Chapter 22: Sneak Attack!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although it was night time in the Northern Ice Fields, the ground did not seem dark. It was still a white world covered in silver.

Snowflakes and ice crystals reflected the starlight and moonlight, illuminating the Northern Ice Fields to be as beautiful as the day. Only some narrow ice valleys had thick darkness.

In the cold wind, two three-meter-tall humanoid creatures were quickly moving on the snow.

They were Uga Bone Crusher and the two-headed ogre.

The two-headed ogre held a black nail hammer in its right hand and a staff in its left hand as it ran forward like an armored car. its speed was completely different from its seemingly heavy body.

Beside it, Uga Bone Crusher ran at the same speed, turning into two black lines in the snow world.

Due to the fact that he was afraid the human mage would run far away and be difficult to find, the two-headed ogre only brought along the informant, Uga Bone Crusher, and applied the Quick Movement Technique, greatly increasing their movement speed.

Whoosh!

When he passed by a slightly raised snow surface, the snow exploded as if a cannonball was buried in it, and crystal clear snow pounced at the two-headed ogre.

The two-headed ogre’s eyes flashed fiercely. “You’re courting death!”

The black hammer in his right hand smashed out with violent strength and a whistling wind, hitting a beast that looked like a velociraptor that had sneaked over in the snow.

Bang!

The beast wailed and its body was sent flying like a tattered toy. Blood sprayed down and decorated the snow, forming a beautiful red and white pattern.

The two-headed ogre did not even look at it and continued to walk forward. Uga Bone Crusher secretly swallowed his saliva and followed closely behind.

During this period, some ignorant icefield creatures followed the momentum and launched sneak attacks. They were either smashed into meat paste by the black hammer or turned to ashes by spells. They only caused insignificant obstruction to the two-headed ogre.

Uga Bone Crusher saw the scene of the two-headed ogre displaying its might and felt a little nervous.

He was not very sure if Garen could defeat the two-headed ogre now.

However, if he wanted to be the leader, there was no other way.

The two-headed ogre was in its prime. After it aged, Uga would also be old. He could not wait for the day when the two-headed ogre’s strength weakened.

Seeing that the outline of the frozen lake had already vaguely appeared, Uga Bone Crusher suddenly recalled Garen’s last reminder before he left. His eyes darted around.

A few seconds later, Uga Bone Crusher broke the silent atmosphere of the journey and said to the two-headed ogre, “Leader, I see that your weapon seems to be very heavy. Do you need me to help you carry it?”

“If you encounter that human mage later, if your stamina is intact, you can definitely easily take him down.”

The two-headed ogre thought for a moment and agreed. It did not expect the ogre beside it to have ill intentions.

It handed the rather heavy black hammer to Uga Bone Crusher to carry, but the staff in its left hand had been clenched tightly.

Uga Bone Crusher took the initiative to reach out to help it, but it was rejected by a stern gaze. He was afraid that the two-headed ogre would see through it, so he did not dare to say anything else. He only carried the heavy black hammer and continued to follow the two-headed ogre.

After a while, the two ogres stepped into the range of the ice.

The two-headed ogre looked at the endless ice and frowned.

Uga Bone Crusher was behind it, carrying a black hammer, his eyes slightly stunned.

This was because in its vision, its surroundings were vast and there was no sign of any creature, let alone Garen’s relatively obvious dragon body.

The two-headed ogre did not know what Uga Bone Crusher was thinking. After hesitating for a moment, it stepped on the ice a few times before really moving forward but slowed down because the ice was too slippery.

Uga Bone Crusher followed beside it nervously.

Suddenly, the two-headed ogre’s low voice sounded in his ear, “How far are we from the place where you discovered the human mage?”

Uga Bone Crusher did not hesitate and said with an excuse that he had long prepared, “Cross the range of the frozen lake and walk for about a kilometer.”

The two-headed ogre nodded and did not ask anymore. It continued to walk on the ice.

At the same time, they did not discover that in the lake water below the ice, a dragon shadow surrounded by clouds that had fused with the lake water slowly moved 200 meters in front of the ogre’s path and waited quietly.

Garen’s gaze was calm and he did not move. Even his breathing stopped as if he was a lifeless dragon sculpture.

The moment the ogre stepped on the ice, he knew that the other party was here. Therefore, he was even more careful in restraining his aura and waiting for the most suitable opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

The flow of time seemed to have slowed down. The ogre approached the ice layer where Garen was step by step. Moreover, it was not too vigilant and did not realize that a dragon was ambushing here.

Garen was silent as he calculated the distance between him and the other party.

200 meters, 150 meters, 100 meters… 20 meters… 10 meters…

When he felt the ice tremble at close range, a dazzling platinum light bloomed in Garen’s dragon eyes. His entire body suddenly erupted, and the Dragon’s Might that could suppress the mind erupted fearlessly, penetrating the ice and covering the surrounding hundred meters.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Dense cracks instantly appeared on the ice.

The moment it moved, the two-headed ogre’s body that was affected by the Dragon’s Might froze. After regaining its senses, it was shocked and wanted to jump out of this shattered area.

However, it was already too late.

From the soul-stirring Dragon’s Might to the shattering of the ice, a pair of dazzling platinum dragon eyes appeared. The process only took a short moment.

Whoosh!

A large wave of Frost Dragon Breath surged out diagonally from below, mixed with shattered ice. Sharp ice cones enveloped the two-headed ogre like a white storm.

“Ambush!”

Garen had come prepared and was prepared. He heavily injured the two-headed ogre in one move and sealed it in ice.

The shocked expressions on those two heads were still vivid and lifelike in the ice crystals. The body was tattered and covered in wounds caused by ice cones.

Bang!

The ice layer shook violently. Garen’s entire body flew out from below and landed near the ice crystal.

The crystal clear water slid down his scales. The power of the dragon coming out of the water made Uga Bone Crusher dumbfounded.

Garen landed on the intact ice beside him and looked at the two-headed ogre sealed by the Frost Dragon Breath. He knew that the other party was still alive, so he opened his dragon mouth again and spat out the even more fatal Time Plundering Breath.

He had tried mixing the two dragon breaths, but it was difficult to achieve at the moment.

At the same time, bulging veins suddenly appeared on the two-headed ogre’s tattered skin. They were like black blood vessels that squirmed violently under its skin.

When the Time Plundering Breath was about to touch the ice crystal, with a bang, it suddenly exploded. A large amount of black fog stretched out at the same time, trying to drown Garen.
