Chapter 351: The Second Battle Against the Primordial Dragon
Chapter 351: The Second Battle Against the Primordial Dragon
"Hmm? Is the Barbarian's combat power that strong?"
Lord Diam was initially puzzled, but upon closely examining the wound, he confirmed that Colossus was indeed severely injured. His heart immediately calmed.
"Yes, Lord Diam, if you're interested in taming the Barbarian, you can give it a try. They're currently in the canyon on the east side of the Frostfall Mountains."
"Lord Colossus, you're injured, and I'm even less capable," Diam thought, feeling a bit itchy.
He had always been envious of Colossus' ability to gather so many bears as his subordinates.
Look, even when injured, there are bears to help hunt those sweet prey without having to get his hands dirty.
This is the life of a dragon.
Meanwhile, the nervous Level 1 Wizards behind them all breathed a sigh of relief.
Read the rest of the chapter in the book.
Due to the slower speed of the Gryphon, Ren was riding with the three women, mounted on Bloodfeather riding far behind.
Ren was also planning to participate in this year's Dragon Knight Cadet Exam and could take this opportunity to observe the strength of Lord Luther's subordinate.
Additionally, there was another benefit that he felt.
"Just now, Dean Bartalof and the upper echelons of the Winterfort Academy have decided to immediately gather all the official wizards within the academy to take advantage of this opportunity and eliminate this Primordial Dragon," Michael said excitedly.
A mouthful of ice-blue dragon breath swept around. The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, causing Melita, who was at the back of the team, to look anxious.
It pretended to be furious and said a sentence, and then, without a trace, it took a step back.
It might be able to withstand it, but it will be a bit tough. But as long as there are a few seconds, they can cast some negative energy spells on Colossus, should be able to hold their ground.
"Velti, you and the others summon ice and blizzard elements to assist Lord Luther."
The White Bear Monsters beside them all stared with wide eyes, looking dumbfounded.
"Lord Luther, it's time for you to show your strength."
A legendary-ranked knight couldn't withstand a single move? How are we supposed to fight it! "Dean. Look, Colossus' injuries have already healed?"
Just as he finished speaking, Bartalof's heart plummeted like a stone into the abyss. The last time he fought with all his might, he still couldn't kill the dragon, resulting in both sides being severely injured.
"Mentor, I specifically invited you..."
"You're dead, you damn bat-winged freak!"
The dragon had bat-like wings, making it look exceptionally fierce.
The Winterfort Academy had tamed many Iceplain Griffins, and usually, two official wizards could ride one together.
Colossus, whose size was three times that of an ordinary Primordial Dragon, immediately bit into Lord Diam's head, tearing it off. Then, with a short, thick neck, it vigorously shook Lord Diam's head, quickly tearing it off and swallowing it in large bites.
"Melita, aren't you coming?" Michael urged, then quickly left.
Seeing that her mentor didn't have time to pay attention to her, Melita grew anxious.
"Huh? There are fewer White Bears. Is it because of heavy casualties in frequent battles?"
However, he was quite interested and took the sheepskin scroll Melita handed to him.
The dragon also participated in the Dragon Knight Cadet Exam.
Just as he was about to open the sheepskin scroll to take a look, suddenly, from the sky came a sound similar to fireworks exploding. Three snowflake-like patterns appeared in the sky.
"Hehe, after my attack, they're severely weakened. With your strength, you can take them on," Bartalof said as the Winterfort Academy's Dean, rich in combat experience, saw that the situation was hopeless and made a quick decision.
Immediately, a dense group of White Bears rushed out, organizing a defense at the entrance.
"Thank you. As the Winterfort Academy's Dean, your mentor has many responsibilities, and I understand," Ren smiled slightly, not bothered by the situation.
"And it's very beautiful, Melita. If you don't mind, could you introduce me to her?" The wizard smiled mischievously.
Moreover, it seemed that due to Colossus' exceptionally large size, this cave was exceptionally tall, reaching forty to fifty meters, with a slightly smaller diameter but still over thirty meters.
As the Iceplain Griffins landed, the few White Bears nearby didn't even have time to sound the alarm before they were swiftly struck down.
Colossus devoured the corpses of his kin in large gulps.
"Miss Anna, you're indeed knowledgeable," Melita praised.
Luther was like a train hitting a wall, shooting into the glacier wall inside the nest, and the surrounding glaciers quickly filled with giant spider web-like cracks.
"The strength of a Chimaera is approximately between a Level 1 and Level 2 Wizards. However, this Iceplain Chimaera and the Forest Chimaera have already become subspecies," Anna analyzed and added.
"That's right. We'll know once we see it."
However, this time, instead of slaying the dragon, they might end up leaving their lives here.
It seemed that with everyone gathered, Lady Velti, as the vice-dean, began a brief battle plan:
Ren's group didn't cause much of a stir, as they all looked young, and Anna and Ren wore white wizard robes, with ice patterns on the cuffs and chest, indicating their affiliation with the Ice School.
When the four of them arrived at the Winterfort Academy training ground, they saw a group of second-stage liquidation wizards, led by a white-bearded elder, conversing with a middle-aged male knight.
Obviously, it never expected Kolrax to be so cunning, and to dare to directly kill a fellow dragon! "Smack!"
Unlike itself, hunting required its own effort and energy.
"Lady Melita, that’s my mentor, Dean Bartalov!" Melita pointed to the white-bearded elder from a distance, introducing him to Ren.
After all, with their strength, if they were to face a Primordial Dragon, their efforts might fall short; level one spells would hardly cause significant damage to the heavily armored Primordial Dragon.
But Kolrax sneered and swiftly extended its sharp claws to block the giant ice shards. In the next second, it crushed them violently!
At this moment, Ren and his group, who had just arrived, also came to the entrance of the lair. What they called a lair was actually a massive ice cave.
"Bang!"
"Lady Melita, this is the Winterfort Academy's emergency assembly order." Melita's expression changed, and she quickly explained.
At this moment, the massive form of the Primordial Dragon Kolrax, with the ground trembling slightly, revealed itself.
In an instant, the battle raged on, unstoppable.
In Ren's room at Winterfort Academy, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
Under the leadership of the Winterfort Academy higher-ups, everyone advanced unstoppable, killing all the way to the entrance of Kolrax's lair.
After all, the normal wizards knew that the defense of the Primordial Dragon's back was one of the strongest parts, basically impossible to choose to_attack the back.
"Roar!!!"
Just as_Melita_was_about_to_introduce_Ren_to_her_own_mentor, a_heart-pounding_dragon_roar_suddenly_came_from_the_depths_of_the_cave.
What's going on now?
"This makes sense." Melita suddenly seemed to understand something, her eyes brightening, nodded.
"Huh?" The male wizard Krutz was a bit at a loss.
Kolrax instructed the white bear monsters under his command.
"What! How could it heal so quickly! This is completely illogical!"
"Uh, I'll beRightThere!"
"No wonder I couldn't find my mentor earlier; he must have been in an emergency meeting." Melita muttered to herself.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested." Lagrelle said seriously.
"Also, according to Kolrax's temper last time, if he saw us provoking at the entrance, he would have come out to fight long ago."
"Wrong, the other’s aura is stronger!" As someone who had directly fought the Primordial Dragon Kolrax, Baltaf felt the change most clearly.
And the corners of Kolrax's mouth, filled with shredded_flesh, curled_up_slightly, revealing_a_satisfied_expression.
This... Lord Kolrax actually ate another Primordial Dragon?
"This is impossible!!" Baltaf's eyes widened in shock, his white eyebrows and beard flying up.
And he thought, taking advantage of this opportunity before participating in the Dragon Knight cadet exam, he might gain the honor of a dragon slayer.
When the group arrived near Kolrax's lair, they found the number of white bear monsters around seemed to have suddenly decreased significantly.
"Roar!!!"
"This time, level one wizards will mainly be responsible for intercepting the white bear monsters. That is Kolrax's den, and the white bear monsters are numerous."
For him, this was actually a good thing.
He didn't mind not meeting Melita's mentor.
"Huh, these are the helpers you brought? They look quite powerful, a rare female barbarian warrior."
"Oh? Do Chimeras_inFerdinandForest?" Ren couldn't help but ask with curiosity.
Melita held a sheepskin scroll in her hand, standing awkwardly at the door, she said, "Lord Ren, my mentor is holding an emergency meeting. You might need to wait a while longer before he can receive you."
Just as she was about to ask Lord Ren for help, before she could speak, she saw a white figure flash past.
"Melita, why haven't you gone to assemble yet?" Michael, who had met her before, looked at her in surprise.
Velti's beautiful eyes stared intently at the scab on Kolrax's back. It seemed that due to the recent attack, the scab had fallen off, revealing the newly regrown flesh, which was completely healed.
"This time, you will all be buried here, death is your only destiny! Scream!
"Hmm, a barbarian tribe has a guy with special strength, my injuries were caused by that guy"as Kolrax told, Diam listened intently, leaning in closer.
This was normal, for the head of a wizard school to have crystallized power would be hard to command respect.
"I need to take a nap, you watch the direction of the barbarian tribe's migration, and that human who injured me. When I wake, they will face the pain and death!"
"Hey, didn't expect there to be chimeras here, I thought only inFerdinandforest." Anna blinked her big eyes, examining the chimera carefully.
Various ice shard spells, frost arrows, and even level two spells were rampant within the lair, causing the white bear monsters to retreat in disorder.
Not far from the male knight, a unique griffin, slightly larger but with a unique appearance, sat nearby.
Melita held the sheepskin scroll, somewhat awkwardly, standing at the door, "Lord Ren, my mentor is holding an emergency meeting, you might need to wait a bit longer to meet with you."
Just as she was about to request Lord Ren's assistance, before she could speak, she saw a white figure flash past her.
"Melita, why haven't you gone to assemble?" Michael, who had met once, looked at her in surprise.
As Ren arrived at Winterfort Academy, he hadn't received the respect he deserved. In Melita's opinion, it was only natural for Ren to have a moment of emotional outburst.
Suddenly, Colossus opened his massive mouth and lunged forward, biting down on Diam's head.
This single move demonstrated the sheer power of Colossus.
Currently, Ren's wounds hadn't fully healed, and compared to his opponent, who had not only recovered but also seemed to have enhanced his strength. This was a challenging situation! Witnessing this, all the wizards present felt a shadow cast over their hearts.
"As for that Primordial Dragon, leave it to Principal Bartalov and us."
A Tier 1 Wizard formed one Ice Shard, a Tier 2 Wizard formed two, and the highest level was Melita's mentor, the Principal of Winterfort Academy, who formed three Ice Shards, symbolizing the formidable power of a Tier 3 Crystal Mage.
"Soon, very soon."
This made many of the official wizards of Winterfort Academy eager to join the fight.
Upon seeing the Primordial Dragon Kolrax, Bartalov and his companions expressed delight, as they clearly noticed the scab on the dragon's back.
"Melita, you're here too." Bartalov glanced at his beloved apprentice and nodded.
"Lord Ren, what about you three?" Melita hesitated and looked at Ren.
This scene was clearly noticed by the attentive Bartalov and Velte.
Three Ice Shards, each about 26 feet long, appeared out of thin air and struck Kolrax.
Krutz couldn't help but feel embarrassed and left with a disappointed look.
Witnessing this, Bartalov and Velte smiled at each other and said, "It seems Kolrax is indeed severely injured. Look, the density of Ice Bears here is much higher than outside."
However, Kolrax didn't seem to mind.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
"As you wish, Principal Bartalov." Luther, holding a Spiked Tower Shield, spoke with a solemn expression.
Soon, the battle erupted. Led by Bartalov, a Tier 3 Crystal Mage, and Luther, a Chimera Knight, the wizards of Winterfort Academy fought with overwhelming might.
"Despicable vermin, thinking of escaping?" Kolrax mocked the fleeing wizards.
"Hmm." Ren observed the opponent.
At this moment, the Ice Bears seemed to react, and roars echoed from within the cave.
The last time Bartalov and Kolrax fought, the injured area wasn't on the dragon's back, indicating a new wound.
"Principal Bartalov, I'll go first!" Luther, seeing this situation, didn't hesitate and spoke as he rushed forward with his Spiked Tower Shield.
"How can he be so strong?!" Lady Velte, witnessing this, was shocked, her mouth slightly agape.
"Melita, if Winterfort Academy can handle that Primordial Dragon, it'll be a good thing."
Because in the eyes of the Five Elemental Dragons, slaying an Evil Dragon was a bonus for the selection.
"He's indeed injured!" Lady Velte and the others exclaimed in delight.
As long as he could absorb some Dragon Blood at the end, it would be fine.
With just one strike, Luther, a legendary-tier Flying Knight, was sent flying to the side! It was as easy as a tiger swatting a rabbit.
Therefore, in this situation, she naturally had to consider Ren's intentions.
It was Melita's voice.
He immediately began chanting and casting spells, seemingly intending to cover the retreat of the Academy's wizards.
But the next moment, something shocking happened, surprising everyone present!
Damn, was he going to fight? About two hours later.
"No, if the Primordial Dragon is indeed injured, most of the Ice Bears should be inside the nest, responsible for defense. It's their obligation as subordinates."
"Crack!"
"Huh?"
"Mentor, I have something important to report." Melita, at this moment, finally managed to squeeze next to her mentor.
As for the apprentices, they used snowflake patterns, with one, two, or three snowflakes to distinguish apprentices from Tier 1 to Tier 3.
However, the opponent's aura seemed a bit obscure and unrefined, probably due to the previously mentioned unhealed wounds.
Just as Melita was looking for the right opportunity to introduce Ren to her mentor.
"As you wish, Your Majesty Kolrax." - At the same time.
Nearly twenty Tier 1 Wizards stood by respectfully, while there were hundreds of wizard apprentices, whose expressions were more excited compared to the solemn faces of the wizards.
"That knight is Lord Luther, a Chimera Knight. He has already obtained the qualification to participate in this year's Dragon Knight Cadet Exam."
Immediately, a commotion echoed through the corridor, and several white-robed wizards with an Ice Shard on their chest, like Melita, appeared. Most of them had solemn expressions.
"Thump, thump!"
"What's wrong, Michael?"
Damn! Luther, at the forefront, was trapped in the Glacier Wall, struggling to crawl out, his heart filled with icy cold.
The opponent didn't conceal their strength, and judging from their aura, they were undoubtedly a Tier 3 Crystal Mage.
"Melita, you're here. Join us, this time all Tier 1 Wizards will participate." A young male wizard greeted her.
Logically speaking, according to Winterfort Academy's requirements, Ren had helped obstruct the White Bears, fulfilling their agreement.
Although eating one's own kind had many benefits, this behavior was naturally a taboo among dragons, and they would be attacked by other dragons.
"A Chimera Knight?" Ren looked at the two-headed monster and nodded.
"Great."
"
At this moment, Anna and Lagrelle also heard the commotion and came out of their rooms.
"This indicates that the opponent must have suffered serious injuries!"
"The Academy just received the latest news. The Primordial Dragon Kolrax was suddenly injured yesterday and returned to its cave in the Ice Plains to recuperate."
Kolrax brandished its massive claws, the size of a door, and struck the Spiked Tower Shield without retreating.
"Krutz, you idiot! If you anger Ren, you're done for!"
"Well, if there's anything going on, don't you think Ren would come to the rescue?" Anna tugged at Melita's sleeve, comforting her.
According to their previous plan, the legendary-ranked Luther, armed with the Spiked Tower Shield, should have no problem holding off the injured Primordial Dragon Kolrax at the front.
At this moment, Diam's headless corpse was still convulsing violently.
"Actually, in ancient times, Chimaeras were the exclusive flying mounts of elves, and it was only later that they gradually spread out," Anna nodded and explained.
Therefore, after the combat mission was deployed, more than ten Iceplain Griffins and an Iceplain Chimaera quickly flew towards their destination—the nest of the Primordial Dragon Kolrax.
"It's Kolrax!" Bartalov's face turned solemn as he said to Melita, "Melita, let's discuss other matters later."
"Additionally, I'll tell you a method that will definitely work. Come closer." Kolrax whispered.
With this, Kolrax's strength would undoubtedly be affected by his injuries and his risk would be relatively lower.
"That's great! I thought you'd be angry," Melita smiled upon hearing this.
In the Ice Plains, where dragon traces were rare, as long as Kolrax didn't reveal it himself, and his subordinates kept quiet, no one would know about this matter.
As the Primordial Dragon's chest cavity vibrated, a piercing declaration, like a high-pitched loudspeaker, echoed throughout the nest.
Damn it! I should've been more cautious!
Just now, due to Kolrax's deliberate concealment and Bartalov's initial assumption that Kolrax was injured, Bartalov hadn't noticed the difference. But at this moment, as the Primordial Dragon launched its attack, its formidable aura could no longer be hidden.
Next, the Winterfort Academy Wizards, led by him, could now calmly launch their wizard attacks.
After hearing this combat plan, the Tier 1 Wizards heaved a collective sigh of relief.
"Let's go and take a look," Ren waved his hand and smiled.
Lagrelle's Barbarian Warrior form still attracted quite a few gazes.
"Ren, are you there?"
"However, you should be cautious. Even though the Primordial Dragon Kolrax is heavily injured, its dying counterattack is still a threat." The beautiful Velti turned to remind the Tier 1 Wizards behind her.
Melita and Ren's agreement was to help the Winterfort Academy slay the Primordial Dragon, but they hadn't discussed how exactly they would assist.
As long as they proceeded with caution, the opponent would likely have no chance of turning the tables.
"That's great! I thought you'd be angry," Melita smiled.
Diam looked at the 'severely injured' Kolrax and couldn't resist the temptation, taking a few steps towards Kolrax.
"As you command, Dean," Velti and the Tier 2 Liquidation Wizards nodded in agreement.
"The Winterfort Wizards, you're courting your own demise!" Kolrax's vertical pupils flashed a few times upon seeing the Winterfort Wizards. In an instant, he devised a plan.
Kolrax had been invited by the Winterfort Academy to slay the dragon, and he had agreed too hastily.
"Melita, you and your friends will form a squad and take care of the white-haired Ice Bear Priest on the left side of the nest." Krutz said, then hurriedly left.
"Krutz, shut up and stop talking nonsense," Melita quickly glanced at Ren, her heart racing.
Hearing their analysis, Luther, the Chimera Knight, who was holding a massive Spiked Tower Shield, relaxed a little.
This was quite a coincidence.
The creature had two distinct heads, one resembling a lion and the other a goat. The front half had the fierce claws of a lion, while the back half had a pair of goat hooves on each side.
"By the way, this is the old residence of the Tier 2 Liquidation Wizard known as 'The Cutsman.' I'll give it to you. Their improved Metal School 'Cutting Spell' should be inside the old residence."
The proud Kolrax couldn't help but recall the figure that had wounded him.
"Ren, please don't mind Krutz. He thinks he's handsome and charming, but he's not a bad person," Melita said, her heart filled with apprehension.
"Oh, I hope so, Ren. Let's go over there first," Melita sighed, deciding not to insist on finding Krutz to change the combat task.
"You should focus mainly on dealing with the white-haired Ice Bear Priest, rather than trying to earn the title of Dragon Slayer."
It could feel that every mouthful of flesh and blood it devoured brought it immense energy, and its stomach felt warm as its injuries rapidly healed.
As all the Wizards rushed towards the cave entrance, a rapidly ascending figure caught their attention.
The Winterfort Academy had assured him that the Primordial Dragon Kolrax was severely injured, and he saw this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Ren!" Melita's beautiful eyes lit up, and tears of gratitude almost spilled from her eyes.
Including Michael and the other Winterfort Academy Wizards were astonished as they watched Ren charge towards the Primordial Dragon Kolrax, thinking, Has he gone mad?
A Tier 1 Wizard daring to challenge Kolrax?
Out of curiosity, they unknowingly slowed their pace, their eyes fixed on Ren.
