Chapter 068: Old Acquaintance
The aura of the legendary realm exploded with a roar, like a tangible shockwave ravaging heaven and earth.
Under the terrifying might, Austin, who faced this deadly strike head-on, felt his hair stand on end, as if he would be blasted to death in the next moment!
There was no time to ponder why the King of Frost Giants would take action against him. Austin was not someone to sit around and await death.
"Roar!!!"
Accompanied by a thunderous dragon's roar, Austin sprang into action.
Like a giant roc rising from the Vast Sea, the waves it stirred seemed about to shatter the void. A magnificent blue dragon claw, akin to cast iron, struck forth, reaching for the colossal bone wolf fang club descending from above.
Boom!!!
In that instant of collision, terrifying power erupted.
The shockwave, visible to the naked eye, swept in like a tsunami.
The surrounding houses, the tiles on the streets, and the walls all crumbled and collapsed at that moment, swept high into the air by the current.
The ground spanning over ten meters was as if a layer had been directly peeled off, the airwaves oscillating like sea waves.
The entire city was instantly thrown into chaos.
Meanwhile, Austin used the powerful reactive force generated by the collision to move back, creating some distance between them.
They faced each other.
"What do you mean by this?"
The claw still tingled slightly.
His voice carried a subtle hint of anger.
No one would feel good about an enemy suddenly attacking them with murderous intent.
The King of Frost Giants didn't answer Austin but instead showed a look of surprise.
"You actually managed to block my attack?"
He couldn't help but be in disbelief. From Austin's aura, it was clear he hadn't yet stepped into the gates of the Legendary Realm.
Yet, he managed to block his near-sneak attack full-force strike so easily.
This was simply unbelievable!
Was this some special technique, or something else?
Laufey's face was filled with a look of inquiry.
"Compared to this, I think you should first give me a good explanation."
Austin stood with battle spirit on a pile of ruins, his aura slowly rising.
The magic power of the surrounding space began to stir.
It was the momentum of a fight ready to start at one wrong word.
The air grew heavy.
The city's residents all felt a deep-seated fear stemming from the depths of their hearts.
The King of Frost Giants hefted the bone wolf fang club on his shoulder, baring his fangs in a grim smile.
"What's to explain, I just want to kill you, is that reason enough?"
Boom!!!
The aura exploded!
It rolled through heaven and earth like a tsunami flood.
The entire sky seemed to collapse under the pressure of this powerful aura, and countless people felt short of breath.
As the battle was about to break out,
suddenly,
"King of the Frost Giants, you are quite imposing, but can you so freely kill my people of Celestial Dragon Island?"
A hearty voice came from the sky's edge.
Accompanied by rumbling thunder, it echoed through the entire heaven and earth.
The mountain-like pressure, at this moment, melted like ice and snow encountering the blazing sun under this radiant solar force.
This was the result of an even more powerful aura covering it!
Austin looked up.
In the sky above, without anyone noticing, a cloud as black as ink and as heavy as a mountain had floated over.
And beneath that cloud, a figure seemingly crossed space, suddenly appearing before him.
It was a familiar face to Austin.
Guppa, the mysterious bald middle-aged man who had once accompanied the Crystal Young Dragon Avril!
"Sagwas Guppa... do you Crystal Dragons really intend to intervene in our personal grudge?"
Looking at the suddenly appearing bald middle-aged man, the King of Frost Giants Laufey's face turned somewhat ugly.
His thirty-meter frame, in a previous life, would be like a tall building, its shadow almost covering all of Guppa.
Yet in front of Guppa's not-so-tall figure, he appeared so insignificant!
This was the might that comes with power!
The contrast was enormous between height and stature.
Laufey's voice sounded muffled and thunderous, yet it was clear even to a bystander that there was a hint of trepidation in his tone.
"Hmph, this little kid was invited to Celestial Dragon Island by me a few years ago. Has the prestige of the Ancient Celestial Dragon fallen so low that it can't even protect its own people?"
Guppa snorted coldly, his gaze towards the King of Frost Giants indifferent and merciless.
"I don't know what you guys are plotting or what purpose you ancient remnants have this time."
"However, I have only one thing to say: this little guy, I am looking after, and if anything happens in the future, I'll wipe out your entire clan!"
His voice was calm, but it carried a lofty tone that brooked no doubt.
It was as if an emperor standing at the peak of power, casually passing judgment on a subject!
"You!"
The face of the King of Frost Giants Laufey turned iron blue, the hand holding the bone wolf fang club bulging with veins.
He gripped his weapon tightly, staring at Guppa, his gaze full of anger.
He wanted to act, but he couldn't.
Humiliation!
This was the sorrow of the weak!
"Get lost already!"
Facing the King of Frost Giants' furious and deadly glare indifferently, Guppa spoke coldly.
Laufey's forehead veins bulged visibly, his massive body making this particularly noticeable.
Deathly silence.
After a while, he turned and strode away.
His steps made a rumbling sound upon the ground, the earth shaking, betraying his unsettled heart.
But, what of it?
Until the sound of those footsteps faded and disappeared, the oppressive air around finally calmed.
However, looking at the chaotic field and the imposing figure of Austin still standing, along with the enigmatic bald middle-aged man, the city's residents held their breath again.
Many silently prayed not to cause any more trouble.
"Guppa senior, thank you for your help..."
Austin didn't have as many concerns as the city's residents.
Seeing the King of Frost Giants depart, Austin hurriedly stepped forward to express his gratitude.
Looking at Austin, Guppa's gaze was somewhat dazed.
Then, extremely complex.
How long has it been?
How did this kid grow to this extent?
It seems like just a few years; a few years, for a dragon's long lifespan, is merely the blink of an eye.
But this boy, in just a few years, leapt from gold to nearly touching on the legendary realm.
And he mastered various laws, more numerous than one could count, his strength and combat ability not even beneath a true legendary realm!
His body had also expanded to this degree.
If not for the scales he once gifted, Guppa might even have doubted he recognized the right dragon.
"Currently, the situation... is very complicated. Actually, you shouldn't have come this time. Never mind, follow me and leave first..."
Soon, the two figures left in succession.
Inside the Border Great Wall, peace was restored once more.
