NOVEL NEXT Chapter 187: Towards the Dragon Vase - 2
The blazing flames melted the ground, and a huge vertical cave surrounded by lava appeared where they'd stood.
The intense flames and accompanying storms battered everyone.
This was the Valgang Dragon's roar from the 58th floor, piercing through to the 51st.
"Now's the time!" Finn shouted decisively after dodging.
No one hesitated.
They plunged into the vertical hole blasted by the Valgang Dragon.
Falling at high speed, they had a clear view of the chasm.
At the bottom, a red figure loomed—the Valgang Dragon.
Then, winged dragons—from the 56th and 57th floors—swooped from the hole's sides.
"Prepare for battle!" Finn waved his command spear, shouting.
Everyone adopted fighting stances without delay.
These dragons, monsters of the 56th to 58th floors, roamed freely due to the Valgang Dragon's sniping, ignoring floor boundaries.
"Orsted, protect us!" Riveria shouted, instructing Lefiya, "Prepare your magic!"
Finn had entrusted Riveria and Lefiya to Orsted, who nodded, so she relied on him for defense while chanting.
"I've got you," Orsted replied, halting his advance to focus on them.
"Yes, Lady Riveria!" Lefiya, held by Orsted's waist, gripped her wand, facing forward, and began chanting.
As the mages acted, the others engaged the monsters.
The monsters were no match for Loki's team, easily dispatched by Finn and the others.
But more kept emerging from cave-like holes in the chasm's walls.
The real threat was the Valgang Dragon charging another roar.
Its fiery blasts outmatched the normal dragons.
Finn wasn't worried, though—Riveria and Lefiya's magic was nearly ready.
Glancing at them, shielded by Orsted, he smiled.
The next moment, Riveria's voice rang out.
"Clear the way!"
Everyone reacted instantly, shifting aside in midair despite their rapid descent, thanks to their agility.
As Riveria spoke, they vacated the center.
Three frigid blasts of Fimbulvetr roared past, clashing head-on with the Valgang Dragon's fiery breath.
The Level 6 magic froze the flames into ice shards, then surged toward the 58th floor.
Dragons caught in its path turned to ice sculptures, plummeting with Fimbulvetr's force.
Cast by Orario's top mage, Riveria, Fimbulvetr's power was devastating.
The Valgang Dragon, enraged at its thwarted attack, unleashed more roars, but they crumbled against Fimbulvetr's icy might.
Riveria's magic carved a safe passage, shielding them from dragon fire as they followed Fimbulvetr to the 58th floor.
Emerging through the ceiling, Fimbulvetr struck the Valgang Dragon, freezing the ground into a vast icy patch before dissipating.
Everyone landed safely.
"Thank you, Orsted!" Riveria said, stepping down from his arms.
"Thank you, Lord Orsted!" Lefiya followed, blushing.
Their physiques couldn't withstand a hundreds-of-meters fall.
Without protection, they'd be gravely injured or killed.
In the Anime, Tione carried Lefiya to the 58th floor.
Orsted nodded, scanning their surroundings.
As they arrived, the 58th floor trembled.
Valgang Dragons burst from the ground, and swarms of dragons poured from holes blasted by the dragons.
Battle loomed.
Finn's team charged without hesitation.
Riveria and Lefiya, beside Orsted, began chanting again.
