Chapter 105: Rescue The Townspeople (Part 1)
The players were silent for a moment until Master PungPong quietly voiced what everyone was thinking, "So, you can fight in the dungeon like this?"
Normally, fighting in the dungeons just meant the boss was picking off players one by one, and they didn\'t feel anything.
But after experiencing it firsthand, they could even enjoy the thrill of bungee jumping.
It was kind of fun.
Return of the King shook his head with a pale expression saying, "Not fun at all. I\'m afraid of heights."
Well, not everyone enjoyed it.
Pork Rib Boss didn\'t pay attention to those two people and asked Spicy Flavor Fairy, "Did you learn any other useful skills?"
The light-type magic spell wasn\'t helpful anymore, and without being able to control the boss, it was still pretty tough.
Spicy Flavor Fairy looked through his skill list.
He was the first player to become a priest, so if anyone wanted to know what skills a priest could learn, they just needed to ask him.
But Spicy Flavor Fairy shook his head, "I learned all attack spells. There\'s a spell in the magic book called Radiant Cage, but I didn\'t learn it. I guess most priests didn\'t learn that spell either."
When he said that, Pork Rib Boss wasn\'t disappointed.
Even without magic, he still had a way to control the boss.
Plus, the boss wasn\'t immune to the light-type spell; it just knew how to dodge it.
If used correctly, it could still have unexpected effects.
As they were talking, Butch had already flown back.
Spicy Flavor Fairy noticed Pork Rib Boss pulling out some vines from somewhere and asked in surprise, "Where did you get that?"
While Pork Rib Boss was wrapping the vines around a rock, he answered, "I grabbed them on the way up the mountain, thinking they might come in handy."
That\'s just like Pork Rib Boss, always thinking ahead.
After Butch flew back, he stayed in the air.
Now, except for the priests who could use magic, the other players couldn\'t do anything to him.
Butch taunted, "Now you see how powerful I am, right?"
He continued to cast fire breath down on them from above.
Pork Rib Boss told the others to hold the boss\'s attention for a while.
Meanwhile, he quietly moved behind Butch and threw the vine-wrapped rock at his wings.
Butch was laughing arrogantly and didn\'t notice someone silently coming up behind him.
By the time Butch heard the sound of something cutting through the air behind him, it was too late.
The vine that Pork Rib Boss had prepared wrapped tightly around Butch\'s wings, aided by the weight of the rock.
If the vine had trapped Butch\'s feet, he could have just cut it off.
But since it was wrapped around his wings, he couldn\'t turn around.
"What\'s going on?!"
Butch instinctively flapped his wings, trying to break free from the vines.
Master PungPong saw Pork Rib Boss struggling to hold onto the vine and quickly shouted, "Hurry up, help him!"
He rushed over himself, grabbing Pork Rib Boss, who was almost lifted off the ground.
Hearing this, the other players realized they needed to help too, and hurriedly pulled on Pork Rib Boss.
Pork Rib Boss called out, "Be careful with the pulling!"
The main goal was to prevent Butch from turning around and cutting the vine with his sword.
If they could do that, they would have him completely under control.
The rest of the players realized what was happening and took the opportunity to launch a full-on attack on the boss.
They wanted to deal as much damage as possible while Butch was distracted.
Butch couldn\'t understand how he, a noble Draconic race, was being held down by a group of people using a vine and couldn\'t break free.
He was so angry that he breathed fire at the ground beneath him, but no matter what he did, he couldn\'t hurt the people below him.
After experiencing a few of his breath attacks, the players began to understand his patterns and easily dodged the flames.
They even cheered, "The boss is going berserk! Keep attacking, he\'s almost down to his last health bar!"
Light-type magic didn\'t have any special effect against dragons, but with so many people attacking Butch all at once, it was overwhelming.
Butch felt like he was running out of strength, even without them saying so.
Finally, Butch collapsed to the ground like a fish out of water, too exhausted to move.
One of the players excitedly rushed forward, saying, "He\'s almost out of health!"
Butch glanced at them but didn\'t say anything.
The player who Butch glanced at crouched down, wanting to touch his wings and claws, but Pork Rib Boss said, "Don\'t kill him yet."
The other players were confused, "Why shouldn\'t we kill him?"
This was a dungeon boss, and if they couldn\'t kill the boss, would they still be able to clear the dungeon?
Pork Rib Boss patiently explained, "This game\'s dungeons and NPCs aren\'t like those in other games. The dungeons don\'t stay around forever; once we clear them, they will disappear."
He reminded them of how the demon army\'s vanguard team had worked the same way.
They had thought they could keep fighting the demons over and over, but after defeating the fifty demons, there was no more to fight, and they had been bored for days.
Thinking about it, this dungeon would probably end the same way.
The players considered this and asked, "If we don\'t kill him, are we supposed to take him back?"
They were puzzled about why they would keep a Draconid race who was hostile and had done so many terrible things.
Pork Rib Boss nodded, "Let\'s take him back first. I\'m sure Father Barry will have a way to control this dragon."
Butch\'s eyes darted around, and he began to form a plan, "Father Barry? I\'ve never heard of him. Are you all trained by this Priest?"
