"You lowly humans…you tricked me? How dare you…"
The half-dragon raged as she looked at her stats. She had been reduced to level 20, the highest level among her opponents. This disrespect was not something she would endure.
She immediately blasted the humans using the mana in her body, but Andrew was able to put up a shield in time to block her attack.
It caused the half-dragon to grit her teeth in anger.
"Tsk, so annoying…but fine. If you want to play like this, then I will crush you like this."
She declared before manifesting a club out of her inventory. She immediately headed toward Lilianna, who was defenseless, but Andrew blocked her with his staff. His shield tried to trap the half-dragon inside, but she jumped out of the way...only to be attacked by Emperor.
Emperor's sword cleaved the air in front of the half-dragon, but she opened her wings to quickly reorient herself and hit Emperor in his side.
Luckily, the human immediately moved his sword to the right place, protecting it in time.
"What annoyances. Even if I have leveled down, I am still 10 levels higher than you all. Do you really think you all can defeat me? All you can do is struggle."
She declared before she opened her palm and started to gather mana. It started to concentrate and Andrew immediately realized that a large-scale attack was coming their way.
"Everyone, come close to me. I will try to shield us. Lilianna, buff me right now."
Andrew told Lilianna and she quickly cast her buff. Andrew cast his own buff to get as strong of a shield as he could.
[You have been buffed by Player Lilianna]
[You have buffed your own skills.]
The huge attack rained down over them and Andrew's shield shook as it collided with the pressure.
"Clara, try to add a…little support…"
Andrew told her and Clara nodded before forming a dome of plants right under the shield to support it.
It held out well against the attack and when the bombardment ended, Andrew instantly threw the shield down and attacked the half-dragon.
"What the…how did you survive…?"
The half-dragon questioned as she noticed that no one had been harmed by her attack. Because of this, she was taken by surprise and Andrew's attack collided with her head-on.
Emperor wasted no time in rushing toward her and finishing the job Andrew had started. But he was a little slow and the half-dragon jumped back in time and recovered a little bit.
"Tsk, how annoying. It seems like I will need to crush you once more… why is it not working? What do you mean cooldown?"
The half-dragon seemed new to being a boss and looked at her skill's cooldown on the system screen. She had never had that problem in her normal life.
Currently, her lack of understanding and her inexperience were the biggest factors that could contribute to her downfall.
"Ugh, this is so annoying. Why am I getting limited like this? Do you think this is fair?"
The half-dragon raged and her energy filled the area. The pressure pressed down on all humans, but it was not enough to keep them down.
Lilianna quickly fired off a few shots at the half-dragon and she instinctively rushed away from them, only to run right into Emperor's line of sight.
Sword met claws as the half-dragon was pushed back a little. She managed to push Emperor back, only to become a target for Andrew's magic.
It collided right with her side, causing her to start bleeding.
"How does it feel to get beaten so badly by pests like us? Did you ever imagine we would push you into a corner like this?"
Andrew asked as he readied another attack to take the half-dragon down. His mana surged through his body before his attack engulfed the half-dragon. She had no time to dodge it.
It did not do much damage, but it was enough to cause her to feel the slight hint of pain when she moved.
Andrew attacked her a few more times, almost as if he was taunting her to snap back at him. But she was not able to do that.
The more he taunted her, the more the half-dragon looked like she wanted to snap him in half. In the end, she decided to forgo everything else and focus on taking at least one of them down.
4-vs-1 was too disadvantageous for her. Even if she was 10 levels higher, she was being pushed around. But a single elimination would change that.
'Which one…? Which one should I choose?'
She looked around, before deciding to take her chance with Clara. She was the only one who was standing alone.
Her wing tilted, allowing her to change directions and Andrew immediately noticed it. He was familiar with half-dragon anatomy and was easily able to notice where she was headed toward.
"Tsk, where are you going? Come back here and fight me-!"
Emperor asked as he took after her as well. He tried to hit her with his sword, but the half-dragon had too much of a lead on him.
Andrew rushed toward Clara as well, and he immediately threw up the barrier in front of her to protect Clara. He barely made it in time, but his buffs expired right in time for the attack.
'Shit-! Looks like I will have to take this chance-'
Andrew made sure to plant himself firmly in front of Clara to shield her and he immediately noticed the half-dragon's eyes lighten up at that.
"Caught you-"
The half-dragon's smile widened as she continued her attack. Lilianna tried to shoot her but it was of no use.
She collided with the shield and it held for a few seconds before it collapsed.
A fanged smile filled Andrew's vision before a clawed hand rushed through his chest.
"One down…three more to go. This fight will be easy now."
The half-dragon spoke as she pulled her hand out of Andrew's chest.
