The four men in the snow saw only two dragons twist together and fall from the sky, and then the mountain peaks obscured their vision. The long, loud chirp that followed made their hearts, which seemed to be clenched together, finally beat again.

It was Is's voice, the timbre of the young ice dragon like a golden string, revealing a pleasant Qingyue in the deep and low voice characteristic of the dragon.

But the thick and complex emotions in that call kept them from cheering. It was the joy of victory, the desperate questioning, the eternal loneliness, and the great sorrow.

They trembled and couldn't help but move closer to each other.

In the moonlight, Isis flew back and landed in front of them, his huge body shaking for a moment before he could barely stand still.

"Where's Scott Christus!" it roared at the paladin, not glaring at Naria and Tate, its bright red blood freezing on its silver-white body.

The fearless paladin took a step back.

"Uh...... I don't know?"

The ice dragon roared towards him, and Fili could feel the cold breath above him.

"Can a paladin lie?" Tess added fuel to the fire.

"If it's for the right purpose...... Wait!I'm a friend of Scott!" Filly stepped back in embarrassment, "And are you really going to kill in front of your sister!"

Unbeknownst to Fili, it was the words that moved the ice dragon, and Iss stopped, but the anger in his eyes was still burning.

"Fili Zeri, still so naïve. Behind the paladin, a cold voice came, "Do you really think it cares about Scott, or the little girl over there? It's a dragon, and all it cares about is itself." ”

"Bye......" Naria whispered the name. It had been a long time since she had seen the paladin who had saved her and Is. She remembered his always confident, somewhat proud smile, and his deep dark eyes.

But the person who appeared in front of her was not what she remembered at all. The twisted smile that seemed to freeze on Beye's lips made her feel frightened, and her black eyes sunk deeper into the emaciated face, dull without a glimmer of light.

He made her shudder as she remembered the Skeleton Knight with black swirls swirling in the hollow eye sockets in the dark river passage beneath the Dragonwing Peak.

Isis took a step forward, then jerked back, standing upright on his two hind legs, raising his upper body high and letting out an angry roar.

Tess looked around. They were surrounded.

The paladins and priests who suddenly appeared probably saw the battle between the two dragons in the sky, but she wondered how quickly and accurately they had found it.

Filly ...... What did you do?" she smiled, her sweet smile seemed to contain only curiosity, but her eyes were so cold that the paladin shrunk her neck.

He really didn't do anything other than jump on the neck of an ice dragon like crazy, but the little girl in front of him definitely didn't intend to believe him.

What's more, what he wants to do now will definitely not be forgiven by them.

Silently, he retreated to his companion, took a sword, and said to Alan Carvo in his heart...... And Scott apologized silently.

He's a paladin after all, and he has his own responsibilities.

The priest's chant began to sound, and the paladins raised their swords to their foreheads in unison, and then assumed a posture of attack.

Ise roared and took a step back. The two priests, the six paladins, were clearly prepared, otherwise it wouldn't have let them get so close without noticing. The wound on its back cracked again in the priest's spell, blood gushing out uncontrollably, and it flailed its wings as the air felt viscous and heavy.

It couldn't run away, and it didn't want to run again.

Silverfang's death extinguished the flames that burned in its heart, and the ashes were left with nothing but despair and exhaustion. It has killed the last of its kindred, and it is destined for a long and terrible life of solitude. Even if it survives today, what will happen after that, like Silver Fang, hiding on an uninhabited island in a distant icy sea, or like its mother, hiding its tracks carefully, or dying at the hands of adventurers?

It sees no hope.

The young ice dragon stared coldly at the small and fragile humans who controlled the entire world little by little, ignoring the blood that snaked down its back, raised its head proudly, stretched its wings, and let out a roar of rage.

It is the last ice dragon after all, and even if it will die today, it will not die without a fight.

Naria drew her sword in silence and faced the paladin, standing in his way.

Akan, who had been standing a little dazed, suddenly roared angrily, rushed to Naria's side, bent down slightly, and tensed the muscles of his body, like a beast ready to attack, fiercely glaring at the paladins opposite.

He didn't have a hammer, he couldn't hold much in his head, but there was only one thing he knew very well: the one who saved him was his friend. He won't allow anyone to hurt his friends.

Tess sighed, as if to curse something in a low voice, and waved her hands forward, two sharp daggers flashing slightly blue in the moonlight, and Mochi jumped on her shoulder, silently baring his fangs.

The ice dragon lowered its head and looked at them, as if a little overwhelmed.

"Naria Kavo, get out of the way, I don't want to bring your body to your father. Bye frowned impatiently.

"My father would be proud of me. The brunette girl replied with her head held high.

“...... As you wish. Baie said gloomily, waving the order to attack.

"Wait!" someone shouted.

Bye turned his head and roared in anger, "Philip Zeri!"

Fili ignored him, and simply plunged his sword into the snow

"I can't do this!" he declared loudly.

"You swore an oath!" Beye's sword swung at Fili, "In the presence of Nior! Do you want to be a degenerate?!"

"Yes, I swore it. Filly raised his hands, "Protect the weak and innocent, and keep honor and duty...... But what honor is this!"

He pointed to the "enemies" in front of them, and his eyes swept over his young companions one by one: "Seriously, you really plan to step on two girls, one stupid big one...... And the corpse of a squirrel, to kill an ice dragon who had just been seriously injured trying to save someone?

The priest's voice had weakened. Almost half of the paladins looked at each other hesitantly and lowered their swords.

"Who dare!" Baie roared, "Attack now!"

The servants of the water god looked at each other, not knowing for a moment who to listen to.

"I, Philip Zeri, in the name of the High Paladin, now order you, stop the attack!" Philip stood straight, putting on a serious face, but immediately returned to his original form, "I know what you're worried about, listen, imps, I'll take all the blame, if Sean ......"

Beye's sword slashed straight at Fili.
