Boom!
The male fire dragon fell to the ground.
Irin's blade and Kikyo's arrow were almost at the same time.
[Congratulations! Successfully killed "Male Fire Dragon — Yaksha (Curse)"!]
[EXP + 400000!]
Irin pursed his lips.
No treasure chest dropped.
This drop rate was not logical.
But forget it.
At least he got 400,000 experience points.
He was safe.
At the last moment, Kikyo's arrow did not catch up to Irin's blade. In the end, Irin took this wave of experience points.
A mere 400,000 experience points was not enough for Irin to level up.
Irin felt that something was wrong.
Too little experience points was one of the reasons.
Kikyo's last action also puzzled Irin.
It was clearly a difficult situation to face two bosses, but at the last moment, Kikyo did something that Irin never expected to steal the boss.
Although many settings in the game world were faintly strange.
But in the end, they still acted according to logic.
As an NPC, Kikyo's actions made Irin a little puzzled.
Long before coming to Fire God Mountain, Irin had roughly guessed the truth hidden in the Land of the Firelands through various information, clues, and Li Lei and Han Meimei's oral accounts.
The previous Hokage, the previous Miko, and Kikyo's childhood sweetheart had failed in the crusade against the "Dragon" back then.
After Kikyo became the new Miko, she entered Fire God Mountain alone ten years ago.
It was said that with the help of the "Fire God", she defeated this evil dragon.
When he heard this, Irin felt that something was wrong.
Many years ago, three boss-level NPCs could not defeat the male fire dragon, but Kikyo summoned the "Fire God" and defeated it?
This did not make sense.
It also did not make sense.
Moreover, Irin knew very well that the Fire God they believed in was actually the giant divine beast under his feet — Bolos.
Irin did not know much about the giant divine beast's strength, but judging from its size, it was far from what the male fire dragon could compare to.
Irin had already tried to stab the ground.
— — Not even a damage value popped up.
The strength of the Giant Divine Beast was evident.
So, the conclusion is out.
The male fire dragon was not dead.
Through some means, Kikyo reached an agreement with the male fire dragon.
Although he didn't know how Kikyo did it, it seemed that as long as Kikyo sacrificed one villager every year, the male fire dragon would obediently stay in the Fire God Mountain and wouldn't come out to stir up trouble.
It was a cruel story.
At first, Irin wanted to kill Kikyo as well.
However, when Irin saw the suffix of the BOSS before she made her move, she couldn't bear to do it.
— Yaksha.
This male fire dragon was actually Kikyo's childhood sweetheart, Yaksha, who accompanied the Hokage and the previous generation of witches into the mountain to fight the fire dragon ten years ago.
There was something else going on.
But Irin still made a move.
After all, he had a mission.
Therefore, Irin chose to kill the fire dragon not because he thought that the fire dragon was easy to bully.
Irin could almost deduce the original plot of the entire script.
However, at the end, Kikyo shot an arrow at the male fire dragon, which made Irin feel that the script she had deduced was full of loopholes.
"It seems that I must have missed something."
After receiving the kill notification, Irin didn't pay attention to the fire dragon that gradually turned into ashes and disappeared. While being vigilant of Kikyo's sudden attack, she asked: "Why?"
Kikyo's face flashed with a gentle light, she smiled slightly: "It's over."
"What do you mean?"
"Everything is over, whether it's his nightmare or mine."
Irin was surprised.
Kikyo's gaze moved away from the remains of the fire dragon that gradually turned into ashes and looked at Irin.
After Irin killed the male fire dragon, perhaps because of the mission, the name above Kikyo's head temporarily turned back to yellow.
— — Neutral.
Irin was already used to the NPCs' attitude toward the players in the game world, so he wasn't surprised.
Irin: "Why did Yaksha turn into a dragon?"
Kikyo smiled.
"Everything starts from ten years ago."
"Hurry up."
Kikyo didn't care about Irin's urging and began to explain the plot.
"Ten years ago, Hokage-sama, Kikyo's mother, and … Yaksha went to the Fire God Mountain to fight the evil dragon."
"In one night, they all died."
"Kikyo wanted to avenge them, so she went to the Fire God Mountain alone."
"But …"
Kikyo looked at the male fire dragon that had turned into white bones not far away and laughed bitterly: "But what Kikyo didn't expect was that all of this was just the beginning of the nightmare."
"The real disaster that brought the village wasn't the male fire dragon, but the real darkness hidden in the male fire dragon's body."
"The dragon slayer will eventually turn into an evil dragon."
"This is a curse."
"The previous fire dragon was actually transformed by a dragon slayer. After Yaksha told me this, Kikyo was in pain. " "Yaksha was also in pain."
"His strong will allowed Yaksha to control the evil thoughts of the fire dragon, so that no one would die."
"But Yaksha was only one person, and he couldn't completely control the darkness in his body."
"So every year when Yaksha couldn't hold on, Kikyo would let a villager …"
Speaking of this, Kikyo seemed to remember the people who died in the dragon's stomach in the past ten years. Her expression was sad, and she was silent for a moment, skipping this bloody and cruel part.
"In the end, Kikyo found a solution in the ancient book left by Hokage-sama."
While speaking, Kikyo turned her back to Irin and took off her robe, revealing her snow-white back.
On Kikyo's snow-white back, there was a large scar that had healed. The scar was made up of crisscrossing lines, as if it had been forcefully carved with a knife. Just by looking at the technique that almost covered the entire back, one could imagine the pain Kikyo had to endure.
"Today, ten years later, under the suppression of Yaksha, the darkness in the fire dragon's body will be at its weakest."
"And I, Kikyo, the forty-third witch of the Land of the Fire Source, will personally kill the fire dragon, and the terrible darkness will be completely sealed in Kikyo's body. At that time, you will personally kill Kikyo, and then everything will be over. "
After that, Kikyo silently put on her clothes and staggered toward the dragon's bones on the ground.
After Kikyo finished speaking, drops of black blood seeped out of the gaps between the white bones on the ground.
Those black blood, along the complete dragon's bones, gradually gathered together like crawling insects.
In the end, in the skull of the male fire dragon that had completely collapsed and in the dark eye sockets, drops of black blood that were as black as ink strangely condensed into a twisting black shadow.
The shadow condensed into a human shape for a while, and then condensed into an irregular shape for a while.
Around the shadow, countless human faces appeared. The empty human faces blankly opened their mouths, as if they were silently screaming.
Irin was stunned.
'How did it unfold like this?'
Irin turned around expressionlessly.
At the same time, the shadow condensed.
'The dragon slayer will turn into an evil dragon?'
'Who would come up with such an old-fashioned script, asshole!'
The script might be old-fashioned, but it was still annoying! '
Kikyo walked past Irin and stepped forward.
Irin focused her gaze, and above the shadow's head, the information that the boss should have appeared.
Six Dark Generals — Dragon's Grudge
LV:???
Kikyo stopped before the dragon's skull.
After she finished saying all this, she felt completely relaxed.
There was no more burden on her shoulders.
For the past ten years, the villagers that she had sent here were all her sins.
Her way of atonement was to completely end this darkness, to completely cut it off with her own hands.
"Kill me."
Kikyo closed her eyes.
She said to Irin.
On the other side.
Irin stood behind Kikyo, but her emotions were complicated.
She did not know whether to laugh or cry.
'So, that's what happened.'
Based on the normal flow of the scenario, this was how the boss would be fought.
The party would first focus on the male Fire Dragon. When the male Fire Dragon was about to die, Kikyo would suddenly jump to the side and kill the boss with one arrow. Finally, the two would merge into one. Kikyo would merge with [Six Evils General – Dragon's Grudge] and become a brand new Evil Dragon.
That was the true face of this boss battle.
As for the explanation of the scenario, perhaps the boss would drop a diary after its death to answer the players' questions about the plot.
Therefore, in the design of the boss, the male dragon would come with a 'weakened' status. Its meat was excellent, and every slash would draw blood, so the damage would be high.
This was where the real difficulty lay.
Yi Lin did not expect that a side quest in the Land of the Firelands would lead to the main quest, the [Six Evil Generals].
The Six Evildoer Generals existed in a rather strange way. They existed in the game world in an idealistic way.
At the end of the normal quest flow, after the players killed the Female Fire Dragon – Kikyo (Curse), the Six Evildoers – Dragon's Grudge would not be transferred to another location. Therefore, the players would be able to complete the quest perfectly.
The whole boss battle could be summed up in one sentence.
"Kill Kikyo, who was willing to become a female fire dragon for the male fire dragon, and kill the main quest boss, the Six Dark Generals."
But …
However, the planning team probably didn't expect that Yi Lin's explosive hand speed and damage output at the last moment had exceeded the speed of Kikyo's arrow and completed the last hit.
"Kill me."
Kikyo said.
The Six Dark Generals — Dragon's Grudge started to move. It was like a black shadow formed by many souls, and it kept on twisting.
"What if I told you that the person who killed the fire dragon at the last moment was me … What would you do?"
Kikyo opened its eyes again.
Its expression was one of shock.
After Irin said that, the mysterious boss that had been dancing on the spot finally moved.
At this moment, Kikyo was still in a posture with its arms open, standing between Irin and the Six Dark Generals — Dragon's Grudge. It was still in a daze.
What does this mean?
I didn't kill the yaksha?
How can you be so fast?
Isn't it too fast?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Kikyo's mind.
The huge resentment flew past Kikyo and floated toward Irin as if it had teleported.
It seemed to be a slow movement, but in the blink of an eye, the Six Dark Generals — Dragon's Grudge moved a few positions in a strange way and pounced toward Irin.
The resentment around the silent wailing faces became even more ferocious.
It seemed that they wanted to make Irin one of them.
Irin cursed in her mind.
Without hesitation, Irin activated the combination of [Shadow Stalking] and [Shadow Execution] at the critical moment and ran for her life.
At this moment, Kikyo was in despair.
She had planned for ten years for this day.
She did not expect that all her efforts would be in vain because she was a step too slow.
Only by attaching the Six Dark Generals — Dragon's Grudge could she put an end to all this.
Even if Irin became an evil dragon, she could kill Irin, but there would be more sacrifices.
Irin's shadow moved quickly on the stone wall.
However, the huge shadow seemed to be bound to Irin. It was as if it was a puppet that followed Irin and did not let go.
This kind of idealistic existence was not something that could be avoided by a mere [Sense of Presence Disappearance].
Irin moved faster and faster on the stone wall.
However, the shadow behind Irin was even faster.
In the blink of an eye, the Six Dark Generals — Dragon's Grudge was behind Irin.
The shapeless shadow and the distorted face turned into a ferocious dragon head.
The dragon head opened its huge mouth and bit toward the snake-like shadow on the stone wall.
