The smoke cleared and all of the players died as a result of the explosion. In fact, it is what they want to do as the heavy decrease in their stats is making them take forever to kill the Two Headed Dragon of the 62nd Devil God.
The players soon revived in the safe zones that were not affected by the fire and fumes of the Two Headed Dragon of the 62nd Devil God. Just as they surmised, the effects of the Dragon Roar and Dragon Fear all vanished upon their death.
The only difficulty now is that the area around them is either a burning inferno or a toxic area that will melt any living thing in the vicinity. The players had no choice but to rely on their mounts in order to escape the safe zones or tip toe their way towards the Two Headed Dragon of the 62nd Devil God.
The Two Headed Dragon of the 62nd Devil God did not move from its location as it tried to recover some of its stamina that it lost from activating its breath attack to the fullest extent. What the SSS rank monster did not know is two of the teams have instantaneous travel available for them.
A magic circle and a dark spot in the northeast part of the map suddenly activated as two teams used a skill or spell for instantaneous movement. The two teams are the United States and Philippines national team.
The magic circle came from a trap that Dupe has set before the fight with the Two Headed Dragon of the 62nd Devil God. This trap, Trick Door, is special as it lasts for two hours and does not vanish even if she dies. It is a trap that connects two spaces using magic, but it is only good for one time use.
The dark spot is called Shadow Point and is similar to the Trick Door as it also connects two points, but it uses the shadow dimension. It is not a one-time use skill, but it needs to recharge every three hours as the shadows need to gather once more. No more than two Shadow Points can exist at the same time.
"I thought we were the only one that would arrive immediately, but it seems that we are mistaken." Totem stated as he looked at the direction of Apolaki's team.
Other players arrived early as well because they have closer resurrection points or have fast travel time due to their mounts. Although, the others have yet to arrive and only five teams are there at the moment. The United States, United Kingdom, Japan, China and Philippines are all the countries that managed to arrive first.
The Two Headed Dragon of the 62nd Devil God noticed the existences of the small ants and wondered how they returned back from the dead, but it did not matter to it. All the SSS rank monster needed to do is kill the ants once more, but it is currently resting its body as it pushed itself to the limit by executing numerous breath attacks.
The United States national team moved first as Poison Ivy immediately scattered numerous seeds from her soulbound that just also revived. She also summoned her snake vine soulbound as a mount for her travel. She summoned a soulbound that has not been seen before in the competition and it is a monster plant called Mourning Glory.
The Mourning Glory monster plant is like a giant sunflower that has a red center and black petals. It is also a bit different from the monster plants that need to root themselves to the ground as it is actually flying in the sky. It seemed like a dark version of a sun instead of a sunflower when viewed from afar.
[The Mourning Glory is flying in the sky and smells the scent of death from the surroundings.]
[The Mourning Glory is overjoyed. All allies will receive a 50% buff in damage dealt to enemies.]
[The Mourning Glory is overjoyed. All allies will receive a 20% damage reduction.]
[As long as the Mourning Glory is in the battlefield, the buffs will not disappear.]
The soulbound that Poison Ivy summoned had increased the power of all her team members. She is not the only one that buffed her whole team as Totem channeled the spirits of the earth and wind.
[All allies will gain 20% damage reduction for the duration of one hour.]
[All allies will gain 30% increase speed and reaction time for the duration of one hour.]
The United States national team is now showing everyone their teamwork that they never did before. Poison Ivy summoned plants that tried to bind the Two Headed Dragon of the 62nd Devil God while it is strengthened by Aisha that is an elf using her blessing of nature.
Shado vanished and reappeared next to the right eye of the left head of the Two Headed Dragon of the 62nd Devil God. He tried to stab it, but the SSS rank monster immediately shut its eye and attempted to spew poison towards him, but Null deactivated the skill by using a spell that overloads magic.
Dragon breaths are magic as well which is why Null is able to cancel it, but it also came at a cost since she spat out blood from the feedback. Her team members did not let the chance that she gave them go to waste as Shado switched attacks and aimed for the right head instead. He managed to stab the tongue of the SSS rank monster.
The left head noticed this and tried to bite Shado but a dozen of dandelion seeds suddenly arrived at the face of the Two Headed Dragon of the 62nd Devil God. The dandelion seeds exploded and clouded the vision of the SSS rank monster. It gave a chance for Shado to quickly escape from the attack range of the dragon.
This exchange that happened made the crowd cheer as they are now seeing real team play of professionals.. Every moment is exciting and breathtaking as one cannot predict what may happen.
