BXBX NOVEL Chapter 511 The Raid Begins (VI): Galatine
The stats I received is quite large that my damage is just quite capable of dealing enough damage to even cut off its wings. With its wings cut off, this dragon is no longer capable of flying anymore.
The dragon is now pissed and is trying to use its spikes behind its back to attack me. Due to the attacks of the dragon, I have no choice but to go up higher to its neck to avoid those spikes.
"Hahaha! It seems you are having fun over there, Bladeheart!" Queen Tanya noticed me when she leaped to attack the boss in the head.
"Trust me, it is not fun at all!"
Some of the spikes just appeared out of nowhere and to avoid getting impaled or squashed by them and I have to swing my weapon time and time again to cut off the spikes one by one just to get remove them from my way.
Thankfully, the moment I reached the neck area of the dragon, the spikes are nowhere to be seen there. But there is one thing that caught my eyes.
On top of the dragon\'s head, is a shining sword that I didn\'t notice before when I was on the ground due to it hiding on its horns which is blocking the view when seen while standing on the ground. Now that I am behind the dragon, it is clear as day to me now that it is a sword stabbed deep into its head.
With the movement of the dragon getting real chaotic while I am there, I didn\'t waste my time and changed my Versatile Weapon into a Hook and Chain before throwing the hook towards the handle of the sword. I already have a good grasp on how to time my throw to properly get the hook to attach to somewhere I wanted it to latch on.
CLANK!
With the hook attached, it was easy for me to reach the sword without scaling the scaly neck of the dragon. Reaching the place where the sword was piercing, I realized that the place of the dragon\'s head that has been stabbed by the sword is being burnt like it has been under the flames and it is burned as the sword remains there. It was like the flesh of the dragon and the blade of the sword are rejecting each other.
I grabbed the sword\'s hilt and the moment I held it in my hand, the glove on my hands is also being burned. It was a slow burn but that is still burning that I didn\'t expect its the ability to even come into effect to the one who wields it. Or perhaps I am not worthy of grabbing the sword. Thankfully, the Versatile Weapon is invulnerable to anything which made the hook remain on the handle.
Seeing that my gloves were useless the moment I held the sword\'s hilt in my hands, I decided to pull it out in a different way. After all, there is a much better alternative to pull it out from where it was being held at.
CLANK CLANK!
Wrapping the chains to the sword, I made sure that the hook won\'t slip off after pulling it before I yank it with all of my strength.
A single yank and the sword that was buried deep within the head of the dragon were pulled up. The moment the blade was pulled out, a great light shined upon the surroundings that even the dragon screamed in pain as the light burned our unprepared eyes.
"F*CK! WHAT IS THIS BLINDING LIGHT DOING?!" Hagane screamed in pain as the light just pierces our eyesight.
I managed to close my eyes a bit but it was still bright enough that closing my eyes doesn\'t have much effect. It just made my eyelids a bit painful. Thankfully, the light disappeared a few seconds later on.
The moment I opened my eyes, I was welcomed by a system message.
[Secret Method performed. The effects of [Eclipse] have been removed. The Draconic Gargoyle\'s weakness has been revealed and is now vulnerable to any attacks dealt with twice the amount.]
The secret method was performed?! Wait, so that means, the sword that was pierced on its head is the secret method? Pulling it out of its head will reveal the weakness of this guy? Then, if I didn\'t have the Versatile Weapon to pull it out, no one can do that at all? What a bogus method!
When the dragon recovered from its sight, it started rampaging I immediately have to get off the back of the dragon before I get squashed by it trying to move around and kill me. while I was there. The sword is still at the end of the chain so I didn\'t have to worry about it and just went down with it.
"Bladeheart? What was that thing you just did up there? It was so bright that we almost got blinded!" Queen Tanya is still blinking, trying to adjust her eyesight.
"You could have just warned us if you have planned to do that while you were up there!" Dolly was so pissed even though she is still rubbing her eyes.
"Hey, it\'s not my fault that it would occur like that! I didn\'t know that the secret method to defeat this dragon is enough to blind our eyes like that!" I defended myself. It wasn\'t my intention to unleash that bright light anyway.
"Son, what is that sword that you are carrying?" My father immediately noticed the sword dangling at the end of the Versatile Weapon.
"I still have no idea what it was but this was the cause of that bright light earlier."
ROARR!
The dragon seems to have regained its vision properly and faced us again. But since the previous menacing aura it has before is gone, it is just a regular dragon enemy now. Looking at the HP of the dragon again, it is no longer showing a question marked HP, and instead, it was replaced with actual numbers which are now amounting to 2,045,987 HP. It became quite small as it was weakened from the previous method I did unconsciously.
With that, the battle continued but due to how overkill Queen Tanya fought, the battle ended a few minutes later after the draconic gargoyle got weakened.
The rest of the group gathered to the drops after the dragon disintegrated and dropped the rewards. It was a shame that it didn\'t leave any single solid body. It would have been great especially since it was a dragon and materials coming from dragons are quite sturdy and good to use in making items.
But since I don\'t have any interest in the items dropped unless it is materials, I left all of the jobs for them to take to everyone else. Queen Tori and Queen Tanya are also interested in checking the drops so they joined the others too.
As for me, my interests lie elsewhere. The sword that is still on my Versatile Weapon is something that I have yet to check. I know that this might just be an ornamental object meant to be an item that has only one single use and that is to perform that blinding light from earlier. But there is a possibility that it is different. I might be inhaling hopium but it\'s just something that I wanted to know.
I pulled out all of the chains that is binding the sword off to easily inspect the item. I tried to return the Versatile Weapon back to its sword form but for some unknown reason, I can\'t do it because it needed to be untangled before it can transform. I have no choice so I decided to untangle it with my own two hands. Of course, it was quite hard as hell since the moment I touch just a little bit of the sword, it stings and my HP went down for a bit. So to prevent depleting my HP every time I touched it, I chugged down a bottle of potion before I try again.
It took me around 13 bottles of Health Potion before I managed to untangle the chains of the sword. Once the Versatile Weapon is untangled, I changed it back to sword form before I inspected the sword.
But the sword was something else. My hopium was indeed very effective since this wasn\'t just an item that cannot be used again. It was an item that is indeed a weapon. But it was a weapon that I didn\'t expect to see.
