It had to be said that the Rank 2 Ice Dragon Allentini had decorated her bedroom beautifully.
The tall and majestic palace, the spacious and bright hall, the exquisite murals, and the dazzling furnishings … However, all of this was covered in a layer of ice, giving off a strange feeling of bone-chilling coldness.
After passing through a long and straight corridor, the group finally entered the Ice Dragon Allentini's world of ice and snow. The first thing they saw was a majestic palace, with a huge platform above it. From the looks of it, it seemed to be the seat the Ice Dragon had arranged for itself.
When it was not asleep, it would spend most of its time lying lazily on the platform, quietly enjoying the service of the dragonians. It would either eat and drink to its heart's content, or summon some foreign singers and dancers to add to the fun. As for the internal affairs of the territory … the dragons would never bother to care about those 'unimportant' things.
Since there were loyal Drakonid servants in charge of the management, the Dragon Lord only had to enjoy himself in peace, patrol his territory from time to time, and proclaim his might to the foolish natives.
Of course, as a female Rank 2 Ice Dragon, Allentini was neither as lascivious as the Fire Dragon Lady, nor as diligent in government affairs as the Wind Dragon Chax. She was just an ordinary dragon who knew her place. Hence, her territory was not big, only about 200 to 300 kilometers.
With the speed of a Rank 2 Ice Dragon, it would only take half a day to circle around the border of the territory.
There were many ice-type magical creatures living in her territory, such as the Ice Banshee, the Berserk Snowman, the Ice Worm, and the Blue Devil … Although the dragons in the surrounding territories were much stronger than her, the Ice Dragon Territory was a world of ice and snow, with bone-chilling winds. Hence, very few of them had any designs on her.
Thus, Allentini lived happily in this kingdom of ice and snow, enjoying a peaceful life for hundreds of years!
Unfortunately, the tranquility of this world of ice and snow was completely broken by a group of outsiders today.
Walking in the world of ice and snow made entirely of ice crystals and icicles, every Magus was excited and nervous.
Dragon slayer!
What a stirring word and phrase!
Countless human warriors were willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of this illusory glory. They bravely faced the terrifying giant dragon, all so that they could add the prefix 'Dragon Slayer' in front of their surnames. In this way, even if he died of old age in the future, the title of Dragon Slayer would be passed down for thousands of years.
However, for Grim, although slaying a dragon was not as easy as killing a kitten or a puppy, it was not as difficult as ascending to the heavens for an ordinary human. He did not have to put in a lot of effort to fight for that tiny chance of success.
The successful capture of the Wind Dragon, Chax, meant that the Crimson Family's Tier 2 battle team had taken shape, and they already possessed the strength to slay dragons. Although a large part of their strength was due to luck, it was enough to prove that they had the basic combat power to face a Tier 2 Dragon.
Hence, after investigating and analyzing the nests and basic combat power of the three Tier 2 Dragon Lords in the vicinity, Grimm decided to go all out. On the sixth day after the Crimson Family's public appearance, he led a group of subordinates to slay the Dragons.
In order to capture this Tier 2 Ice Dragon, Grimm and the rest had put in a lot of effort and preparation.
Just the equipment that increased ice resistance cost 70,000 to 80,000 magic crystals. Everyone had also prepared three bottles of Cold Resistance Potions that could temporarily reduce ice damage, which cost another 50,000 magic crystals. As for the anti-prophecy wands, invisibility scrolls, ice-melting potions, mental defense potions, and other miscellaneous items, Grimm had also spent 40,000 magic crystals.
In order to equip Zacha, who was a super meatshield, Grimm had specially bought him a set of ice armor and two enchanted shields, which could help him resist most ice damage.
In order to slay the Dragons, the Crimson Family had invested close to 300,000 magic crystals on the Ice Dragon Alentini. If they failed to slay the Dragons, the Crimson Family would not only lose the 300,000 magic crystals, but they would also have to face the loss of their members.
The latter was actually what every Magus Family was most worried about and did not want to see!
After passing through the hall, everyone walked towards the path that led to the Ice Dragon's bedroom. All the Grade 1 Magi stayed behind and began to set up various spell formations to prevent the Ice Dragon from receiving any help when the battle began. After all, the people participating in the battle were all Grade 2 Magi, and the commotion caused would not be small.
If the Dragonborn camp sensed that something was amiss and sent a large number of Dragonborn Warriors to their aid, the four Magi would be responsible for blocking them for a while.
That way, even though they did not have to face the terrifying Grade 2 Ice Dragon, they might have to face a large group of Dragonborn Berserk. The danger did not decrease much, but they still had to be careful.
As they got closer to the Ice Dragon's bedroom, the faint sound of an icy wind could be heard in the icy mountain path. The bone-chilling wind was mixed with a trace of the Dragon's Scale Aura. The smell was thick and fishy, making people feel nauseous.
As an experienced Tier 2 Sorcerer, Grimm knew very well that the howling wind coming towards him was not natural. It was … the powerful Ice Dragon's breath that was formed when it was sleeping.
Judging from this, the Ice Dragon did not seem to notice the enemy's approach and was still sleeping soundly.
However, when Dragonman Zacha, who was walking in the front, entered a straight ice tunnel, he took a step forward, and the ice under his feet suddenly let out a clear cracking sound. The sound was not loud, but it was ear-piercing in the Silent Ice Palace where only the sound of the wind could be heard.
Along with the shattering of the ice crystal, they also sensed a subtle magical fluctuation.
"Crap, it's a magic trap!" Grimm made a decision in an instant. "Don't hesitate, charge …"
Following Grimm's command, Drakonid Zachary drew out a gigantic tower shield from his back that was large enough to cover half of his body. He raised his neck and let out a long roar, before raising the shield and rushing into the depths of the tunnel.
The tunnel, which was covered by a thin layer of ice, suddenly flashed with magical light. As the hidden magic traps were triggered, the ice walls, the floor, and the ceiling all spat out countless white streams of freezing air.
Streaks of formed Ice Magic gushed out, slamming towards Zacha the Dragonman who was charging forward like a storm, like a tide of ice.
Holding the shield high, a milky white halo of ice shone around Zacha's body. He gulped down two bottles of Ice-Melting Potion in one go, and only then did Zacha not get frozen in place by the tidal wave of freezing air. The muscles on his arms bulged, and he unleashed two bursts of strength in a row. Only then did he continue to run forward against the cold wave.
Grimm, Mary, and Olivia hid behind Zacha, avoiding the direct impact of the cold wave. In this extremely cold space, if their strength and physique were slightly weaker, they would be frozen in place by the omnipresent Frost Power. In order to save energy, the three of them grabbed Zacha's dragon tail and borrowed its incomparably violent strength. Only then did they manage to rush through the tunnel without any mishaps.
Within the Ice Palace, the cold wind suddenly became rapid and violent.
"The Ice Dragon is awakening … Once she's fully awake, it won't be easy for us to launch a surprise attack …" Olivia, who had a petite figure but was extremely experienced in slaying dragons, exclaimed in a low voice.
Hearing her words, Zacha once again unleashed his strength. His huge body suddenly accelerated, and like a rumbling war chariot that was out of control, he charged straight into the Ice Dragon's bedroom with a wild momentum.
The magic traps that the Ice Dragon had set up in the tunnel might have been able to kill the ordinary thieves, but they obviously could not do anything to Grimm and the others who were already prepared. However, if Grimm and the others were entangled in the traps for too long, they would have to face a terrifying dragon that was fully prepared to attack when they arrived at the Ice Dragon's bedroom.
But now, they did not hesitate to risk their lives and rushed through this dangerous journey in one breath. When they arrived in front of the Ice Dragon, the giant dragon that was covered in translucent white dragon scales had just opened its eyes. Its amber dragon eyes were filled with terrifying majesty, but they were still filled with confusion and chaos.
Although it had already sensed that the magic traps outside the bedroom had been triggered, it still needed some time to break free from the deepest slumber.
Hence, when Ice Dragon Allentini opened her sleepy eyes, the first thing she saw was a violent figure that was as huge as a steel war chariot. Under her terrified gaze, a giant tower shield grew in size and occupied more than half of Allentini's field of vision. It fiercely smashed into her nose.
"Awooo …"
Blood spurted out from her nose, and the pain was intense. Allentini let out a mournful roar, completely shaking off the fatigue and laziness after a long period of sleep. She instantly woke up.
Just as she straightened her graceful and smooth body, three short ants suddenly rushed out from behind that huge body, and at the same time, the most terrifying attacks poured down on the elegant and beautiful body of the ice dragon.
Torrent of Flames + Explosive Rune!
Continuous Blood Slash + Shadow Strike!
Tendon Break + Eviscerate + Sinister Strike!
The three terrifying enemies contributed three completely different attacking methods.
Grimm was still using his most proficient and powerful rank 2 fire element spell, 'Torrent of Flames', which was a condensed elemental flame. However, with the addition of the explosive rune, this ordinary rank 2 fire element spell became extremely terrifying in an instant.
The surging pillars of fire sprayed onto the body of the Ice Dragon, but were blocked by the cold air lingering around the dragon's body. The flames could only spread around the dragon's smooth and graceful body. Ice and fire intertwined, and were detonated by the strange explosive rune.
As a result, the surface of the Ice Dragon's body seemed to have been ignited with countless fireworks, and in an instant, it exploded into a ball.
The areas with dense cold air and thick scales were obviously not affected by the explosion of the flames. However, the Ice Dragon's body would always have some areas that were slightly weaker, and those areas were the most affected by the explosion of the flames.
