Even though Immortal was confident in his current strength, especially when he now had his secondary combat class, he still did not dare to underestimate Arthur. This man with a solid reputation lived up to his name.
He could also feel that Arthur seemed to be hiding something. After fighting against him in different games, Immortal knew that this Dragon God prepared a card or two under the sleeve to deal with him.
Having that in mind, Immortal ordered the white dragon to halt its advance and focused on Arthur. He waited for the latter to reach his range of attack before throwing a spell one after another, trying to hinder his opponent's advance.
On the other hand, Arthur skillfully controlled his golden dragon in the air, showcasing his dragon-riding abilities. If it was earlier, then he would be a complete amateur when it came to this, but after the struggles that he when through during the Dragon's Challenge, he became more skilled at aerial maneuvers and dragon riding skills.
These attempts of stopping his advance from Immortal were nothing in front of him. Arthur could easily dodge them with ease.
Immortal immediately noticed the strange flying maneuvers that Arthur was displaying. No matter what he used, all of the were either being blocked or dodged perfectly. His shadow spears, dark arrows, abysmal blades, and bone spears missed, not able to touch even a strand of hair of Arthur.
When he looked closely, he discovered that Arthur was employing some strange movements in the air as if he was executing a series of movement techniques on the ground.
"Flight Technique?" muttered Immortal before showing a sinister smile. "So what? I just crush it with raw strength!"
After that, he ordered the white dragon under him to make its move and attack Arthur and the golden dragon.
Roar!
The white dragon raised its front paw and swung its claws forward without any warning.
Swoosh!
The swipe came a little too fast that it almost caught Arthur and his golden dragon. Fortunately, he was able to foresee it with the help of his innate talent.
He pulled the special reins attached to the mouth of his golden dragon, responding to the incoming claws. He urged the dragon to fly alongside the trajectory of the swiping claws while moving upwards before rolling the air, barely dodging the attack.
Arthur did not stop in there as Immortal sent a barrage of spells in his direction, taking advantage of the awkward position that he had after the previous dodging maneuver.
After avoiding the spells and attacks that the white dragon sent to him, Arthur, mounted on his golden dragon, finally arrived at a desirable distance and started his counterattack.
He did not have a lot of range attacks in his arsenal when riding his pet dragon, especially when most of the skills from the 'Dragon Cavalier' secondary class specialized in aerial melee, but he at least had a couple of spells that he could rely on. They were the skills that he rarely used since it was not his style.
He thought that it would be a waste. They were skills from his main class, the 'Dragon Knight', after all. Who would have thought that he would be using it only when he gained his secondary combat class?
He formed a group of lightning spears in golden color before sending them toward Immortal one after another. In terms of a number of range attacks, Arthur would definitely be at disadvantage. Moreover, Immortal was also protected by the white dragon.
Fortunately, his golden dragon pet also had a set of spells on its own. Even though it was a dragon that specialized in close-quarter combat, as a dragon, it still possessed a couple of spells such as Dragon's Breath, Meteor Rain, and other similar spells.
On top of this, his golden dragon was nimble enough to circle around while executing a series of complex maneuvers. With such a tactic, Arthur could constantly harass Immortal, even though, he couldn't get nearby.
Arthur needed to continue doing this until he built up enough energy for his plan. He know that the longer he waited, the deeper the white dragon fell into Immortal's control. But he had to do it since he could not summon Archon, the Chaos Dragon, in normal circumstances.
He also used up his Dragon's Challenged, and it had a long cooldown, so he could only come up with another plan.
Fortunately, Archon agreed with the deal that he proposed, so there was nothing to worry about. Though, he sacrificed a very important item just to make that deal.
This was an additional reason why Arthur was doing his best. He had to make sure to make up for the loss that he suffered. He will definitely snatch that white dragon from Immortal's hands.
Having that in mind, Arthur intensified his assault. He and his golden dragon might lose in terms of strength and wide-range attack compared to Immortal and the white dragon, but the mobility that they had in the air was unquestionably better. Moreover, the bond between Arthur and his pet dragon was far greater than their opponents, so their coordination was definitely superior.
Immortal might have a powerful dragon on his side, but when it came to understanding dragons, Arthur was without a doubt ahead compared to anyone. Just like Leonard had said, Arthur was a dragon fanatic, so he would definitely be a cut above Immortal when it came to this battle.
Immortal might have a better chance if he was fighting normally and relied on his usual style. But he made a mistake in choosing this method when fighting Arthur. It was even better if he left the white dragon to cause havoc on its own. With its overwhelming power, Shin and the rest would definitely be in deep trouble. They might even ask for some assistance from Lycan and Duke Bellion.
Unfortunately, blinded by his newly found strength, Immortal overlooked the fact that his opponent was very familiar with his methods.
He might have a powerful dragon on his side, but it would still be useless if he could not fully bring out its real power.
...
On the other side of the battlefield, the empowered Undying Army now reached the other members of the group and started clashing against the Legion of Chaotic Sun.
At the first collision, the difference between the two armies of undead monsters immediately surfaced. And the former army noticeably had the upper hand. Not only they had an overwhelming advantage when it came to numbers, but their overall quality was also way beyond the latter.
The benefits that the Undying Army gained after Immortal got his secondary combat class promoted their overall strength to a whole other level.
Fortunately, the rest of the group was there to support Chaotic Luck and his Legion of Chaotic Sun.
Charlotte, Ravier, and Ember, bombarded the opposing side with their large-scale spells, killing a huge number of skeleton soldiers and other undead monsters.
Standing at the forefront of the group, Owen was standing firmly like an immovable object. He guarded the frontline very well, not letting a single undead get near the rest.
S.Tigris and Seven were standing on his left and right side respectively, covering the angles that Owen could not cover. They were also cutting down the skeleton monsters in a steady manner.
With the help of the people from the backline, these three were showcasing great battle prowess. They didn't have to worry about their health bars since they had two reliable healers at the back.
Even if they were an army of undead monsters with an average strength of chieftain-rank and lord-rank monsters, the trio were steadily holding their ground. After accompanying these gods within their group and working together with them, it would be impossible for them not to show any significant growth.
Forget about Seven, who was always accompanying the current number one player of the game, and Owen who was constantly being tortured by the gods within his team, even S.Tigris, who was already an expert in his own right was growing at a rapid pace.
On the other hand, Ara and Alucard had a much simple job compared to the rest. They were only responsible for guarding the mages and healers of their group as well as Chaotic Luck, who was controlling his Solaris Soldiers.
But since they were currently in the middle of the Legion of the Chaotic Sun, the two marksmen did not have to constantly survey their surroundings. And with such a lot of free hands on their side, they could spare the frontline some help.
Naturally, the one who had the most critical role in this battle was Chaotic Luck once again. Without the help of his legion of special undead, the group would have a much harder time.
But despite his knowledge and past experiences, he was still getting overwhelmed by the opposing forces even if he was employing the strategies and battle formations that Shin had passed down to him.
The size of the opposing army of undead was still a little too much for him.
Fortunately, Black Hand was pretty experienced in this area. With his special position within the Wing's Alliance and as someone who ranked in the 'Best Strategist List' of the game, this kind of large-scale battle was one of his main fortes.
He assisted Chaotic Luck in how to move his forces to constantly repel the opposing side. Despite the overwhelming difference in size and quality, their side did not show any kind of weakness and steadily hold their ground.
Even though the main factor was the three powerful mages of their group, who were blasting those undead monsters with their spells, and Shin and the others, who were wreaking havoc at the center of the opposing ranks, the crafty strategies that Black Hand had still played a big role.
The state of the battle continued to be in a deadlock until the unique undead monsters of Immortal finally made their moves.
