Chapter 421: Chapter 346: Being Set Up

The Gravity Singularity that Zelir had conjured formed at a height of seven meters above the ground.

This was the absolute limit of the range at which he could pull down the serpent’s head from above.

Moreover, seven meters was just barely within the attack range of a Magma Pillar eruption.

The moment the Energy Core took shape, a terrifying suction force suddenly erupted!

The Frost Serpent Head was immediately yanked downward.

As its head drew closer to the Energy Core, the gravitational pull grew stronger, making it increasingly difficult to break free.

On the battlefield, a sphere formed from the converging suction force appeared.

The black volcanic rock that the Magma Pillar had just spewed out.

The frozen turf on the ground, mixed with soil.

And the scattered Ice Crystal Fragments.

Everything was being pulled toward the Energy Core.

The Frost Dragon Snake clearly realized what Zelir was trying to do, and it struggled desperately to break free of its bonds.

But the gravitational pull of the Gravity Singularity intensified once more.

The capture range of the Energy Core’s gravity was now visible to the naked eye; wind howled and converged, resembling the eye of a small typhoon.

The Frost Dragon Snake was held fast, forcefully restrained.

"Get... down... here!"

Zelir’s features twisted into a ferocious expression from the extreme exertion.

The rate at which his Magic Power reserves were depleting was directly proportional to the force of the Frost Dragon Snake’s struggles. Continuing this stalemate was by no means a good strategy.

So Zelir gritted his teeth and poured a massive amount of Magic Power into the Gravity Singularity all at once.

The pulling effect of the Energy Core reached its peak.

Then, Zelir decisively canceled the sustained Casting.

With the Magic Power he had just poured in, the Gravity Singularity’s pull would last for a while longer.

The Energy Core had captured the Frost Dragon Snake. It was now like a moth stuck in a spider’s web, struggling with all its might.

The Dragon Snake’s own upward momentum fought against the core’s explosive gravitational pull in a difficult tug-of-war.

Zelir didn’t dare to delay for a second. The moment he stopped pouring in Magic Power, he immediately began to activate the next Spell Structure.

The Frost Dragon Snake’s vertical pupils widened in terror.

’That damned Human Mage raised his Magic Wand again!’

The ring of molten gold appeared once more, the ground began to tremble violently, and the air temperature started to climb rapidly!

The Magma Pillar, erupting for a second time!

BOOM!!!

A brilliant pillar of fire shot up from below, slamming into the Frost Dragon Snake’s head!

Streams of lava flowed along every crevice between its Snake Scales, tracing out deadly patterns.

The combination of intense heat and the impact of Magic Power once again destroyed the scales and flesh of the Frost Serpent Head.

Amidst the Flame, the Frost Dragon Snake thrashed in agony.

...

Multiple Ice Crystal Fragments had embedded themselves deep in his body. Gray staggered back two steps and uncontrollably dropped to one knee.

He glanced down at himself.

Two Ice Crystal Fragments had pierced his Leather Armor and lodged in his left shoulder, while his thigh bristled with several smaller ice shards like a porcupine.

The blood that welled from his wounds froze the moment it touched his skin.

Gray felt as if he had swallowed an entire bucket of ice. A bone-deep chill spread through him, and even his toes were trembling from the cold.

Not far away, the ordinary Dragon Snake whose right eye had been stabbed out by Hill rallied and prepared to charge again with even greater frenzy.

"Gray!"

Seeing this, Valles, who was at the rear, turned pale with shock.

’Gray was just injured; there’s no way he can hold out now.’

Valles even abandoned his ranged support. With a SHWIIING, he drew his Curved Saber, intending to rush forward and help.

But the corner of Gray’s eye twitched. He actually pinched an Ice Crystal Fragment embedded in his body between two fingers, and then...

yanked it straight out!

SQUELCH...!

A chunk of bloody flesh was torn out along with the Ice Crystal Fragment.

One after another, his movements were fast, steady, and without hesitation.

The intense pain made Gray’s vision swim with black spots, but his strong will allowed him to bear it.

Soon, after he had finished pulling out the foreign objects from his body, the Life Praise Silk Threads lit up once more.

As if sensing Gray’s injuries, the Healing Energy infused into him this time was even more potent.

Although the wounds didn’t heal completely right away, the pain at least subsided.

Furthermore, it wasn’t just Healing Energy being transmitted from the threads; the effect of the Dispel Skill was activated as well.

The bone-deep chill also began to fade.

"Hah... Hah..."

Gray gasped for air, expelling the cold and stale air from his chest.

He looked at the Dragon Snake charging straight for him.

This creature had learned its lesson. Even with Hill harassing it from the side, it refused to be distracted.

From the very beginning, its one and only target was to finish Gray off first!

Hill, on the other side, was indeed at a loss.

As an Assassin, her role on a direct battlefield like this was quite limited.

If she were facing a Demon with a fragile body, like a Witch Demon, Hill could have snuck over and attempted an assassination.

But against a giant serpent dozens of meters long and covered in hard Scale Armor...

she was truly powerless.

The serpent’s body hugged the ground as it lunged forward!

But Gray also roared and launched his own attack!

He dodged slightly to the side, taking a half-step, and gripped his Cloud Steel Sword with both hands, holding it horizontally at his side.

Gray was actually going to meet the serpent head’s charge head-on!

This was a mounted cavalry tactic.

The rider doesn’t need to actively swing their blade. They just need to hold it out in front of them and use the momentum of their warhorse to slice the enemy in two as they gallop past!

And that was exactly what Gray was doing now.

He dodged to the serpent head’s right, extending his Cloud Steel Sword out to the left, its sharp edge glinting with a cold light.
