Chapter 553 BOSS Battle
Is this flame?
No, it's the power of ice!
As soon as Angel looked towards the cave entrance, she found that the overwhelming ice flames were burning towards her, covering everything in its path, including Groselle's team's luggage, the campfire, and the rare moss plants in the cave. They were all covered with thick ice, and the cold air even made her face sting.
Angel's mind was still echoing with shocking information such as "Adam" and "Fantasy Angel", and there was a brief blank in her brain. However, her rich combat experience allowed her to make the correct response before she thought.
"Frost!"
Unleashing the same frost power, Angel thrust her hands forward, just as she had previously withstood the blizzard, struggling to control the blue icy flames surging into the cavern. Transforming cold into icy flames was a transcendental ability that she, a Sequence 5, lacked, suggesting that the "King of the North" wreaking havoc outside the cave had, in this capacity alone, likely reached the level of a demigod, as Edwina had stated.
But being unable to control it didn't mean she couldn't resist it. She madly poured her spiritual energy in front of her, causing some of the icy flames attacking them to become "neutral" and no longer roll into the cave, just like how she cleverly used Sequence 5 to break the plague of "Lady Despair" in Backlund.
The surging ice flames formed a circle of space near the campfire, saving the people who had just jumped from the ground from being frozen directly. Groselle reacted the fastest. He roared loudly and rushed out of the cave with a thunderous sound against the ice flames, which were no longer as dangerous. He even knocked the frozen flames into a safe passage as wide as his shoulders.
Angel followed closely behind, pushed aside the ice flames, stepped out of the cave, and immediately saw the protagonist of the final battle of this travelogue, the "King of the North" Jurisian.
Even on all fours, this giant frost dragon was over five meters tall, making Groselle, who held the greatsword high, look like a dwarf. Its body was covered in thick plates of armor condensed from dark blue ice crystals, and its ribs and wings spread out, blocking out the light from the cave entrance.
Those ice-blue eyes, bigger than fists, were filled with violent anger and were staring at the people who had just walked out of the cave.
As the anger of the "King of the North" grew, the atmosphere around the cave became even colder than before. The falling snowflakes condensed into frost, and when they landed on everyone's exposed skin, it was as painful as a burn. This was a manifestation of the extremely low temperature!
"Frost!"
Without hesitation, Angel continued to activate her abilities. Even if it was Sequence 5 versus Sequence 4, she would do her best to minimize the damage from the environment.
Behind her, the elf singer Siatas was pushed out of the cave by the force of her own control, and before she could even stand firmly, she had already drawn her crude wooden bow and put on a homemade arrow.
Can this penetrate ice armor...
Angel saw the elf's movements from the corner of his eye, and just as he felt puzzled, he saw that the black hair tied behind Xiatas opened like a flower bud, each strand was translucent and flashed with lightning.
The light quickly moved along her arm and focused on the tip of the arrow, forming a condensed blue-white lightning.
Is this the gathering storm?
The familiar breath made Angel's heart tremble, and a flaw appeared in his difficult control of "Frost". The blizzard that had just stabilized suddenly became fiercer and rushed towards Siatas who was drawing the bow, dimming the lightning on her body a little.
Behind Siatas, the ascetic monk Snowman, dressed in a white robe and barefoot, was nearly frozen by the strong wind. He scanned the battlefield and immediately discovered the crux of the matter. Without hesitation, he opened his arms and embraced the ice and snow with his scarred hands, embracing the grace of God.
Then, he pointed at Angel and uttered a few words in ancient Hermetic language.
“God said, it works!”
Angel suddenly felt that the difficulty of controlling frost had dropped by more than half, which allowed her, as the "Pain" Witch, to almost rival the power of a demigod. Her purple eyes even briefly turned ice blue, and the snowflakes reflected in her pupils melted and dissipated directly in the air, sweeping away the blizzard at the cave entrance.
Taking this opportunity, Siatas condensed the lightning into "Storm Gathering" and shot out, crossing the distance between the man and the dragon like lightning, carrying the power of the storm and hitting Yurisian's head.
boom--
The dragon seemed to be hit by a sledgehammer, its front limbs left the ground, its neck bent upwards, its head swung behind it, and pieces of ice armor shattered and scattered on the ground.
But when it turned its head back to its original position and stared at Siatas with its cold eyes, Angel was surprised to find that the dragon's head, protected by heavy ice armor, was not seriously injured and there was not even any blood.
"roar--"
But Yurisan didn't think so. In the pain, it showed an even more violent character, opened its big mouth, and a fresh blue ice flame brewed in its throat.
Since the blizzard can't freeze these little bugs to death, it will "burn" them to death with ice flames!
Angel was horrified. She subconsciously wanted to ignite the black flames and use them to jump away from here. However, besides Xia Tas who was gathering strength by drawing her bow again, there was also Snowman, an ascetic monk who fell into a short period of fatigue after using his enhanced ability. There were also several companions behind her who had not escaped the cave. If she left, the others would surely die!
Angel gritted his teeth and was about to rely on his frost control to withstand the breath, but he saw a figure with asymmetrically buttoned clothes and a pointed black hat walking past him.
Mobet Zoroaster gently raised his right hand to face the "King of the North" whose breath was gradually emerging from his mouth, and then twisted his wrist and turned it half a circle.
“…”
Jurisian stood there in a daze with his huge mouth wide open, as if he had forgotten what he was doing. The blue ice flame in his mouth flowed back into his throat, causing him to cough continuously.
Mobet, having "stolen" its current idea, opened his mouth and spit forward violently.
A mouthful of saliva came out of his mouth and froze into ice chips in the cold air before it hit the ground.
As if having suffered a great insult, the "King of the North" opened his eyes wide, and his thick hind legs sank into the ice. He dug his way forward and rushed forward like a steam locomotive, crashing into the people at the entrance of the cave.
This is the difference in body size... Angel suddenly remembered what Edwina said when he was chatting with her just now.
When the "dragon train" that covered the sky and the sun rushed towards her, all her combat skills and extraordinary abilities seemed so powerless.
But there was also a guardian present, equally large in size and with an even stronger will.
The giant Groselle, who was the first to rush out of the cave and always kept himself at the front of the queue, blocked the direction of the front of the car and knelt on one knee. The giant sword like a door panel was inserted vertically downwards into the ice surface. A light like the morning light lit up, forming an invisible armor on the surface of his body.
Boom——
The train collided head-on with the Guardian, and the roaring sound shattered the ice and snow beneath Groselle's feet, pulling the giant sword off the ground and throwing the giant out.
The difference in size was even more despairing than the difference in sequence. Compared to the giant who couldn't even take a single blow, the dragon was merely forced to stop and interrupt its forward movement.
The next second, lightning surged through Siatas's body, having recharged her energy. Following Snowman's repeated declaration of "effective," she shot out towards Jurisian, who had stopped in his tracks. This lightning arrow, with its enhanced power, was like the arrival of Thor himself. The blue-white lightning actually had a hint of gold, forcing Angel to squint his eyes.
After the thunder, Jurisian turned his body to the side at the last moment, avoiding the head and blocking the powerful arrow with his right shoulder. The thick ice armor on his shoulder suddenly broke apart, revealing the silver-white dragon scales underneath.
"Bang--"
Angel fired decisively, and the "Good Luck" pistol, which had already unbolted its hammer, did not disappoint her expectations. The "Storm Gathering" pistol, which was strengthened to sixteen times its power, drew out the same lightning and hit the dragon's right shoulder, which was no longer protected by the ice armor. It penetrated the shiny dragon scales and fragile flesh, and created cracks on the shoulder armor on the back.
Ice-blue blood gushed out of the wound like a spring, solidified into ice in the air, and fell to the ground.
This was the first time the "King of the North" had shed blood in an attack!
At this moment, in the cave behind them, Klein, holding down his hat, Edwina, wrapping her shirt tightly, and Anderson, holding a black dagger in his hand, came out one after another, looking at the messy battlefield in surprise.
Groselle, who was knocked away by the Dragon Train, stood up from beside them and shook his head, seemingly uninjured.
Only Danitz didn't show up. As a Sequence 7 "arsonist", he had become frightened by the dragon's aura and trembled all over. Edwina could only let him stay in the cave "as backup".
Seeing more enemies appearing before him, the "King of the North" Jurisian, who had just recovered from the pain of a severe shoulder injury, had his ice-blue eyes filled with hatred. He slightly bent his limbs, kicked up suddenly, and the flesh membranes of his wings under his ribs fluttered, flapping his huge body into the sky.
It will fly into the sky and use its breath and blizzard to destroy these hateful bugs!
At this moment, the "Punishment Knight" Longzel, who had been standing guard at the cave entrance and disappeared after shouting a warning to everyone, climbed out of the snow pile nearby, shook off the ice and snow on his black armor, and locked his blue eyes with Yurisian who was soaring into the air.
"Flying is prohibited here."
He declared solemnly in the ancient Hermetic language that Angel was familiar with.
The giant frost dragon, with its limbs already off the ground and its wings raised high, suddenly froze in mid-air.
But it was huge in size, powerful in spirit and violent in nature, so it quickly overcame the difficulties. It flapped its wings with difficulty, and its body still had the tendency to move upwards.
"No flying allowed here!"
A clear voice repeated Longzel's declaration, and the "Rose Necklace" on Angel's chest flashed with a pale yellow luster. The soul of the "Judge" and the "Punishment Knight" formed a combined force, putting the last straw on the dragon that was struggling to take off.
As if carrying a burden ten times its own weight, the heavy wings of the "King of the North" finally dropped, and its massive body fell down like a dive. It slightly adjusted its posture and, using the potential energy of gravity, rushed straight towards the black-armored knight Longzel who was forbidding it from flying.
Danger!
Angel immediately summoned invisible threads, which wrapped around Longzel's black armor like tentacles and pulled him backwards. At the same time, Groselle, who had regained his feet, grabbed the giant sword that was much taller than Angel and bravely faced the falling dragon.
boom--
The two figures collided again.
