Keosius watched the Frost Giant flying towards him with menacing force, but his heart was filled with joy.

This is a great opportunity for him to come into contact with the power of gods. Gods are strictly restricted in the Prime Material Plane, but powerful gods can always exert influence on the mortal world through various means.

But it's different for a race of gods like Solem, who have been asleep for tens of thousands of years. The only revenge he needs to worry about comes from the increasingly weakened giant race, which doesn't even include the benevolent Cloud Giant and Storm Giant.

In his previous life, he had heard that a Frost Giant had suddenly risen to prominence in Anzeta, displaying unimaginable frost power and seemingly being related to the gods. However, at that time, most players left Anzeta and did not pay much attention to the subsequent situation. Therefore, he was able to confirm now that the Frost Giant was the Kasa in front of him.

Therefore, Keosius had been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for Kasa to reveal his hand.

The Red Dragon roared and suddenly flapped its wings to create distance.

"It's just the power left behind by a guy buried in his grave. Is that the source of your courage?"

Under the influence of his Graceful Dragon, his Wing Membrane were covered with magical power, which distorted space the moment he swung them, instantly throwing Kasa dozens of meters away.

As the battle progressed, the effects of the spells intensified, and the Red Dragon's agility attribute reached a terrifying 24 points, comparable to those legendary Rogue dragons whose heads and tails were rarely seen. But what was even more terrifying was that this speed was also present in a giant dragon! The Frost Giant rode the blizzard, which could hardly be called flying, but rather "lifting" it. This speed was difficult for even a clumsy ordinary Red Dragon to keep up with, let alone Keosius.

Thinking of this, Kasa could only roar at the sky, hoping to provoke the Red Dragon's wrath.

"Fight me head-on!"

"Is the Red Dragon also a coward who relies on magic?"

"Where is your clan's pride and joy in close-quarters combat?"

Keosius was fast enough to circle the Frost Giant several times over, yet he still couldn't touch it. However, out of caution, he always maintained a proper distance from the Frost Giant and launched attacks when the opportunity arose.

"Child of Winter! You are a joke in the sky. This is not the territory of you stupid giants."

"Since you insist on Contend Against head-on—"

Keosius retorted sarcastically.

The Red Dragon tumbled and flew backward in the air, actually facing the Frost Giant head-on, truly living up to Kasa's words, "A direct Contend Against."

However, what Kasa got was not the melee battle he had expected, where he could slay a dragon.

A light emanated from Keosius's chest, and his Base Blood Vessels were fully activated, continuously pumping Fire Elemental energy from his entire body into them.

He grinned, revealing a ferocious smile, with scorching energy accumulating deep in his throat. As his strength increased, he hadn't used his full-force breath for a long time.

"Then I will grant your wish!"

As the Red Dragon spoke, a torrent of energy poured forth.

"Boom--"

A column of blazing white fire burst forth from its mouth, instantly drying up the surrounding air, as if tearing a scorching rift in the sky.

The terrifying pillar of fire tore through the blizzard and rushed directly toward the Frost Giant's head.

Kasa held Winter's Roar horizontally in front of him as a shield.

The seemingly fragile, shatter-at-a-touch Ice Crystal Double-Bladed Axe was now like a black hole devouring flames, absorbing all the immense energy of the Maximized Fire Breath, leaving only a few imperceptible drops of water.

"Red Dragon, your fire is very powerful."

"But it cannot melt the Father God's ice!"

Kasa swung his battle axe, and three ice blades, each several meters long, flew out.

The ice blade contained a trace of the power of the God of Cold; any creature struck by it would gradually slow down and eventually fall into Eternal Sleep in the cold night.

However, at this moment, Keosius, whose agility attribute had been further enhanced, simply spread his wings to the side, allowing his massive body to fit into the narrow gap of less than ten meters, thus avoiding the attack.

"Frost Giant, you're too slow!"

"Keosius mocked."

This was also his true thought. As the power of spacetime became increasingly intertwined, Kasa's movements appeared to him as if they were in slow motion.

During this time, he deliberately guided the Frost Giant, always keeping his distance from him, yet never completely shaking him off.

The Red Dragon's agility attribute is about to reach 30 points, which also means that the spell's duration is running out.

"The process is going smoothly."

"It's time to end all of this."

That's what Keosius thought.

Kasa, completely unaware of this, was still excitedly shouting, "Red Dragon, spells of this level can't last long!"

"Trying to make fun of me? You'll pay the price for your arrogance!"

The Frost Giant brandished his Winter's Roar, causing the range of the cold wind to suddenly expand, enveloping the Red Dragon. The power of the God of Cold silenced all things, and slowed people's movements.

He gripped his battle axe tightly, his expression excited and eager, waiting for the Red Dragon's spell to expire so he could rush forward and use the power of the Solem to kill it.

But Kasa didn't notice that a hint of excitement also flashed across the other person's expression.

Keosius suddenly slowed down, no longer distancing himself from the Frost Giant, and instead turned around to look at him at a leisurely pace.

Kasa felt a sense of foreboding. In this perilous situation, the cunning Red Dragon must have something to rely on.

He's fallen into a trap!

Indeed, that is the case.

"Winter is coming to an end."

As Keosius said, this was the area he had designated long ago—the burial ground of the Frost Giant.

[Kingdom Domain. Nullification]

An invisible aura spread out, and the surrounding elements were under his control. All magical energy was like his subjects, and even the Weave was under his control.

Instantly, the surging magical energy around them subsided.

It's important to understand that divine power also possesses a magical essence.

Keosius had long realized that the power of this Kingdom Domain possessed a peculiar repulsive force against divine power, and it was through this ability that he erased the mental imprint Tiamat had left on him through illusion. If it was effective even against the Mother of Evil Dragons, then the sliver of divine power remaining in the slumbering Solem ten thousand years ago would be even less of a problem.

"This, this..."

With an incredulous look in Kasa's eyes, the Ice Crystal Battle Axe began to melt, just like the most ordinary block of ice.

The icy wind that surrounded the Frost Giant vanished instantly.

He fell awkwardly from a height of nearly 100 meters, tumbling several times before barely managing to cushion the fall, and only managed to pull through thanks to his strong physique.

The Frost Giant chuckled as he raised his head, gazing up at the Red Dragon that resembled a god.

He reached for the battle axe, only to discover that the ice crystals, symbols of divine power, had already appeared in the Red Dragon and were under the control of the Red Dragon.

"It's over, it's all over."

Kasa immediately lowered his head, muttering to himself with a deathly pale face.
