369-Another ancient dragon




The hierarchical master is looking pretty egregious this time.
'I looked more egregious at the end of my life. Maybe it's because I'm humanoid.


 The mothers are looking at the images on the first floor while they soothe their children, who bury their faces in the air as if they were afraid of seeing the slaughtered old dragon, which at first was just a bone, change. While listening to the wives of such wealthy people, Tsutomu suppressed his emotions as if he was about to scream.


(That's definitely not the blazing old dragon! (It's a completely different thing!)


 Although the slaughtered dragons that Tsutomu knows can regenerate, they never regenerate from blood vessels and organs in detail like that. ''Live Dungeon!'' They are undead lords that attack seekers seeking life, and reduce the durability of their weapons and armor through corrosion and spread powerful poisons. Its life-seeking characteristics can be used, so jobs with recovery and revival skills are an effective opponent.

 However, although this world's fiery old dragon behaved the same in the beginning, after its heart was regenerated, it began to attack using blood control. The regenerated heart and other organs are likely to be regenerated as well as the heart that was regenerated in the open as if to ask it to attack.

 I just want to create a giant monster. With those development comments, "Live Dungeon! A golem-shaped monster called O (O), which is a raid boss that was implemented in The features of the blazing old dragon on the God's Table were very similar to it.

 As a countermeasure against CERO, the blood is shown as magic and the organs are shown as machines, but at first, O, which only has an outer shell, gradually creates mechanical organs by spreading its magic power. And as the organs increased, their characteristics and attack patterns increased as well, so players had to assess the priority of destroying the organs and how to respond to each assembled PT.

 O, which was implemented a short time after the release of the back dungeon, was a regular event popular among intermediate players, and Tsutomu had experienced attacking it with his friends. Although he knew the characteristics and attack patterns of the game, he had never dreamed of using it at the 100th level.


(Why would they even change the performance of the body here! (Even the end of the world was only about adding new attack patterns!


 In any other hierarchy, that might still have been acceptable. A mutant shell club, a fire dragon that I've heard rumors about with signs of mutation recently. There's nothing wrong with that area. But why of all people would they do such a thing at the hundredth level? Tsutomu was about to look down as if he was going to have his head in his hands at the changes in the burning old dragon that could only be considered as harassment, but he couldn't take his eyes off of it, so he managed to look at the divine table.

 But other than Tsutomu, the rest of the clan members were delighted to see the new hierarchical lord's characteristics. Some of the spectators were drawn back by the rawness of it, but the labyrinth maniacs and others had their eyes sparkling. And besides the heart, the liver, lungs and other parts of the body were being generated, adding the characteristics of an ancient dragon.

 When the liver was produced, its toxic decomposition function made it less poisonous and its regeneration speed increased, and after the lungs were produced, the speed of the blazing old dragon was greatly increased. And although the PT of the Infinite Circle managed to deal with it without dying, it had to take a back seat.


''If Diniel and Leleia can't break it even after attacking it that much... the durability of the heart seems to be moderate.
I don't know about the other organs. Is there anyone who can help me?
'I know some people, but I'm seeing patients right now. But I'd better make some kind of documentation or get in touch with him.
d*mn it, I need a picture.


 Since the types of internal organs were not that widespread in cultivation, there were few among the labyrinth maniacs who could identify the organs produced by the blazing old dragon and talk about their roles in this place.


''.........''
Hanna, take over!
Yes, sir!


 While his attack pattern of manipulating blood to generate his heart, lungs, and liver was also increased, Xeno was forced to replace his equipment after receiving a breath of corrosion that increased his range. Furthermore, instead of him covering the lower part of his face completely rotting away with his hands, Hanna was forced to buy time against the seared old dragon, whose new attack methods had increased due to the generation of organs.

 Due to the nature of the dodging tank, which has a high probability of dying due to its low VIT once it hits the attack, Hanna is inevitably unstable against a first-time opponent. The crowd roared as she stepped forward with a Combat Cry.

 Amy, who had been watching the first table, whispered to herself, her white tail wagging.


'It's all right, I'm calm,'
I don't know. He can die quickly sometimes.
'When Hannah dies, she's usually weirdly nervous. But I think she'll be fine like that.


 When Amy accompanied Hannah as she paid off her debts, she discovered that she was also surprisingly petulant. And vulnerable to excessive tension. If there was one tension, for example, when the other tank was dead or when she was using the fist of the demon stream with an unfamiliar demon stone, it was often a matter of impatience and death.


'I'm sure Corina-chan would have chosen to take that into account, and I think it's the right thing to put out here. Even if you force Xeno to observe your movements here, that thing will still change.
Okay. So what do you think, Tsutomu?
''Well I'm sure you're aware of a certain amount of risk, and as far as who's going to die, Corina seems to know better than I do. That's not what I mean by putting it out here.


 Tsutomu, who was feeling slightly sick at the sight of the corrosive bracelets, exhaled as he looked at Corina, who was pre-turning the skill, to switch it over.


'I'm buying time~'


 There were some things he wanted to try before he heard a lot about the organ from Corina, but Hannah first tried to buy time for Xeno to recover. The auto-tracking blood spear was destroyed with countbuster and used to gain combo numbers, while not taking her gaze off the blazing old dragon.

 Although his blood control attack pattern had increased, his previous movement had not changed. When the Glazed Ancient Dragon did some action, its blood vessels would be damaged, and it would use the blood that flowed from there to start attacking. Hanna paid attention to that previous movement to make sure that the attack wouldn't come unexpectedly.

 Hanna, who has overwhelming aerial maneuverability and kinetic vision if she is not caught by surprise, would not be able to snatch a monotonous attack that turns blood into a weapon and charges straight at her. She single-handedly avoids many red weapons and destroys pursuing spears with knuckle-equipped fists and kicks, and the crowd goes wild at the sight of her.


'Heart for later?'
''Well yes. I wish I could have destroyed them, but it's no use. Let's switch to those two organs.


 The regeneration speed is slow, but the heart that is attacking is unlikely to be destroyed. Although there was a backward glance at stopping in the middle after coming this far, considering the lack of effect, Leleia switched the target of the attack to the lungs, which would have led to the strengthening of the Blazing Old Dragon's breath.


''Alright! We're good to go! Hannah! I'm ready to take over! Mr. Leleia! Mr. Diniel. Good call! That breath was so fast and nasty! If possible, it would help to have it destroyed! Corrina, you're going to continue to restore support!


 Xeno, who has recovered to the point of being able to speak due to a series of healing wishes being fulfilled, raises his voice with authority and instructs the entire PT to reassess its movements. Hannah laughs amusedly at the voice that still passes well without a loudspeaker, and Diniel shoots an arrow with a disgusted look on his face.


''Then we're going to attack at once!


 After learning of Zeno's return, Hanna destroyed the blood spear and used the number of combos she had accumulated, plus additional magic stones, as she headed for the heart of the burning old dragon. The blood clad weapons fly in to shoot Hanna to kill her, but she uses her blue wings to avoid them while flying well.


''Count Full Buster! And it's a heart massage!


 Hannah dived in front of the beating heart and unleashed a powerful blow that combined the skill and the fist of the magic flow, as if it were a stakeout. The impact, which matched the pulsating timing as taught by Corina, caused the heart of the seared old dragon to stop as if it were paralyzed. Instantly, the momentum of the blood running through his body weakened and the blood weapons that were chasing Hannah melted and fell to the ground.


(What's that?)


 Seeing this phenomenon through the divine table, Tsutomu couldn't help but mutter inwardly: if O also destroyed its heart, it would not be able to control blood for a while, and its strength would be drastically reduced. But destroying that heart was nearly impossible in the early stages of the game, so even if he could do it, it was at the end of the game.

 However, with Hannah's powerful strike and Korina's idea, the basic attack of the Blazing Old Dragon ceased to function, albeit temporarily. The crowd was so excited by the blow that changed the situation of the battle that even Hanna herself was surprised when she unleashed it.


'Amazing! You can get through the first time with this one, can't you!
Hannah, that's just too weird.
It's really strong when it works.
(Sure, that was awesome. It was amazing, but it didn't destroy anything. At this rate, every organ in his body will regenerate. That would make things pretty ugly, so we'd have to destroy the liver, which is capable of regeneration, first.


 Hannah's blow certainly surprised me, and its practicality is definitely there. But if we assume that O's characteristics are inherited by the Searing Old Dragon as it is, it's very unpalatable to regenerate all the organs.


''So the heart was just too hard?''


 Then Diniel and Leleia's activities caused the blazing old dragon to temporarily go into cardiopulmonary arrest. However, in the meantime, the regeneration of the other organs themselves had progressed. When the pancreas, stomach, and small intestines have regenerated, black blood begins to gather in the areas where regeneration should not proceed most.


(If the brain regenerates in a complete state, there's no more competition. No.....)


 But there was no way the first time Corina and the others could understand that; they had momentum as PTs, and so did the crowd. Even the clan members may have had some concerns about the organs regenerating one by one, but they probably think that they are not in a serious situation.


''........Huh?''


 Things changed suddenly, right after the brain regenerated. The two black spheres turned completely towards Korina as black blood began to gather in the eye pits to follow the brain.


''Combat Cry! Taunting.


 It was more than enough, Xeno and Hannah had certainly taken the hate. But the blazing old dragon that had regenerated a huge brain was finally looking at Korina with his regenerated bloodshot eyeballs for sure. Regardless of who attacked him and hit his skills, the object of his hatred would not be dislodged.


''Ah........''


 Finally, Corina was trapped against the wall and didn't have time to scream as her entire body was crushed by a paw. From then on, no matter what the tank did, the attacker would be targeted no matter what the tank did. He was so quick to manipulate the blood by the already functioning heart that he suspected it was comparable to a rabid dragon. Still, Diniel managed to only sacrifice his left hand, but he couldn't draw his bow anymore. Leleia died after taking a decent amount of corrosion breath.

 And Diniel, who was persistently surviving, was put on the back burner, and the blazing old dragon aimed at Xeno first. Zeno, the slowest among them, was crushed to death by the blazing old dragon, who had acquired the ability to think and reason to reject even hate.

 After that, Hannah also fought a good fight on her own, but after the blood spear attack was snatched away and her wings stopped functioning, she died in a daze. Finally, only Diniel was left with the loss of his left arm, which caused him to lose the ability to attack.

 Although the wound was closed by the green potion, he was unable to regain his trampled left arm. After retrieving his PT member's belongings by himself, he leapt onto the battered dragon's body with an arrow of lightning in his right hand and boldly attacked it, but in the end, he was swept away by the massive power of the dragon, hitting the wall of the ancient castle with his entire body hard and killing it.


(Isn't it too unfair that he's allowed to crush the healers because he's a raid boss?


 Tsutomu listened to the disappointed crowd as he embraced such impressions. And while trying not to make eye contact with Amy, who was crying in frustration as she looked at the divine table, she began to change her mind about the measures against the blazing old dragon.
