The whole scene was quite contrived, but Lu Li didn't even crack a smile .
Even Lu Li could understand the intention of Thief Krakauer, so his comrades must have definitely understood too . There was no way that Krakauer and the others would be able to escape this dragon that was stronger than them . He said that he would fight so that the others would have an opportunity to escape .
As the dragon's scale-covered tail slammed down, Danfloss was thrown into the air .
"The Tank!" Danfoss exclaimed at Lu Li .
Lu Li quickly took out the tank from his backpack and helped Danfoss drive it, launching a barrage of shells as soon as he entered .
The power of this mechanical tank was astonishing; direct hits to the dragon's chest dealt more than 5000 damage .
In pain, the dragon rushed towards the tank while the others desperately tried to slow it down . The powerful black dragon was soon covered in burns and bruises .
Each shot would also produce a significant amount of recoil that pushed the tank in the opposite direction, further distancing itself from the dragon .
It looked like there was hope .
Lu Li was extremely grateful to Mayor Solomon for letting him keep this Mechanical Goblin Tank .
Unfortunately, when the dragon dropped below half HP, the barrel of the tank exploded, rendering it incapable of firing any more shells . Everyone watched as the dragon caught up before destroying it with its claws .
"Danfoss!"
The others knew that the warrior had died .
He was likely killed in the explosion, but he was a Warrior and was destined to serve his teammates . He never retreated and protected his comrades till his last drop of HP .
This was the first time that they had lost a member, and it was the Warrior who had protected them all . A sense of sadness and regret came over the group .
Without the Warrior to stall it, the dragon pushed its thick and powerful claws off the ground and rushed towards Keeshan, who had been dealing the most damage to it .
Keeshan was caught off guard and had to use his longbow to stop the dragon in front of him .
The claws of the dragon grabbed the longbow, which was at least Dark Gold grade and smashed it into pieces . For an equip to be destroyed that way meant that its durability had been depleted .
"Everyone, get back . Jorgensen, send me in," Keeshan commanded as he rushed toward the Paladin .
The Paladin hunched over at Keeshan's feet and launched him above the dragon's head .
He caught the dragon by the horn with one hand and with a dagger in his other, stabbed the dragon in the eye as many times as he could .
When the other saw that Keeshan was providing a distraction, they began to deal as much damage as they could to it . The more damage they dealt, the more likely Keeshan was to survive .
They had already lost one; they didn't want to lose another .
However, the dragon became enraged, and despite Keeshan's best efforts to stop it, shot Dragon's Breath at Messner and Jorgensen . The two NPCs, who were already injured, both instantly died .
In that moment, Keeshan's dagger also finally managed to damage one of the dragon's eyes .
The giant eyeball popped in an explosion of fluid .
The dragon was now even angrier and desperately struck its head on the ground as it rolled around .
"The three of you should run!" Keeshan shouted . His legs had already been torn to the bone by the dragon, but he still tenaciously held on to its head .
If the three Thieves attempted run away at this time, they would have a good chance of escaping, especially with the aggro being focused on Keeshan .
"You guys can go; there is no need for you to die with us," Krakauer laughed . He used what seemed to be a forbidden skill, turning into a sword-shaped ghost before stabbing into the dragon's head .
The price he paid was a constant 500 damage counter .
The dragon seemed frantic as it desperately tried to fend off the ghost . No matter how it swung its claws, all they caught was air .
Lu Li and Water Fairy didn't run away . They were players and could theoretically never die in this game .
However, it was also a matter of honor . Why would they give themselves the shameful title of being a deserter? They looked at one another, gripped their daggers and threw themselves at the dragon .
The sword-shaped ghost did far less damage than Keeshan, but sent the dragon into an uncontrollable rage .
It seemed that all reasoning and thinking had been lost as its brain suffered a heavy blow .
As it struggled, yelled and rolled around before finally getting up, its huge claws caught the dying Keeshan and threw him in the direction of Lake Everstill .
The spatial lock effect had also vanished .
Lu Li and Water Fairy then helplessly watched as the dragon flew up and vanished into the sky . It didn't return to the scene, even after waiting for a very long time .
The System then prompted them that they had completed the quest . They could now return to the town to find Mayor Solomon for their reward . However, the two of them were unsatisfied and speechless .
Water Fairy wanted to ask Lu Li whether Keeshan had any hope of survival, but she didn't say anything .
"We…" Lu Li started, then looked at the battlefield in confusion and sighed, "Let's bury them here – this was the place where they fought and where their lives ended . "
There were only two corpses – Messner and Jorgensen – but both had been burned beyond recognition .
The Thief had become a ghost and had completely vanished, while the Warrior's body was no longer in a single human form . His remains were gathered and placed into a tomb .
The only thing left of Keeshan was his broken long-bow . Lu Li didn't care whether it was a good item or not, or if he could fix it or sell it . For the first time, he looked past the gold value and carefully placed the longbow into the grave .
In a remote location on the shores of Lake Everstill, under a lush willow tree, several former comrades were buried .
They were heroes during their lives, treated unfairly and died fighting for the people that ignored them .
People often asked for heroes, but heroes were rarely cherished .
After returning to the lakeside town, Mayor Solomon was very satisfied with Lu Li and Water Fairy's reports . He praised them for the completion of his quest apathetically .
There was no regard in his words for the deaths of Keeshan and the others – it was as if they were just strangers to him .
Lu Li even told Colonel Troteman about the deaths of Keeshan and the others .
This veteran who had just returned from the Murloc battlefield covered in bruises was the only one who cried for Keeshan . As he wept, he lamented over how he had caused Keeshan's death…
