Chapter 116: The Feud of Ice and Fire
"I think I know who's across from us. Rogge, who was hiding behind the wall in the corner of the cave, said to the little owl on his shoulder, "How about a delicate combination?
"Your so-called subtle coordination is to let me be a target to attract firepower!" Lilith said as she frowned and stared at Rogge.
"Then if you don't, we'll have to go back the way we came, and then you'll fly back with me through the flying ice swords and fireballs. Rogrepi said with a smile.
"I knew it wouldn't be good to follow you!" the little furball snorted, flapped his wings and slipped out of the wall, and Rogge stood behind and looked at her with a smile on his face, "You never remember when you ate something good!"
The little furball flew forward close to the top of the cave, silently approaching the white figure, who at first did not notice the little one's approach, but soon he spotted the little black owl reflected in the flickering fire on the cave wall.
The man jerked his head up, his eyes kicking out two wrist-sized rays of light, and Lilith glided sideways, the beam of light passing under her claws and hitting the top of the cave, with a loud bang, and the roof of the cave was blasted into a large crater by the beam.
The man's eyes narrowed as he missed the blow, following Lilith's flight path across the walls of the cave, leaving a cracked dent in the wall and a cloud of rubble and dust scattered from above the cave.
Lilith's petite figure deftly passed through the scattered rubble, and the immobilizing beams of light radiated from her eyes fixed several large stones that were about to hit her in mid-air, and then flew under the stones at a rapid speed, fluttering in the air and whirling over the white-robed man's head.
The white-robed man turned around suddenly, and was about to shoot again, when a figure galloped behind him, and before he could react, Rogge had already thrown him to the ground, and his right hand grabbed his head, pressing him to the ground with his eyes down.
The controlled white-robed man supported the ground with both hands, and two energy waves were released from his palms, and his body suddenly bounced up, Rogge's strength couldn't suppress him, and he was flipped backwards to the ground, and the white-robed man turned around and kicked his eyes, and two beams of light shot straight into Rogge's chest.
"Danger!" Lilith screamed in the air, swooping down and closing her eyes on Rog's chest, and after a few moments, she opened her eyes and blinked twice, looking back to see Rog holding his left claw blade aloft, two bright lights shooting at the surface of the claw blade, blocked by solid metal.
"You're such a cute seller, you loyal little villain!" Rogge looked down at the little furball lying on his chest, pouted, and said, "You don't really think you're big enough to help me block this blow, do you?"
He jumped backwards with his feet kicked, stood firm, and shouted to the white-robed man, "Hey, Dean Kevin, if you don't mind, you might as well save some magic to deal with William!"
Hearing his words, Kevin, the dean of the School of Magic, blinked and stopped the release of the "Heavenly Eye" beam, casting a cold gaze on his face.
Rogge lowered his head casually, looked at the small hairball hanging upside down on his chest with his claws hooked by his clothes, and asked with slanted eyebrows, "Are you planning to turn yourself into a bat?"
"You haven't admitted that I saved your life!" Lilith pouted and said solemnly, "If you don't admit it, I won't come down!"
"I don't mind if you hang like this all the time!" Rogge smiled evilly and raised his eyebrows at her, striding up to Kevin, "Where's Antonio?"
Before the words fell, a black-robed man walked quickly from behind Kevin, Antonio's face met Rogge's eyes, he glanced at Kevin with a blue face and a provocative Rogge, and finally his eyes fell on Lilith hanging on Rogge's chest, and asked, "What's going on?"
"Don't worry about this, it's a personal matter!" Rogge pointed to the small furball hanging upside down, looked at Antonio's surprised face and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
"You're right, William isn't here, but we've found something strange here. Antonio beckoned to the two and said, "Come with me!"
"Wait a minute!" Rogge stretched out his hand to grab Antonio, who was about to turn away, and said to him with a solemn face, "I have bad news for you." ”
Antonio turned his head when he heard this, looked at him with a frown, his heart suddenly felt ominous, and asked in a deep voice: "The rescue operation failed?"
"Not really, the Georgians have been reunited at the Academy of Magic. Rog shook his head repeatedly, and Antonio was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "Then what other bad news will there be?"
"The griffons and knights you left in the forest outside the cave have been killed. Rogge said in a heavy tone.
"What?" Antonio's eyes widened in surprise as he stepped forward to stare at Rogge's face, his eyes flashing with intense suspicion, but the firmness in Rog's expression was tougher than his, forcing him to accept the reality.
Rogge told him everything he had seen, and after recounting the scene, he sighed and said, "Speaking of which, I never figured out what the hell William was up to, and why did he attack your griffin?"
"He's clearly trying to weaken our mobility, and without the griffin as a mount, we can't hunt him down anymore!" Dean Kevin replied with a contemptuous glance at Rogge, without hesitation.
"But Dean," Rogge asked, looking back at Kevin's face as he was lit by the fire of the wall, with a suspicious gaze, "even if the Knights have a griffin as a mount, it will still be difficult for us to track down William, we have not been able to seize the opportunity all along, and there is no need for him to spend so much effort to kill the griffin!"
"He must have some other purpose!" Antonio said with a gloomy face.
The three of them were silent for a moment, and then Rogge suddenly looked up and asked, "Have you seen Murphy and them?"
Hearing his words, both Antonio and Kevin frowned, and Antonio shook his head and said, "No, aren't they with you?"
Rogge told them about the separation from the trio, and Antonio said that he never saw Murphy and the others, which made them all worried.
"Since they didn't go into the cave, maybe they found something else," Rogge calmly analyzed: "I found no traces of fighting in the place where they disappeared, which means that they were not forcibly taken away by William, and the matter may not be too bad." ”
While the three of them were talking, a knight's voice suddenly came from the depths of the cave: "Commander, something is wrong!"
Antonio heard the shouts and hurriedly turned and entered the cave, followed by Rog and Kevin, who came to the entrance of a rectangular cavern with ice on the left and fire on the right.
They saw a flame burning on the ground on the frost side, and a cloud of ice piled up on the ground on the flame side, and at this time there was only a speck of flame and ice that was about to disappear.
"What's going on?" asked Antonio as Rogge looked at the fading flames and ice.
"When we came in just now, we docked the bridge of ice and fire in the hall outside, and then a large number of fire and ice elements appeared, and we dodged their attacks all the way to here, and we found such a scene, the flames in the frost were slowly extinguishing, and the frost in the flames was gradually melting. ”
Antonio's solemn face revealed a faint uneasiness, and he looked back at Roger and Kevin with an inquiring gaze, as if to ask: What would happen here if the ice and flames disappeared?
Before Rog and Kevin could reply, the last of the flames and the last of the ice disappeared at the same time, and the entire cavern fell into a deathly silence, and a moment later, there was a sudden loud noise in the hall outside, and the earth shook violently.
"Get out, get out!" Rogge shouted, leading the crowd out of the house, and when they reached the door of the Flame Gate, they were stunned by the scene in the hall.
A cloud of flames leaped from the deep ditch beneath the bridge of ice and fire, transforming into a flame giant half the height of the hall, holding a flaming whip and letting out a deafening roar.
At the same time, a cloud of ice crystals descended from the ice above the bridge of ice and fire, turning into a frost giant as tall as the Flame Giant, holding a crystal clear ice spear, and slashing at the Flame Giant head-on.
"It's ...... This is ......" Kevin's eyes widened in surprise when he saw this scene, and he looked at the two giants who were fighting and shouted: "This is the Fire Demon and the Ice Demon!
"Now we know why William brought us here. Rogge said with a meaningful look back at Antonio.
The roars of the Ice Demon and the Fire Demon reverberated through the hall, and the sweeping fire whip continued to scatter the flames on the side of the Frost Temple, and the ice elementals on the ground were swept away by the fire whips, and the bursting flames melted all the ice elements that came into contact with them into water.
Not to be outdone, the Ice Demon's Ice Spear rained down hail in the area of the Temple of Flames with each swing, and the fire elemental on the ground touched the scattered rain of ice, and was either extinguished into a pile of ashes or frozen into hard frost.
The two big men fought on both sides of the Bridge of Ice and Fire, and the Ice Spear and Fire Whip struck the walls of the Ice and Fire Hall from time to time, scattering the broken rubble, and the entire cave crumbling in the battle between the two demons of Ice and Fire.
Suddenly, the Ice Demon raised the Ice Spear in his hand and threw it at the Fire Demon, the Fire Demon turned into a flame and dissipated in the air, and the Ice Spear passed through the flames and flew straight in the direction of the Flame Gate where everyone was standing.
Rogge and the others hurriedly retreated into the flame gate, and the ice spear stabbed down on the ground in front of the flame gate, instantly extinguishing the burning flames on the ground in front of the door, and a layer of frost spread out in all directions.
The fire demon who regathered his body swung the fire whip and whipped it towards the ice demon, the ice demon raised his right hand to grab the burning whip, and flew to the ground to throw the fire demon to the ground, the fire demon's hand smashed backwards in front of the flame door, and a blazing flame roared into the door, drowning Rogge and the others in the sea of fire in an instant.
