Chapter 82
"That ans I can get the legendary spell scroll if I defeat the world boss, right?" Zach asked himself the obvious question.
’But... if a guild of 3200 mbers couldn’t defeat it, how can I?’ Zach wasn’t trying to downgrade himself, but he was wondering the possibility of the outco if he decided to fight the world boss.
"And wasn’t this guild only accepting the players who had refined physique? So doesn’t that an they were the descendants of the high-humans who already have a massive advantage over the other players?"
’What type of boss is it, though?’
Zach was asking himself too many questions, and the answer to all his questions was simple; to fight the world boss.
"I have 8000 MP, which is enough to deal 8000000 HP DMG," Zach uttered. "But it’s the world boss we are talking about. It probably has a huge ass HP."
Zach walked forward and prepared himself to fight the world boss.
’Once I encounter the world boss, I can’t retreat...’
As Zach walked forward, his commitnt to fighting the world boss slowly decreased.
He saw hundreds of dead bodies on the ground, each of them missing at least one of their body parts. There were bodies on the ground, on the walls, trees, between the rocks, half-buried in the ground, squashed beneath other bodies, and smashed on the walls.
The ground and everything around was dyed red with the blood, and it was the river of the blood moving with the flow.
It was a truly bizarre sight, and the stench was unbearable even for Zach.
"I think it’s not too late to retreat...."
After walking for a while and sleeping on dozens of dead bodies, Zach noticed a bottomless pit in his sight.
’That’s the world boss’ den.’
Zach cautiously walked further and stopped near the pit.
"..." He raised his brows and muttered, "I was hoping for it to attack , but..."
Zach walked forward and peeked down in the pit to see a fire dragon inside. The pit was so deep that the dragon’s body could easily fit inside.
"Is it sleepy?" Zach wondered. "Maybe it’s tired after the fight with the entire guild?"
Zach conjured a fire sword in his hand and another in his other hand. Then, he rged both swords together and ford a long fire sword with two blades.
"I don’t want to be called a coward for attacking it when it’s sleeping, but this is the best chance I have if I want to fight this thing..."
Zach took a run-up and jumped into the pit on top of the dragon. He aid his sword at the dragon’s head and released 5000 MP in the sword.
However, as soon as the sword touched the dragon’s body, the dragon turned into ash.
"Huh?"
Zach landed on the ground and took 8 HP fall damage. If it was another player, they would have taken at least 8000 HP fall damage. But Zach’s DMG was close to none because of his physique.
"What just happened?" Zach lanced around with a confused look on his face and retracted the fire sword.
"Don’t tell ... the dragon was already dead?"
Suddenly, Zach slled the foul stench of blood coming towards him. He imdiately conjured two swords in his hands and looked up to see what was coming at him.
The entrance of the bit was covered in a red mist, seemingly created by the blood of the dead players.
The mist slowly gathered and began changing its shape. It soon turned solid and transford into the form of a dragon, but a smaller size.
Zach could see the remains of the fire within the blood mist dragon’s body. Its entire body was red, and its eyes were yellow because of the fire.
Zach glared at the dragon and uttered, "Are you the ghost of the dragon who killed all the players?"
[You are... not a... human,] the dragon uttered in an ethereal female voice.
However, it didn’t open its mouth. It was as though it was speaking directly into Zach’s mind.
"What are you?" Zach asked.
[The remains of the dragon, or you may call an afterimage of the dragon.] After a brief pause, the dragon said, [I am dead. No need to be hostile to . I can’t do anything to you even if I wanted to.]
"I am so confused right now, but okay." Zach retracted his sword after noticing that the dragon’s body was slowly fading away.
"Where is the legendary spell scroll?" Zach asked.
[He took it away,] the dragon replied.
"And who is ’he’?"
[I don’t know. He was wearing a mask.]
"So... he is the one who killed you?" Zach asked with a curious yet calm look on his face.
[Yes.] The dragon’s size decreased more as it continued speaking, [Last night, those humans suddenly ca to attack . I tried my best to not kill anyone, but in the end, I had to kill them; otherwise, they would have killed .]
The dragon’s size decreased even more as it said, [Then, when only a few hundreds of humans had left, ’he’ ca and killed everyone in one hit.]
"...!"
[I was badly injured because of my fight with the humans, so I couldn’t win against the masked man.]
[In the end, he killed and took the scroll with him,] the dragon asserted in a fading voice.
"Co on~!" Zach groaned loudly.
He sighed and asked, "What was that scroll about anyway?"
[It had a spell of the eternal flas. The flas would protect the caster and burn everything on its way.]
Zach placed his hand on his chin and thought, ’That flas would have worked perfectly with the crimson sword. It’s almost as though the spell and the sword were made for each other.’
Zach’s guess was correct. The sword was made to use that spell to its full potential. Without the sword, the spell was like a dull-edged sword that could still cut but not sharply.
[Hey you...] the dragon called out to Zach. [May I know your na?]
"You may not," Zach replied. "I know that giving nas to higher beings can be a deadly trap."
[I guess you are not wrong, but let tell you my na.]
"Go ahead."
[My na is Malinda Edna. And I want you to fulfill my legacy.]
