I challenge the Dragon King to battle, he attacks without warning with his Acid spit for 400 HP as I rolled out of the way. My staff points forward focusing my energy on an Unholy blood bolt that hits him for 1500hp, raising my staff in time to block his claw swipe that knocks me back into the wall for 600hp. The dragons kings tail came sweeping from the left knocking me into the sky for 700hp but while up there I cast Blood bolt inferno rain sending burning blood bolts raining onto the dragon king 3 managed to hit him for 1500 a piece. Rolling around to avoid him he lets out a great bellow causing a firewall to erupt from the ground. His acid spit came flying through the inferno wall landing a direct hit on my for 3500HP. Little did he know I had been drawing with my staff while dodging him and taking a beating. I raised my staff and hit the ground yelling “HELL’S CLUTCH” The design on the floor lit up and demon hands came up restraining the Dragon king, I touched my staff to his forehead and yelled “DEMISE” as a shadow enveloped the Dragon king Destroying the last of his Life points mine dropped to 3hp for it takes a great amount to summon the spell. And thus I obtained the Twilight Dragon Gauntlet that Allows me to use the Twilight Dragon Armor.

Despite being a level 30 creature, this boss packs a serious amount of HP. Not only that, but it has a constant regen spell cast on it which heals a whopping 50 HP per second. Even if you managed to deal a decent amount of DPS on this boss, it's SP is off the charts meaning that it can cast any spell or ability from it's repertoire at any time and not have to worry much about running out of SP. This can mean pretty much anything coming your way (if you chose frost resistant armor it'll use a flam spell for double damage, if you choose lightning protection it'll throw down an earth spell to deal major hurt, etc).

This is not a creature you can take on by yourself, especially since the player level is capped at 30.

The best strategy is to round up a team of Barrier Battlers (probably around 20). Have them constantly cast Elemental Protection spells (luckily The World allows multiple protection spells on at once with no downsides except that the effects drain out quicker). If you have the time, they might want to also cast some Defense buffs, but I doubt you'll be able to find the time (elemental attacks are your main priority as Barrier Battlers). Don't forget to stack up on SP potions, you'll need them.

Next up is the need for healers; the Shift Singer class is the way to go. I would recommend no less than 20 of these healing beasts. Focus completely on healing OTHER party members, particularly the ones dealing the damage. Unfortunately, resurrection spells cost too much SP to cast, so if a member falls there is nothing you can do about but hope they had a Life Shift Doll on them (but since that was a one-time event item, I doubt you would want to use those if you even have one). In any case, if the boss uses the Death Swipe ability, HEAL, HEAL, HEAL. The melee fighters will die extremely quickly if you do nothing. Just keep healing. Again, as a magic-user, you will need to stack up on SP potions.

Finally, the remaining 10 spots of your party (since there is a 50 member limit) should consist of Big Bangs. Although Sneaks can deal more DPS, they will NOT survive the ferocious attacks. Big Bangs have pretty good DPS, but their main focus in this battle is to survive. If any of these fall, your chance of winning will drop to almost 0. The Bane Bash skill will probably be the most efficient to use here since it can slow down the boss's cast time. Though, if you're in a pinch the Daring Drop ability might save your HP long enough for enough healing.

Regardless, this fight will take a ton of time... and a ton of luck. The fight is definitely worth it for the loot though. Unfortunately, since there is only one item (and the boss can only be killed once before the event is over), you might want to turn on your allies after the fight (if you manage that long). The Barrier Battlers probably have the best chance at succeeding, but I think their skills are pretty great. Regardless, once you're the last one standing, the Liminality Brace is yours.

I'll be waiting.

Waking up from a very homework oriented friday, I slowly log into "The World".Even though I am a bit groggy with my adept rogue twin blades glistening off my avatar's image. I discover a Instant message soon pops out telling me I should Solo the new boss on the board. Silently i have an urge of adrenaline hit me as my face flushes with excitement. This fight has just the right moment for me to prove to myself just how useful an Adept Rogue can be. Quickly I enter the Chaos gate making sure i have enough potions for my health and skill points just in case things get heavy. The keywords are simply entered from how I remember them.

The next thing I notice is a huge cave staring back at me. Streamed CGI effects make the cave look almost real aside from the fact that I can feel the M2D on my head. Monsters in this area seem to be lacking as I quickly run inside the cave. Than when I am about to hit the final room a huge brown dragon looks down on me. My eyes just stare in its wonder with its big tenacious claws streaming down on the M2D screen. It does seem however that I am not alone as a party in front of me with three people are slashing and slicing up the dragon with little damage done each hit. I decide to join the action as i enter the Battle area. The 1st person is a blademaster with a delicate silver sword. Standing right next to him is a girl with a yellow steam gun which i have never seen before. Finally the last guy is a wavemaster with little features deeming them as a random generated character. Being with these generic characters I feel a tad unique with my Blue long Trench coat that works as a cape, as well as a top hat demonstrating my gentleman behavior.

I pull out my twin blades and storm at the Dragon giving a quick slice onto his head, as i make a giant jump. The dragon seems to be little affected at this hit and swings in a circle hitting the Blademaster and I. My HP seems to have gone down by a quarter health just from his Area of Effect attack. The cleric manages to use Ol Repth onto the Blademaster curing his HP to full. My Health Points being damaged, I decide to use a Repth spell on myself.

"Stacotto" My avatar screams out as he charges the Dragon and with fluid motion strikes once, slashes twice and ends with a jump attack. Just as I feared a small damage amount. Well in times like this I resort to magic. I pull out my spell croll and my avatar says "Van Grou" At the moment of this resolution, a giant tornado hits the dragon at full force. Again the damage seemed to be minimal. The Steam gunner to my side sent a large blast with her sword shaped gun. It didnt do much damage though it did blow the dragon back to the invisible barrier in its room causing it damage in the battle area. Realizing that the barrier causes it a little more damage than our attacks i know the perfect answer. I put my spell scroll back into my inventory to pull out a large two handed sword. As soon as i pulled out my sword the dragon launched and used a move I haven't seen before launching the wave-master into the air and slamming its claws onto the wave-master's back. It was an instant KO for the dragon. Only now did i dare look at his name, it said he was the Dragon King. Well this appears to be the boss on the board.

Charging my sword I allowed the two remaining warriors in the party fend off the dragon's attacks. The Blademaster quickly charged the dragon and dealt two slashes one vertical and one horizontal. It seemed to do some damage but not as much as I was hoping for. At my side the Steam Gunner than launched a barrage of gun shots, than charged and slashed with her sword. This new physical impact seemed to send the dragon back into the barrier damaging it. My sword was now finally able slice. I unleashed the sword's energy right into the Dragon. Getting hit into the blast the Dragon once again fell into the barrier getting serious damage not only from my charged hit but also from the barrier. Sensing this newfound strategy the Dragon King flew into the air and landed onto the steam gunner. Luckily the Steam gunner was not KO'd, but had 1/4 of her HP remaining.

A sword hitting onto the dragon told me the blademaster saw the hit and was aiming to distract the Dragon King. To no avail the dragon's tail almost instantaneously hit the Blademaster, making him hit the barrier. I took this as an opportunity and rushed the dragon doing a overhead jump attack and quickly rolling under the dragon after landing to do a vertical slash while getting up. After getting up i jumped back from the dragon and started charging my sword once again. Looking around it seemed the Blade Brandier was getting back up to attack the dragon. Stopping in his tracks the Dragon King did another Area of Effect move and KO'd the steam gunner. There were only me and the Blademaster left against this giant monstrosity of a dragon. I saw once again the Blademaster did a charge against the dragon, but this time the sword he was carrying did a flurry of forward slashes and slices against the Dragon King. He did a backflip after his rush to get out of the way of any instantaneous attacks. Unluckily the Dragon King blew fire at the Blade Brandier bringing him to 1/4th HP. It was then I decided to unleash my sword's power. It hit him full blast and barreled the Dragon King into the Barrier damaging him. I followed my blast with a charge and a double vertical slash up and than down. The dragon was almost defeated I could tell from his anger at the slashes. Holding up my sword in a defensive position I could tell a big attack was coming. The Dragon King flew up into the air and did a barrel rolling movement while he covered himself in fire. His Impact on the ground created a chasm of fire everywhere and unfortunately KO'd the Blademaster. There was only me and this tyrant of a dragon.

I decided that if I wanted to go one on one with this dragon I would need speed. Placing my two handed sword into my inventory I took out the adept rogue's main weapon, his twin swords. I jumped over his tail as it tried to strike me, landed and caused three vertical slashes and three horizontal slashes til i could see a blue aura forming around him. It made me slightly grin over my sweated red face. Instantly I charged the dragon when my avatar screamed "Whirlwind Strike" I Hit the dragon up into the air and jumped higher than I saw my avatar ever jump and slammed a giant impact hurtling slash onto the back of the Dragon's Wings. With his height, and weight the form of his fall made his end a very relieving one. Before cheering for my kill of a triumph i breathed a small sigh of relief, happy that i was able to finally solo a beast at a caliber of this.

The strange thing is the drop I got from this Dragon was an item I have never heard before. Book of Iron? I quickly took this item and used it. My character's lvl was increased by five. I was now lvl 30! It made me quite happy to have gained six levels from this adventure, one from the dragon and five from its item. I went out and looked at its hoard in the last room. It was full of really rare items that were unfortunately for blademasters and some for wave-masters. Why is it my luck that every time I get good items its for neither of my job weapons I can use? I just decided to take the God grunty food and get out of the dungeon feeling happy about my accomplishment using a sprite ocarina.

The Dragon Kings stands as tall as a two story building, red scales reflecting the light from the torches perched on the castle walls. Eyes darker than a black hole bore into us as we entered the monster's liar. I'm a Flick Reaper clad in white, blue elemental wave markings spread over my bare arms. I gripped the handle to my giant scythe. To my right is my companion and friend, a Blade Brandier dressed in black light armor. I leveled up to 26 while my friend was a strong level 31. We don't make a move. Neither does the Dragon King. It's a stand still.

"Ready?" I say. He nods only once and grips the handle of his sword.

With a battle cry that bounces off the stone walls, I charge forward. The Dragon King lunges, a heavy sharp claw looms towards me. I dodge, the rush of wind almost knocking me down to my feet but I press forward. I know I'm at a disadvantage since as a Flick Reaper I'm not too strong against long-distanced attacks. I have to move in close. The beast roars, head swerving away from me. It opens its' mouth wide and flame bursts out in a wide spread.

"Silo!" I cry out, knowing the monster was targeting him.

"Focus Rein!" He yells back. I pause for half a second before I nod. With my grip secured, I swing away at the monster's leg.

It cries out in pain and it manages to backhand me. I tumble across the ground, steadying myself before I stop. With another shout, I lunge forward, dodging another swipe of its' arm. I scurry past the arm, raise my weapon and slash the underside belly of the beast. Another roar makes the castle tremble. I've dealt about 200HP of damage and I knew we weren't even putting a dent to that monsters' HP. We were waiting.

And we didn't wait long. As I kept dodging and attacking whenever I got close, the Dragon King slammed down its' front claws. The castle rocked and I fell backwards. A blue glow appeared around its' body, enveloping the beast in magic. It was starting its' counter attack.

A physical tolerant spell.

"Dek Vrov!" Silo shouts. The barrier that had shaped to fit around the Dragon's King body faded. Silo shouted more weakening spells, each one reducing the damage of its stronger elemental attacks while he simultaneously casts strengthening spells on me.

"Ready!" He shouts from somewhere on the other side of the beast.

"Let's do it!" I cry out, charging forward. Silo's on the offensive now. His attacks were stronger than mine but so were mine now, thanks to his spells. Yet, even with the Dragon King now weakened, it still takes a while before we finally slay the monster. It did put up a great fight, wounding me several times to the brink of death before I could cure myself. With one last, mournful cry, the Dragon King is finally defeated. The body glows gold and disperses into tiny millions of golden orbs that float away. In the middle of the now spacious castle room is the treasure chest; the chest that contains the rarest accessory of The World.

We're both beaten and battered and I use the long staff of my scythe as support to walk over to the chest. Silo is beside me. We share a glance and open the chest.

He pulls out a pair of glasses. Not just ordinary glasses. These glasses are /special/.

These glasses have a mustache attached to it.

We both stare at it. Speechless. Until Silo puts it on his face. Then I can't stop laughing. It hurts my side but he looks too ridiculous. Silo starts laughing too and the castle that was previously filled with out battle cries were now filled with our laughter.

"All that for a pair of comedic glasses?" I say, plopping down to the cold floor. Silo grins and holds out his hand for me.

"At least we know The World has a sense of humor." I grin and grab his hand. "I know a few Treasure Hunters who would trade pretty sweet weapons for this thing."

"Right." I say with a nod, exiting the castle with another wonderful memory by playing The World.
