The Subterrane Dwellers were not worth mentioning, but the sudden collapse was a huge problem for Arreck. When no one expected it, a huge crack suddenly appeared on the ice, and with a violent tremor, a half-mile long tunnel under the ice collapsed. Huge chunks of ice came crashing down from all directions, and the nobles' private soldiers were instantly killed or injured.
The wizards beside Arreck immediately used spells to support a light green barrier. The ice and snow that weighed more than a few tons squeaked as it pressed against the barrier. The ghostly faces of the wizards immediately paled, making them look more like their own kind. It was a pity that Shitah did not intend to completely collapse his nest. Otherwise, they might be finished along with his little spell. Shitah walked through the falling ice as if he was taking a leisurely stroll. Frost Dragons could hide themselves in Ice Breath. Through the ancient ability hidden in their blood, as long as they adapted to the environment, human powerhouses would definitely not be able to discover them.
He silently came to Arreck's side and stretched out his claws, wanting to tear this guy into pieces. But at this time, the two Black Knights beside Arreck suddenly turned around, and the red eyes under the steel masks lit up slightly.
"What is that?!" They shouted at the same time.
Shitah jumped in fright and rushed forward, spreading his wings and crashing into their chests. With a muffled bang, the two Black Knights' breastplates caved in like cardboard, and they flew out at the same time, crashing into the ice wall behind them. Shitah rushed forward and picked up the two corpses that had almost been smashed into metal plates. He did not dare to stay any longer and turned around to flee. Fortunately, the ice cave was shaking violently, and large amounts of ice and snow fell from above with a loud rumble. For a moment, no one noticed that two people were missing.
It took a lot of effort for the wizards around Arreck to stop the collapse and dig a tunnel through the ice. The former Duke finally had the time to do a headcount, and found that at least three hundred of his private soldiers were missing. The Knight of Order had also suffered heavy casualties.
His face immediately darkened.
"Pfft." Devard spat out the snow in his mouth and walked over unhappily. He looked around with some fear. The power of nature was unimaginable to mortals. Even if he was an Elemental Awakened powerhouse, if the ice on both sides really collapsed, he would only be able to turn into a piece of solid ice that would be frozen forever.
"This must be the work of those Cavemen." The female Knight beside Arreck covered her face and said hatefully. Sylvia's face was scratched by the sharp ice in order to protect her lord. Her face was covered in blood, and she looked terrifying.
Devard nodded. No one thought that the owner of this place had not left at all. They personally felt the Dragon's Aura that came from dozens of miles away. No one could imitate such an aura...
"Fortunately, they have retreated." Devard replied with some lingering fear.
Arreck looked at the tunnel that was temporarily opened. The Cavemen had indeed disappeared without a trace. Dragons always had their followers. For example, the Black Dragon and the Goblins, the Red Dragon and the Kobolds often mixed together. The Silver Dragon often received the service of the Elves, and the Gold Dragon liked to live with the Fairies. It was not unusual for the Frost Dragon to leave some Cavemen in its lair for him to command.
He thought for a moment and felt that there was nothing out of the ordinary, so he said, "Let's move on."
What the Duke did not expect was that Shitah was also scared out of his wits. He did not expect the Black Knight to be so powerful that he almost exposed his whereabouts. With this lesson, Shitah immediately decided to give up on attacking these humans. Instead, he found a safe place to hide and see what they were up to.
Shitah felt that he was playing a game with these humans, but safety was his first consideration. This had nothing to do with courage, but wisdom. At least, that was what he thought.
So in the following time, he secretly followed behind these humans and did not attack. He saw that they did not feel bored at all through the long tunnel under the ice. He could not help but think that these humans were really boring.
But soon, he saw the group of humans walking into his lair —
Arreck slowly walked into the hall that was naturally formed by the ice. The hall was very spacious, but the surrounding ice formed a variety of strange prisms, and the whole hall was tinged with a faint blue hue. There was also a thin layer of ice fog on the ground. He looked up and his eyes fell on the trapezoidal ice wall in the middle of the hall. In the center of the ice wall was a rare gemstone. It was a gray gemstone, shining brightly without refracting the fire. From the inside to the outside, it emitted a bright light, as if there was a sun inside.
Arreck pursed his lips and looked at the scene. The pale light from the gemstone carved a few deep shadows on his thin face. Although he was always serious, he had to admit that he had never seen a gemstone of such an amazing size. This gift from the ancient times was as tall as a person. Such a crystal did not exist in nature at all. It could only be a man-made creation.
The Duke looked back indifferently. No one had ever seen the Heart of the Dragon, but the wizards could feel the endless power emanating from the gemstone. It was pure magic, the essence of magic after purification. The wizards of All for One could not help but reply with a trembling voice, "My Lord, that may be the Heart of the Dragon."
Arreck nodded. In fact, he felt it himself. He had been in the realm of the peak of Gold for some time, and he could sense the power of the gemstone. He could feel the waves of resonance emitted by the gemstone, as if there was a turbulent energy restrained in it, and it would break out at any time.
According to historical records, the Heart of the Dragon was an eternal source of energy, just like what they saw in front of them.
Seeing Arreck nod, the wizards immediately moved. They started from the periphery of the hall and used magic to explore the floor of the hall inch by inch. Although the pride of the dragons was unlikely to set up a trap, who knew if there would be a scum among the dragons?
The result was just as Arreck expected. The wizards soon returned with news that there were no traps, even on the icicle and the gemstone.
The gloomy look on Arreck's face eased a little, but it was still scary. He turned back and ordered the Black Knight behind him, "Go and take it down. Be careful not to break it. You should know how important it is to us."
The Black Knights nodded and did as they were told. Under the leadership of a Knight Captain, a dozen Black Knights came to the icicle together. But it was at this time that something strange happened. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the dozen Black Knights, including the Knight Captain with Elemental Activation, disappeared without a trace.
Everyone was stunned.
So much so that the hall under the ice was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
Those were thirteen Elemental Activation powerhouses, as well as a true master of Elemental Activation. There was no reaction at all, and they disappeared just like that? The wizards could not help but rub their eyes, almost thinking that they had seen wrongly.
Arreck turned his head coldly and looked at his subordinates. "What's going on?"
The wizards looked at each other. No matter how they looked at it, it seemed like a trap. However, they had already checked it out, and there shouldn't be any problems at all. As for the Grand Duke's question, they had no way of answering it and could only stand there dumbfounded.
A disappointed look appeared on Arreck's face. He pointed at the private soldiers on the other side and ordered, "You guys go over."
The faces of the private soldiers immediately changed, but they had no choice in this place. They could only tremble and walk in that direction.
But it was at this moment that a miracle happened. The private soldiers of the nobles stood under the icicles perfectly fine. It was as if everything that had happened before was just an illusion.
Arreck was slightly startled and could not help but frown. But after a moment of hesitation, he immediately ordered the Black Knight, "You guys go over."
The Black Knight's performance was much better than the private soldiers. They bowed slightly and then walked towards the icicles. But this time, when they were about thirty feet away, the same thing happened again. With a soft swoosh, all the Black Knight, including the private soldiers of the nobles, disappeared without a trace.
Now everyone was stunned. The private soldiers of the nobles could be ignored as cannon fodder, but the two batches of Black Knight, together with the one lost in the previous collapse, were almost a third of the Black Knight that had been brought out in this operation. Even if the Privy Council were to investigate this loss, it was not something that anyone could bear responsibility for.
Nearly a hundred Elemental Activation powerhouses had disappeared just like that. No one could accept such a contrast. Arreck's face was as cold as ice, complementing the surrounding environment. He seemed to have finally realized something. He turned around and roared, "Who is it! Get out here! "
The Grand Duke's voice rolled and echoed in the ice cave, but unfortunately, there was no response. This was because Shitah was lying on the ground looking at what was happening under the ice. He could not help but roll around on the ground and let out a hissing laugh. But if someone happened to be there at this moment, they would see a white ball of flesh rolling around on the ground. No one would be able to tell that it was a dragon. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
