“Bang!”
Another thrust from the dragon’s palm came again, forcing me to drop down once more onto the icy cold floor. Laying there weakly, I had almost given up. There was just no way to fight this monster at all without a Healer! Although, even with a Healer, there would still be no chance. The effects of the [Ice Dragon’s Fury] was still there, so Healers would already have a hard time healing themselves, let alone casting [Heal] on me.
“Accept your death, brat!” Han’s draconic eye had a sinister look that pierced straight into me as his face snarled.
His ferocious mouth opened wide and immediately an icy frost began to spread out. It was the prelude to [Icicle Domain]! Hans was thinking about killing me here and now.
“Hou!”
A roar came from the tiger with a large gust of wind. The fierce tiger came down in front and protected me. The steel hairs on its body opened up and with a snarl from the tiger, they all flew towards the Ice Dragon. Piercing into its mouth, the needles stripped away bits of its skin, dripping dragon blood down onto the ground that quickly froze over. It seems that the Ice Dragon’s blood could quickly freeze itself.
Bellowing in pain, the Ice Dragon roared, “You steel trash! You still want to protect that mortal behind you with your body?”
The fierce tiger howled with a lift of its head in response since it could not speak.
Hans was extremely angry now. When the fierce tiger slashed down with its claws onto the ground, it opened its mouth wide open. Taking in a huge breath with the force of a vacuum, Hans started to inhale the tiger towards itself. With a howl, the tiger began to fly towards Hans!
“Puchi”
With a gulp, Hans swallowed the fierce tiger whole, hiccuping slightly. Laughing sinisterly at me, it said, “Brat, this mechanical tiger has unknowingly become a meal for my stomach; will you be the next one?!”
“Next one only in your dreams!”
I flipped myself upright and clasped down onto my sword with both hands. Then dashing forward on the ice, I slid down towards his stomach. With the Frost Rain Sword’s tip already near the stomach, I ripped it open, spilling blood everywhere. The wound was so deep that I could faintly see the dragon’s internal organs beating inside. It was a shame that my strength wasn’t that high or else I would have been able to split apart the intestines as well.
“Shua!”
Bringing back my sword, I started to run away from the distracted Hans and towards the entrance to the 4th layer. In order to have a chance to kill this Ice Dragon, I had to meet up with everybody else. Dammit, he still had at least 5% health left. With a total of 700,000 health points, that would be 35,000 points. Truthfully speaking, twenty strikes of [Great Realm of Desolation] and [Seven Star Fragments Slash] was enough to kill it. But it probably would not give me the chance to use that many attacks because he could kill me with just 2 hits.
“Brat, where do you think you’re going?!”
The Ice Dragon bellowed as it flew over, its large wings flapping about, causing the snow and ice on the ground to fly away, revealing a plot of lush, tall green grass underneath. The plot of grass was spread quite far; nobody would have expected there to be such an abundant vegetation underneath an ice covered ground!
In that moment, my thoughts came to a halt. Is this my chance?!
I rushed forward and flipped into the grasses. At the same time I activated [Camouflage], entering into a state of stealth!
“Roar!”
Ice Dragon Hans stopped beside the grasses, unable to detect my whereabouts. It actually didn’t notice me!
“A good chance….”
