"We should retreat as soon as possible. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Halfway up the mountainside of the Dragon's Lair Ruins, the team of four finally came to such a result after discussing in a low voice.

Ivan held his breath and stole a look down the mountain. The huge, steel-covered drake was letting out a roaring breath as if it was about to attack, and in front of it, the men in black had already formed their formations, the four casters were protected behind the fifteen melee professionals, and the longbowmen and the other classes were already hidden elsewhere.

In the center of the team, the black-clad spellcaster who appeared to be a woman floated in mid-air, her body stirring up atmospheric translucent mana fluctuations, proving that she was a golden beginner mage.

The aftermath of the battle between the golden mid-level dragon beast and the team with the golden powerhouse is enough to affect thousands of meters away, even if the four of them are located halfway up the mountain, it is unlikely that they can completely avoid the chaotic magic fluctuations, Ivan They are all black iron level mages, and the riotous elemental environment will have a great impact on their bodies.

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

"Those guys are cultists!"

Not long ago, the nervous warning of the half-dwarf Nick still echoed in everyone's ears, and later, the obscure fluctuations of magic transmitted from the black-clad spellcasters proved it, and the seemingly filthy, blasphemous runes flew out of the black staff in their hands, forming one circle after another, converging on the gold-level spellcaster.

What is a cultist? Needless to say, the Northlands, and the entire Mycrof continent, know that they are all madmen bent on creating wars and killings, plagues and turmoil. Hundreds of years ago, when cultists were at their most rampant, almost every few days, news of demon sacrifices and massacres would come from all over the place, and the four of them had grown up listening to the horror stories of cultists, and they naturally understood how unusual it was for such a group of cultists with golden powerhouses to appear in the Northland.

Without time to think about what this group of cultists came to the dragon's lair for, Ivan and Amira quickly decided to evacuate the elemental turbulent area as soon as possible while they were fighting the dragon beasts, and then use the special communication circle of the academy on their bodies to notify the academy mentors to come as soon as possible to kill or capture these cultists, which was more important than the purpose of their trip.

Karin naturally has no objections, and so does Nick.

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

The ironclad mountain dragon couldn't bear it, this giant beast that looked like a pangolin, but it was extremely huge, and it didn't care at all about the group of small insects in front of it, even if there was an existence whose breath was close to its own, it didn't care at all.

Limbs as huge as the stone pillars that supported the temple moved, stomping heavily on the ground, and the beast decided to ignore the humans who tried to stop it, and its entire body seemed to move as if it were a fortress, and rushed straight towards the ruins of the dragon's lair.

Countless sediments of snow and dust on the ground were shaken, cracks spread, and in the face of the giant beasts that hit like mountain peaks, even if they were elite, these cultists inevitably had a trace of fear in their hearts, but they had already received corresponding combat training, so at the same time that the Iron Armored Mountain Dragon began to charge, the formation of these cultists changed, and they skillfully avoided the straight line of the giant beast's collision and came to the side of the other party.

Each of these high-level warriors in silver deftly avoided the air flow generated by the opponent's charge, raised the enchanted sword and chain hammer in his hand, and then lifted the fighting qi, broke through the atmosphere, and smashed it on the carapace of the opponent's limbs.

But it was useless, and the Iron Mountain Dragon was still charging. The blades and carapace intersected, producing a violent creak, and a powerful anti-shock force came, which instead shook all the blades apart and shattered, even if several fighters were stabbed by the fragments of their own weapons, and could not continue the fight for the time being.

The dragon beast covered by the [Anti-Shock Position] all over its body will not be dragged by the miscellaneous soldiers at all, and the only ones who can stop it are the powerhouses of the same level.

"Retreat, sure enough, it's not a gold-level existence, and there's no way to stop the mountain dragon's charge."

In the center of the procession, the woman in black took off her hood and revealed her true face, her face was half a woman with a good face, half a skeleton with only bones left, and her black eyes burned with a steady soul fire, releasing a blue light, and the woman called the priest looked at the dragon beast that was charging with her head down, and raised the staff in her hand.

This staff is pale all over, and at the top is a huge skull, which is made of human bones, and the eyes of the skull are inlaid with two brilliant magic crystals, and through the magic circle prepared before, the woman who gathered the power of the other three cult casters aimed the skull staff at the iron armor mountain dragon, and then quickly chanted a blasphemous incantation.

One after another invisible fluctuations and black shadows appeared, and then rushed towards the dragon beast, and when the magic power spread, the Iron Mountain Dragon immediately felt that the surrounding atmosphere seemed to turn into solid, allowing its body to freeze, and the next moment, the shadows turned into huge black arms, entangled its limbs, trying to fix it in place.

[Atmospheric Condensation] and [Shadow Grip], these two spells cast by gold-level mages are enough to solidify the air into an entity that is better than the rock wall, and the huge shadow tentacles can crush steel, but they can't stop the huge power of the dragon beast, just a moment later, with the roar of the ironclad mountain dragon, it got rid of the spell cast by the black-clothed priest, and then rushed towards the other party like a raging wind, and the staff of the priestess who won the time to cast the spell also began to light up with a faint gray light.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a loud tremor, and the four people on the mountainside knew that the battle had begun, and with a roar like thunder, Ivan was about to leave this dangerous area with his companions, and they cautiously left the hill where they had been hiding, and ran quickly towards the bottom of the mountain.

But the Golden Priest, who was fighting, was keenly aware of the slightest mistake. She immediately turned her head, the black eyes on the skeleton's half face flashed with the light of soul fire, and she said in a sharp voice, "There are people halfway up the mountain!" He sees us! ”

At this time, the woman in black was using all kinds of spells that looked extremely evil to weaken the resistance of the Iron Mountain Dragon, and repeatedly used frost spells to curb the dragon beast's intention to spew flame dragon breath, and the magic fluctuations on her body released an obviously incomparably filthy aura, even ordinary people could know that this must be a cultist.

This operation is classified, they spent a great deal of money to cross the Grand Canyon and sneak into Moldavia in the Northland, if this matter is discovered by ordinary people and told Joshua or Nostradamus, then there is no doubt that their mission is very likely to fail, so after hearing their leader's words, most of the cultists present quickly rushed towards the halfway point of the dragon's nest ruins.

Anyway, it has been proven that they can't do any damage to the Iron Mountain Dragon, whether it is a sword, a spell or a bow and crossbow, they can't break through the opponent's iron shell at all, and the dragon beast's eyes also have a thick layer of transparent eyelids, which is difficult for even a priest to break.

Because the magic that covered the aura was lifted before, the faces of Ivan and his party who were found were heavy at this time, they did not leave far at this time, they had already been discovered by the other party, according to the speed of the silver powerhouse, it would not be long before they would catch up.

"I ...... I'm coming to the back of the temple. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Ivan made a decision immediately, he looked sideways at his companion, and his tone was firm and could not be refused: "Give me both the magic scroll and the acid grenade, and you guys go quickly." ”

Although ruthless, this is something that has been discussed at the beginning of the formation of the team. When a team of four encounters an unstoppable enemy, if someone volunteers to take the lead, then the others should not waste their time and let the other party's sacrifice be in vain.

Nick clenched his fists, and Karin gritted her teeth, but they weren't ordinary teenagers from a greenhouse. Nick's parents died in a Kuroshio eight years ago, he has always relied on his own hunting and the help of his uncle's family to persist until now, and Karin's family elders are knights in the Black Forest fortress, she has to go through a monster siege once a 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 silently handed over all kinds of magic props on their bodies to Ivan, and Amira looked at her brother, her mouth opened slightly, and she took a step forward, as if she wanted to say something, but finally hugged each other for a moment, and then left silently.

At the foot of the mountain, the battle between the two golden powerhouses is still ongoing, the priest uses all kinds of vicious curse spells to weaken the dragon beast's physique and strength, and skillfully uses various techniques to oppress the iron armored mountain dragon, so that it cannot breathe out the flame dragon breath, at present, it seems that it is impossible to say who has the upper hand, but this battle will not end in a moment.

Some of the silver-tiered cultists stayed behind to take care of the wounded, while the other part rushed to the halfway point of the mountain, led by the black-clothed cultist who was originally hiding nearby, a longbowman who was originally hiding nearby, his speed was not slow, and the distance was close, so he was the first to come to his destination.

And a figure appeared in front of his eyes.

Ivan Makarov, a hunter-turned-teenager, stared at the enemy in front of him with cold eyes, his gray eyes shining with a calm light. He held a scroll in his hand, he looked ordinary, wearing a college uniform and a white snow robe, and his eyebrows were not handsome, but he stood on the ground, as unshakable as a steel statue.

And the next moment, the scroll in the young man's hand flickered, releasing a gray beam of light, the longbowman couldn't dodge, he could only raise his arm to block, but the moment he touched this beam, the whole person's body made a creaking sound, and was completely petrified, this beam did not stop, it jumped over the longbowman who turned into a stone statue, and swept towards the other cultists behind him, just in an instant, more than five cultists were petrified.

The strength of silver and black iron is far less different than that between silver and gold, gold and extreme intent, extreme intent and legendary, both of which have not reached the transcendental, and still belong to the flow of mortals, if used properly, black iron level mages are of course likely to use scrolls and other items to kill silver.

What Ivan used was the last resort given by the academy mentor to protect these students who went out for trials, and this kind of petrified beam scroll that could be used by black iron mages came with a large amount of magic reserves, so that even seriously injured students could easily use it, and at the moment when this scroll was used, a sharp alarm sounded in a certain secret room of Wintercastle Academy.

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

A mentor outside the secret room immediately rushed in and asked nervously and loudly, and the personnel in the secret room who were already monitoring various intelligence immediately replied: "It's Team 1, Ivan Makarov, them!" The detection circle on the scrolls shows that there are gold-level magic fluctuations around them! ”

"Gold?! Damn, where are they! ”

"The Arctic Ice Field, the White Dragon's Lair!"

Half a minute later, a rescue team consisting of two gold-level mages and four silver-level high-level mages passed through the teleportation array and went to the Far North Ice Sheet to rescue.

At this time, Ivan's situation was very bad. Although the cultists who came running quickly were petrified by him with a petrified beam scroll, as long as they were left alone after a while, these petrified people would get rid of the influence of magic and come back to life, while the other cultists who saw that the situation was not good no longer ran in a straight line, but jumped forward in an S-shape with the help of various rocky terrain.

In this way, although the speed of his progress was greatly reduced, it also made it impossible for Ivan, who was holding other scrolls, to aim and attack, and he tried to throw a few bottles of acid grenades, which were commonly used by the dwarves, but did not hit the target.

It seems that this is the end of it. The boy thought helplessly. But it's not bad, at least it slows them down and the time they have to chase.

This world is so dangerous, so he has long thought about death, just since the dragon beast invaded the village and killed his parents, the boy who aspired to become a dragon slayer had long thought that he might die due to an accident in the middle of the way, but even he didn't expect it to come so soon.

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

And his sister Amira, in the middle of the retreat, suddenly stopped.

"Amira, don't stop!"

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

And the red-haired girl Karin is ready to knock her out if the other party doesn't obey, she will be knocked out and taken away, the Northland people have never been like this, they don't have time to play any brother and sister love at this time, only by surviving can they have a chance of revenge.

But the girl with the long white and blonde hair didn't immediately answer her companion's question, she just glanced at the ruins of the dragon's nest, the ice and snow that were a little crumbling because of the aftermath of the battle of the gold-level powerhouse, and her eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.

"Nick, Karin, don't fool yourself, there is a golden powerhouse on the other side, and we can't run away." The girl whispered, "But I have a plan, maybe I can delay it for a little longer." ”

She said her plan.

This Northland-style plan impressed the other two in an instant.

A moment later, Ivan, who was leaning against the rocks and terrain of the mountains and using magic scrolls to slow down the cultists' advance, suddenly heard a loud shout.

"Ah————!!!h

Nick's voice echoed around the entire Dragon's Lair Ruins, and with the blessing of high-pitched magic, the half-dwarf's original loud voice seemed to thunder in an instant, even exceeding it, and the huge sound wave transmission made everyone, including the cultists, startled.

In the next moment, a red arrow with magical brilliance slashed through the air in a long trajectory, and then landed below the mountaintop, where the dragon's nest collapsed and formed the ruins of ice and snow.

"Well, that's Karin's Burst Arrow!"

Shocked to see the arrow falling, as the head of the academy, Ivan was so smart, he understood the thoughts of his companions in an instant, and a huge shock and emotion came from his mind, making him speechless for a while.

There are no words to be had.

Because of the great roar, it drowned out all sounds.

The originally stable ruins of the dragon's nest were shaken by the battle of the golden powerhouse at the foot of the mountain, and the reverberating sound waves and violent explosions became the last straw that crushed the ice and snow on the top of the mountain.

Boom Rumble————

A dull and violent roar echoed in mid-air, and at the foot of the mountain, the black-clothed priest who was fighting with the ironclad mountain dragon and had a slight upper hand with the help of the opponent's low intelligence suddenly looked up at the snow-capped mountain behind him, because of shock, she ended the suppression of the dragon beast in an instant, and the huge dragon beast took this opportunity to sweep its tail and beat it far away.

"The Dragon's Lair Collapses...... There's no way to complete the mission! ”

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

Halfway up the mountain, large clouds of ice and snow rushed down the hillside, the scene was like a tsunami torrent, the sand castle collapsed, and the violent roar and shaking caused the earth to shake like an earthquake, causing all the cultists who were still halfway up the mountain to die.

They immediately gave up the pursuit of Ivan and the others, and fled towards the bottom of the mountain, as a silver-level existence, it is indeed very likely that they will not die because of the avalanche, but it is very likely that they will be seriously injured and dying, no one will be stupid enough to resist the avalanche, that is suicide.

The avalanche seemed slow, but it was actually extremely fast, and in just a few seconds, the snow and ice that had been on the top of the mountain were already surging, catching up with the fleeing cultists and engulfing them one by one. At the same time, Ivan hid behind a rock, praying that he would survive, and Amira, who had long been prepared to resist, did the same, waiting for the ice and snow to fall down.

At the foot of the mountain, the huge dragon beast looked at the avalanche, but its heart did not fluctuate at all, it did not even look back, but continued to move towards the mountain until it was also drowned by the gradually stopping torrent of snow.

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

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

I don't know how long later, the flat snow arched a small hill, and in the next moment, the hill collapsed into a hole, and a black figure floated up from it, and a female voice was heard in annoyance.

"Damn! If I had to know who caused the avalanche, I would have to ...... To ......"

This voice, which was originally full of resentment and unwillingness, gradually became lower and weaker, almost nothing, and only the sound of a woman's teeth chattering and teeth colliding with each other could be heard.

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

"Say it."

Joshua moved his wrist and said, "What are you going to do to my students?" ”
