Rise of the Undead Legion Chapter 476 - Blue Scale

Chapter 476 - Blue Scale

Dave led his party forward and into the next section of the dungeon. Having safely crossed the bridge, the remaining Doom Knights followed with ease thanks Du'Rhaza's efforts and ice magic.

The lava fish decided to not go out anymore as the battle against the ice wielding undead was a lost cause. Even in this heat, where chaos ruled, the Lich's magic was abundant and powerful. It could disregard the fires of this area and a.s.sault the very essence of the lava creatures as their mortal enemies.

Another tunnel extended ahead of them, Dave mounted Grumpy and the group moved forward. He looked at his character info, his temperature meter was still rising. "it's getting hotter, is everyone's alright?" Dave asked.

"Yeah, the potion works well," Lone Arrow replied.

"Good, the next chamber is the Chaos Centipede's chamber. I don't know if there will be another centipede boss there or not, so we'll have to be ready." Dave said.

"Right."

Dave's party headed through the tunnel until they exited into an extremely large room. It had high ceiling and extended to hundreds of meters in all directions. It had several lava pools spread all over the place.

"Don't get near those ponds, those d.a.m.nned fish can still jump from them. Also, be careful if you see any crab like creatures."

"Crab? Haven't you said that there was a centipede here?" Ralph asked.

"Yeah, well, it's a weird creature actually. It's like a dozen crabs that attach themselves together and make a centipede. Just be careful, it's pretty tough, poisonous and has a good deal of resistances."

"Right then. So far I can't see anything," Perfect Shot said.

"Good, let's keep going, Du'Rhaza, how are the boyz hanging."

"So far, I'm barely expending any magic to fight off the heat. But I bet that once we go deeper, I'll start losing more mana than I could generate." Du'Rahaza said.

"Yeah, sorry about that, it's going to be one h.e.l.l of a fight."

"Worry not young prince, I haven't had much excitement in a long time."

The group kept moving following after Dave, the Chaos Centipede boss area was surprisingly quiet and calm. It seems that the creature was a one-time sp.a.w.n. And the real dungeon boss was the Dogaron at the bottom of these floors.

"When are we gonna start fighting man, all, we've been doing is walking." Flanker complained.

"Soon, just have some patience. Perfect, can you do some scouting. Just be careful. And if you reach the Dogaron's boss room, whatever you do, don't enter alone." Dave said.

"Okay." Perfect shot nodded and bolted forward and ahead of the party.

"Why'd you send him alone?" Demeri asked.

Dave felt slightly awkward for it was the first time they talked since he flat out rejected her for Zoe.

"He's the party's scout. And from here to the next boss room is only one single pathway. He will probably not meet any other monsters, and even if he did, I trust Perfect to handle himself well and not die."

Demeri nodded and resumed her silence.

Zoe on the other hand lifted a brow, smiled and then looked away from Dave, probably formulating a recipient for an upcoming headache.

After a couple of minutes, Perfect Shot's voice came from the voice-com.

"Nothing's here man, I don't see any monster or boss."

"It's alright, trust me, the Dogaron is there. He's probably camouflaged. Just don't go into the boss room and wait for us."

"Okay then I'll be waiting at the door."

Dave once again led everyone into the tunnel and toward the Dogaron's resting area.

"Start applying buffs, the upcoming battle will be hard."

"Harder than your battle with Raijin and Fujin?" Fortress asked.

"Probably." Dave added.

"How come? Those are two G.o.ds, and you still kicked their a.s.s, the Dogaron is of the same level, and it's one against all of us."

"It's different. Against Raijin and Fujin, I had Tiny, my legacy and a lot of high cooldown skills. As for now. It's going to be a battle of attrition."

"I kinda forgot about that. But we're enough to cover the difference." Flanker said.

"Let's just hope." Dave commented.

After a few more minutes, the party could see flanker standing right at the boss room's entrance.

"Hey guys," Perfect turned, his back to the dungeon's door and faced the players, "I told you man, there was no boss here."

"And I told you, he is--- DUCK!" Dave shouted.

Perfect's reaction was… perfect, he ducked under a claw that ripped the cave's entrance. The Dogaron had been right behind him, fully camouflaged with the color of the Oprenieum mining area.

The Dogaron a monster of a creature it was a blue scaly wolf-like creature. Flickers of lightning bounced over and across its scaly blue hide as it swung a spiked, club-like tail from side to side in antic.i.p.ation of a kill.

The wolf shaped monster opened alligator jaws and howled at the party.

"s.h.i.+t!"

Lore

The Dogaron was told to be one of the relatives to the infamous guardian and hound of h.e.l.l, the Mythical creature Cerberus. But evidence to the relations.h.i.+p between the two creatures stop at the fact that they both live in a h.e.l.lish environment. A far cry from a concrete indication that the two are of the same family, however, this does not mean that the Dogaron is any less dangerous. It still ranks high among the Underworld's mightiest beings.

"Charge!" Dave called and ushered Grumpy to move ahead.

The Dogaron swiped again with its paw, the size of it alone was enough to crush Grumpy to a paste, but Dave jumped forward, poised The Cursed s.h.i.+eld of Ajax in front of him and used [Absorb], taking in the Dogaron's attack and instantly followed with a [Reject] smacking the beast in the face with his own paw attack.

The blast was enough to both surprise the creature, and send it rolling on the ground for several hundred meters.

The opening that Dave had created was enough for Perfect Shot to regain his composure and the Doom Knights to start funneling into the boss room. "Hurry up, everyone get in position. Flanker, stay in the back, ready up your heals. Du'Rhaza I'll need your ice magic at the ready. Boyz! Charge that motherf.u.c.ker!"

The Doom Knights ran forward, b.a.s.t.a.r.d swords drawn and their tower s.h.i.+elds ready to protect them from any attack.

The Dogaron found itself surrounded by a hundred Doom Knight, all fearsome foes that any other player on the world of Conquest will have to be very weary of. A doom Knight was a nightmare to even the Guild Masters, but to the Dogaron, they were nothing but pesky nuisances. Showcased by the first swing of the Dogaron's tail. It bore through the Doom Knight's ranks, smas.h.i.+ng them aside like if they were made of paper.

"s.h.i.+t!" Dave cursed, "I'll take the front, cover me guys, Blaster, Fortress with me, everyone else a.s.sist us from the distance."
