Part-time Boss

Dragonkin are actually creatures with very high flame resistance, but even they were quickly ignited in the Flamestorm Spell, burning to a crisp. After a dozen seconds, when the flames finally dissipated, the number of dragonkin still standing did not exceed ten, and they were all critically wounded.

Mo Fei watched, dumbfounded. Holy crap, what kind of damage is this? Even the mobs in raid dungeons have attribute enhancements, with an average health over a thousand, and yet they were wiped out by a single skill. Are you kidding me? This thing only counts as five people? I think fifteen is more like it.

Mo Fei noticed that the Midnight Mage's weapon was a magic wand, topped with a huge red crystal sphere. He thought to himself that this wand was definitely a plot weapon! It could even be a divine artifact!

Just a single ultimate move had wiped out most of the dragonkin Military Governor's underlings. How were they supposed to fight now?

At this point, only Borax and seven or eight elite mobs had survived. However, what awaited them was the full firepower of two teams of archers. A few volleys of arrows later, the ground was littered with seven or eight bodies bristling with arrows.

Borax, sensing danger, quickly retreated while trying to summon more dragonkin soldiers to join the battle. But the Dawn Divine Sword did not give him a chance. His hand rubbed fiercely against the blade of the greatsword, igniting a crimson flame along the edge.

The Dragon Slayer's crimson flame!

He surged forward with increased speed, and when he was still seven or eight meters away from the BOSS, he suddenly leapt into the air with an overhead cleave.

Combat Technique—Fearless Strike!

With all his might, he brought down the Dragon Slaying Sword.

Borax hurriedly raised his banner spear to parry. With a crack, the sword actually broke the spear, and its momentum unabated, it deeply gashed Borax's shoulder, blood spurting wildly, -1789.

Borax let out a wail of pain and thrust the broken half of his spear towards his opponent, but the wielder of the Dawn Divine Sword pulled back after the slash, causing Borax to stagger and miss. Suddenly, he roared and spewed a mouthful of flames at his enemy. Some dragonkin, like dragons, could breathe fire, albeit much less powerfully; Borax had such an ability.

But the Dawn Divine Sword did not retreat but advanced instead, leaping up again and spinning in mid-air, with the Dragon Slaying Sword accelerating fiercely with the rotation.

Lion Slash!

The blade cleaved through the flames and struck Borax squarely on the head with a dull thud.

-3286!

The damage was one thing, but the fatal blow actually knocked Borax to the ground.

That's right, knocked down. The Dragon Slaying Sword, classified as a greatsword, with over two meters in length and nearly half a meter in width, required 50 points of strength just to lift. Commonly known as a "door panel" sword, it was slow to attack but came with a knockdown feature.

At that moment, as Borax struggled to rise, the Dawn Divine Sword aimed its blade at Borax's chest, charging—charging again—the blade's airstream swirling around it, forming a storm-like current. As Borax stood up, the Dawn Sword thrust out fiercely with a three-charged attack: Storm Assault!

With a squelch, the enormous blade pierced straight through the heart of the dragonkin Military Governor, skewering Borax.

-124835 (Critical Hit)!

Mo Fei doubted his own eyes for a moment at the sight of the massive red digits until Borax's huge corpse thudded to the ground. Only then did Mo Fei realize that the damage numbers were real. Do they have to be so exaggerated? Killed in three hits?

Granted, Borax, being of the Domination type, had much reduced personal strength, but he was still a 40-man raid dungeon's gatekeeper BOSS. You just chopped him down in a few strikes; who the hell is the real BOSS here?

[World Announcement: In the year 1437 of the Azure Sky Epoch, the Dawn Divine Sword has slain the dragonkin Military Governor Borax and the Dark Dragon Nest, and this event has been recorded in the Chronicles of the Azure Sky.]

Meanwhile, in the livestream chat room.

[Holy cow, epic one-hit BOSS kill.]

[That's too fake. Can a raid dungeon BOSS be one-shotted?]

[What kind of trash game is this, is kryptonite really that invincible?]

[You guys know nothing, that's called a Critical Hit, it requires high skill to pull off, a bunch of clueless idiots.]

[You're the idiot, your whole family are idiots, you can't even type correctly and have the gall to trash-talk others, are you in primary school?]

[My hubby looks so handsome at midnight!]

[Handsome my ass, it's the hunky guys like the Dawn Divine Sword who jump and cleave bosses that are handsome, okay? Look at those muscles, look at that door-sized greatsword, that's what I call a real man.]

[It's over, the dragon bro is in trouble now, how the hell are we gonna fight? The other guy is cheating, dealing 120,000 damage per strike, how much health does the dragon bro have? Only over 80,000, right? He can't withstand even one hit.]

[That's in the wild; in the dungeon, there are extra layers of protection, the final boss should have at least 200,000 health.]

[Dragon bro, might as well admit defeat and sign the Dragon Knight contract, we're all just trying to make a living, no shame in that.]

[Don't chicken out, let's do this! It's just a game, dragon bro, don't listen to that idiot before, just go for it, we'll all support you spiritually.]

Mo Fei didn't pay attention to the chaotic messages in the barrage; he was busy swiftly adjusting his strategy.

It seemed that the previous 'Sea of Monsters' tactical strategy was completely unfeasible—with the Midnight Mage's powerful AOE ability, summoning more minions would likely result in them being wiped out in one blow.

When it came down to just him standing alone as a commander, it would be impossible to fight.

He hesitated for a moment, then quickly thought of a second set of tactical combinations.

Shape Transformation: Flame Dragon + Summoning Black Dragonlings + Terrain Reform: Magma Eruption.

This tactical combination aimed for extreme AOE damage.

With the Flame Dragon Form, the power of Dragon Breath increased by 50%, and it came with a splash effect.

Four black dragonlings spraying explosive fireballs from the air could cause a large amount of explosive damage.

Together with the spewing magma on the ground, it would be a triple-threat of flame AOE damage.

Such high damage could be withstood by heroes, but not by adventurers.

Although the two opposing heroes were strong, if he used the flames to kill all the adventurers first, the remaining lonely heroes wouldn't stand a chance, and he would be able to fly. When the time came, he'd fly up and spew Dragon Breath; no matter how powerful the Dragon Slayer's Sword, he didn't believe they could fly up to hit him.

By then, he'd bleed them to death.

Thinking this, Mo Fei felt more stable in his heart.

After slaying the Dragon Military Governor, the group of adventurers quickly claimed all the loot from the Military Governor. Actually, there were no particularly great items. Mo Fei was used to tough times, how could he bear to give good equipment to his subordinates? They were all common drops generated by the system, the best one was the weapon in Borax's hands.

[Dragon Military Governor's War Banner (Long-Handled Weapon/Epic)]

Equipment Requirement: Strength 30, Intelligence 15.

Attack: 47-54.

Durability: 0/60.

Weapon Skill: Domination Aura - Grants a 10% health bonus to surrounding friendly units.

Item Description: The standard-issued weapon of the Black Dragon Legion's Dragon Military Governor, it can inspire the morale of friendly units around, issue commands, and is also a symbol of the authority of the Dragon Military Governors in the Black Dragon Legion.]

The Dawn Divine Sword nodded his head; this thing was quite useful for a lord player, it might come in handy in future national wars, so he casually passed it to a war priest in the team, and the team moved forward again.

Soon, the team arrived at the room of the second boss, the Obsidian Hall.

This pleasantly surprised the adventurers, as after entering the dungeon, they had spent a full hour clearing trash mobs and navigating the maze to reach the room of the first boss. They did not expect that once they started fighting bosses, there were hardly any minions between the two bosses.
