Chapter 692: Chapter 690: Anger Chapter 692: Chapter 690: Anger A great battle ended with the Giant Troll Clan paying the price of three Snow Giant Kings and one Frost Titan.

The humans of the Dragon Sleep Continent triumphed completely.

The Amber Council spread the news, and the thundering broadcasts of various nations repeatedly played, greatly boosting the morale of humanity, which had fallen after the Snow Soul Sacrifice battle.

When ordinary people encountered the phantoms of Giant Trolls again, they no longer feared the ferocious creatures but instead began to mock boldly, making gestures of beheading and throat-slitting at the troll illusions, taunting them across the air.

“The Eternal Seven Elders are still thawing, which means they won’t be leaving the Eternal Frost Star for a while.”

In the meeting hall of the City of Amber.

His Majesty Russell shared the intelligence he had gathered with the councilors, “The Eternal Five New has now become the Eternal Four New and is no longer to be feared. The Snow Giants have been extensively melted down, so the Frost Snow Giants have lost their meat shield.”

Between the lines.

The meaning was only one; the situation of offense and defense had reversed.

“The ordinary Giant Trolls of the Frost Star Hundred Divisions are not to be feared, and all the Frost Giants and Snow Trolls are concentrated on the Eternal Frost Star. We must now immediately breach the interspatial portal and counterattack the Eternal Frost Star, exterminating the main force of the trolls.”

“Your Majesty Russell, have you found a way to breach the interspatial portal?”

“Yes, in Gu Xin’s brain, there happens to be a method to traverse the interspatial portal, and I discussed it with the Great Scholar Roundtable Association before the meeting began. The grand scholars are now verifying this method.”

While the Great Scholar Roundtable Association still needed time to research this method.

Russell proposed in the Amber Council, “At this stage, we must try to break the defense of the Shattered Sea and strike at the very body of the Eternal Frost Star. The Black Maelstrom Ocean beneath the Dragon Star has the same defensive mechanism as the Shattered Sea…”

If one couldn’t navigate freely through the Black Maelstrom Ocean, then it would be impossible to cross the Shattered Sea and attack the body of the Eternal Frost Star.

So this was a mission that had to be attempted.

The proposal was unanimously agreed upon.

Preparations were quickly made to conduct contact experiments with the Black Maelstrom Ocean near the fissure by the Blizzard Volcano Oasis. This fissure was the largest and overlapped partially with the Shattered Sea of Frost Star, allowing for monitoring of the Eternal Frost Star.

Whoosh.

Russell transported to the Blizzard Volcano.

He immediately saw the head of the Blizzard Dragon bobbing on the icy water, huffing and speaking in Magic Power Dragon language. Opposite it was Russell’s Knight Commander Katie, earnestly communicating with the Blizzard Dragon.

“Your Majesty!” Upon seeing Russell, Katie immediately thumped her chest in salute.

The Blizzard Dragon too greeted Russell with a light hum.

“What are you doing?” Russell squinted his eyes, sensing that this scene contained subtle nuances.

Katie replied, “I am reviewing Dragon language with His Grace the Blizzard Dragon.”

She had learned Dragon language for a while in the Shadowflame Volcano, and as one of Russell’s few close confidantes who required patient cultivation,

Initially, she was trained as a reserve Volcanic Minister, but after Russell’s contract with the Shadowflame Dragon, there was no longer a need for a Volcanic Minister to relay messages. Hence, Katie’s study of Dragon language had stopped halfway.

Now, there was a perfect opportunity to continue learning from the Blizzard Dragon.

“Very good, learning leads to progress,” Russell said with a slight smile, then turned to the Blizzard Dragon, “How have you recovered these past few days?”

“Very well, I’ve received some replenishment from the Snow Soul Power, and my body has fully recovered,” the Blizzard Dragon responded happily. In the final allocation scheme, by leveraging volcanic force to assist in suppression, it had received a piece of Gu Xin’s corpse.

Just that small bit of Frost Titan corpse was enough to completely replenish its drained body.

“That’s good to hear,” Russell nodded.

Without staying much longer, after giving Katie an encouraging look, he hurried off to the previously mentioned fissure.

This fissure was named Snow Annihilation Shattered Sea.

The name Shattered Sea naturally came from the Shattered Sea of the Shattered Frost Star; as for the name Snow Annihilation, it was to commemorate the battle that completely erased the Eternal Three Snows.

Soon after, Dragon Knights such as Russell, Elden Cyclowall, and Cambiño Mountainfire appeared at the edge of the rift in the Snow Annihilation Shattered Sea.

“Let’s go and explore what lies beneath!” Russell, riding the Shadowflame Dragon, took the lead flying toward the heart of the Black Maelstrom Ocean within the deep rift, which was expanding day by day. If viewed from high above, the Dragon Sleep Continent was also fracturing.

Landing deep into the rift, everyone immediately felt the dangerous aura emanating from the Black Maelstrom Ocean.

“Your Majesty Russell, how do you propose we start to make an attempt?” Duke Elden asked with lingering fear. When the Black Maelstrom Ocean was first discovered, he and the Solid Wall Giant Dragon tried to dive in for a swim only to nearly dissolve within it.

“The method of the Giant Troll Clan to enter and exit the Shattered Sea is to merge with it, allowing their own strength to become a part of the sea,” Russell said. “We will try the same. The Black Maelstrom Ocean is filled with violent Magic Power, so let our Magic Power become violent as well!”

Immediately after,

he and the Shadowflame Dragon initiated an elemental forging, transforming into a dark red Dragon Knight, and dove headfirst into the Black Maelstrom Ocean.

The Fire element was, in essence, an effervescent state of Magic Power.

It shared an uncanny similarity in form with the violent Magic Power in the Black Maelstrom Ocean, but lacked its corrosiveness.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Black Maelstrom Ocean wasn’t actual seawater; experiencing it firsthand was more like a dense fog. As soon as they flew into it, Russell acutely felt the Fire element of himself and the Shadowflame Dragon being eroded and dissolved in large amounts.

“Shadowflame, let the Fire element rage!”

“Shadowflame lacks anger!”

“Think of the past, when you and Quentin III were brutally killed and beaten by Snow Giant Da, your bodies nearly gutted!” Russell gazed at the surrounding black mist, continuously guiding the emotions of the Shadowflame Dragon, “Think of the hope stolen from you by the Torrential Flood Dragon!”

“Huhu…” The rage of the Shadowflame Dragon was obviously stirred.

But the anger soon dissipated into nothingness, as the Shadowflame Dragon shook its head persistently: “No, these past tragedies indeed caused Shadowflame’s anger to boil over, but now… Shadowflame’s power is so abundant it overflows, and hope is right before us, there’s really…”

Connected by the soul.

Russell even sensed that not only did Shadowflame Dragon’s anger dissipate, but its mood was now excellent, wanting to sing a song.

“Uh…”

He was at a loss for words. Far from arousing the Shadowflame Dragon’s fury, the remembrance of painful memories had sweetened its mood, making it even happier.

And more aware of the happiness of life at that moment.

“Shadowflame can no longer feel anger, Russell. It’s time for you to feel the anger; Shadowflame is handing control over to you!”

“No good, I don’t have anything to be angry about either,” Russell tried for a while and then decisively gave up.

Previously, he held anger toward Shuang Da, but after Shuang Da capitulated, all enmities were truly resolved. Now he was the leader of humankind, an Ancient Giant Dragon Knight, already blowing the horn for a counteroffensive against Frost Star.

The situation was great; both he and the Shadowflame Dragon wanted to sing out loud.

Shaking his head vigorously, Russell shouted in the black mist: “This won’t do, Shadowflame. We need to become angry, to get the Fire element boiling, to resist the corrosion of the Black Maelstrom Ocean… Our elemental bodies have already been partially dissolved.”

“Shadowflame, powerless!” responded the Shadowflame Dragon.

“I’ve got it!”

A flash of inspiration struck Russell, and with an upward curve on his lips, he spoke in his mind: “Shadowflame, you… you rank below Ice Cream!”

“Hmm?” The Shadowflame Dragon paused for a moment, the mood to sing plummeting into an abyss. In the next instant, endless rage surged from deep within it, “Ice Cream! Shadowflame ranked below Ice Cream, yes, that’s it, Shadowflame is beneath Ice Cream!”

Boom!

The surging boiling power of the Fire element erupted from the dark red Dragon Knight, swiftly clearing the surrounding black mist.

The rot of the Black Maelstrom Ocean could no longer harm Russell and the Shadowflame Dragon.

“Just like that, Shadowflame, maintain your rage, remember, you will forever be beneath Ice Cream!” Russell continued to guide the emotions of the Shadowflame Dragon, then, piloting the Shadowflame Dragon and breathing fire, roared toward the depths of the Black Maelstrom Ocean.
