Chapter 564 Dryad And Farmer Are The Most Broken Combination!
After utilizing this overly bizarre method to locate one of the other three Great Dragons, we quickly followed the route the Eye of the Viper Drake Queen was pointing at. We walked deep across the Dragon Nest, reaching an area rich on crystal and metal resources growing as ores all across the walls and ceiling.
[You have entered the [Treasure Caves] Area of the [Dragon Nest].]
[Cave Drakes] and their Ruler, the King of Cave Drakes, are lurking within…]
"Looks like we\'ve hit the jackpot, it is exactly in here!" I said with a nod.
"Indeed." Mark said, admiring the surroundings. "This place\'s so rich on resources though… If it wasn\'t because we risk getting attacked while being busy, I would had begun mining some stuff."
"Well, we can always do that later, no?" I asked with a smile. "For the moment, we should probably focus on finding the Boss, the faster we beat these monsters, the quicker we\'ll finish our quest."
"Can that eye specify more than just pointing at a direction." Jenny wondered.
"Looks like it can only point at a direction where it is, but it seems like by just walking down this long hall, we should arrive eventually." Mark nodded.
As we traveled across the Treasure Caves, the area was inexplicably calm. We almost felt the desire to mine out some materials, but we held off and decided to stay alert as we made our way deeper into these caves.
"It is oddly silent around here…" Acorn pointed out. "Is it because Cave Drakes are big and slow monsters that mostly feed on ore? I guess if you leave them alone, they could be quite peaceful creatures."
"I doubt it, when we fought them before, although slow, they were just as fierce as the other dragons…" Nieve analyzed. "There\'s no way these ones would be peaceful creatures. But they might be busy, or perhaps, resting."
"They\'re big and slow, so perhaps they\'re least active in certain times of the day?" Wondered Jenny.
"Well, if- Ah! I can sense something…" I quickly interrupted everyone\'s conversation as my senses activated.
I felt several, dozens of living beings at the other side of the corridor, and a big and powerful one resting deeper into the caves. Looks like we finally found their nest.
"You can? Are they moving here?" Wondered Jenny. "Don\'t tell me little Acorn ended setting up a flag?!"
"A flag? What do you mean?" Acorn wondered curiously.
"I don\'t think it is any of our faults. We\'ve simply walked deeper." I said with a smile. "Looks like some of your ideas were right, they seem to be resting, as if sleeping. Their King is in there, sleeping deeper into the area. They\'re quite the slackers."
"I told you! Big and heavy creatures are slow and like to rest a lot!" Said Jenny pridefully.
"Fufufu, but isn\'t this perfect? If they\'re sleeping now, we can lurk into their hideout and eliminate them when they least expect it!" Rita smiled devilishly on her dark elven avatar, her eyes glowing redder with a menacing, ruthless light.
"I guess… You\'re right." I sighed. "Honestly, I feel a little bad at doing something so underhanded, but there\'s no other way against such powerful creatures. Let\'s eliminate them while they\'re on their weakest point."
"Should we plan an strategy or just step in and go all-out from the get-go?" Asked Rita. "Maybe we should play nasty and do something about them. I remember that when we fought them, they were too bulky and strong. Their HP and Defenses must be really high."
"Well… Usually, when you fight such big and bulky creatures that you can\'t beat so easily with attacks, there\'s other strategies that work against them." Mark pointed out. "How about we poison them out and with some of your attacks, stun and paralyze them? They\'re already slow and bulky, so paralysis and stun might work even better, and then we poison them, curse them with debuffs, and crush them…"
"Hoh? For once I kind of agree with your words right there!" Rita giggled with a devilish smile. "Let\'s crush them on the nastiest way possible! The Boss ain\'t going to go down any other way either…"
"I-I guess there\'s no helping it." Acorn sighed. "Though, I do feel a bit bad, after having heard what the Dwarf King said about the past of the Dwarves, the origins of these dragons and everything, I guess we should wipe them out so the Country can regain these mines and stabilize their economy."
"And if they do that, the sword of my Queen will be given back." Nieve nodded. "There\'ll be no mercy… Absolutely no mercy…"
"Fine, then let\'s begin." I nodded. "I\'ll begin setting up some buffs and terrain."
Everyone nodded, as my Skills activated automatically after I merely willed it.
FLUOOOOSH!
A shockwave of green and golden colored divine spiritual energy emerged from my very body, each of my steps unleashed this energy, covering the ground and our surroundings.
Ding!
[The power of the [Yggdryad\'s Divine Spiritual Presence] Skill has been automatically activated!]
[By consuming 100 MP per second, your very Divine Spiritual Presence changes your surroundings.]
[Dozens of Tiles are transforming into [Spiritual Forest Tiles]!]
[The Effects of several other Skills have activated automatically; you and your allies have received several types of buffs to your Stats and HP and MP Regeneration Speed.]
Ding!
[You have activated the [Spiritual Sacred Sanctuary] Skill!]
[A protective sanctuary made out of your own Mana and Spiritual Energy is protecting you and your friends from all damage.]
[However, MP and Spiritual Energy are being constantly consumed…]
The more Tiles were created, the more several other Skills activated, especially my Racial Skills, which enhanced my MP Regeneration within "Nature" and "Forests" working in tandem with various other Abilities.
So while I was constantly spending MP and Spiritual Energy to maintain these Domains activated, at the same time, several Passives activated to give me back this energy by almost a tenfold, creating an endless cycle where we constantly kept ourselves at full health and mana…
Dryad and Farmer are the most broken Class Combination!
"Now, let\'s begin."
