Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 163

Chapter 163: Konda, The Incarnation of Terror! Part-2.
‘This won’t do… Even if I use the attack enhancement card, there are still high chances that this thing can tank it…’

Jareth hasn’t defeated this bone dragon in the game, but he has certainly fought it a few times.

He has also used boosting cards like ‘Attack enhancement’ cards, but still, this monster has just too much resistance.

It won’t be wrong to say that in terms of resistance, this bone dragon is stronger than a semi-grade-0 existence.

Even that incarnation of the demon god had much weaker magic resistance than this thing.

If it were any other powerful beast, Jareth would have either killed it or run away to avoid battle.

But right now, Jareth has no choice.

He has to kill this bone dragon right now.

The very reason why this bone dragon was sealed in the depths of the ‘Abyss Altar Area’, was because this thing can spread miasma and corruption on its own without even doing anything and just existing.

Jareth glanced down and found that the ground that the bone dragon was standing on had already started to turn pitch black, and this corruption was spreading outwards extremely fast.

Just by existing, this thing can corrupt and corrode everything that’s in it’s vicinity. If it’s not killed right now, then it will keep rampaging all over the continent and eventually corrupt everything.

This will greatly hinder Jareth’s ultimate plan of escaping the corruption; the weakening of the false dome’s seal will accelerate, and things will become even worse than they already were.

‘The main problem is… why is this thing here? Did someone break the seal placed in the abyss altar?’

Ever since Jareth read the map in Nathan’s hidden library, he already knew that there was one of the seven nodes of the False Dome seal located in the abyss altar area.

The fact that this beast has escaped indicates that someone has already broken one of the false dome’s seven nodes.

‘This is extremely bad news…’

Jareth already knew who had an idea and was behind all this.

‘I see, the false dome cult likely has found some method to track down the nodes, and they have already started their work of breaking the nodes…’

The abyss altar area is a dangerous place, but for the False Dome cult, which has quite a few peak grade-1 mages, it’s not that difficult.

‘They must have found this dragon sleeping there in the seal and likely set it free when they broke the node… The thing that the abysmal dragon hates the most is the pure form of mana…’

‘And in this world, I have the purest form of mana, which means it sensed my presence when it was wandering around underground…’

Although Jareth knew that this theory was not likely 100 percent correct, he had already figured out most of the truth in a matter of seconds.

His genius mind talent is no joke; he can figure out hidden things with just a few clues. If he were back on earth with this talent, he could have become one of the best detectives in the world.

‘No matter the case, I will still need to fight this thing anyway… better early than late…’

This boss monster prevents access to the Abyss Altar Area’s deepest hidden chamber, which contains a sealed item of utmost importance.

Jareth would have gone to fight this boss even if it hadn’t come looking for him itself.

Thus, this fight was inevitable; he just didn’t expect that this beast would suddenly detect him when he was on a random stroll on the fifth floor of a dungeon.

[Basic Magic: Wide Area Type: Magic Beam Bombardment!]

Hundreds of giant magic circles measuring half a kilometer each appeared in the sky and began to fire massive beams of mana at the bone dragon below.

‘Small attacks won’t do much damage; I need to slowly accumulate some damage before finding an opportunity to launch a big attack that can insta-kill this thing; otherwise, there’s no end to it…’

Those giant beams that could have turned a peak-grade-2 mage into ashes weren’t even scratching this dragon’s bones.

It seemed like there was barely enough to even tickle its body.

The dragon didn’t even bother dodging these attacks, as they seemed as weak as a fly trying to hit it.

The bone dragon raised its head toward the sky and opened its giant jaw.

[Dragon Breath: Rotten Abyss!]

The bone dragon fired a massive amount of miasma and corruption from its mouth as a breath attack and directly corrupted those mana circles in the sky before breaking them easily.

Jareth knew that if he didn’t cut off his connection to those magic circles, Miasma would corrupt the connection as well, harming him in the process.

Simply attacking this dragon is not the problem; the bigger issue lies in its ability to counterattack you so severely that your own magic can become harmful for you.

Simply speaking, this boss monster is so overpowered that it seems like the developers created it just to torture the players on purpose.

[Basic Magic: Glowing Mana Orb!]

Even the darkness-repelling effect of the glowing mana orb was pretty useless on this boss, even after being enhanced by ‘Mana Singularity’.

At best, it was barely slowing the spread of corruption on the ground.

‘Tch, this is the most troublesome enemy I have ever faced since coming into this world…’

[Mana Command: Mana Shackles!]

The mana in the ten-kilometer area immediately solidified at Jareth’s command and restrained the movements of all creatures within this range except for Jareth himself.

The shackle momentarily halted the bone dragon, but it soon began to actively disperse miasma from its body, thereby contaminating the surrounding area.

But Jareth wasn’t sitting idle in this small time frame either; he raised his hand towards the sky, and the night witch’s grimoire shone brightly, boosting and amplifying his magic.

[Grade-3 Fire Magic: Flaming Meteor Bombardment!]

Boosted by mana singularity and the power of extremely pure mana, along with the amplification effect of the grimoire, Jareth cast the grade-3 flame magic that he had just recently learned after becoming a grade-3 mage.

An insanely big magic circle appeared in the sky, and a gigantic burning meteor flew down at the speed of Mach 5.

Its target was the head of the bone dragon.

The power of this attack was indeed immense; just by its mere presence, the meteor evaporated all the moisture in the area, and the air became extremely dry and warm.

Even the people in Bastille felt this sudden change; everything became hot, to the point that even those dark clouds that always cover the sky of the chaotic thunder desert started to dissipate.

This attack raised the vigilance of the bone dragon, and the bone dragon immediately took an offensive approach.

It poured a massive amount of miasma into its tail and flung its tail towards the falling meteor before it could even hit its body.

*Boom!*

The tail and the meteor collided, a massive shockwave was created, hundreds of tons of sand flew in the air due to the massive wind pressure, and a giant sand storm was created.

The debris of the broken meteor flew in all directions, and some of it flew so far away that it hit the barrier in Bastille City, causing temporary cracks to appear on it.

Although those cracks healed instantly due to the output of mana being high in the barrier, the people of Bastille understood one fact.

In front of those two absolute powerhouses, this barrier is as weak as a sheet of paper.

If that Bone Dragon wanted it, it could easily break this barrier and slaughter all of the people in this city.

It will take just one attack to wipe this whole city off the map.

This realization caused people to tremble in fear.

Some people denied reality and hid in the corners of their houses to find some sense of security, while others directly fainted from the sheer shock of being powerless and insignificant.

Ordinary people are so weak and powerless in front of this monstrosity that even their own existence feels insignificant when looking at that giant monster.

The Bone Dragon is so tall and big that it seems to be touching the dark clouds in the sky just by standing there.

Although Jareth seemed as small as an ant in front of that giant beast, he was the only hope for the people at that moment.

People started to pray for his victory, and some even started to chant Jareth’s name with reverence and awe in their eyes.

The abysmal dragon itself is a source of terror, and to think that a human is fighting this source of terror head-on is a very exciting thing.

Jareth and the dragon’s fight seemed extremely out of the reach of ordinary people; it seemed like two gods were fighting each other while the mortals could only look up to them and wait for their fate to be decided.

Thankfully, Aria and the group returned to the city on time and informed the mayor about the situation before things escalated.

The city barrier was deployed at maximum power, and even Shin was invited to defend in case some stray attacks came their way.

Although Shin and others can’t take part in that battle of absolute giants, they can at least help Jareth by trying to protect the common people from the collateral damage.

Everyone knows that when peak powerhouses fight an all-out battle, the collateral damage caused by them alone can be very devastating.

Shin and the group immediately took positions to help reduce this; even the mayor deployed the whole police force to control the people and reduce panic.
