===================

The second phase differed in its trajectory from the beginning.

An even larger and more violent movement of the Snow Drake.

Even so, it was fast to an extent that couldn’t be compared with before.

Flick-

The red pupils spinning around as if aiming at enemies.

At that time, following a short exchange of explorations the bastard’s actions changed.

Whoosh-!

The Snow Drake changing its tail’s direction while twisting its waist.

It was a precursor of patterns reinforcing by switching to the reverse direction.

Huuuk-!

The bastard immediately rushing on its four feet heavily swung its tail carrying speed.

It was too threatening, but the attack squad members also had a big change.

“Heup!”

Team 4 heading with Mars stood holding their shields to block the attack.

Soon after spurting a radiant golden light.

In front a huge translucent shield was generated.

That moment.

Baaang-!

The flying tail hit the shield.

Rumble-!

The attack squad members’ bodies being pushed back shattering the ice from the strong impact.

However the Drake’s attacks were different from before.

Whoosh-! Baaang-!

The tail that incessantly swept over with reinforced scales.

Furthermore, adding the power of swaying mana it revealed blue afterimages.

“Hold on!”

Even against the sweeping attack seeking to crush everything, Mars’ voice was firm.

The location of the shield minutely changing while observing the striking parts.

It was Black Dragon’s advice to protect the skill’s durability.

“Heup!”

In the meantime, the offensive of colleagues who aimed for the timing continued.

Flash-!

From weapons like axes, hammers, and greatswords, their respective auras surged.

Skills flying from their respective locations directly slammed the center of the tail.

Baaang-!

The aftermath of skills surging up explosively.

Wrapped in a strong shock, the tail smashed the ice and got stuck in the floor.

Pababaam-!

Following up was magic and archery skills flying from a distance.

The attacks focused on the nape made the body of that huge Snow Drake tilt forward.

“The teeth! Please burrow low to the right!”

Black Dragon raised his voice.

Reacting immediately to those words, the attack squad members instantly lowered their center of gravity and burrowed inside.

Crunch-!

The Snow Drake biting the empty air while shoving its head in as if falling.

Lingering cold air scattered around its mouth.

“Fuck.”

“Really thought I was a goner.”

Players dodged the attack with a really narrow margin.

Had it not been for the Transcendent Sound Sphere buff, their reactions would likely have been late.

– Wow, sh*t;

– About 4 of them almost got chewed up.

– If they get bitten it’s really a one-shot.

– Could Mars survive?

– Not even Mars’ ancestors could make it;

Baaang-!

The Snow Drake failing its attack struck out its claws violently while kicking off.

At that time, Blood appeared on the battlefield.

“Get out!”

Swooosh-!

She intuitively twisting her posture rushed in tilting the greatsword made of the bastard’s blood.

Screech-!

The huge claw grazing the sword blade along with a sharp noise.

Baaang-!

The attack that narrowly brushed past got stuck in the floor.

Blood kicking off her foot without reducing speed, leaped up identically.

Swooosh-

The blood drops popping around the greatsword intensely accelerated as they swirled.

Huuuk-!

Quickly reaching the front of the Drake’s head she thrust her sword with a tremendous spirit.

That moment, the bastard’s mouth opened largely.

Rumble-!

A lump of cold air beginning to surge from inside.

Even facing an attack right in front of her nose, Blood’s fighting spirit was not broken.

Slash-!

The sword tip thrust out deeply cut the inside of the Drake’s snout.

And the effect of ‘Blood Letting’ Black Dragon informed her of continued.

Pababaam-!

Explosions of blood bursting following the bleeding areas.

Kieek-!

At the pain swirling within its skin, the Snow Drake’s head severely shook and thrashed.

The rage of that pain led to the ejection of the lump of cold air gathering in its mouth.

Swooosh-!

The cold air explosively shot toward the enemy in front.

It sought to swallow Blood who was still floating in midair.

That moment, a wave of mist swept over from behind her back.

Rumble-!

The surroundings encroached while dyeing the vision hazy.

The Drake’s cold air lump just ejected froze mixing with a tremendous density of mist.

Rumble-!

“Really fascinating I say. It’s perfectly flowing as Black Dragon expected.”

Whoosh-!

Haemu sighing as he approached swung his fan once again.

Then the mist particles created in sharp shapes rushed like a wave once more.

Rumble-!

The mist covering the Snow Drake’s entire body as if sliding.

It gifted pain rummaging through its wounds and the gaps of its hard scales.

“Now!”

The attack squad members verifying Haemu’s skill showered ranged attacks toward the mist.

Crackle-!

Baaam-!

Explosions and scattering light occurring within the mist’s particles.

Kieeeek-!

The Snow Drake suffered damage inside its covered vision.

– Oh.

– Isn’t this dealing incredible damage?

– Will they finish it?

– Did they finish it?

– Stop the jinxing;

Viewers cheered at the sweeping offensive.

At this level, it’s correct that they’re dealing sufficient damage to the Snow Drake.

However it wasn’t a bastard to just take it.

Baaang-!

The bastard kicking off its foot rushed squarely forward digging through the mist.

Senses relying only on instinct despite vision being obstructed.

The bastard finding the enemies’ locations was in no time.

Huuuk-!

The Drake’s tail boiling with anger flew in strongly.

Rumble-!

An attack rushing while sweeping the broken ice floor.

The targets were Blood and Haemu located closest.

Flash-!

Team 4 arriving at the promised location engaged in defense utilizing their shield skills.

However this time it was slightly different.

“It is a feint! Please scatter!”

Simultaneously with Black Dragon spitting out the warning, the Drake’s waist twisted.

Whirl-!

The bastard smoothly turning its body changed the direction of its swinging tail at once.

Tap-!

The Advance Party members recognizing the warning immediately retreated back to spread their formation.

Simultaneously as the tail bent downward hammered into the floor.

Flash-!

Radiant light arose from the gap of the collapsed floor.

It was the reinforced spike pattern.

Rumble-!

Hundreds of spikes protruding from below as if intersecting.

They sought to swallow the attack squad while causing chain explosions.

However this countermeasure was also within Black Dragon’s briefing.

Tap-!

The Advance Party members who leaped high early on headed to the debris of surrounding ice structures.

The Snow Drake did not miss that moment.

Baaang-!

The bastard kicking off its foot rushed toward Team 4 holding their shields.

Its intention was to finish off the enemies continuing to defend against its attacks first.

“It’s coming!”

“Prepare!”

The Advance Party members who heard the target priority from Black Dragon did not panic.

They immediately engaged their defense stance while activating their shield skills.

However the strength of the Drake nearing its full power had also changed from a moment ago.

Whoosh-!

The suddenly leaping Drake forcefully swung its tail while twisting its body.

The moment it reached Team 4’s shields.

Baaam-!

Clang-!

With the mana’s afterimage exploding, the golden shield broke.

“Ugh!”

Losing their skill, they pressed the shields in their hands closely to their bodies.

Simultaneously the tail overtook everyone.

Smack-!

The vast majority of Team 4 bouncing off along with a tremendous noise.

They got stuck deeply while destroying the huge ice wall on the outskirts of the citadel.

– Ew;

– It’s f*cking strong. LOL

– Look how scary its eyes are.

– This is 500 huh;

– How do they catch that?

– Haemu bro, ‘do something’

The overwhelming power of the boss made them reconsider the possibility of subjugation once again.

However it wasn’t everyone who was blown away.

“Tch.”

Mars, whose legs were stuck down up to the floor, endured the attack while being pushed far away.

“Everyone return!”

Mars kicking off his feet while dropping instructions to those stuck in the ice wall.

Manifesting a huge blue shield, he rushed toward the Snow Drake to fulfill the role of the vanguard.

Baaang-!

The bastard swinging its foot grabbed onto the blue shield.

Grrr-

The Drake intensely staring at Mars flashing its red eyes.

Its large mouth naturally opened.

Swooosh-!

At that time, something flew in at a tremendous speed toward the bastard’s head.

Smack-!

The Drake’s head sharply snapping down at the strong impact planted on the crown of its head.

Above it the figure of Luna folding one leg was seen.

– Uh?

– Leg?

– Did she just hit it with her foot?

– ??

Luna with the magic swordsman position handling the ice attribute.

Naturally she can deal damage without a weapon, but right now this situation was different.

Because what could give such a strike to the Snow Drake would only be those having fighter-type skills.

Grrr-!

The throat of the angered bastard rumbled fiercely.

Flash-!

Simultaneously a magic circle beginning to cover the sky.

Hundreds of sharp spikes were created from there.

Swooosh-!

The spikes setting their target rushed toward Luna at an incredible speed.

However she, forming a smile, ran toward the Snow Drake as if she didn’t care.

Whoosh-!

Crunch-!

The flying spikes were cleanly sliced neatly by Luna’s swordmastery looking as if she’s dancing.

Not a skill nor anything, purely physical ability.

Seeing the smile with a different atmosphere from usual, she seemed to be using the mask properly.

‘…There was a reason she showed confidence.’

Looking at those movements, entrusting it to her was the right choice.

The mask’s effect directly connected to the potential slumbering inside.

He knew Luna had talent, but even that seemed to be an underestimation.

“All attack squad members except Team 1 please concentrate attacks on its tail and both hind feet! We will go to the final wide-area pattern in a single breath!”

At Luna’s activities deviating beyond expectations, he quickly revised the plan.

Swooosh-!

Luna who sliced off all ice spikes was pouring attacks in earnest towards the Snow Drake.

Whoosh-!

Slash-!

None of the bastard’s attacks reached her properly.

Excessively fast and light body movements.

Han-bit could notice that the Drake was flustered.

Rumble-!

Baaam-!

At that time, the attacks of other attack squad members were also resumed once again.

Close-combat skills plunging down emitting waves, and ranged skills like magic sweeping from afar.

Several skills left behind debris like black smoke simultaneously with striking.

Grrr-!

The Snow Drake moving its body slyly backed away to the rear.

Baaang-!

Simultaneously a huge fireball exploded right in front.

Srrk-

Acaprid gray smoke covering vision.

Luna was still continuing her offensive.

The Snow Drake intensely watching that figure instantly struck its claws into the smoke.

Swooosh-!

An attack filled with confidence that this couldn’t be avoided.

However right now Luna’s five senses were in a state leaping beyond limits.

Screech-!

She instantly reacting erected her sword and deflected the bastard’s struck out claw.

Tap-!

Luna’s sword immediately thrust out while kicking off her foot.

Along with an afterimage scattering chill, the sword’s blade headed toward the Snow Drake’s red eye.

……!

The speed faster than expected reached before the Drake recognized it.

And.

Stab-!

In the end, the pure white sword blade pierced into its pupil.

– Ew;

– It’d hurt like f*ck;

– Just die and be at ease.

– Please…….

Kieeeek-!

The bastard getting its left eye struck screamed and severely shook its tail.

And then it roughly kicked off its feet.

Baaang-!

The Drake making a leap while shaking the ground jumped up into the sky.

Considering its body size, it was an unreasonable agility.

Crack-!

The bastard securing the ceiling with its claws focused its vision on Luna.

Its right red pupil mixed with vigilance, anger, and murderous intent.

Hum-!

At that time, an ominous resonance spread from the bastard stopped in the sky.

A preparation signal of a powerful wide-area skill enough to overturn the citadel.

Tap-!

Han-bit immediately utilizing Wind’s Leap bounced up to the halfway point of the ceiling.

Presenting his wind-swept sword, he consecutively used another skill.

Swooosh-!

A body that moved seemingly flickering as sweeping up wind rushed.

It was the spirit skill Gale Slash.

Grrr-!

The appearance of the enemy arriving as if doing a spatial movement was unexpected even for the Snow Drake.

Fwoosh-!

In the gust surging on Han-bit’s sword blade, fierce flames were mixed.

What reached his gaze was the unique scale below the bastard’s jaw.

Swooosh-!

Han-bit without hesitation thrust his sword towards the reverse scale.

Swooosh- Swoosh-!

Crack-!

Consecutive strikes continued at rapid speed with the effect of Storm Barrage added.

Kieeeek-!

At the pain as if its eyes would unroll the Snow Drake twisted its whole body.

The overly huge shock didn’t leave the bastard to be on the ceiling.

Tudud-

The Drake losing strength in its claws plummeted to the floor.

Han-bit borrowing Sylph’s wind also followed right after and descended below.

Baaang-!

The Snow Drake landing on the floor.

Grrr-

Wrapped in pain and anger, the bastard’s breath sounds became even more irregular.

“We will attack a little more.”

Han-bit observing its state ordered an attack once again.

Baaang-!

Baaam-!

The battle resumed with the unsound Snow Drake was still not easy.

However the Advance Party members who before they knew it became familiar with the battlefield poured out optimal results from their respective locations.

Tudud-

When about 10 more minutes of combat followed like that.

The Snow Drake’s state became noticeably bad.

The attack squad members who agonizingly poured out their concentration were also not intact.

“Preparation is done.”

Haemu stepping up closely behind Han-bit spoke while fluttering his fan.

The five layers of mist that had begun stacking from the start of Phase 2.

It was a mechanism to cause explosions by clashing differing mana characteristics.

A considerably difficult mixing, but he seemed to have succeeded well.

Flash-!

At that time, blue light started spurting from the Snow Drake rolling up its body.

Red blood continuously flowing onto the floor seeped beneath the ice floor.

That moment.

Dudud-!

The ice laid in the citadel started to move simultaneously.

“You can pull back now. It explodes if you attack, so be careful.”

That figure is closer to a final choice rather than an area-of-effect skill.

A self-destruct blowing up all its own mana together with the citadel.

It was a pattern yet not a pattern created by the strong pride peculiar to the dragon race.

Tap-!

Han-bit quickly moving his feet approached Luna standing far away.

The Mask of Frenetic Dance only hands over control of the body to its owner after as much combat as desired occurs.

If he doesn’t forcibly release it now, attacks to the Drake will…….

“It hasn’t been too horrible though?”

“……?”

At the voice heard Han-bit made a questioning expression.

“Are you okay?”

“Of course.”

An odd smile is rising, but Luna truly seemed normal.

Maintaining one’s sanity while using that mask is an impossible matter.

At least it was a situation that didn’t exist in Han-bit’s memories.

Is it because it became a game, or is Luna’s mental power surprisingly strong.

“…It’s a relief. First of all I will take care of that.”

Anyway, because it wouldn’t become dangerous, a sense of relief came first.

Han-bit moving his feet returned holding the remaining 2 White Wyvern’s Hearts.

Giving one to Haemu he conveyed support.

“If you fail this subjugation also falls through.”

“It’s like a threat and it’s nice.”

Haemu shrugging his shoulders moved forward holding the white sphere.

Dudud-

The citadel gradually shaking largely.

The other attack squad members were staying behind alongside Han-bit who held the White Wyvern’s Heart.

Srrk-

As much as the floor cracks gradually intensified, the blue light spurting from the Snow Drake’s body became stronger.

Swoosh-

The thickening mist had already achieved all necessary conditions.

The objective is to block the bastard’s self-destruct with an artificial explosion.

It’s a structure ending in subjugation success if the attack squad survives.

Flash-!

At that time focusing on changes, the blue light spurted piercing through the thick mist.

Hum-!

Air sucking in along with an ominous noise.

Haemu immediately throwing the white sphere drew his fan horizontally.

Slash-

Intense chill spurting out as it was exactly sliced in half.

That collided with the mixed mist creating an intense explosion.

Pababaam-!

The moment Haemu who wrapped his body in mist quickly broke away to the outskirts.

Two huge explosions collided with full force.

Rumble-!

The shock created by the collision was powerful enough to overturn the citadel.

It was to the extent that not even the broadcast cameras could capture it properly.

Rumble-

The aftermath surging for quite a while only entered a lull after a few minutes passed.

The center of the citadel that lost its original figure.

There only the huge head of the Snow Drake whose body had exploded into pieces remained.

Ding-

[Player Black Dragon’s attack squad has succeeded in the world’s first subjugation of the Snow Drake.]
