Game’s Dogma

Chapter 370: Force Rupture

8964 copyright protection461xqCgE8OCvZ

Zealler didnt wait for them to react. Once they were within the combat area of the dungeon, he immediately howled and sprung into action. He couldnt speak as he was acting as a system-generated illusion. Although he was seeking vengeance, he still held onto the slight hope that he might fool the system.8964 copyright protection461s6e174vxoj

The tall beastman leapt into the air and dropped like a meteor. Drako Yaus face fell as he immediately cried, Run!8964 copyright protection461SyIYxAJZhM

The boss was attacking far too quickly. Usually, dungeon bosses would put on a fierce pose before attacking once players entered its aggro zone, yet things were completely different this time.8964 copyright protection461DLznhXl5KW

Though they were all elites, they were players and saw the game as a game. They were used to the games settings and expected the same in this dungeon. But this was a life-and-death battle for Zealler; he wouldnt stand there and greet his enemies before attacking.8964 copyright protection461dvCpxdc3Rf

Apart from Drako Yau, the four only realised the situation by the time Zealler came crashing down on them. Greenstone had the quickest reaction and dodged to the left with his nimble footwork. Danting shrieked and broke his physical limits to form the teleportation array in a split second then jumped in, leaving behind Windstrider and Idyllic Poet to face their impending doom.8964 copyright protection461S2DtxkkJw4

Windstrider embraced Idyllic Poet and turned his back towards Zealler in hopes of defending her. He knew it was useless, but he did it regardless out of instinct.8964 copyright protection461J7XgnXFeLx

Suddenly, a roar reached them. An orange dragon clung onto them, then reeled them away moments before Zealler smashed a crater in the ground. The resulting earthquake almost knocked them to the ground.8964 copyright protection4617Q507Ctey5

Windstriders seemingly futile action somehow saved him and Idyllic Poet. If he hadnt held onto her, Drako Yau couldnt have rescued them both using Dragon Capturing Hand no matter how powerful he was.8964 copyright protection4616FyBGOBtSC

Stay in formation! Drako Yau shouted. His Devil Kings Cloak shot up behind him and formed a vague silhouette of a person; Descent of the Devil Kingthe overpowered active skill of his legendary cloak that granted a forty per cent buff to all attributes for two hours!8964 copyright protection461N3qwjxY4zw

The strange situation sent goosebumps all over Drako Yau. The sense of crisis he felt right now was comparable to when he encountered the fire crystal master.8964 copyright protection461k0QPFsyD5d

Windstrider had already let go of Idyllic Poet and began firing away. With his dual guns, he circled Zealler while shooting non-stopCorner Strike! Although rangers had a large variety of skills, their cooldown was somewhat long for Windstrider, who wielded two guns. He could cast skills and attack exceptionally quickly, so he never gave up on the few Noh Firearms Marksmanship skills as they provided the best damage output. 8964 copyright protection461FCrLqAKwrG

At the same time, Danting appeared from behind Zealler through his teleportation array and slashed his Divine Martial Sword dyed in the trademark black aura of magic swordsmen.8964 copyright protection461AGuBNDtBrY

Zealler growled in surprise. The puny humans were strong enough to threaten his life! With a buzz, his skin gave off a metallic sheen; it was the effect of the beastmens innate skill, Metal Hide.8964 copyright protection461BztQB33opN

Metal Hide was the reason why beastmen made the best vanguards and chargers in wars. As a royal, Zeallers Metal Hide was even more potent and granted greater defence against physical and magical attacks than his brethren.8964 copyright protection461fy63bux27l

The volley of bullets splattered Zealler in a series of clinks. Despite activating Metal Hide, he still felt a wave of pain. A greatsword slashed towards him moments after. As Danting roared, he swiped his left hand across his blade, endowing arcane glyphs that radiated a cold blue glow.8964 copyright protection461Ws4pi2uOUt

Another metallic clash rang out. A layer of frost formed on Zeallers armFrost Slash, a Magic Swordsman skill! Zealler was all the more surprised as he thought, How does he know ice is the nemesis of Metal Hide! He instantly whipped his unaffected arm at Danting and sent the swordsman flying away.8964 copyright protection461PFudUYkFh4

A green glow landed on Danting immediately after he was knocked away. Greenstone was displaying his extraordinary timing and technique as a cleric once again.8964 copyright protection461xTBV2xtHYr

Drako Yau shouted, This guys weak against ice! He stabbed his spear into the ground, conjuring a blooming flower of ice beneath Zealler.8964 copyright protection461TpqoLeUVjh

Zealler leapt just in time to evade the icy flower beneath him. Once he was in the air, five golden beams blasted himSoaring Suns! However, Zealler seemed more delighted than worried about the incoming beams. He twisted his body mid-air and received the spell with his frozen arm. Like rocks tossed into a lake, the scorching beams induced several ripples that tore apart the ice that locked his arm in place.8964 copyright protection4615kElkHbKjv

Hes fire resistant! Poet, stop dealing damage and control him instead! Drako Yau yelled as he stomped the ground and propelled himself towards Zealler.8964 copyright protection461TvnZYCsl7T

Zealler glared at Drako Yau with vengeful eyes and yelled without restraint, Die!8964 copyright protection461IDtwlohZZa

Drako Yau returned a cold gaze. Once he learnt about the beastmans weakness, it was of little threat to him. He thrust his spear forwards with its sapphire endFrozen Strike! He wasnt particularly fond of this skill, but it was surprisingly suitable for thrusting, so he instinctively used it whenever he made a thrust. It felt as if he didnt use the skill on purpose but only because they had the same goal.8964 copyright protection461Jwyvm5pji4

Using the Cryoflame style, Drako Yau infused his internal forces into the thrust that contained the power of a skill and his technique. The metallic clash no longer rang out, this time replaced by a pop. He felt a major blow hammering his body as he shot backwards while grunting.8964 copyright protection461M8scfKnCsQ

Arghhh! Zealler howled in agony. He could no longer hide his sentience and pretend to be a typical dungeon boss. The thrust fractured his left fist, but no blood flowed out of the wounds because his entire arm was frozen. 8964 copyright protection461FDmoowmzbs

Beastmen royals Metal Hide was special. It fortified their skin into metal and dissipated the force of impact all over their body, serving as a buffer to receive more damage. However, this characteristic also came with a weakness. Once they sustained damage that broke through their Metal Hides defences, the injury would also spread across the body, rendering Metal Hide completely unusable.8964 copyright protection461lQ3MKGlcHz

This condition was known as force rupture.8964 copyright protection461jkywGe7RhG
