Dragon King's Harem Chapter 92. Hundreds of Armours and The White Forest IV
Spontaneously, we turned around and expected the worst. Although we preferred our guesses wrong... Unfortunately, we were right. As the ground below us shook, a huge Drake that was almost the size of two commercial aeroplanes lifted his body and head between the deadly trees. His body was covered in thick white armour. Sharp spikes covered his tail and back to the top of his head. The snow that covered him fell. It made him look like a giant lizard wearing ice armour. That armour was what protected him from the surrounding trees.
The clink sounds of thorns that flew from the trees echoed into the sky, but not a single one of them had managed to penetrate his body. His armour was enough to brush off all of them without a single move. Nonchalantly, The Ice Drake raised his head higher lazily and yawned widely. His eyes were still half-closed due to his sleepiness.
"Run..." I muttered. Then I shifted my gaze forward.
"Now!" I ordered in a louder voice as I kicked the side of my Yegaun. Ice Drake only woke up for two reasons, eating and mating. He was not interested in the others. Since there was no female Drake here, I was sure he woke up because of hunger.
We spurred our mounts fast without waiting for The Drake to get his full consciousness and hoping we could find a hideout or something before he noticed our presence. Ice Drake was a unique monster. They could eat anything. Either plants or meat, but of course, they preferred meat. Since we were the only meat available around here so we were in danger.
I pointed at the rocky snow terrain that was 500 meters from us, indicating we would use that place to hide but as I glanced at The Drake, I saw he was sweeping his gaze around his surroundings, looking for food to fill his hungry stomach. It was only a matter of time, he would notice our presence before we could reach the rocks. So I decided to take action.
'Blazing Orb!'
Dozens of my fire orbs appeared around me. Without a pause, I moved my hand in the opposite direction of our destination, launching the orbs on the empty snowfield as far as I could.
Explosions accompanied by the hissing sound of melting ice echoed as my orbs landed on the snowfield. Thick steam mixed with smoke rose into the sky and it was more than enough to attract The Drake's attention.
"Graaaahhhh!!!!" he roared since he thought he had found his prey. I could see his sharp teeth in his mouth. I bet he hadn't eaten meat in a long time since he looked really happy after he found his food's location right after he opened his eyes.
As we made it to the snowy rocks, we hid behind them. To cover ourselves better, I used my Earth Spike skill to create some high wall to block his view to us.
Our eyes were watching The Ice Drake from a distance and prepared to attack if he noticed our presence. I could feel the tension and fear in my Yegaun clearly since he knew that monster was very dangerous. The Yegaun's eyes looked around in restlessness, but I calmed him down by patting the side of his face without taking my eyes off The Drake.
"Why don't we kill him?" Jyne's voice came from behind me, Her voice was low, it almost sounded like a whisper. With the Dragon King's power, I should be able to defeat him easily, even without my Dragon Form. But that only applied if I didn't lose my power. Well, even with my current state and level, I would fight him for the Dragon King's pride if I had to. Besides, I knew his weak points so I could think of something to beat him.
"The Ice Drake is a rare monster. His Majesty must not kill him and avoid fighting him as best as he can. He has a responsibility to ensure that all dragon species' existence," Evelina explained. Even though she knew Argod's condition didn't allow him to face a high-level monster like that drake, judging from Argod's habits, Evelina was pretty sure he avoided it because of his duty as a king, not because of fear.
Meanwhile, the loud rustling mingled with the loud stomping sounds rang out as The Drake cut through the white forest and stepped on the surrounding trees. Although his weakness was in his stomach, since he destroyed all the trees in front of him before they could attack his weak point, it was not a problem for him. In addition, the trees' roots couldn't penetrate his hard skin so they couldn't 'eat' him either.
But before he came out of the forest, he frowned. After he moved his head forward to get a better look, he tilted his head in confusion since he didn't find anything after the smoke cleared.
"Graahhhhh!!!" he roared in anger. At the same time, dozens of icy spikes appeared in his surroundings and hurtled toward where the smoke disappeared.
The Ice Spikes pierced the ground like dozens of daggers piercing flesh. His eyes scanned the place, waiting for his prey to come out of their hiding, yet there was nothing there. Feeling his attack was unsuccessful, he used his Ice Rage.
This time hundreds of ice spikes as high as 10 meters appeared from the ground from in front of where the Drake was standing towards that place, turning it into a horrific little ice garden. But, again nothing came out of it.
"Pffttt! He is strong but stupid," Jyne stifled her laugh and sneered in low voice. Well, the Drake wasn't an intelligent monster so he moved on his instinct. But that didn't mean we could underestimate him.
Again, The Drake roared in anger. Unlike before, his roar called dark clouds that engulfed the suns and turned the sky dark in mere seconds. The temperature around us dropped drastically. The wind was blowing hard and spinning wildly. The frightening loud whistle sounded all around us. The snow began to fall to accompany them. We quickly calmed our Yegauns since their voices and panic stomps could expose our presence. I quickly realized The Drake used the skill that made the guild knights die tragically. Cold Storm.
"Stay quiet. We have to prepare for the storm," I ordered in a low voice.
