F * ck you …
If not for the millennia of loneliness and coldness that had eroded all of Congenus's feelings and emotions, he would have cursed his disloyal teammates.
Damn it, I'm a spellcaster!
Do you expect me to deal with that unreasonable bone dragon when you're all hiding?
Before he could finish cursing in his mind, the crimson soul fire in his eye sockets shook violently.
Damn it, that bone dragon is here …
The surroundings were still shrouded in thick fog and icicles.
Even with Congenus's' slender 'body, it would be difficult for him to move through it.
The forest of icicles was still as peaceful as ever. The fog flowed silently, as if nothing had changed.
While he couldn't 'see' the bone dragon's body or 'hear' its footsteps, the strange chilling aura thickened. It was so cold that he couldn't help but shrink his soulfire and shiver.
Without hesitation, Congenus raised the strangely shaped, short-handled bone staff in his hand. A greyish-white shockwave of deathly aura engulfed everything within a hundred-meter radius, corroding everything in its path.
The crystalline forest of icicles, in particular, turned black and yellow from the corrosion before crumbling into a pile of black ash. Even the ever-present Ice Crystal Mist was thinned by the impact, vaguely revealing the surrounding scenery.
Within the fog, a towering figure shrouded in blue light appeared and charged at Congenus with a roar.
With a wave of the White Bone Staff, a few strange figures appeared and blocked the path of the Bone Dragon's charge.
One of them was the beginner Grade 4 Hardbone Dragon, the other two were also beginner Grade 4 Retribution Knights, and the other was a middle-grade lich.
Sensing the vast Dragon Might pressing down on him like a mountain or a sea, as well as the ferocious aura that could topple mountains and overturn seas, Xiao Chen's heart sank. Had it not been for Congenus's command, the Hardbone Dragon would never have gone head-on against the Frozen Bone Dragon.
Unfortunately, as a soul slave under the Lich, the only thing the Hard Bone Dragon could do was to sacrifice itself and wipe out all its enemies.
Hence, amidst a deafening rumble, the two Bone Dragons of different attributes and sizes clashed fiercely against each other.
In the next moment, a ripple of energy swept out, and all the creatures that did not meet the required size were swept up uncontrollably. They were thrown to the periphery by the violent and ferocious shockwaves.
Then, broken dragon bone fragments and powder-like ice shards were blown away in all directions by the raging wind. Amidst a burst of strange popping sounds, the surface of several thick icicles near the battlefield crackled as they were hit by the bone fragments and ice shards. In an instant, many honeycomb-like holes appeared.
The Lich and Lich were sent flying, and only the Bone Dragon and the two Undead Knights barely managed to stay on the battlefield.
Huge blue ice shards and powder rolled up, once again overturning the ferocious battlefield.
The turbid air and the overflowing violent energy stirred up the space. Any mental strength that entered the battlefield was crushed, and it was difficult to see what was going on inside.
A Hard Bone Dragon and two Retribution Knights were fighting against the Frozen Bone Dragon … Although both sides were at Grade 4, the huge difference in strength was not something that could be easily overcome by numbers.
After a moment, the battlefield suddenly fell silent.
A huge Bone Dragon's skull was thrown out, and it skidded on the cracked ice ground for a hundred meters before coming to a stop. Through its empty eye sockets, one could see that the Bone Dragon's soul fire had been extinguished. It was clearly dead.
As for the two Retribution Knights, they remained in the ice crystal fog and did not show themselves. However, considering the difference in strength between both sides, it was easy to imagine what would happen to them!
Congenus, who had flown a thousand meters away, roared in exasperation, "Sand King, I know you have recovered. Immediately, immediately, block this fellow for me right now. Otherwise, our deal will be nullified … "
The Lich could not help but feel exasperated. While a Grade 4 Hard Bone Dragon was not a top-tier War Pet, it was still one of the top elite slaves under Congenus.
Now, it had been sacrificed on the battlefield for no reason, and two Retribution Knights had been sacrificed … Even the Lich, who had lived for thousands of years, felt the pain of such a huge loss!
These Grade 4 Undead Slaves weren't low-level Undead that could be recruited in droves from the Skeletal Plane. Many elite Grade 4 slaves were actually created by the Lich with his superb necromancy skills and alchemy, using expensive magical materials and gems.
Losing one was enough to break his heart, and losing three in one go was even more painful than having a dagger plunged into his heart.
However, no matter how many or how expensive the slaves were, they were not as important as his own life!
That was why the Lich did not hesitate to abandon them when it came to a moment of life and death.
As if sensing the Lich's rage, the Sand King's strange insect body burrowed out of the ground and wriggled its fat butt in front of Congenus once more.
With the protection of the meat shield, Congenus was finally able to relax. He floated to the ground and quickly dictated a spell with the help of the Grade 4 Lich, preparing to unleash an ultimate necromancy spell.
Energy surged within the ice crystal fog, and dragon roars could be heard. The Frozen Bone Dragon Nax seemed to be fighting with the lamia Shina again.
The battle was intense!
In an instant, flames burst out from the depths of the fog. Grim took the opportunity to sneak up and tossed a Molten Core Fireball at Nax's abdomen.
Ice and fire intertwined …
Ice-type spells were a branch of water-type spells, and they had the same effect as fire-type spells. Thus, even Nax found it difficult to endure the terrifying pain that penetrated his soul as he was roasted by the ferocious flames.
Another shrill dragon roar that tore through the clouds rang out, followed by clouds of blue mist chasing after a flaming figure, smashing a wide path through the forest of ice clusters in the hall.
Just as the ice and fire burned, a huge psionic formation appeared on the ground where the blue fog was the thickest. Immediately after, countless beams of psionic energy converged and coated Nax's huge and imposing body with a layer of strange light.
The next moment, psionic energy exploded!
A portion of the power of ice within Nax's body was disrupted and turned into chaotic energy, causing it to instantly lose control of a portion of its dragon body.
"Bastards … You damned bastards … I will …" Before the Frozen Bone Dragon could finish its roar, it was interrupted by another wave of attacks.
The entire hall instantly turned into a slaughterhouse of blood and flesh. Large amounts of ice energy seeped out of Nax's body, 'polluting' the surrounding space to the point where it was extremely filthy.
Taking advantage of his teammates holding back his opponent, Congnus and the necromancer's Dark Blood Rain fell from the sky and covered the entire Goddess of Ice.
The gloomy sky darkened once more.
Thick black clouds rose from the ground and quickly covered the entire battlefield.
As the light dimmed to a point where it was hard to see, a putrid stench of rain fell from the sky. Amidst the disgusting stench, the rainwater splashed as it fell on the ground.
It wasn't normal rain, but rotten blood.
Under the baptism of the evil 'blood rain', the ice crystal fog was corroded, revealing the horrifying high-level battlefield below. The ice crystals quickly melted under the blood rain, giving the two combatants more space to maneuver.
The battle had only lasted a few minutes, but Serpentina was already heavily injured. She gritted her teeth and retreated from the battlefield.
Her once beautiful upper body was now purple and blue, and one could see the light blue frost marks left by the invasion of the frigid air everywhere. A lot of flesh and blood couldn't withstand the corrosion of the power of extreme coldness and exploded into fine ice shards, leaving behind large and small bloody holes on the ground.
Fortunately, the temperature in the hall was extremely low. The wounds on her body were frozen by the frost energy, so she didn't lose too much blood. Otherwise, Sichina's combat power would be reduced by more than 30% due to the blood loss from the holes that were densely packed like honeycombs.
Half of her wriggling snake hair had already frozen to death. The ice crystal snakes were rapidly eroding and exploding into ice shards that filled the sky. As for the long snake tail behind him, it was now cut in half. Although the remaining tail was covered in fine scales, it was still cut by the sharp ice blades and snow swords.
She slithered on the ground with such a snake tail. Every step she took caused her snake hair to stretch and her teeth to clench.
As for the Sand King, who was the main force in the battle, he was also in a miserable state.
The thick insect armor covering the surface of his body was already full of cracks. Every time he collided with the Frost Bone Dragon, stinky and filthy insect blood would spurt out from the cracks, dyeing the ground with dark spots.
One of the Sand King's giant pincers was bitten off, and the scorpion tail behind him was broken as well. It hung on the flesh and scales, barely hanging on.
In comparison, Grimm and Torras, who were spellcasters, were in a much better situation.
The two of them roamed around the periphery of the battlefield.
When they saw an opportunity, they would flash over and attack like a storm. Once they found out that the Frost Bone Dragon had the intention to focus fire on them, they would turn around and run without hesitation. As for the dignity and glory of a Grade 4 powerhouse … Those things were better left for the 'martyrs' to enjoy!
There was a dark rain of blood above, a rotten land below, and a few Grade 4 powerhouses in the middle. Although the battle was still in a stalemate, from the overall situation, it was obvious that Grimm and the invaders had the upper hand.
Even if the Frost Bone Dragon Nax had outstanding combat ability, it couldn't withstand such a terrifying pressure when five powerful evil beings gathered together.
