Ashen Dragon

Chapter 190: Chapter 116 Battle of Glacier’s Demise (III)

“Elder Nur, what should we do?”

“Soleim, why would Lord Soleim impose such a trial on us?”

Seeing the Frost Giant warriors helpless against the Red Dragon, Koh’s expression was anxious as he sought advice from the sheltered Elder Nur.

“Do not worry, you all hold him off.”

The elderly Frost Giant sacrificer gritted his teeth, his voice trembling, as if making a firm decision.

“I will make him experience the power of Raging Winter—”

“Even if it costs my life!”

At this moment, he seemed not like a 300-year-old Frost Giant elder nearing the end of his life, but like a middle-aged sacrificer from centuries ago, ambitious and hopeful to lead his tribe to revival.

He muttered words under his breath, as if in prayer.

“O exalted Father of the Frost Giants Soleim…”

“I will unleash Your boundless power and bring Raging Winter upon the enemies of our tribe, and this, this is the best sacrifice for Your blood offering.”

“A Red Dragon.”

The cold wind howled as if cheering for him.

The old Frost Giant decisively crushed the ice crystal in his hand.

He closed his eyes tightly. The runes covering his skin flickered continuously, and the wooden staff in his hand swiftly grew white ice crystals. A bone-chilling power radiated from him to the surroundings.

In the sky, Cassius also felt this familiar ripple and looked toward its source.

“Eternal Frost Power?”

“So that ‘Winter War Axe’ wasn’t the only one, the rest… are waiting for me here.”

Cassius immediately swung his wings and changed direction, diving directly toward the old sacrificer preparing his spell.

[Agile as a Dragon] [Aerial Maneuver Technique] instantly enhanced him.

This gave the Red Dragon a terrifying boost in speed, making his figure almost invisible, appearing as a red blur to the Frost Giants.

Koh hastily and anxiously shouted.

“Stop him! At all costs!”

The Frost Giant warriors leaped from the ice cliff, charging straight at the speeding Red Dragon, clearly ready to lay down their lives.

However, they couldn’t halt him in the slightest; the enormous body of the Red Dragon, already at high speed, collided without hesitation, carrying terrifying kinetic energy. The nearly eight-meter-tall body of the Frost Giant was flung away, blood splattering and turning into a shredded mess in the air.

An impassioned Frost Giant hunter threw a beast-capturing net meant for catching giant beasts, but it was ripped apart by the Scratch Technique. With three claw marks appearing in the air, the net didn’t even have a chance to touch the Red Dragon.

Several more Frost Giant warriors perished in succession.

Finally, Koh himself took the front line, raising his shield to block, banging it with a bone rod, letting out a powerful roar.

“Red Dragon! You can kill me, but you’ll never destroy the Everfrost Tribe!”

“Lord Soleim is watching me!”

The scorching flame instantly penetrated the shield and effortlessly killed Koh behind it.

“So… this is faith?”

“These Frost Giants must not be left alive, not a single one of them.”

Watching these Frost Giant warriors rushing to their deaths, Cassius’s scaly brows knit together as he thought secretly.

However, their deaths were not in vain.

The elderly Frost Giant sacrificer finally opened his eyes, his murky blue pupils emitting a heart-stopping cold light.

A white domain enveloped the Frost Giants, giving Cassius a peculiar sense of sluggishness.

—The extreme cold meant stillness, not only putting life into eternal sleep but even bringing time and space to a standstill. Due to the eruption of this Eternal Frost Power, even time itself tended toward stagnation!

Slowly, he raised the ice-crusted staff.

“Soleim’s Domain of Frost Blades!”

Blade-like ice crystals filled the surroundings, each one exuding a freezing aura, expanding rapidly from him, soon filling the space within several meters and causing everything within hundreds of meters to move incredibly slow.

Nur trembled all over, intending to freeze both himself and the Red Dragon!

However, he overlooked one thing—this Red Dragon was a magician.

The protective magic covering Cassius’s body couldn’t fully resist the time-freezing ice blades, but it could temporarily fend off the pervasive cold, giving him enough time to cast an instantaneous spell.

“This is the correct use of Eternal Frost Power—”@@novelbin@@

“Resisting head-on won’t work, but avoiding the sharp edge is possible, thanks to Dragon’s Spells.”

[Egg of Sanctuary]

An egg-shaped magical field immediately enveloped the Red Dragon.

He struggled to break through the frosty space, teleporting himself into a temporary other-dimensional space created by the Egg of Sanctuary.

“No—”

Nur tried to wave his staff to stop it, but he too was in the extremely cold domain, unable to move, only able to watch the Red Dragon disappear.

His thoughts also became increasingly sluggish.

“It’s over…”

“Truly… the extinction of the tribe…”

This was Nur’s last thought.

The ice crystals in his hand continued to spread, rapidly filling the entire space, turning it into a world of complete ice.

As time passed, the elderly Frost Giant sacrificer was sealed in a huge ice crystal, his face frozen in despair and regret, poised to wave his staff as if he would come to life in the next second, but motionless, as if paused.

Affected by the cold, the Frost Giants finally began to move slowly again. They were in chaos, their eyes filled with panic as they looked at the old sacrificer.

“What in Soleim’s name happened?”

“Elder Nur is dead!”

“Damn it, where did that Red Dragon go?”

“Not good, he… he seems to be coming back.”

As spatial ripples emerged, a portal appeared in the void, and the Red Dragon’s head emerged once more.

“This Egg of Sanctuary truly lives up to its name, the other-dimensional space feels just like a dragon egg, so cramped it’s suffocating.”

“But this spell is terrifying, almost sealed off space itself. Even after stopping the spell, the nearby space is still so hard to break, like it’s frozen.”

Cassius, his heart skimming with relief, looked solemnly at the old sacrificer trapped in the ice crystal.

“Soleim’s followers…..”

“No Frost Giant here shall remain, not one.”

He thought again.

The ones left to guard the Holy Land were mostly loyal followers of Soleim, the targets Cassius needed to eliminate completely. Yes, he would bring these giants total destruction, not leaving a single one alive.

The Red Dragon flapped his wings, rising high into the sky, his fierce gaze fixated on the remaining Frost Giants below.

He hovered in the air, looking down at the surviving Frost Giants with a sinister grin on his face.

“It’s been so long, I haven’t used this spell yet… you should feel honored, as my first batch of experimenters.”

“Then…”

“Storm of Vengeance!”

A stirring surge of spell energy rose, and the Eye of the Storm King on the Red Dragon’s chest suddenly gleamed brightly.
