Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 491 Form

A huge space crack that was gradually healing spanned the sky, swallowing up all the light that was cast toward the ground. A thunderous roar rose from the battlefield, contrasting with the strong airflow formed by the high temperature.

[Warning: Overlord unit "Black Dragon" Nidhogg has entered the "transformation" stage. It is recommended to evacuate the current area immediately! ]

"Roar--!!"

A shrill warning sound was accompanied by a circle of scorching flames. The giant black dragon that was knocked unconscious by Ota's attack suddenly opened its eyes, and its dragon neck, which was hundreds of meters long, suddenly rose up and roared towards the sky.

Peng——! !

Then, the black dragon flapped its wings heavily, which could reach a terrifying length of nearly a thousand meters when spread out. Its forelimbs as thick as mountains suddenly exerted force, bursting out an extremely powerful force, and rushed into the air with its entire body.

……

Skill 23, Destruction Power (Secret Passive, LV.MAX): When the cumulative damage exceeds 30% of the maximum health or the head is hit by a "part damage" level attack during the "initial form", it will enter a 10-second accumulation phase. During the accumulation phase, it will absorb 50% of the damage received, and its own health cannot be lower than 10%. Accumulate "form switching" and switch between "water", "fire", "earth",

"Wind" randomly switches between the four elemental forms. Each form can be triggered once. Each time it switches, it will cause (500% of the damage absorbed in the accumulation phase + 5000% of the lost health) points of corresponding switching attribute damage to the surrounding units within 250-50m.

* Water Form: Increases healing received by 50%, Ice Resistance +50, and all attacks have a "Cold" effect.

* Fire Form: Limbs' basic attack power increased by 50%, fire resistance +50, all attacks have a "burning" effect.

*Earth Form: Body defense increased by 50%, petrification resistance +50, all attacks have a [Critical Hit] effect.

* Wind Form: Flight speed increased by 50%, wind erosion resistance +50, all attacks have a "cutting" effect.

*Tip: Due to rank suppression, the bonus provided by this skill has been reduced by 50%, and the form switching cooldown has been extended by 100%.

……

There are four elemental forms, and each time you switch, you will get a 10-second health lock, and when completed, a large-scale AOE will be performed.

This is the outrageous existence known as one of the three most difficult bosses to conquer in the large derivative world, the "Black Dragon" Nidhogg, who has forced a large number of stubborn fifth-level contractors into autism.

"Roar--!!"

A deafening roar sounded from the sky. After the black dragon flew into the air, it did not launch a dive attack. Instead, it let out a long roar towards the sky, and a dazzling flame began to accumulate in its bloody mouth.

This is……

In the distance, Bell Crany and a group of adventurers watched as a giant black dragon suddenly rushed into the air, staring at the dragon below with its huge body like a mountain range. Feeling the rapidly heating up air around it, their pupils couldn't help but shrink.

"It's dragon breath, be careful!!"

"Get out of the way, quick! Get out of the way!!"

"Flying Technique, where is the Flying Technique?! The Tyrant said that this move cannot be resisted standing on the ground!!"

"City gate! Hide behind the city gate quickly!!"

Anxious roars rang out one after another. The veteran adventurer who had successfully survived the first wave of the black dragon's attack looked at his companions around him who had not yet recovered from the oppression and shock brought by the black dragon, and roared hysterically.

"Bell! Hold on tight! We have to increase our altitude two more times!!"

Welf, who was standing next to Bell Crany, roared, not caring about anything else. He pointed the magic sword in his hand at the ground and quickly injected magic power into it.

boom--! !

A light green storm column that was more than ten meters thick rushed out from the tip of the magic sword. The huge anti-gravity force and the strong wind that was strong enough to lift the ground directly swept up the figures of the two people and threw them high into the sky.

The next second—

"Roar--!!"

A roar that was like several roars overlapping each other erupted from the sky. In an instant, the whole world seemed to be frozen for a brief moment. A dazzling fire suddenly erupted from the mouth of the pitch-black dragon. The surrounding light began to be severely distorted due to the high temperature. The terrifying heat that was enough to instantly evaporate a second-level top-tier contractor descended from above.

Fire Creation Magic: Reverse Fire!

A little fire appeared, and then quickly expanded into a huge fire circle with a diameter of nearly 100 meters, intercepting the heads of Xin Lailai and his group, and then...

boom--! !

The breath that was powerful enough to burn everything descended, collided with the circle of fire, and then circled around the circle of fire in a mysterious way, circling in the air, like a large flaming mosquito coil, and in just a few seconds it expanded to a width of nearly two hundred meters.

Second-tier magic: Reverse Flame.

This magic itself is not a large-scale magic, and it is not even a third-level magic. It is just a very ordinary second-level auxiliary magic. Its only use is to intercept all flames in a single direction.

It may sound like this magic is naturally counterproductive to fire mages, but in fact, in order to cast this magic, the requirement for an attack angle can be said to be almost harsh.

Only pure fire attacks that can hit in a straight line + nearly vertical angle of incidence can be perfectly resolved by the Reverse Flame. Otherwise, it will turn into an imbalance after spinning twice, which will not only fail to resolve the damage, but will make the opponent's attack even more powerful.

If it is a serious battle between wizards, this kind of magic is a pure IQ detector. If a fire wizard's ultimate move can be blocked by this thing, he will definitely be ridiculed for a whole year.

——But in this pure PVE type of BOSS battle, it’s completely different!

The black dragon, who had no idea how to perform delicate energy control, faced off against a serious wizard, and all of the opponent's elemental-based ranged attacks became a joke!
"It's actually... still possible?"

In the distance, adventurers who had already hidden or dodged looked at the flaming "cake" that was growing bigger and bigger like a long dragon in the field, and a look of astonishment appeared in their eyes.

"No wonder Mr. Tyrant said that it doesn't matter if you don't have time to dodge attacks other than the earth elemental form. Is this what you mean..."

Behind the city gate, the samurai girl who hid on the city wall with others looked at the shocking scene in the distance and murmured subconsciously.

"Tsk tsk, this guy has had enough fun. Once the photos are developed and the videos are edited, another great headline will come out."

Below the sea of ​​fire, Yamu glanced at the black-haired young man who was concentrating on controlling magic to dissolve the black dragon's breath, touched his chin, and complained.

The person holding the death row beside him lowered his eyes slightly, staring at the scene in front of him, and said nothing.

For a normal team of adventurers, the black dragon in the second stage is definitely an extremely difficult existence. But for them, in terms of the difficulty of the strategy, as long as it does not enter the earth element form, the other three forms of the black dragon are actually much easier to fight than the initial form in the first stage.

——After all, even in Paradise, a wizard who is proficient in magic and spells of four elemental attributes is definitely a rare existence.

After all, speaking from a motivational perspective, the initial opportunity for most people to become wizards is basically to discover that they have good talents in a certain spell system, such as a natural high affinity for fire elements or something like that... This leads to most of the people in the park taking a single-system or one main and multiple secondary development paths.

"Four types of elemental magic, two types of alchemy, soul science, and rune science... It's a wonder this guy hasn't worked himself to death yet. What on earth does he eat to nourish his brain?"

Yamu looked at the scene in front of him, and after recalling in his mind the amount of learning the other party had to do for all the routes he had taken, he couldn't help but complain.

To be honest, after Xin Lailai revealed the abilities she possessed, he was really scared by the other party.

A normal person would probably feel obviously tired and exhausted if they learned even 1/4 of the content, let alone half of it.

Not to mention that he knew very well that the black-haired young man in front of him and the white-haired girl who was in symbiosis with each other were not rare learning geniuses. The only way to learn so many things at the same time was to squeeze out their free time and make use of every minute and every second. "For them, this is the only way to become stronger."

A cold and indifferent voice came from the side. Upon hearing this, Yamu glanced at the man holding the dead, then looked at the black-haired young man who was resisting the black dragon's breath alone. He sighed, rubbed his temples lightly, and said:

"That's true..."

"Roar--!!"

Suddenly, a deafening roar exploded, interrupting Yamu's words.

In mid-air, the black dragon, which had been breathing downwards for a full minute, stared intently at the sea of ​​fire that had accumulated to nearly 500 meters wide but had not yet fallen to the ground. It had apparently realized something, and immediately roared angrily. It flapped its dragon wings behind it, stirring up a huge storm, and smashed downwards with its mountain-like body. It had obviously given up the idea of ​​defeating the enemy by breathing.

"Uh, no, is this guy mad?"

"..."

Under the sea of ​​fire, Yamu and the Death Bearer looked at the black dragon rushing towards them in anger. Their first reaction was not to dodge, but to be stunned.

——It is true that the black dragon’s body is very strong. With their small bodies, if they were really hit by it, their life-saving items would definitely be triggered on the spot.

The problem is that……

"change!"

A low cold shout sounded from mid-air. Xin Lailai, who was maintaining the Flame of Reversal, looked at the huge black shadow pressing down from the sky. Without any hesitation, he shouted and moved his mental power.

Peng——! !

An extremely dazzling huge pillar of fire shot up into the sky. The dark red flame that was originally spinning under the control of the reverse flame seemed to be suddenly pulled by something and rushed into the sky, colliding heavily with the swooping black dragon.

From just now until now, the black dragon has been spewing dragon breath for a total of 60 seconds. Even if these are just ordinary breaths of destruction, but based on the damage of 0.5+1800% of maximum health every 2 seconds, the total damage after 60 seconds of breath has reached a staggering 216000+240% of maximum health.

Even though the black dragon was currently maintaining its fire elemental form, with a fire resistance of 50 points, and even though these breaths were originally the flames that the opponent had spewed out, the effect on the opponent would inevitably be reduced, but the result of 60 seconds of breaths stacked together...

——It must also be forced to switch forms a second time!
boom--! !

A shocking explosion sounded in mid-air, and a kilometer-long black dragon was lifted up by the pillar of fire that shot up into the sky like a rag doll sitting on a fountain.

At first glance, the scene before your eyes looks like a volcanic eruption that has blown away an island, giving people an absurd and shocking visual impact.

But the next second, a loud shout came from Xin Lailai's mouth:

"run!"

Xin Lailai, who had stopped and blasted the black dragon away by herself just a second ago, turned into a residual shadow and fled madly into the distance with a shrill whistle.

Seeing this, the executioner standing by moved his eyes, and without any hesitation, he decisively turned into a dark shadow and retreated into the distance with Xin Lailai.

When Yamu heard this, he was stunned at first, then he quickly realized something, his face changed, and he subconsciously swore.

"Fuck! F**K this shitty mechanic monster!!"

Stab-! !

As soon as he finished speaking, Yamu's figure instantly turned into a bolt of lightning, running away desperately. Not only that, a loud roar composed of soul thoughts exploded across the entire plain:

"Everyone! Get out of the way!"

The roar of soul consciousness, so loud that it was almost soul-shattering, rang out in the minds of every adventurer on the plain. Adventurers looked at the sight of the black dragon being blown into the sky. They were stunned for a moment, and then they all realized something and began to run wildly or increase their altitude as if they were risking their lives.

"Damn it, Bell, hold on to me, keep going..."

"Bell!"

Above the area close to the center of the battlefield, a red-haired young man who was holding a paraglider to delay his landing time felt the terrifying breath coming from afar, his eyelids twitching, and he shouted to Bell Crany beside him. When he was about to use the magic sword to release wind magic to increase the altitude regardless of everything, a pleasant and urgent cry suddenly rang out, and a green figure rushed over from a distance, grabbed the arms of the two men and flew away.

"More than one! Combined chant! Make as many as you can! ! "

Not only that, in the direction where Xin Lailai was, Xin Lailai called out urgently in his mind, and the magic power in his body quickly switched to rock attributes. At the same time, he expanded the psychic field to the maximum, and his mental power surged.

Boom boom boom boom boom——!!

Intensive roars like beating drums rang out from the ground. Rock walls more than ten meters high rushed out from the ground, like dominoes played in reverse in a video. In just a few seconds, they formed a defense line spanning one kilometer.

And when time reaches a certain point——!
"Roar--!!"

The giant black dragon that was lifted into the sky fell heavily to the ground.

An angry roar accompanied by a circle of extremely rich khaki light rose from the ground and instantly spread across half of the plain.

In an instant, the whole world suddenly became quiet.

The sound of the wind, the roar, the shaking of the earth...even the tense breathing and heartbeats seemed to freeze.

The next second—

boom--! ! !
A rich khaki light instantly filled the entire world, and an khaki "star" with a radius of five kilometers slowly rose from the earth, engulfing everything in its path.

And when everything calmed down, the original plain disappeared.

What remained was a huge pit with a radius of five kilometers and a depth of more than one kilometer, which would make people feel an indescribable sense of fear at a glance.

Normally speaking, after understanding the mechanism clearly, basically no one will foolishly rush forward to output when the black dragon changes phases.

After all, that 2.5 times the damage reflection + the maximum killing radius of 5km is no joke no matter how you look at it.

But the world is so big and full of surprises. Among so many teams, there will always be one or two stubborn teams that are brave enough to try the power of the Black Dragon's counterattack.

Therefore, according to the recorded data, the maximum damage the Black Dragon suffered during the phase transition was approximately 15.

The cause of this accident was that a wizard wanted to take a gamble and see if he could break the black dragon's blood lock by damaging it.

The result of this was that the game that was originally a sure win was almost overturned. Fortunately, the team at that time was strong enough to stabilize the situation.

When seeing this information, Xin Lailai had complained about how stupid one must be to be so stubborn, but now -

——This record of 15 damage was successfully broken by him with an astonishing damage of over 30.

——And there is a great possibility that it will become the kind that will never be surpassed.

Xin Lailai even felt that if he could go back alive this time, he might see his name on the next issue of Paradise’s Stupid Sculpture List.
