Outside the City of Extreme Cold, amidst the vast snowstorm.
The brilliance of spells became increasingly intense and dazzling, the profound chanting of high-level spellcasters almost echoing throughout the entire Frost Giant city.
Spell runes fell from around Kriechens, then became ethereal and transparent in the air, disappearing into the sky above the Giant City.
Though these spell runes vanished from the view of the Frost Giants, what followed was a terrifying and heart-palpitating sense of dangerous heat rapidly brewing above the City of Extreme Cold.
As arch-enemies of true dragons, Frost Giants were undoubtedly very powerful magical creatures.
They could sense changes in elemental energy and see elemental glows to some extent.
With the dazzling light of high-level spells, even ordinary people could vaguely see something, let alone these Frost Giants.
Faced with the construction of high-level spells, the Frost Giants hastily deployed various defensive abilities. When they looked up, a sky of fiery red elemental glow met their eyes.
Like a red cloud, beautiful yet deadly and dangerous.
Seconds later, Kriechens uttered the last syllable, and the obscure and profound chanting abruptly ceased.
A cloud composed almost entirely of fire elements appeared above the City of Extreme Cold.
Eighth-level spell: Cloud of Fire! At the same moment Kriechens completed the Cloud of Fire, Fred also successfully cast a high-level spell.
A giant, over ten meters tall flame humanoid appeared in front of Fred, its body covered in rolling flames and thick smoke, with a pair of narrow, sharp, fiery eyes faintly visible.
Seventh-level transmutation spell: Infernal Flame Demon.
As experienced high-level spellcasters, Kriechens and Fred both chose fire-based high-level spells against Frost Giants.
Although fire elements were scarce in the Northern Ice Plain, making such spells somewhat troublesome to cast, it wasn't too difficult for them as long as they expended more magical power.
The next moment, under the control of the two high-level spellcasters, the highly destructive spells were simultaneously activated.
Hissing sounds echoed as droplets of scorching fire fell from the rolling cloud of fire, rapidly plummeting towards the ground in a dense shower, resembling a downpour made of flames.
The hot droplets, upon contact with the cold air of the Northern Ice Plain, reacted and produced a large amount of white steam, hissing loudly.
The Infernal Flame Demon, purely composed of flames, roared and dove towards the City of Extreme Cold with rolling flames, signaling death.
Inside the City of Extreme Cold, a group of Frost Giants conjured ice crystal shields in front of them, constantly emitting wisps of cold air, then huddled behind the shields, hoping they could withstand the onslaught.
Then, the droplets from the cloud of fire fell, densely packed like a heavy rain.
The first to be hit was an ice crystal shield held by a Frost Giant standing on the city wall.
Boom! Every tiny droplet that landed on the shield exploded into a fist-sized ball of scorching flame, the high temperature and powerful explosion causing the Frost Giant to tremble uncontrollably.
Due to the dense concentration of droplets, there was no way to evade. Under such an attack, the thick ice crystal shield, like a wall, was quickly riddled with holes from the burning and bombing.
In just two seconds, the shield shattered into debris.
The droplets, having lost their containment, landed on the Frost Giants, instantly blossoming into flowers of flame, wrapping the howling Frost Giants in fire, licking and burning them continuously.
This scene occurred to all Frost Giants within the range of the Cloud of Fire spell.
Though the individual damage of Cloud of Fire wasn't very strong, its range was wide.
The City of Extreme Cold, originally gray-white in color, now had large areas engulfed in a sea of flames, with numerous Frost Giants howling and rolling in pain, severely injured but not immediately dead.
As for their slaves, the trolls, who were very afraid of fire, were already burned to ashes, while the ogres were barely clinging to life.
Meanwhile, the Infernal Flame Demon howled as it arrived, its body nearly twice the height of an adult Frost Giant, striking like a hurricane directly at the Frost Giants.
Boom! The flames composing the Infernal Flame Demon's body were terrifying, instantly turning the touched Frost Giants into bright burning torches, rapidly reducing them to ashes.
Wrapped in the glow of spells, Kriechens and Fred continuously released magical power, maintaining the operation of the spells.
Garon, watching the City of Extreme Cold quickly swallowed by flames under the attack of the two high-level spellcasters, saw the reflection of howling giants in his eyes.
"The destructive and lethal power of high-level spells is still unparalleled."
Garon's gaze shifted.
His mastery of time abilities was powerful and mysterious, but in terms of physical destructiveness, it wasn't necessarily much stronger than other spells.
During the previous war on the Baki Plains, he had witnessed the scene of high-level spells clashing, enough to make the earth tremble and the sky wail.
Seeing it again, he was still amazed.
At the same time, Garon suddenly turned his head, withdrawing his gaze from the area turned into a sea of fire, looking towards the very grand and huge fortress-like building at the center of the Giant City.
Boom! The tightly closed giant iron doors were violently forced apart, emitting a dull, thunderous sound.
"Come to my City of Extreme Cold, and none shall leave!"
A roar, like thunder rumbling among clouds, sounded.
Then, a towering black giant, eighteen meters tall, strode out from the iron gates.
Its legs bent, muscles like forged steel bulging under its rough black skin, then suddenly exerted force.
Boom! The ground cracked, a ten-meter-wide deep pit formed from the impact.
The black giant leaped, each jump reaching hundreds of meters into the air, each landing shaking the earth violently.
Its body was massive, but its speed was extremely fast, reaching the southern part of the City of Extreme Cold, the area currently being ravaged by high-level spells, in just a few breaths.
Behind Balton, another Dark Frost Giant, twelve meters tall, followed, along with many robust adult Frost Giants, continuously heading south from other parts of the Giant City.
The earth trembled and moaned under the trampling of so many giants.
Boom! The black silhouette landed on the city wall.
Balton's brows furrowed, his facial movements causing the scars on his face to twist slightly, adding a fierce and formidable presence.
The city walls, burning with flames, saw their cold, hard stones gradually melting.
However, the raging flames receded upon encountering Balton, countered and nullified by the cold aura unconsciously emanating from his body, unable to burn his skin.
Balton looked up at the dragons and spellcasters hovering in the sky.
Then looked down at the front.
The fierce wolf pack rushed and howled, kicking up rolling snow waves, now approaching the City of Extreme Cold, drool dripping from their sharp teeth, with deep growls and howls echoing.
"Hmph!"
Balton huffed heavily, raising his right hand, then forcefully slapped it down.
As he raised his arm, black and ice-blue lights twined around his palm, violently changing with his movement.
The next moment, a giant black palm
Chapter 167: Dragons and Giants (Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Then looked down at the front.
The fierce wolf pack rushed and howled, kicking up rolling snow waves, now approaching the City of Extreme Cold, drool dripping from their sharp teeth, with deep growls and howls echoing.
"Hmph!"
Balton huffed heavily, raising his right hand, then forcefully slapped it down.
As he raised his arm, black and ice-blue lights twined around his palm, violently changing with his movement.
The next moment, a giant black palm
slapped down on the air.
Boom! A ring of icy cold airwaves erupted.
Centered on Balton, it spread in all directions.
Wherever it passed, the icy and dark evil airwaves extinguished the surrounding flames.
The Infernal Flame Demon, ravaging below, became stiff as the icy airwave swept over, its magic power dissipating greatly, its body becoming much more transparent and ethereal.
Hiss! A dark beam struck from the hand of another Dark Guard, shattering the ethereal Infernal Flame Demon.
Fred grunted, his internal magic power disturbed for a moment, his complexion paling slightly, but he was not seriously harmed.
At this moment, the flames that had engulfed the City of Extreme Cold were dispersed, revealing scorched earth and a landscape of ash and carcasses.
However, most of those ash carcasses were not Frost Giants but trolls and ogres.
With the strength of Frost Giants, the wide-ranging spell Cloud of Fire was not enough to kill them in such a short time.
Most Frost Giants were severely injured, their bodies charred, burned to a crisp, emitting thick smoke as the remaining high temperatures met the cold air, the dead ones being those hit by the Infernal Flame Demon's individual attacks.
And Cloud of Fire continued, with fire droplets continuously falling, hissing as they landed on Balton's skin.
From the slight tremble on his face, it was evident that the Cloud of Fire's droplets could cause him some damage, but without even defending, that damage was clearly minimal.
He looked up at the Cloud of Fire hanging high in the sky, his right fist slowly contracting like a spring, with ice elements swirling around his fist as if attracted by an invisible force, gathering on his fist.
In an instant, his right fist swung out.
Boom! A blue column of light shot up into the sky, dazzling and bright, piercing through the Cloud of Fire, carrying a powerful impact that dispersed the Cloud of Fire spell.
Kriechens, evidently more experienced than Fred, realized something was wrong the moment it happened and immediately severed the mental link with the spell, stopping the infusion of magical power, preventing himself from being implicated and injured.
"Legendary Frost Giant, sir, we are no match."
After Balton appeared, with swift and thunderous methods, he successively broke the spells of the two high-level spellcasters.
Kriechens and Fred, not ones to overestimate their abilities, knowing they lacked the capacity to battle a legend, immediately communicated this to Garon.
Meanwhile, Balton's body emitted waves of evil aura, like waves of black mist sweeping across the City of Extreme Cold.
