Chapter 617 - 617 615 Seizing the Extreme Ice Holy Artifact

Chapter 617: Chapter 615: Seizing the Extreme Ice Holy Artifact Chapter 617: Chapter 615: Seizing the Extreme Ice Holy Artifact The madness continued.

Shuang Da’s head flew off, only to fall back down, but this was not enough to be fatal. At this level of powerful creatures, decapitation was just a type of injury.

“Strike while the iron is hot!”

Russell, despite being suppressed by the Frost Domain, desperately activated his and Polly’s Thunder Elemental Power. He seized the opportunity that the Shadowflame Dragon had bought with its life and attempted again to assassinate Shuang Da, intending to completely eradicate this repeatedly invading creature.

The sword light had not yet condensed.

An intense threat came from beside him, and he had no choice but to narrowly dodge, as several long spears grazed past him.

It was the Snow Trolls, launching an attack on him.

It was in this moment that Shuang Da let go of the Ice Crystal Longsword, grabbed his fallen head, and reattached it to his neck. A layer of ice crystals quickly spread from the neck down, firmly freezing the head in place.

The Snow Giants were still furiously tearing apart the body of the Shadowflame Dragon.

Russell adjusted his angle and concentrated his Swordsmanship Secret Technique, activating the most powerful Sword of the Sun, leveraging the chaotic elemental power within the Frost Domain.

Unfortunately, the opportunity to kill Shuang Da was fleeting.

Before the Sword of the Sun could burst forth, Shuang Da used both hands to pry open the mouth of the Shadowflame Dragon and, coordinating with the Snow Giants, flung the dragon’s head aside.

Having freed himself, he then went to pull out the Ice Crystal Longsword embedded in the abdomen of the Shadowflame Dragon.

But a cold glint rose behind his head, alarming Shuang Da enough to make him quickly roll to the side.

Zap!

Lightning flashed, and the Sword of the Sun almost pierced through space.

With his head wobbling, Shuang Da knew his chance to hunt the Shadowflame Dragon was ruined by this sword strike. Now he needed to find an opportunity to heal his wounds first, otherwise, he might actually die on the spot at the Shadowflame Volcano.

Decisive action!

“Faust!” Shuang Da cried out, his voice hoarse, clearly severely impacted by the beheading.

Seeing this, the Snow Trolls exchanged glances, then dropped the bodies of two comrades and followed Shuang Da as he began to flee.

The Frost Domain was already collapsing, the blizzard slowly subsiding.

Feeling that the elemental power had stabilized, Russell could not let the Frost Snow Giants Legion escape so easily. Catching his breath, he unleashed all his power again, deploying the Sword of the Sun, determined to keep Shuang Da at the Volcanic Oasis to eliminate the threat forever.

But Shuang Da ran quickly.

The Snow Giants also abandoned the grievously wounded Shadowflame Dragon and blocked Russell’s pursuit.

Watching as Shuang Da got further away, he then waved to the Snow Giants whose bodies rapidly transformed from solid to a glowing light, turning into a shimmering white light flying towards Shuang Da.

“Stop it!” The Shadowflame Dragon, enduring the agony of its torn body, opened its jaws and bit one end of the white light.

But the white light still uncontrollably flew towards Shuang Da.

Seeing that Shuang Da was escaping too quickly and that he could not kill him, Russell once again used his strongest sword technique, Supreme Secret Technique: Sword of the Sun, planning to shatter the white light transformed by the Snow Giant.

Shuang Da saw this and was immediately startled.

He snatched a long spear from the Snow Trolls and hurled it quickly at Russell, forcing Russell to dodge and save his own Snow Giant.

Russell clenched his teeth.

Not dodging, not evading, letting the spear pierce through his elementally forged body, he still had to complete the strike.

Boom!

Zap!

Lightning flickered, and the white light transformed by the Snow Giant was severed by this sword strike, one part flying towards Shuang Da, one part fiercely held by the Shadowflame Dragon.

“Faust!” Shuang Da roared.

After the white light returned to its hand, it immediately transformed into a cloak, enveloping its figure.

Russell’s element-forged body had been pierced by the spear, creating a large hole and sending pain throughout his entire body, nearly making him fall out of his elemental form. However, he managed to steady the form and hovered in the air, staring at Shuang Da.

Seeing this, Shuang Da was eager to turn back and fight.

But feeling the oppressive force of the Volcanic Oasis steadily increasing, he paused his steps and ultimately did not dare to return.

Carrying a dozen Snow giants, he fled from the Volcanic Oasis without looking back.

Russell watched Shuang Da leave and then dissolved his elemental form, coughing up several mouthfuls of fresh blood the next moment.

His chest and abdomen had a large hole.

Fortunately, the power of Dragonflame was rapidly healing the wound, and he would recover normally after some rest. However, the case was worse for the Shadowflame Dragon—its abdomen was still pierced with an ice crystal weapon, and its back was nearly torn open, exposing the beating heart.

But the Shadowflame Dragon was laughing maniacally, its magic-infused draconic language echoing around: “Profitable indeed, Russell, Shadowflame has made a killing!”

Its wounds swiftly healed.

Sprawled on the ground, facing the struggling orb of light, it took a deep breath until it had inhaled the light entirely into its belly, then continued to laugh wildly: “Shuang Da has fallen, Shadowflame has fed, I’ve recovered all the debts of Shuang Da’s blood!”

“Laugh lighter, Shadowflame, you still have a sword in your belly.”

“Sword?” Shadowflame Dragon turned its head and looked at its abdomen, where the ice crystal longsword was beginning to melt.

Crack.

The ice crystal blade broke off and slid from its belly wound, and the deeply embedded sacred artifact of extreme ice also slid out.

“One deeper stab, and Shadowflame’s vital organs might have been frozen, but Shuang Da will have no such chance now.” The Shadowflame Dragon stretched its forelimbs, scraping up the pooling dragon blood, “The blood Shadowflame lost this time couldn’t even make up one dragon egg.”

Russell landed and picked up the sacred artifact from the ground: “All settled then? Let’s head back to Shadowflame Volcano first.”

“There are still two Snow Giant corpses over there.” The Shadowflame Dragon pointed not far away, “Both are Shadowflame’s, all Shadowflame’s!”

“Alright, they’re yours.” Russell nodded, flew over, and picked up the corpses of the Snow Giants. The Snow Giants were a bit flimsy; after being beheaded, if not treated in time, they would perish—not like Frost Giants who could reattach their heads.

Carrying the Snow Giant corpses, Russell and the Shadowflame Dragon flew back into Shadowflame Volcano.

At this time, Mr. Luo Man and others only dared to ride the Bipedal Flying Dragons to the battlefield to clean up—meaning the soil mixed with dragon blood, which for ordinary knights was a great nourishment.

Bathing in the magma and refining the Frost Star Beads from the Snow Giants, the smile never left the face of the Shadowflame Dragon.

“A complete victory, Shadowflame has recovered everything lost to Shuang Da!”

“It was still too risky, Shadowflame,” Russell said, not in the best of moods, although the gains were substantial, Shuang Da had ultimately escaped.

He seriously said, “If the sacred artifact had hit your vital point, you might have followed in the footsteps of the Meltdown Dragon!”

“But it was worth it,” the Shadowflame Dragon grinned fiercely. “Besides, you and Shadowflame still had one last card to play, didn’t we?”

“Uh…” Russell was momentarily speechless.

He always felt that the Shadowflame Dragon was a bit too crazy.

The Shadowflame Dragon, guessing what Russell was thinking, said fiercely, “Only through near-death can there be rebirth. In a life-and-death struggle, only the crazier one survives!”

It continued, “If it weren’t for Shadowflame’s resolve to face death head-on, how could such a glorious achievement have been made—a mere half a Snow Giant, hahaha!”

Such rich spoils of war had never been seen before.

The Shadowflame Dragon looked increasingly pleased with Russell: “Pity, Shuang Da was too cowardly. If it had dared to stay and fight to the death… Russell, you and Shadowflame would have been truly reborn, merged, and reached the pinnacle of the Way of the Knight!”

It had all been calculated.

At the crucial moment of fighting to the death, Russell would not have waited for the Little Dream Dragon to hatch; then would be the chance for him and Russell to merge.

Alas, at the crucial moment, Shuang Da had been too cowardly.

Russell sat cross-legged on the ground, somewhat speechlessly glancing at the Shadowflame Dragon, then caressing the sacred artifact of extreme ice in his hand.

He sighed inwardly, “Ice cream, oh ice cream, if you don’t erupt soon, this innocent I… might well be doomed!”
