Frost stood quietly for a few seconds, then looked at me as she said, “Brat, from the day that you joined Dragon City, you have become one of my people. That’s why I won’t let you walk towards your death. Hmph, even if that old fart Karl wanted to hurt you intentionally, I won’t let him get away with it! I, Frost, should be the one to decide my people’s life or death!”
I thought for a while and said, “Could you still bring me to kill the Undead Earth Dragon…?”
“You really want to fight it?” Frost looked at me, astounded. She gaped as she said, “That Earth Dragon, even though it can be said to be the weakest among all the Dragon species, it still has the ability to breathe dragon fire. If you make a single mistake, you could be roasted to ashes, what will you do then?”
I pulled out my Frost Rain Sword and laughed, “Relax, how could I be easily roasted? I’m not a kid that will never grow up, forever hiding behind you and seeking your protection. One of these days, I will grow to be strong enough to protect you, Frost!”
“That…”
Frost looked at me silently, the corners of her mouth curved upwards as she laughed, “Alright then, I’ll bring you to kill the Undead Earth Dragon. But rest assured, if you are in grave danger, I will come to your rescue.”
“Okay…”
……
“Ding!”’

……
“Pa pa pa…”
As my Purple Dawn Boots stomped on the cold stones, I followed Frost one step at a time, into the deeper parts of Dragon City. After a few checkpoints, the prison finally appeared!
“My liege!”
The guards of the Earth Prison uniformly raised their arms to their chest, making the Dragon City’s formal salute.
Frost nodded slightly and said, “Guards, give me the key to the Earth Dragon’s prison!”
“My liege, why are you…?”
“Just give it to me, don’t ask!”
“Yes!”
After taking the pitch black key from the guards, Frost smiled towards me, “Come, let’s go!”
After walking around the prison, we arrived at the most southern part of the Earth Prison. At the end of the corridor, I could faintly hear the howling of a beast. But it didn’t seem to be a dragon’s roar, or maybe it was because the Earth Dragon’s rank too low?
Right ahead, there was a heavy iron door. The beasts howls resounded right from behind the door. Frost took out the key, slowly turning it as a “Ga Da” sound was heard, and the door was unlocked. She looked at me and smiled lightly, “Be careful now…”
“Be careful of what?”
“Just be careful…”
As she said that, Frost suddenly opened the prison gates. With it, a breath of burning air assaulted my face. With the roaring of the Earth Dragon, a breath of Dragon Flames suddenly rushed towards me. When I realized that dodging it was too late, Frost suddenly closed the prison gates, and only a crimson red flame could be seen seeping through the gaps under the prison gate door, burning the ice on the frozen ground.
