Chapter 0604: Breaking into the Ice Palace
It has to be said that the second-level ice dragon Arentini has decorated his bedroom beautifully.
The tall and majestic palace, the spacious and bright hall, the exquisite murals, the magnificent furnishings... It's just that all of these are included in a layer of solid ice. In addition to the magnificence, it also gives people a bone-chilling strangeness. Feel.
After passing through a long straight tunnel, everyone entered the ice and snow world of the ice dragon Arentini. The first thing they saw was a majestic palace. There was a huge high platform above the main hall. It looked like the seat that the ice dragon had arranged for himself.
When it is not sleeping, it will lie lazily on the high platform most of the time, silently enjoying the service of the dragon people, either eating and drinking, or summoning some foreign singers and dancers to add to the fun. As for the government affairs in the territory...the dragons never bother to pay attention to those 'insignificant' matters.
Anyway, there are loyal dragon servants in charge of the management. The dragon lord only needs to enjoy himself in peace, inspect his territory from time to time, and promote his majesty to the ignorant and stupid natives.
Of course, as a female second-level ice dragon, Ellendini is neither as lustful and dissolute as the fire dragon girl, nor as diligent in government affairs as the wind dragon Chax, but an ordinary dragon who plays his duty. Therefore, her territory is not large, only two to three hundred kilometers.
At the speed of a level 2 ice dragon, it only takes half a day to circle around the edge of the territory.
In her territory, there are many ice monsters living, such as the Ice Banshee, the Crazy Snowman, the Ice Worm, the Blue Devil... Although the surrounding dragons are much stronger than her, they are Since the Ice Dragon Territory is a completely cold world with ice and snow and biting wind, it is rare for her to have any ideas.
Therefore, Ellendini was happy and enjoyed a peaceful life for hundreds of years in this kingdom of ice and snow!
But unfortunately, today, the tranquility of this ice and snow world was completely broken by a group of outsiders.
Walking in a world of ice and snow composed entirely of ice crystals and ice edges, every wizard felt excited and anxious.
Slay the dragon!
What an exciting word and vocabulary!
In order to gain this illusory glory, countless human warriors are willing to sacrifice and bravely face the terrifying dragon, just so that they can add the prefix of 'Dragon Slayer' in front of their surnames. In this way, even if he dies on his bed of old age in the future, the title of Dragon Slayer will be passed down for thousands of years.
But for Greem, although slaying a dragon is not as easy as slaughtering a kitten or puppy, it is not as difficult as for ordinary humans to reach the sky and use 100,000 efforts to win the slightest chance of success.
The successful capture of the wind dragon Chucks previously showed that the Crimson Family's Tier 2 team has initially possessed the strength to slay dragons after it was formed. Although this strength still depends on a lot of luck, it is enough to prove that they indeed have the basic combat power to fight a level 2 dragon face to face.
Therefore, after in-depth investigation and analysis of the lair locations and basic combat strengths of the three surrounding Tier 2 dragon lords, Greem worked tirelessly. On the 6th day after the Crimson Family’s public appearance, he led a group of His men came to slay the dragon.
In order to capture this second-level ice dragon, Greem and others also made a lot of efforts and preparations.
The witchcraft equipment to improve ice resistance alone cost 70,000 to 80,000 magic crystals, and each person prepared three bottles of anti-cold potions that could temporarily offset ice damage, which cost another 50,000 magic crystals. As for those anti-prophecy wands, invisibility scrolls, ice-melting potions, spiritual protection potions and other miscellaneous things, Greem also spent nearly 40,000 magic crystals.
This does not include the fact that in order to arm Zacha, the super human shield, Greem specially purchased a set of ice armor and two enchanted shields for him, which can help it withstand most ice damage.
In this way, in order to slay the dragon, the Crimson Family has invested nearly 300,000 magic crystals in the ice dragon Ellendini. If the dragon slaying fails, the Crimson Family may not only lose the 300,000 magic crystals, but also face the loss of members who participated in the war.
The latter is actually the thing that every wizard family is most worried about and least willing to see!
After passing through the hall, everyone walked towards the road leading to the Ice Dragon's palace. All the first-level wizards stayed behind and began to set up various wizard arrays to block the ice dragon from possible assistance after the battle began. After all, those participating in the battle were all level 2 experts, so the momentum created could not be too small.
If the dragon barracks detects that something is wrong and a large number of dragon warriors come to help, the four wizards will need to be responsible for blocking it for a period of time.
In this way, although they no longer need to face the terrifying level 2 ice dragon, they will most likely have to face hordes of violent dragonmen, so the danger has not been reduced too much, and they still need to be handled with caution.
As he got closer to the Ice Dragon's palace, a faint whistling sound of ice wind gradually sounded in the Ice Peak Tunnel. The biting cold wind is mixed with a trace of the unique 'scale gas' of the giant dragon creature. The smell is strong and fishy, making people almost nauseous.
As an experienced level 2 wizard, Greem knew very well that the howling and fierce wind that rushed towards him was not a natural formation, but... the frost airflow formed by the powerful ice dragon's breath and breath while sleeping.
Judging from this, the ice dragon seemed not to be aware of the enemy's approach and was still sleeping soundly.
However, when the dragon Zacha, who was leading the way, entered a straight ice-covered corridor, he stepped out, and the ice crystals under his feet suddenly made a crisp "crack" sound. The sound may not be loud, but it still sounded so harsh in the silent ice palace with only the whistling wind.
As the ice crystals broke, several people also sensed a subtle magical fluctuation.
"Oh no, it's a magic trap!" Grimm made a decision in an instant: "Don't hesitate, rush..."
With Grimm's order, the dragon Zacha reached out from behind and pulled out a huge tower shield that was enough to cover most of its body. He raised his neck and hissed, holding the shield and rushed to the depths of the corridor.
This corridor overturned by a thin layer of ice suddenly shone with continuous magical light. As the hidden magic traps were triggered one by one, countless white cold air was spewed out from the ice wall, under the floor, and in the ceiling.
A series of ice magics gushed out, slapping towards the dragon Zacha who was rushing forward like an ice tide.
Holding the shield high, the milky white ice halo shone around him, and he drank two bottles of ice-melting potions in one breath. The dragon Zacha was not frozen in place by the extreme cold air that came like a tide. The muscles in his arms were knotted and swollen, and he burst out his strength twice in succession before he continued to run forward against the cold wave.
Grimm, Mary and Oliven hid behind Zacha to avoid the direct impact of the cold wave. In such an extremely cold space, if their strength and physique were slightly weaker, they would be frozen in place by the ubiquitous frost force. In order to save effort, the three of them grabbed Zacha's dragon tail and used its violent and unparalleled power to rush through the corridor without any danger.
In the ice palace, the cold wind suddenly became rapid and fierce.
"The ice dragon is waking up... Once she is fully awake, it will not be so easy for us to launch a surprise attack..." Olwen, who is petite but has rich experience in dragon slaying, shouted in a low voice.
Hearing her words, the dragon man Zacha burst out with power again, and his huge body suddenly accelerated, rushing straight into the ice dragon's palace with wild momentum like a rumbling out-of-control chariot.
The magic traps set by the ice dragon in the passage may kill those ordinary thieves, but obviously they can't do anything to Grimm and others who have been prepared. However, if Grimm and others entangled in the trap for too long, when they arrived at the ice dragon's palace, they would face a terrible dragon that was fully prepared for attack.
And now, they are willing to take risks and rush through this dangerous road in one breath. When they come to the ice dragon with their eyes bright, the dragon covered with translucent white dragon scales has just opened its eyes, and the amber dragon pupils filled with terrible majesty are still full of confusion and chaos.
Although it had sensed that the magic trap outside the palace had been triggered, it still took some time to suddenly break free from the deepest sleep.
So, when the ice dragon Aeritini opened her sleepy eyes, the first thing she saw was a huge and violent figure like a steel chariot. As she watched in fear, a giant tower shield grew from small to large, then occupied most of Aeritini's vision, and hit her nose fiercely.
"Ouch..."
Nosebleed splashed wildly, severe pain came, Aeritini roared shrilly, completely got rid of the fatigue and laziness after a long sleep, and woke up instantly.
When she just stood up her graceful and smooth body, three short ants suddenly rushed out from behind the huge body, and at the same time poured the most terrible attack on the elegant and beautiful body of the ice dragon.
Flame torrent + Explosive rune!
Blood shadow combo + Shadow attack!
Broken tendons + Bone removal + Evil attack!
Three terrible enemies contributed three completely different means of attack.
Grimm still used his best and most powerful second-level fire magic, "Flame Torrent", which is a condensed elemental flame. However, after adding the burst rune, this most common second-level fire magic instantly became extremely terrifying.
The surging fire column sprayed on the body of the ice dragon, but was blocked by the lingering icy air outside its body, and could only burn along the opponent's smooth and elegant dragon body. Ice and fire intertwined, and then detonated by the strange burst rune.
As a result, the surface of the ice dragon was like countless fireworks, and it exploded into a ball in an instant.
Those areas with rich icy air and thick scales will certainly not be affected by these flame explosions, but there will always be some slightly weak areas on the surface of the ice dragon, and there are obviously the hardest hit areas of the flame explosion.
It was visible to the naked eye that the white mist around the ice dragon was suddenly stained with a layer of crimson, and dozens of dragon scales the size of a bowl were blown away, revealing the bloody flesh underneath.
