Chapter 246: Garces Red Lotus Annihilation Battle (Part 2!)

I thought this red dragon only had three tricks: burning, high temperature, and piercing damage from its claws, but I didn't expect it to have the shock-type damage of "Dragon Roar". Its attack methods are so diverse. Hamlet's Shield, Hamlet's Shield, how can we compete with it if this continues!

Just as Garces took a deep breath and was about to repeat the trick, Sanita arrived in time and cast a DND second-ring rogue spell [Silence]. He could only open his mouth in vain but could not make any sound, let alone sound waves.

Garces closed his mouth, gave a satisfied smile in the direction of the Sani Tower, and then sprinted directly towards Rusalka.

Without thinking, Rusalka slid sideways to avoid the dragon's breath, then bent down and rolled on the spot to avoid the double fire claws. This was a set of unexplained combos that had never changed with Garces. No matter how dumb Rusalka was, she could already predict it as skillfully as if she was reading instructions.

Hydra took the opportunity to strike the opponent's outstretched wings with a sword, cutting off a section of it, while Phoenix hid in the distance and threw spikes made of shadows towards this side, forcing Garces to hold up the fire shield at all times to resist damage and consume his strength.

Seeing that Rusalka wanted to attack, Garces' eyes burst into red-gold light, and an indescribable terrifying pressure radiated from his body.

The legs of the two elves and Sanita suddenly went limp, and the three of them knelt on the ground.

But Hydra was tougher. The light around him flashed, and a golden rune popped out. He continued to swing his sword without any hindrance, but was blocked by Garces' dragon claws.

Phoenix in the distance reacted very quickly and hid in the shadow plane just before Garces unleashed his pressure, escaping the disaster.

Rusalka: [Affected by Legendary Action: Dragon's Might, make a saving throw, DC 26, fail, and you become Paralyzed.]

Huh? I, Rusalka, have all the abnormal immunity resistances, but I failed the immunity? Are you kidding me? I'm playing dirty like this!

But a man's knees are made of gold. The wizard brother was a coward because he was not good enough. If I, Rusalka, was also a coward, wouldn't my 500 points be wasted?

He used [Eel Transformer] to eat the Dragon Might debuff directly, and without thinking too much about the extra ring position, he enchanted his greatsword with [Furious Slash], letting the white light wrap around the sword.

[Furious Slash: The next melee weapon attack that hits the target deals an additional 1d6 points of psychic damage. If the target is a creature, it must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the saving throw fails, the target creature will continue to be frightened of you until the spell ends.]

The giant sword forcibly exchanged blows with the opponent's dragon claws and the air blade that came from nowhere. The golden Holy Slash and the white Wrathful Slash both took effect, but apart from the blood splattering on Garces' severed arm that splashed Rusalka's face again, it seemed that he was not affected by any negative effects.

Rusalka was once again put into a "near death" state, but this time his sacrifice was worth it. Although the control failed to keep up, the noble template skills took effect at this time.

【Revenge shock takes effect.】

Garces only felt that after he hit Rusalka, the corpse in front of him, which had been clearly cut in half by the wind blade, suddenly exuded a strong sense of fear that made his soul feel frozen.

Although he quickly overcame this feeling, Hydra took advantage of his immobility and pierced his chest with the glowing Ashbringer from behind.

Holy light flickered, and Hydra drew out the giant sword in a dashing manner. Then he raised his shield and used the Sun Guardian to block the splashing hot blood. The Sun Guardian was worthy of being a legendary equipment. After absorbing the blood, it not only did not melt like ordinary weapons, but the holy light on it even became brighter.

The people around who had just been knocked down by the dragon's might also got up again. The two elves were still frightened by the pressure that seemed to crush them at the biological level. One on the left and one on the right, they moved closer to the direction of the Suni Tower, trying to find a sense of security, as if the Suni Tower had not just fallen to the ground - the performance of the Suni Tower during this period had made them psychologically dependent on it, and they almost felt that the Suni Tower was omnipotent.

The injured Garces touched his chest and could clearly see the huge hole on the other side. He spread his tattered wings behind him and exhaled slowly, "It's really good! I haven't felt this pain in a long time. This feels like fighting."

After saying that, he took out a fiery red round bead from the void and swallowed it directly into his stomach.

The dragon heart in his chest began to beat even louder than before, and white smoke rose from the wounds on his body as they began to repair at an unimaginable speed.

This was Rusalka's ninth resurrection. He now had 45 HP and wind resistance. However, after seeing Garces's recovery speed, he knew that time was short and the task was heavy. No tactics were important at this moment. The right way was to pick up the sword and chop him to fill the damage until his recovery speed could not keep up!

There were no slogans, no instructions. At the same time, the Black Mist Dagger, the Ashbringer, the Magic Greatsword, the Sigh of the God of Nature, the Vine Entanglement, the Disintegration, the Space Locking Orb, attacks came from six directions at the same time, blocking the possibility of teleportation, pursuing the maximum firepower output that would kill with one blow, and pointed directly at Garces!

Garces raised the corners of his mouth and whispered, "Goddess of Fortune, please allow me to be greedy for once."

After Sanita understood his whisper, his face changed drastically and he shouted, "No! Stop it! Run!"

Rusalka and Phoenix were more decisive. When they heard Sanita's order, they carried it out without any hesitation. The former braked halfway and turned back, while the latter even used his life-saving measures.

However, Hydra failed to hold back while he was stunned, and slashed Garces' body with a knife. Of course, there was no time to stop the several spells, and they all hit Garces, whose body was glowing with a strange golden coin light.

All the attacks were swallowed up by the light like a stone sinking into the sea. Then, Garces raised his head and shouted loudly: "Zahne um Zahne, Blut um Blut (Tooth for a tooth, blood for blood)!"

Sanita grabbed the two elves who were still in a daze and pulled them behind him.

The next moment, the golden light around Garces suddenly split into four rays, three of which shot towards the direction of Sani Tower and the elves, and one rushed straight towards Hydra.

Hydra pulled back, but found that the light was following her closely at an incredibly fast speed, and was about to hit her. She could only stop and raise her shield to try to block it.

But Rusalka was even faster. He rushed towards Hydra and pushed her away, using his body to block the light for her. The next moment, his body and the clam shell shield turned into ashes. This was obviously the effect of the "dissociation technique".

Meanwhile, Sanita took the initiative to rush forward and withstood three beams of light for the two trembling elves. His outer robes instantly turned to ash, leaving him completely naked, save for a spatial pocket and a pile of magic props that had clattered to the ground. He disregarded his own image and, just as the poisoning status of Nature's Sigh was about to take effect, used his innate ability [You Do This!] on Rusalka, directly transferring the subsequent poisoning status to Rusalka for verification.

Alijie and Sana asked nervously, "Teacher Sanitieta, are you okay?"

Sanitieta's tone was as calm as ever, making them breathe a sigh of relief: "I'm still alive, so everything is fine."

Having said that, he didn't have the skills to control his true emotions like Rusalka did. He couldn't stop his heartbeat that seemed to be about to jump out of his chest. He looked at his health bar that had suddenly "increased a little" and the locked ring positions at levels 6, 5, and 4, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with lingering fear.

Although according to convention, I really shouldn't block for these two elves, on the one hand, this situation happened suddenly, they didn't make any mistakes, and they don't need to bear the consequences; on the other hand, I only have one fourth ring left anyway, so it's locked. Considering the battle situation and combat effectiveness, it should be worthwhile to use a fourth ring to exchange for their lives. At least their role is definitely greater than that of the fourth ring.

Garces looked at the freezing silence around him and couldn't help but laugh and applaud. "How dangerous! Human magic is indeed more sinister and vicious. Even so, can regeneration be achieved?"

"Hello, yes."

The flying ashes gradually condensed and were restored along with the azure armor. After the last defeat of the demon lord, Rusalka was rarely penniless and once again appeared in a vacuum wearing only a level three armor.

This time, the clamshell shield, which had been with him for so long and had become his emblem, seemed content.

Garces' smile froze and his eyes gradually became unfriendly.

"I'm a little tired of your physique. I remember I once met a mermaid. She was just like you, she wouldn't die no matter how hard she was cut, and she refused to tell me where her daughter was hiding. But after I burned every bit of her flesh and blood to ashes, she didn't come back to life. I thought she was dead, but seeing you today made me wonder if I had been fooled by her little tricks. When I think about it..."

Garces' entire body burned with golden flames as he roared at Rusalka, "You sea creatures are truly abominable and disgusting creatures! No matter how hard you try, you won't die. You should be completely burned to ashes and wiped out from this world!"

Of course, Hydra and Phoenix would not sit idly by and watch Garces attack Rusalka. When they were about to attack, Garces waved his hand and opened a portal. A group of disgusting "blood-red giant cockroaches" actually flew out from it with a buzzing flap of wings. At Garces' command, they pounced directly on everyone.

Sanita: "Be careful, these are the 'Dragon Cockroaches', creatures of Dragon Island! They are natural vassal creatures of the dragon race. They usually feed on the scales shed by giant dragons, but they are omnivorous creatures with extremely strong vitality, sharp mouthparts, and their blood is somewhat poisonous!"

Sanita immediately laid out the magic metal and began drawing runes in the air: (I need some time to perform my spell.)

Rusalka knew what his brothers meant and shouted directly to Hydra and Phoenix, "You go deal with those cockroaches and protect the Sani Tower. I'll deal with this dragon!"

Phoenix always obeys orders, and after Hydra suffered a loss, he finally obeyed. He obediently evacuated to the side of the Sanita Tower and began to cooperate with the two elves to clean up the group of giant red cockroaches.

Garces didn't seem to care about that either. He was determined to kill Rusalka completely. After Rusalka luxuriously cast a Thunder Slash on herself after her resurrection, she found that the awakening aura did not seem to be activated.

Weird? I have active skills?

He glanced at the system prompt in the lower right corner and found that after resurrection, there was indeed one more prompt popping up than before.

[Since the requirements of "Nearly Death ≥ 10 times in the same battle" and "Consecutive Deaths to the Same Target ≥ 4 times" are met, the skill [Anti-Pearl Warrior (10 points)] is available.]

Rusalka couldn't quite recall what this strange skill was. She'd chosen the name Rusalka, and her last name was Pearl Tears, so how could there be a skill on her card that allowed her to fight against herself?

Oh, never mind. It hindered my awakening, so it's only worth ten points. It's probably the same status as the shield spell, which is eaten in the dog bowl. It doesn't matter if it's wasted, so just use it.

The moment you choose to use it, the world seems to stand still. Only the sound of a dice spinning can be heard, and finally the dust settles.

Soon, the second dice was thrown.

When the dice stopped spinning, Rusalka seemed to hear a woman's dissatisfied voice and the sound of pounding the table, but the next second everything in the world returned to normal. However, from Rusalka's perspective, the system was refreshing the screen frantically.

A flame enveloped him and then quickly bloomed, as if celebrating his rebirth.

【The points were successfully matched.】

What's the point of striving? Never mind. Can success be a bad thing?

Temporary loss of abilities: [Flexibility] [Feature Conversion] [Shield] [Free Phantom Step] [Awakening Aura]

No, success can't really be a bad thing! Is this the same dice used in Call of Cthulhu to roll inspiration against terrifying creatures? (Note: If this inspiration succeeds, you'll sense an unknown terrifying presence and your sanity will be deducted. If it fails, you'll be a piece of wood without inspiration, and nothing will happen.)

System, you're such a piece of shit! What kind of a shitty ability is this? You're not just adding something I've never even touched to my head just to trick me into forgetting it, are you? You banned my Awakening Aura and the Dual Giant Weapon Master perk. Without Holy Slash and greatsword damage, what's the point of me playing? Are you just relying on mana bursts to puff up this dragon?

Temporarily acquired abilities: [True Flame Dragon Heart] [Flame Dragon Breath] [Soaring Dragon Wings] [Flame Immunity] [Life Deconstruction Destruction Breath]

Hmm? Something's changed! Stop attacking the system! Observe whether you need to switch to filial piety mode.

Suddenly, I felt like there was a pair of "controllable" things behind me. My heart in my chest felt warm, and the thick phlegm in my throat became hot. I even felt like I could spit out a big mouthful of Rusalka at any time. I became a little confused.

What has this [Anti-Pearl Warrior] turned into? Am I still a human being?

But he was not the only one who was confused. It could be said that except for those ruthless cockroaches, all the intelligent creatures present were dumbfounded after seeing Rusalka reborn in the flames - Rusalka had a pair of dragon wings on her back that were exactly the same as Garces!

Sanitieta was a little overwhelmed, because he had no idea what Rusalka had chosen. He just felt that his Warlock + Dragonborn buffs, on Earth, were probably "an armed helicopter with black skin", and he seemed to be an enemy of the world.

Bro, what on earth did you write?

Chapter 247: Garces Red Lotus Annihilation Battle (End)

Compared to dealing with a giant dragon that has transformed into a human form and has endless tricks up its sleeve, it is obviously much easier to deal with these giant cockroaches that can only spit out small fires and crawl all over the ground.

As we all know, the little cockroach is powerful because its maximum speed is about equal to that of the Shinkansen, but now these big red things have sacrificed the advantage of extremely high speed in exchange for a harder scale-like shell. In front of a group of extraordinary people whose levels are probably not lower than level 10, it is equivalent to weakening themselves in disguise.

Shana pulled the bow steadily, and a spiral armor-piercing arrow with wind enchantment shot directly into the head of a cockroach, passing through its entire body and killing it in one blow.

Although she was very afraid of large insects, once an insect grew beyond a certain size limit and was subjectively excluded from her concept of "insects," she was no longer afraid at all. Instead, she looked in Rusalka's direction and muttered in disbelief, "Lord Pearl Tear, is he a hybrid of a mermaid and a dragon?"

Sanita firmly denied it: "Of course not, he is a human!"

"But he has wings and immortality, and he's a paladin. He married a member of the Flin tribe, and he has a human archmage under his command."

Alice had just finished casting a spell, summoning a thorn trap from somewhere to the ground to hinder the cockroaches' movement. While preparing her spell, she took the opportunity to join the conversation, counting on her fingers and muttering. Suddenly, her eyes lit up: "Do you think he still has some of our elven blood? The Queen will definitely be very happy. We can become a family."

Sanitta thought that Alice's little brain was incredible. Even if Rusalka was an elf, could it be that the Elf Queen was also crazy? She said, "I'm sorry, I killed the wrong person," and Rusalka replied, "It's okay, I forgive you, because we are a family!", and then everyone happily reunited to make dumplings together?

"How is that possible?" Shana continued to draw her bowstring. Just as she was about to draw the dagger at her waist to kill the dragon cockroach that had broken through, Phoenix's black mist spikes pierced it and sucked it dry. However, she naturally did not see the problem from Sanita's perspective: "His parents are a mermaid and a dragon, how can there be an elf?"

Sanitita said helplessly, "No, I told you he's a human being, a genuine human being."

......

Silence is the burning stronghold of Kalbes tonight.

"Okay." The two elves, who didn't know that he was a time traveler, turned their heads away with a look that clearly said "I don't believe it", but since Sanita said so, they pretended not to know.

Actually, Sanita was also quite curious, as he couldn't see Rusalka's skill prompts. Anyway, the dragon cockroaches were only about CR5 in challenge level. Besides their tougher shells and their larger numbers, they had no special features. Their fire-breathing range was only five meters. To them, they were just trash, easily killed. A few tricks would kill one. (Brother, what's going on? Why did you turn into a dragon?)

Of course, Rusalka didn't understand either, but at this moment, he saw another prompt pop up on the system, but this prompt was very different. It was a twisted, ugly handwritten text that looked like ants crawling, and it was very, very small. Rusalka had to use the text magnification function of the PL channel to see it clearly.

[Note to my DIY skill: While this thing is definitely going to fail, I'm a real genius! I really can't figure out the DM's thinking. I can't even imagine what I could possibly face that I can't defeat with this card. Its demonic properties kill small enemies and restore shields, its true damage Holy Slash in single combat makes the opponent a fool, and its superb immunity turns the fight into a simple, straightforward slashing match. However, I'm willing to believe that the DM's malice is limitless. Since this card succeeds, it means there must be some monster designed to target me. Protecting against everything means being vulnerable to nothing. I can't possibly guess what this monster's abilities are, and the DM can always dynamically adjust the monster's abilities based on my cards, so gambling is pointless.]

If I can't beat him, I'll just join him! The fact that he's been able to kill me so many times in a row means his build must be stronger. I'm just gonna roll the dice and fight! This is the fairest fight ever. If I lose, I'll immediately self-destruct and surrender, and if I win, I'll just copy his build and use it against him! As the saying goes, the most determined warrior against the Pearl still uses the Pearl Tears Lament deck! Didn't the legendary Demon Hunter Illidan also use Demonic Might?

Seeing this note, Rusalka suddenly understood and felt only gratitude in her heart.

Thank you for secretly hiding a bomb in my card in the beverage store that summer.

When I think about it this way, I really feel like I am defying fate. I simply deserve to be thrown here by the DM. If I were the one leading the team, I would want to use the "Lucky Time Travel Device" to send such a troublemaker to the world of Warhammer 40K and torture him severely.

Thank you for not sending me to Terra, DM. When I get back, I won’t punch you twice, I’ll just punch you once.

"You...are actually a Dragonborn?!"

Others were just surprised by Rusalka's transformation, but the most shocked one was Garces. As dragons, they could sense each other's breath directly. Garces could feel a dragon heart magic source from Rusalka's chest that was almost identical to his own.

But he is a noble pure-blooded true dragon, a unique existence in the world, the only Red Dragon Baron, and the strongest dragon on Dragon Island!

He is a dragonborn, why should he be worthy of the same purity as me!

Just as Rusalka didn't know Garces's pleasure point, his anger point was also different from that of ordinary people. Rusalka only made a small change to his structure, and he exploded with all his strength in rage. The dragon heart in his chest beat as fast as a war drum, and his figure's speed increased rapidly, almost turning into a red afterimage as he came to Rusalka, and then grabbed his chest, determined to crush this heart that was almost exactly the same as the one in his chest.

However, this grab that dealt 80 damage failed to penetrate Rusalka's armor. Rusalka flapped his wings and flew with wings for the first time in his life. He was used to the "flying technique" and used his mind to control the flight trajectory and body posture, so he couldn't find the balance trick at all. He rushed around in the air without any track, but for a moment he made Garces, who was chasing him, unable to figure out the trajectory and missed several times in a row.

But there was no need for Garces to make a move. Rusalka did a bicycle kick in the air and hit the ground headfirst, leaving a mark on the ground with his head. As a result, Garces slapped him with a claw and turned him 180 degrees in the air. Not only was the Hamlet Shield immune to damage, but his body was also turned rightside up.

This self-aware, ridiculous battle scene made Rusalka, despite her own grotesque appearance, burst into laughter. "No, this flying thing is too difficult. Don't hit me yet, let me laugh for a while. 20 health points restored per second, 120-foot flight speed, is this the power of the Dragon Clan? Do any of your other races have such a strong build?"

After saying that, Rusalka opened her mouth and spit out a breath of flaming dragon at him. After that, she remembered that the other party was also immune to fire, so she stopped the dragon breath and instead spat a mouthful of saliva at him to disgust him.

Garces waved his hand to disperse the dragon's breath, and of course his saliva evaporated along with it. However, he was indeed completely infuriated by Rusalka's extremely frivolous attitude after using the same power as him after transformation. So he changed back to his original form directly in the air, indicating that he no longer intended to tease these people and have fun with it, but really wanted to start to destroy them seriously.

"You could have lived longer, but I lost my patience. Disappear, you filthy, vile, despicable, disgusting half-blood. Dying at the hands of my true dragon magic is the only honor you will have in this life!"

He didn't intend to wait any longer until the "energy" needed for Rusalka's revival was exhausted, so he directly launched his most powerful dragon language magic downwards: "Lebende Organismen zerlegen (Deconstruction of Living Organisms)"

(The red dragon symbolizes not only fire and destruction, but also life and rebirth. The German translation seems to mean "dissection of a living organism." This is probably a "large disintegration" type of force field damage, or it could be something else. In short, it's a big deal.)

Sanitta quickly launched a Level 3 counterspell, but it failed. He tutted in the private chat and was about to tell his plan when Rusalka interrupted him and said confidently: (Brother, don't worry, just watch me show you.)

Then Sanita silently killed the last blood-red cockroach with an ice arrow and watched Rusalka's performance quietly.

Rusalka picked up a dirty silver coin from the dirt nearby. It must have been dropped by some unlucky soldier while fleeing. She placed the coin flat on top of the bent fingers of her right hand, then gently flipped it upwards with the nail of her thumb and shouted, "Oulewa..."

Garces opened his mouth, and a magic circle bloomed in his mouth, shooting out an orange-red light and rushing towards Rusalka, whose coin had just left her fingers.

"Damn, there's no time for people to get through CG, just be born!"

Rusalka activated the [Life Deconstruction Destruction Breath] without hesitation, and felt a surge in her throat. She retched and vomited out an identical magic circle, and the laser beam collided with Garces's ray.

At this moment, he really wanted to say, "Since ancient times, the left side has always lost, except for that pig Dyna," but unfortunately he couldn't do it. When this skill was released, he couldn't move a single finger on his body, and could only maintain this open-mouthed posture.

For dragon form, the breath is pretty cool.

In human form, the visual experience can only be described as very subtle.
