Infinite Range: The Sniper Mage

"The Flame Dragon·Greedy Hoarder's greed instinct is further triggered as it collects more gold coins."

"The Flame Dragon·Greedy Hoarder has dug up 20,000 gold coins and entered a state of wild ecstasy!"

"Greedy Hoarder has found more gold coins and is gradually falling into madness."

"Ignoring all player attacks! It will continue until all players' treasure points are dug up!"

"Please, players, focus fire! Killing The Flame Dragon will refund the gold coins!"

Red alerts popped up on the interface, and everyone except Orson was stunned. Output... at this distance, how are they supposed to deal any damage?

"This dungeon really does have a solution, Master, your thinking is on a whole different level than ours," ShatteredCrown exclaimed in amazement.

Empress: "The prompt means your approach is definitely correct, but we can't help you. You'll have to handle this on your own."

"Just me for the damage output, and you guys just sit and watch?" Orson smirked lightly, opening his Mirror of Folding again.

"Please, begin your performance."

"Huh?" ShatteredCrown and the others were confused.

Orson didn't say more. He immediately kicked ShatteredCrown in the back, sending him tumbling into the space net.

"Sure enough, a spatial item that can teleport players together..." Empress muttered, frowning. As the leader of the Moonlight Guild, she could sense the terrifying combat potential contained in the Godslayer's Earrings.

This item, in the hands of an average player, would only teleport people a few hundred meters away, which isn't much. But in the hands of a monster with such a strange range...

This effectively turned the Godslayer Guild into a mobile space portal, able to dispatch huge amounts of combat power to the battlefield at will.

Even in the midst of a brutal fight, with the magic mirror and the revival pool in place, players wouldn't have to waste time running back to the battlefield after dying.

"This tactic is unbeatable!" Empress was still muttering to herself.

"Get going!" Orson sighed, shaking his head, and kicked her into the space net as well. Empress hurriedly turned, her face turning red: "Could you be a bit more civilized?"

"Nope, I don't want to do all the work for you guys. Let's end this battle quickly," Orson shrugged.

His eyes shifted to BlackStockings' proud rear. BlackStockings shot him a look of fury: "You dare?!"

"Dare what?" Orson raised an eyebrow.

"I... I'll jump in myself!" BlackStockings was intimidated by his gaze and hurriedly dove into the net.

"Are you serious? Did you grow up on pig feed or something? So big!" ShatteredCrown grumbled, face-first in the mud. When he saw the The Flame Dragon rolling around in the mud, he was taken aback by its massive size.

Seeing that the dragon didn't pay him any mind, ShatteredCrown took the opportunity to sneak around and threw a hailstone spell directly at its rear.

-1100

Critical Hit -2200

...

"Hahaha, stupid dragon, come hit me! I'm begging you!" ShatteredCrown couldn't help but laugh. Such an opportunity to beat a giant dragon wasn't something he got every day.

The next moment, The Flame Dragon instinctively swung its tail, and its massive, tower-like tail came crashing toward him.

ShatteredCrown's eyes went wide in shock. With his health, there was no way he'd survive that tail swipe.

"Holy Shield!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Holy Protection!"

Two holy light rings enveloped ShatteredCrown, and under their protection, his body was sent flying. A tall woman swiftly grabbed him.

ShatteredCrown blinked in confusion. He hadn't lost a single bit of health.

BlackStockings and Empress both sighed in unison, "Idiot."

"So this is what a man with 'romantic encounter' attributes looks like? Damn, I'm so jealous!"

Orson's jealousy flared up when he saw the scene.

Empress, tall and graceful, effortlessly grabbed ShatteredCrown by the waist. He looked like he was enjoying himself, inhaling the charming scent of Empress' body.

Even though BlackStockings was only a B-rank priest, The King Family had money. Her B-rank skill "Holy Shield" was maxed out at level 10, granting her the awakened magic "Holy Shield Exemption," which gave teammates over 4,000 temporary shields.

"Holy Protection" was Empress' exclusive Holy Knight skill, providing a high amount of defense resistance and healing over time. It was incredibly powerful.

ShatteredCrown: "Mistake, mistake! Stop it! Let's team up and kill the dragon!"

Empress glared at him, "Please stop making trouble, and get your hands off my waist!"

ShatteredCrown laughed lewdly, stood up in a hurry, and continued his assault on The Flame Dragon.

On the other side, Orson genuinely wanted to just kill him already. Though ShatteredCrown and the others couldn't output as much damage as Orson, they were still in the top tier among players.

With everyone's combined effort, The Flame Dragon's health dropped quickly, and in no time, it lost over 10 million HP.

The Flame Dragon continued its frenzy, swallowing another 20,000 gold coins before gearing up to fly to another treasure spot.

"Enter the Mirror."

ShatteredCrown and the others jumped into the Mirror of Folding, reappearing back at the battlefield.

Following Orson's plan, they relentlessly pursued The Flame Dragon, dealing consistent damage.

Half an hour later, The Flame Dragon had only a quarter of its health left, but all the treasure spots were nearly dug up.

ShatteredCrown anxiously said, "There's still over 10 million HP left! What do we do?"

The Flame Dragon took flight again, entering the two-kilometer range with only two more treasure points left.

"What else can we do? Kill it!" Orson said, no longer holding back on his output. The Chaos Rogue locked onto the Greedy Hoarder.

Orson's eyes sharpened. He clapped his palms together and said, "Earthquake!"

Multiple effects triggered. Two stone dragons crashed into the massive body of Greedy Hoarder, knocking it out of the air.

Smash Damage -50,000!

Greedy Hoarder shook its head and attempted to fly again. Orson smirked and said, "Stone Coffin."

Four stone dragons erupted from the ground, spreading like vines, firmly binding Greedy Hoarder.

"C-rank Earth magic done right? Wait, how did you summon this many stone pillars?" ShatteredCrown stared at the screen, his mind reeling. As Orson's "direct disciple," he had the same skills, but the fine control and magic intensity were on a whole different level.

Orson remained focused, bringing out another powerful spell: "Celestial Descent."

Empress: "Human limits can't explain this... Even if I don't know your hidden class level, this is just too terrifying!"

The Flame Dragon let out a heart-wrenching roar as meteors crashed into its body, with the force of a comet hitting the earth. The meteors slammed The Flame Dragon into the ground.

Dragon Blood Damage Boost!

Critical Hit -12,000!

Shrapnel Piercing -1,500!

Shrapnel Piercing...

Burn -8,000!

Burn...

This was the advantage of using large-scale magic against large targets. If the target were smaller, most of the meteoric shrapnel damage would be wasted.

Damage numbers flew up as a mixture of damage effects pummeled The Flame Dragon, causing its health to drop by over 100,000 in an instant.

Under the effect of Chaos Magic Ball, The Flame Dragon was slowed down, stuck in the mud, and finally forced to use its unstoppable form to break free from the earth magic's control and try to take off again.

"10... 9... 8..." Orson emotionlessly counted down, monitoring the duration of the unstoppable state.

"One!"

Orson whispered under his breath as a firepoint materialized before him. A wave of destructive energy surged, chilling everyone in its wake.

"Thunder."

"Brahma's Divine Flame."

The moment the unstoppable state ended, Brahma's Divine Flame detonated directly above The Flame Dragon's head.

"Is this... roast chicken?" ShatteredCrown gaped, stunned.

The Flame Dragon, a top-tier fire elemental creature, now appeared in plain sight, its body engulfed in grayish-brown flames, looking like a chicken roasted on a fire.

Orson immediately continued his regular attacks, frowning: "Its resistance is really high, I still can't trigger the Chaos Chain."

As if answering his thoughts, the Chaos Chain finally activated!

Burning True Damage x2 -16,000!

Burn -500! Continue your journey on empire

Burning True Damage x2 -16,000!

...

"Over 10,000 burn damage, plus the regular attacks? Is the total damage breaking 20,000 per second?" Empress gasped, her heart racing. This was a The Flame Dragon capable of easily crushing an entire guild!

Now, Orson was treating it like a roasted chicken.

The Flame Dragon had a high resistance to fire magic, reducing the duration of Brahma's Divine Flame from 30 seconds to just 15.

But even so, after Orson's long-range onslaught, The Flame Dragon's health dropped to under 7 million in no time.

Soon after, the final treasure spot was dug up by the Greedy Hoarder.

Empress: "Uh-oh, it's coming at us!"

BlackStockings

shot Orson a proud glance and sneered, "Not enough buried gold, dragon-slaying failure... if we can't get that gold back, you'll be in trouble."

Everyone knew that with The Flame Dragon's offensive power, if it hit them directly with its breath, they'd be dead in seconds.

As soon as the words left her mouth, a furious roar echoed across the plains. The Flame Dragon Greedy Hoarder shot forward, its speed increasing rapidly, heading straight for Orson and the others.

"Misjudgment? Sorry, that doesn't exist." Orson sneered, and a spatial rift opened before him. "Killing the dragon? What I want is to eat this dragon!"

Crimson Lizard King let out an excited roar and instantly transformed into a terrifying shadow of death, heading straight for The Flame Dragon Greedy Hoarder.
