Lu Li's bag still contained four Seaforium Bombs that he would be able use next time .
He had expected a challenging, close-combat battle, but he had guessed wrongly . From the beginning, they had not been discovered by the Orcs at all .
The stealth elixir was extremely impressive . Both him and Water Fairy were expert Thieves, so as long as the Orcs' levels did not exceed 50 and they kept their distance, they would naturally remain undiscovered .
"Number 46," Keeshan said calmly . "We have 35 seconds at max . The patrolling squads of Orcs will have already found that the soldiers standing guard at the gate are missing . We must leave now . "
As they had previously entered, they now had to exit from Stonewatch Fortress' gate .
This steel fortress had been built by the Orcs on the Redridge mountain range . The purpose behind the unrestrained hunting and capturing was for its construction . Otherwise, the Orcs would not normally feed and sustain captives who would waste their already short supply of food .
"Will the commander die?" Lu Li asked . He was quite keen on killing the Boss .
Judging from the levels of the elite Orcs, the Boss would not be too powerful . Furthermore, Keeshan was as powerful as a Boss and possessed a barbaric type of strength .
"Whether the commander lives or dies does not matte – we just need to kill enough Orcs to foil their battle plans . Even if they try and regroup, reinforcements from Stormwind castle will have already arrived . " Although Keeshan appeared to not care about whether the Lakeshire Guard died or lived on the surface, the way he did things were obvious at a glance .
"Alright then, when do we trigger the explosion of the bombs?" Lu Li asked begrudgingly .
"They've already been triggered . "
As soon as he heard the voice, the whole Stonewatch fortress was immediately enveloped in a barrage of seemingly unending explosions . Lu Li and his party only just managed to run through the gate before it collapsed with a loud rumble .
As he turned around and looked back, he saw that only rubble and the light of the fire remained .
The crushed rocks and stones were the most effective method of reducing the destructive power of the Orcs . It was no wonder why Keeshan had strategically considered the positioning of the explosives .
Suddenly, Lu Li discovered something miraculous .
His EXP bar was beginning to increase!
It had been a long time since his EXP bar had even moved, let alone by 7% at once .
Five percent experience was equivalent to one block, so this change was glaringly obvious .
Water Fairy also noticed this . Her level was lower than Lu Li's by two, so her EXP rose even more . When it finally came to a stop, she had levelled up and reached level 43 .
As it turned out, the Orcs that were killed by the explosives had given them shared experience .
If they could enjoy it alone, the high ranking Elite monsters in the fortress would have given them even more .
By now, the party which consisted of Lu Li and the NPCs had already made their way in the direction of the lake . They did not dare to stop temporarily, as there would still be many surviving Orcs, along with a Boss .
Unless it was unavoidable, even Keeshan would not want to face the Orc commander .
Suddenly, a dark shape blotted out the sun in the sky, growing larger and larger as it flew closer to them . Lu Li turned around and was nearly frightened off his feet .
Black Dragon!
It had to at least be level 50 . This was a real Black Dragon – not a Raptor or Dragonspawn, and had the authentic bloodline of the Dragonkin .
"Prepare for battle . "
Keeshan's leg shifted as he turned his head and twisted his body, firing an enchanted green arrow towards it . It was a pity that it only grazed the large dragon's neck, but it was enough to slightly interrupt its dive .
After this, Messner unleashed a large Fireball that struck the dragon squarely on its head . Unlike the regular Fireball skill, Messner's Fireball did not dissipate quickly . Instead, it enveloped the dragon's head and continued to burn .
"Spatial Lock!"
Messner released the staff in his hand and tore a silverly-white scroll . A dense amount of magical energy began to rise from the ground that instantly enveloped the entire area . The large dragon then began to fall from the sky like a stone as a damage value of 50000 floated above its head . Compared to the large Fireball, the damage of this spell was significantly higher .
A dragon that had lost its ability to fly was basically a giant lizard . It roared in suffering as it was immediately surrounded and violently attacked .
Apparently, the dragon was not that strong after all .
In his previous life, Lu Li was only an ordinary player . Even though he had attained level 50, he did not have a chance to encounter a dragon .
Perhaps it was because these NPCs were too strong . The two spells that Messner had unleashed were extremely dazzling . Lu Li felt slightly regretful that he had not chosen to play a Mage as there were many powerful Mage NPCs . It would be much easier for him to receive guidance .
While deep in thought, Lu Li had also found his own attacking position and proceeded to slash at the dragon's abdomen a few times .
"Be careful and protect yourself . "
Keeshan did not possess the carefree attitude that Lu Li had . He wore a grave expression on his face and stood poised to react at the slightest hint of danger . Perhaps even the strength and speed he was using to fire his arrows had begun to fatigue him, as his fingers were dyed in blood .
The flame that was on the large dragon's head had finally died out . In the meantime, it opened its eyes and saw a few small, weak humans attacking it . Then, it took in a deep breath .
A large stream of flames surged out of the dragon's mouth . The first to be hit was Jorgensen the Paladin, who promptly used his damage reduction . Even so, he was still badly burned and lost a large portion of his health .
"This attack is too powerful . "
Lu Li finally understood why Keeshan's expression was grave .
Unexpectedly, a stream of black dragon flames could incinerate an NPC with Plate Armor and deal more than 1000 damage . If Lu Li had been hit, he would have been burnt to a crisp . Understandably, he was quite frightened and moved to another attacking position .
"Attack its eyes!" Keeshan bellowed at the Mage as he also began to target the dragon's eyes . After all, it seemed unfazed when they were attacking other parts of its body and only tried to dodge when its eyes were in danger .
"We can't fight it! Let's run!" Krakauer yelled .
"Krakauer, you go first," Keeshan cried out in pain as he rolled on the ground after being hit by the dragon's claws . However, he quickly got up and returned to the fight .
"I won't go yet; you guys can escape first . I'll keep it occupied and escape by myself afterwards," Krakauer said confidently .
