It was called a one-on-one duel, but it was really still two against one—no, three against one.
Vengeful Ancient Dragon Dalimu and Free Ancient Dragon Saiban covered for Russell, Shadowflame Dragon fought at Russell's side, while Dream Ancient Dragon transformed into a phantom and bestowed a powerful Rule Power enhancement.
"Three against one isn't accurate either. Polly, Harper, Ouroboros, and Tep are all empowering me too!"
Other than Nightmare Beast Sembra, who remained behind in Shadowflame Kingdom, all of his Contract Partners had arrived.
It could be said—
On the surface, Russell rode Shadowflame Dragon in a one-on-one battle against Frost Giant Xie Xin. In truth, it was still Russell and his partners ganging up on Xie Xin.
Xie Xin, wielding the Blade of Snow Soul, was immensely powerful.
But Russell was just as formidable. Even though he only used the ultimate art, Fire Sword, in order to seek an opportunity to break through his shackles, the battle remained evenly matched.
Russell could even feel that the formidable Snow Soul Power carried by the Blade of Snow Soul was the essence of Frost Snow Power. It exerted tremendous suppression over his Fire Sword and greatly restrained Shadowflame Dragon's power as well.
"So this is the suppressive power of the snowfields sealing Dragon Sleep Continent in ice!" Russell deeply experienced that suppression.
Both he and Shadowflame Dragon fought while comprehending.
An excellent sparring opponent like a Frost Giant was exceedingly rare. Neither Russell nor Shadowflame Dragon wanted to kill him immediately; they had to cherish this opportunity.
The battle was spectacular. The Blade of Snow Soul continuously sliced space apart, while the radiance of Fire Sword illuminated the sky. Ice and fire clashed atop Dragon Ridge Summit, smashing countless peaks and triggering avalanche after avalanche.
For the sake of comprehension—
Russell
