Part 82: Update LXXIX - Featuring: The Second True Dragon

Update LXXIX - Featuring: The Second True Dragon

Music: None


The Underground Passage is long, devoid of enemies, and utterly silent.





Just you and your thoughts, before everything comes to an end.



By the end of the day, the Dragon Chronicle will be complete.





And here we are.



After playing around with the twins and Yuma, I'm bringing my A-Game for this.









Hello, ND.

Video: VS ND
































Music: Re:Vanishment feat. Annabel (You should absolutely listen to this)




ND comes in with 12.7K LF.

Chika and Rika had just shy of 18K LF combined.

Hypnos, from two chapters ago, had 13.1K.

This fucking game, man.



Oh, and the fight's already over. War Cry is a 1.4x ATK buff, as a reminder.



Then throw on a 0.9x DEF debuff.



GEORGE! just did close to 2/3 of her health in a single hit. And he can follow up with Ultimate Lance into another Earthquake.



On the attack side, ND is bafflingly limited. She has normal attacks, she has Talon which deals two 0.75x hits on one person, and she has Peck which deals three 0.7x hits on random targets. Her super move is Thorn of Light, which is one 1.5x hit to the whole party with a 70% chance of inflicting Charm.

To be entirely honest, Chika and Rika are the last bosses that got any real effort outside of the actual final boss.



On defense, she has Breath of Life that gives a whopping 60% damage reduction against physical attacks with a 66% break chance.

Like Nyala way back when, ND is set to use Thorn of Light 4 turns after using her self-buff. Unlike Nyala, popping her buff right at the start of battle means I'll have very few chances to try and break it.

You know, if GEORGE! didn't exist and the fight had a chance to last that long or something.



And she has Refresh. Because fuck you if you want to try something more in-depth than hitting the Big Damage Button.



Now, the obvious play here is to start reloading with GEORGE! and chip away with Thomas while that barrier is up.



However, as Hypnos taught us before, the solution to being told not to use something is to use even more of it.











I didn't even need to break her buff, this would have killed anyways.



And that's how you kill the penultimate boss in just three turns.

Music: Re:Vanishment (code：VFD Ver)






Ah, how magnificent... So this is the beauty of life... Urgh...



















And just like that, our hunt is over.



Hurry...!

But will Nagumo's plan be able to pull off a miracle?

Music: UE77 Tokyo






Music: If these Hands could Reach








*nods*

You really did it... I'm sorry, but could you bring it here...? I can no longer move...













I see... Incredible... It's nearly exactly what Professor Nagumo predicted... Come... There's no time to grieve...! There's still one more thing... you have to do... *gigg|e* We're the only ones in the universe... who'd come up with a crazy idea like this... There's no guarantee... it'll work, but... you'll still do it, right...?

*nods*

Thank you... I'm only going to say this once, so listen well...



Using the data I took from that, I will activate the creation I made with Professor Nagumo...













However, using the New Dragon Chronicle that Professor Nagumo was able to create...







And here's the plan. Remember Hypnos?


Normally that would have happened instantly, and VFD would have made a new universe with the same dragon cycle.

We're going to use this small delay to hijack VFD and remake reality as we see fit.

*giggle* Well, you'll understand once the synthesis begins...



*nods*

I was such a fool... I deceived people... I hurt them... I did things I will never be able to take back... But in the end... I'm glad... I'm so glad... That I was able to put my belief in you... and that I can die at peace... as a scientist...
