Glacier Destruction Battle (5)
The giant continued his charge, even with his arm broken, he still used his remaining hand to break off ice spikes as weapons, relentlessly charging towards the Red Dragon.
Keosius simply flapped his wings and hovered in place.
"What a strange thing..."
"I wonder how long it can last?"
He had no intention of leaving the eye of the storm. On one hand, the Vengeful Storm was already out of control, and even if he were to enter it personally, it would be extremely dangerous.
On the other hand, he was full of confidence in the power of this masterpiece he had created, and he did not believe that the giant could stand in front of him alive.
The Vengeful Storm has raged for more than ten rounds, with gale-force winds and biting rain battering the area beneath the thunderclouds.
The giant's body grew smaller and smaller, several sizes smaller than before, as if layers of skin had been peeled away, revealing its fragile internal structure.
Its movements grew increasingly sluggish, struggling laboriously in the storm, yet it still relentlessly charged toward Keosius.
"Everfrost's Enemy!"
"I will never... let you go..."
The voice was like a boat tossed about in a storm; though it grew weaker and weaker, it remained steadfast and resolute, truly worthy of being the embodiment of the will of the guardians of the Frost Giant Holy Land before their deaths.
However, under the Sorcerous Font, the Vengeful Storm did not stop, but instead intensified. White, blue and purple lightning bolts tore through the dark sky, bringing their contained power to the ice field. The violent thunder ruthlessly destroyed everything on the ground.
Black mist churned, thunderclouds surged, and an undeniable brilliance shone through the thick, dark fog, illuminating the ice and snow—it was the most terrifying thunder.
However, the giants on the ground remained completely unaware, charging towards the Red Dragon from only a few hundred meters away, wielding sharp ice spikes.
"Boom!"
The Earth-Shattering thunder roared once again.
Dozens of blinding lightning bolts struck simultaneously, forming a giant claw in the sky that tore through the dark clouds. The violent force converged and finally smashed into the head of the unsuspecting Ice Crystal Giant.
"No--"
The dazzling, endless lightning enveloped its massive body, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime, while billowing white smoke rose from it.
On this vast Vahalla Glacier, almost every living creature can hear a mournful wail and a crackling sound of thunder.
When the lightning subsided and the white smoke dissipated, the Ice Crystal Giant was seen to be shattered into pieces, having almost reached the end of this strange life form.
Its head was only half left, making it look extremely ferocious.
The massive left arm also shattered and fell to the ground.
The giant's hip was also split in half, his right leg disappeared completely below the hip, and his left leg was split in two, leaving only his left thigh still movable.
Maintaining this form had exhausted him completely; the Ice Crystal Giant's entire body was covered in cracks, as if it would shatter into tiny ice fragments at any moment.
However, that half-open mouth was still twitching slightly.
"Everfrost's Enemy."
The Ice Crystal Giant, no longer human-shaped, rubbed its remaining left thigh against the ground, its torso twisting and turning, presenting a bizarre posture on the ground, like a wriggling worm. Although its speed was extremely slow, it was indeed moving towards the Red Dragon.
The Red Dragon watched silently as the giant crawled towards it.
With each meter he moved forward, his body, which was in contact with the ground, was ground into smaller pieces, leaving behind fine shards of ice.
As he crawled, he dragged a trail of ice shards along his path.
The giant on the ground barely managed to touch the tip of the Red Dragon's claw with his left shoulder. He struggled to lift his head, his half-open mouth twitching slightly.
"Got you!"
"Everfrost"
Before the last word "enemy" could be uttered, a series of crisp cracking sounds were heard. The Ice Crystal Giant finally could not withstand the cracks all over its body and shattered completely. Even though it was severely injured, its nearly twenty-meter-long body turned into a small Ice Mountain, standing quietly on the ice surface of the Vahalla Glacier.
Keosius casually picked up a piece of ice crystal, held it in his palm, and felt the chill that he instinctively loathed.
"A magical creature driven purely by hatred, with absolutely no intelligence, has somehow managed to reach the legendary level of life."
"That's a really strange thing. I'll have Lang Pu take a good look at it when we get back."
"Perhaps this thing can become a sharp axe in my hand."
Keosius looked around and quietly observed the natural disaster he had brought about.
Although the Ice Crystal Giant is dead, this terrifying Vengeful Storm has not stopped. Under the influence of the Sorcerous Font, it will continue to expand until the laws of nature balance it and quell this destabilizing factor that is destroying the world.
The relentless gale and icy rain ravaged everything under the thunderclouds, and countless bolts of lightning crashed down, shattering one Ice Mountain after another.
The Frost Giant ' ice fortresses were cleaved by lightning and collapsed with a roar. Their sacred grounds, which they had guarded for thousands of years, were buried under the broken ice. The ancient books and stories of the giants sank to the ground and were completely frozen in the solid ice hundreds of meters deep.
The Frost Giant ' hunting grounds have been eroded by Acid Rain and are now unrecognizable; their rugged horns, Bone Spear, and armored shields have all turned into nourishment for the earth.
Even the Ice Valley, on which the Frost Giant depended for survival, was buried by collapsing glaciers amidst repeated thunderclaps. All traces of the Frost Giant' lives—cut pelts, leftover animal bones, and even ice figures carved by children—were sealed away in the frost, unknown to anyone.
The Everfrost Tribe, which survived for nearly 10,000 years during the ancient wars, gradually weakened after many changes of location, and was finally destroyed by a Red Dragon.
Korbar Everfrost's tribe rose to power by killing the Red Dragon, and fell by provoking Red Dragon, which can be considered a small joke played by the God of Fate spanning ten thousand years.
"The Frost Scourge is over."
"Because I brought disaster upon myself with the ' Frost Scourge '."
Keosius looked around at the mess and found it somewhat amusing; it seemed to be a grammatically incorrect sentence.
He slightly raised his head, and the information on the panel refreshed again.

"Frost Giant are the easiest to kill. They don't have the disgusting spells of Storm Giant or Cloud Giant; you just need to fight them in close combat, and even trashy White Dragon can easily wipe them out. The only downside is—their flesh has an icy, shard-like taste, like it was just pulled from an ice cave; it's really hard to swallow. —Ancient Red Dragon, Kabaliah Halls"
