My Girlfriend is an S-Class Adventurer-Chapter 279 A Living Legend
The sound of the impact of what landed was so loud that it resonated for miles, like thunder, and powerful enough to cause earthquakes that were felt beyond the plains.
Amidst the dust raised by the impact, Meredith jumped back, obeying Luke's order for them to disperse.
However, Wanney couldn't move even a muscle, not from fear or surprise, but because he already thought he was dead as soon as he heard the sound that cut through the clouds. Since Luke couldn't let this man die yet because of the valuable information he could offer him, Luke grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pulled him backwards. 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚w𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m
As soon as the dust rose, it too was spread by a flapping of wings.
At that moment, the members of the trio could see the appearance of what had landed in front of them.
'It's exactly as they say... the skin is black as the darkest of coals, the muscles larger than that of any other kind of monster, and the aura even worse than that of a whole horde of monsters.' Wanney thought.
What was in front of them had the body of a giant lizard, crocodile scales, claws even bigger than swords, and a tail so long that just moving it breaks the sound barrier, not to mention the pair of long wings on this creature's back. What was in front of them was not just a monster, but a legitimate dragon.
"Damn it, Meredith, back off right now!" Luke immediately ordered. "That's a drag—" He couldn't even finish speaking before the dragon made its first attack.
The dragon opened its gigantic jaw and a beam of energy suddenly shot out. Luke had no idea if that beam could seriously hurt him or if it would just make a few scratches, but he preferred not to test that because of the legends surrounding the dragon stories. Luke pushed Wanney to the left and jumped to the right, thus deflecting the attack.
The half-wolf got up quickly and started running towards the dragon's paws without hesitation. He had read in a book that dragons' weak points were their size, which made them weak against large groups or parties of adventurers, such as Clan raids against Dungeoneering Floor Bosses, and at the same time that there was this information there was the information that dragon's paws were the main targets of groups. So, Luke ran as fast as he could towards the muscular legs of the monster.
At over fifteen feet in size, the dragon was the largest creature Luke could remember ever seeing, so it would not be an easy opponent.
"<Eye of Horus>." Luke used the Legendary Skill.
The dead fields around him were shrouded in a thin layer of mist, which prevented him from seeing beyond a limit of fifty meters. This skill gave him time and calm to breathe and think.
'I need to keep Meredith safe and so does the man. Still, it is a very big responsibility to take care of two lives while facing a Dragon. I don't even know if I can beat one even if I were fully equipped and prepared.' Luke deduced, taking a closer look at the creature's features.
The dragon's scales glowed in a metallic and black, as if they were a pure and freakish ore, also very imposing and frightening in appearance.
'Humph! Anyway, it was remiss of me not to have thought that this might occur. I will now find the best way around it all.'
Luke used the lines that formed the Dimension of Horus to create two clones of himself. This was the most he could do after such a grueling trip, even with his little time left to continue with the <Eye of Horus> active.
By the end of an hour, all three half-wolves within the dimension were drenched in sweat. At this time, they looked at each other and had the same thought, it was impossible to defeat the dragon alone. Of course, they were not basing this conclusion only on the dragon's first move, which seemed frighteningly powerful, but also on the way it shot for hundreds of meters above the clouds to the ground.
Besides that in case the dragon wanted to escape, he would be able to, because other than Meredith's bow and arrow, Luke didn't have a way to attack from long distance, that was his weak point.
'If there isn't a way to defeat it, there must be a way for us to stay alive.' Luke thought positively.
It didn't take long for Luke to actually find what he was looking for among the millions of variables in the battle. After that, he deactivated the <Eye of Horus> and continued his run towards the dragon's legs.
Instead of summoning the Behemoth Axe as he normally did, Luke reached into the side belt of his pants and pulled out three knives, which he threw in the same second.
The knives flew towards the dragon's wide face, and were immediately repelled when they collided with the monster's scales, showing how weak the weapons were in comparison with a dragon's natural protection. This was the result Luke was already expecting, as the dragon immediately looked at Luke, not having time to pay attention to the other two.
Meredith noticed Luke's intentions, and although she didn't agree, she didn't question them at that moment. She ran over to Wanney, and helped him up.
"Am I alive? How am I alive?" Wanney wondered aloud, looking at the huge dragon practically beside him.
"He saved you, thank him after he kills the monster." Meredith pointed at Luke, as she pushed to help the white-haired man.
"No matter how strong your boyfriend is, he can't defeat a dragon."
With her face slightly flushed, the half-fox didn't disagree with the man. "Let's back off a bit, we'll just be a burden here. If you dare try to attack me, know that I will not be merciful."
