Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 490 Stage
[Warning: The Pioneer is detected to be in contact with the world's dominant unit, the "Black Dragon" Nidhogg. This unit is a specialized dominant unit. It is recommended that multiple people form a team to challenge it! ]

"Roar--!!"

The scarlet warning sounded along with the roar of a pitch-black dragon as huge as a mountain, echoing wildly in Xin Lailai's mind.

hum!
A gust of fishy wind spread out with the roar of the black dragon and the flapping of its huge wings that seemed to cover the sky and the sun, and collided heavily with the dark pressure rising from Xin Lailai's body. The strong impact force caused Xin Lailai's body to slide back dozens of steps uncontrollably.

[Hint: You have been affected by the "Dragon Pressure" effect, your movement speed has been slowed down by 50%, your body defense value has been reduced by 100 points, and you will suffer 50 points of breath damage per second]

[Determining...]

[Judgment successful, breath strength judgment passed, the influence of the current "Dragon Pressure" effect has been exempted! ]

Several lines of light blue text quickly passed by the edge of Xin Lailai's sight. On the plain, Xin Lailai opened his spiritual field and observed the dark giant beast in front of him crawling out of the pit little by little with its claw pressed on the edge of the pit, dragging its one-kilometer-long body. He took a deep breath, and without any hesitation, he slapped the Youlin Kongyu behind him heavily, and the whole person suddenly flew backwards close to the ground.

The "Black Dragon" Nidhogg was definitely not a boss that he could defeat alone.

This can be understood by just taking a glance at the opponent's skill panel that is arranged on four pages.

——A total of 26 skills, some of which are ridiculously powerful passive or buff-type active, or they are large-scale AOE that can almost clear the screen with one move.

If we use the game to describe it, assuming that the ordinary overlord unit is the dungeon BOSS in the dungeon, which is strong enough by itself or with a small team, then Nidhogg is the world BOSS that requires players from all servers to challenge together and engage in a large-scale crusade.

If you don't bring enough people with you, and rely on only one person to output, in the end you may end up fighting for a long time but still not getting as much as the opponent's passive recovery.

Buzz, rumble—! !

The earth began to tremble, and a pitch-black wall began to rise on the horizon in front of us - it was a giant black dragon that gradually changed from crawling to standing.

“Stand…stand up!”

On the plain, the LV.2 and LV.3 adventurers looked up at the pitch-black beast that was slowly rising from the shattered land in the east, and their bodies began to tremble unconsciously.

If you look from a distance, you will have a feeling that the giant beast in front of you is moving abnormally slowly, but in fact that is just a visual illusion caused by its huge size. In fact, as long as you get a little closer, you will find that basically as long as the beast moves, the airflow on its surface will be driven by its body to form storms.

--coming soon!

Xin Lailai looked at the black dragon that suddenly stood up from the ground like a human being, relying on the strength of its leg muscles. His pupils shrank slightly, and without any hesitation, he immediately shouted with the secret soul technique:
"Everyone! Defense Strategy No. 1!!"

A loud roar formed by soul thoughts instantly exploded from the minds of all adventurers on the plain. In an instant, all the adventurers on the south gate side took action.

"If you don't want to die, get down!"

"Reinforcement, ready--!!"

"Hahaha, I am Ganesha!"

"Hephatos Familia! Form a formation!"

“Hahhahahaha!”

The members of Hephaestus' clan at the front immediately shouted in unison, under the command of a wild female warrior who was wrapped in bandages and wearing the same eye mask as Hephaestus, and stood shoulder to shoulder, raising the heavy tower shields in their hands that were more than three meters high.

The adventurers who were able to chant magic and were directly behind raised their staffs and cast reinforcement spells on the ground in front of them.

As for the remaining adventurers, the most conspicuous one is a clan with a very unique shape.

At first glance, one can see a burly man with an ivory mask on his head and bare chest laughing loudly towards the sky. Behind him, wild boar-like monsters as big as giant elephants, accompanied by clan members dressed like tribal savages, are sprinting on the plain along with the ten-meter-tall white elephant he is riding. They pass through the phalanx of LV.2 and LV.3 adventurers, tying up the adventurers who have lost their ability to move due to fear from the ground to the monsters, and rushing to the flank at full speed.

“Hey! Over here——!”

"Hurry, hurry up to heaven!"

Not only a few large clans, following Xin Lailai's order, it can be seen that all the adventurers near the South Gate responded in their own ways.

Flying, hiding underground, raising shields, running back to the city gate...

"Welf!" "Here we come!"

In the direction where Bell Crany was, it could be seen that almost at the first moment when the black dragon raised its body, Bell Crany immediately shouted at the red-haired young man dressed as a villager beside him, and the other party immediately activated the magic sword in his hand and swung it hard on the ground.

Pong!
An invisible storm instantly rose from under the feet of the two men, sweeping them up into the air. When they reached the top and were about to start falling, the giant black dragon on the horizon also happened to rise to its highest point.

then……

boom--! !

The body of the nearly kilometer-long black dragon pressed down heavily, and with the bonus of 90 points of strength attribute and the incomparably huge body, it smashed to the ground with a deafening explosion. The ground around it instantly bulged into a visible "big bag", and at the same time, eight shock waves rushed out from the sharp claws of the forelimbs and rushed straight forward.

Rock creation magic rock barrier!
A yellowish-brown light bloomed from Xin Lailai's hands. Walls of rock rose from the ground in front of him and collided with the eight shock waves rushing straight towards him.

Boom, boom, boom——! !

The earth walls were broken one after another. Normally, these defensive barriers generated by magic were enough to withstand the ultimate moves of ordinary second-level contractors, but at this moment they were all like paper. They only blocked the shock wave from the black dragon for a moment before being completely torn apart.

boom!
Finally, when the 39th row of rock walls also collapsed, four of the eight shock waves finally stopped, leaving a mark more than half a meter deep on the 40th row of rock walls and then dissipated on the spot.

The remaining four waves were driven by the shock wave and broke through the fortieth rock wall in one fell swoop, passed by Xin Lailai's side, and rushed straight towards the phalanx of adventurers behind.

The next second, a collision broke out.

"Drink ah ah ah——!!"

The members of Hephaestus' family roared as if they were using all their strength, their faces flushed red, and they pushed the tower shields in their hands forward with all their strength.

“Wait, wait a minute…Ah——!!”

“Help…Help!” “Hand…My hand!!
"Xiaolei, Xiaolei, where are you?!"

Desperate screams and wails rang out from some weak clansmen and adventurer groups, and the next second they were drowned out by the storm formed by the shock wave hitting the city gate.

The two shock waves collided with the Orario city gate, which had been cast with a large amount of blessings and reinforcement magic, causing the entire city gate to tremble heavily twice.

The remaining one passed dangerously behind the Ganesha clan who were riding on magical beasts and galloping on the flank, and gradually dissipated after rushing for several hundred meters.

Looking at the plain again at this moment, you can see that the originally flat plain has completely changed its appearance.

The area within a radius of 500 meters centered on the black dragon collapsed completely, and eight huge cracks spreading out in a fan shape spread from the plain, tearing eight large rift valleys of varying lengths on the plain.

"Gulu~!"

The sound of swallowing saliva was heard. Bell Crany and the red-haired young man, who were in mid-air and had avoided the shock wave and earthquake by relying on the height difference, looked down at the scene in front of them, and couldn't help showing a look of shock on their faces. "This is... the black dragon."

one strike.

Just one hit.

There are no fancy techniques, just the purest form of lifting the body and smashing it down is enough to unleash a power comparable to a natural disaster.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air. It was the breath of death emitted by the adventurers who were unfortunately torn into pieces in the previous attack due to their lack of strength and luck.

Crying, wailing, screaming...all kinds of sounds mixed with negative emotions floated from behind along with the smell of blood, as if reminding them that this was not some heroic game that could be successful just by relying on momentary enthusiasm, but a real bloody war.

Rumble——! !

A roar like a thunderstorm resounded from under the oppressive sky, and the black dragon, which had forced Xin Lailai back nearly a thousand meters away with a downward strike, slowly moved its two dark red vertical pupils as huge as the bright moon, focused on Xin Lailai's position, opened its dragon jaws, and a dark red flame began to rise from its mouth.

Peng——! !

The next second, dazzling flames erupted from its dragon jaws, and scorching flames spewed out of its mouth, turning into a huge, expanding fireball, rushing towards the direction of Xin Lailai.

A fireball that was hundreds of meters in size raged across the plain, like the scorching sun falling on the earth, burning everything in its path.

"Magic Power Increase"

Without any hesitation, Xin Lailai's mind moved, and the rock attribute magic in his body was completely switched to fire attribute in less than 0.1 seconds. Then he raised his left hand and uttered two bytes:

"Ran Yan!"

Flame creation magic: Crazy Dragon Flame!
boom--! !

A deep red flame shaped like a dragon's head rushed out instantly, colliding with the dark red fireball rushing towards Xin Lailai, and finally exploded with a bang.

But before the flames completely dissipated, the black dragon, which had opened its jaws, suddenly made a new move:

The black dragon that spewed out a fireball of dragon flame did not continue to attack with its breath. Instead, it bent its limbs, and then suddenly exerted force along with the flapping of its dragon wings. Its mountain-like body instantly accelerated to an extreme, and it followed closely behind the fireball it had spewed out, opening its bloody mouth and biting towards Xin Lailai.

"Not good!" "Mr. Tyrant!!"

Bell and Ming, who were at the rear, and other adventurers who were in a direction where they could see the situation clearly, looked at this scene, and their hearts beat heavily at the same time.

"Roar--!!"

A terrifying dragon roar erupted from in front of Xin Lailai, and the pungent fishy wind blew away the flames, hitting the spell chip in front of Xin Lailai, making Xin Lailai's robe whistling.

When faced with the bloody mouth that suddenly appeared in front of her, Xin Lailai did not dodge at all, but instead showed a playful smile.

The next second—

Boom——! !

The dazzling golden lightning instantly pierced through the clouds, poured down from the sky, and hit the black dragon's head at an unimaginable speed, knocking the black dragon's head to another direction and passing by Xin Lailai.

Immediately afterwards, a pitch-black shadow flashed past Xin Lailai's eyes, stepped heavily on the black dragon, used the force to rush upwards, turned a perfect "L" shape, and rushed straight to the top of the black dragon's head.

Zheng!
The pleasant sound of a blade being unsheathed rang out from mid-air, and a touch of dark color bloomed from the hands of a ghostly, cold figure in mid-air:

Dark Slash: Draw the Sword!

boom--! !

The blade light formed by pure Netherworld death energy heavily bombarded the wound hit by the boundary thunder, instantly tearing a wound more than 20 meters long on the black dragon's right eye. Dark red blood gushed out from the wound like a spring, causing the black dragon to let out a low roar of pain:
“Roar…” “Kill!!”

Before the black dragon's voice could spread, a roar full of oppression suddenly exploded from above, and Ota, whose entire body was red with a faint dark golden light flowing on his body and a two-meter-long black heavy sword in his hand, descended from mid-air, leaving a bloody tail and falling heavily on the black dragon's head like a meteorite.

boom--! !

The oppressive feeling far exceeded the heavy slashing explosion of thunder and sword light. The sword with 90 points of real strength attribute + extremely developed heavy sword master LV.MAX + beast transformation + a large amount of magic gain bombarded the black dragon's head, abruptly interrupting the black dragon's roar and smashing the huge head like a mountain into the ground.

Sizzle~!
"I say, you are really a brave fellow. If I had missed the target just now, you would have been fed to it now."

A sharp sound of electric arcs rang out. Yamu, whose body was wrapped in golden lightning arcs, stood in mid-air with a long sword in his hand. He glanced at Xin Lailai and complained.

"Doesn't this just show my trust in you, Brother Yamu?"

"hehe."

Upon hearing this, Xin Lailai chuckled, causing Yamu to roll his eyes.

——To hell with trust. If he had missed the target just now, he guaranteed that the other party would definitely use this as an excuse to mock him.

——After all, this was what he had planned when he was in the sky just now, watching the other side deal with the black dragon's first wave of attack.

"Black Sword, was that enough?"

A hoarse voice as if suppressing something sounded, and Ota, who was standing on the head of the black dragon and exuding a terrifying bloody aura, glanced at the black dragon at his feet, whose pupils were dilated and seemed to be unconscious, and said in a deep voice.

"That's enough. With that, whether Black Dragon wants to or not, he has no choice but to enter the second stage."

Xin Lailai narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the black dragon below that seemed to be unconscious, with no intention of taking action at all.

Not only him, but also Yamu and the executioner beside him, did not show any intention of taking action.

The three of them surrounded each other in a triangle with Black Dragon and Ota as the center, as if they were waiting for something.

And when the time passed to the 5th second, the black dragon's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and horrifying strands of blood emerged from the dark red vertical pupils, spreading like nematodes.

Om-! !

A scarlet light rose from the black dragon's body, and its huge wings spread out to their maximum size. Wisps of flames rose from the gaps between its black scales. Not only that, with the black dragon as the center, the temperature around it began to rise rapidly, even reaching a level that distorted the air.

"Roar--!!"

Finally, accompanied by a circle of red light bursting out from its body surface, Ota, who was standing on its head, lost his balance and was thrown to the ground. Only three people standing in the air were still standing there, easily resolving the impact of the flames, overlooking the dark giant in front of them, and a hint of coldness flashed across their eyes.
