174 Death To The Kings! (1/2)

Elric, on the other hand, managed to protect Lesse, Long, and of course, Kahayag who is currently in his grandma's body. He had no other choice but to switch to defensive from the Northern Dragon's surprise attack.

He created a barrier made of compressed fire that instantly fought against the overwhelming power of the ice formation.

”I must admit, that b*tch does know how to plan well. She might not be the strongest one among all the King leveled Dragons but she made it up with her brilliant strategies.” Arthus commended in a murmur.

Unlike him and his company who boasted an impeccable defense and is used to crushing their enemies with brute force, the Queen Dragon of the North deals with her enemy using unexpected strategies that make him think twice of daring to attack her.

BAAM!~

BAAAM!~

BAAAM!~

As Elric tried to do his best to defend himself and the two coiled Eastern Dragons beside him, the northern Dragons continued to bombard them with massive chunks of ice, it contained to stack against each other that Elric's location had basically turned into a mini-mount Everest.

No matter how Elric tried to melt them, new stacks of ice would just continue to drop down from all directions and so they ended up getting drowned in water instead.

The entire land started to freeze from the extreme cold due to the overwhelming attacks of Leah's Dragons. After all, It was a combined ice attack from not less than fifteen thousand Northern Dragons being dropped in one spot!

”Allow us to use our fire to help and melt these ice” Lesse suddenly suggested.

”No. Focus your strength on defending yourselves. Save your energy. These might be just the start of their real attack.” Elric was not dumb. Obviously, since the enemies are trying their best to trap them, they must be waiting for another barrage of attacks.

And just after spewing those words, Elric's instinct started to kick in. He could feel a terrifying killing intent coming from all directions. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to see what's coming due to the incredibly compressed ice surrounding them from all directions.

”Do it.” Lesse whispered in the air as her eyes gleamed a chilling coldness. She had basically judged Elric and his company as dead by now.

SHOOOOK!~

SHOOOK~

SHOOOOOOK~

SHOOOOK~

Then out of nowhere, thousands, no, tens of thousands of incredibly sharp wind blades flashed from Elric's back. It was from the hiding Southern Dragons!

These Wind blades came from the compressed air being conjured from their extremely long and sharptails before it was swung towards their target.

These tens of thousands of wind blades came out from southern direction where they remained hidden until the signal from Leah was called; the sheer number of the wind blades formed a massive crescent blade formation, reminiscent of a scimitar going forward to cut Elric and his company into two!

”Hmp! You better do your job properly!” Arthur scoffed as he watched the Southern Dragons executing their deadly combined blow.

SHIIIIING~

The wind blade sliced through the thick ice like a hot knife to butter. The massive mountain of ice was seamlessly cut through as it continued to travel towards the fire shield that Elric created to protect themselves.

”Die!” Fargor shouted in his mind as he watched their combined attack slicing through the mountain of ice that was holding off their target.

Elric saw the incoming attack as warned by his incredible instinct.

”Compress!” As a God of fire, Elric released more fire essence from his pores and used them to strengthen his fire defense.

”Prepare for impact!” He beckoned towards Lesse and Long who also hardened their coiling formation, strengthening their bodies and prepared to take on the incoming attack.

SHOOOOOOOSHK!~

And just as Elric's fortified defense successfully formed, the wind blades also finally reached them inside the mountain of ice.

BOOOOOM!~

SWOOOSH!~KSSH!~

SWOOSH!~KSSH!~

SWOOSh!~ KSSSH~

The massive scimitar made of wind blades met Elric's fire defense. But as if a wooden knife smashed against a steel wall, Elric's fire shield was so compressed that even the deadly wind blades conjured by tens thousand Southern Dragons broke and shattered to all directions.

BAAAASHHK!~

BBAAASK!~

The redirected wind blades were not enough to defeat Elric's fire defense. Instead, it helped him break the ice mountain holding them off as it cut through the ice mountain from the inside.

”Hah..hah...This is our chance!” Elric felt the vibrations of the collapsing ice mountain. He could not help but gasp for more air as he had expended quite a lot of fire essence trying to defend themselves from that attack.

The Northern Dragons had stopped their attacks, currently, they backed out trying to recover their lost energy. As they backed down, the ice mountain was also starting to collapse from the sharp blades flailing around from the center.

THUDDUDUDUDUD!~

GRUGHGGH~

But just when Elric was about to issue the command to move away, he suddenly felt the earth carving down as if they were in the middle of a deep crater!
