Grinding EXP From Fireball Skill

"What is that?"

"A Giant Dragon!?"

"Why is a Giant Dragon here?"

On the ground, the few people preparing to awaken the Ice Emperor were all stunned by the Holy Giant Dragon in the sky.

This was even more shocking than seeing the Ice Emperor itself.

The shock of seeing the Ice Emperor was merely from the surprise that such a massive creature still existed in the world.

The shock of seeing the Holy Giant Dragon, however, came from a species that was supposed to be extinct reappearing before their very eyes.

One was an unprecedented shock.

The other was a shock that defied all reason.

The leader, shrouded in a black coat, was the first to react, taking less than five seconds from the moment he saw the Holy Giant Dragon.

He quickly shouted, "Stop staring! Hurry up! They might be here to ruin the ritual."

The black-coated leader had long heard that the Ice Queen of the Ice and Snow City wanted to sabotage their plan.

The Ice Queen had her ways of obtaining their top-secret plans.

Naturally, he also had his ways of knowing what the Ice Queen was planning.

The two sides were sworn enemies.

Urged on by the black-coated leader’s loud shouts, the others quickly snapped out of it and sped up their work.

Li Wei stood on Saint Xi’s back, hidden from the view of the people below.

He looked down, his pupils transforming into golden vertical slits.

The Eyes of the Dragon.

With his powerful vision, Li Wei could clearly see what the group was doing on the ground, even from thousands of meters away.

He saw the lines of the Ritual Array they were carving into the ground.

Without turning his head, Li Wei said to Gu Sewei, "They’re still preparing the ritual to awaken the Ice Emperor. We still have time to stop them."

Gu Sewei was pleasantly surprised. "Ah, that’s wonderful!"

Her gaze sharpened. Although she couldn’t see the people clearly, her mind had already locked onto her enemies.

Gu Sewei raised her Frost Staff and said, "In that case, should we just use a large-scale Magic to destroy their Ritual Array?"

Li Wei nodded. "I’ll leave it to you, then."

There was almost no Fire Element here. For him to cast Fire Element Magic with the same power as he could outside, the consumption would be much greater.

In contrast, Gu Sewei’s Ice Magic was further enhanced in this place.

This was her home turf.

Gu Sewei began to cast an exceptionally powerful Ice Magic, one that forced her to use an incantation to assist her Casting.

"Ancient Elemental Spirits of Ice that wander the world, please heed my call..."

After a rather long incantation, Gu Sewei’s Frost Staff was filled with an immense Power that made even Li Wei’s heart tremble.

"Frozen World!"

This Magic had already reached the level of a Minor Forbidden Curse.

If released in a normal environment, it could instantly freeze an entire city, turning all its buildings, people, and objects into ice sculptures.

Here in the Extreme Cold Abyss, the power of Frozen World was amplified even further.

Li Wei felt as if this Power could destroy the entire ice cavern.

Frozen World didn’t just freeze things; after freezing living beings, it would also destroy their life force, killing them completely.

Even a Magic Array would be frozen by this Power.

To prevent the Ice Emperor from being awakened, Gu Sewei was giving it her all.

This was already the highest-level Magic she was capable of using.

Anything stronger would be a Forbidden Curse, a taboo Domain that a Tier Six Mage could not touch.

Li Wei couldn’t cast a Forbidden Curse either; he could only use various means to enhance his Magic’s power to a level comparable to one.

"Absolute Defense!"

HUM!

A golden light appeared in the ice cavern, forming a shield wall that blocked Gu Sewei’s Frozen World Magic.

Even a Magic at the level of a Minor Forbidden Curse couldn’t break through that golden shield wall.

Seeing that familiar golden light, Li Wei’s face filled with shock.

’Absolute Defense?’

He couldn’t quite believe it.

’This is Reina’s Extraordinary Trait, Absolute Defense.’

’The most powerful Knight Extraordinary Trait.’

’It’s said to be able to withstand an attack from a Forbidden Curse.’

’Reina?’

Li Wei stared in shock at the person who had cast Absolute Defense.

When he got a clear look at him, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief. It was a bearded, middle-aged man.

Not Reina.

’Good, it’s not Reina.’

’No, it couldn’t have been Reina in the first place.’

’How strong is Reina, anyway? There’s no way she could be here.’

Li Wei stared down at the bearded, middle-aged man who possessed the same Extraordinary Trait as Reina.

He began to ponder. ’His Power doesn’t seem to have reached the Legendary Level yet, but he must be close.’

’He might be a Tier Six Peak Knight, or maybe a Sub-Legendary Knight.’

Sub-Legendary referred to a Professional who had already stepped onto the Path of Legend but had not yet completed it to become a Legend.

Such a person was basically already at the Legendary Level.

It was only a matter of time.

However, the world was not short of Sub-Legendary Professionals who died without ever completing the Path of Legend to become Legendary Powerhouses.

Without becoming a Legend, their lifespans were limited to just over a hundred years at most.

If they couldn’t become a Legend before their lifespan ran out, they could only lie in their coffins with lifelong regret.

Therefore, most factions with a Sub-Legendary expert would be loath to send them out on missions.

They would only have them do everything possible to hurry and complete the Path of Legend to break through to Legend.

Exchanging a few decades of seclusion for four or five hundred years of a Legendary Powerhouse protecting them was an extremely worthwhile trade for any faction.

Unless, of course, it was a supreme power like the Light Divine Sect.

Only they wouldn’t care too much about a Sub-Legendary expert.

In the eyes of the Light Divine Sect, a Sub-Legendary was nothing, and even a Legendary Powerhouse wasn’t much.

Only a Divine Spirit was worthy of their attention.

Li Wei was extremely curious about the bearded man’s background. ’What faction does he belong to? They were actually willing to send a Sub-Legendary Knight to such a dangerous place.’

Gu Sewei saw that her Frozen World Magic had been blocked, completely unable to get near the Ritual Array.

She shouted anxiously, "Li Wei, what do we do?"

Li Wei also felt a major headache coming on. The strongest Knight Extraordinary Trait, "Absolute Defense," was not just for show.

According to rumor, a Tier Six Knight using Absolute Defense could block an attack from a Forbidden Curse.

Of course, that was limited to protecting themselves.

It couldn’t completely block a spell like Frozen World in the way this man just had.

But it was still enough to prove how powerful the Absolute Defense Extraordinary Trait was.

Li Wei said helplessly, "There’s no other way. I’ll have to give it a try."

’It’s difficult to break through Absolute Defense relying solely on high-power Magic.’

Li Wei had to find another way.

’I’ll use the Power of Rules and see if that can break Absolute Defense.’

The Middle Level Flame Rule was a Power of Rules, and Legendary Level Holy Power was also a Power of Rules.

A Fireball formed entirely from Holy Power appeared in Li Wei’s palm.

The Fireball shot toward the Knight in his Absolute Defense state.

In theory, Legendary Level Holy Power could ignore any defense below the Legendary Level.

’But I wonder if it will work against Absolute Defense?’
