Kang Oh used several skills against Ridgeley, including Ring of Frost, Dragonâs Fury, Abyss Predator, etc.
These skills had a cooldown of 10 minutes.
In his next fight, he may have to use Gluttony or even Resurrection, which had a cooldown of 12 hours and 30 days respectively.
That was exactly what Dukeram was hoping for.
âBut Dukeram doesnât know about this belt.â
Kang Oh examined his belt.
[Dragonâs Treasure Belt]
A belt that contains Akiteâs heart.
Akite, a dragon who sought immortality, extensively studied the legendary Time Magic. Remnants of that research still remain within this heart.
Hoffman, Dink, and Risela worked together to craft this work of art.
Dink worked on the leather. His ability to cut leather has reached the realm of the gods. Risela created the mysterious alloy, Oradium. The Jeweler secret technique, Ultimate Craftsmanship, was used to refine the Dragonâs Heart.
Somehow, the three Mastersâ superhuman skills harmonized perfectly to create this work of art. The Blacksmith God, Orgon, is extremely pleased, and has blessed the item.
It is so valuable that it could be a national treasure. It is an item worthy of a dragonâs greed.
+ Three Person Masterpiece: The userâs leather, metal, or jewels will never rip or break, and will always remain in tip-top condition. The stat bonus of any equipment made of leather, metal, or jewels increases by 10%.
+ Eternal Spring: The userâs maximum MP is tripled. MP always replenishes very quickly. At this time, any effect that blocks MP regeneration is nullified.
+ Dragonâs Hourglass: Summon an hourglass that speeds up or slows the flow of time.
You may choose one of these two options:
(1) Speeds up time, reducing the cooldown of all skills, spells, and item effects.
(2) Slows down time, increasing the duration of all buffs affecting the user.
MP Cost: Consumes all of the userâs MP.
Time goes by quicker or slower based on the amount of MP consumed.
Minimum Requirements: None. However, if a player possesses a Dragonâs Heart without the acknowledgement of a dragon, then they will be attacked by an enraged dragon.
It was so amazing that itâd make you gape.
Due to âThree Person Masterpieceâ, Kang Ohâs equipment gave him an extra 10% in stat bonuses.
âEternal Springâ was a tremendous ability. Just this ability alone would make the belt extremely valuable. After all, classes that consumed a ton of MP like Mages would come running for something like this.
âDragonâs Hourglassâ was the most ridiculous ability though. It allowed him to control an aspect of time at the cost of his MP bar!
Using this ability would either reduce his cooldowns significantly, or increase the duration of his buffs like Gluttony or Blood Emperor.
Although heâd need to save skills like Gluttony or Resurrection, he could use his other skills (10 minute cooldown) without worrying about Dukeram.
Thatâs why heâd used Ring of Frost, Dragonâs Fury, and Abyss Predator against Ridgeley.
He was disappointed that it didnât give him any stat bonuses, but it made sense when he thought about how amazing its abilities were.
The minimum requirements didnât affect him at all. After all, he was acknowledged by both Gainus and Akite.
Anyhow, Kang Oh continued to search for the Empire Guildâs captains with the belt around his waist.
It wasnât that hard to find them. All he needed to do was go to where the Alliance was being pushed back, and lo and behold, a captain would be there.
The Glacier Squad Captain, Irene.
She was Kang Ohâs next target.
The Battle of the Nazkrak Plains had quickly become an all-out war.
As soon as the western and eastern airships arrived, Gheor ordered all of his reserve troops to join the battle.
Jegal did the same. He sent all of the 1st Corpsâ reserve troops into the frontlines.
A group of wyverns and Death Eagles were battling in the air for supremacy.
Normally, wyverns couldnât match up to Death Eagles. However, things were different when Sephiro and Waryong were involved.
They had enough power to finish the job!
The wyverns were willing to sacrifice themselves if it meant grouping the Death Eagles together. Once they were clumped together, Sephiro and Waryong would finish them off.
However, that didnât change the fact that they were facing Death Eagles. The wyverns took significant losses.
Black Wolf repeatedly used his secret move, âCombination Attack: Thunder Bombâ, and showed why he was a Master Tamer.
Ultimately, it wasnât easy for either side to control the skies. They would have to keep fighting till the bitter end.
Breakerâs Beast Squad was in the worst possible situation. They fought against the sand soldiers, the Giant Soldier Squad, and the Moby Dick Squad, significantly reducing their numbers.
Fortunately, their most powerful members (Snow Flower, Schaal, Magma, and Raon) were still alive and fighting hard.
The Storm Squad was in a similar predicament. They had managed to overcome the loss of their leader, Hernandez, and were fighting intensely. However, that didnât change the fact that they had taken significant losses.
None of them could stop the Ghost Spear. His spear had killed Kim Ma Boo, the leader of the Magic Emperor Squad.
If Ould and Sir Olando werenât fighting the Ghost Spear, and the Elephant Corps werenât assisting the Storm Squad, then they would have been annihilated by now.
The Invincible Gladiator, Burkan, as well as Dion and the 100 Fighters, fought against the Empire Guildâs most powerful squad, Yellow Dragon.
Eric, who hadnât found anyone who could challenge him, was having a tough fight against Burkan. However, he was managing to hold his own.
On the other hand, the 100 Fighters were slightly weaker than the Yellow Dragon Squad.
Bart, his Giants, and the Eagle Corpsâ elites were battling against Dukeramâs sand generals/soldiers and Empireâs Red King Squad.
Most of the Red King Squad was made up of Assassins. Those who werenât Assassins had leaned towards that direction anyway.
Their captain, Kuskal, had done the same. He was an Archer, but he specialized in sniping his opponents from afar.
Kuskal kept shooting long-range arrows at Bart, and Bart responded with all kinds of Creator combination skills.
Helena encountered her worst nightmare.
It was none other than Dukeram!
She was surrounded by Dukeramâs sand soldiers. Whatâs worse, she had Dukeram to worry about too.
Her guildâs high rankers (Wind Tracker Dambi and Druid Yericka) were by her side. They fought to the best of their ability, but the situation was difficult to overcome.
The Blue Knight, Plum, had already met her end via Dukeramâs blade, and Dambi barely had any HP left. If not for Dambiâs healing spells, she wouldâve died long ago.
Worst of all, Helena wasnât able to cast her magic properly. Whenever she tried to cast a spell, Dukeram would immediately use Space-Time Slash.
It was a secret move that distorted the laws of both time and space!
Thus, she would always have to reserve one of her two spells (Dual Casting) for defense.
Of course, Helena was a top-tier player for a reason.
She would always attack Dukeram with one offensive spell. However, she didnât have enough firepower to take him down.
The more time passed, the worse the trioâs faces became.
The Eagle Corps tried to help them, but they were stopped by the sand soldiers.
Dukeram and the sand soldiers closed in. After that, the trio fell like dominos.
Yericka died first, followed closely by Dambi.
Once Dukeramâs sword pierced her body, Helena used her trump card, Self-Destruct.
Unfortunately, glittering sand surrounded Dukeramâs body, minimizing the damage he took from her spell.
With this, the Witch of Annihilation, Helena, left the stage.
Ireneâs Glacier Squad had the highest kill count of all the squads.
The Glacier Squad only aimed for the Allianceâs troops. Jegal had ordered her to do so.
Ireneâs superb leadership abilities, coupled with the Glacier Squadâs skill and excellent teamwork, allowed them to completely overwhelm ordinary soldiers.
The Allianceâs soldiers were swept away like tree leaves on an autumn day.
Kang Oh and Tasha rushed towards the Glacier Squad.
âKang Oh.â Irene, who immediately ascertained his identity, looked at him coldly.
She was completely different from that fool, Ridgeley. Irene always remained calm, regardless of the situation.
Plus, she valued the strength of the organization more than her own personal strength.
âYouâre weak by yourself. But if youâre with others, youâre strong.â
Thatâs the motto she lived by.
Moreover, she had excellent decision making, and she didnât hesitate either.
âEveryone get off your horses. Assume defensive positions!â Irene ordered, and the Glacier Squad immediately assumed a circular formation.
The shield bearers raised their shields in the front, while swords, spears, etc. were positioned behind them. The priests and the horses were in the middle.
Most of the churches had remained neutral in the war. However, there were some churches that joined the Empireâs cause early on.
Their priests were fighting on the Empireâs behalf in the Battle of the Nazrak Plains.
The Alliance had no priests that could heal them, but the Empire did. It was a bigger difference than you might expect.
In any case, even Kang Oh was surprised by the Glacier Squadâs formation. He felt a shiver run down his spine too.
It felt like he was looking at a beeâs nest.
âSheâs not called the Queen Bee for nothing.â
It seemed like she had earned her title.
âHmph. It doesnât matter how many of you there are. Youâre still just small fry to me.â
Tasha, who was drunk off the battle, couldnât help herself and attacked the Glacier Squad.
An undulating blood red wave came flying at them, and red thorn vines surged from the ground.
âCastle Wall!â Irene yelled, and the Glacier Squadâs shields glowed. Then, the light encompassed the rest of their squad as well.
Tashaâs attacks were stopped completely in their tracks.
âSpear Strikeâ was a term that Irene had made up.
The spear-wielding troops unleashed sharp energy at Tasha all at once. Because they hadnât physically thrown their spears, it didnât count as a projectile attack. They focused their energy in one part of the spear and then released it. That was a Spear Strike.
Tashaâs dress formed into a blood shield.
The Spear Strikes almost made contact at exactly the same time.
A Spear Strike wasnât just pointing in a direction and shooting energy at it. It relied on its users to time it exactly right, and delicately control the power output.
It was something that required long and intense training.
The power of their Spear Strikes was surprising. They pierced through Tashaâs blood shield, pushed her back, and made her slam into the ground.
It seemed like it would be harder to break through their defensive formation than he thought.
âTheyâll probably launch Spear Strikes at me even if I fly in from above.â
âMove!â Irene yelled.
The Glacier Squad slowly approached Kang Oh. Their defense might be extremely high, but that also meant that they moved extremely slowly.
If he retreated, then they wouldnât be able to catch him. However, he had no intention of running away.
âYeah, I choose you.â Kang Oh pulled out a scroll from his inventory.
A giant magic circle appeared on the ground. Then⊠a giant monster turtle appeared in its place! He had summoned Moss Caveâs final guardian, Slowpoke Teynos.
[You have used the Teynos Summoning Scroll.]
[Duration Time: 30 minutes.]
This was the first time heâd ever used a guardian summoning scroll.
âMaster! Why did you call me?â Teynos asked.
Kang Oh pointed at the Glacier Squad. âPush through!â
Teynos slowly made its way to the Glacier Squad.
Bulldozer Teynos is in the building. Everyone, get out of the way!
Although Teynos had appeared out of nowhere, Irene remained calm.
The Glacier Squadâs spear-wielders simultaneously unleashed blasts of energy at Teynos.
The blasts hit Teynos simultaneously. They had enough power to leave marks on Teynoâs shell.
However, it wasnât enough to stop Teynoâs advance. Left with no other choice, Irene ordered her troops to scatter.
âScatter. Reorganize into small groups! Group leaders, lead your teams!â
As expected of the elite Glacier Squad.
They quickly reorganized themselves into small groups.
Kang Oh rushed forward like the wind. He needed to get as close to Irene and her small group as possible!
