Meanwhile, the Bone Dragon and monsters became increasingly active in attacking.
The expedition could no longer concentrate as the senior users were busy fighting among themselves.
Regardless, the Dark Gamers observed neutrality and fought monsters, but they were unable to block everything.
"Kiyooh! Humans, kill them!"
"Believe in evil. Ride Evil!"
Although wounded, the Bone Dragon and monsters released vicious attacks.
The Valley of Death literally became the graveyard of many people.
At one point, the balance began to collapse. The axis of power shifted from the dominant humans to the Bone Dragon and monsters.
"Oh fuck!"
"It's because of those traitors."
It was already too late to stop fighting each other and concentrate on monsters.
To make matters worse, the situation did not allow them to believe in each other.
It was difficult for the expedition to trust Terose's men that killed the Cold Roses guild. If they once again combined their full strength, they would have had a chance, but they were unable to do so and took increasing cumulative damage.
Finally, the Bone Dragon broke the inhibiting line of defence.
In order to catch the Bone Dragon, its movement must be sealed by constantly attacking; but due to a lack of attacks, it managed to free itself.
"Keueoeoeo!"
The Bone Dragon flapped its unfolded wings.
As it flew away, the wind pressure knocked down Terose and his men, along with the warriors of the expedition.
"Damn!"
Terose tried to stand up in a hurry.
Gleem!
At that moment, the Bone Dragon's eyes lighted up.
The Bone Dragon took a deep breath, expanding its mouth.
Puwahak!
With a powerful breath, it destroyed Terose and expedition warriors.
"Aaaaah!"
"Please help me!"
"My body ... my body's melting!"
The Bone Dragon’s released its most powerful weapon, its breath.
Concentrated in one place, priests, elementalists and wizards with weak stamina literally forced their way through.
Make it!"
"Come on!"
Frightened, they tried to run away like flies while casting defensive magic. Then, a sweeping breath passed through.
The survivors quickly tried to avoid any incidents by attempting to stop those who suffered significant damage from dying.
As their bodies turned black, their health exponentially declined.
This was the result from being fed poisonous breath.
Initially united, they casted defensive magic on the warriors to slowly weaken the breath, but they could not prevent it from swallowing them up.
"Treatment of the hand!"
"Heal!"
"Recovery!"
The priests’ hurriedly casted recovery magic.
Reducing the poison while recovering health!
"Anti-Poison!"
"Poison Cure!"
The priests aggressively cast detoxification magic.
Thanks to their diligent effort, their colleagues hit by the breath survived, but the situation had already turned desperate.
The remains of the expedition numbered in the 400s. The number of survivors was still quite significant; nevertheless, they could no longer fight the Bone Dragon.
They lacked direct combating warriors. The remaining priests, wizards, elementalists, archers, bards and dancers were physically vulnerable jobs.
"Damn! It's happening again."
Volk scored a complaint.
Like the last request he took, he would lose his life again. You would receive a large reward if you died for the promise, but for the Dark Gamers, death itself was a huge loss.
The Dark Gamers including Volk and Lynn Der united in one place.
"What should we do?"
Contractually we cannot escape."
"So ......"
"Cool, let's fight!"
Blood started flowing in the Dark Gamers after a long time.
Royal Road was a job for Dark Gamers to make money, but they basically loved the land.
When fighting monsters, they were generally forced to be passive to get home.
However, by the invisible hand of god, they ended up fighting the Bone Dragon and monsters, making their chests burn with spirit.
"Euaaa!"
"Kill him now!"
"Hack them! Hack them!"
In a frenzy, the Dark Gamers ignored the insignificant monsters and charged exclusively towards the Bone Dragon.
"Woo hit hit hit hit!"
"All right! Exciting ain't it?"
When the Bone Dragon knocked them down, they simply laughed. The Dark Gamers stood right back up like zombies and charged again!
In the meantime, the Geomchis’ had to deal with the monsters. Wizards and priests fought carefully while observing their surroundings, but they did not take full advantage of the Geomchis.
After fighting dozens of monsters until he was ragged, he could no longer take anymore.
"Keueuk!"
Geomchi emerged injured and collapsed as he died.
Weed decided to intervene in the battle after receiving the report.
"I wish I had not been forced to embark."
Geomchi's death, however, could not be overlooked. Thus, Weed first sent a whisper.
"Brother Geomchi 16."
"Huh? Weed?"
Geomchi 16 said with a very serene tone of voice as opposed to his grim, fighting face.
He was the eldest after Geomchi. Having gone through quite a lot of chaos in reality, he never lost his calm reasoning.
"I heard about the breath attack. Does this mean Ahn Hyundo died?"
"Died. Some circumstances from a while back allowed me to survive. Anyway, let me help you. Please get safely to the back."
No, there's no need."
Geomchi 16’s words were rather unexpected.
"Please wait until I die first."
"Yes?"
"If you are not in front of her, I will have a chance to show her I’m a great man."
Near Geomchi 16 was a beautiful, crying and trembling priest casting treatment magic.
In this cold and dangerous place where hungry and unmatched monsters lurked, she watched a man risk his life!
Geomchi 16 decided to sacrifice his body.
In reality, this situation would never happen. Geomchi 16 typically beat up bullies on sight.
Eventually, Geomchi 16 gloriously collapsed while fighting evil soldiers.
His life had fallen to a dying level, rendering treatment magic useless.
"I'm sorry, my skills weren't good enough. It would have been better if I died instead..."
"...It's fine, you did everything you could."
Priestess Yevhen's big eyes filled with tears.
She focused her eyes on Geomchi 16.
With a strong presence on the battlefield, he always looked after her.
Now he lost his life.
"Again stay away, one day we will meet again. Even then I would like to protect you, would you do me the honour?"
Geomchi 16 had spent a few days preparing for this moment. He specifically trained under the playboy master, Zephyr.
He said for women, a grieving voice lamenting over not being able to protect them was highly effective in touching their feelings.
"Yes, my name is Libby."
"Geomchi 16."
Register friends!
Having accomplished his goal, Geomchi 16 could finally die.
'I did it.’
Weed arose from his hiding place.
A body made up of only bones!
A figure in the shape of a skeleton advanced on the expedition.
