Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 443 At worst, we'll just sink the underground world!
At this moment, the massive body of the Eternal Night Ice Scale Dragon King fully emerged from the passage, its powerful dragon form coiled at the entrance, casting a shadow that shrouded a small section of the battlefield in despairing darkness.

Those empty dragon eyes, filled with undisguised savagery and greed, slowly swept across the chaotic battlefield, finally locking onto the ice-blue figure in the center of the battlefield—the new king of the Giant Court, the Frost Giant.

Like an experienced hunter locking onto his prey, his eyes are filled with greed and desire.

"Ang~"

The King of the Eternal Night Ice Scale Dragons let out a low roar filled with cruelty and mockery. Its enormous dragon wings slowly retracted, and its massive body, as large as a mountain, landed with extraordinary agility on a natural watchtower made of piled-up boulders on the side of the battlefield.

"Crack... Boom!"

Its sharp dragon claws, capable of tearing mountains apart, landed lightly, and the solid boulder platform was easily crushed by its claws like tofu.

The rubble fell like a waterfall, making a continuous, loud noise.

The King of the Eternal Night Ice Scale Dragons sat atop a high platform, looking down upon the mortals below, who were like ants. His empty eyes burned with a cold flame that froze and devoured everything, turning it into absolute stillness.

The arrival of the Eternal Night Ice Scale Dragon King was like throwing an ancient, unyielding dark iceberg into a boiling battlefield.

It merely perched atop the high platform, its empty dragon eyes sweeping indifferently across the battlefield. The extreme chill emanating from its body and the shadows that devoured light caused the entire deafening battlefield to fall into an eerie stillness.

At the same time, the Frost Giant's body tensed slightly, and its giant hand gripping the King's Greatsword tightened unconsciously, with the ice armor at its knuckles making a slight "creaking" sound.

It could clearly feel the terrifying pressure surging in like a tidal wave, a pressure far exceeding any opponent it had ever encountered before, even sending a chill down its spine.

However, this chill did not turn into fear. Instead, like ice crystals thrown into a furnace, it was instantly vaporized by an even more intense fighting spirit.

The Frost Giant gripped its King's Greatsword tightly, bracing itself against the overwhelming and terrifying pressure as it stepped forward. Its eyes sharpened, and a kingly aura erupted from its body like a dormant volcano.

"Om-!"

In that instant, two invisible, terrifying auras clashed violently in the void where the two kings' gazes met.

There was no sound, yet it was as if a thunderclap had exploded in everyone's minds.

In an instant, a ring-shaped shockwave that distorted light spread outwards from the two of them.

Wherever it passed, the rubble and dust on the ground were instantly cleared away. Some low-level pets that were a little closer were as if they had been hit by an invisible giant hammer, and collapsed to the ground without even uttering a sound.

Even the skilled beast tamers and giant warriors felt a tightness in their chests, their breaths stopped, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on their hearts, and their souls trembled uncontrollably.

On the entire battlefield, whether it was the dark forces' pets still fighting, or the royal court warriors and human beast tamers who were fighting hard, everyone froze at this moment.

They all stopped fighting at the same time, and with complex looks of fear, awe, despair or hope, they turned to the two figures facing each other like mountains.

All the sounds of fighting, roaring, and explosions mysteriously vanished at that moment.

All that remained on the battlefield was the howling wind whistling through the cracks in the rocks, and the suffocating, terrifying pressure stemming from the absolute difference in the level of life.

At this moment, everyone understood that the ultimate outcome of this catastrophe that swept across the entire underground world would no longer depend on the outcome of their struggles against each other.

The true balance has been tipped over the duel between these two kings.

The victor will rule everything.

In the distance, Zheng Zhang's special operations team was also enveloped by the aftershocks of this terrifying pressure.

A young team member's face turned pale, and cold sweat seeped from his forehead. His professional training had tried to calm him down, but just looking at the dragon shadow on the high platform, which alone could inspire despair, even his voice trembled slightly as he murmured, "Is this the existence of the Dawn quality? This sense of oppression is too exaggerated."

He subconsciously glanced at his main pet, which was lying at his feet, trembling and burying its head under its front paws. A bitter smile appeared on his face: "This guy doesn't even have the courage to look up and look directly at the King of the Eternal Night Ice Scale Dragons."

Zheng Zhang's expression was equally solemn, but his gaze remained steady.

He slowly narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp as an eagle's, fixed on the distant standoff, and spoke in a deep voice, not loud, but clearly reaching the ears of every team member: "Remember, even the strongest pet has its opponent. Even the seemingly invincible being inevitably has weaknesses. Fear solves nothing."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the team members' still pale faces. His tone softened, yet carried an undeniable confidence as he added, "Stay calm. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Don't forget, Advisor Chen is still watching from up there. This dragon won't be arrogant for long."

Although the might of the Eternal Night Ice Scale Dragon King was terrifyingly powerful, this was not a one-on-one regular pet battle. Advisor Chen could send all his pets to attack at once.

Even if the Blazing Sky Falcon or the Wind-Riding Hound are no match for it, all the pet beasts combined can still be compared to this terrifying existence.

Upon hearing this, the team members subconsciously looked up at the calm figure standing on the back of the Blazing Falcon high in the sky, and a strange sense of peace quietly dispelled some of the gloom in their hearts.

Yes, Consultant Chen is still here.

This is a legendary beast tamer who has faced numerous crises and resolved them all with ease, earning him the title of the strongest savior.

Suddenly, another team member looked around, staring at the cracked, crumbling rock walls and the bottomless pits in the ground, and whispered worriedly, "Captain, with a battle of this level, what if—I mean, what if—they start fighting and destroy the entire underground world?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zhang didn't even frown. He simply replied in a lower, yet resolute tone, "We can't worry about that now. If we win, the underground world can be rebuilt even if it collapses. If we lose, we'll all have to run for our lives."

"At worst, we can sink the underground world!"

His words conveyed a resolute determination, which shook the team members and ignited their fighting spirit to fight to the death.

High in the sky, Chen Yuan stood facing the wind.

His deep gaze pierced through space, landing on the massive and ferocious body of the Eternal Night Ice Scale Dragon King, his thoughts churning.

"This aura is indeed comparable to that of Senior Huangtian Jinlong, and in terms of destructive power, it is even superior."

Carefully examining the Eternal Night Ice Scale Dragon King, Chen Yuan's eyes flickered as he secretly assessed, "If I had encountered such a being right after the Eastern Glory Tournament, I would probably have had no choice but to avoid its sharp edge, with absolutely no possibility of confronting it head-on."

but.

His gaze lowered slightly, sweeping over the little ones who had quietly gathered around him without him noticing.

Cola squatted at his feet, not as lively and active as usual, but her bright blue eyes burned with a fierce fighting spirit, and the air around her swirled silently, ready to turn into a raging wind that could tear everything apart at any moment: "Awooo!"

Master, I'm ready at any time!

The Morning and Evening Flower Fairy floated lightly beside his shoulder, then suddenly pressed her soft body against his cheek, smiling sweetly: "Yingying~"

Mom, I chased away a lot of bad guys!

The Azure Sea Spirit Lord hovered gracefully in the air not far away, his cold dragon eyes locked onto the Eternal Night Ice Scale Dragon King in front of him, his body surrounded by a dark blue light, as if brewing a raging storm: "Roar!" Bah, a dragon race anomaly!

Iron-Headed Boy stood silently to one side like the most steadfast mountain, his steel blade lowered, his aura extremely restrained, yet giving people a terrifying premonition that blood would be drawn as soon as it was unsheathed: "Crack."

This is an incredibly powerful opponent.

The outside world is too dangerous; this return to the farm requires a ten-year seclusion.

Looking around and taking in the little ones' reactions, Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile slightly.

“Things are different now.” His gaze sharpened, and he silently thought to himself, “We’ve become a little bit stronger.”

"Roar!!!"

Just then, in the center of the battlefield below, the Frost Giant suddenly let out a thunderous roar.

The massive body suddenly took a step forward, cracking the ground, and the king's greatsword in its hand erupted with a towering icy blue beam of light, pointing directly at the Eternal Night Ice Scale Dragon King on the high platform.

As the new king of the Giants' Court, and the current guardian of this land, it has a reason and responsibility that it cannot back down.

It will use the sword in its hand to tell all its people, and also to tell that arrogant invader—the royal court—that it will never fall!

At this moment, the King of the Eternal Night Ice Scale Dragons sat atop the high platform, his dragon eyes, like the void, gazing down at the frost giants that were slowly advancing.

There was no anger, no contempt in that gaze, only an extreme indifference, as if looking at an insect about to be crushed.

As for this newly crowned king who dared to challenge its majesty, it decided to turn him, along with his ridiculous beliefs, into ice dust in the most thorough way.

"Roar!!!"

Without warning, the King of the Eternal Night Ice Scale Dragons suddenly opened its enormous maw, which seemed capable of devouring everything, and a viscous, deep, and destructive Dark Corrosive Breath erupted forth. This breath was like the Styx River bursting its banks, flowing out silently yet swiftly.

Wherever the breath passed, light was distorted and swallowed, the air emitted a corrosive "sizzling" sound, and even space seemed to ripple with ominous signs, heading straight for the Frost Giant.

At that moment, the Frost Giant's eyes suddenly narrowed.

It sensed the terrifying power contained in the Dark Erosion Breath, enough to annihilate everything, and dared not be negligent in the slightest. With a muffled roar, it lowered its massive body slightly, gripped the King's Greatsword tightly with both hands, and forcefully plunged the sword into the ground in front of it like a giant shield.

“Buzz——!!!”

The heavy sword and the breath clashed fiercely.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a strange sound that made your teeth ache, as if energy was being rapidly corroded and dissolved.

The torrent of shadows crashed against the sword, which emanated an ancient aura, unleashing a shower of black and icy blue energy fragments.

The Frost Giant's towering, mountain-like body trembled violently, and the incredibly hard rock beneath its feet crumbled and collapsed like a fragile biscuit.

It held firm against the heavy sword, the ice armor on its arms cracking softly under the erosion of the shadow energy, the immense force pushing it backward and carving two deep furrows several meters deep.

With just one breath, the difference in skill was immediately apparent.

The Frost Giant, who had just mastered the power of the King's Greatsword, was completely on the defensive and even looked somewhat disheveled.

"Roar"

Upon witnessing this scene, many giant warriors watching from afar let out terrified growls, and the hearts of all the royal beings were in their throats.

If the Frost Giants are defeated, what will become of them?

"Oh no! The Frost Giants are being completely suppressed!"

A gasp rang out from the crowd. Zheng Zhang frowned slightly, his attention shifting from the fierce battle to the silent Advisor Chen, a multitude of questions welling up within him.

Is Consultant Chen not going to make a move?
Was he planning to let the Frost Giant face the Eternal Night Ice Scale Dragon King alone? Even though the Frost Giant had been carefully trained by Advisor Chen, and even though its strength had made a qualitative leap, after this round of combat, it was completely outmatched.
"Not urgent."

Chen Yuan stood on Spark's back, the gust of wind stirred up by the collision of skills blowing him around, his clothes fluttering.

He spoke softly, calming the little ones' impatience, and then cast a deep gaze at the frost giant they were struggling against.

He can't rush into a fight.

The Frost Giant had just become the new king, and he could use this battle to demonstrate his strength and establish his authority in front of thousands of members of the royal court. Even if things went badly afterward, he was confident that he could reverse the situation and achieve final victory.

Moreover, the Frost Giant had only mastered the King's Greatsword for less than a day, and this battle provided a perfect opportunity to accelerate his mastery.

It's too early to say who will win this match.

"You guys watch patiently for now, observe this guy's weaknesses, and you'll have your chance to make a move later." Chen Yuan looked at the kids and reassured them, "Especially you, Cola, don't be impatient, you'll definitely be able to make a move."

"Ow!"

Upon hearing its master's voice, Cola howled, finally suppressing its surging fighting spirit.

The master would never lie to me!
At the same moment, looking at the easily defeated Frost Giant, the King of the Eternal Night Ice Scale Dragons' eyes flashed with a hint of boredom, as if he felt that such resistance was too weak.

"Boom——!!!"

The next moment, the wings of the Eternal Night Ice Scale Dragon King suddenly flapped, and the bone spikes on the edges of the wings, as sharp as guillotines, were wrapped with terrifying gales that tore through space. Like two huge scythes of death, they crossed and slashed at the Frost Giant who had just regained his footing.

The Frost Giant had just withstood the breath attack; its old strength was exhausted and new strength had not yet been generated. Faced with this lightning-fast pincer attack, it could only hastily hold its greatsword horizontally to its side to parry.

clang! ! !
Click——!
The ear-piercing clang of metal was mixed with the crisp sound of ice crystals shattering.

The frost giant's massive body tumbled uncontrollably to one side as if struck by two mountain peaks, crashing heavily into a distant rock wall and creating a huge crater in the hard rock.

The ice armor on its shoulders showed obvious cracks, and the hand gripping the sword hilt trembled slightly.

The Frost Giant struggled to his feet with the aid of his greatsword, then looked up at the Eternal Night Ice Scale Dragon King directly in front of him, a resolute glint in his eyes.
