Chapter 166 Ice and Fire
At this moment, a flame portal suddenly appeared in the white field of ice and snow.
"This kind of fluctuation is really interesting..."
A noble young man with black hair and golden eyes walked out, and then his whole body shone with tiny magical light, and suddenly expanded into a huge red dragon nearly twenty meters long.
With the appearance of the red dragon, the hot atmosphere filled the surrounding area, lava surged out of the snow-covered ground, and the fierce blizzard was also blocked.
The frost on Doluo's body also slowly faded away, turning into water and flowing down, but he fell to the ground with a crash, still breathing weakly.
【Dragon's Breath】
Cassius waved his claws lightly, and rays of light fell from the sky. It was the purest dragon life force. It healed the frostbite in the dragon-veined hobgoblin and saved his life.
"Owner……"
"You...are here..."
Doluo, who was dying and lying on the ground, reluctantly opened his eyes and struggled to make a sound. At this time, his heart was filled with the loss of being easily defeated and even almost killed.
"I'm sorry for my incompetence..."
Seeing that Doro was out of danger, the red dragon ignored him and looked at Archduke Oliver in mid-air and the snow storm surrounding him, thoughtfully.
"What a powerful frost power."
"But the person who controls this power is too weak."
In Cassius's eyes, the horn behind Duke Oliver was the only thing worthy of attention, and the human with the blood of the frost giant was just a carrier worth noting.
When Duke Oliver saw the arrival of the red dragon, the hatred of the dragon in the frost giant's blood was superimposed on his own hatred, and a sudden anger surged into his heart.
"Damn red dragon!"
"I want you to see what frost is!"
He controlled the wind and snow to hit the red dragon. The storm mixed with boulders and carrying endless chill was raging and rushing towards the red dragon.
【As if you were a dragon】
The surface of Cassius's wings was filled with the power of space, and he flew at a terrifying speed. His whole body turned into an afterimage, and he easily avoided the oncoming snow storm like a ghost.
"Shua——"
The red dragon flew across the ground at high speed and flew directly over Duke Oliver, but he did not rush to attack, but stopped leisurely.
Cassius looked down at Duke Oliver with disdain.
"Nice spell."
"But...can you really control this power?"
"Pathetic bastard?"
Seeing the contemptuous look in the red dragon's golden vertical pupils, Duke Oliver became even more furious.
"How dare you-"
He has been taught by his family since he was a child to obey the orders of the Principality of Bosque and serve them obediently.
Although the nobles of the North also called him "Lord Duke" out of politeness, privately they even mocked him as the so-called "Loyal Dog Duke" and "Barbarian Lord".
He has never had the power to make any decisions, and can only act submissively under the wings of the Principality of Bosque. This has also created his twisted character of arrogance and low self-esteem, and he can only vent his anger on his subjects on weekdays.
Now, he has gained unimaginable power before, enough to control everything, but he is still despised by this red dragon.
He has been silently enduring that kind of contemptuous look since he was a child. This is so familiar!
There was an endless cold light in Oliver's eyes, the runes on his body flashed, and he looked up to the sky and roared:
"Reptile, I want to kill you!"
As he roared, ice picks suddenly rose from the ground and stabbed the red dragon in mid-air.
Cassius still stared at him contemptuously, a blazing red light lit up on his chest, energy accumulated in his throat, and then spewed out.
[Extremely effective flame breath]
The fire elements, which are far more concentrated than the ice, gather together, and the blazing pillars of fire easily tear through the wind and snow, shatter the icicles, and evaporate all the surrounding ice and snow.
But instead of attacking Oliver further with flames, he slowly closed his mouth, stopped, and even uttered sarcastic words.
"Is that all?"
"Duke Oliver, as far as I'm concerned, you're just a good dog on this horn."
Cassius said calmly.
He was irritating Duke Oliver. He just wanted to see what this guy with the blood of a frost giant could do with the blessing of this horn.
This guy's use of the power of eternal frost is too superficial. He can't even gather the elements at one point. He will only vent his energy everywhere like a male dog in heat, wasting his power in vain.
Because of this, in Cassius's view, Duke Oliver did not pose a threat at all, but could instead give him a chance to experiment.
Experiment with the capabilities of this horn.
Perhaps it was a coincidence or intentional, but Red Dragon's words played right into Duke Oliver's hands and completely ignited his anger.
"You're looking for death!"
"I'll put you into eternal sleep!"
Oliver roared desperately.
He took off the horn from behind and blew it. Extreme cold air poured out from the mouth of the horn, creating a fierce snow storm in the air that was noisy.
"Buzz——"
The sound of the horn resounded through the sky, and a more violent snow storm appeared in the sky. The chill could even make the red dragon feel dangerous, as if his body had fallen into an ice cave.
Cassius breathed out blazing fire, and the flames blocked the cold air like a wall. He looked at Oliver who blew the horn, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"This kind of fluctuation has reached a legendary level."
"What an unexpected bonus. I didn't expect that this horn could really enable mortal beings to use legendary levels of power.
"But... he doesn't have much time left."
In Cassius' eyes, Oliver now looked like a bomb that could explode at any time, his body filled with uncontrollable tyrannical power.
"Come, attack me!"
"Let me see your power!"
The red dragon still smiled contemptuously, slowly flapping its wings in the storm, relying on the power of space to hover in the air, and the flames flew in the air with his flapping wings.
Oliver, who had almost lost his mind, opened his palm, and extremely cold air poured out from his palm, like a rushing river.
"No, it's not enough..."
"You need... more power!"
"To kill the red dragon!"
Oliver continued to greedily absorb the power from the horn, the power of the eternal frost resonated with his blood, and the ice-blue runes on his body became brighter and more dazzling.
The power poured out in the form of cold air.
"Boom--"
The tide-like cold air washed over the red dragon's body, but the huge dragon body disappeared out of thin air, and the cold air that missed formed a hideous ice column several meters high on the ground.
It turned out that it was just the incarnation of fire!
With Oliver's magic attainments, he couldn't even distinguish the most rudimentary incarnation of fire, so he poured all his strength into the incarnation.
And the real red dragon had already appeared behind him silently with the terrifying speed brought by [Slippery Dragon].
"The experiment is over, and your life should end."
"What a pathetic guy."
Cassius just waved his claws casually.
He only used the lowest level of dragon tricks.
The reason is very simple. Duke Oliver now has legendary energy output, but no corresponding protection and control ability.
If it weren't for the snowstorm blocking him and unable to get close, even Doro could easily chop Oliver into a meat paste.
[Scratching]
A claw-shaped flashing magic force field appeared behind Oliver, easily scratching the fragile, untrained body.
As the red dragon tore into Duke Oliver's body, the eternal frost power in his body, which was barely maintained due to the support of his blood, finally lost balance and broke out completely!
"I clearly hit--"
"No--"
Cold light shone from his mouth, nose, and eyes.
Duke Oliver's body, which had swelled due to the absorption of power, was like a balloon that exploded at this moment. Sharp ice cones suddenly burst out from the wounds, and billowing white gas filled it.
In the end, his whole body turned into extremely cold irregular crystals, like a glacier buried underground for tens of millions of years.
The horn fell to the ground and lay there quietly. The runes on it became dim again, and the blizzard in the sky gradually stopped.
"Tsk, a guy who was blinded by power, a half-blood frost giant whose bloodline was diluted countless times..."
"I thought I could fight the dragon alone after getting the sacred relic of my race? I really don't know how to live or die."
Casius stared at the ice crystal and couldn't help but sigh.
