Chapter 120: Dragon's Posture
"No, that's too much trouble and it's unlikely." The young man shook his head, "So all you need to do is attach the Illumination to your reentry dagger, just like you did in the ghost-infested rock hall before...... Then give it to me. ”
"I don't see if you still have the skills to throw daggers." Raven looked at him with some surprise, and as he said, he repeated the spell he had cast in the Rock Hall not long ago, attaching the Light to the throwing dagger that had been given to the team by Shaving Commander Sawyer Shortboots, and then handed it to him.
Urs took the shiny dagger, and also received a series of prompts in the system's mind—
[You lack the corresponding character expertise]
[Normal use of hidden weapon weapons requires at least the "Hidden Weapon Proficiency (Beginner)" specialty, which can hit -4]
[Normal use of dual weapons requires at least the "Double Skill (Beginner)" specialty, with -4 hits for the main hand and -8 hits for the off-hand]
[Combined Battle Penalty Received: -4 Hit Hit for Cursed Blade Weapon and -12 Hit -12 for Off-Hand Weapon "Throwing Dagger of Sawyer Boots]
"Sure enough, combat punishment." Urs silently recited the hint in his mind, saying that Castaño's game rules are as strict as ever on the use of dual weapons by characters, after all, the concept of two weapons means that you will have one more armor than your enemies in the later stages of the game.
As for the dagger, which is a small and easy to hide short soldier, it does not belong to the sword system in the determination of the type of item, but is classified as a hidden weapon.
Urs's profession in this life was not that of a warrior, at least not in the first formal occupation and not before he worked part-time or advanced. The Barbarian has a powerful berserk ability, but has a lot less extra specialization points than the Warrior, resulting in his weapon proficiency specialization to only one advanced sword proficiency so far.
But the good thing is that it's enough, overall.
The young man took a deep breath and temporarily swapped places between the dagger in his deputy hand and the greatsword in his main hand. The wide and heavy body of the cursed blade was propped upside down on the ground by him, strictly speaking, it was not actually being "dual-wielded" by one of his hands, not to mention that 20 power attributes were not enough for him to successfully wield a heavy weapon with a power requirement of 18 with one hand.
He simply swapped the dagger with the light spell in his main hand, his right hand, to make sure it was a little easier and more comfortable to hold, and to reduce some of the damage penalty from combat—and then mustered up all the strength to thrust the small creature into the empty dark depths ahead.
The glowing dagger, with its illuminated trail, drew a white arc in the pitch-black air, though the arc was a little skewed away from what its thrower had expected.
Urs's skill in throwing hidden weapons is really not complimentary, partly because he does not have the corresponding character expertise, and partly because he was not good at it in his previous life as a gamer...... Well, let's just say that I don't like gadgets like daggers and darts.
Without considering the enhancement of enchantment and quenching, the base damage of daggers is only 1d4, and the darts are only 1d3.
Young people hate but do not despise the sinister and despicable but effective combat methods, but they are still keen on the fighting style of wide open and close, even the long-range attack methods are more inclined to the higher damage axes and throwing hammers, or a special dragon hunting bow, the bowstring alone must require 20 points of strength to pull to the full opening, and the arrows on the string are more like "spears" specially designed for shooting than "arrows".
In his previous life, he added a little bow weapon proficiency to enrich his combat methods, and the dragon hunting bow was also fortunate to pull once in a story mission, and the feeling at that time can be described in one word as "extraordinary".
The extraordinary long-range lethality, like a heavy cannon that can fire without gunpowder, made him understand in an instant why the Ranger's advanced class "Marksman" has a high popularity in the game, and some irrational Ranger players actually put the most important agility attribute without adding the most important agility attribute after obtaining free attribute points, preferring to add their own strength attribute to 20 points before anything else.
Of course, the marksman in the game is sometimes called "fitter", the homonym of the national costume "hidden bow", which is used to ridicule some old cowards with extremely obscene combat styles, and the stealth time adds up to more than archery...... Well, a little off topic.
The Thorn Squad's quest to challenge the final boss in this adventure mission is a shadow dragon. Thinking of the Dragon Hunting Bow, Urs couldn't help but lament that in addition to the lack of mages, his team actually lacked a heavy artillery-level long-range fire output point.
Gloridon's shooting skills and his sour tooth crossbow are good, good, but not great.
The picture returns to the present - the enchanted dagger given to the team by the halfling thief leader of the Shaving Blade Adventure Group flew far under the throw of Urs's 20 power, and it seemed to have scratched something when it was about to reach the limit of the range, although there was no change in sound and visual effects, but it still fed back a set of data verification in the mind through the young man's own unique game system -
[Perform a hit check...... Your ranged attack hits an unknown target]
[Perform damage verification...... Damage is negated by the target's armor]
This...... Seems to have guessed right?!
All at once?
Urs was stunned for a moment, originally just throwing the dagger with the return attribute with the mentality of scratching the prize, but he didn't expect such a big surprise with his first scratch...... Hmm, it should be a surprise, right? At least shocking.
The next second, the glowing dagger swirled and began to retract from mid-air.
Thea's extraordinary perception ability made her suddenly sense a suffocating sensation like a tsunami pressing towards her, and she hurriedly reminded her: "Urs, something is coming!" ”
The young man understood what the girl meant.
yes, there's something, and it's still a big thing!
The interior of the empty cavern suddenly became empty, and the air a little further away in front of the team suddenly distorted, outlining a huge outline from the dark shadows.
The silhouette was much taller than the Frost Giant's, covered and protected by a layer of dark scales. It landed on all fours, its back near its forelimbs, shoulders and arms, spreading out a pair of wings with both bat membranes and fins, and its long lizard-like head opened its two coercive pupils, and it condescendingly raised its chin to scan the intruders.
With a natural arrogance, it is as if humans look down on tiny ants.
The posture of the dragon......
Just by raising his gaze and trying to make eye contact with him from the distance of the confrontation, Urs received several more exemption messages prompted by the system and smashed into his mind like a mountain -
[Hint: Shadow Dragon Saxother cast Dragon Power on you]
[Carry out the relevant verification - the resistance to fear takes effect, and the fear exemption is successful]
[Affected by the dragon's power, the anti-fear effect on your body is forcibly removed]
