the highest damage, surpassing ordinary team members by over 30%. They effortlessly drew the Thunder Dragon’s aggro. Cooperating seamlessly, they took turns attracting the Thunder Dragon’s attention while nimbly dodging its attacks, rendering it powerless.
“Its health is down to 10%!”
“Everyone, push harder! We’re almost there!”
After prolonged damage output, many Archmages were running low on mana. They quickly consumed Expert-level Instant Mana Recovery Potions, restoring their mana.
With its health dropping below 10%, the Thunder Dragon grew increasingly furious. Its skin gradually turned blood-red, emitting a powerful aura.
Feeling the immense pressure from the Thunder Dragon, everyone’s expressions changed.
“It’s enraged!”
At that moment, XiHuanJiangNan finally completed his single-target forbidden magic. A massive light sphere shot toward the Thunder Dragon, exploding on contact and sending a shockwave that hurled the Thunder Dragon backward.
“Jiangnan, great job!”
“Nice one!”
XiHuanJiangNan’s single-target forbidden magic bought valuable time for the team. The Archmages quickly ramped up their damage.
The Thunder Dragon stumbled several times before finally standing up, with a damage number exceeding 500,000 floating above its head, causing its health to drop by nearly 2%.
“Who else has a single-target forbidden magic?”
“Still on cooldown!”
“Mine is too!”
Single-target forbidden magic had a high usage frequency but a cooldown period of two to three months. Among everyone present, only XiHuanJiangNan still had one available.
“Damn, I wish I had saved my single-target forbidden magic for this moment!” ShaBuSiDeHuaiDan lamented. It was too late for regrets now.
The single-target forbidden magic dealing over 500,000 damage completely enraged the Thunder Dragon. Its body suddenly expanded in size. As it took each step forward, electric snakes danced across the ground.
The Thunder Dragon locked its gaze on XiHuanJiangNan, its eyes glowing with eerie red light.
Feeling the Thunder Dragon’s aggro, XiHuanJiangNan’s heart sank. He tried to escape, but his feet felt like they were weighed down by lead.
It was a paralysis status!
“I can’t move!” XiHuanJiangNan cried urgently in the team chat.
The Thunder Dragon charged toward XiHuanJiangNan, swiping its claw downward. A blinding light flashed, and XiHuanJiangNan was instantly killed.
“Damn!” Seeing XiHuanJiangNan killed instantly, everyone was furious.
But what followed quickly spiraled out of their control.
After killing XiHuanJiangNan, the Thunder Dragon suddenly accelerated, charging toward Xie Yao, who had the highest aggro. Its speed was over three times faster than before!
Xie Yao tried to flee, but her body suddenly stiffened.
The Thunder Dragon drew closer, the situation becoming critical!
Suddenly, CuiCanDaoGuang charged from the side, blocking the Thunder Dragon’s path and activating his defensive stance.
The Thunder Dragon’s massive claw struck down fiercely. With a loud boom, CuiCanDaoGuang was knocked flying and instantly killed! When Li Li Hua Sha and Hei Se Tian Tang tried to heal him, it was already too late. Once someone was instantly killed, healing was useless!
“Only 6% left! Even if we wipe, we must kill it!”
“Don’t look into its eyes!” Xie Yao shouted anxiously.
Hearing Xie Yao’s warning, everyone quickly averted their gaze from the Thunder Dragon’s eyes. It was actually simple not to look into its eyes—just focus on a specific body part, allowing them to track its position without meeting its gaze.
The Thunder Dragon opened its mouth, spewing streams of dragon breath. These blasts struck the ground, causing violent explosions.
Under the Thunder Dragon’s fierce attacks, the mages were in disarray.
As the dragon’s breath headed toward him, ShaBuSiDeHuaiDan blinked away just in time. But as his feet touched the ground, a net of lightning descended from the sky.
Not good!
ShaBuSiDeHuaiDan tried to escape but found all his spells unavailable. Without magic, a mage’s running speed was far too slow to evade quickly.
In a flash of lightning, ShaBuSiDeHuaiDan was reduced to a blinding light.
Another teammate had fallen.
Soon after, Xia Chong Yu Bing, Mo Jiu, and others were also killed by the Thunder Dragon.
Despite their continuous damage output, the Thunder Dragon’s health was down to about 5%, but only Xie Yao, Tang Yao, and a few others remained to keep attacking, while many bodies lay scattered on the ground.
“Nie Yan, we can’t do it! We can’t kill the Thunder Dragon!” Tang Yao said anxiously. A wipe was inevitable.
The Thunder Dragon was in hot pursuit of Xie Yao. Xie Yao held a sphere of earth magic in her left hand, waved her staff with her right, and suddenly conjured several thick earth walls in front of her. However, these magical defenses could only hold for a brief moment.
