Chapter 91 Epilogue
"Rosha!"
Copperfield, who was fending off the relentless attacks of the ferocious Frost Tiger, shouted with bulging veins on his forehead, his voice filled with disbelief.
He couldn't believe that Rosha, in his berserk state, would be so easily hit by Dragon's Breath without even attempting to dodge. It all happened so suddenly.
Due to being heavily preoccupied with the Frost Tiger's assaults, Copperfield didn't notice the momentary time-space lag.
After learning from Brian's attack on the Spellcaster, the Frost Tiger quickly targeted Copperfield, relentlessly trying to kill him. Because ordinary Spellcasters found it hard to evade the Frost Tiger's fierce pounce, the difficult-to-kill Copperfield attracted all of the Frost Tiger's attention.
At the same time, when Copperfield showed a flaw, the Frost Tiger pounced again with a fierce leap, its muscular body springing a hundred meters, and swiped a claw at Copperfield.
Copperfield had no choice but to shift his focus entirely to dealing with the Frost Tiger.
An invisible field extended out, enveloping his entire body.
The high-efficiency deflection field provided excellent protection against physical attacks.
The Frost Tiger's claw hit the deflection field, feeling like it struck a slippery eel, causing the claw to deviate and crash into the ground, creating a deep pit.
Simultaneously, Runes on the ground lit up, exploding rapidly like landmines.
The Explosive Rune, a rare offensive spell in the school of protection.
The Frost Tiger, with poor defense, was blasted by Copperfield's counterattack, bleeding from its limbs, and let out a pained growl, its movements becoming sluggish.
The surrounding heavy-armored knights immediately drew their swords, but the injured Frost Tiger still had powerful jumping ability. It first spewed freezing wind to force back the nearest knights, then leaped dozens of meters to escape the encirclement.
Around Copperfield, many heavy-armored knights were gathered to protect him.
But they had little means against the incredibly agile Frost Tiger.
Even Brian was impressed by the creature's leaping and pouncing abilities. As the army's Chief, Rosha could also be taken down by the Frost Tiger if caught off guard.
At the location where Brian and Rosha were fighting.
A blast of Frost Breath hit Rosha almost point-blank, causing his movements to slow down as if in slow motion, then covering him in ice crystals and frost, turning him into a lifelike ice sculpture.
But he wasn't dead yet.
Brian could feel the heartbeat within the ice.
The ice crystals on his body kept trembling, and cracks were gradually appearing inside.
This guy had high resistance, making it difficult to kill him instantly like other creatures.
However, using Frost Breath to inflict damage and then freeze his movements made it easier for Brian's next attack.
With a focused expression, Spell Models began to blink in Brian's mind.
He uttered the arcane words of the Conjuration school, drawing magic, and gradually forming two millstone-sized, rapidly spinning orbs in front of him.
One was an ice orb, emitting continuous cold air, and the other was a flame orb, radiating intense heat.
Fourth-level Conjuration, Cold Orb.
Fourth-level Conjuration, Flame Orb.
These two spells were very similar, allowing Brian to cast them almost simultaneously.
Moreover, they were created to be used together.
Among all the schools of magic, the Conjuration school had the most diverse and complex effects, including summoning creatures, manifesting energy, healing, creating items, and teleporting...
Some spells that sounded like they belonged to the Evocation school were actually Conjuration spells, as they didn't involve reshaping or finely controlling energy.
Under Brian's control, the Cold Orb and Flame Orb moved to the front and back of Rosha's body, then collided forcefully in the middle.
If the Cold Orb and Flame Orb hit the enemy simultaneously, their power would be astonishing, surpassing spells of the same level from the Evocation school. However, due to their slow speed, they are difficult to hit, making their strengths and weaknesses clear.
As Rosha's lips turned pale and he broke free from the ice, he felt a cold and a hot force, both very close.
Boom!
The Cold Orb and Flame Orb collided, creating a bowl-shaped energy vortex. The intertwining ice and fire elements surged, with red and blue colors rapidly engulfing the surrounding land. The Earth trembled, and the air steamed.
The entire battlefield paused for a moment due to the impressive display of the spell.
Rosha, who had just endured the Dragon's Breath and hadn't had a moment to catch his breath, was once again engulfed by the brilliance of the spell.
"Ultimately, not as good as a Spellcaster."
Brian shook his head, feeling a moment of silence for Rosha.
When human warriors fight human Mages, unless they can kill the Mage swiftly without giving them a chance to cast spells, they will fall into a continuous chain of spell attacks.
The larger and more complex the battlefield, the more significant the role a Spellcaster can play. A well-prepared spell and an experienced Spellcaster can often turn the tide of battle.
Their esteemed status comes from this very fact.
Rosha's body, honed through countless battles, made him like a humanoid True Dragon. But because he couldn't cast spells and could only rely on his physique, he seemed powerless against a true True Dragon who mastered both magic and combat, especially since Brian could use the unsolvable time-stopping technique.
When the red and blue frost-heat energy vortex dissipated, a deep pit with a diameter of several dozen meters appeared on the ground, filled with ice spikes and burning flames.
A half-dead figure lay at the bottom of the pit, motionless, but the magic greatsword by his side still gleamed, catching Brian's slight attention.
Brian felt a bit regretful that Rosha had originally carried a space ring, but it had been destroyed by the energy vortex.
Looking at the faintly breathing but not completely dead Rosha, Brian couldn't help but praise his tenacity.
Even the White Dragon Mother would be severely injured if not killed by such an attack. For a human to withstand this much damage, he was undoubtedly a formidable warrior. An ordinary Adult White Dragon would likely not be his match in a one-on-one fight. Without time-stopping, Brian would find it hard to defeat him this way.
Enduring the surge of numerous spell attacks, Brian approached Rosha, extended his Dragon Claws, and pierced his heart.
The sharp claws penetrated the enemy's chest, and the faint life force completely dissipated.
Brian then exhaled a Dragon's Breath, burying him in the ice crystal jungle.
Immediately, he looked up and locked eyes with the old Mage, whose face was filled with sorrow. He could clearly see the anger and helplessness in his eyes.
As a mid-level fifth-circle Mage, Copperfield had mastered many fifth-circle protection spells, but due to being quickly severely injured by Brian, he couldn't cast any of them.
A Spellcaster's physical and mental state are also crucial for casting spells.
After being severely injured, being able to barely use fourth-circle spells already made him a very good Spellcaster.
As time passed, the war on the northern Ice Field was nearing its end.
Brian's followers had suffered sixty percent casualties, while the human heavy-armored knights and Spellcasters had over eighty percent casualties, with rivers of blood painting a red picture in the white world.
Due to the death of many Spellcasters, the spell blocking the Sky had now failed.
With the Sky no longer sealed, the White Dragon Mother soared into the air, flapping her Dragon Wings, laughing triumphantly. She continuously used Dragon's Breath to scour the ground, occasionally diving down to crush some people.
