"They handed them out so quick, ku!" Thief yelled out as she ran through the rooftops. 

She could see the dragon flying in the distance around the city attacking people down below. 

Thief  had practically died getting to the Guild as fast as she could to pick  up the immediate quest to slay the dragon and she was hoping to group up  with some Randoms  but as it turns out everyone else had beat her to the punchline. She  arrived dead last so by the time she accepted the request every other  adventurer had already gone out to try and slay the dragon in groups.

"So much for Luck! Without a group to help me, I'm going to have to be extra careful when I'm approaching that thing."

As she said this she decided to activate her [Stealth] skill. Its use was great; she had leveled up [Stealth] a lot over her time knowing this ability, and now its time had extended by a bit and even its cost had gone down.

Thief  would first check out the Dragon's stats before going in and messing  with it. She would leave a lot of the combat on the adventures as she  would be making more decisive strikes.

She pulled out two large daggers from her holsters on both sides of her waist. Now that she was on stealth, her passive [Didn't See That Coming] would allow her next attack or skill to crit and would do 50% more damage at the level it was at right now when she came out of stealth.

As  she got closer she noticed a lot of adventures down by the plaza where  the dragon was now attacking throwing attacks at the dragon.

"Lightning Javelin!"

"Webbings!" 

"Mental Strike!"

She  noticed a lot of them were split up in groups attacking the dragon but  they followed the same format as the others. They kept their range users  of skills or weapons in the back along with a healer and their melee  range at the front with their tanks. They looked a bit frantic in the way they were throwing their attacks but Thief paid it little mind.

"Well guess I wouldn't be much use until the dragon is shot down. In that case I'll use Data"

She  froze in place as she lowered her daggers a bit when she saw the stats.  It was so unexpected for it to have been so strong. At first, she thought it would be a low-level  dragon and that the combined force of the adventures guild and guards  would be enough to take it down. Now seeing it be so strong she almost  gave up hope.

In all her life as an adventurer she had never seen such a high-level creature near human civilization. This was not just a <Dragon>, it was a <High Dragon>, the next tier above the dragon chains. These dragons had advanced past the normal level a monster would reach. They had reached a Class which increased their stats even further making them more powerful.
