Despite its massive size, the dragon moved much faster than any of them had expected.

Although it was called a bone dragon, it was not a dragon made out of bones like one would expect from its name. It did have bones all over its body, but to be more precise, the mythical creature was a dragon with bones covering its entire body like armor.

The speed at which the bone dragon moved was a big surprise for them to behold.

After it killed Lodos with just one move, it once again tilted its head up and roared. The creature then looked around and swept its sight around. Fear was instilled in whoever met its eyes. Its sharp gaze made them feel as if it was looking for its next victim.

When its eyes went to look in Emery's direction, unconsciously his heart skipped a beat. He was sure the bone dragon was going to attack him next. Fortunately, the dragon decided to charge in a different direction.

Its current target was Micah's team.

When the dragon went toward the arrogant crystal acolyte, Micah was standing next to a woman with long brown hair, a privileged acolyte who was holding a golden bow as a weapon.

The bow appeared to be a normal tier 4 bow, but Emery noticed there was something unique about the three arrows that she was pulling from her quiver.

The arrowheads each had a line of certain writing that glowed when the woman pulled the string. With a quick aim, she swiftly released them, while jumping backwards.

All three arrows dashed like lightning bolts, creating a crackling sound and accurately hitting the bone dragon's head, and surprisingly exploding on impact.

Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom!

"Rune stone arrows!" Chumo could not help but exclaim in awe when he saw them.

Rune stone arrows were powerful enhanced arrows that normally cost 1,000 spirit stones each. It was something that clearly could only be afforded by privileged acolytes.

The bone dragon roared again when the explosion occurred, but the arrows only managed to delay its movement for a very brief moment, before it swiftly came out of the smoke and charged toward the archer.

As soon as Micah noticed this, he quickly jumped in front of it and immediately cast his famous [Crystal Barrier] to block the charge.

The arrogant Micah focused all of his spells in front of him creating a double layer crystal to stop the monster.

Crack

Unfortunately, the famous and powerful [Crystal Barrier] was not the best defense against a powerful physical tackle by such a huge creature. It was instantly shattered into a thousand pieces right after the bone dragon made contact with it, wounding Micah and causing him to be thrown back a few steps. Fortunately, the barrier still managed to delay the dragon, allowing the brown-haired archer to use an agility spell to carry the wounded Micah away and disappear from the dragon's sight.

Rooooaaaarrrrr!

Having lost sight of the one who shot those arrows at it, the bone dragon once again swept its sight around to look for another target.

However, unlike before, they were more prepared. Orycon, who was near, knew he would be the next target. When the dragon moved toward his team, he instantly jumped toward the dragon's blindside and attacked the creature with his large tier 4 broadsword.

Clank!! Clankk!!

Emery knew just how heavy Orycon's swings were combined with that greatsword, but it appeared his swings were unable to create scratches on the monster's body.

The dragon was about to launch a counterattack, but Emery saw a beam channeled toward Orycon from the privileged acolyte that was part of his team. In that instant, the huge guy was able to move twice as fast as he normally could.

From the looks of it, that beam was a high-tier buff spell, a combination of the lightning and wind elements. It was a rare spell that not many could cast.

Not only was Orycon strong and had great techniques, but he was also smart. Despite the dragons roaring with speed and each hit would severely wound him, Orycon bravely kept his distance close around the back of the bone dragon's head. The best spot to hit and dodge such a creature's attacks.

However, a moment later, the dragon's sharp bone tail swiftly swung at him from behind. The guy was barely able to dodge its ruthless attack, unfortunately, his shoulder was torn apart from the blade-like dragon tail.

A large chunk of his flesh was gone. Orycon was forced to retreat. It would only be suicide if he forced himself to fight in this condition. Despite his attempt, it appeared he was not fast enough as the tail quickly charged at him once more.

Everyone could see, it was probably the end of him, however at the last moment just before he was about to be crushed by the dragon, a space behind him was distorted and a portal was opened followed by an arm pulling him into it.

Right after, the wounded Orycon laid wounded on the ground just in front of Emery.

He was a little surprised by Emery's action, but he did not dwell on his surprise or injuries and quickly asked Emery to transport his teammate that was left near the dragon,

He was a bald, skinny man, who was apparently Orycon's twin brother, Orion. As soon as he arrived with Emery's spatial gate, he quickly cast a powerful healing spell on the wounded Orycon.

One big and one skinny, The two did not look alike at all, but it was not the time to talk about such a matter. As Emery's group had become big, it became the center of the dragon's main attention.

Even from afar, the dragon's eyes could clearly be seen looking at him. It opened its wing trying to head towards him.

However, before it could fly toward him, a bright flaming chain-like whip suddenly swung toward its wing, restricting the dragon's movement from behind.

It was Annara's group. She smiled at Emery as the two made eye contact before she pulled another fire whip that swiftly bound the dragon's other wing. Following her move, her team quickly charged at the dragon.

Emery also thought about helping them handle the bone dragon, but someone stopped him before he could make a move.

It was Roran Harlight.

"You really don't change, do you, Emery? Always such a good guy, However, if you really want to beat this dragon, you should follow my advice."
