Former Hero, Solo Play Oriented - Chapter 75

Boom!

WeGotMarried, the Guild Master of GG Group from Alpharion Empire, thrust a strong Wind Fist towards the side of the World Boss, ‘Green Dragon’.

Whoosh!

Immediately after, a quick tail swinging attack that didn’t match the Green Dragon’s huge body, which seemed over dozens of meters long, swept across the entire battlefield.

Tap!

WeGotMarried avoided that attack through the invincibility judgment of Backward Evasion while creating a large distance from the Green Dragon.

Thud thud thud!

“Argh!”

“Aaah!”

The sight of dozens of users gathered around the Green Dragon being flung away all at once was truly spectacular. It would have been a more pleasant scene if all those users weren’t from ‘Alpharion Empire’.

WeGotMarried muttered with a disgruntled expression.

“Damn, to think there are so many users trying to freeload. They should be dealing with those Betarion Empire bastards instead.”

Not all ‘Alpharion Empire’ affiliated users gathered in the faction battlefield, ‘Berbeia Forest’, were part of the GG Group alliance.

The GG Group alliance currently consists of White Bone Group and No Mercy forming a defensive line on the outskirts of the forest, and the ‘Red-White’ Guild which is the main force for World Boss attacks.

Although most Alpharion Empire users currently in Berbeia Forest are part of the GG alliance, there were also a considerable number of individual users not following their control.

Of course, the individual users can’t be blamed.

They too are trying to contribute to the World Boss attack to get their share.

It’s all for nothing if they die and get kicked out of the faction battlefield though.

In fact, the trickiest point of attacking the first World Boss, ‘Green Dragon’, wasn’t in its terrifying patterns.

The characteristics of the ‘faction battlefield’.

You can’t change item settings inside the battlefield.

If you die, a re-entry cooldown penalty for the battlefield starts.

But both PVE users for boss attacks and PVP users to block the opposing faction were needed.

Even if PVE users try to attack, it’s over if they lose in the ‘faction war’.

If they lose the war, they might end up just revealing lots of attack methods and handing over the World Boss clear to Betarion Empire.

“Both PVE users and PVP users need to cooperate to catch this guy.”

No matter how much attack GG Group’s main force with PVP settings pour on the dragon, it’s just freeloading.

In the end, the ‘Red-White’ Guild with PVE settings needs to take down the World Boss.

WeGotMarried surveyed the battle situation.

Boom boom boom!

[Iron Golem]

[HP 27,720,505/50,000,000]

The main force of the ‘Red-White’ Guild was focusing attacks on one guardian.

They were shaving off the guardian’s HP quickly with damage output far superior to the GG Group guild members with PVP settings.

Boom!

The Fighter ‘Deathly Death’ in charge of guardian tanking was excellently responding to the guardian golem’s vicious attacks with quick movements and accurate counterattacks. And he didn’t stop his offensive either.

“The current arena rank 1, Deathly Death, huh.”

Fighter Deathly Death, the tank of ‘Chris’s Raid Party’, an experienced dungeon first clear party, and maintaining rank 1 in 1:1 arena. Although WeGotMarried was also a top arena ranker, he had to concede one point to him.

It’s hard to readily understand why a user like Deathly Death is in charge of guardian tanking rather than being the Green Dragon’s main tank.

But if you look at the white flash moving quickly in front of the Green Dragon, you come to understand why Deathly Death is taking on the sub-tank role.

WeGotMarried stuck out his tongue.

“Is that movement possible for a user?”

Swoosh!

The Green Dragon’s huge front paw came down to crush the white girl.

Swish.

Crash!

The dragon’s front paw that passed through the girl’s body, which left a light afterimage as it swayed, hit bare ground. The strong impact left by that front paw made the earth tremble.

It wasn’t an invincibility skill. She avoided that vicious front paw with just the movement of her body.

Starlight kept falling around the white girl’s body, and her sword started drawing beautiful arcs.

Slash slash slash!

Kaaaah-!!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Green Dragon kept roaring and stomping its front paws towards the girl. Each time, the girl’s body moved quickly and kept hitting the dragon’s front paws.

The Green Dragon was chasing only the white girl with bloodshot lizard eyes. She had firmly secured aggro with pure damage output while avoiding those terrifying patterns.

Thud, thud, thud!

The Green Dragon started shaking off users clinging to its back by stomping its hind legs. 

Thud, thud! Numerous users were flung away, but the damage didn’t reach the main force of the ‘Red-White’ Guild dealing with the guardians.

Due to the main tank girl’s position in front of the huge Green Dragon’s body opposite from numerous users, there weren’t many patterns other users had to respond to. Just tail swinging and hind leg stomping.

The girl distinguished between patterns she had to avoid with just movement, patterns she had to use invincibility skills for, and patterns she had to block.

Whoosh!

The huge dragon’s front paw swept across the entire 180 degrees in front, swinging towards the girl.

That pattern is what had caused attack failures so far.

If it’s a Swordsman or Fighter class, they can block it without much damage, but their body gets pushed and flung in the direction the front paw swung. As the tank’s position changes, the damage dealers at the sides and rear become endangered too.

The 360-degree tail swinging pattern that comes after. If you block this too, you get flung. You might not die, but because the tank’s position changes, you can’t protect damage dealers from subsequent patterns.

The ranged users with party protection skills to protect the tank are all clinging to the guardians. The protection skills won’t reach the girl positioned beyond the Green Dragon’s huge body.

WeGotMarried forgot even his duty of monitoring the faction battlefield situation and focused on the girl’s movements with sweaty palms.

Swish.

When the 180-degree front paw swinging attack reached right in front of the girl, her form wavered for a moment and disappeared. And then appeared again in the same place.

WeGotMarried’s mouth fell open.

“Counterattack?”

At the moment the front paw reached right in front of her body, she targeted it and avoided it with Counterattack.

The time to target the front paw, would it even be 0.1 seconds? It’s different from the attack method so far that relied on party protection skills to protect the main tank.

The girl is doing main tanking alone, without party protection skills, with pure physical ability.

Whoosh!

The tail swinging that came right after. The other party members attacking the guardians didn’t take damage under the protection of party protection skills, and the girl avoided it with Backward Evasion.

Clang clang clang!

The dragon’s front paw scratched the ground and quickly came up towards the girl.

If she blocks that too, her body will soar into the air.

The girl had already used both Counterattack and Backward Evasion.

How will she respond?

Clang!

She blocked the front paw, but the girl’s body soared high into the air. The white girl’s form fluttering in midair looked precarious.

Creak.

Soon, the Green Dragon opened its huge mouth to try to put the girl floating in midair into its mouth.

It’s a crisis.

WeGotMarried almost shouted without realizing it.

Is it still difficult without party protection skills after all?

Twirl.

In an instant, the girl’s body rotated once in midair.

Flash!

The girl’s body that thrust down with a flash in midair tore from the edge of the dragon’s mouth, leaving a thin long scar on its neck.

Kaaaah-!!!

For the first time, the Green Dragon let out a roar filled with pain.

Thud.

At the same time, the guardian golem that the main damage dealers of the Red-White Guild were facing laid its huge body on the ground.

Until the raid members took down one guardian, the girl had practically faced the Green Dragon alone.

At that sound, WeGotMarried came to his senses.

He wasn’t the only one captivated by the girl’s movements.

The main forces of GG Group around were also watching that sight with sweaty palms.

“Those Betarion Empire bastards have started entering the forest!”

At the report that soon came in, WeGotMarried returned to his proper duty as GG Group’s Guild Master.

“Alright, main forces of GG Group, listen! Thoroughly block those Plan B bastards from coming here!”

We must protect the Red-White Guild.

Led by the white girl swordswoman, they clearly had the skills to clear the World Boss.

There are still quite a few individual users alive, but most of them won’t be able to avoid being wiped out by the first special pattern breath.

The GG Group alliance blocks Betarion Empire and Plan B.

The Red-White Guild takes down the Green Dragon.

WeGotMarried, GG Group’s Guild Master, left an eye greeting to Raid Leader Chris and withdrew from the Green Dragon attack front line with his guild members.

Kaaaah-!!

The Green Dragon’s roars kept reaching even the outskirts of Berbeia Forest full of huge trees.

Tap tap tap-!

GG Group’s main force was running towards the direction where reports came in that Plan B’s main force had entered.

The users of Betarion Empire, who had regrouped their forces, had finally started re-entering the forest.

If they armed with PVP equipment reach in front of the Green Dragon, the Red-White Guild wearing PVE equipment won’t be able to easily continue their attack.

And the opponent WeGotMarried had to block appeared before his eyes.

Kikikiki!

With a frivolous laugh, Plan B’s Guild Master, ‘Rock Cho Hyunsoo’, appeared.

Returned from raid leader to war guild’s Guild Master, he had already equipped PVP settings and was fully prepared to hunt users.

He glared at WeGotMarried with a sneer.

WeGotMarried returned a confident smile.

“Plan B’s Guild Master, Mr. Rock Cho Hyunsoo. You can’t reach the Green Dragon.”

“Kiki, after your attack team is wiped out, we just need to occupy the forest to prevent re-entry and push you out step by step.”

“Is that so? In this attack, we intend to take down the Green Dragon no matter what.”

Cho Hyunsoo’s face distorted.

“What nonsense… Fine. First, let’s deal with you GG Group bastards and then think about it.”

As Cho Hyunsoo raised his hand, Plan B’s main forces who revealed themselves from all directions rushed in brandishing their weapons.

Waaaah-!

In the faction battlefield, ‘Berbeia Forest’. Here.

The war for World Boss attacks began in earnest.
