Absolute Death Game-Chapter 513 - 12 Battle of the Great Red Dragon_2
Even though the giant python had leveled up, its speed and reaction time were still not in the same league compared to the Red Dragon. It lost almost a thousand health points from one strike by the Red Dragon.
As the dragon and the python struggled against one another, Xiao Buli saw that the python had captured the aggro. He waved his hand, signaling the melee fighters to enter the fray, and at the same time, he waved to Li Shuren in the distance, hurriedly beginning to heal the giant python.
The melee group had been eagerly watching from the side. Though they felt fear, the surge of excitement was greater. They shouted to bolster their courage as they rushed towards the giant python.
After all, they were facing a member of the Dragon Clan, so even though their cries were thunderous, they stopped about ten meters away from the Red Dragon. To a man, they chose ranged attack skills. In no time, Sword Qi, flying axes, and energy waves were launched towards the Red Dragon. Engaged in fierce combat with the giant python, the Red Dragon suddenly found itself assaulted by this pesky group. Far from endearing, their incessant skill attacks seemed to greatly irritate it, and without a glance, it unleashed a breath of dragon fire in their direction.
A flash of red light passed, and the fighters all lost some health to varying degrees, but this incident placed their hearts securely back in their chests.
Although they were equipped with Fire Resistance Equipment, there wasn't much confidence in their hearts. However, the sudden Dragon Breath, at most, caused them to lose a few dozen health points. It appeared that as long as they were careful to dodge the Red Dragon's Ultimate Skills, the fire wouldn't be an issue. With their worries eased, they focused entirely on dealing damage.
Right then, five ballistae from the high ground unleashed their bolts with a howl, hitting the Red Dragon and reducing its health by over four thousand points.
This angered the Red Dragon, who let out a howl and attempted to take flight. Xiao Buli had anticipated this move and had already taken to the air himself while signaling the engineering team to open fire. Seeing the Red Dragon attempting to rise, he used the same move that had worked against the Little Red Dragon, bringing down a thunderstrike. It hit the Red Dragon squarely in the midsection, causing it to twist and turn and lose several hundred health points. Xiao Buli didn't hesitate, rising up again immediately after striking. By the time the Red Dragon managed to struggle to its feet, he had already returned to a safe distance. The Red Dragon vented all its fury on the giant python, causing its health points to plummet rapidly.
Meanwhile, due to the previous Dragon Roar, several players were influenced and started running back. Thankfully, at the start of the battle, Xiao Buli had handed out Exorcism Staffs to a few magic system players. The support group mages, who were also participating in the battle, quickly came to the rescue, pulling the affected players back into the fray.
This time, the support group, orchestrated by Xiao Buli, had the urgent task of running all over the battlefield, healing when possible, but mainly ensuring the players' survival was the priority.
"Boss, stop watching, I can't keep up!" Yi Xuan was vigorously healing the giant python, but after the Red Dragon had displayed its power, its Rage was high, and the python's health points rapidly declined. Yi Xuan was struggling to keep up.
Seeing the situation, Xiao Buli immediately joined Yi Xuan. The two of them furiously healed and barely managed to pull the giant python's health back from the brink.
The battle was chaotic yet orderly. The engineering team tried to fire as soon as their cooldowns ended. But after the recent volley, they had grown wiser. The five ballistae were divided into two groups, each firing every half minute. This way, the damage output remained the same within a minute, but the aggro was greatly reduced, lowering the risk.
The Red Dragon seemed to look down on the multitude of players who were like ants to it. Apart from occasionally breathing fire, it didn't use other skills. Thus, those with high Fire Resistance quickly showed their advantage. The few dozen health points lost after each Dragon Breath were quickly regained, and no one in the melee group fell behind.
The main target was the dark, giant Jiao on the field. Xiao Buli, seeing that the situation on the field had stabilized, focused on healing the giant Jiao, and together with Yi Xuan, they were barely maintaining the situation.
The battle's aggro remained firmly on the Lava Giant Jiao, and no further chaos ensued—P1 seemed a lot easier than anticipated.
However, the Great Red Dragon had much higher health regeneration and resistances than the Little Red Dragon, so after half an hour of back-and-forth battling, they only managed to reduce the Great Red Dragon's health by about half.
"Everyone, pay attention!" Xiao Buli roared. Before his words even faded, a roar from Red Night was heard, and its body immediately left the ground, soaring into the sky and circling above. The Giant Jiao tried to follow with its gaze, but it couldn't match the Red Dragon in might and could not reach the same altitude. It could only circle below, unable to grasp or affect the Red Dragon with any flames. Seeing they had entered P2, Xiao Buli knew there was no point in talking about aggro now. Whether the Giant Jiao was there or not didn't matter, so he simply sent the Lava Giant Jiao back to the Otherworldly Space.
"Give me an opening." With a loud shout from Xiao Buli, Mysterious Ice Slash was already firing towards the Red Dragon.
As Xiao Buli had already figured out the battle tactics beforehand, he knew this was when the Red Dragon would show its might. Everyone's hearts were in their throats as their bows immediately shot towards the Red Dragon, unleashing a barrage of skills in a chain. In a moment, arrows rained down—not from the sky, but shooting up towards it—as the Great Red Dragon endured the dense firepower while beginning to rain fire from above.
Suddenly, the sky was filled with giant fireballs continuously bombing downward, the air distorting from the intense heat of the flames.
For a brief period, everyone felt their computer screens drenched in red. Dragon Flame Descent, a full-screen AOE Ultimate Skill, enshrouded miles of the plain within its attack range, with no possibility of escape. All they could rely on were movement skills to dodge the downpouring fireballs to reduce the damage.
Fortunately, everyone had extremely high Fire Resistances and were also protected by the Five Elements Spirit Armor Technique and other defensive spells; generally, as long as they were not hit dead-on, their lives weren't in danger.
Moreover, as all players in the main team were quite skilled, the continuous maneuvering resulted in no casualties, though the original tight formation had now become utterly chaotic, and their attack coordination was disturbed.
Xiao Buli kept an eye on the BOSS's health points, occasionally healing nearby team members who were splashed with collateral damage. The rate of health loss was bearable, thanks mainly to all sorts of Fire Resistance equipment and elixirs; otherwise, a single Giant Fireball could instantly kill an average player under normal circumstances.
Still, everyone was finding the battle more and more challenging. Once the Great Red Dragon ascended into the sky, its endless fire assault continued for half an hour, and the people below returned fire for the same duration. Fortunately, while the dragon constantly attacked, its healing ability seemed greatly reduced compared to when it was on the ground; otherwise, the players didn't know if they could have lasted until the end of P2.
Finally, as the health points dropped close to 20%, the Great Red Dragon's movements in the sky slowed as if it could no longer keep itself airborne. Xiao Buli thought it was time. With a Cloud Thunder Leap, he soared into the clouds, right above the Great Red Dragon, and a Heavenly Thunder Drop came crashing down.

This Thunder Strike, like the final straw breaking the camel's back, caused the Red Dragon's health to plummet below 20% in an instant. (To be continued.
