After Maxing out all Classes

Chapter 978:

Hi guys, I translated until 82 today as I probably wont be able to translate much this following week as the computer shop that I have been going to will not be operating this week. Sorry :((

The second phase has begun!

Robb knew very well that during the Black Dragons second phase, it would use basic attacks less frequently and instead cast a variety of spells more often, many of which were AoE spells. In his original world, players other than the main tank could somewhat withstand AoE damage with their gear, as long as the healers could keep them alive.

However, in this world, no one could endure any bit of the Black Dragons AOE damage; theyd die before they even had a chance to be healed. No armor could help.

So this phase would be a test of everyones ability to dodge abilities.

Melee, retreat ten yards. Scatter in three seconds to avoid the incoming AoE spell.

After the recent battle, everyone had conditioned themselves to obey Robbs commands reflexively. At his shout, all the melee damage dealers halted and readied themselves.

Sure enough, a circle of fire suddenly erupted around the Black Dragon. When the circle was close to the dragon, it seemed seamless, but as it expanded, it broke up, revealing some gaps. These gaps only became large enough for a person to fit through when the circle expanded ten yards away from the dragon.

The Eastern swordsmen, quick on their feet, immediately dodged through the gaps. Western warriors were a bit slower but tried their best to avoid the flames by exploiting these gaps. Of course, a few who reacted slowly were swept by the fire circle and fell to the ground. Then the support team moved in. Those from the auxiliary magical item units, the Thors Roar units, and the Tank units all became anxious. Someone shouted, So many of our comrades have already fallen. Why are we still standing here, not taking action?

Whats your rush! If Godfather hasnt ordered us to act, dont be impatient.

Didnt you see the magicians and archers? They are still conserving their mana for attacks. This means its not yet time for an all-out effort.

Our weapons can only fire once before they need to be recharged with mana by the magicians. And which magician has the time to recharge your weapon right now? So we must act only at the most crucial moment. Stop shouting and just watch.

At that moment, the Black Dragon took another deep breath.

However, this time Robb didnt interrupt it because, during the second phase, the dragons use of this move was uninterruptible.

He fixed his gaze on the dragons head, gauging the direction in which its head was turning, and shouted, Healers and magicians, from now on, dont use any channeled or cast-time spells. Use only instant-cast spells for attacking and healing me. Everyone within 200 yards, get ready to start moving clockwise.

Then, the Black Dragon opened its massive mouth and unleashed a breath attack.

This time, it didnt breathe fire in all directions. Instead, it aimed at the direction where Robb was standing, exhaling a wide, fan-shaped flame.

Robb didnt try to tank the blast; instead, he dodged by sliding in a clockwise direction.

Move! Clockwise, move clockwise! Robb shouted as he started to run, rotating himself.

Everyone quickly caught on and started to rotate. This wasnt just one or two people, or even a hundred; it was the entire outer circle of axe throwers, archers, and magicians. They all had to rotate because their range was only about 60 yards, and the dragons breath encompassed an area of around 200 yards.

The sight of thousands of people rotating was indeed spectacular. Thankfully, they had previously repaired the winding mountain road, making it easier to rotate. If the ground had been uneven, the rotation wouldve been problematic, causing people to trip over rocks and obstruct the rotation of those behind them.

However, they soon noticed something amiss. A group of warriors from the East had not rotated in a clockwise direction because they didnt have the concept of clockwise or counter-clockwise. Their lack of movement disrupted the rotation, resulting in many others not being able to turn, and that led to a chain reaction that halted half of the formation.

As a result, the dragons breath swept across the stalled ranks. Archers, magicians, all fell in the fiery onslaught, with hundreds dying in the process. Robb shook his head, blaming himself for not foreseeing this issue.

All retreat, move back 200 yards from the Black Dragon. Disengage, disengage! Regroup, and lets start again! Robb shouted.

Wait, it wont pursue us? questioned Hero King.

Can we even restart the fight? wondered the queen.

Of course, we can! Robb yelled. Everyone, move back 200 yards!

They hastily retreated, unable to even collect the bodies of the fallen due to their sheer number. Robb healed himself and then turned to run.

The black dragon tried to pursue Robb, fiercely biting at his heels. However, Robb was able to withstand the attacks and outran the dragon, moving beyond its aggro range.

In a flash, Robb was more than 200 yards away from the dragon. Interestingly, the Black Dragon had been chasing him menacingly, but the moment he crossed the 200-yard boundary, it suddenly stopped its attack. Its jaws, which had been inches away from Robbs shoulder, retracted. Then the dragon swished its tail as if nothing had happened, retreated to the entrance of its lair, and lay down with a thud. Its large, emotionless eyes watched the group it had just fiercely battled. The color of its scales also shifted from a dark red back to black.

Witnessing this bizarre turn of events, everyone couldnt help but marvel in silence.

Once Robb was at a safe distance, he shouted, I will start resurrecting the fallen now. Priority will be given to those corpses that have been moved out by the logistics team. As for the bodies within the 200-yard range, Ill resurrect one and have it immediately dragged out. In the meantime, everyone should rest, eat, drink, and recover.
