Chapter 1511: Chapter 1511 Terror

Including the audience, there was great disappointment with the Dragon Beast’s explosive scales.

It was thought to be another hurdle capable of intercepting and eliminating many teams, yet without the challenge mode’s restrictions, one could freely use their professional skills.

This significantly reduced the difficulty of the challenge. After all, this isn’t a real challenge dungeon; players can’t be expected to study a monster for half a month.

Therefore, the only option was to indirectly lower the difficulty, but this reduction went a bit too far. There was talk of an sss challenge, which sounded good, but now it seems almost like a giveaway. Any player with a bit more strength and better gear could probably withstand it.

After all, the audience even directly resisted the Dragon Beast’s rapid charge, which seemed like an unstoppable force akin to a train. It was expected to be a heavy-hitting attack, but it was easily defused, and they even found an opportunity to counterattack, showing signs of a headbreak at the very start of the attack, which was overly simplistic.

The Paladin also let out a huge sigh of relief and even used his skills consecutively—Sword of Justice, Shield of Revenge, showering various abilities on the Dragon Beast’s head.

The Dragon Beast suffered a barrage of attacks, and the scales on its head appeared almost completely shattered.

Moreover, the Dragon Beast’s attacks were all headbutts. Its head was so large that its movements were slow and obvious. As a top-tier expert, the Paladin easily predicted the Dragon Beast’s moves and successfully blocked them with his shield.

Roar!

The Dragon Beast’s furious roar was defended against by the Paladin’s Tower Shield, which protected against the sound waves.

In the meantime, the Dragon Beast suddenly flapped its wings and soared into the sky.

The Dragon Beast continuously circled in the sky, hovering.

The Paladin then pulled out a hand crossbow, shooting at the beast. Although the damage was not high, he maintained constant output.

After circling for a bit, scales began to fall from the beast’s body. Everyone thought that the Paladin’s attack had caused structural damage to the beast.

The Paladin thought so too. Seeing a piece of scale half the size of a person fall, he did not take it seriously and simply swung his shield.

The shield once again clicked and transformed into a hand shield, directly hitting the falling scale.

However, a scene that no one expected unfolded.

The falling scales were nothing special, but upon the shield’s collision, the originally grey-brown scales suddenly turned fiery red and then exploded violently.

The Paladin exerted a substantial amount of effort but had not anticipated the scales exploding, resulting in losing half of his health from the blast.

His body was blown away by the explosion. The Paladin did indeed react quickly, with light beginning to shimmer from his hand.

This was the prelude to unleashing an invincible ability. As long as he landed safely, he could release invincibility.

However, before he could land, while still in mid-air being blown back, he directly collided with nearby scales.

The scales, though referred to as scales, were actually quite large, a bit over a meter in height.

The Paladin’s recoil was essentially gliding close to the ground, directly hitting the scales behind him.

Upon impact, these scales also exploded.

To make matters worse, there were several other scales around this one. As it exploded, the nearby scales detonated as well.

The Paladin’s invincible skill hadn’t been activated before his health was already emptied; with the explosion of a few scales, his corpse became fragments, leaving a large pit in the ground.

Everyone was dumbstruck, the change had happened too quickly, and the audience didn’t even have time to react.

In fact, from the moment the Paladin touched the first scale until he was killed by the simultaneous explosion of several scales, it all happened in less than a second.

The Paladin resurrected directly in the stands, people also saw him just managed to activate invincibility, but what was the point of using invincible now.

The Paladin was also full of bewilderment, barely believing his own eyes.

He was about to break through, the melee was going well, everything was fine, how could he have been blown to death all of a sudden?

Looking again at the Dragon Beast that roared in the sky before flying back to the other side of the passageway, the Paladin truly realized the reality that he had been eliminated.

"Damn it, what kind of monstrosity is this?" cursed the Paladin loudly.

The captain of the American team seemed to take it more easily, comforting him, "It’s okay, the plan was for you to probe anyway, now at least we understand its characteristics."

The Paladin nodded helplessly, he had been eliminated, nothing else to say.

"Damn, that’s some twisted explosive power."

"Paladin, down to half health in one hit, dead in two, those squishies would have been instantly taken down in one shot."

"Now I finally understand why the melee challenge got an S rating."

"Isn’t that obvious? Now who doesn’t understand. With such a thing constantly shitting on your head, who the hell could stand it."

"I feel so good, the Paladin died too quickly, not powerful enough, we got too little information, but I think a strong tank could defend against it."

"Actually, the simplest solution, wearing fire-resistant gear, then placing gemstones that resist explosions, along with a Tower Shield, then this exploding Dragon Beast wouldn’t be much of a threat."

"You’re stating the obvious, this is the first kill, who knew there’d be such a monster, who would prepare a set of equipment specifically for it."

The other two teams also became vigilant; this Dragon Beast was really too tricky.

Starfire’s side, his mouth wide open, after a moment he finally said: "If I’m not mistaken, the first explosion, even with the Shield, blasted away ten thousand health points. If there was no shield for those squishies, I reckon they would be one-shot."

"No need to think about it, squishies are definitely dead, assassins too, though basically all of them have life-saving skills that allow them to avoid death once. You must have noticed as well. The second wave of explosions, though it seemed simultaneous, was actually at different times. The first explosion was defended by the Shield, the Knight lost half of his health. The second explosion could kill him, but his body flickered with the Paladin’s Hand of Redemption, avoiding death once, negating the second scale’s explosion," said the seductress, stroking her delicate chin.

"Indeed so." Fruit Knight replayed the footage in slow motion, and everyone saw that at the second scale’s explosion, a golden palm negated the second blast, but the second explosion triggered the nearby scales. The Paladin, still mid-air, was blown to death: "It seems I was negligent."

"It’s not negligence on your part, but you lack specialized equipment for your eyes. The explosions just now were too chaotic, it’s normal for you to not see clearly," said the seductress with a slight shake of her head.

"This depends too much on luck, it’s priceless and beyond reach," said Fireworks with a shrug.

"Look, this time they’re sending a Ranged Mage, seems like they don’t want the trophy anymore."

"Not necessarily, the melee is too passive. I think the Korean team wants to probe the Dragon Beast’s characteristics further so that the people behind can increase their chances of success."...
