Chapter 614 Dragon (6)
While thinking for a while about how to do that without relying on his magic relics, Billy considered his options. He was pretty certain that he would have helped those three somehow since it was clear that the monster wouldn't leave him alone to prepare a bigger attack.
"I guess I should make and enhance an arrow out of chromium…" Billy thought. "This should increase Meryl's firing power tremendously."
The only problem with that was the fact that those three still were shocked, they were helping Meryl, but they were doing a half-assed job, at best. Billy wasn't the type to give motivating speeches, so he decided to wait for a while and see if they could recover if that didn't happen, then he would solve everything by himself. He already had a clear plan in mind, after all. He just needed to improvise a little.
All of a sudden, Billy flew toward the monster and increased his speed tremendously, to the point where he almost attacked the beast. However, the dragon reacted on time and changed the direction of Mana Cannon. Fortunately, Billy was with Mana Shield on, and he activated Reflect. At first, Billy began to be pushed back since the power of the spell was that massive. Still, he resisted because he knew what was going to happen… it cost around twenty percent of all the mana he could use, even considering his reserves, but then Reflect eventually sent all the energy back to the dragon.
The explosion had been so powerful that even Billy could see the vibrations caused by mana in the air. It looked like the space was distorting around… such was the power of those spells. He took a good look at that with Magic Eyes in order to learn what had happened while the dragon was falling down. This time, the attack completely took the beast by surprise, and the entire dungeon trembled when it hit the floor. Several of its scales began to crack, and the beast was bleeding from many spots.
"HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The dragon screamed in anger.
The dragon picked a weird time to heal itself. Still, that made Billy realize that the monster was enraged, but it would never lose its ability to think clearly. Still, before the monster could recover completely, Billy charged at it again. The dragon opened its mouth, but then Billy enhanced his strength and used Power Throw and aimed his glaive at the creature's eye. The beast was forced to move its head to the side in order to avoid the attack, and that forced it to stop its own as well.
Billy used that chance to approach the monster and recover his weapon, but before that, he used Fierce Blast. The powerful wave of energy prevented the monster from moving its head, and then Billy had the chance to grab his weapon and then Aim for the beast's eyes. However, at the last moment, the dragon used both frontal claws to block his away, and then at the same time, it slashed the claws at him. Although Billy blocked the attack, he felt the shockwave of the movements cutting his arms and legs in some parts a bit… He had done well in using Enhanced Body and Fierce Aura before… Otherwise, he would have been in trouble.
The wounded burned quite a bit, so Billy clicked his tongue in annoyance. Still, the dragon soon attacked again, and before Billy could react. Fortunately, a powerful arrow flew to the enemy's head and stopped the creature.
"It seems that three morons finally are back," Billy thought.
At the same time, Billy used Lightning with his glaive as a conductor to hit the new wound on the monster's face. Some blood was falling from it, so it caused some extra damage and annoyed the dragon. That was what Billy wanted in order to get some time to fly away from the beast.
"All right… I guess I should do this," Billy thought and began to forge an arrow of chromium.
Billy had never done that before, but the idea of enhancing a single arrow crossed his mind. The only problem was that such a projectile would be single-use and then would be destroyed. While having that much power in a moment seemed nice, Billy was the type who would rather have constant power… that was why he never enhanced or focused on using projectiles.
"I can't be stingy with this… but should I trust those guys with such a powerful tool?" Billy thought.
Billy would trust his most powerful arrow in Lily's hands. She was the best archer that he knew… even without those crazy innate abilities, she was pretty close to Meryl's level. With his help to compensate for that, he was certain that he could surpass her, but… Billy had to trust Meryl now.
"Oh, well… This will be a good test," Billy thought and then sighed.
Billy began to pour mana on the arrow in a hurry since the dragon began to fly and chase him again. It would be better if they land a surprise attack since that usually causes a lot more damage to the opponent.
Chromium Giant Arrow Lv 125
Strength + 1200, Dexterity + 1200
Pierce Lv 20, Bleed Lv 20, Critical Extra Damage Lv 20
Durability: 100/100
Billy used one-third of all the mana he could store to create that. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was an arrow able to evaporate a mountain in the right hands.
The level of the effects was a bit low, but they were excellent. They could ignore defense, cause bleed over time and even cause extra critical damage. All archers wanted arrows with those kinds of effects, if they certainly would make their lives easier… Nevertheless, Billy hid the arrows on his back and kept flying away from the monster until the other three attacked the beast again with their combined attacks and got the chance that he was looking for…
