Haruze's eyes widened. He finally saw that the person who covered his mouth was his teacher, the Count of Tónigel, and subconsciously shut his mouth. At this time, Brando also saw the other people who fell: the second and third ones who rolled down were Firas and Laurenna, and then another figure slid down and sat on them. Firas, who was sitting at the bottom, groaned. It was Miss Scholar holding a thick diary. She rolled down from the female Knight and plunged into the snow, crying out in pain. The last one was a tall guy, but he was a little unlucky and hit his head on the ice. Brando looked at the man who got up with a red forehead and recognized him as Prince Lenarette.
"Mr. Brando!"
"My Lord!" Firas and Shido immediately cried out in surprise when they saw Brando clearly. Brando looked at the two a little resentfully, but he didn't bother to tell them to be quiet because the sound of iron plows plowing through ice was coming back from afar. It was too late to say anything now, they had to run immediately.
Brando let go of His Highness the little prince, pulled out Halran Gaia and came to the side entrance, staring at the back half of the Frost Devourer that was wriggling backward. He hesitated for a moment, roughly calculating how many chances there were, but finally said, "Miss Ko Hua, I'll leave this side to you. Please open a passage immediately, I'll block it for a moment."
"No problem, Mr. Human." Ko Hua nodded immediately and began to prepare to cast a spell.
The little prince seemed to finally realize the trouble he had caused and looked at Brando with a pale face. Brando looked back at his bewildered student and sighed. He had never been a teacher to anyone in his life and cherished his only student very much, not to mention that the other party was Erouine's heir and the future king. He patted Haruze on the shoulder to reassure him. The little prince had grown a lot after experiencing the dream, and the previous situation was not all his fault. Anyone in that situation would have reacted the same way. He judged others by his own standards and felt that he couldn't force it anymore.
Haruze, however, looked very excited. He took a deep breath and said, "Teacher, I'll stay with you."
"Don't mess around, remember who you are and act like a man, okay? I won't tell Her Highness about your childish words just now." Although fighting side by side with the future king's student sounded very tempting, especially in the next battle of life and death, he believed that it would leave a deep impression on Haruze. But Brando didn't want to die. he calculated the script, he had a chance of dealing with the Frost Devourer alone, but with a burden, he was dead meat.
Besides, he didn't need his influence in Haruze's heart.
When the little prince heard Brando mention his sister, his face suddenly changed and he didn't dare to say another word. He was afraid of his sister to the extent that a mouse was afraid of a cat.
Brando glanced back, looking for someone reliable to protect Haruze. He first looked at Filas and Laurenna, then shook his head. This pair was too unreliable. But Shido couldn't do it either. The scholar herself was still a young lady who had to rely on others for external affairs, not to mention she had no ability to protect people. Finally, his eyes fell on Prince Lenarette, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your Royal Highness, I now officially entrust the future Crown Prince of our country to your protection. I believe in the credibility of the Kirrlutz Royal Family. Surely you won't let me down?"
Lenarette was slightly startled. He glanced at Haruze standing next to Brando and nodded. Brando breathed a sigh of relief. Although the nobles in Wohnde often schemed against each other, the relationship between the royal families was actually relatively good. After all, they had several common enemies, one was the feudal lords, the second was the powerful religious forces, and finally, the royal families often intermarried with each other, so they were more or less related. However, the fact that the eldest prince of Cruz dared to use the credibility of the Cruz royal family as a guarantee improved Brando's impression of his originally arrogant attitude. At least now it proved that he had the right to be proud. As the heir to a huge empire, he was not a soft-footed shrimp who dared not take responsibility.
Brando then thought that the eldest prince might be planning to rope in Erouine. After all, he had been close to Haruze from the beginning.
But this had nothing to do with him. He looked at Arreck, "Duke, you stay with me."
Arreck didn't even lift his eyelids and snorted, but he didn't refute. He probably understood that Brando didn't believe him and wouldn't let him stay with the young prince. In that case, he didn't bother to waste his breath.
In just a few words, the purple-red fat body of the Frost Devourer Worm King had shrunk back to the last part. Through the ice, the huge mouthpart dragged at the front could be seen dimly. After Brando instructed the others, he walked to the side of the road. Without saying a word, he raised his sword and slashed at one of the rings of the Frost Devourer Worm King. To his surprise, the dark blade of the Halran Gaia easily cut into the body of the Frost Devourer Worm, but it felt as if it had cut into a layer of oily skin. The thick skin was so tough that it didn't cut through. Instead, the blade almost bounced back.
Brando was stunned. The Halran Gaia was a holy sword, and the person who used the sword had the strength of Elemental Activation. He slashed it with all his strength, but there wasn't even a white mark. Not to mention a white mark, there wasn't even a dent. It was as if the skin had recovered the moment the blade was bounced back.
What kind of perverted defense is this?
It wasn't just Brando. At this moment, Ko Hua's spell was not ready yet, and the others hiding in the side tunnel also saw this scene. Everyone was shocked. Even if they didn't know what sword Brando was holding in his hand, Brando's strength was there for all to see. He was the most outstanding genius in the continent for nearly a thousand years. He had Elemental Activation at the age of twenty, and he was also the new Sword Saint candidate of Erouine's generation. He slashed with all his strength, but the fat worm's skin didn't even break.
"Count," Shido's face was pale, and she apologized profusely, "I'm sorry, it's all our fault." She thought that it was the sound of them falling that attracted the worm. Of course, this guess was actually not far from the truth. It was just that the real culprit was not her, but the little prince beside Brando. Brando waved his hand to her, indicating that it was okay. He took a step back, white light gathered on his sword, and then he slashed again.
This time, Brando used the Piercing Strike technique. The attribute of breaking through defense finally took effect. This sword opened a long bloody wound on the Frost Devourer Worm King. Of course, this long wound was relative to them. For this BOSS, it was no different from being scratched by a needle. However, the severe pain still made the Frost Devourer jump up violently. It let out a painful howl, and the ring of its body arched out of the ice tunnel and hit the ceiling. Once, twice. Brando felt like an earthquake, and the broken ice on top of his head fell straight down.
"Okay, Mr. Human!" At this time, Ko Hua suddenly shouted happily. She finally finished casting the mysterious spell. The ice wall disappeared layer by layer in front of her like a magic trick. The girl walked forward and immediately eroded a long tunnel under the glacier.
"You guys continue, I'll attract its attention for a while," Brando said to the others while holding the shaking cave wall with one hand. After the Frost Devourer was stimulated by the severe pain, it no longer retreated. Instead, it turned around and pounced on them. The ice was like water to it, unable to stop it at all. When it moved forward, it opened its mouth, and the tens of thousands of teeth in its big mouth could dig a big hole under the ice with just a bite.
The sound of the ice cracking sounded in front of him, and Brando's scalp tingled. He glanced to the side. Haruz was the first to enter the tunnel, followed by Shido, Laurenna, and Filas, and finally the eldest prince of the Cruz people. Seeing this scene, Brando had a good impression of him. He was not afraid in the face of danger. This guy still had some sense of responsibility. But Brando thought about it. Lenarette was a famous figure in history, and His Majesty the most famous emperor for decades after the Cruz people was certainly not an ordinary person.
After everyone entered the tunnel, only Brando and Arreck were left. Brando could not enter the tunnel, and Ko Hua's speed of digging with magic was definitely not as fast as the Frost Devourer. If he went in too, everyone would be finished together in the end. He had to stay and attract the monster's attention for a while, and then find a way to slip out of the tunnel.
But soon Brando felt that he was being a little too heroic. In front of him, the ice was cracking layer by layer. It looked like a snow-white rose was blooming under the blue ice, but both of them knew that it was not a rose, but more and more cracks under the ice.
Finally, layers of cracks floated to the surface of the ice, causing the ice to bulge with a crack, and then burst apart, splashing forward. Brando only saw a blur in front of him, and countless teeth seemed to grow out of the ice wall in front of him, spinning and pouncing on him. All the ice was swallowed back into those teeth, and then a squirming mouthpiece was revealed. Just the size of this mouthpiece made him look up. Brando felt the stench, but he also knew that this was the king of the Frost Devourer.
"Arreck, don't play tricks if you want to live!"
At this point, there was no way to retreat. Brando could only summon all his courage, roar, and stab the monster's upper jaw. The squirming mouth was like a concentric circle from the outside to the inside, and each layer was made up of countless sharp teeth. The direction that Brando's sword pierced was the upper half of this circular mouth. He had already tested the defense of this thing, so he did not hesitate to use a piercing strike. The blade was facing upwards, and the sword pierced into the huge mouth, almost reaching the hilt. A stream of pus and blood gushed down from above, almost drenching Brando's face.
This sword could be said to have exhausted Brando's courage. He was now almost standing in the monster's mouth. As long as the monster closed its mouth regardless of the pain, there would be no Count Tónigel in Wohnde tomorrow, only the excrement of the Frost Devourer. Fortunately, the excrement of the Frost Devourer was some substance similar to ice crystals. It was colorless and odorless, so it was not too disgusting.
But now it was hard for Brando to say whether his gamble was right or not. He held the hilt of the sword tightly with one hand, and the other hand pressed on the monster's upper jaw full of sharp teeth. Fortunately, he was wearing Bahamut's Blessing, and the magic gauntlet protected his hand from being pierced into a sieve. At the same time, he used his foot to press against the monster's lower jaw to prevent it from closing its mouth. Unfortunately, the flesh gauntlet had been completely scrapped in the battle of Ampere Seale. Now he was only wearing a pair of ordinary military boots, which did not have a metal sole for anti-slip purposes. Under this step, Brando understood what it meant to have ten fingers linked to the heart. Although he now knew that this word could also be used to describe the foot.
He felt that the soles of his feet were completely pierced, and the pain was almost convulsing. Fortunately, the monster was not any better than him. Its upper jaw was pierced by the Halran Gaia, and the pain was so painful that it wanted to roll around in this ice path. It desperately wanted to swallow the little thing stuck in its mouth, but unfortunately, Brando was not to be trifled with. His vision turned black, and he had already activated the Berserk Talent. Under the double strength amplitude, the Frost Devourer did not succeed.
Brando knew very well that the Frost Devourer was strong in defense, so the players needed to use the magic ballista to deal with it. But its attack power was at the level of the average Boss at this stage, or even weaker. Otherwise, this battle would be impossible to fight, and the players would probably complain to the game company. It was the same here. Brando felt that this monster's attack power might only be slightly stronger than in the game, but it was also limited. At this stage in the game, the tanks who had not yet reached the level of Elemental Activation could withstand this Boss. There was no reason why he, a warrior with Elemental Activation and the double strength amplitude of the Berserk Talent, could not hold this big guy back.
It was just that the tanks in the game had a complete team of healers behind them, but he did not have one here. He knew very well that he could not fight a protracted battle with this thing, or he would definitely be finished.
"Arreck, what are you waiting for?"
Of course, Arreck was not waiting, but even he could not help but be a little dumbfounded at this moment. The huge mouth of several people's height was in front of him, and the densely packed teeth reminded him of the barbed winches in his underground torture chamber. This huge mouth had now become a flattened oval, and Brando was trapped inside. Of course, he knew that Count Tónigel was waiting for him to make a move, but at this moment, the old fox's expression kept changing.
He knew very well that at this time, as long as he made a move from behind, the opponent would be dead. But the problem was that the truth was also in front of him. As long as Brando died, he would definitely be next. This Frost Devourer obviously did not understand the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. If teleportation spells could still be used, he could consider leaving Brando behind and running away, but the problem was that since entering the Promenade of Meditation, almost the entire area of the Spiral Hall was completely covered by the constant Dimensional Anchor. The so-called teleportation spells were just wishful thinking.
He sighed. The other party had obviously thought this through and dared to leave his back to him. Unless he risked everything and died together with Brando, he would not dare to touch this guy at all.
Thinking this through, Arreck asked with a gloomy face, "How do you want me to help?"
"Do you have any spells that can block this guy's mouth?" Brando asked, covered in blood.
"There is, but it's hard to say how effective it will be," Arreck replied. "You know very well that you have the strength of Elemental Activation. If it's difficult for you to block it, my spells won't be effective."
Arreck's words were not out of Brando's expectations. In fact, even Arreck's thoughts at the moment could not escape his guess. It was nothing more than running away alone or staying in the same boat with him. Even in the worst case, if Arreck wanted to die together with him, it was actually just the other party's wishful thinking. He still had the Elapsed Needle in his hand, and he could rely on this thing to save his life at any time. Under the acceleration of the passage of time by ten times, the whole world was basically stagnant for him. It was because of this that he dared to stay and stall for time.
"Then use an Ice Wall Spell to seal its mouth," Brando said immediately.
"Ice Wall Spell?" Arreck was stunned. That thing could be used to block the goblins, but would it work on this thing?
"That's right, release it quickly," Brando roared.
The duke snorted in displeasure, but his hands were not slow. He gestured with his cane, and a thin layer of ice as thin as glass appeared in front of Brendel, just in time to seal the Frost Devourer's mouth. However, no matter how Arreck looked at it, he felt that this spell was not very reliable, because in just a moment, obvious cracks appeared on the ice wall.
But the next moment, he suddenly saw a purple mist gushing out of the giant worm's throat, but the mist was just blocked behind the ice wall. Arreck was well-informed and recognized what it was at once, "Petrification Spit!?"
"You're quite knowledgeable." Brando replied, "Now your task is to constantly reinforce this ice wall. We can hold on for half an hour, and then we can retreat."
Arreck looked at Brando suspiciously, and he was more and more convinced that this guy was the successor of the Darkness Dragon. Otherwise, the ordinary Frost Devourer would not have any spitting ability. How could he predict the ability of this mutant monster so accurately? But thinking about it, he still asked very cautiously, "How do we retreat?"
