Previously, the party cleared the fifth Dragovian Trial and defeated the Darksteel Dragon. Morrie's Hand of God ability made it much easier. The party unlocked another bonus dungeon, Memories Lane. Now, they will undertake the sixth Dragovian Trial.

The party resumes in the Dragovian Sanctuary.

They head to the Heavenly Dais (time 2:31). They head directly the Lord of the Dragovians' lair with no detours or battles.

The party talks to the Lord of the Dragovians (time 5:42). After they agree to undertake the next Dragovian Trial and get healed, they must battle the Lord of the Dragovians in his humanoid form again.

The Lord of the Dragovians changes forms afterwards (time 8:33). His sixth dragon form is the Divine Dragon. It feels like a souped-up Golden Dragon. The Divine Dragon has a powerful bite and critical hit. He can also psyche up. When he psyches up, he can act three times in a round. His claw grip attack is more powerful than his bite. His C-c-cold Breath deals about 200 points of ice-elemental damage to each party member. He also has Disruptive Wave.

In my battle, I had the protagonist serve the role of tank by using Defending Champion. It puts him in a powerful defensive stance, but it does not actually let him take a hit for another ally as Forbearance would. Insulatle is helpful to mitigate the insane breath damage. Morrie's Hand of God with Dragonlord Claws remains a godly attack, especially at high tension. Obviously, good healing is a must.

The party eventually defeats the Divine Dragon (time 14:23). The Divine Dragon drops a Seed of Skill.

A scene takes place after the battle (time 14:43). The party chooses the Dragovian Lord's last prize, a legendary team monster. This causes a notorious Metal King Slime named Hev to appear around the natural spring south of Castle Trodain. However, this is not really the final Dragovian Trial. The party can return to the Lord of the Dragovians for a dragon rush challenge culminating in the Ultimate Dragon, his strongest form.

The party arrives back at the Dragovian Sanctuary (time 16:44). Yangus uses the Seed of Skill to earn 5 skill points. He puts them into Humanity for a total of 100. At 100 points in Humanity, he becomes a Beloved Boss and learns the entertaining ability Golden Oldies.

The party takes off with the Godbird's Soulstone (time 19:08). They land on Howlwind Hill (time 19:30). They do some more Metal hunting.

They manage another double Metal King Slime kill (time 22:23).

Davilas reaches Level 66 (time 23:20). He obtains 2 skill points. He puts them into Spears for a total of 89. Red reaches Level 65. She obtains 2 skill points. She puts them into Fans for a total of 99. Yangus reaches Level 68. He obtains 2 skill points. He puts them into Scythes for a total of 2. Jessica reaches Level 63. She obtains 2 skill points. She puts them into Sex Appeal for a total of 48. At 48 points in Sex Appeal, she becomes a Pretty Lady and learns the ability Hip Drop. Morrie reaches Level 66. He obtains 3 skill points. He puts 2 points into Passion for a total of 100. At 100 points in Passion, he becomes the XXX Champione of Passion and learns the ability Monster Mia. He puts 1 point into Fisticuffs. Angelo reaches Level 65. He obtains 2 skill points. He puts them into Fisticuffs for a total of 56.

Red reaches Level 66 (time 30:02). She obtains 2 skill points. She puts 1 point into Fans for a total of 100. At 100 points in Fans, she becomes the Belle o' the Balls, the highest level attainable, and learns the ability Butterfly Bop. She puts 1 point into Fisticuffs for a total of 1. Yangus reaches Level 69. He obtains 3 skill points. He puts them into Scythes for a total of 5. Morrie reaches Level 67. He obtains 3 skill points. He puts them into Fisticuffs for a total of 4. Angelo reaches Level 66. He obtains 2 skill points. He puts them into Fisticuffs for a total of 58.

The party Zooms back to the Dragovian Sanctuary (time 32:26). They set up a lineup of Davilas, Morrie, Angelo, and Jessica.

Next time, the party will begin the Dragovian Lord's ultimate challenge.

Thanks for watching!
