"Elder Nuer, what should we do?"

"Solem, how could Lord Solem subject us to such a test?"

Seeing the Frost Giant Warrior helpless against the Red Dragon, Koch looked anxious and asked Nur, who was hiding under the cover of the crowd, for advice.

"Don't be impatient, hold him off."

The elderly Frost Giant Priest gritted his teeth, his voice trembling, as if he had made up his mind.

"I will definitely show him the power of winter—"

Even at the cost of my life!

At this moment, he seemed not to be Frost Giant elder who was over three hundred years old and nearing the end of his life, but rather a vigorous priest who was ambitious and hoped to lead his people to revival hundreds of years ago.

He was muttering something to himself, as if he were praying.

"Frost Giant Father Solem."

"I will unleash your boundless power to bring winter to the enemies of my race, and this will be the best sacrifice for your blood."

"A Red Dragon."

The cold wind howled, seemingly cheering for him.

The Frost Giant crushed the ice crystal in his hand without hesitation.

He kept his eyes closed, the runes covering his skin flashing continuously, and white ice crystals rapidly grew from the wooden staff in his hand. A bone-chilling power suddenly spread from him to the surrounding area.

Keosius in the sky also sensed this familiar fluctuation and looked toward its source.

"The Everfrost Power?"

"So the ' Winter Battle Axe ' wasn't the only one; the rest are waiting for me here."

Keosius immediately flapped his wings and changed direction, diving straight at the old priest who was preparing a spell.

The skills "Graceful Dragon" and "Aerial Maneuvering" were instantly applied to him.

This gave the Red Dragon a terrifying speed boost, making it so fast that its form became invisible, appearing as a strange red shadow to the Frost Giant.

Koch immediately roared in anxiety.

"Stop him! At all costs!"

The Frost Giant Warrior leaped high from the ice cliff and charged straight at the Red Dragon charging at high speed, clearly risking his life.

However, he was unable to stop it in the slightest. The Red Dragon's massive body, which had already accelerated, crashed into it without hesitation, carrying terrifying kinetic energy. The Frost Giant's nearly eight-meter-tall body was directly knocked away, blood splattering everywhere, turning into a bloody mess of rags in the air.

The Frost Giant hunter threw out his tough hunting net, which he had used to capture the giant beast, but it was torn apart by the Scratch Spell. With three scratch marks appearing in the air, the net did not even have a chance to touch the Red Dragon's body.

Several more Frost Giant Warrior died in succession.

Finally, Koch himself took to the field, raising his armored shield in front of him and striking the shield with his Bone Club, letting out a series of powerful roars.

"Red Dragon! You can kill me, but you will never destroy the Everfrost Tribe!"

"Lord Solem is watching me!"

The scorching flames pierced through the armor shield in an instant, easily killing Koch behind it.

Is this what faith is?

"These Frost Giant must not be allowed to live, not even a single one."

Watching these Frost Giant Warrior rushing to their deaths one after another, Keosius frowned slightly and thought to himself.

However, their deaths were not in vain.

The aged Frost Giant Priest finally opened his eyes, his pale blue, murky pupils shooting out terrifying beams of cold light.

The Frost Giant was covered by White Domain, giving Keosius a strange sense of sluggishness.

—The ultimate cold is stillness. It can not only put life to Eternal Sleep, but also freeze time and space. Due to the eruption of this Everfrost Power, even time is tending to stand still! He slowly raised his staff covered with ice crystals.

"Solem Ice Blade Domain!"

Blade-like ice crystals filled the surroundings, each exuding a chilling aura capable of freezing everything. They expanded rapidly from his center, quickly filling the space within several meters. The spreading chill caused all living things within hundreds of meters to become incredibly sluggish.

Nur trembled violently, determined to freeze himself and the Red Dragon together! However, he overlooked one crucial point—the Red Dragon was a Sorcerer.

Keosius's protective spells were absolutely no match for the ice blades that froze time and space, but they could temporarily block the pervasive chill, giving him enough time to cast spells instantly.

"This is the correct way to use the Everfrost Power!"

"We definitely can't withstand it head-on, but we can avoid its sharp edge, after all, we still have Dragon Spell."

[Shelter Egg]

An egg-shaped magical field instantly enveloped the Red Dragon.

He struggled to break through the somewhat frozen space and teleported himself into a temporary Alternate Dimension created by the Shelter Egg.

"No--"

Nur tried to wave his staff to stop it, but he was also trapped in this extremely cold area and could not move at all. He could only watch helplessly as the Red Dragon disappeared.

His thoughts became increasingly sluggish.

"It's over."

"Our entire race is truly going to be wiped out."

This was the last thought in Nur's mind.

The ice crystals in his hand continued to spread, the chill rapidly spreading until they filled the entire space, transforming it into a complete ice crystal world.

As time passed, the elderly Frost Giant Priest was sealed in a huge ice crystal, his face still bearing the expression of despair and regret he had before his death, his body still making the motion of waving his staff, looking as if he would come back to life at any moment, but he remained frozen as if the pause button had been pressed.

The Frost Giant, affected by the cold, slowly regained their mobility. They were in a chaotic mess, their eyes filled with panic as they looked at the old priest.

"Solem, what on earth has happened?"

"Priest Nur is dead!"

"Damn it, where did that Red Dragon go?"

"Oh no, he... he seems to be coming back."

As space rippled, a portal appeared in the void, and the Red Dragon's head emerged from it once more.

"This Shelter Egg lives up to its name; in the Alternate Dimension, it's just like Dragon Egg, incredibly cramped."

"But this spell is truly terrifying. It almost sealed off the space itself. Even after the spell stopped, the surrounding space remained so difficult to break through, as if it were frozen."

Keosius was still shaken, and his gaze toward the old priest frozen in the ice crystals was somewhat solemn.

"A follower of Solem."

"Not a single Frost Giant can be left here."

He thought this again.

Those who remained to guard the holy site were mostly loyal followers of Solem, and were also the targets that Keosius wanted to completely eliminate. Yes, he wanted to grant these giants utter annihilation, leaving not a single one alive.

The Red Dragon flapped its wings and soared into the sky amidst the terrified gazes of the Frost Giant.

He hovered in the air, looking down at the remaining Frost Giant with a ferocious smile on his face.

"It's been so long, and I haven't used this spell yet. You should feel honored to be my first test subjects."

"So."

"Vengeful Storm!"

A surge of magical energy arose, Storm King's Eye on the Red Dragon's chest flashed with a blinding light.

The Writer Assistant keeps copying backups and causing version conflicts. It's so annoying!
