Chapter 35 - Chapter 34: Cocytus's Ice Dragon Guardian Legion

With Harmon's appearance, its roar served as a summons, and countless massive icebergs erupted from the ground, revealing figures trapped within the ice.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The icebergs shattered, and the ice-attribute dragons slumbering inside awoke, led by four possessing the strongest ice.

"ROOOOAR!!!" Its body was composed of pure white ice and snow, with a serpentine, elongated torso, a rugged jaw of ice crystals, and what seemed like tiny flames burning within it, resembling dark scales. Its claws were like white shields, and its tail was covered in countless icicles serving as stingers.

[Dragon Ancestor of the Ice Spirit Mountain, Spear Dragon] (Level: 10 / Attribute: Water / Race: Dragon / ATK: 3300 / DEF: 2700)

"ROOOOAR!!!" Its body was constructed from deep blue and pure white ice and snow crystals. It was a three-headed dragon, with the left and right heads extending from behind its shoulders.

[Ice Barrier Dragon, Trishula] (Level: 9 / Attribute: Water / Race: Dragon / ATK: 2700 / DEF: 2000)

"ROOOOAR!!!" This dragon resembled a griffon made of ice, with flickering firelight in its chest and mouth, adding a touch of beauty.

[Ice Barrier Dragon, Gungnir] (Level: 7 / Attribute: Water / Race: Dragon / ATK: 2500 / DEF: 1700)

"ROOOOAR!!!" Its form was like an Eastern Yinglong, but the horns on its head spread out like a hexagram. The white dragon head continuously spewed cold air, and its body and wings seemed composed of pale blue ice.

[Ice Barrier Dragon, Brionac] (Level: 6 / Attribute: Water / Race: Sea Serpent / ATK: 2300 / DEF: 1400)

"ROOOOAR!!!" This dragon was a Western-style unicorn dragon entirely made of cyan ice, but it had no eyes.

[Blue-Eyes White Ice Dragon] (Level: 8 / Attribute: Water / Race: Dragon / ATK: 3000 / DEF: 2500)

"ROOOOAR!!!" Resembling a dinosaur clad in ice armor, it had heterochromatic eyes, one red and one blue. Four ice pillars behind it formed an "X" shape, like a snowflake pattern.

[Heterochromia Zero Dragon] (Rank: 7 / Attribute: Water / Race: Dragon / ATK: 2800 / DEF: 2500)

"ROOOOAR!!!" Compared to the previous dragons, this one had a more honest and cute appearance—an Eastern divine dragon with red pupils, six claws on its belly, and small wings on its back.

[Snow Dust Dragon] (Level: 8 / Attribute: Water / Race: Dragon / ATK: 2800 / DEF: 1800)

"ROOOOAR!!!" Its body was composed of glittering gray and white crystals, like a winged serpent, with a tail that was a sharp trident.

[Icejade King Creation, King of Nidhogg] (Level: 9 / Attribute: Water / Race: Wyrm / ATK: 2100 / DEF: 2600)

"ROOOOAR!!!" A dragon with black skin and red patterns wore glittering ice armor. The wings behind it were like light wings made entirely of ice. White mane mixed with a bit of red fluttered on its head. Beside it floated a massive ice sword blending purple and blue, with ominous red patterns on the blade.

[Icejade Dragon, Illusory Ice Dragon] (Level: 8 / Attribute: Dark / Race: Wyrm / ATK: 3000 / DEF: 2500)

"ROOOOAR!!!" A dragon resembling a giant fish from the sea, its entire body made of ice and clad in ornate white armor trimmed with gold.

[Icejade God, Moulinglacia] (Level: 8 / Attribute: Water / Race: Sea Serpent / ATK: 2800 / DEF: 2200)

"ROOOOAR!!!" Its body was mostly ice with a small portion of rock—a robust, bipedal Western dragon with fierce red glowing eyes and a luminous green circular energy core in its chest.

[Earthbound Servant Geo Gremlin, Iocane Ice Spirit] (Level: 8 / Attribute: Earth / Race: Aqua / ATK: 2600 / DEF: 2500)

"ROOOOAR!!!" Like a slender dragon-snake made of ice, with countless tiny ice spikes protruding from its back and head, its massive mouth exhaling cold air.

[Death Ice Pillar Hippocampus] (Level: 7 / Attribute: Water / Race: Sea Serpent / ATK: 1000 / DEF: 2600)

When all the ice dragons broke free from the ice, the coldness of Cocytus instantly intensified by several degrees. The leader of the ice dragon legion, Spear Dragon, lowered its head to look at Issei Hyoudou and the others, its eyes flashing with a terrifying light as it spoke:

"The winter night's folly is over. There is no audience for you."

Issei Hyoudou and Vali looked at the legion of twelve ice dragons before them, their mouths twitching and faces paling as they said:

"Wait, why are there so many ice dragons here?"

Syllphid, stepping on Kokabiel's head, smiled and said, "Because this is the Final Hell, the largest of all hells. Moreover, there are many unstable and short-tempered elements here, so Cocytus has the most Guardian Dragons of any hell."

Boom! Boom!

At that moment, one red and one white Western dragon appeared before Issei Hyoudou and Vali.

"Ddraig!!"

"Albion!!"

Issei Hyoudou and Vali exclaimed in surprise, for appearing before them were the Red Dragon Emperor, E Ddraig Goch, and the White Dragon Emperor, Albion Gwiber, who resided within their Longinus, [boosted gear] and [Divine Dividing]. Although they had recently gained the ability to materialize using magic power, they never expected them to personally emerge from the Longinus.

Ddraig snorted a breath of fire from his nostrils, but it was immediately extinguished by the cold air here. He looked at the ice dragon legion before him and said:

"Leave these ice dragons to us. We couldn't bear to watch from inside the Longinus any longer."

"Indeed. Even Kuh-Vah-Hah could contribute somewhat, so we must as well," Albion chimed in from the side.

With those words, Ddraig and Albion charged at the ice dragon legion before them. Ddraig spewed his strongest dragon flame at Spear Dragon. Spear Dragon showed a disdainful smile, then spewed a fierce blizzard from its mouth.

The blizzard froze the dragon flame along with Ddraig. The frozen Ddraig first blinked stupidly, then tilted backward and fell onto the icy plain.

"What?! Not just the dragon flame, but even Ddraig is frozen!!" Albion exclaimed in shock, watching Ddraig fall as an ice block. As Ddraig's old rival, he naturally knew the terror of Ddraig's dragon flame.

But what Albion didn't expect was that Spear Dragon had frozen Ddraig and his flame together with just one blast of its blizzard breath.

"Albion, your life is forfeit!!" Gungnir also quickly rushed forward. Before Albion could react, he was pounced to the ground by Gungnir.

"You griffon dragon...!!" Albion roared at Gungnir, trying to spew potent poison at it, but his head was immediately frozen by the cold air exhaled by Gungnir. Forget spewing poison, even speaking became difficult.

Then, Gungnir bared its icy claws and proceeded to 'entertain' Albion with gusto.

Meanwhile, Spear Dragon used its arm, like a white shield, to attack Ddraig. As the ice on Ddraig continuously cracked and fell, the impact damage Ddraig suffered grew more severe. The frozen Ddraig's face was a mask of agony.

"Ddraig (Albion)!! Come back quickly!!" Seeing this situation, Issei and Vali hurriedly recalled their partners into their Longinus.
