Chapter 510: Bone Dragon
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
A Mist Dragon, as a Lesser Dragon, wasn't such big a threat in itself.
But the people present knew that the one causing them so much trouble was definitely a powerful Legend Wizard.
This Mist Dragon should be his pet.
And from the appearance of this avalanche, this terrain must have been altered completely.
The avalanche that the group of four had met with last time wasn't on the same scale at all.
If they didn't escape, then despite being Legends, they would still be buried forever under the snow!
The four escaped in panic, exposing their trail.
Marvin and the Paladin coincidentally glanced back at the same time with disdainful expressions.
These people were truly opportunistic, running away after seeing that things were getting difficult.
But they also didn't have time to bother with these people.
The avalanche was rushing down pretty fast. It felt like a stampede was engulfing everything in its wake!
And a strong pressure was pushing down in the sky.
Marvin could feel that there was a gravity field affecting the sky above the mountain.
Whether it was a flying creature or someone using a flying skill, they would fall to the ground due to the effects of the force field.
And they were higher in the mountain than the four adventurers that ran off, so it would be impossible for them to flee now.
And in addition to the avalanche surging down at them, there was the Mist Dragon on the side that would definitely not let them go.
The fierce winds of the snowstorm whistled violently, but were unable to block Marvin's sight. He calmly locked onto the Mist Dragon's location, both hands already on the handles of the curved daggers at his waist.
He had put away the Greyhawk Staff.
He had been pretending to be a Great Druid, but at this critical time, he would still use his true strength as a Ruler of the Night!
The Mist Dragon's silhouette was illusory and it was had to keep track of under the cover of the snowstorm.
Fortunately, with his astonishing eyesight, Marvin was able to perceive the movements of the elusive shadow.
Marvin turned and shouted, "I'll deal with the Mist Dragon, can you withstand the avalanche?"
The Paladin had a surprised expression on his face.
He hadn't thought that Marvin would still be this relaxed in such a situation.
He had been planning to work on his own, since he figured that the youth next to him would likely panic and be of no help. After all, the situation looked quite dire.
But he hadn't expected the youth to step up and volunteer to deal with the Mist Dragon.
Mist Dragons weren't that easy to handle, especially in such an extreme climate. It would be able to merge with the snowstorm, making it difficult to keep track of it. Once found an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, it would inevitably result in a serious injury.
In these circumstances, taking the initiative to attack was still dangerous.
But the Paladin reacted pretty quickly and understood Marvin's goal.
'He is thinking of easing my burden. '
Griffin immediately realized that Marvin was looking at that weak girl on his back, who made it inconvenient for him to go on the offensive.
The girl was still cursed, so who knew what sudden movements might do to her body?
Thinking of this, the Paladin's heart couldn't help but feel warm.
He silently nodded at Marvin.
Marvin let out a breath. He then disappeared.
The crazy surge of snow was about to crash down on the Paladin and bury him. Only the huge advancing torrent could be seen.
But suddenly, a golden light burst out!
Truth Scale!
A dazzling semicircle of light formed in an instant, supported by the shadow of the Truth Scale. The snow around him instantly evaporated!
Griffin's hair was disheveled, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.
Clearly, even with the power of a Paladin, it was difficult to handle a magic-made avalanche.
The snow coursed around the area covered by the Truth Scale and continued falling down past them!
"Woosh!"
A shadow jumped out from the mist formed by the snow hitting the shield and kept flickering from place to place, following some tracks!
...
At the foot of the mountain, the four adventurers looked at the mighty shield made by the Truth Scale.
"He was actually so powerful."
Fenno's tone was bitter.
If he had known earlier, he would have decided to stay with the other two!
As long as he hid behind the cover, he wouldn't have been affected by the avalanche.
Now, even though the four of them had escaped out of the range of the snow, they still faced another challenge.
A green-clothed woman was smilingly looking at them.
She had a powerful magical aura, and her eyes had a hard-to-conceal feeling of temptation.
"Come out, Puppy."
At her call, a Gate suddenly appeared, and a sinister aura came out of it.
The four adventurers held their breaths.
They saw a two-headed Bone Dragon with strange heads. One head was red while the other one black.
"Two Headed Bone Dragon Claudy..." Fenno let out the Dragon's name with a groan.
This wasn't an ordinary name in the Crimson Wasteland. Nobody knew how many Legend powerhouses had died under that variant Bone Dragon's claws.
For a long time, people only dared to move as groups in the southern part of the Delusion Swamp because of that Bone Dragon.
Afterwards, the Bone Dragon suddenly disappeared, and the Delusion Swamp became a bit safer.
No one knew where it went, though some speculated that it was slumbering.
But it now seemed that this wasn't the case.
That Bone Dragon had clearly been subdued!
And it was called [Puppy]... Although that woman had high magical power, she clearly wasn't strong enough to subdue a terrifying existence like Claudy.
She must have an even more powerful backer!
The four lost all their intent to fight as they thought of that.
They looked at each other, smiling bitterly.
Rather than their situation now, it would have been better to still be halfway up the mountain fighting alongside Marvin and Griffin. They would have been a lot safer with the Truth Scale.
It was a pity that regrets were useless.
The woman sneered at them, "You were warned last time, and you still dared to come back."
"This time, none of you will leave!"
"Roar!"
The Bone Dragon's two heads were raised in succession, and a black whirlwind burst out from its wings and gushed toward the group of people!
At the same time, another fight had begun halfway up the mountain!
...
The snowstorm was still just as fierce after the avalanche passed, but it couldn't hinder Marvin's vision.
He caught sight of the Mist Dragon hiding behind a rock and trying to merge with the surroundings.
But it wasn't aware that a pair of eyes were already watching it.
His Stealth was no joke; Marvin easily arrived undetected behind the Mist Dragon, and while it was preparing for its second attack, he ruthlessly launched his own.
