akes Lisa worried and she runs back to David to protect him. It throws a fireball at the two and Lisa manages to guard themselves with the shield. David feels like a complete loser as Lisa is getting hurt while protecting him. “You don't have to protect me, I can fight by myself. I came here to get strong, not to rely on others and trouble others. If I die then all of my achievements till now will be gone, right? You have far too many achievements. It will be a big waste if you are the one to die and respawn. You should run away. I will distract it.” David tells her to run away. Lisa hesitates at first but David makes her listen to him. Before she ran away, she gave five of her magic crystals to battle the dragon. Of course, even with them, it would be impossible to defeat such a higher-level beast. The dragon whips its tail towards David and he gets thrown into the lake. He loses half of his HP with just that attack.

The dragon is way faster than David and it manages to catch up to David and bite him to death. But it realizes that the one it attacked was just an illusion. David distracted the dragon and attacked one of its eyes with his sword. The dragon screams in pain and it starts bleeding. It tries to throw flames at David but he uses another crystal to cover the entire area with smoke. David uses this opportunity to attack one of the other eyes and destroy it as well. however, the dragon shields its
