The Frozen Skeletal Dragon was indeed very powerful.
However, with its current strength, it was still not strong enough to contend against a party of five Type 4 powerhouses with their own strengths.
The reason why the battle was so 'intense' was because the experts were preoccupied with their own matters. They held back and could not work together to bring out their strengths.
In all fairness, in terms of individual strength, Lich Congenas, Astral Soul Turas, and Grimm were not any weaker than the Frozen Skeletal Dragon.
However, this was just an 'interesting' hunt for them. They would reap great rewards if they succeeded, but if they failed, they would return to their lair to lick their wounds and fight again. Hence, they would subconsciously avoid opportunities that required them to pay a certain price in order to deal great damage to the old dragon.
After all, this was an unfamiliar team that had been put together at the last minute and was suppressed by the will of the World of Ice. Furthermore, none of them were willing to risk their lives to fight the old dragon, which was why the battle was dragged on for so long.
However, the strength of the team was there for all to see. No matter how much the old dragon struggled and fought, it could not escape the fate of defeat!
However, what Grimm found most strange was that no matter how intense the battle was or how bad the situation was, the Frozen Skeletal Dragon did not leave the Goddess of Ice Shrine. It kept its feet on the ground and continued to fight against the experts.
He could not help but feel suspicious.
"Sand King, you don't have to fight anymore. Go to the center of this icy mountain and see if there's anything strange there. " Grimm leaped and dodged the Frozen Skeletal Dragon's ferocious pounce and tail swipe as he yelled, "I suspect that the Winter Chest is not on the old dragon, but …"
Grimm did not use mental telepathy to say this, but shouted it out loud.
Hearing that, not only were the members of the expert team stunned, even the old dragon shuddered. The soul fire in its empty eye sockets could not help but tremble.
As expected, something was wrong …
Through the old dragon's reaction, the members of the expert team immediately understood.
No wonder the Goddess of Ice Shrine had such a strange and cold aura. This aura did not originate from the Frozen Skeletal Dragon, but from the Ancient Winter Chest buried deep within the icy mountain.
Although the Ancient Winter Box possessed the powerful Ice Law, it also possessed the Death Law that ordinary people would find difficult to approach. If one were to look into its origin, the Ancient Winter Chest was actually not suitable to be Nax's origin saint artifact.
In order to advance to Tier 5, Nax did not hesitate to damage his own body to absorb the Law of Ice within the Ancient Winter Chest. This caused the power of ice in its body to become even stronger. However, the Law of Death that came with it also transformed its body into something neither human nor ghost, turning it into an Undead Bone Dragon that people despised and despised.
Although the overly intense soul modification had greatly increased its strength, it had also firmly bound it to this place. Before completing the final modification of its soul, it could not take a single step out of the Ice God Hall, nor could it soar above the blue skies like ordinary dragons.
As for why he didn't bring the Ancient Winter Box with him? The reason was very simple!
It simply couldn't withstand the powerful and terrifying nomological power within.
Evolving from a nomological law to a nomological law was not as simple as changing the word.
The Laws were the basic rules that the Plane System followed, and they were usually just a small branch of some grand Law Power.
Just like the Law of Fire, it was an abnormally large and complete system of power. And the Law of Fire that Grimm had grasped was only a small tentacle of this enormous power of law …
Only when there was enough Law Power gathered together would it be possible for Grimm to pry into the mysteries of the operation of the Law System through the Law Power he grasped.
As for grasping a complete Law Power, this … was not something that a low-level lifeform could accept or bear!
Tier 4 … In the Plane, he could be called a 'God', and was also given the title of 'Demigod'. However, in essence, he was still just a 'mortal' body. From his body to his soul, he was made up of all sorts of substances from the Plane.
Since he couldn't break free from the restraints of the Plane's Consciousness, he naturally couldn't transcend the Plane's Consciousness and act on behalf of the Plane's Laws.
All the Law Power within the Plane was controlled by the Plane's Consciousness, and it definitely wouldn't hand over its authority to outsiders. Even those that could come into contact with the power of the Plane's Laws would suffer the backlash of the Plane's Consciousness if they weren't 'honest' enough.
That was why an ancient treasure that contained the power of two different Laws was far more meaningful to the Frozen Skeletal Dragon Nax and the Lich Congenus than anyone could imagine!
Seeing that Grimm had discovered the Winter Box's location, the Frozen Skeletal Dragon Nax was infuriated and terrified.
He didn't even need to blow the horn for the final battle. With a simple sentence, Grimm had forced the old dragon to fight to the death!
If Congenus wanted to get the Winter Box, he wouldn't be able to do so if he cowered. If the old dragon decided to fight to the death and forced his companions to retreat, Congenus wouldn't be able to withstand the ferocious attacks and the terrifying cold in a one-on-one fight.
Therefore, without any explanation, the battle instantly became white-hot!
The old dragon no longer cared about the damage the cold could inflict on his body. He began to absorb the terrifying power of laws within the Winter Box and madly turned it into a blizzard that engulfed every inch of the Goddess of Ice.
At this moment in the battle, the real battle between the two sides had begun!
In such a harsh environment, the powerhouses could no longer gather their strength. They could only fight on their own and wait for the old dragon's backlash to arrive.
Whether the old dragon would use his explosive power to cripple them or wipe them out, or they would endure until the old dragon ran out of energy and suffered the backlash of the Winter Box would depend on the strength of both sides.
The Goddess of Ice could no longer see or sense anything!
Everyone's spiritual senses were suppressed to a certain limit by the bone-chilling power of the Winter Box. Even with their fourth-order senses, they couldn't extend their spiritual tentacles beyond fifty meters from their bodies.
Such a narrow 'field of vision' had obviously forced them to the edge of a dangerous cliff. If they were not careful, they would end up dead and their souls destroyed.
But no matter how dangerous it was, none of the party members chose to leave the Goddess of Ice. They simply didn't want to lose the chance to obtain the Ancient Winter Box!
Even though the Ancient Winter Box didn't seem to be compatible with their souls and they had already promised Congenus to help him obtain the dual-attribute divine weapon, the chance was right in front of them. Everyone had a good chance of fighting for it in the midst of a chaotic battle.
Who would give up on such a rare opportunity?
At the very least, Grim couldn't let it go!
At a time like this, everyone only cared about themselves. Who cared about the life and death of others?
Grimm held the Book of Darkness in his left hand and the flaming coral staff in his right. His entire body was enveloped in a blazing red domain. Shadowfiend was faintly discernible beneath him, constantly on guard against his surroundings.
Grimm walked forward without hesitation. His tight black leather suit made his figure look even taller and more imposing. His lips were tightly pursed and his gaze was cold. The skin on his smooth forehead split open to reveal a strange diamond-shaped crystal.
Under the control of the Focusing Crystal, Grimm's spiritual force was highly concentrated. Large amounts of fire energy surged out from the Vulcan Orb and the Heart of Rule, gathering around him. Once he sensed the enemy's presence, Grimm's earth-shattering attack would definitely leave him with an unforgettable memory!
As for whether he would hurt his teammates … Hehe, at this point, there was no such thing as teammates!
Anyone who dared to get close to him was someone with ulterior motives. Grimm wouldn't hesitate or go easy on them.
A violent shockwave rippled 375 meters to his left. Grimm could sense the auras of the old dragon and the Sand King from the shockwave.
The Sand King's hoarse cries of pain could be heard clearly in the murky, frigid fog. Judging from the level of power unleashed by both sides, the Sand King, who had taken quite a bit of damage in the previous battle, would probably be forced out of the 'competition' by the old dragon.
As expected, with a heart-wrenching roar, the Sand King's unique power and aura fled into the distance, charging out of the Divine Hall of Ice.
The Sand King had left!
Grimm searched for the platform in the fog while trying to figure out who the old dragon's next target would be.
The lamia, Celeste, or himself?
Congnus was a terrifying lich renowned throughout the world. If this was all he had, he wouldn't have lived up to his reputation. So, he must have hidden a portion of his combat power.
Under such circumstances, if the old dragon didn't want the others to benefit from the fight, the best choice would be to get rid of the others first.
If that was the case, the old dragon wouldn't choose the weakest lamia, but …
Before Grimm could finish his thoughts, the fog in the distance parted and the old dragon, riddled with wounds, charged at him with a roar.
First, Frost Breath opened a path, and a dazzling blue Dragon Breath surged towards Grimm in an earth-shattering manner. The range was so large and the temperature was so low that it was beyond what Grim could sense.
