Unfortunately, [Ice Dragon’s Fury]’s duration was extremely long. Right after Who’s Blue revived, she was immediately killed again. Yue Qing Qian, Darling Duck, and Fox were all killed. Lin Wan Er hid under her umbrella and furrowed her eyebrows, her health was constantly dropping before her snow white knees finally slowly knelt to the ground as she fell. Following close behind, Matcha also fell to the ground. Dong Cheng Yue’s [Mana Shield] was penetrated by the hail and she also evaporated into a white light. In the blink of an eye, 8 top players were dead and besides me, everyone was killed – the team was annihilated!
Looking up, the sky was covered with snow; [Ice Dragon’s Fury]’s area of effect covered the entire map. Unless the skill’s activation was disrupted, everyone would all die. But with our current levels, it was very unlikely that we could disrupt the skill, which was where our problem lied.
The climb up was excruciatingly hard as dirt and rocks fell between my clothes and eyes giving me a searing pain.
In the team chat, Yue Qing Qian shouted: “Brother Xiao Yao, we’ll run back to our bodies. Don’t leave yet since you’ll be killed the second you come out. [Ice Dragon’s Fury] is a constant spell, if the boss doesn’t die, then the spell will continue to be in effect. Even if the strength drops after the first 15 seconds, you can’t solo the boss right now…..”
As I held my sword, my brows furrowed. Is this the end? Is there no other way to kill this boss?!
My heart was filled with disappointment. This SSS-ranked quest had harmed the rest of the team. There were multiple equipments on the ground, even Lin wan Er’s Scarlet Edge was dropped. If we didn’t pick them back up, they would disappear in 2 hours. What a loss it would be!
……
“Child…..”
In the chaos, I seemed to hear someone calling me. The voice was extremely soft, but I still heard it.
I calmed down and replied, “Who are you?”
That voice continued to call out to me, “Child, don’t worry. I will not harm you. You’ve come here, so you shouldn’t be the Obsidian Dragon God’s subordinate right? I have slept deeply for thousands of years here, it’s been a long time since I spoke to another person…”
My heart skipped a beat, “Are you… Yun Chen Old Man?”
“You…How do you know me?” The other person was a little taken aback. “I was sealed under the ground for thousands of years, even my body was already shattered by the dragon’s powers. Ordinary humans wouldn’t be able to see me. Child, how did you recognize me?”
I replied in a serious tone, “An official called Frost from Dragon City ordered me to come here to break your seal and settle this thousand years old grievance!”
Yun Chen Old Man couldn’t help but laugh bitterly, “There are still people that remember these old bones? Child, how could you be buried so deep? Normally, you wouldn’t be able to hear my voice if you were above ground….”
I lifted my head and looked up, “The Shadow of the Ice Dragon pummeled me down…”
