Large blue eyes carved into the creature's spiky angular skull stare at the group and each of it's members, sending dread into their bones. With two large crystals going through the back of it's head above it's large drawn-back ears.
Several crystals of ice traveling down it's short neck throughout it's back all the way to it's long thick tail. A large body which was nearly ten times the size of all the adventurers there.
It was a dragon. Nothing like a wyvern. It was bigger, stronger, and much more intimidating.
As the being laid right in front of their eyes, they could feel the dense air and the dread in their bones making it harder and harder to breathe, much less move.
Hexo's eyes were opened wide and a nervous smile could be seen on his face as he muttered "Finally…"
For a moment, everything seemed normal, the dragon did nothing but observe, but suddenly, everything took a turn when the dragon move it's neck back and let out a loud roar.
*ROAAAAAAAAAARRR!*
The roar was paralyzing, being so loud they felt like it was piercing the insides of their ears. They found their bodies failing to respond as they tried to move their hands to cover their ears when suddenly.
-
All the sound disappeared. For a moment, they thought they had gone death, but they found out that wasn't the case when Hexo asked
"What… What's this field around us?"
It was an invisible field, no one could see it, not even Hexo, but he could feel it. The young man quickly turned to Hexo upon hearing that. Hexo was the first person to be able to see His Silenced field.
However, he quickly turned back to the dragon as they had bigger things to worry about.
The dragon closed it's mouth and stopped the howl before looking at the group of adventurers once more.
'Hm…? A group of mere humans dare disturb my sleep?' Said The voice
The voice resounded on the inside of their minds, completely ignoring the silenced field's properties.
It was the voice of the Dragon. The Adventurers were all surprised when they heard it, they had heard about Dragon's being able to communicate, but nothing about mind-speaking.
The Guild Master was the first to speak, he saw this as an opportunity to avoid It's wrath.
"Great one, we have not come to fight, and we apologies for disturbing your sleep. However, we must ask that you leave this mountain… The blizzard's rampage has increased, and there is risk of the village facing your wrath…" Said The Guild Master Nervously
'Leave? You want me to Leave? A mere human, dares ask me to leave my home?!'
In that instant, Several Ice Crystals were formed in the air above them. It nearly filled the room. Following that, the Dragon opened it's mouth to display a glowing blue ray coming from inside. It was charging up an attack.
They looked around but there was no where to run, they were no longer in the halls of the cave but now inside of a giant rocky frozen room with Ice crystals and rocks lying around everywhere. It seems they had reached the end of the cave.
"Stick to the plan!" The Guild Master Shouted
In that instant, they all split up.
Hexo, suddenly started to chant before circling the dragon, He ran right around it from the left, towards it's back. The dragon saw this and swung it's tail at him but he managed to avoid it in the last second by jumping over it.
However, before he could land, as if it were some sort of whip, it's tail went straight at him again, hitting him causing him to go flying towards the wall, interrupting his chant in the process.
The cloaked girl went through the right, and also tried the option of circling it. However, right after the Dragon had dealt with Hexo, it's tail went straight to her.
She easily dodged the tail as it hastily swung it at her. She then jumped in closer to stab it, when she noticed the edges of her dagger turn into ice.
She quickly pulled back and threw knives towards it's side, but right before there was contact, the knives froze before shattering as it made contact with the dragon's body.
The room then lit up as a giant fireball the size of the Dragon was suddenly formed in front of it. It then unleashed, it's beam which it had charged up straight at the magician beneath it.
It was a blue beam as blue as ice, it froze anything it came into contact with. The magician couldn't move, but she wasn't worried. That was because of the Guild Master was with her, His build was Offensive Tank.
Right before the Beam hit Her, a large Iron Shield was formed out of thin air, in front of them as the earth rose to form another layer of barricade aside from the shield.
The beam froze the earth wall before breaking it into pieces, and as it began to freeze the shield. The girl suddenly, propelled, the fireball straight at it, causing it to change the direction of it's beam up towards the Fireball.
It quickly pierced through the Fireball, freezing it as it did so, but that was only a distraction. Hexo and the Cloaked girl suddenly jumped towards the Dragon from behind.
However, the Dragon Reacted and out of nowhere, Ice Crystals were formed out of thin air together forming an Ice Shield made purely out of the Crystals.
Hexo was in front of the Girl, his gauntlets lit up in raging hot fiery flames As he sent a fist straight ahead at the shield breaking it in the process. The impact however caused him to go flying back.
However, right before he did, he grabbed the cloaked girl before throwing her threw the gap he created in it's defense.
"Be quick!" Hexo shouted
It was up to the Cloaked Girl to risk her life and attack it at close Range. When she got through she pulled out her dagger before thrusting it down at the Dragon's Skin.
It was freezing cold, because she stood on it, with each instant that passed, ice slowly traveled through her feet to her legs.
On contact however, the dagger didn't pierce it's skin and instead was pushed back. The Dragon seeing this, quickly swung it's tail towards her, but before it could make it. It's tail suddenly froze still in place.
"Sacred Treasure Art: Toxicus Venenum" She muttered as she thrust down once more.
This time she managed to pierce just a part of it's skin, causing it to turn slightly purple. She then jumped away back through the same area she had entered as it seemed to be the only opening the dragon had, the rest of the Areas, such as the side, would freeze whatever got close, it's back however was defenseless.
Infuriated, the dragon let out another roar, before the crystals in the air, were all propelled straight down at everything around it.
There were too many, none of the adventurers had any way of being able to defend from it, except for the Guild Master. All they could do was dodge.
The Guild Master Created Another Shield Above his and the Magician's head before shouting.
"INCOMING!!!"
Right as he said that, mountains of ice crystals began to rain down on the adventurers, targeting each and everyone on of them.
Hexo, struggled to avoid them, getting grazed ever so slightly as he moved to the left and right while tilting his body. However the more time passed, the more ice began to spread from his robe.
The cloaked girl easily avoided it, but her feet were still partially frozen so her movements had slowed down, On top of that, her cloak slowly began to freeze up and spread the ice towards her.
The ones who dealt with the situation the best were The Guild-Master and the Magician, but the dragon quickly formed two large Ice crystals before propelling them straight at them.
The Guild-Master, tried putting up another shield and creating another earth wall, but he was to preoccupied from the attacks above, the shield in the air was hard to maintain.
'Shit-'
Right before it hit him however, the Ice Crystals broke. Not Just those ones, but all of them. The countless Ice crystals in the room, shattered, one after another. The Ice Dragon also let out a loud roar as it violently moved it's head around.
Then as it was distracted, the young man with his hand stretched forward, could be seen standing next to The Bright Sword who had his sword raised up in the air.
The young man seemed to have added an elemental Enchant to the bright sword's sword as it was engulfed in a blazing inferno pointed towards the Cave's ceiling.
The bright sword then leapt straight at the dragon and the flame began to glow a bright yellow light as he muttered the words
"Sacred Treasure Art: Divine Purification" He muttered
