"I never expected that you and the Shadowflame Dragon would join forces and actually defeat even Frost Da." King Ares had already returned to the Golden Palace.
Russell also teleported over and began chatting with King Ares.
"Thanks to Shadowflame risking its life, I was able to behead Frost Da. Unfortunately, Frost Da reattached its head and escaped."
"Regardless, this achievement of yours is enough to shake the entire Dragon Sleep Continent."
"Your Majesty the King, how did your battle with Frost He go?"
"Frost He was merely feinting, holding back Torrent and me so we could not go to the Shadowflame Grand Duchy to support you. That was why we did not fight to the death," King Ares said. "However, I noticed that although Frost He's body had not changed, it seemed stronger than Frost Ge."
"Stronger than Frost Ge?"
"Then it seems we cannot judge a Frost Troll's strength by its height," Russell said.
"Indeed," King Ares said. "Frost Da's desperate choice to refine Snow Giants was likely not the mainstream cultivation method of the Frost Trolls. Moreover, Frost He has slain a giant dragon before. Its strength should have grown far beyond Frost Da's, yet it is only twenty meters tall."
Comparing Frost Ge, Frost Da, and Frost He.
After discussing it, the two reached a rough conclusion.
The evolution of Frost Trolls—or rather, the cultivation method of Frost Star's natives—was exceedingly strange. The transition from Snow Troll to Frost Troll was a qualitative transformation; the transition from Frost Troll to Frost Giant was another qualitative transformation. Yet Frost Da's explosive growth in size was merely a quantitative change.
As for why Frost He had not undergone such a "quantitative change," perhaps it had hidden away that accumulation, waiting to unleash it once more on the day
