Evil dragon has a warm heart
Chapter 450 - 450 449 Torrent Attacked

Chapter 450: Chapter 449: Torrent Attacked Chapter 450: Chapter 449: Torrent Attacked Russell, having advanced to a third-layer high-level Phantom Beast Knight, did not feel much different, only slightly stronger.

But his power had not undergone a qualitative change.

It was unlikely that he could transform his abilities qualitatively with just one phantom beast.

“Uroboros, Ice Cream is still asleep these days, so, you’ll have to wait a bit longer to join the Dream Family… but we can experiment with your fixed Magic first, Hidden Dream Trace and Earth Traveling Spell,” he said.

Russell liked Polly’s Wind Walking Skill very much.

Hovering in the void was perfectly suited for creating a strong presence.

Unlike the “Dou-Qi Flight,” which was costly for high-level Phantom Beast Knights, Wind Walking Skill was a passive magic that allowed continuous flight with almost no need for breaks. If he wanted, Russell could even sleep while flying.

“Then let’s experience it together,” the Ouroboros Snake said, coiled around Russell’s waist, its head peeking over his shoulder.

It then activated its fixed magic, the Earth Traveling Spell.

The next moment, it took Russell underground, burrowing through the pitch-black soil.

It was a very unique sensation.

Russell felt completely enveloped by darkness, unable to see anything outside, but he could sense the magic trajectories in the earth, following them to any place imbued with soil.

Whoosh!

Uroboros burst out of the ground with Russell, and by then, they had moved from the Cigar Courtyard across the Glowing River to this side.

There was no large hole on the ground, but it was obvious that a patch of soil had been ploughed, and it was very soft. Although the Earth Traveling Spell did not create tunnels, the effect was subtly similar.

This was the wondrous part of supernatural power.

“Cool!” exclaimed Russell, “Next time I see a Frost Giant, I can try using the Earth Traveling Spell to ambush him from below!”

Frost Giants and Snow Giants had powerful Escape Techniques on the snowfield, but on solid ground, they could only run in strides.

After experiencing the Earth Traveling Spell,

Russell and Uroboros felt the Hidden Dream Trace next, similar to Unicorn Polly’s Wraithwalk.

Alas, after entering the Gloomy Dreamland, Uroboros could not move at all, and Russell also had to remain completely still. Any slightly exaggerated movement would disrupt the Hidden Dream Trace, making them visible.

It was far less effective than Wraithwalk.

“No worries, once you join the Dream Family, Ice Cream will enhance your talents, and who knows, you might even develop new abilities in the Gloomy Dreamland,” Russell now eagerly anticipated the evolution of the Ouroboros Snake.

Uroboros had not seen the Little Dream Dragon.

But it had long heard of it and responded in its mind, “Looking forward to it.”

Watching the knights and phantom beasts nurturing their bond across the river, at the climbing frame on the second floor of Cigar Courtyard, Harpy Dragon Hape boredly shook the bangs on its head, while nearby in the small bamboo grove, Unicorn Polly was chewing on a tender bamboo leaf with a smirk.

The cold wind mixed with ice crystals blew towards Wuyao Snake Manor.

But it could not hinder the harmonious atmosphere inside and out of the Cigar Courtyard.

…

The Dragon Birth Festival occurs every January 2nd, an exclusive celebration for the Shadowflame Grand Duchy, while the Scorching Torrent Kingdom has two Dragon Birth Festivals, neither during the icy season.

However, the icy season in the Scorching Torrent Kingdom also hosts a national celebration, a tradition that has lasted over nine hundred years.

New Year’s Day is every January 1st.

The calendar of the Shadowflame Grand Duchy, having originated from the Scorching Torrent Kingdom, hence does not celebrate January 1st but January 2nd instead.

Whoosh!

In the Fire Ant Swamp, not only did Swan Lake not freeze over with the arrival of the icy season, it was actually emitting steam. Suddenly, the calm surface of the lake erupted in splashes, and a huge body emerged, shimmering with sea-blue light.

It was the silhouette of the Torrential Flood Dragon.

All eight Torrent Scale Towers had been completed.

It was time for the Torrential Flood Dragon to leave, planning to return to its volcano before New Year’s Day—Swan Lake was simply too cramped.

“Farewell, Prince Torrent!” Baron Swan Quinbylf Flame-shadow, leading his family members, was sending off the Torrential Flood Dragon at the edge of Swan Lake.

However, the Torrential Flood Dragon didn’t glance back at Baron Kunbifu even once. It just soared into the air with grace.

It disappeared from everyone’s sight in the blink of an eye.

“Phew!” Only a long while after the Torrential Flood Dragon had flown away did Baron Kunbifu exhale a breath of murky air.

Turning to his wife, children, and grandchildren, he smiled wistfully, “Finally, we’ve sent off our distinguished guest from afar. Sleeping next to a dragon every day, though glorious… it’s nerve-racking! I don’t want to be constantly on edge every day!”

“Grandfather, will Prince Torrent come back?” Kunsup Sunflower, the second grandson, asked, “If not, I’ll have someone come over and release young fish… Swan Lake is almost turning into a hot soup, all the fish have died!”

Though the Torrential Flood Dragon was a water-attributed dragon, its power was so overwhelming that it almost boiled Swan Lake.

“He probably won’t come back. In the future, Prince Torrent will activate a phantom if needed,” Baron Kunbifu said.

Kunsup was overjoyed: “That’s great, I’ll go have the fish released immediately!”

“What’s the rush, wait until the Warm Season arrives to release them,” Baron Kunbifu stroked his beard and smiled, “Let’s go, back to the castle and prepare well for this year’s Dragon Birth Festival!”

Meanwhile.

The Torrential Flood Dragon spread its wings and flew, overlooking the endless snowfield.

Staying in Swan Lake, constantly suppressed by the power of the Shadowflame Dragon, was also uncomfortable for it.

After leaving, its body felt much lighter.

“Hng!”

A dragon’s roar declared its feeling of heading home.

Suddenly, a massive fireball erupted across the sky, trailing dense black smoke like a meteor, heading straight for the Torrential Flood Dragon.

The Torrential Flood Dragon dodged, making a wide arc to avoid the meteor.

But what followed was a heavy snowstorm, with dark clouds looming over, heavily pressing down on the Torrential Flood Dragon, forcing it to struggle to fly normally.

“Hng!”

The Torrential Flood Dragon lowered its altitude, gliding close to the snowfield.

Then, it suddenly lifted its head, looking forward into the dimly illuminated area through the heavy snow, where two figures, one large and one small, appeared faintly.

The larger figure was a two-hundred-meter-tall Snow Giant, not the one-armed Snow Giant Da, but a new, fully limbed Snow Giant.

By the Snow Giant’s side, there was a smaller Snow Giant, nearly forty meters tall.

Dressed in animal skin shorts, holding a huge wooden stick, with a square-shaped head, and two fangs of the same size.

“Faust!”

The forty-meter-tall monster roared.

This shock made the Torrential Flood Dragon realize the identity of the smaller Snow Giant—it was a Frost Giant!

“Hng!” The Torrential Flood Dragon hovered in midair, its scales slightly lifted, shimmering deep ocean blue, surrounded by the sound of wave crashes, creating an illusion of being by the sea.

At that moment.

The Frost Giant suddenly raised the wooden stick in its hand, then glanced at the shoulder of the Snow Giant.

On the shoulder of the Snow Giant, a new Frost Giant materialized, only twenty meters tall but posing more arrogantly than the forty-meter Frost Giant.

“Faust!” This twenty-meter-tall Frost Giant, not holding a wooden stick but a metal spear.

It was indeed the Lightning Spear often used by Flying Dragon Knights.

In the hands of the Frost Giant, the enormous Lightning Spear looked like a mere embroidery needle, twirling around its fingers.

Suddenly.

The twenty-meter-tall Frost Giant hurled the Lightning Spear in its hand, shooting it towards the Torrential Flood Dragon.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Snow Giant and the forty-meter-tall Frost Giant, both started running towards the Torrential Flood Dragon, while the twenty-meter-tall Frost Giant stealthily disappeared.

A great battle was about to unfold!
