Chapter 0604: Straight to the Ice Palace
I have to say that the second-order ice dragon Ellentini still decorates his bedroom beautifully.
The tall and majestic palace, the wide and bright hall, the exquisite frescoes, and the splendid decorations...... It's just that all of this is included in a layer of solid ice, which gives people a strange feeling of cold to the bone while being magnificent.
Through a long straight passage, everyone entered the ice and snow world of the ice dragon Ellentini. The first thing they saw was a majestic palace, with a huge platform above the main hall, which looked like the chairs that the ice dragon had arranged for himself.
When it is not asleep, most of the time it will lie lazily on the high platform, silently enjoying the service of the dragonman, either eating and drinking, or summoning some foreign singers and dancers to help the fun. As for the government affairs in the territory...... The dragons don't bother to bother with the little things that don't matter.
Anyway, with loyal dragonman servants in charge, the dragon lord only needs to have peace of mind, patrol his territory from time to time, and proclaim his majesty to the ignorant and stupid natives.
Of course, as a female Tier 2 Ice Dragon, Irontini is neither as lascivious and profligate as the Fire Dragon Girl, nor as diligent in government affairs as the Wind Dragon Chux, but an ordinary dragon who is safe and responsible. Therefore, her territory is not large, only two or three hundred kilometers.
With the speed of a Tier 2 Ice Dragon, it only takes half a day to make a circle around the edge of the territory.
In her territory, there are many ice monsters, such as the Ice Banshee, such as the Blizzard, such as the Ice Worm, such as the Blue Devil...... Although the strength of several dragons in the surrounding area is much higher than her, because the Ice Dragon Collar is completely a cold world with ice and snow and biting cold winds, it is rarely her idea.
Therefore, Ellentini has been happy in this kingdom of ice and snow, enjoying a peaceful life for hundreds of years!
But it's a pity that today, the tranquility of this ice and snow world has been completely shattered by a group of outsiders.
Walking in the ice and snow world, which is composed entirely of ice crystals and ice edges, every wizard is excited and apprehensive.
Slay the Dragon!
What an exciting word and vocabulary!
Countless human warriors are willing to sacrifice themselves to win this illusory glory, and bravely face the terrifying dragon, in order to be able to put a 'dragon slayer' prefix in front of their surnames. In this way, even if he dies on the bed in the future, the title of dragon slayer will be passed down for thousands of years.
But for Grim, although slaying a dragon is not as easy as slaughtering a kitten or puppy, it is not as difficult as an ordinary human being, and it takes 100,000 points of effort to win that small chance of success.
The successful capture of the wind dragon Chax in front shows that after the formation of the second-order team of the Crimson family, it has initially possessed the strength of dragon slaying. Although there is still a lot of luck in this strength, it is enough to prove that they do have the basic combat power to fight face-to-face with Tier 2 dragons.
Therefore, after in-depth investigation and analysis of the lair locations and basic combat power of the three surrounding second-order dragon lords, Grim did not stop doing anything, and on the 6th day after the public appearance of the Crimson family, he came to slay the dragon with a group of subordinates.
In order to capture this second-order ice dragon, Grim and the others also made a lot of efforts and preparations.
The sorcery equipment that increased the resistance of the ice type alone cost seventy or eighty thousand magic crystals, and the cold resistance potion that temporarily offset the damage of the ice also prepared three bottles per person, which cost another fifty thousand magic crystals. As for the miscellaneous things such as anti-prophecy magic wands, invisibility scrolls, ice-melting potions, and spiritual protection potions, it also cost Grim 40,000 magic crystals.
This does not include that in order to arm Zacha, a super meat shield, Grim specially purchased a set of ice armor and two enchanted shields for him, which can help him resist most of the ice damage.
In this way, in order to slay the dragon, the Crimson family has already invested nearly 300,000 magic crystals in the ice dragon Elentini. If the dragon slaying fails, then in addition to the 300,000 magic crystals that the Crimson family has lost, they may also face the loss of the members participating in the war.
And the latter is actually the thing that every wizard family is most worried about and the most unwilling to see!
Walking through the hall, everyone walked towards the path leading to the Ice Dragon's Dormitory. All the Tier 1 wizards stayed behind and began to set up various witch formations to cut off the assistance that the ice dragon might receive after the battle began. After all, the people involved in the battle were all Tier 2 powerhouses, and the momentum caused by them could not be too small.
In case the dragonman camp senses that something is wrong, and a large number of dragonman warriors come to help, they will need four wizards to be responsible for intercepting it for a while.
In this way, although they didn't need to face that terrifying Tier 2 Ice Dragon, they would most likely need to face hordes of Berserk Dragons, so the danger was not reduced too little, and they still needed to be handled carefully.
As they got closer and closer to the Ice Dragon's Dormitory, a whistling sound of ice wind gradually sounded in the Ice Peak Corridor. The cold wind is biting, but there is a trace of the 'scales' unique to dragon creatures, and the smell is thick and fishy, which makes people almost disgusting to smell.
As an experienced Rank 2 wizard, Grim knew very well that the howling wind coming in front of him was not a natural formation, but a ...... The frosty air currents formed by the mighty ice dragon's breath and breath as he slept sweetly.
Judging from this, the ice dragon did not seem to notice the approach of the enemy, and was still asleep.
However, when the dragonman Zacha, who was at the forefront, stepped out of the straight ice-sealed road, the ice crystals under his feet suddenly made a crisp 'click' explosion sound. It may not be loud, but it is still so harsh in the silent ice palace where there is only the sound of whirring wind.
And as the ice crystals broke, several people also sensed an undetectable fluctuation of magic.
"Oops, it's a magic trap!" Grim made his decision in an instant: "Don't hesitate, rush ......"
With Grim's order, the dragonman Zacha pulled out a huge tower shield from behind his back, which was large enough to cover most of its body, raised its neck and hissed, and rushed towards the depths of the corridor with the shield in hand.
This corridor overturned by a thin layer of ice suddenly shone with a continuous stream of magical light, and as hidden magic traps were triggered, countless white and frozen gases erupted from the ice walls, under the floor, and from the ceiling.
Formed ice magic gushed out, slapping towards the dragonman Zacha like a cold ice tide.
Holding his shield high, his body was still shining with a milky white aura of ice, and he poured two bottles of ice-melting potion in one go, so that the dragonman Zacha was not frozen in place by the extremely cold and freezing air that hit like a tide. The muscles of its arms were swollen, and it erupted twice in succession before it continued to run forward against the cold wave.
Grim, Mary, and Oliver hid behind Zacha, avoiding the head-on onslaught of the cold wave. In such an extremely cold space, their strength and physique are slightly weak, and they will be frozen in place by the ubiquitous power of frost. In order to save effort, the three of them grabbed Zacha's dragon tail, and with the help of its furious and incomparable power, they rushed through this road without danger.
In the Ice Palace, the cold wind suddenly became rapid and violent.
"The ice dragon is awakening...... Once she's fully conscious, it's not so easy for us to launch a surprise attack......" Olivan, a petite but extremely experienced dragon slayer, exclaimed in a low voice.
Hearing her words, the dragonman Zacha once again burst out of strength, and his huge body accelerated suddenly, rolling like a rumbling out of control chariot and rushing straight into the Ice Dragon Dormitory with a wild momentum.
The magic trap placed in the passage by the ice dragon may be able to kill those ordinary thieves, but it is obviously not possible to help Grim and the others who have been prepared for a long time. However, if Grim and the others have been entangled in the trap for too long, when they arrive at the Ice Dragon Dormitory, they will face a terrifying dragon that is ready to attack.
And now, they did not hesitate to risk their lives, rushed through this dangerous road in one breath, and when they came to the ice dragon, the giant dragon covered in translucent white dragon scales had just opened its eyes, and the amber dragon pupils soaked in terrifying majesty were still full of confusion and chaos.
Although it had sensed the magic trap outside the dormitory, it still took a little time to suddenly break free from its deepest sleep.
So, when the ice dragon Ellentini opened his sleepy eyes, the first thing he saw was a huge and furious figure like a steel chariot. As she watched in horror, a giant tower shield grew from small to large, then took over most of Arentini's field of vision, striking viciously into her nose.
"Whew......"
Nosebleeds splashed wildly, severe pain descended, and Ellentini let out a terrible roar, completely getting rid of the fatigue and laziness after a long sleep, and instantly woke up.
As soon as she erected her slender and smooth body, three small ants suddenly burst out from behind the huge body, and at the same time poured the most terrifying attack on the elegant and beautiful body of the ice dragon.
Torrent of Flames + Burst Runes!
Blood Shadow Slash + Shadow Strike!
Broken tendons + boning + evil strike!
Three terrible enemies contributed three completely different means of attack.
Grim still uses his best and most powerful flame-based second-order sorcery 'Flame Torrent', which is a condensed bundle of elemental flames. However, after attaching the Burst Rune, this most ordinary Tier 2 Fire Witchcraft instantly became extremely terrifying.
The surging pillars of fire spewed out on the ice dragon's body, blocked by the cold and frozen air that lingered outside its body, and could only burn along the smooth and graceful body of the opponent. Ice and fire intertwine and are then detonated by bizarre bursting runes.
As a result, the surface of the ice dragon's body was like countless fireworks lit up, and it exploded into a ball in an instant.
Of course, those areas with thick ice and thick scale armor will not be affected by these flame bursts, but there will always be some areas on the surface of the ice dragon's body that are slightly weaker, and they are obviously the hardest hit areas by flame bursts.
Visible to the naked eye, the white mist around the ice dragon was suddenly dyed with a layer of crimson, and more than a dozen dragon scales the size of a bowl were blown away, revealing the flesh and blood blurred body below.
