Chapter 493: The Dark Dragoon

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Grrrooowll!

Qin Ruo, Judge, Dinosaurcerer, and Fateless held their breaths as they were overwhelmed by the deafening dreadful growl of death and terror. As its growl echoed around the plaza, their eyes opened wide as they panted anxiously.

Several veterans in the group seemed to have realized what was about to come and felt a sense of dismay and vigilance. As Qin Ruo and his friends were stunned by the loud monstrous roar, an enormous shadow emerged from the night. And the shadow inched closer and closer... finally they saw “it”—gigantic black wings, menacing claws, nostrils that breathed out black boiling steam... a chilling terror went down everyone’s spine as they saw the head of a... dragon.

Goddamnit...

It was a Colossal Dragon!

To everyone’s shock, the mount of the Dark Knight Commander was a Colossal Dragon, one that was even more menacing that Tier 5 Megaboss...

As everyone was overwhelmed by the dragon, Qin Ruo saw something that sent a chill down his spine—there was a small humanoid silhouette on the Colossal Dragon’s back equipped with a set of black full armor. It was Rakoff.

This was something out of everyone’s expectations—they did not expect the Tier 6 Dark Knight Commander to also be a “Dark Dragoon”.

And more importantly, they were not able to use their flight abilities when facing off this Tier 6 flying Megaboss because if they were to activate their Divinities and spread out their wings, the Liches that were guarding the walls would flock to them and make the battle even more complicated.

Qin Ruo was expecting the worse...

“Judge! Dino!”

“Clear the mobs!”

As he yelled across the area, an enormous amount of Explosive Venomspiders flooded out of the roof, showering on the surviving Dark Knights...

Boom!! Boom!!

Black eerie-looking spiders, flocking one after another, self-destructed non-stop in the streets—sending the Dark Knights into endless engulfing flames.

This was different from what Dinosaurcerer was doing earlier—this was an actual genocidal cleansing. Since the Dark Knight Commander was not really a normal knight and possessed the ability to fly, they did not have to “hold off” the mobs anymore. Leaving them alive would make it harder for them to focus on their Boss Battle... if they could wipe all of these Dark Knights off from the streets, they could then concentrate on their main target—Rakoff.

As the “rain” of Explosive Venomspiders gave the Dark Knight hordes hell, Judge raised his shield and charged at the final crimson “leader” Dark Knight.

Qin Ruo, on the other hand, reactivated his Darkfrost Shield and locked his eyes on the gigantic black dragon and Dark Knight Commander.

Majestic Hero and the others rushed to his side, “Good job, Qin Ruo. Now you guys go clear out the Dark Knight horde. I’ll hold off Dark Knight Commander.”

As he approached Qin Ruo, Pigasus, who was floating by Majestic Hero’s side, suddenly beamed off rays of Holy Light...

“Morph!”

As Majestic Hero barked out his order, the cartoon-like Pigasus let out a funny cry and stretched out his cute plump wings and turned them into a pair of actual Angelic Wings. His plump meaty body suddenly bloated outward rapidly and then in a burst of white light, he morphed into an actual Angel.

Majestic Hero then quickly held the Angel, as he stood stately with his enormous white wings.

Then with a flap of his wings, the “Angel-fied” Pigasus brought Majestic Hero jetting into the sky.

Opposite of them in the air, the Dark Knight Commander glared at them coldly—the menacing Dragon and locked onto the human invaders in front of him.

The moment the “Angel” appeared, Rakoff immediately shifted his attention to the Holy Angelic creature. Being an Underworld creature himself, Holy-type creatures were their lifelong nemesis. Therefore, it was quite understandable that an Angel that was beaming white holy rays would attract his attention.

However, Rakoff was calm and remained hovering in place. It seemed that he was not about to allow himself to be provoked by just one Angel.

He saw a gush of electric-type magic surging around the Angel—the human Electromancer, who was clutching the Angel’s waist, was charging up his electric energy.

It was Majestic Hero!

Even though he was merely a Tier 5 human Warrior, the powerful electricity that surged from him was able to seed danger in the Dark Knight Commander’s mind.

It was this sense of danger that made him shove off the impulse to dash toward the Angel the moment he lay his eyes on him.

As he curiously gazed at the violet electric balls that were forming around Majestic Hero’s hands, Rakoff hesitated.

This was exactly what Majestic Hero wanted.

He did not go airborne to take on Rakoff alone. He wanted to buy his teammates some time.

The longer Rakoff stayed there and did nothing, the more time he could buy for his brethren down on the ground. As for the violet electricity that was spilling out of his hands, it was only a little manipulation from Elementalism. So long as he did not allow the electricity to hasten into a Black Hole, there was no need to hurl these offensive energy at Rakoff. And by doing so, he could keep Rakoff busy while only expending a minimal amount of MP.

Qin Ruo and the others were going out in full force, not letting Majestic Hero down.

As the Dark Knight horde was wounded by Dinosaurcerer’s Explosive Venomspiders, Qin Ruo and his gang, not wasting any time, quickly swept a series of attacks at these injured Underworld knights.

***

The Dark Knights were defeated one by one on the east side of the plaza. As his underlings were decimated by the human players on the ground, the Dark Knight Commander “Rakoff” was still hesitatingly observing Majestic Hero and his Angel. It would seem that the death of the Dark Knight hordes had little effect on him—perhaps indifferent toward the concept of “death”, or not afraid of “death” itself.

However, Qin Ruo was certain...

This “Rakoff” was much stronger than Galbis.

In his first encounter with Galbis, it gave off a hint of daunting challenge to Qin Ruo.

However, this Dark Knight Commander was different. Even though the Colossal Dragon emitted an impending sense of dread to everyone in the area, Rakoff himself did not appear to give out similar tension. He did not seem dangerous—even less dangerous than the Liches or the Tier 5 Dark Knights.

Yet, Qin Ruo felt that this “Rakoff” was the most menacing Boss compared to what he had to face thus far. Rakoff gave off a lingering unpredictability, a scent of enigmatic danger loomed around him.

This made Qin Ruo uneasy and anxious.

Even when dealing with the Lich alone, Qin Ruo was never this anxious.

Homme Fatale, after looking away from Rakoff and his Colossal Dragon, saw the uneasiness in Qin Ruo’s eyes. “You... What are you scared of?”

“This Tier 6 Megaboss... we can’t send in our Warriors and we, the Elementalists, can’t use our Divinities. Yet, Rakoff has a pet that can fly, so he is not intimidated by Tier 5 AoE Magic Attacks. And if my hunch is correct, that black Colossal Dragon could dish out long-ranged attacks... this Dark Knight Commander is the strongest monster I’ve seen in my entire life.”

“... You’re right. But...”

Violet Orchid reached Qin Ruo from behind, “But this is not the time to think about this. We should not pay attention to the advantages that the enemies possess. If we don’t stop probing, we should be able to find a weakness. Then we’ll devise a plan around that and defeat him. That’s all we have to do! It doesn’t matter how strong Rakoff is... there is only one “Rakoff” after all. If we could kill him right now right here, he’ll be gone.”

Exactly!

All they needed to do was to find his weakness. If they could find his weakness and focus on just that, no matter how strong Rakoff was, his downfall would still be inevitable.

Rakoff was just a Tier 6 Megaboss.

If he could take down the Cyclops Commander Galbis alone, now with the help of Violet Orchid, Homme Fatale, Majestic Hero, Black God, and other capable members in the team, what was stopping him from defeating a sole single Dark Knight Commander?

There were twenty members here. If the eleven-member Executors, led by Remorseless Warrior, could pull this off, there was no way they could not do the same in this situation.

A glimmer of hope returned to Qin Ruo’s eyes.

He was able to pull himself together with the help of Violet Orchid’s wise words. He looked at Rakoff and his black Colossal Dragon for a few moments and then looked at Majestic Hero. Qin Ruo quickly sent a private message to him, “I’ve got an easy plan to take out Rakoff.”

“What’s the plan?” Majestic Hero was also thinking hard to come up with a plan to defeat the Dark Knight Commander. His initial plan would only work if Rakoff was a rider on land but this all changed the moment they realized he was a Dark Dragon. Now that Qin Ruo said he had a plan, Majestic Hero instinctively beamed with joy.

“Say it. What’s the plan?”

***

After hearing Qin Ruo’s plan, Majestic Hero and everyone in the team were overjoyed.

“Outstanding!”

“That’s a great plan. Everyone get moving!”

As Majestic Hero saw his teammates were all ready and standing by in the streets, he hugged his Angel’s waist and charged at Rakoff at full speed!

Roaarr!

The black dragon let out an angry earsplitting roar!

Then, with a strong sweep of its wings, the dragon breathed a jet of black burning Dragon Breath at Majestic Hero!

However!

The moment the dragon dished out its attack, Majestic Hero put his palms together and two fully charged electric balls were fused together.

!!!

In the instance the electric balls met, a terrifying amount of Mana surged in the air!

“Black Hole!”

As Qin Ruo and his teammates felt a tremor in the ground, a strong pulse of Mana was felt in the air...

The Dragon’s Breath from Rakoff’s Colossal Dragon turned into small tiny Elemental particles and was absorbed into the Black Hole.

With the help of the strong gravitational effects of the Black Hole, the great enormous Colossal Dragon gradually inched toward Majestic Hero.
