Outside the cave, Longzeel, who had rolled aside to evade the first wave of attacks, was horrified at the sight of King of the North Ulyssan's resplendent dragon flame. He swung his left palm down forcefully, preparing to interrupt Ulyssan's breath attack. However, just then, golden light completely opposite to the Azure Dragon Flame surged out from the cave. A huge figure let out a roar and charged through the dragon flame, wielding a massive greatsword as thick and broad as a door panel.
Armor formed from Dawn-like Radiance withstood Ulyssan's Ice Flame breath head-on. The greatsword, covered in frost condensed from cold air, slammed heavily toward Ulyssan.
Ulyssan did not understand why his dragon flame, which had become prettier today, had weakened so much. Yet even a deranged semi-divine creature mixed with authorities possessed a sense of danger.
Seeing the greatsword coming straight for his head, Ulyssan immediately beat his wings. The sudden gust shoved Grossel's enormous body backward, and just as he was about to take flight, Longzeel, well aware that his team lacked aerial combat capabilities, immediately changed the decree already on his lips—
"Flight is forbidden here!"
Empowered by Ancient Hermes, an invisible, intangible force descended upon the frost dragon's sky-shrouding wings. Their previously fluid movements immediately became somewhat stiff, as though those fleshy wings had suddenly been burdened with weight beyond their capacity.

Snow and frost were swept up by the currents, and a cold mist rapidly spread through the surroundings.
Though it was somewhat difficult, Ulyssan still successfully took flight.
"Violators shall be punished!"
