Ashen Dragon

Kasa rampaged through the ranks, and Dolores actually stepped down personally to stand before him.

As a retainer with dragon blood flowing through his veins, this Dragon Vein Great Goblin stood a full four meters tall, his muscle-bound body covered in scales, making him appear as a giant before regular soldiers.

But in front of the robust Frost Giant Kasa, the Great Goblin's head reached barely to the Frost Giant's waist. The stark contrast made Dolores look more like a small dwarf.

Faced with such a formidable opponent, Dolores showed no fear and yelled sharply:

"Stupid Giant, I'm going to kill you!"

He then leapt up suddenly, raising the Bloodfire Battle Axe above his head and swung it straight down towards the Frost Giant's head.

"Clang!"

The crisp sound of metal striking metal rang out.

The Bloodfire Battle Axe and Winter's Roar clashed, sending out dazzling sparks.

Dolores had used all his strength, pouring every ounce of his energy into this strike, but Kasa merely lifted his battle axe with one arm, easily blocking the attack with the flat side of the axe.

"Such a weak and feeble attack—how dare you fight me!"

"Clang—"

Kasa's thick arm muscles bulged as he exerted force, flinging Dolores back more than ten meters.

Dolores rolled several times on the ground, feeling his arms go numb from the tremendous impact, rendering his whole body weak.

"What terrifying strength."

He used his battle axe to support himself, gritting his teeth as he climbed up from the ground.

However, he heard the whistling sound of the wind and the roar of the Giant above his head.

"Die, you worthless weakling!"

Kasa wouldn't give his enemy any chance to recover. He executed a massive leaping chop, with Winter's Roar carrying unstoppable force, accompanied by a howling gale, chopping straight towards Dolores's head.

—If this blow landed, Dolores's scale-covered sturdy body would definitely be split in two like paper.

Dolores stared at the approaching axe blade, his pupils widening, only managing to say two words:

"Save me!"

Just as the battle axe was about to land, an invisible force wall appeared in front of Dolores.

It was the Force Wall Technique.

The battle axe, carrying enormous power, struck the force wall, producing a rumbling noise that caused ripples in the nearby space.

Ramp stood nearby, raising his Magic Wand with his left hand, clutching the "Bennett's Wisdom" glowing with spell radiance at his chest with his right hand, his expression calm.

"Oh? A spell?"

"Haha, people who rely on external spells are too weak to be my opponents!"

Kasa grinned ferociously.

He leapt over the force wall with ease, directly stepping behind Dolores.

"Dolores, stall that Frost Giant!"

Ramp didn't hesitate to activate dozens of magic items all over his body, the spell radiance interweaving. One carefully prepared spell after another was released, infusing into the Dragon Vein Great Goblin.

Enlarge Spell, Acceleration Spell, Shield Spell, Protective Energy Damage, Bear's Resilience, Bull's Strength, Cat's Grace.

In just a few breaths, the Dragon Vein Great Goblin's form expanded to nearly eight meters tall, almost equal to the Frost Giant before him.

His body was enveloped under multiple layers of magical shields, the power of magic covering him entirely, significantly boosting all his attributes.

Dolores panted heavily, feeling the surging strength within his body. He excitedly roared:

"Damn it, Ramp, why didn't you use these earlier?"

"Stall him?"

"I feel like I can take him down now!"

Dolores let out a furious roar and rushed towards Kasa, swinging the Bloodfire Battle Axe, now like a hand axe, aiming it fiercely at the Frost Giant's massive head.

"Clang—"

The sound of clashing metal rang out again.

The battle axe was once again blocked by Winter's Roar, but this time Kasa needed both arms to handle it, and even then, he was slightly at a disadvantage in the stalemate.

Taking advantage of the deadlock, Ramp unleashed several scorching fireballs at the Frost Giant.

Advanced Fireball Spell

After years of modification, Ramp's elevated fireball spell had reached the fifth tier level. Not only did it gather the flames more powerfully than ordinary spells, but it also combined spell abilities to track and seek out targets within a certain range.

However, Kasa merely tilted his head slightly, effortlessly dodging the precise strike of the fireballs.

Yet his evasion caused his grip to slacken just a bit.

Dolores seized the opportunity, slashing horizontally with force, the Bloodfire Battle Axe slicing through the air straight towards the Frost Giant's head.

And Ramp's spell followed suit.

Slow Spell

The space around the Frost Giant distorted, making his movements incredibly slow.

Kasa quickly dodged backward, but under the spell's influence, he could not move entirely out of the way, the axe's blade cutting into his skin.

A narrow gash appeared on the right side of his cheek, with cold, dark blue blood trickling down.

"It's been a long time since I bled."

"Even though it was spell-enhanced, it was... interesting."

Kasa wiped the blood off his cheek haphazardly, his rugged face showing a sinister smile, his pupils full of fervent desire for battle.

"I will kill you all!"

...

"For the Ashen Kingdom!"

"Kill the enemies!"

"For Everfrost!"

As Dolores, Ramp, and the Frost Giant Chieftain fought fiercely, both sides' armies also engaged in a brutal struggle.

The Great Goblins poured bullets and shells madly at the Frost Giants, while the Frost Giants raised their beast bone shields, braving the dense fire as they charged forward. Once these massive beings broke into the ranks, they could easily crush dozens of soldiers.

But several Frost Giants fell on their way, their bodies covered in a dense array of bullet holes and shrapnel.

Ogre Heavy Armor Soldiers held the front lines of the Ashen Kingdom's formation. Though significantly shorter than their northern cousins, their bodies were fatter and sturdier, barely holding off the waves of Frost Giant cavalry charges.

Wildland Dragons clashed with Dragon Tundras, producing thunderous sounds. These mighty creatures finally met equals, but the Wildland Dragons affected by the Dragon Vein were often larger and could overpower their northern counterparts.

Chimeras, Wyverns, and other aerial units swooped repeatedly, turning the battlefield into a boiling sea of flames, using the intense blaze to stall the Frost Giants' advance.

But they couldn't avoid being struck down by the Frost Giants' thrown boulders or pulled from the sky by the leaping giants. Once on the ground, they were essentially sentenced to death.

In fact, a female Chimera was pinned to the ground by Baya. The Frost Giant Warrior, mimicking his brother, snapped the Chimera's three spines with his bare hands, earning cheers from the Frost Giant warriors.

"Baya!"

"Our warrior!"

"You are the little Bone Breaker!"

Soon, the smoke and scent of blood permeated the battlefield. Great Goblins, Ogres, Wyverns, and even Frost Giant corpses covered the wasteland. This cruel, evenly matched battle turned the weathered wilderness once again into a slaughterhouse.
