Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 257 Silently

With the violent explosion, everyone below looked up at the sky with hope.

But the next second, the iceberg reappeared from the clouds of the explosion.

Dui's all-out attack only shattered the lower half of the iceberg, while the larger upper part remained undamaged.

The iceberg was formed by the Frost Dragon rapidly freezing it with its extreme cold air; it was extremely cold and incredibly solid.

After being hit by Dui's Explosive Curse, it paused for only a second before continuing to fall, crashing down on Eisengard.

On the ground, the warriors of the Black Barbarian Lands and the Rohan cavalry wore expressions of despair.

On Smaug's back, Dui still did not give up.

"Shock absorption! Protect everything! Super armor to protect you! Impregnable..." Dui desperately cast spells one after another to slow down the iceberg's descent.

At the same time, he fully activated the Ring of Power in his hand, creating an unprecedentedly huge shield that enveloped the Black Barbarian warriors, Rohan cavalry, as well as the giant eagle Saurondor, the griffin Aslan, the three-headed wolf Cerberus, and others.

In an instant, all the magic stored in the Ring of Power was poured out to maintain the shield's strength.

Dui stood on Smaug's back, at the very top of the shield, supporting the sky with one hand, becoming the first to be hit by the iceberg.

Despite Dui's relentless efforts to use various magical spells to hinder its descent, the iceberg seems to be showing signs of slowing down.

But the Frost Dragon was clearly unwilling to give Dui this chance. It swooped down from the sky and continuously spewed out torrents of cold air at the iceberg, causing it to fall faster and increasing its weight.

Dui's protective barriers were like fragile glass, shattered layer by layer by the iceberg.

Finally, with a devastating force, it collided with the massive shield erected by Dui using the Ring of Power.

With a deafening roar, as if Mars were colliding with Earth, or an iceberg were crashing into a shield, ice shards swept across several kilometers like a torrential rain, and the air was instantly frozen, filled with endless cold.

The violent circular shock wave formed a huge storm that spread in all directions, reaching distant mountains and cracking and destroying trees and boulders!
Under the massive impact, Dui, even through the shield, endured a tremendous force, letting out a muffled groan of pain.

The dragon Smaug seemed to be carrying billions of tons of gravity, and its huge wings could no longer maintain the power to stay in the air, causing it to fall down along with Dui.

The massive shield, under the terrifying impact of the iceberg, cracked rapidly, like a severely deformed dome.

Ultimately, the shield could no longer withstand the pressure and shattered.

The iceberg, which had slowed down slightly, crashed down towards the ground, determined to raze the entire Eisengard to the ground.

The top of Osank Tower shattered and collapsed instantly upon touching the iceberg, sending ice shards and rubble flying everywhere, like a countdown to the end of the world.

The giant eagle Sorondo, the griffin Aslan, the hippogriff, the fire dragon, and others flying in the sky all let out mournful cries and fell to the ground under the enormous impact and pressure.

"Is today the end of the world for us Black Barbarians?" Brog, the Black Barbarian leader, stared in despair at the iceberg about to crash down, and this thought flashed through his mind.

King Sengir of Rohan, after his initial shock, surprisingly calmed down. He looked apologetically at the Rohan soldiers he had brought with him, then glanced back in the direction of Rohan, his eyes filled with reluctance.

Just as everyone closed their eyes and awaited death, a terrifying power suddenly erupted from Smaug's back as he fell.

Under the impact of that force, the whole world seemed to fall silent instantly.

The soldiers, who had been waiting to die with their eyes closed, opened them again after a long delay.

Then he stared wide-eyed, looking around in astonishment.

Everything around seemed to have lost its gravity. Ice chips and pebbles floated in mid-air, slowly rotating, while the falling giant eagles, fire dragons, and winged beasts with eagle heads and horse bodies were all suspended in mid-air.

Even the massive iceberg seemed to be frozen in mid-air, as if time had been stopped by magic, just touching the top of Osank Tower and smashing the four polyhedral stone pillars at the top.

Everyone stared in disbelief at what was happening before their eyes.

They all noticed the massive black energy above Smaug the dragon, which looked like a cloud of black mist or a cloud of black dust, radiating a terrifying aura.

The black mist surged and floated in the air, like an unstable mass of energy, rapidly expanding and growing larger, filled with immense destructive power, and instantly rushed towards the iceberg above.

Then it transformed directly into a layer of black mist that enveloped the iceberg, instantly tearing it into countless fragments, which turned into a sky full of ice and snow.

The frost dragon in the sky, witnessing this scene, narrowed its eyes and stared at the black energy entity with surprise and suspicion: "Are you Duir?"

The black energy entity did not answer him. Instead, after tearing apart the iceberg, it transformed into a black gust of wind and rushed towards him.

Without a second thought, the Frost Dragon unleashed a torrent of icy air at Black Wind.

But the black wind was incredibly fast, able to disperse like clouds and mist, dodging the frost dragon's chilling attacks. It rushed directly in front of the frost dragon, transforming into a black cloak-like shape, quickly enveloping the frost dragon and wantonly destroying its body.

The dragon's scales, as hard as icy ice, crumbled piece by piece under the destructive force of the black energy, tearing its skin and drawing out icy, bone-chilling dragon blood. The frost dragon, writhing in pain and fury, tried to tear away the black energy, but it passed through its claws like mist or quicksand, unable to harm it.

Left with no other choice, the Frost Dragon simply spewed its icy breath at itself, hoping to freeze the black energy body with the cold air.

This move did have some effect, successfully freezing a portion of the black energy and forming ice blocks of a dark ice color.

But this still did not affect the black energy body, as if losing that part could not stop it from continuing to cause destruction and activity.

In retaliation, the black energy rapidly spread to the base of the frost dragon's wings, instantly tearing one of the dragon's wings apart by the roots.

The frost dragon let out a shrill, painful scream. With one wing severed, it was powerless to fly and plummeted from the sky, crashing heavily onto the hill between Eisengard and Fangun Forest, causing the mountain to collapse.

The fall from the sky failed to kill the frost dragon, which crawled out of the crater with an angry roar.

Upon hearing the frost dragon's call, the Ringwraiths swiftly surrounded and attacked the black energy entity.

The black energy entity was completely unfazed, splitting into eight black tentacles that entangled with the Ringwraiths. Moreover, the Ringwraiths' Mogul Blades posed no threat to it whatsoever.

Just then, the sky suddenly changed color, and a bolt of lightning struck down without warning, directly hitting the black energy body.

The black energy body vibrated, emitting a terrifying, inhuman roar, and then a pained human face emerged from the black mist energy mass—it was Dui's face.

On the back of the distant dragon, Saruman, who was summoning lightning attacks, wore a triumphant grin.

"Hmph, brat, no matter how capable you are, you'll die today!"

At the same time, the Frost Dragon also unleashed its frigid energy at the black energy entity, combining its attack with Saruman's lightning, determined to kill Dui.

Under the combined attack of the Frost Dragon and Saruman, the black energy body shrank smaller and smaller, and the face of Dui that appeared became more and more painful and weak.

Just then, a loud bugle call rang out, as clear as the rising sun or the thunder of spring.

At the same time, two mithril arrows were fired at Saruman and the Frost Wyrm respectively.

It turned out that it was Brog, the leader of the Black Barbarians, and Sengir, the King of Rohan, who had both intervened when Dui was in danger.

King Sengir of Rohan blew the horn of victory with all his might. The sound of the horn struck the ears of the Frost Dragon and Saruman, and also made the black energy body that Dui had transformed into tremble.

Although the two mithril arrows failed to hit them, they did distract the frost dragon and Saruman.

At the same time, countless arrows rained down on them.

This brief interruption gave the black energy entity a chance to catch its breath, allowing it to rush towards the dragon beneath Saruman and tear it apart, killing it instantly.

The dragon couldn't even utter a word of protest before it plummeted to the ground, dragging Saruman on its back with it.

The black energy entity ignored Saruman and charged towards the frost dragon. Dodging another attack of the frost, it climbed directly onto the dragon's head and began tearing at the iron crown that the dragon's head was rooted in.

The iron crown, as if it had grown onto the dragon's head, let out a painful roar when it was torn apart.

The frost dragon's eyes widened in panic as it struggled to shake off the black energy entity trying to pull off its iron crown. But the black energy entity was like chewing gum stuck to its head; no matter how much it struggled, it clung tightly to the dragon's head, grabbing the iron crown and tearing at it relentlessly.

The Ringwraiths also surrounded and attacked, trying to stop them.

Finally, with a resentful roar from the frost dragon, the iron crown on its head was forcibly pulled off and fell to the ground.

As the Iron Crown left the Frost Dragon, the demonic shadows in the Frost Dragon's eyes disappeared, and it gradually regained its clarity.

The battlefield suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

The Ringwraiths who came to help seemed hesitant, unsure whether to continue.
Just then, the frost dragon roared, its eyes filled with boundless rage and hatred, "Soren, you despicable and shameless scoundrel! You are nothing but a servant of my former master, yet you dare to humiliate me!"

"Revenge! I will have my revenge! I will turn Mordor into icebergs and destroy everything Sauron has!"

Upon seeing the Ringwraiths before him, he immediately unleashed an endless torrent of icy energy.

Caught off guard, the Ringwraiths were instantly frozen by the extreme cold. Only the Witch-King of Angmar reacted quickly and escaped.

Then, these Ringwraiths, frozen in ice, were crushed underfoot by the Frost Dragon.

At the same time, seeing the iron crown that controlled him, he was furious and stomped on it, crushing it as well.

The frost dragon then set its sights on Saruman, for enemies meeting are bound to be furious.

“Despicable wizard, if you hadn’t disturbed my slumber and poisoned me with the venom of Uglyant, I wouldn’t have become a tool manipulated by Sauron! And you dared to use my blood to create those filthy, lowly bastards, I will make you pay the price!”
