"So, what's taking you so long? Which one is it?" asked the dragon impatiently as if it wanted nothing more than to leave the place.
"What do you mean?"
"It was you who told me that you wanted me to help you kill someone before leaving. So, which one is he? Whom do you want to get rid of?"
As if he had been suddenly enlightened by the sea dragon's words, Blackbeard hurriedly pointed towards Zach who was still standing at the front of his people seemingly unafraid of the dragon in front of him. Although his brows were furrowed slightly, he wasn't as worried as the rest of his people. The sea dragon was nothing more than a glorified sea snake in his eyes. He had seen many fierce beasts ever since he came to this world and this sea dragon seemed to be the cut piece from the same cloth. Every single one of them was just as impossible as this one based on the norms of his previous world.
The dragon received the signal and marked its target with its fearsome gaze that was full of cunning and absolute confidence in its strength.
In an attempt to grant Blackbeard's request, the gigantic sea dragon launched a relentless assault on Zach with astonishing agility and grace, defying its massive size. Like a coiled serpent striking its prey, the sea dragon weaved through the air, its movements fluid and swift, which caught Zach off guard.
Zach hadn't expected such a giant creature to be so nimble when it came to battle. It was not only blessed with a strong body as the legends claimed it had but was also extremely adept and experienced at combat. It twisted its body and coiled in on itself like a snake to avoid Zach's retaliation.
Zach's calm facade faltered for the first time since the battle began, like a master illusionist momentarily losing control of his tricks.
The sea dragon's powerful jaws snapped at Zach, its razor-sharp teeth inches away from sinking into his body that was as soft as tofu, like a predator closing in on its weak and helpless prey.
Zach managed to narrowly dodge the attack using all his strength and wit but the sound of that powerful jaw snapping shut beside him, traumatized him for life. It was truly a narrow escape.
Zach knew that the sea dragon wasn't something he could take on his own. He needed a party to raid such a powerful boss monster. As such, he touched his right ear in order to determine if the earpiece was still there.
Finding the earpiece where it should have been, he felt relieved. He spoke a few words before shifting his wandering attention back to the sea dragon.
The few words proved to be the harbingers of doom as the soldiers all around him began to take action and made the island shore a fiery hell in the world of the living.
Armored tanks led the charge with their heavy onslaught while RPGs and other weapons followed. The drones under Zach's command began to fire everything they had towards the sea dragon. Explosion after explosion took place on its body but there was no sign of it feeling anything. It looked quite comfortable as if it was getting a massage in a spa.
The soldiers, in their desperation, increased the intensity of their barrage. Explosions erupted around the sea dragon, creating a tempest of chaos and destruction, like a storm of destruction unleashed upon an unsuspecting world.
Even the increased intensity of the assault left no marks on the tough as a diamond skin of the sea dragon. Although its body looked fishy, each of the scales on its body offered a high enough defense for it to run amok in the world without a care. Not just anyone was capable of taking it down. At the very least several S rank mages had to be gathered together to raid a monster like this.
As it advanced towards Zach with an unstoppable momentum, the soldiers grew worried about the well being of their supreme leader. A group of soldiers took out several grenades in their hands hoping to throw some into the mouth of the dragon since the outer skin of the beast was so tough that even tanks had no effect. They were hoping for the insides of the beast to be different.
Alas, they never got the chance to even pull the pin. The sea dragon was already raging and didn't want to waste any more time. it directly shoved these people away using its massive body, its scales struck the soldiers away like kites with broken strings as they fell far off from the battlefield.
With its massive head lunging in Zach's direction, there was no way for him to escape even by utilizing everything in his arsenal.
Christina had been muttering incantations the moment the sea dragon began its attack. Just before the sea dragon was about to reach Zach, she finally completed the spell she had been working on and a light barrier formed around Zach's body. although the barrier looked frail and easily penetrated, it wasn't so in reality. After all, it had taken Christina a lot of mana and casting time to conjure up the shield. Since it was intended to save Zach's life, there was no way Christina could have done it half-heartedly.
The sea dragon crashed into the barrier complacently but even its tough skin and immeasurable strength were unable to shake it in the slightest.
This gave Zach some room to breathe as he began to think of a possible solution in the time window that Christina had obtained for him. He didn't believe that the sea dragon was unbeatable. A game with an unbeatable boss didn't exist.
Therefore, he wracked his brains to think of a solution to this puzzle.
While Zach could think leisurely in the safety of the light shield, the sea dragon grew more and more angry with each passing second that it was unable to penetrate the light shield.
When it finally couldn't take it any longer, its facial features twisted into a snarl as it opened its mouth like a crocodile when it is about to take a big bite. The scene looked funny but no one spectating it had the urge to laugh. Because inside those powerful jaws, a fiery light began to sparkle as soon as the dragon opened its mouth.
Although the others had yet to guess what was going to happen since the sea dragon stopped moving all of a sudden. Some even wondered if the sea dragon had given up and was thinking whether to retreat or not.
Zach on the other hand knew what was coming so he pulled Christina out of the way.
Moments later a fiery beam of fire gushed out from the sea dragon's mouth. It was the dragon's breath attack which was probably the ultimate attack of any dragon type monster he had ever come across, in games obviously.
While Zach wasn't surprised, Christina couldn't break out of her stupor. This dragon was too incredible in her eyes, not because of its strength but because of the pure elemental mana it had fired. Even the purest mana that could be found in the world naturally could not be compared with one tenth of the purity of this mana beam that the dragon had fired on a whim.
The light barrier made up of crude but compressed elemental mana couldn't stand a chance against the massive dragon breath. The mana beam took a few seconds to complete scatter the barrier in a burst of light, but by then Zach and Christina had already escaped the impact radius of the sea dragon's attack.
Zach had no intention to retreat even after having witnessed the prowess of the sea dragon first hand. He still had some means that he had yet to utilize. If advanced weaponry and technology couldn't take on the magical might of the sea dragon, the only thing he had to do was to bring in even more technologically advanced weaponry that might give the sea dragon a run for its money.
He took out the lightsaber from his arsenal and the glow of its red blade caused the dragon to feel a little bit of danger even though he didn't know what it was.
