The rocks that originally covered the dragon's body had somehow turned into solid ice.

Under the lamplight, its massive body had a magical, ethereal blue hue.

Logically speaking, such a huge size should have caused quite a commotion, perhaps even deafening.

But it didn't.

It hovered silently and quietly in the sky, its wings barely moving.

If it hadn't blocked the moonlight, it might not have been noticed at all.

Suddenly, a series of orderly horns sounded from all over Flying Dragon City, creating an atmosphere as if they were going to war.

"Welcome, Lord of Ice!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than an extremely cold storm struck.

The glass window in front of Xiao He instantly frosted over.

It's not hard to imagine that people who are still outdoors now might soon be frozen into ice sculptures.

Upon closer inspection, a man's figure slowly appeared in the center of the frigid storm.

Dai Lele's eyes widened as she used a small fireball to melt the frost outside the window, revealing the "Lord of Ice" that the Resurrection Cult had spoken of.

That striking head of silver hair flew wildly in the storm.

The flamboyant cloak behind him resembled a blood-red battle flag.

"It's him?!"

Xiao He was stunned.

The Lord of Ice raised his hand and grasped a longsword of frost in his grasp.

The sharp tip of the sword pointed at the ground beneath his feet, his eyes filled with only silent coldness.

His soft murmurs drifted from his lips, yet could be heard for miles around.

"Revive! I, in the name of Hanfulaf, hereby summon you all..."

"Come back..."

"A soul that has been silent for a hundred years..."

"Now!"

"Follow me into battle!"

Buzz—

An invisible energy suddenly spread, and everyone could feel their souls being washed by icy rain, followed by waves of panic spreading from within.

If viewed from high above, one can see the flat land beginning to stir.

Just like a seed sprouting, even the hardest rocks were turned over, and monsters that were originally extremely rare suddenly spread all over the land.

They had nowhere to go after they were resurrected.

They were hungry and excited.

They saw a huge magical barrier rise from the dragon city walls.

This change seemed to activate these bewildered "creatures," who could launch attacks on Dragon City from all directions without needing horns.

Even within the city, no one was spared. More and more plant-like monsters sprouted from the ground, since plants are ubiquitous.

Having done all this, the Lord of Ice leisurely leaped onto the back of the dragon, completely disregarding anyone beneath him.

At this moment, no one in Flying Dragon City dared to stop him from leaving.

Because Dragon City is facing a great disaster, the city lord must use all his power to protect the people.

Watching the flying dragon and the Lord of Ice disappear into the horizon, Xiao He began to observe the changes within the city.

He once killed the three-headed tree demon, which could not be resurrected after its death.

Based on this, it can be inferred that once any resurrected monster dies, it cannot be resurrected indefinitely, even if the Resurrection Cult uses its power again.

Although Flying Dragon City is the first stop of the "Centennial Resurgence," as long as the city lord handles it well, it will become the first safe city in the catastrophe.

This is a great achievement.

Rather than mobilizing the entire city's resources to fight to the death against an enemy of unknown strength in the sky, it's better to play it safe.

Xiao He sensed the city lord's thoughts, and a strange idea popped into his head.

"Hey, shall we go grind some experience points?"

That's exactly what I was thinking!

The three of them put away Fiesburg, which Xiao He placed in his system inventory, and then carefully ran out of the academy.

The situation inside the city was utterly chaotic, with many houses collapsing due to the rampage caused by the resurrected monsters.

The Flying Dragon Ship replaced the original location of the dragon fossil, serving as a temporary refuge for the people.

The city lord is gathering the civilians here, which will also make it easier for the army to clear the city of monsters.

But Flying Dragon City is so big that if ordinary people rely solely on walking, the furthest distance would probably take several hours to travel.

The Cloud Elementary Academy is already considered to be in a relatively remote location, not to mention the intermediate academy located in the suburbs.

There are many workshops and rural areas on the outskirts of the city, but they are not protected by the city's boundaries.

"Huh? Impersonating an intermediate academy student?!" Dai Lele was shocked upon hearing Xiao He's plan.

“That’s right! It’s an imposter!” Xiao He looked at the two of them with satisfaction.

Before they set off, Xiao He made them change into the Cloud School uniform, but none of them wore shawls.

So they looked as if they had rushed out in a hurry and forgotten to wear shawls.

The shawls have patterns that distinguish between beginner and intermediate levels; without the shawls, you can't tell what level they are at all.

The other junior students are currently being protected by the academy.

If they join forces with the junior college students, then all they can do is watch the show.

If you want to gain "experience", you really have to hang out with intermediate seniors!

Hey! You three! Come over here and help!

In the chaos, someone called out to them from a distance.

Looking in the direction of the sound, there was a wooden train with several carriages. Although it looked rather simple, it was very practical.

Many civilians sat on the train, trembling as they watched the monsters nearby, occasionally screaming in fright.

The person who called out to Xiao He and the other two was a young man of about twenty years old. He was wearing the uniform of Cloud Intermediate Academy and seemed to be assisting the army in escorting the train.

The three of them tacitly refrained from calling out "Senior." They had been running headlong toward the city gate, but upon hearing the call, they immediately ran toward the train, as if their mission had been interrupted halfway through.
