Absolute Death Game-Chapter 510 - 10 Battle Upgrade
Two days later, at the foot of Flame Mountain.
The Qingyang Guild's main force had all arrived, preparing for the most earth-shattering BOSS battle in history—to them, at least. Guilds that had established empires had naturally experienced all of this before, but for these solo players, being able to slay a dragon one day was already a shock to the heavens and earth, let alone an elite dragon.

In those two days, everyone from the Qingyang Guild had been busy. On one hand, Xiao Buli led his brothers to work overtime to turn the materials they had gathered into equipment needed for the dragon slaying. On the other hand, the members went out in groups to hunt down monsters they could defeat in the forest, grinding daily to improve their capabilities as much as possible. The hunters even upgraded their pets to the most powerful monsters within their abilities. These monsters were insignificant in front of a red dragon, but could at least take a hit for their masters in a critical moment.
"Alright, I believe everyone has been impatient these past two days, so I won't waste words. Below, I will distribute the equipment we've made during this period. I'll clarify in advance that because these items were prepared specifically for this battle and because we were short on time, we didn't make many of them. Therefore, distribution will be according to everyone's professions and skills, with the main goal being the success of our dragon slaying. So whether you get anything or not, or if you like what you get or not, is beyond consideration. I hope everyone can control themselves. Also, these pieces of equipment belong to the guild, so after the battle, they will be collected and auctioned off along with the spoils of war. If anyone likes them, they can bid for them after the fight," Xiao Buli spoke sensibly, and everyone understood and agreed. It's better to have the ugly truth upfront; Xiao Buli prevented any possible resentment from festering and affecting their performance in the battle by explaining everything first.
The first items to be distributed were several dragon bone bows made from dragon bones and sinews, naturally assigned to the hunter players. Since there were too many hunters, the bows were given to the strongest among them to maximize their effects. While the other hunters looked on enviously, they knew they were only borrowing the bows for now and could always bid for them later, so no one protested.
Then came a few dragon tooth daggers, which were distributed among the higher-level close-combat players to enhance their damage output. These daggers only increased damage, so they were good to have, but not a big deal without. Thus, other players weren't too envious.
Fire Resistance: MAX.
Ice Resistance: -50.
When everyone heard the health points of the Red Dragon, they were indeed shocked, but the other stats seemed to be about the same as those of the Little Red Dragon, except that the Armor was twice as high. They estimated that the battle would not be short, it could last one or two hours.
"Everyone should have noticed the Red Dragon's weakness is still its low Ice Resistance, so just like last time," said one, "those who can cast Ice Element spells, just greet it with your best shots.
Now, let's introduce the dragon's skills:
Immortal Body LV10: Health points increase tenfold. That's why the Dragon Clan always has such high health points.
Flame Dragon Breath LV10: Conical area of effect attack. However, since we all have high Fire Resistance, we don't need to worry too much about this skill, as long as we're not hit by it frequently.
Divine Dragon Tail Swing LV10: A common melee skill of the Dragon Clan with a knockback effect; there's a high chance of delivering a crushing attack. All participants need to avoid the dragon's tail, as with the strength of this dragon, anyone, including the MT, would be killed instantly if hit, with no chance of survival.
Claw Strike LV10: Basic attack skill. Extremely damaging, everyone, including the tank classes, would be killed instantly—well, except for me.
Claw Strike - Grapple LV10: Claw Strike can trigger this on a successful hit, grabbing a target and causing continuous crushing damage. Those with enough Strength could break free; otherwise, they would be crushed to death. Considering the strength level of the Great Red Dragon, it's unlikely anyone could break free, so everyone should avoid being grabbed. If someone does get caught, the ranged damage group needs to be alert and focus fire on that dragon's claw, as futile as it might be, it's better than nothing.
Dragon Prestige LV6: A passive skill unique to the Dragon Clan, it pressures nearby enemies, reducing their Attributes by 60%. This would have been the dragon's biggest challenge, but it's negated by the Dragon Slayer title, which grants immunity to the effect.
Dragon Roar LV6: Emits a daunting roar that may cause nearby enemies to fall into a state of fear and flee chaotically. It can be resisted if one's spiritual power reaches a certain level, but considering the level of this Great Red Dragon, it's highly unlikely. The area of effect will also be especially large, so everyone should equip Control Removal Skills. You all have skills like Rage of Chiyou and Wild Heart, right?" These should be considered more basic Control Removal Skills.
Several hunters nodded in response, as Wild Heart is almost a mandatory skill for the hunter class and most experienced players would have it. However, given the varied strengths of the team, there were still quite a few people without Control Removal Skills.
Xiao Buli nodded in understanding; this was within his expectations: "No problem. I've made a few Exorcism Staves in the last couple of days. During the fight, each of us in the magic system will have one to help dispel fear if anyone is affected."
After distributing the Exorcism Staves and addressing the fear issue, Xiao Buli continued, "Devour LV10: Devours a target of large size or smaller, dealing continuous fire damage over 100 seconds.
Devour - Death Spit LV8: Can be triggered after a successful devour, expelling the devoured target and causing blunt hit damage based on the distance spit."
Considering the Great Red Dragon's Attributes, anyone hit by this skill is as good as dead. So, everyone's on their own; stay away from the dragon's mouth. That's about it for the basic skills of the Red Dragon. If there's anything you didn't catch, you can ask now." Xiao Buli scanned the crowd. As this battle was a matter of life and death, everyone paid close attention, and Xiao Buli had considered potential issues in the fight thoroughly, offering corresponding solutions. Therefore, no one raised any questions. (. Mobile users please read at .)
