Chapter 604 Breaking into the Ice Palace
One had to say that Second Grade Frost Dragon Aruntini truly did an excellent job of decorating her palace.
It was a tall and magnificent palace. It had full and brightly lit halls, beautiful murals, and brilliantly golden decorations. However, all these were encased under a layer of thick ice, creating a strange sense of chilliness amid the magnificence.
The party finally entered Aruntini’s world of ice and snow after passing through a long, straight corridor. The first thing they saw was a magnificent hall. A tall platform sat above the hall. It appeared to be the seat that the frost dragon had prepared for herself.
She would spend most of her time lounging upon the tall platform when she wasn’t asleep, silently enjoying the service of the dragonborn and either feasting or summoning some singers and dancers to entertain her. As for the matters of her territory, the dragons would never spend any effort upon those trivial matters.
At any rate, they had their loyal dragonborn slave to help them manage such issues. The dragon lords only needed to enjoy their lives while occasionally visiting their lands to reinforce their might in front of the foolish and ignorant natives.
Of course, as a female Second Grade frost dragon, Aruntini was not as sexually active and open as the female fire dragon. She wasn’t as busy at work as Cherkes was, either. She was merely an ordinary dragon that played her part. That was why her territory wasn’t all that large. It was only about two to three hundred kilometers wide.
With her speed as a Second Grade frost dragon, she would be able to make a trip within her territory in less than half a day.
Thus, the first thing that Frost Dragon Aruntini saw upon opening her sleepy eyes was a wild silhouette that was as large as a steel chariot. A massive tower shield increased in size before her fearful gaze. It took up most of her vision and smashed upon her nose.
“Aooo!”
Nose blood splashed everywhere, and an intense pain descended upon her. Aruntini let out a tragic roar and utterly broke free of the laziness and exhaustion that usually accompanied a long sleep; she instantly woke up.
By the time she straightened her elegant and slender body, three more tiny ants had appeared behind her. These ants simultaneously let out their most terrifying attacks upon the beautiful shape of the frost dragon.
Torrent of Flames + Rune of Explosion!
Bloodshade Strikes + Shadowstrike!
Hamstring + Eviscerate + Sinister Strike!
The three terrifying enemies immediately offered up three different types of attacks.
The spell that Greem used was still the most potent and most skilled Second Grade fire spell in his arsenal– Torrent of Flames. It was a torrent of elementium flames that had been bound together into a single concentrated blast. However, this ordinary Second Grade fire spell had turned into an extremely fearsome attack with the enhancement of the Rune of Explosion.
The roiling pillar of fire was obstructed by the chilling air around the frost dragon and could only spread out and burn the air around her elegant body. Ice and fire intertwined with each other before being detonated by the strange Rune of Explosion.
It was almost as if many fireworks had gone off on the surface of the frost dragon’s body. Everything exploded at that one instant.
The areas with dense frost and thick scales would not be affected by these flame explosions, but there had to be weak areas to the surface of the frost dragon’s body. Those areas became the suffered the most from the explosion.
The white mist around the ice dragon was suddenly colored with a layer of crimson. A dozen large, bowl-sized dragon scales were blown away, revealing the bloody muscles beneath.
