As Sodelor led his team back to fight to the death, Akasha, who was on the top floor of the Magic Tower, was anxiously controlling the core. She stared unblinkingly at the blue figure that represented Natha in the light screen.
In the light screen, the petite Wood Elf was running across the chaotic battlefield.
Although the number of Snow Monsters outside the Magic Tower was decreasing, this empty space was definitely not suitable for "crossing". The elemental creatures were previously weak and overwhelmed by the Snow Monsters. Now, with the support of the Magic Tower's firepower, they gradually turned the situation around. But because of this, this area was even more dangerous!
No matter how fast Natha was, she was still sent flying several times by the shockwaves that exploded in all directions.
There was no system to distinguish between friend and foe here. Although the Balrog was under her command, it couldn't control its blazing heat and the fireballs that it released with a wave of its hand. The fireballs and ice arrows that flew over her head were more like catapults with no precision. Several times, they almost hit Natha!
This couldn't be helped. She wasn't an elemental sorcerer, and the way she controlled the magic circle was extremely inefficient. Right now, suppressing the attacks of the Snow Monsters was already the limit of what she could do.
Natha also knew this, so even though she was covered in cuts and bruises, she didn't complain at all. After rushing past the front line formed by the elemental creatures, she looked past the countless Snow Monsters and stared straight at the lever that could open the inner city gate. If she wanted to rescue Sodelor, she had to open this gate.
But just like Sodelor and the others, she couldn't fight against those cruel and bloodthirsty Snow Monsters.
Arrows kept shooting out. Because she didn't have a high "headshot rate" like Roddy, she could only try her best to remember what Roddy had taught her. She used all the terrain and even the unintentional formation of the enemy to plan her route. As for where she could rush to, she didn't even think about it.
There was only one belief that supported her to rush here alone: in order to save Roddy, she needed the help of Sodelor and the others. With just her and Akasha … they would not be able to do anything!
At this moment, Akasha, who was the only one who could see the entire situation, had her heart in her throat. She gulped down the last bottle of Mana Potion and was trying her best to hold back the burning sensation in her chest when she suddenly saw a flash of light from the other side of the palace. The little priest glanced over and immediately saw Merlinsera who was blasting away the snow monsters outside the palace. When she shifted her gaze, she felt as if she was struck by lightning when she saw Roddy …
*****
"Bang!"
The head of the snow monster, which was the same size as the head of a polar bear, exploded. The light of 'Arcana Blast' on Roddy's wristband splashed the brains far away.
Before the corpse fell to the ground, Roddy suddenly took a step back and brandished his battle axe and short sword at the same time, using brute force to hack away the arms of the other two snow monsters that approached him …
It had been two minutes since Merlinsera rushed out, but during this time, every second felt like a year for Roddy. He couldn't dodge, he couldn't fight back, and he couldn't retreat recklessly. In order to protect the "Water Essence", he had to stand still and resist the attacks of the snow monsters!
Roddy's class disadvantage was completely exposed at this moment. If he had changed his class to "Guardian" with full plate armor, he would probably be able to resist for 15 minutes … But there were no "ifs" in this world. Even if Roddy had countless ways to escape, he could only fight with his life at the moment!
And the reason why he hadn't fallen yet was that the level of the snow monsters that approached first was too low. As the high-level snow monsters kept surging in from behind, Roddy was sure that he wouldn't be able to hold on for long …
He had used all the skills he could use, the "Ring of Pardon" and other magic tools were on cooldown, the "Arcana Shield" in his belt and chest armor had been shattered, and the three bottles of high-level potions had been emptied, but the attacks of the snow monsters were getting more and more intense …
Were the Dragons that he had only met twice trustworthy? Were the Dragons recorded in the books reliable?
In this desperate situation, Roddy's willpower began to waver, and he even began to doubt whether he should trust Merlinsera. But in that instant, the cruelty of reality mercilessly taught him a lesson.
His leather armor was slashed open by the sharp claws, and blood sprayed all over the ground.
His back was hit hard, and his shoulder blade was fractured on the spot.
His short sword was stuck in the muscle of a snow monster's upper arm, and it was pulled away by the snow monster with brute force.
Then, his left arm was smashed off. After taking several heavy blows, half of his body completely lost feeling.
In just three seconds, Roddy was almost torn to shreds by the violent snow monsters. He swung his axe with all his might, but he was slapped away by a demonic snow monster that had finally gotten close. The difference in strength was obvious, and Roddy crashed into the seal of Berantulu like a kite with a broken string.
"Crack!"
The axe flew out of his hand, and his body cracked the base of the stone sculpture. Roddy endured the pain, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a huge shadow slowly appearing in the middle of the palace …
White fur, long horns that were spiral like a goat's, and a muscular body that was like a mountain pressed down on Roddy like a mountain. The shadow's face, which was 80% similar to the snow monsters, was expressionless, but the sharp teeth that protruded from its mouth revealed an indescribable hostility.
With just one glance, Roddy was sure that this was the target of the legendary mission: Berantulu.
The snow monsters stopped in their tracks and prostrated themselves before the King of Snow Monsters. The respect in their bloodline made them choose to be absolutely obedient. This was the reason why the "Water Essence" was not destroyed on the spot.
The demigod that had just awakened slowly opened his eyes, and his golden pupils carried a powerful aura that enveloped the entire palace …
"Ha …"
The demigod's face revealed a mocking smile. With just a casual glance at Roddy, he felt as if his body was being roasted by fire, and it was extremely painful!
In the next moment, Berantulu casually waved his hand, and the mountain-like pressure instantly caused Roddy's face to turn pale … He understood that if the demigod's attack hit him, even if he was ten times stronger, he would still die.
But just as the dust was about to settle, Berantulu's expression that seemed like a smile but yet not a smile suddenly changed. Immediately after, he abruptly stopped moving and looked up at the roof.
"Pa!"
The "Water Essence" that Roddy had risked his life to protect shattered without any warning. This movement was inconspicuous among the hundreds of snow monsters, but the subsequent chain reaction that followed made Roddy, who had already lost half his life, dumbfounded —
The floor of the palace began to emit a blinding white light, and the air was followed by countless explosions …
Rody wanted to open his eyes to observe, but because of the dazzling light, he had no choice but to shut his eyes tightly. He could only hear the crackling sound of something crashing into his ears, and his body was gradually covered by a cold layer of ice.
At the same time, Berantulu's anguished wails echoed throughout the palace.
*****
A hundred meters away from the palace, Merinsala, who was covered in blood, raised her head to look at the sky.
The giant "Elemental Barrier" that kept the three dungeons in a mild climate had suddenly shattered. It was not an exaggeration to describe this scene as "the heavens and the earth". The blue sky shattered in the light, and after countless runes were annihilated, the blinding sunlight of the glacial plain and the chilly wind engulfed everything …
As the temperature plummeted, thousands of "Frost Arrows" rained down from the sky, causing Merinsala's expression to change drastically. However, after she prepared her defenses, she discovered that none of the attacks that rained down like a storm had landed on her!
The snow monsters surrounding her were all impaled, and they fell to the ground with blood dripping from their bodies.
The light gradually faded, but Merinsala's face didn't show the slightest hint of joy. She staggered away from the bodies of the snow monsters, and with a tense expression, she strode toward the white palace …
At the same time, the snow monsters outside the outer city walls and the Magic Tower were also completely annihilated by the terrifying Frost Arrows. This sudden attack was so sudden that even Sodelor, who was raising his shield to defend himself, couldn't react in time.
"Gah …"
The sound of the inner city gate opening gave the soldiers in the rear a fright. They turned around and saw Natha lying in the shadow of the gate, her entire body paralyzed.
She was surrounded by more than ten ferocious-looking snow monsters … If it weren't for the sudden Frost Arrows, this Wood Elf would probably have died here!
The opening of the inner city gate meant that the "outer city walls" and the "Magic Tower" dungeon were now connected. Without a word, Sodelor waved his hand and led the troops into the inner city. Natha, who had finally succeeded, had a face full of blood. She forced herself to point at the Magic Tower and said, "It's safe there … Akasha is controlling it … We still have to save Roddy …"
Before she could finish her sentence, she fainted due to excessive blood loss.
This Wood Elf really didn't forget her original goal even when she was on the verge of death. Sodelor grasped the key information in her words and immediately determined that Akasha was the key to solving the problem. He immediately led the injured troops into the Magic Tower.
Akasha had already predicted this and rushed to the bottom of the tower. She used a few bottles of healing potions and "Recovery" to stabilize the injuries of Natha and the injured. Seeing that the troops were temporarily stabilized, Sodelor, who was overlooking the "Ice Crystal Vein", snapped out of his deep thought and turned to ask.
"Where's Roddy?"
*****
"Crack crack!"
Merlinsera walked into the palace with a tense expression on her face as she stepped on the shattered ice.
The bodies of the snow monsters almost occupied her entire vision, and the broken seal in the distance showed the origin of the aura … The Shadow Dragon sucked in a breath with lingering fear. It knew in its heart that if Roddy hadn't pointed out the magic formation on the relief, if he hadn't bought it three minutes, it wouldn't have been able to keep its life …
After all, he was a demigod.
As a member of the dragon race, she could look down on mortals, and she could even treat the snow monsters as ignorant beasts. However, when it came to the concept of "Demigod", everything had to be overturned. Demigods were powerful existences with immortal souls. It was not a realm that could be reached with pure physical strength. Even the "experts" of the dragon race had to treat them with caution. They might even avoid them in order to avoid conflicts.
In other words, Merlinsala's life was saved by Roddy again.
The word "again" made her purse her lips slightly. She swept her gaze forward, and when she finally found that figure, her heart tightened.
Roddy's body was half buried in the shattered ice shards of the Frost Arrow. His arm was dangling at an awkward angle due to the fracture, and blood was slowly dripping from his fingers onto the ground.
Could it be … that I'm too late?
The Shadow Dragon's pupils shrank, and she began to jog …
