Along the road, they went deep into the Frozen Dragon Castle.
It seemed that the castle was in all directions, but after several rounds of exploration, Andrew found that most of the passages were blocked because of collapse or ice.
The remaining several passages would eventually return to the corridor on the third floor.
In other words, there was only one way to go through this seemingly stretched castle.
The deeper they went, the stronger the stench in the air became.
‘There is no doubt that we are going deep into the lair of the fiend.’
The ceiling, walls, and ground were covered with a layer of brown mucus, like a mushroom blanket.
It was cold and wet, making it like the food of some creature.
“There is still no fiend ahead,”
Jo suddenly appeared out of nowhere and reported the situation to Andrew.
Everyone was at a loss.
The castle was very deep inside.
But so far, no fiend had shown up.
When was the final boss going to make a move?
“Ah!”
At this moment, Taylor, who was standing next to Andrew, suddenly screamed.
Everyone instantly entered the state of battle, but they still did not find any fiend.
“What’s wrong?” Andrew asked.
Taylor pointed at the door which was covered by a mushroom blanket with her trembling hand.
There was a hole in the door, through which twenty or thirty corpses could be seen.
Andrew frowned and kicked the door open.
And the scene in front of him was indeed surprising.
There were not twenty or thirty corpses at all.
However, there were nearly two hundred corpses piled up in the room of forty or fifty square meters..
Most of the flesh and blood were eaten up, leaving the frozen skeleton.
Some of them were not eaten up, and their flesh and blood rotted into the mud, mixed with other corpses.
A stinky smell came to his nose.
This scene was like purgatory.
Andrew patted Taylor on the shoulder and said coldly, “We’ve seen the corpse before. Don’t make a fuss.”
“But… But…”
Taylor was frightened.
Although corpses were very common, the room full of corpses was indeed too visual an impact.
Andrew left the room and put her palms together.
Ice butterfly.
Cold spear.
Malicious awl.
Mysterious ice probe.
Andrew used all the magic skills that could automatically find the enemy.
Then he used magic.
Ghostly ice thunder.
Heaven hidden thorn.
Ghostly cold illusion.
All of a sudden, the whole corridor was filled with the magic of ice.
The last ones were the Heaven-piercing spear, the flying ice sword of long-range, and the ice armor.
All the magic was released.
With the help of the intelligent wand, Andrew, whose magic power had reached 430, didn’t feel tired even if he used more than ten kinds of magic at a time.
Nason immediately understood what he meant. He pulled the bow towards his back, with three wind magic power arrows in his hands.
“What’s wrong?” Jo asked.
Andrew looked around warily and said, “Keep in line. They are coming.”
“What is coming?” Jo still didn’t understand, “I didn’t notice anything.”
At this moment, Taylor had already returned to her team. She pulled out the sword-shaped wand and shouted, “The number of fiends in the Frozen Dragon Castle is astonishing, but we haven’t noticed it yet.”
“It was illogical to connect the boss’s intelligence and strength.”
“Therefore, there was only one possibility that the fiends here were extremely good at hiding their auras.”
“So far, we haven’t seen any corpses, but there are so many corpses suddenly appearing here. It only proves one thing.”
Jo suddenly understood.
That only meant one thing.
Most of the explored mages were killed here.
This was the center of the trap.
Sure enough!
The next second, the ceiling was suddenly torn apart.
A large number of fiends fell from the sky like a flood.
The spacious corridor, which could accommodate four to five people walking side by side just now, was suddenly crowded with all kinds of strange fiends.
Andrew’s counterattack magic was activated in an instant.
Countless icy rays flashed.
The fiends falling from above were all cut and exploded.
The disgusting green and blue blood immediately spread all over everyone’s body.
However, even if they used all magic to attack their enemies automatically, the team could only guarantee that the thirty or forty fiends falling right above them would die.
The corridor was now filled with four hundred or five hundred fiends.
Were they outflanked?
Andrew was surprised.
Although it was expected, the number was too large!
The fiend was different from human beings.
The fiend didn’t talk nonsense.
The moment they landed on the ground, the fiends swarmed towards Andrew and the other three.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Accompanied by a violent explosion.
The fifty or sixty fiends closest to the team were instantly exploded into meat paste and frozen to ice before they fell to the ground.
Andrew’s ice trap worked and killed all the nearest fiends.
It got two or three seconds to catch their breath.
But…
So little!
The magic of automatic enemy hunting and the magic of trap. ‘With the overall level of the fiends here, all the magic I set up can normally kill at least three hundred.’
However, only a hundred of them were killed.
Was it ice-resistant?
Living in such a cold environment, all the fiends here were very resistant to ice magic.
As a result, Andrew’s magic could only exert 1/3 of its power.
Andrew thought to himself.
While he was thinking, the tide of fiends had come from front and back.
“Don’t stand still! Fight back if you don’t want to be part of the corpse pile!”
Andrew shouted and released all the twenty ice swords around him.
At the same time, he put his palms together and started new magic.
Frost.
All of a sudden, the cold air, centered on Andrew, spread all over the corridor.
The mushroom blanket, which could not be frozen at a dozen degrees below zero, suddenly became smooth ice.
However, to their surprise, the speed at which the fiends pounced on them did not decrease too much. At most, they could only move at 20% of their speed.
Generally speaking, even if one could move, he could slow down the moving speed and sensitivity by at least seventy or eighty percent.
‘Damn it! Is it because of the resistance to ice?’
Although it was not completely useless, the effect of ice magic on these fiends had been weakened too much!
Meanwhile.
In the face of hundreds of fiends, sharp claws, and disgusting mouths, the team members also began to fight back with all their might.
Nason’s bow was shot at an astonishing speed like the Gatling. With the wind-water arrow magic power, the surging fiends fell down like the autumn wind cutting the wheat.
The two girls, Taylor and Jo, rushed forward to block the tide of fiends. Andrew kept using ice butterflies and ice flying swords to help them reduce the number of fiends.
But…
Even if everyone tried their best, the front line and the backline were constantly retreating.
Once the battle line returned to zero and there was no way back, the four would be instantly submerged by the tide of fiends.
There were too many fiends!
Andrew kept summoning new ice-flying swords.
However, the number of fiends was far more than that.
New fiends constantly gushed out from the ceiling in the distance.
Andrew and the other three could kill as many fiends as they wanted.
‘My magic power has been greatly reduced because of the ice resistance.’
Although Jo was also proficient in body refining, assassination, and force attack were two different classes of mages, it was impossible to assassinate mages face to face.
At the front line, it was almost Taylor who withstood 70% of the pressure alone.
He had expected that.
‘I have expected everything.’
But he didn’t expect that the boss would use the huge-crowd strategy.
This was the stupidest tactic.
Besides, this was a corridor, not a plain, which would limit the power of the huge-crowd strategy.
So Andrew had ruled it out from the very beginning.
Because of the intelligence shown by the boss so far, he couldn’t use such a stupid strategy.
However, the boss used such a stupid strategy.
It was just because he didn’t expect that, it had obtained astonishing results.
‘Boss is more stupid than I thought?’
No!
‘It should be smarter than I thought.’
‘It’s a huge-crowd strategy. It’s a dead-end in my mind.’
Thinking about it carefully, for the boss, the life of the fiend was worthless, and the corpse itself could be used as food. In addition, with the new food made by humans, as long as they died today, it wouldn’t be long before they could reproduce.
It was impossible to kill all these fiends!
“Andrew! I can’t hold on any longer!”
Nason asked anxiously.
He was so close to Andrew that his back almost touched Andrew’s.
Damn it!
“If it goes on like this, we can’t hold on for a minute!”
“We had to find a way to retreat first and reorganize our formation.”
In a moment of desperation, Andrew suddenly came up with an idea. He looked down at the ceiling.
There was a way!
“Taylor, Jo! Come to me!”
Andrew put his palms together immediately.
Frozen dragon bite
After condensing an ice cage hand, Andrew hit the floor with his fist.
