Infinite Range: The Sniper Mage

Chapter 143 143: Meteor Firestorm

shatteredcrown: "i'm back, you giant loser! come on, eat this, try to eat another one!"

after being revived, shatteredcrown stood up and taunted the injured gluttonous devourer, whose wings had been blown off, causing it to lose its flight ability.

"if it weren't for the fact that this dungeon doesn't allow respawns after a wipe, i'd have kicked his ass to death by now," empress muttered, feeling a headache coming on. at least he's an s-class hidden profession player—can't he show a bit of dignity?

despite being heavily injured, with half of its body torn open to expose bone, the gluttonous devourer continued to drip blood and lose health every second. but even in such a state, its strength was still far beyond that of ordinary bosses. the beast twisted its body and unleashed a dragon breath at shatteredcrown.

"ahh!" shatteredcrown shrieked, rolling and scrambling into the mirror of folding to escape the blast.

the ground shook once again. orson's expression shifted slightly, and he immediately ordered, "pick up the pace, don't waste any more time."

while this dungeon didn't have a countdown, orson, with his experience, could tell that a volcanic eruption was imminent. in infinite dimensions, many high-difficulty dungeons contained hidden dangers to push players to complete objectives faster.

with the boss critically wounded and bleeding, things were about to get easier.

the crimson lizard king launched a devastating breath attack from the air, drawing the boss's attention. the fight had become a one-sided affair, with orson now seeing the boss as nothing more than a target.

the chaos magic ball continued its relentless assault, speeding up the boss's inevitable demise. ten minutes later, the boss's health was in the red, and the crimson lizard king swooped in to claim the spoils.

empress: "the second dragon is about to fall!"

shatteredcrown: "here it comes, the magic-banishing staff!"

everyone eagerly awaited the outcome—two dragons down in two hours, a record that seemed unbelievable.

as the gluttonous devourer let out a mournful cry, a wealth of dragon materials and high-level equipment exploded out.

"you have obtained rare material: dragon horn x1"

"you have obtained rare material: dragon bone x3"

"you have obtained sacred item: dragon crystal x1"

...

empress: "that skill the boss used earlier was actually s-class! no wonder the counter-damage was so insane."

"this one's mine, right?" orson grinned, eyeing the team.

empress shrugged indifferently. "you're the main dps and the tactician. it's fine for you to decide who gets what."

blackstockings shook her head. "not necessarily yours. i propose we sell it and split the earnings. besides, it's a dragon-limited skill."

everyone turned their gaze to the crimson lizard king, which had once again grown even larger. its blue horns now shimmered with a red glow, creating a mysterious aura.

"is this thing even a dragon?" shatteredcrown asked, voicing the question everyone was thinking.

"i don't know. let's see if the skill can be applied," orson replied, unsure. the crimson lizard king had been identified as a member of the extinct death god dragon clan, but it had now evolved and retained the title of the dragon's enemy, which was a contradiction.

orson opened the beast's skill slots. as blackstockings had said, lord-class beasts had five slots—three innate skills, with two additional slots available for activation.

system prompt: "would you like to spend 1000 gold to activate this skill slot?"

orson sighed, realizing that upgrading a beast's skill slot was just as expensive as leveling a mage's spell slots. even the most wealthy families wouldn't be able to afford this without heavy spending.

"activate."

a notification rang out, and orson's face lit up when he saw the available skill.

system prompt: "dragon spell: meteor firestorm"

skill successfully embedded!

even though orson had anticipated this, seeing the meteor firestorm skill on the slot was still exciting.

shatteredcrown: "holy crap! it actually worked! that's insane!"

empress and blackstockings stood stunned. they could hardly believe their eyes.

according to infinite dimensions' official website, beast tamers could eventually upgrade to dragon tamers, with the requirement of possessing a true dragon beast. however, these top-tier beasts could only upgrade their stats marginally.

but this was different. the crimson lizard king wasn't just any ordinary beast—it had the potential to grow into something far more terrifying.

empress quietly speculated, "luckily, even if it grows stronger, it's still just a lord-class. it should be a hybrid dragon, not a full-blooded one."

if this beast were a domain lord-level creature, its strategic significance would be entirely different.

in the uj district, there was an ss-class player who could summon the domain lord-level beast yamata no orochi, and was practically unstoppable. he was hailed as the strongest summoner in the region!
