The Great Ice Serpent's Counterattack

As a wizard who specialized in ice spells, Dago was at a severe disadvantage against this Great Ice Serpent with the elder winter dragon bloodline. Its resistance to ice spells was simply too high.

Ordinary ice spells were almost completely ineffective against it. Only attacks imbued with domain power could barely inflict any damage.

It growled as it slowly slithered into the deep valley. Its crystalline scales rippled in waves, clattering crisply against one another—a sign of its anger.

The terrifying cold naturally radiating from its immense body froze the valley's little waterfall in an instant. Huge chunks of ice fell from above and smashed against the rocks below with thunderous crashes.

Dago frowned slightly. Over the past twenty-odd days, he had gained some understanding of the Great Ice Serpent's temperament.

Every so often, it entered a relatively peaceful phase, during which it became unusually "obedient." But afterward, Dago would face even fiercer resistance, usually accompanied by a tremendous leap in its strength.

Dago could sense an abnormally vast quantity of ice elements beginning to gather around the Great Ice Serpent beneath him. This was another reason the valley had plunged so quickly into bitter winter.
