“We should retreat as early as possible.”

Halfway through the mountainside of the Dragon Nest ruins, the four-person team finally came up with such a result after a low discussion.

Ivan held his breath and looked secretly at the foot of the mountain. The huge dragon beast covered in steel was making a heavy roaring breath, as if it was about to launch an attack. In front of it, the men in black had sorted out their formations, and four spellcasters were protected behind fifteen melee professions, while the longbower and other professions were already hidden in other places.

At the center of the team, the black-clothed spell caster who seemed to be a woman floated in the air, stirring the translucent magic waves on her body, proving that she was a golden beginner mage.

The battle between the middle-level dragon beast of the golden level and the team with the strong golden powers is enough to affect thousands of meters away. Even if the four people are located halfway up the mountain, it is unlikely that they will completely avoid the chaotic magic fluctuations. Ivan and the others are all black iron level mages, and the riot elemental environment will have a great impact on their bodies.

But it was not because of these reasons that really made everyone decide to retreat as soon as possible.

“Those guys are cultists!”

Not long ago, the extremely nervous warning of the half-dwarf Nick was still echoing in everyone's ears, and later, the obscure magic fluctuations transmitted from the black casters also proved this. The seemingly filthy and blasphemous runes flew out from the black staff in their hands, forming one magic circle after another, gathering on the golden caster.

What are cultists? No need to answer, the Northland, and so much so that people on the entire Mycrov continent know that they are all madmen who are devoted to creating wars and killings, plagues and turmoil. Hundreds of years ago, when cultists were at their peak, news of demon sacrifices and massacres came from all over the place almost every few days. The four of them grew up listening to the horror stories of cultists. They naturally understood how unusual it was for such a group of cultists with golden power to appear in the Northland.

There was no time to think about what these cultists came to the Dragon Nest for. Ivan and Amira quickly decided to evacuate the elemental turbulent area as soon as possible while they were fighting with the Dragon Beast, and then use the specially made communication array of the academy to notify the academy mentor to come as soon as possible to kill or capture these cultists. This importance has exceeded the purpose of their trip.

Karin naturally had no objection, and so was Nick.

At the foot of the mountain, the battle has begun.

The Iron Armored Dragon could not stand his character. This giant beast seemed to be pangolin, but the huge beast was not interested in the group of small insects in front of him. Even if there was an existence with a breath close to it, it didn't care at all.

The huge limbs were as moving as the stone pillars supporting the temple, and trampling heavily on the ground. The giant beast decided to ignore the group of humans who were trying to stop it. The whole body seemed to move to the fortress and rushed straight towards the ruins of the dragon's nest.

Countless deposited snow dust on the ground was shaken up, and cracks spread one after another. Facing the giant beasts that collided like mountain peaks, even the elite cultists inevitably felt a little fear in their hearts. However, they had received corresponding combat training, so as the Iron Armored Mountain Dragon began to charge, the formation of these cultists changed, skillfully avoiding the straight line of the giant beasts colliding and came to the other side.

These all have high-level warriors in the silver skillfully avoid the airflow generated by the opponent's charge, raise the enchanted sword and chain hammer in their hands, then raise the fighting spirit, break the atmosphere, and smash it hard on the shell of the opponent's limbs.

But it was useless. The Iron Armored Mountain Dragon was still charging. The sword blade and the shell intersected, causing a violent creaking sound. A powerful anti-shock force came, which shook the sword blades and shattered. Even though several soldiers were stabbed by fragments of their weapons, they could not continue fighting for the time being.

The dragon beast covered with [Restoration Stance] will not be involved in the footsteps of the miscellaneous soldiers. The only ones that can be stopped are the strong men of the same level.

"Get back, sure enough, it's not a gold-level existence, and there's no way to stop Shanlong's charge."

At the center of the team, the woman in black took off her hood and showed her true face. Her face was half a beautiful woman, half a bone left, and a skeleton filled with black mist. A steady soul fire burned in her black eye sockets, releasing a blue light. The woman called a priest looked at the dragon beast that was charging forward and raised the staff in her hand.

The staff was pale and at the top was a huge skull. It was cast from human bones. Two dazzling magic crystals were inlaid in the eyes of the skull. Through the magic circles prepared before, the woman who gathered the power of three other cult casters aimed the skull staff at the Iron Armored Mountain Dragon, and then quickly chanted a blasphemous spell.

One invisible wave after another and black shadow appeared, and then pounced towards the dragon beast. As the magic spread, the Iron Armored Dragon immediately felt that the atmosphere around him seemed to turn into solid, making his body stagnant. The next moment, the shadow turned into huge black arms, wrapping around its limbs, trying to fix it in place.

[Atmosphere Stagnation] and [Shadow Grass], the two magics cast by the golden-level mage are enough to solidify the air into a body that is better than the rock walls. The huge shadow tentacles can even crush steel, but they cannot stop the huge power of the dragon beast. Only in a moment, with the roar of the Iron-Armored Mountain Dragon, it got rid of the spell cast by the black-clothed priest, and then rushed towards the other side like a gust of the wind and waves. The staff of the priestess who had won the time to cast also began to light up a faint gray light.

A huge vibration came from the foot of the mountain. The four people on the side of the mountain knew that the battle had begun. With the roar like thunder, Ivan was about to take his companions out of this dangerous area. They carefully left the hill they had hidden before and ran quickly towards the bottom of the mountain.

But the golden priest who was fighting keenly noticed something wrong. She immediately turned her head, and the light of soul fire flashed in the black eye sockets on the skeleton's face. She said in a sharp voice: "There are people halfway up the mountain! He saw us!"

At this time, the woman in black was using various seemingly evil spells to weaken the resistance of the Iron Armored Mountain Dragon, and repeatedly used frost magic to curb the dragon beast's intention to spit out the breath of flames. The magic fluctuations on her body released an obvious and filthy aura. Even ordinary people could know that this must be a cultist.

This operation was confidential. They spent a great price to pass through the Grand Canyon and sneak into Moldavia, the northern part of the world. If this incident was discovered by ordinary people and told Joshua or Nostradamus, then there was no doubt that their mission was extremely likely to fail. So after hearing this from their leader, most of the cultists present quickly ran towards the hillside of the Dragon Nest ruins.

Anyway, facts have proved that they cannot cause any damage to the Iron Armored Mountain Dragon. Whether it is swords, spells or crossbows, they cannot break the opponent's iron shell at all. The dragon beast also has a thick transparent eyelid in its eyes, which is difficult for even a priest to break.

Because the magic that blocked the aura was removed before, the Ivan and his group, who were found to have their whereabouts, looked heavy. They had not left very far and were discovered by the other party. According to the speed of the silver powerful man, they would not be caught up in it for a long time.

"I...I'll come to the palace."

After hesitating for a moment, Ivan made a decision immediately. He turned his head to look at his companion, his tone was firm and he could not refuse: "Give me all the magic scrolls and acid grenades, you guys go."

Although ruthless, this is something that was agreed upon at the beginning of the formation of the team. When the four-person team encounters an unstoppable enemy, if someone volunteers to the rear, the others should not waste their time and let the other party's sacrifice be wasted.

Nick clenches his fists and Karin grits his teeth, but they are not ordinary teenagers from the greenhouse. Nick's parents had already died in a dark tide eight years ago. He has been hunting by himself and helping his uncle's family to persevere until now. Karin's elders are even knights in the Black Forest Fortress. She has to go through a warcraft siege every year. How could she not know the courage and determination required to make such a decision?

It is precisely because they know that they will never waste it with willfulness.

The two of them silently handed over all the magic props on their bodies to Ivan. Amira looked at her brother, and she opened her mouth slightly and took a step forward, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she hugged the other party for a moment, and then left silently.

At the foot of the mountain, the battle between the two powerful golden men continued. The priest used various vicious curse spells to weaken the physique and strength of the dragon beast, and cleverly used various techniques to suppress the Iron Armored Mountain Dragon, making it unable to spew the breath of the flame dragon. At present, it seems that there is no one who has the upper hand, but this battle will never end in a short time.

Some of the cultists of the silver rank were left to take care of the wounded, while the other part rushed to the hillside. The cultist in black, who was originally hidden nearby was a longbowman. His speed was not slow and the distance was close, so the first one came to his destination.

And a figure appeared in front of him.

Ivan Makarov, a young man from a hunter, stared at the enemy in front of him with cold eyes, and a steady light flashed in his gray pupils. He held a scroll in his hand, which looked ordinary, wearing an academy uniform and a white snow robe, and his eyebrows were not handsome, but he stood on the ground, as unshakable as an iron statue.

The next moment, the scroll in the boy's hand flashed, releasing a gray beam of light. The longbower could not dodge and could only raise his arm to block it. But the moment he touched the beam, his whole body made a creaking sound, which was completely petrified. The beam did not stop. It jumped over the longbower who turned into a stone statue and swept towards the other cultists behind him. In just an instant, more than five cultists were petrified.

The strength of silver and black iron is far less than that of silver and gold. The great between gold and Jiyi, Jiyi and legend. Both have not reached the extraordinary level and are still among the mortals. If used properly, the black iron-level mage may of course use scrolls and other items to kill silver.

What Ivan used was the last method given by the college tutors to protect these students who went out for trial. This petrified beam reel, which could be used by the Black Iron-level mage, brought a large amount of magic reserves on the petrified beam reel, so that even seriously injured students could easily use it. At the moment the scroll was used, a sudden and sharp alarm sounded in a secret room of the Winter Castle Academy.

"What's going on?! Which team is in danger?"

A mentor outside the secret room rushed in and asked nervously loudly. The personnel in the secret room who were already monitoring various intelligence immediately replied: "It's Squad No. 1, Ivan Makarov and others! The detection array on the scroll shows that there are golden magic fluctuations around them!"

"Golden level?! Damn, where are they!"

"The Arctic Ice Field, White Dragon's Nest!"

Half a minute later, a rescue team composed of two gold-level mages and four high-level silver mages went to the extreme Arctic Icefield to rescue through the teleportation array.

At this time, Ivan's situation was very bad. Although the cultists who were running quickly were petrified by him with a petrified beam scroll, if they didn't care about it for a while, these petrified people would get rid of the influence of magic and come back to life. Other cultists who were not good at running straight lines, but instead jumped forward in the form of various rocky terrain.

In this way, although the speed of advancement was greatly reduced, Ivan, who held other scrolls, could not aim at the attack. He tried to throw out several bottles of acid grenades commonly used by dwarves, but did not hit the target.

It seems that that's all. The boy thought helplessly. But this is not bad, at least it delayed their speed of progress and pursuit time.

This world is so dangerous, so he had long thought about death. The boy who was determined to become a dragon slayer had long thought that he might die in the middle of the journey by accident, but even he did not expect that it would come so quickly.

It seems that I can't hunt the dragon with my own hands and avenge my parents...but at least my sister...

And his sister Amira suddenly stopped halfway through the retreat.

"Amira, don't stop!"

At this moment, even Nick, who admired the other party, said in a deep voice: "Don't do stupid things, let your brother's sacrifice be in vain!"

The red-haired girl Karin is ready to knock him out and take him away if the other party doesn't follow him. The northerners never do this. They don't have time to play with the deep love of brothers and sisters at this time. Only by surviving can they have the chance to take revenge.

But the girl with long platinum hair did not immediately answer her companion’s question. She just glanced at the remains of the Dragon Nest, the ice and snow that were somewhat shaky because of the aftermath of the battle between the golden-level powerful men, and an inexplicable light flashed in her eyes.

"Nick, Karin, don't deceive yourself. We can't escape if there is a golden strong man on the other side." The girl said softly: "But I have a plan that may delay it for a longer time."

She told her plan.

This highly Northern style plan touched the other two people in an instant.

A moment later, Ivan, who was leaning against the rocks and terrain and using magic scrolls to delay the cultist's progress, suddenly heard a loud shout.

"ah!!!"

Nick's voice echoed around the entire dragon nest ruins. With the blessing of high-pitched magic, the half-dwarf's original loud voice seemed to thunder in an instant, even surpassing the thunder. The huge sound waves were transmitted, which shocked everyone, including the cultists.

The next moment, a red arrow with magical brilliance drew a long track in the air, and then landed under the mountain top, at the ruins of the ice and snow formed by the collapse of the dragon nest.

"Then, that's Karin's burst arrow!"

Looking at the arrow falling in shock, Ivan, as the chief of the academy, was so smart that he understood the thoughts of his companions in an instant. A huge shock and touch came from his mind, making him unable to speak for a while.

No words are needed either.

Because of the huge roar, it overwhelmed all sounds.

The originally stable ruins of the Dragon Nest were shaken by the battle of the powerful golden men at the foot of the mountain, and the echoing sound waves and violent explosions became the last straw that crushed the ice and snow on the top of the mountain.

Rumble

The dull and violent roar echoed in the air. At the foot of the mountain, she was fighting with the Iron Armored Mountain Dragon. She took advantage of the weakness of the other party's low wisdom and gained a little upper hand. She suddenly looked up at the snow mountain behind her. Because of the shock, she ended her suppression of the dragon beast in an instant. The huge dragon beast took this opportunity to sweep it off and knocked it away.

"The dragon's nest collapses...it's impossible to complete the task!"

And at this moment, the priest was not thinking about himself, but the task assigned by the high priest.

It can be seen that on the hillside, large groups of ice and snow rush down the hillside. The scene is like a tsunami torrent and a sand castle collapses. The violent roar and vibration caused the earth to shake like an earthquake, causing all the cultists who were still halfway up the hill to explode.

They immediately gave up their pursuit of Ivan and others, and fled to the bottom of the mountain. As silver-level existences, they are indeed likely not to die because of an avalanche, but it is very likely that they will be seriously injured and dying. No one will be so stupid that they will fight the avalanche, which is suicide.

The avalanche seemed slow, but in fact it was extremely fast. In just a few seconds, the ice and snow that were originally on the top of the mountain had already surged, catching up with the group of escaped cultists and swallowing them one by one. At the same time, Ivan hid behind a rock, praying that he could survive. Amira and others, who had been ready to resist, also made the same move, waiting for the ice and snow to collapse.

At the foot of the mountain, the huge dragon beast looked at the avalanche, but there was no fluctuation in his heart. It did not even look back, but continued to move towards the mountain until it was flooded by the gradually stopped snow torrent.

After the violent roar, there was a long-lost tranquility.

The foot of the mountain is covered with white ice and snow, as if it has become a snowy plain.

I don't know how long it took, a small hill was arched on the flat snow surface. The next moment, the hill collapsed into a hole, and a black figure floated up from it, and a female voice that was ashamed and angry as she was heard.

"Damn it! If I know who caused the avalanche, I must......"

This sound, which was originally full of resentment and unwillingness, gradually became lower and weaker, and almost nothing. Only the sound of women's teeth trembling and teeth colliding with each other.

Because a man was standing in front of her, staring at her with interest.

"Tell me."
