I will not move unless the enemy moves.
She looked up at the flame dragon flapping its wings in the sky, waiting for its first attack.
The third rule of "Rules to Remember for Killing Flame Dragons". This is also what the young master often warns her about, as she is always the first to use her skills.
When dealing with a flame dragon that has not been fought before, the first thing to consider is a war of attrition.
After the opponent attacks first, estimate the opponent's attack strength, then adjust the magic consumption, strive for the most efficient consumption, and wear out most of its energy.
But...
The dragon above flapped its wings, carefully observing the team below with its blue eyes, and then slowly stopped on the red toy box it had just come out of.
"Huh? Why... not attack?"
"Huh——"
It exhaled, as if in response to Iel's question.
"Huh——"
It blew out a second breath, with some mockery of expecting Iel to attack.
"Flame Dragon Killer, what's going on now?"
"I don't know, I've never encountered such a fire dragon."
As the common "fire-breathing dragons" in the dungeon, they have always been described as "violent", "irritable", "aggressive", etc., so they are the most in need of defense among the monsters in the dungeon. But...
Iel had a bad feeling.
She thought of a strategy that the fire dragon had never used before.
It saw that she wanted to fight a war of attrition with it?
Could this fire dragon be...extraordinarily smart? Even very familiar with the means of dealing with adventurers?
"Since you don't attack, let us do it."
The lame White has good sword skills. He has already put a crossbow on his hand and aimed it in the direction of the fire dragon above his head.
"Wait, Mr. White, it's too early now..."
White's first arrow has been fired, and Iel can only open the ice wall in his hand.
"Hmph."
The fire dragon exhaled a stream of hot smoke from its nose, flapped its wings, flew up from its box, circled in the air three times, and easily avoided the shooting from the ground.
It did not use fire immediately, but cleverly took advantage of Iel to maintain the ice wall and protection to fight a war of attrition with the archers on the ground.
"White, let me do it too--"
Emily rushed out from behind the two of them and aimed the staff in her hand at the fire dragon.
Iel saw that the two of them cooperated very well, worthy of being a couple who had been in the team for many years. The bow and arrow and magic forced the fire dragon into a dead end.
However...
Iel felt more and more that something was wrong.
The trajectory of its flight in the air was not forced by the two to keep circling and hovering. Such a trajectory looked like...
Some kind of drawing?
Suddenly, it hovered in the air.
The wings brought layers of heat waves, and several bows and arrows flew over its wing tips, and ice rays also brushed its tail.
"Finally, you're not hiding anymore, Emily, increase your output!"
White quickly replaced several crossbows in his hand, intending to shoot through the fire dragon.
Emily temporarily stopped the staff and began a round of chanting.
"Flame Dragon Killer, I'll leave the defense to you for now."
"Okay, no problem."
Iel looked up at the sky, and vaguely, in the distant sky, she saw the burn marks left by the burning tail of the fire dragon.
These burn marks also left marks in her gray eyes, which were particularly dazzling.
Very familiar...
She is not an adventurer who only specializes in Holy Shield, because after Will finished the class, he also liked to talk to her about other magic knowledge as a review.
So...
She saw it at a glance.
"No, this is a magic circle, and it is to enhance the output power... Be careful!"
"Su Bing Array·Anti-air."
The more powerful the magic, the more it needs to be charged, chanted, and magic circle, and it cannot be interrupted.
Boom——
The other side did not chant, of course, perhaps they sang something in the "dragon language" that they could not hear. In the sunset-like sky without the "sun", a dazzling white light suddenly burst out and spread to the entire eyeball.
The three people only heard the first explosion, because after that, there was only endless tinnitus in their ears.
How much power is this?
How many can be killed in one blow?
How hot is it?
And...
How long will it last?
Along with the explosion, Yi Aier only felt the rising temperature outside the shield held above his head.
It is still attacking with high-temperature breath!
In the dazzling white, Yi Aier tried her best to maintain the sky defense of the Su Bing array and the ice armor attached to her body.
She found that the opposite side of the fire dragon continued for a long time under such a high-intensity skill.
What kind of magic circle did it use?
And...
Why would a fire dragon draw a magic circle?
If Iel had not been in a hurry to cast magic for defense, she might have been able to block this move, but the opponent was very cunning and used this method to trick her skills.
I don't know how long it took, when Iel's hand holding the shield felt numb, she noticed that the continuous flames on the opposite side stopped.
She slowly put down the shield and looked around staggeringly.
In the bloody dusk, under the light that came from the environment instead of the sun, her current teammates lay.
"Mr. White, and Miss Emily..."
Half-opening her eyes, Yi Aier saw White, whose clothes were partially burned, falling to the ground, and Emily, who was also seriously injured, was helping him.
"I'm still injured... If... If I could realize it earlier..."
She fell to the ground, took out her badge with all her strength, and turned it upside down on the ground.
"Surrender... Surrender--"
In the current dungeon's final BOSS level, as long as you surrender like this, the BOSS will generally not attack again, and people from the Adventurer's Association will rescue them.
However, Yi Aier was very unwilling!
She slightly opened her eyes, trying to see the fire dragon in front of her clearly.
In the blurred vision, the fire dragon flapped its wings and landed, and she saw that the red figure almost blocked her entire vision.
——It seems that there is nothing special...
Close your eyes, open your eyes.
——In front of the stopped fire dragon, it seems... It seems that there is... There is a little girl?
Close your eyes, open your eyes.
——She was wearing a tattered brown robe, her long red hair was messy, and she was holding a branch in her hand. She didn't look like a person of this era, but a wild child in the wilderness?
Close your eyes, open your eyes.
——She stopped in front of him?
Close your eyes, open your eyes.
“Su Bing array, um… is this also ancient magic? It’s really rare…”
“I actually met a human who uses ancient magic like me.”
“Hmm, I… I remember it.”
Chapter 396 Waiting for Iai’s curtain call
“Flame Dragon Killer… This is all the money we can take out. I hope it can pay for your commission for this trip.”
Iai looked at White in front of him. His palms were wrapped in thick bandages, his head was also wrapped in bandages, and one side of his hair was shaved off.
He looked more haggard than before, but he still used his unbandaged hands that were calloused by the crossbow to push a thick bag of money in front of Iai.
Emily lowered her head and said nothing.
“If I didn’t succeed in killing the dragon, I can’t accept the money. Besides, I don’t have to accept the money because I’ve only met you once.”
Iai pushed the money back with a serious expression.
She negotiated like a mature independent adventurer.
"Besides, I didn't take the commission related to the Flame Dragon for money. We can try again, after all, this is also for your feet..."
However, facing the very persistent Iaier, White shook his head.
"This time... made me realize how close I was to death."
"... How close to death?"
White looked at his burned skin. Although the treatment for burns is very advanced now, burns that have burned off a layer of skin cannot be healed casually.
"It's a bit ridiculous. After this adventure, I actually think... maybe it's not bad to limp like this forever. At least... I'm still alive, not dead."
"White and I plan to find a secluded place, find a grassland, herd sheep, and occasionally hunt - you see his aim is not bad, right? Just spend the rest of our lives like this."
"..."
Iaier sat there, her arms were actually severely burned, and because she took most of the attacks, her injuries were even worse than the two people on the opposite side.
Now her arm is wrapped in thick bandages. In order to make the injury heal as soon as possible, she has been using ice to relieve the burning pain.
She held the shield tightly and did not let go. The hand was a little rubbed because of the long-term force.
But...
Even so, she is the only one who still wants to continue and wants to defeat "Al".
Sitting here, she seems to be the only one.
"I heard that the Ashes of the End is the grave of adventurers. After coming here once, I don't want to be an adventurer anymore. It's true."
"It seems that the fire dragon knows what adventurers should do better than us. Ahahaha... The pride of being an adventurer's life stops here."
"Well, both of you... Goodbye."
Yi Ai'er pushed the money back, watched this short "teammate" go, and lowered his hand.
"The pride of being an adventurer's life...?"
She sighed.
Such a battle may be a big blow to ordinary adventurers. The Flame Dragon of Ashes does have a lot of "ideas". No matter what kind of adventurer it faces, it can always come up with a unique way to deal with it.
It makes people feel that their years of accumulation are nothing to it.
This is why there is a good dungeon here, but in the end not many adventurers are willing to try it.
