Chapter 259 Battle Against the Frost Dragon

Faced with the frost dragon that could change its expression in an instant, Dui immediately used Phantom Shift to dodge the attack.

It reappeared on the back of the Frost Dragon.

"Avada Kedavra!"

A dazzling green light struck the frost dragon.

The frost dragon froze, then let out a painful roar.

"Damn it!" Dui cursed under his breath and immediately Apparated away.

As an ancient dragon created by Morgoth in the First Age, Gram, the Frost Dragon, possessed an extremely powerful soul. Even the Killing Curse only severely damaged his soul and failed to destroy him completely.

The frost dragon, severely wounded by Dui, went completely mad.

"Wizard, I want you dead!"

It then launched a frenzied attack on Dui, continuously spewing out extremely cold air from its mouth, causing the earth to tremble due to its massive body, which was over a thousand meters long.

Dui used his Phantom Transformation technique repeatedly to dodge the Frost Dragon's attacks while subtly luring it away from Eisengard.

The dragon Smaug also flew over to help.

Moreover, because Smaug can fly while the frost dragon Gram cannot, the size difference between the two is enormous.

However, thanks to his advantage of flight, Smaug narrowed the gap in strength between himself and the Frost Dragon, allowing him to maneuver around it in the sky and continuously unleash dragonfire attacks.

The giant eagle, Zorondo, also used its extremely fast flight speed to constantly harass the dragon in the sky. With a swoop, it dodged the attack of the cold air and used its sharp claws to grab the broken part of the dragon's scales, tearing off a large piece of dragon flesh.

The frost dragon roared in agony and angrily lunged at the giant eagle, Thorondo, but Thorondo dodged it.

Immediately afterward, the Frost Dragon felt a pain coming from its tail.

Turning his head, he saw a three-headed wolf biting his tail tightly, shaking its head rapidly and tearing at it.

The venomous and corrosive teeth broke through the dragon's scales, finally causing the frost dragon to feel pain.

The three-headed wolf, which was ten meters tall, was just an insignificant ant in the eyes of the Frost Dragon. Enraged, the dragon swung its tail and sent the wolf flying, crashing into a mountainside thousands of meters away.

The three-headed wolf let out a mournful howl and immediately lost its fighting ability.

“Cerberus!” Dui looked at the three-headed wolf with concern.

Then Dui's gaze toward the Frost Dragon grew even colder.

As his emotions shifted, his eyes were quickly covered by white, black mist rose from his body, and his body gradually became ethereal, turning into a large, shapeless mass of churning black mist.

In an instant, the black mist rushed toward the frost dragon with speeds exceeding those of the wind, wreaking havoc on its body with immense destructive power.

The black mist was like countless grains of black sand, grinding away the dragon's hard scales piece by piece, revealing the more vulnerable dragon skin, which was then torn apart by an invisible force, causing cold blood to flow out.

However, the Frost Dragon was not easy to deal with. Even when Dui transformed into his Obscurus form, he only injured Dui's appearance and did not cause fatal damage.

To prevent Dui from getting close, the Frost Dragon directly sprayed its own body with icy air.

The cold air quickly condensed into a layer of cold, hard ice on the dragon's body, which acted like the dragon's armor, protecting its entire body.

Neither Smaug's dragonfire nor Dui's attacks could damage the ice layer surrounding the frost dragon's body; they could not harm the main body at all.

Suddenly, the Frost Dragon became even more difficult to deal with.

Moreover, the Frost Dragon quickly realized Dui's intention to lure him away from Eisengard.

Longyan glanced at the Black Barbarian warriors and Rohan cavalry below Osankta, a cruel sneer appearing on his face.

"You care about these people? Then how about I freeze this place?"

Without giving Dui a chance to answer, he directly and wantonly spewed out cold air in all directions. The cold air spread rapidly in all directions, the temperature dropped rapidly, frost quickly formed on the ground, and even the breath he exhaled instantly turned into ice crystals!
Everyone felt the biting cold, and if it wasn't stopped in time, everyone would freeze to death in ten minutes.

Dui materialized his upper body from his Obscurial form, leaped to block the walls of Eisengard, and summoned raging flames with a wave of his hand.

The Fiendfire spread rapidly, coalescing into a high wall of Fiendfire around Eisengard.

The wall of raging fire blocked the spread of the cold air, and in the end you transformed into a fiery demon.

The Flame Demon roared and drew a long, fiery whip, lashing it at the Frost Dragon and cracking its frost armor.

The Fiery Whip attempted to spread across the Frost Dragon, but the Frost Dragon was not to be outdone; it breathed out a chilling aura that instantly froze and extinguished the Fiery Whip.

The fierce fire and the cold air were evenly matched, with the only difference being that which could continuously suppress the other through sheer quantity.

With ice and fire intertwined, the ice was melted and evaporated by the fierce fire, and the entire city of Essengard was shrouded in a thick fog, so thick that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

Then, affected by the frost dragon's chill, the mist turned into ice crystal snowflakes floating in mid-air.

With his vision obstructed, the basilisk Herpo stealthily crept up behind the frost dragon. Taking advantage of the dragon's momentary lapse in attention, he bit into the spot without scales, injecting all his stored venom into it.

The frost dragon, in pain, instinctively turned its head, opened its massive mouth to spew out icy air to freeze the attacker to death, only to be met with a pair of orange-yellow snake eyes.

Upon being attacked by the basilisk's eyes, the Frost Dragon suffered another severe blow to its soul, letting out a painful roar. "Avada Kedavra!" Dui appeared beside the Frost Dragon, casting the Killing Curse once more.

Having suffered successive attacks from the Basilisk's Deadly Eye and Dui's Killing Curse, the Frost Dragon's soul was already extremely weakened.

Faced with the combined attacks of Dui, Smaug the dragon, Saurondor the eagle, Helbo the basilisk, and the Fiery Demon, as well as the nearly ten thousand menacing Black Barbarian warriors and Rohan cavalry, the Frost Dragon felt its life threatened for the first time, and fear showed in its eyes.

As an ancient dragon that has survived to this day, the Frost Dragon Gram cherishes its life very much. After immediately exhaling cold air at Dui and the others to repel them, it turned around without hesitation and quickly fled into the Misty Mountains.

The Frost Dragon was very clever and cunning. He knew that to the east was the Kingdom of Rohan, to the south was the Kingdom of Gondor, and to the west was the region of Enid, all of which were inhabited by humans.

Only by fleeing north to the Misty Mountains can one successfully escape by taking advantage of the mountains' ruggedness and enigmatic nature.

Unable to fly, he relied on his massive body and strong limbs to move swiftly.

"Chase after him! We can't let him escape!" Dui shouted quickly, then transformed into his silent form and chased after the frost dragon like a black wind.

It wasn't that Dui was unwilling to let the Frost Dragon go, but rather that he had heard the Frost Dragon's inner thoughts and knew it was a dragon with an extremely strong desire for revenge.

The Frost Dragon already considers him an enemy and is just waiting for an opportunity to take revenge in the future.

Dui was always accustomed to taking precautions, so he naturally couldn't sit idly by while a giant dragon was secretly lurking and could come out to retaliate against him at any time.

For the first time, Dui flew using his own power. In his silent form, he seemed to have no weight or shape; in essence, he was a mass of destructive magical power.

His flight speed was also very fast, and he caught up directly with the fleeing frost dragon.

The frost dragon quickly turned around and exhaled a burst of icy air.

The black mist-like Dui instantly dispersed, avoiding the frost dragon's attack, and then regrouped, rushing directly towards the dragon, transforming into a black curtain that covered the dragon's body, constantly eroding and destroying it.

The frost dragon, in pain, quickly breathed cold air at itself, adding a layer of ice armor to itself and trying to freeze Dui.

Even in its silent form, Dui dared not face the chill directly and quickly dodged away from the dragon.

Just then, Smaug and the giant eagle Saurondo caught up, and even the basilisk Helpo wrapped himself around Smaug and followed.

Smaug unleashed dragonfire from the sky at the frost dragon below, while Helbo, on his body, took the opportunity to unleash Deadly Eye upon the frost dragon.

The frost dragon breathed out cold air to defend against the dragonfire attack, but it was impossible to defend against it, and it saw the basilisk's eyes again.

He was instantly struck again, his breath of cold air was interrupted, and Smaug's dragonfire landed directly on him, melting his frost armor.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the giant eagle Zorondo swooped down and used its sharp claws to fiercely grab the broken part of the dragon scales, tearing off a large piece of flesh.

The blood-soaked frost dragon roared in agony.

Taking advantage of the dragon's weakness, Dui once again cast a killing spell, striking the dragon.

The soul fire of the frost dragon was dim and lifeless, as if it were about to go out at any moment.

Sensing the rapid passing of life, the frost dragon's eyes were filled with frenzied hatred.

"You want me to die? Then let's die together!"

As he spoke, an extremely chilling aura erupted from his body, and a low growl came from his throat, stirring up the surrounding natural energy.

"Oh no! Master, he's sacrificing his life force with dragon magic! Retreat!" Smaug noticed the anomaly and immediately shouted a warning.

Upon hearing this, Dui retreated swiftly in his silent form without hesitation.

The next second, an extreme chill erupted from the frost dragon, sweeping rapidly outwards with the freezing atmosphere.

The chill spread outwards in a ring, freezing everything—trees, rocks, insects, birds—in an instant. Even the air itself was frozen, taking on an icy hue.

This is the strongest power unleashed by the Frost Dragon at the cost of its life force.

The coverage area is over ten miles.

Thanks to Smaug's early warning, Dui's swift retreat, which took him far from the coldest part of the city, and the timely deployment of a protective barrier, he was spared from being frozen solid.

The giant eagle Saurondo, the dragon Smaug, and the basilisk Helpo they carried all retreated in time and were not affected.

Even so, they were all covered in a layer of frost.

Affected by the cold, Haierbo became lethargic and was at risk of hibernating at any time.

But even at the very center of the ice, the Frost Dragon did not die.

In fact, because he cherished his life, he only used a portion of his life force to unleash his power at the very end.

Otherwise, if he wanted to perish together with them, the power of the ice he unleashed would be far more terrifying than it is now, enough to make it impossible for Dui and the others to escape the freezing speed.

The frost dragon, having lost a portion of its life force, appeared extremely weak, unable even to exhale any cold air.

He immediately turned and fled deeper into the Misty Mountains without looking back.
