Bone Dragon, a Demigod Level Undead Creature, Risk Level: High Risk.
The poison breath of the Bone Dragon possesses extremely high lethality; however, its high risk does not primarily stem from its attack power, but from its abnormal airborne mobility.
Since its entire skeleton is engraved with arrays, the Bone Dragon can glide and fly through the air regardless of gravity. This three-dimensional mobility makes it very difficult to be hit by attacks from the ground.
This results in ground units that lack the ability to fly becoming easy targets for the Bone Dragon's breath, and they can only passively take hits.
On the other hand, like Skeletons and Ghosts, Bone Dragons are also a type of incomplete Extraordinary Creatures without an independent will, so there must be a Manipulator on their back.
In other words, when you battle a Bone Dragon, you have not one, but two enemies.
Many newcomers tend to overlook this, managing with great difficulty to approach the Bone Dragon to launch an attack, only to be ambushed and trapped by the cooperation of the Manipulator and the Bone Dragon—players have probably been duped the most in this regard, and the NPC mercenaries also have a hard time. Hardly finding a Transcendent who can fly to distract, and then getting ambushed, losing a man... Such frustrations could almost drive one mad.
However, this time the Bone Dragon faced The Azure Longsword, a peculiar team where seven out of nine members can fly, causing them almost immediately to fall into a siege themselves.
The Demigod Lord, Plague Scorpion, looked around. The Elf Banshee undoubtedly posed the greatest threat, for only a Demigod's attack could jeopardize her Body Conceptualization.
As for the others... Plague Scorpion's gaze casually swept over several approaching from a distance in the air.
Although all of them could fly, they hadn't reached the Demigod Rank and were probably just here to distract.
Too bad, for a Transcendent of the Plague Law, what they fear the least is being ganged up on and restrained.
Suddenly, Plague Scorpion brought her palms together, expelling a vast expanse of pale green cloud from her mouth, rapidly spreading in all directions.
Plague Law: Spore Cloud, filled with a large number of virulent pathogens. The more one inhales in the short term, the greater the damage to the body, and it is a persistent bleeding Boss Aura with considerable lethality.
Those who landed on the Bone Dragon's back hurriedly scattered to avoid, but their bodies involuntarily began to ache—they had still inhaled a small amount of the pathogens.
The pale green cloud continued to expand and spread, and the emanations from the Plague Scorpion in the center seemed inexhaustible.
At this rate, the indefensible Plague damage would become more severe, and its effective range would expand even further until there was no place left to stand on the Bone Dragon's back!
Nora quickly flew upwards, her Evolution Law symbols faintly visible in her pupils.
Cell Proliferation!
The radiance of Life IV Sequential Ability and Cell Proliferation, like ropes, connected to everyone, surging Life Force into their bodies, continually repairing and suppressing the damage caused by the Plague.
Meanwhile, Eleanor spread her golden wings behind her and suddenly charged toward the center of the Spore Cloud where Plague Scorpion was.
Perfect timing! Seeing the opponent wrap herself in golden radiance and plunge into the cloud, Plague Scorpion immediately flipped her wrist, and the pale green droplets previously diffused in the air were suddenly stirred up.
Plague Law: Mucus Hand!
Made up of a large amount of necrotic bacteria, the mucus slapped viciously onto the surface of the golden radiance. Even the slightest infiltration into the skin would immediately result in the necrosis of subcutaneous tissue, rapidly spreading throughout the body.
However, the anticipated cries of the opponent falling to the ground didn't occur. As soon as the Mucus Hand touched the golden radiance, it evaporated as if splashed onto a red-hot iron plate.
Following that, the strong wind raised by Thira dispersed the cloud, clearing the path for Eleanor's charge.
As Plague Scorpion prepared to deal with the Golden Knight charging head-on, her Spirituality suddenly sensed something flickering behind her.
Domain!
She activated her Plague Domain once again, and the ominous sensation that trailed her like a shadow vanished instantaneously.
Indeed, it must be that blink-assassin girl!
While Mia's blink momentarily diverted the opponent's attention, Eleanor had already charged in front of her, suddenly brandishing a gleaming Long Spear in her hand.
Dragon Spear!
The Plague Scorpion hastily retreated, simultaneously unleashing the erosion Skill of the Plague Law again, with countless tiny dark green worms swarming toward Eleanor to devour her.
However, even the worms, a more penetrative conceptual embodiment of the Plague Law, still couldn't pierce through the golden barrier enveloping Eleanor. Seizing the opportunity, Eleanor lunged forward, thrusting her Long Spear into the enemy's abdomen, ready to impale her outright.
Body Conceptualization! Faced with an unstoppable lethal blow, the Plague Scorpion had no choice but to activate the Demigod's life-saving divine skill. Her skin, smooth as ivory, instantly ruptured into a multitude of green worms, almost inducing nausea in those who witnessed it.
The Long Spear stabbed into the frenziedly twisting mass of worms, splattering only some dark green viscous liquid before the worm clusters suddenly exploded!
Innumerable worms coiled into rings atop the Bone Dragon's back, spreading out like a swarm of serpents and rapidly charging at the group. Peggy, seeing this, advanced rather than retreated, brandishing her Short Sword, preparing to summon a multitude of Illusion Sword Avatars to block them, when she suddenly heard Eleanor shout:
"Back off!"
No sooner had the words fallen than Thira's Gravity took hold of Peggy, pulling her forcefully back, while Eleanor's pupils seemed to flash suddenly, and a sea of golden Flames erupted on the back of the Bone Dragon.
Will Law. Judgment!
This "Justice"-tinged fire incinerated the worms to the point of disintegration in an instant, and even the Bone Dragon below began to howl as it plunged headfirst into the sea.
——————
The Bone Dragon's dive was an instinctive reaction (to douse the Flames with seawater) and was not directed by the Plague Scorpion.
Therefore, Thira, Miel, and Mia, thanks to their agility, managed to grasp their bearings in time before hitting the water; as for Nora, Eleanor, Peggy, and Aske, along with the Plague Scorpion caught unawares, they were swept into the seawater by inertia.
Since Ellie couldn't breathe freely underwater, she immediately held her breath, her golden hair floating around her in the water. With her left hand, she drew out willpower like a tether, anchoring herself to the Bone Dragon so as not to be swept away.
Her gaze quickly scanning, she saw Nora sprouting gills on her neck, opening and closing as they filtered seawater.
Aske, well, he had plundered Nora's Evolution Law Ability, so he too had gill-like organs on either side of his neck.
As for Peggy and the Plague Scorpion, both of them possessing the Blood Clan's Undead Physic, didn't need to breathe at all.
After a brief Silence, Eleanor once again activated her Holy Sword State, her willpower forming into large fins around her and propelling her at full speed toward the Plague Scorpion.
Quicker than her was Peggy's Curse Death, its black light streaking through the water like lightning and striking the regrouping worm humanoid.
Then, the worms exploded once more, reverting back to the pale-faced Plague Scorpion.
"This is... Death Law?" she watched Peggy in disbelief, for a moment even doubting her own judgment.
However, her conceptually wounded body served as a reminder—what else but the legendary Death Law could slay even the most ethereal of concepts?
This realization flickered through her mind, and her body suddenly reverted from concept back into Flesh and quickly merged down into the body of the Bone Dragon.
Then, massive Flesh began to grow between the skeletal structure, starting with tendons and blood vessels, followed by thick cornified skin, and ultimately a dense maze of scales.
