To Win Without Winning?

'Oh? And exactly how do you plan to do that?'

The Dragon Lord of the Abyss' Dragon's Mark and Dragon's Scales were useful abilities; however, neither of them was enough to turn the tides of battle.

Even if Dragon's Mark could somehow make it past the torrent of raindrops that would undoubtedly obstruct its path, it still lacked the power to break through the blue flames that shielded Tal'Nis.

As for Dragon's Scales, Izroth believed that it may be able to protect him from one or possibly even two hits, but the moment it was broken, he had no way of counteracting the backlash. After all, potions and lifesteal were not available options in this situation. And, when it came to the use of an HP recovery skill, Izroth's only one, Rapid Regeneration, was currently on cooldown after his dive into the Immortal Hydra's body.

(If you ask this lord nicely, perhaps I can consider offering a hand.)
