VRMMO: The Unrivaled

Chapter 1439: Seven Sacred Dragons

"Slow down! Make sure you can hold your ground first before you push deeper!" Lin Yixin commanded her players while swinging the Purple Spirit Sword at the enemy.

Pa!

Gui Guzi was forced to land on the rampart after his Dark Crystal Dragon lost all of its mount tenacity. However, he still had 40% HP or so, and after he cast Practicing Medicine he instantly returned to 90% HP. At the same time, he summoned a Dragonscale Beast, climbed onto its back and resumed fighting as if he was a Dragonlight Cavalryman. With or without a dragon, the Undying Knight was still a fearsome fighter!

The symbols of Chengying and Hanguang glowed beneath He Yi’s feet as she tossed flames into the enemy horde.

Gradually, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, Snowy Cathaya and Blazing Hot Lips were able to take control of around 200 yards to 300 yards of the wall and greatly diminish the enemy’s firepower. Freezing, slowing and stunning skills were easily the MVP of this battle. Our equipment advantage played a huge role as well.

……

On the ground, more Dragonlight Cavalrymen were escorting the Holy Mages and Dragonlight Archers toward the wall. Now that the Dark Archers were greatly suppressed, they were able to reach the foot of the wall with minimal losses.

"Get up the wall now!" He Yi shouted.

Very soon, Beiming Xue, Lian Xin, Murong Mingyue, Moon Dew, Pure Love and more appeared on the wall. About 500 priests climbed up the walls and began showering everyone with their milky light of healing. The Dragonlight Cavalry also formed battle lines on their own to defend against the Dark Archers’ attacks. Everything was progressing as ideally as we could’ve hoped for.

"Roar roar…"

Right as we thought that we had this in the bag, a deafening roar suddenly blasted against our bodies. The next thing we knew, a huge, black dragon swooped down from the sky and clung to the inner edge of the wall for balance. It was so powerful that much of the bricks beneath its talons shattered like sand. It slowly expanded its meaty wings and stared at us with its grayish brown, merciless eyes.

Puchi!

The dragon abruptly opened its mouth and devoured a dozen or so Dark Archers. The sound of crunching bones had never felt as scary as it was now. Still staring at us, it abruptly took off to the sky and raised its head high. At the same time, draconic flames began swelling in its throat!

I hurriedly shouted, "All magic knights, Holy Shield Protection now! Dragon’s breath!"

Whoosh!

The dragon breath struck nearly everything within its area of effect, one-shotting a dozen or so Dragonlight Cavalry who reacted too late and dealing massive damage to the rest. Even I had lost over 900k HP from the dragon breath. Just how powerful was the skill?

I scanned the dragon with Dark Pupils and shared its stat screen in our party channel—

Black Dragon Vitas of the Seven Sacred Dragons (Sovereign Rank Boss)

Level: 315

Attack: 60,000~85,500

Defense: 110,000

HP: 590,000,000

Skills: Dragon Flame, Dragon Armor Protection, Blessed Holy Armor, Eternal Night

Introduction: The Seven Sacred Dragons were the seven elders of the ancient dragon race. These Holy Giant Dragons possess tremendous power and were once hailed as the rulers of the continent. However, the passage of time dilutes everything, and their fame grew more and more obscure until they completely faded from everyone’s memories. In reality, the Seven Sacred Dragons had succumbed to the Purgatory Ruler Lin Na’s evil powers and were transformed into his puppets. He had enlarged the wickedness in their hearts so much that all they desire now is to devour all creation.

……

"Seven Sacred Dragons!?"

Li Chengfeng swore, "Fuck! I thought the dragons were Ancient Immortal Rank at most, but Sovereign Rank? Are the rest of the dragons guarding Sainthelm Ruins Sovereign Rank as well??"

I looked at the other dragons still circling the sky and shuddered. Unfortunately, Li Chengfeng was completely right. All Seven Sacred Dragons were present at Sainthelm Ruins, and we most likely had to kill them all if we wished to venture deeper and seek out the Purgatory Ruler.

Although the Seven Sacred Dragons could drop the Seventy-two Ghost Armaments or even the Twelve Divine Armaments, they also represented some of the highest destructive power on this continent. No one could claim that they could survive the Seven Sacred Dragons long enough to see a Ghost Armament!

Whoosh!

The Chill of the Nine Provinces burned brightly as I fired Burning Blade Slash into the air. After the flaming sword aura just barely grazed the black dragon’s talons and seized its threat, I yelled, "Sis, heal me!"

Swhoosh!

542,878!

It was a critical heal. Very good!

I crouched lower and abruptly pushed myself off the walls. When I used Fusion Armor, I was imbued with nearly all of the Ancient Divine Dragon’s properties. For example, I could jump at least ten times higher than the average player. I shot through the air like an arrow and arrived within a meter of the black dragon’s merciless eyes in just the blink of an eye. Without hesitation, I stabbed its nostril and injected it with Purple Frost Concentration!

Puchi!

The boss's Defense dropped by 17.1%, and thank goodness for that. Otherwise, literally no one could penetrate 110k Defense!

As if on cue, Beiming Xue’s Bone Eroding Arrow struck the Black Dragon Vitas as well. In total, its Defense was now reduced by 22.4%. Now that the boss only had 85k Defense or so, our first-rate Dragonlight Archers should be able to penetrate it.

"What are you guys waiting for? Chain-stun it with Shock Arrows already!" I shouted and broke the archers out of their daydream. They began loosing their arrows and dealing between 2,000 to 10,000 damage per hit. It wasn’t much, but it was certainly better than nothing.

Purple Frost Concentration was a skill that attracted a LOT of aggro. Furious, Black Dragon Vitas immediately shook me off its nose and attempted to devour me in midair.

Activating Heavenly River Transformation and manipulating my Domain to the best of my abilities, I managed to air dash a couple of times and barely avoided a gruesome fate. The black dragon’s teeth had nearly caught my cloak, and the sound of its teeth snapping together had left me with a full body of cold sweat. I couldn’t even imagine how much it would have hurt if I had been struck by it.

Swhoosh!

I canceled Heavenly River Transformation after returning to the walls because I was running out of Divine Energy Points. That didn’t mean I had no ways of continuing my assault though. First, I summoned my dragon soul energy and tossed the Chill of the Nine Provinces at the boss's right leg, dealing over 450k damage with Coiling Dragon Revolution. Then, I pushed myself off an embrasure with all my might, caught my returning blade, and executed Burning Blade Slash + Thousand Ice Slash combo at its torso as I fell past it.

Utterly infuriated, the black dragon took a swipe at me and made me feel like my chest was being torn apart. Then, it unleashed a dragon flame so huge that the players outside the walls looked at it in shock. I had no time for that, however. Black Dragon Vitas was swinging its left claw at me like how you would swipe a fly out of the air!

I raised the Chill of the Nine Provinces and attempted to Guard the attack!

Bang!

Yeah, that didn’t work…

I crashed against the wall so hard that it cracked. Contrary to its size and body shape, the black dragon was unnaturally agile. In fact, it was only now that three damage numbers rose from my head—

1,127,774!

972,676!

1,216,363!

More than half of my HP was gone just like that. One more hit, and I would be—

A black shadow swelled in my vision once more, and I hurriedly rolled away just in time to dodge a swipe that destroyed a small section of the wall. That definitely would’ve killed me!

Bang bang bang…

Thankfully, reinforcements finally arrived. Four dragon knights attacked the boss together and temporarily pulled its attention away from me.

"Lu Chen, over here!" Murong Mingyue beckoned me from afar.

I hurriedly ran over to her and the priests. Less than 10 seconds later, I regained over 4 million HP.

Not wasting even a second, I kicked off the wall once more and stabbed the boss in the stomach. I had to keep attacking the boss because no one else could withstand its attacks for long. Losing Lin Yixin, He Yi, Li Chengfeng or Gui Guzi would be a terrible loss for all of us.

……

"Big bro…"

On the rampart, Beiming Xue pointed toward the ruined city and said, "Look, the mobs are mobilizing again. Those new enemies look real scary and… disgusting. So disgusting…"

I glanced at the direction she was pointing at and felt my heart drop. A bunch of scrawny undead tamers had appeared into view, and each of them was holding a horrible creature with a red chain. The creature’s body was shaped like a lizard’s, but its rotten head looked like that of a human. When it roared, a rotten tongue at least dozens of centimeters long would flick all over the place. The creature was called ‘Lizardman’, and it possessed a skill called Poison Splash. It was obviously good at inflicting AoE damage. The tamers were pouring out from every entrance of the city.

While blocking the black dragon’s talons, I shouted, "Chaos Moon, muster some men and keep the two stairs leading up to our section of the wall blocked! Don’t allow those undead tamers and their pets to get up the walls, or our defense line will surely crumble!"

"Mn!"

Chaos Moon nodded before looking at Xu Yang and High Fighting Spirits. "You two, follow me!"

Xu Yang’s battle judgment was inferior to Chaos Moon’s, but he knew that his influence was greater. That was why he raised the Omnislash and ordered, "Brothers and sisters, follow me to block those ugly bastards at the stairs!"

……

"Roar roar…"

Maybe it was because Xu Yang’s unintentional taunt was too insulting, but every tamer in the city suddenly roared their lungs out before charging in our direction.

Chaos Moon uttered through gritted teeth, "OMG, bro, there is a time and place to taunt your enemies. Also, where do you get the confidence to call someone an ugly bastard when you look like one yourself?"

Xu Yang: "..."

……

I must admit that I was very worried at that moment. It was highly unlikely that we could handle both the Seven Sacred Dragons and the undead tamer legion at once!

Thankfully, Cyan Earth City’s Breeze and Rain and Burning City’s Tear Stain had finally managed to get their own players on the walls. Warsky Alliance, Candle Dragon, Purple Lily and more Chinese guilds had achieved the same progress as well. At the very least, we wouldn’t be focused by all of the Seven Sacred Dragons. Considering the intensity of the battle, it was hard to believe that the curtains had just been drawn.
