Age of Adepts

Chapter 1262 - Shadow Demon Appears

The battle started fast, but ended even faster....

Against a group of primordial giants that lacked high level equipment and were empty of strong physical strength and cold power, several of the invaders present had a good experience.

Red Flame Storm....

Death Ripple....

Group petrochemical rays....

The earth trembled....

Psionic energy spills....

After a round of berserk skill output, the dozen or so tall ice giants gathered around their sides had collapsed to the east and west. Those that were a little weaker had their extracorporeal force fields crumbled, their entire bodies entangled in countless strange red-white-gray energies, howling in pain as they collapsed.

Only the three strongest ice giants resisted this round of attacks, roaring loudly as they dazzled with cold wind around their bodies, raising their hands and throwing an extremely thick ice cone at Grim and the others.

These ice cones were a meter in diameter, and were imbued with an absolute cold that could turn everything to dust. Not to mention ordinary creatures, even the few 4th rank present, once they were wrapped up in this kind of cold, it would be extremely difficult for them to escape.

The Ancient Ice Giant was incredibly strong thanks to its profound grasp of absolute cold.

The shamans called it the power of rules, while the giants who were born with the will of the heavens and the earth referred to it as the origin.

Regardless of the name, this kind of guy who studied and controlled a certain kind of power to the extreme, making it reach the peak, was extremely unpleasant.

But rules of success and rules of defeat!

Ancient ice giants were born with the will of the heavens and the earth, and their strength was unparalleled, while the extreme cold power they possessed was enough to kill all their enemies. This is why they were able to make a name for themselves in the ancient times, and were worshipped by countless mundanes in the world.

However, once the will of heaven and earth changed and the Titan clan rose to power, the rest of the Giant side branches also fell away.

Once the Ice Giant clan waned, it also suffered from the siege of many new groups.

The bloodline of the ancient ice giants was cut off, and only a few remnants of their bloodline remained in some remote or humble places. The descendants of these ice giants would not be able to reproduce the terrifying power of the ancient ice giants, and would either have great defects in their flesh, or would not have a strong enough grasp of the power of ice....

In short, they had the empty frame of a 4th order creature, but their true power was far, far from the source of the bloodline!

One round of wild attacks was put to most of the ice giants, and the remaining three strongest ones were rounded out by the Sand King alone.

The Sand King possessed the strange ability of underground penetration.

A single Drill Dig disappeared on the spot, dodging the Ice Giant's insane impromptu counterattack.

When he reappeared, the Sand King was already located at the feet of the three ice giants.

As the earth trembled and the ice cover ruptured, the Sand King's huge, tough body emerged from the ground and lifted the three ice giants into the sky. While they were panicking, the Sand King's two giant pincers spread out, one in front of the other, and pinned the two ice giants of the 3rd rank into two ends.

And it humped the lead ice giant head on, and the scorpion-tailed poison needle behind it stabbed into the opponent's chest, injecting a steady stream of terrifying venom into it.

The head ice giant was worthy of being a rank 4 creature, and did not die immediately even at this level. Instead, he roared and raised his arms to grip the Sand King's gigantic pincers, his mouth suddenly opened to its limit, and he was about to spew out the strongest icy power he had gathered inside his body.

The terrifying cold Qi condensed in the throat of the ice giant leader, its color was thin and white to almost transparent, but the extreme cold law imbued within it made all the strong people present frown.

The Ice Giant's bloodline had waned, but this terrifying strike that condensed its entire body's essence was also very difficult for a 4th stage strongman once it was delivered!

The Sand King immediately struggled wildly.

The two giant pincers and the ice giant leader frantically competed with each other, shattering the bones of the other's upper limbs to shattering pieces. The poisonous needle that had pierced the opponent's chest stirred even more wildly, churning his chest to a bloody pulp.

Unfortunately, the fierce power that burst out before the ice giant leader's death wasn't so easy to get rid of. And the other party had apparently given up on the idea of fighting to the death, even if his body was traumatized, he would rather die than let go.

If it had been a normal battle team, in order to hold the Sand King's meat shield intact, perhaps the crowd would have had to try to rescue them. But the team in front of them was a makeshift squad made up purely of evildoers and wanderers, and no one wanted to put themselves in danger for the sake of rescuing their teammates.

But there were always exceptions to the rule!

Just as the extreme cold power in that ice giant leader's mouth was brewing to an extreme and would not be vomited, a tall figure covered in darkness and shining with a strange metallic luster appeared in the shadows behind it. With an extremely sharp metal blade in its hand stabbing in from behind its head, the dark power swarmed in, instantly annihilating its brain and consciousness.

The extreme cold power that had coalesced to its extreme finally went out of control!

The Extreme Cold Force that should have been under the control of the Ice Giant Chief's will, all sprayed on top of the Sand King's body, suddenly exploded, turning into a suddenly spreading aura of cold ice that rippled out in all directions.

Wherever the extreme cold power reached, the heavens and earth lost their color, and all matter lost its original color, being completely frozen under a layer of beautiful ice crystals that were stronger than fine steel.

A moment later, the ice crystals burst, and the extreme cold power flowed everywhere, transforming all matter into a thinly crushed, unbreakable white slag of ice. And in such a situation, no living being could continue to survive.

But there was always an exception to every rule!

In the midst of the white ice debris that had been bursting, two equally tall and powerful figures broke free of the ice crystals and rushed out from within the cold ice aura's envelope against the terrifying extreme cold force.

The Sand King's originally pale golden body had been enveloped by the white ice crystals, and as he broke through, he frantically trembled his body, shaking off the large clumps of ice debris.

After the white was gone, the re-revealed Sand King appeared to be intact, as if it had not suffered any damage.

However, the few people present perceived very clearly that the Sand King's almost violent earthy yellow origin power was also stained with a trace of white.

It was still struck in the end!

However, the crowd's gaze only shifted slightly on the Sand King before landing on the tall metal puppet behind it.

A 4th stage puppet....

The gazes of the crowd couldn't help but condense.

Grim on the isolated side smiled indifferently, "I'm a spellcaster, not good at melee, it's a logical and sensible thing to bring a metal puppet with me!"

With that, Grim received another blood red crystal and a drop of blood marrow from the Shadow Demon, weighed it in his hand and lightly smiled, "Sand King, you don't mind if I help you out so much and harvest a little material, do you?"

"Don't mind, don't mind... I'd like to thank you for your righteousness just now, otherwise I would have suffered a sluggish loss!" The Sand King shook his huge body, his greenish compound eyes sweeping a glance at Grim, and hurriedly said.

The tall magic puppet moved its body, shaking off the thick ice crystals frozen on its metal body, and its body turned into a black shadow again in Ug, slowly merging into the back of Grim's body.

Only previously it had merged without any flaws, and even a few of the strongest people hadn't noticed its presence. But now, the tangled and unrelenting extreme cold power also added a hint of foreign energy that should not be present in the Shadow Demon's dark power, no longer untraceable.

Several of the teammates couldn't help but force a smile, but deep inside they immediately raised their guard.

In particular, a few spell casters were even more slightly rattled inside, and even their every move was a bit unnatural.

What did the spell casters fear the most? Of course it's the shadowy assassins!

Now that Grim was carrying a shadow puppet with such a powerful invisibility and concealment technique, anyone present couldn't help but feel a little furious.

However, it was fortunate that the Shadow Demons were tainted with a trace of extreme cold power, which allowed them to track and take his location. Otherwise, they would have never dared to let a 4th stage shadow puppet run around by their side.

Having put down all the ice giants, the squad members could not help but pause and start harvesting some of the necessary materials. It would be a shame for the Ice Giant's illustrious reputation not to take the opportunity to collect some of such high level bloodline materials.

All of them made their move.

Soon, the group of ice giant corpses were divided up.

The giant clan may be seen by others as some kind of powerful intelligent beings, but to the group in front of them they are nothing more than materials and resources that can be moved around freely!

The crowd stepped over the ice giant territory and traversed over ten miles of icy ocean snow cover, finally arriving at the foot of that towering ice wall.

Looking at the snowy peak that rose up from the ground in front of them, covered with a thick layer of crystal-clear ice, the crowd took one look at each other, and also soared upwards against the ice wall and flew upwards slowly.

The closer they got to the peak, the more the crowd could feel the dead and icy cold that permeated the entire space. Here, they could no longer feel half a breath of life, the only thing they could feel was the throbbing that came from the depths of their hearts.

The Ancient Harsh Winter Casket... was without a doubt right here!

It was just that its scent was masked by another powerful soul wave.

The crowd was carefully on guard to penetrate the thick layer of clouds floating halfway down the mountain, flying for half an hour before settling down at the top of the ice peak.

This was a huge platform that was more than ten miles in circumference, and in the center of it, a tall and majestic Ice God Temple stood silently standing.

The entire temple did not use the slightest bit of earth and wood, but was purely made of a stack of crystal clear ice rocks. Within the main hall, hundreds of beautifully carved ice pillars covered with mysterious and strange patterns supported this large space.

At the back of the palace, on a tall ice platform, a strange dragon was lying down on it, sensing the appearance of unfamiliar air, before it lazily raised its head and surveyed the crowd.

The Ice Giant Dragon....

So this is the so-called Ice Dragon!
