Absolute Death Game-Chapter 514 - 13: Humanoid Red Dragon

Everyone only felt the roar of an explosion as the Great Red Dragon crashed heavily onto the ground like a cosmic spaceship that had collided with disaster, sending up dust and debris like shockwaves sweeping around, instantly blurring everyone's vision so that nothing could be seen.

They immediately went into high alert, understanding that after the Red Dragon landed, it would transform into human form. With the field engulfed in mist, everyone feared an ambush at this moment. They had heard that no team hunting dragons had ever avoided heavy casualties, and the fact that their group hadn't suffered any was highly unnatural—it seemed the dragon was about to unleash its deadly moves.

In the chaos of their thoughts, the team didn't realize how their detailed intel had spared them much injury.

With their nerves on edge, they held their weapons at the ready, focusing intently on their surroundings; some of the melee fighters even formed a circle, back to back. However, as the smoke cleared, there was no sign of the anticipated sneak attack.

They looked at each other, confused, as the Red Dragon had completely disappeared from the field.

"Search, search quickly," Xiao Buli shouted. They couldn't let it escape; otherwise, all their efforts would have been for nothing.

Regaining their senses, everyone began to search frantically. Thankfully, due to the wide spread of their formation, they could cover a large area. Soon after, someone from the engineering team on higher ground shouted, "Look, there it is!"

Following the player's direction, they saw a faint red silhouette in the battlefield's sky—a middle-aged man dressed in dazzling red, with hair red as flames and eyes like flowing fire, looking down at the people below with a face full of anger.

Above his head, a pair of curved antlers were visible, which surely belonged to the Giant Red Dragon's human form.

Red Night (Crimson Flame Devil Dragon): "Paltry mortals, face my fury!"

For a major boss, he was surprisingly terse. In the next instant, the man turned into a red meteor, plummeting straight toward the ground.

The team members had already scattered apart, but even so, the impact wave still knocked over five players who were too slow to react, though they didn't lose much health.

After the clearing move, only a few stood ready to face the boss—Xiao Buli, He Suoju, Du Yibo, and Xiao Ge—none had retreated, instead they stood about a dozen meters from the boss, lined up in a cross formation.

At this time, the disparity in strength was evident. Against the boss's shockwave, Xiao Buli hadn't moved an inch, He Suoju used his peerless Qinggong to effortlessly flip and land after spinning in the air, Du Yibo had burrowed into the ground and emerged unscathed after the wave passed, while the ground where Xiao Ge stood was shielded by a huge shield, towering as tall as a person—the Weapon Controller could switch between weapons quickly, and the shield was one of them.

Although they had planned to attack the boss as a four-person team, Xiao Buli knew he was best suited to confront the boss and thus unsheathed his Ice Blade.

As the frosty blade emerged, drawing chilling air, the boss's attention turned to Xiao Buli. The damage from Mysterious Ice Slash had left a lasting impression on him.

"So it's you, die!"

The Red Dragon didn't hesitate; wielding his sword, he charged forward. His weapon was a Flowing Fire Longsword, emitting a scorching heat. The clash of the two swords—one red like fire, the other white like bone-chilling steel—with each pressed attack, was fierce.

The Red Night's swordmanship was formidable, not only as a Giant Dragon but also in human form. Xiao Buli was strong overall, but in terms of Swordsmanship, he was only slightly above average. After a few exchanges with the Red Dragon, he began to falter.

The Red Dragon boss's technique was not delicate; it was sheer ferocity. Considering the Dragon's immense strength attribute reaching a thousand points, even when compressed in human form to a hundred-something, it was not something Xiao Buli could counter with sheer force. Xiao Buli was forced to switch to Tai Chi Sword Skills, barely managing to deflect the blows.

Irked by the infuriatingly sticky Tai Chi technique, the Red Dragon suddenly switched tactics, from forceful slashes to lightning-fast thrusts. His agility was over two hundred and, unfettered by the transformation, the Red Dragon's sword struck repeatedly in rapid succession. Xiao Buli was unable to block in time; several hits landed, dealing tens of points of damage with each strike. Despite his defenses from Heart of the Earth and having equipped Magma Barricade in anticipation of close combat, he still lost nearly half his health points in a matter of seconds.

Scrambling to use the barricade and heal himself, Xiao Buli managed just in time for the other three to arrive.

The tide of the battle shifted instantly. He Suoju cried out, "Elder Xiao, leave it to me!" as he rushed with his treasured sword to the center of the fray.

Indeed, as the apprentice of the Sword God, He Suoju was unmatched, and even the Dragon Clan couldn't outclass him. His swordsmanship was watertight, periodically executing a Mystic Skill. He had mastered many sword techniques and Ultimate Skills, unleashing one powerful move after another. The Red Dragon was forced to handle them cautiously, thereby relieving some of the pressure.
