" King of the North " Yurizan's screams quickly turned into roars, and a blizzard swept in from outside the cave, obscuring everything beyond five meters.

The howling wind whipped up a dense swirling of "goose feathers," filling every inch of space. At the same time, an icy blue halo rapidly expanded, stretching outwards along the ground. Wherever it passed, everything it touched froze into an ice sculpture from the bottom up.

With his vision and hearing impaired by the blizzard Klein immediately recalled the corresponding images in his mind. He quickly bent his knees, pushed off with his ankles, and leaped straight up, letting the icy blue halo pass by below.

Mobett Zoroast, who is not known for his hand-to-hand combat skills, discovered the Blue Light when his opponent was already very close, leaving him no time to jump.

Just then, his shoulder was grabbed and lifted up, while a violent hurricane rose from beneath his feet. The combination of these two forces propelled him into the air, allowing him to escape the Freeze fate.

Mobett turned his head and, unsurprisingly, saw Siatas with a stern face. Because flying was forbidden here, the Elf Singer could only glide slowly forward on the wind.

Anderson, Edwina, Snowman, and Longzel reacted accordingly, jumping up in time to dodge the attack without much trouble. Only the Giant Groselle had just broken free from the snowdrift with his broadsword, encountered the icy blue aura and was unable to dodge in time, his feet being touched by the aura.

A thick layer of ice crystals surged up instantly, and Groselle stood frozen in place, like a corpse frozen for thousands of years.

Ugh!

The exaggerated blizzard obscured the vision of the Beyonder, causing them to completely lose their ability to lock onto the frost Dragon Yurizan, leaving them only able to passively defend against attacks.

At this moment, the ascetic Snowman, who had not yet landed, once again opened his arms and solemnly spoke in ancient Hermes:

God said, "It's invalid!"

The raging blizzard subsided considerably; both the violent hurricane and the dense, fluffy snowflakes seemed to have diminished or disappeared by nearly half.

In the dim light, Siatas saw a huge, ugly face, like a lizard, with part of the broken arrow still stuck in its forehead.

The Frost Dragon Yurizan had taken advantage of the moment to close the distance between them!

Siatas remained calm. The gale suddenly shifted, pushing her and Mobett backward. At the same time, her lips, pale with cold, parted, and she sang in the ancient, difficult Elvish:

The reef will inevitably be torn apart by the waves;

"A great tree will inevitably be felled by Storm."

"The mountain peak will surely be crushed by thunder..."

Because every word in Elvish is rich in meaning and the sentences are very short, these few lines of lyrics didn't take Siatas much time. Moreover, from the very first word, from the moment the beautiful and powerful melody began to emerge, the wind in the blizzard changed!

The howling wind suddenly became chaotic, scattering in all directions, and the enormous body of " King of the North " Yurizan reappeared in Klein and the others' sight.

As Siatas sang the third word, " Punisher Knight " Longzel extended his right palm and spoke in a low voice in Ancient Hermes:

" Imprisonment!"

In an instant, the frost Dragon that was about to charge at Siatas and Mobett froze in place, and layers of transparent walls seemed to appear around them.

As Longzel whispered, the light blue eyes of " Vice Admiral Iceberg " Edwina, who had just steadied herself, suddenly turned black, and a viscous liquid, seemingly formed from all the evil thoughts in the hearts of living beings, flowed within them.

With a mere clench of her right hand, " King of the North " Yurizan roared and rose upright, instantly shattering the effect of the Imprisonment.

The frost Dragon's deep blue eyes were filled with confusion and pain, as if it were still immersed in a sudden outburst of madness and savagery!

Even though this has always been its state, being completely detonated still makes it very uncomfortable.

Without a doubt, it's a Dragon with terrible emotional control!

Seizing the opportunity presented by Yurizan's brief pause, Anderson Hood conjured a blazing white flaming spear in his hand, then swung it forward and hurled it.

Without even checking the results, flames erupted beneath the Strongest Hunter's feet, condensing into a liquid.

Whoosh!

The blazing white flaming spear struck the frost Dragon's half-open mouth precisely, rapidly melting away the thick ice crystal armor and still managing to pierce its upper jaw.

Yurizan screamed again, its hind legs pushing off the ground as it lunged forward at terrifying speed towards Anderson, skimming the ground.

Its eyes were fixed on the tiny insect that had caused it considerable harm!

Sizzle!

The snow parted, and a deep, wide furrow was plowed into the ground, stretching all the way to where Anderson had just been and extending outwards.

Bang! The frost Dragon, propelled by terrifying momentum, crashed into a rock covered with a thick layer of ice, shattering its outer shell and cracking its inner layers!

If the collision had hit Anderson squarely, the Strongest Hunter would have been turned into mincemeat; even a mere glancing blow could have killed him instantly.

However, somewhere in the ravine, where Anderson had originally stood, there was now a dark, vertical cave, just the right size for a person to crawl into.

Snap!

With a hand placed on the cave entrance and a strong push, the Strongest Hunter, his hair disheveled, leaped out.

After throwing his flaming spear, he didn't panic and dodge. Instead, he used his extraordinary ability to melt the snow and burn the soil beneath his feet, silently creating a shallow cave. He then sank into it, crouched down, and perfectly avoided the " King of the North's " impact.

At that moment, a clear and pure beam of light descended, striking Groselle and rapidly melting the ice crystals on his surface.

The ascetic Snowman used an attack to remove the restrictions imposed on the giant guardian!

As Dawn broke, Groselle, wielding his greatsword, charged toward the frost Dragon and unleashed a frenzied barrage of attacks.

Bang bang bang!

Groselle was only one meter shorter Yurizan in his non-humanoid state, and his strength was equally exaggerated. In the continuous collisions with the opponent's front paws, although he swayed and staggered back, he was able to recover quickly, stride forward again, and entangle his opponent.

With the Giant Guardian blocking their way, the others were able to respond more calmly.

The ascetic Snowman maintained his outstretched arms, a halo like the sun appearing around him. This halo rapidly expanded outwards, warming each of his companions and bringing them immense courage. It also seemed to be precisely controlled, avoiding the "King of the North."

Not far from him, Siatas's hair billowed, she drew her bowstring, and fired arrow after arrow that seemed to be formed from Wind Blade or lightning. Because the target was so large, every arrow hit its mark, and almost always in the same spot: the frost Dragon's "shoulder."

Mobett Zoroast, in cooperation with Groselle, would sometimes steal the idea that the " King of the North " was about to put into practice, causing it to briefly become dazed, and sometimes attempt to Stealing abilities, but he had not succeeded in doing so on a few occasions.

Anderson, holding a jet-black short sword, cautiously circled to the side, seemingly intending to attack a specific spot. " Punisher Knight " Longzel wielded an iron-black straight sword, using prohibitions and Imprisonment to assist Groselle in hand-to-hand combat with the frost Dragon. Without his restraint, even if the Giant was a " Guardian," he would have long been sent flying, suffering a fatal trampling or spit.

Klein then looked at Edwina and pointed to himself:

"Invisibility!"

He didn't know if the other party could simulate this ability; if not, he would have to consider other methods.

Edwina didn't ask why; her light blue, clear eyes immediately reflected Gehrman Sparrow's image, then lost their color and became transparent.

Klein's body then faded to transparency and disappeared.

After checking his status, Klein quickly ran towards the Dragon and Giant who were locked in fierce combat, and with a roll, he landed on the left hind leg of the " King of the North ".

Then, while carefully avoiding Yurizan's trampling during the battle, he used his pre-activated " Spirit Body Threads " vision to spread his Spirituality Manipulation the illusory black threads.

He then rolled and leaped sideways, searching for safe spaces beneath and around the frost Dragon.

Whoosh whoosh!

One after another, silver-white lightning arrows and pure blue Wind Blade arrows landed in the small area, shattering the ice crystal armor and tearing at the tough skin. Soon, the frost Dragon's "right shoulder" was covered in a pale blue color, and the movement of its forepaws became noticeably slower.

" Punisher Knight " Longzel keenly sensed this, and after dodging the icy blue breath with a sidestep, he pointed to the spot and solemnly declared in Ancient Hermes:

"Die!"

With a soft "poof," the spot on Yurizan's "right shoulder" that had been covered in pale blue blood instantly dried up, tearing open to reveal the translucent bone.

Edwina then took out a palm-sized brass mirror and reflected Yurizan's part of his body in it.

She reached out with her right hand, actually grabbing the mirror and pinching the image inside. Then, she tore it apart forcefully and pulled it out!

Yurizan's wound suddenly became exaggerated and continued to spread, as if he was about to lose a front paw.

It let out a shrill scream, then suddenly raised its body and stood upright.

A pale blue-white light surged from the Dragon's body, causing the temperature to plummet within a hundred meters, accompanied by an unbearable sensation.

Suddenly, all the Beyonder seemed to have been Freeze for a long time. Their bodies were so cold that they became extremely stiff and began to tremble uncontrollably.

Shatas was like that, Mobert was like that, Edwina was like that, Klein was like that, Grosser, Anderson, and Ronzel were also like that, only the ascetic Snowman, who had endured countless trials of icy cold, could barely move.

He kept his arms outstretched, his eyes half-closed, and solemnly began to speak:

God so loved the world!

Sunlight pierced through the wind and snow, shining in, and the warmth began to melt away the frozen feeling.

Bang!

Yurizan slashed Groselle away with a claw, leaving the Giant Guardian with a dent in his chest and a serious injury.

Ignoring everyone else for the moment, it charged at the ascetic Snowman at high speed!

Snowman is unprotected... He's about to leave my 5-meter radius... Klein, still somewhat stiff, watched this scene, and felt an urge to turn around, run into the cave, pray to himself, and then go above the Gray Fog to respond with the " Sea God Scepter ".

Just then, a crimson fireball landed beside the Ascetic before the frost Dragon could reach it, and then exploded without hesitation, sending him flying.

This comes from Anderson, the Strongest Hunter.

At that moment, Edwina also conjured a fireball in her hand and threw it behind Yurizan, but it seemed she had no intention of hitting him.

She's creating a portal for Klein's Flame Blink!

She learned from Danitz that Gehrman Sparrow had this ability!
