A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 421 Facing a Group of Dragons Alone, the Courtesy of Ice

"Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up! Who's steering the ship?!" a student roared furiously, trying to make the icebreaker beneath his feet go faster. It was supposed to be nuclear-powered, so why was it moving as slowly as a wheelchair?!

Despite the cold wind and the need to wear a ventilator, Professor Schneider chose to stay on the deck with his students, explaining succinctly: "In modern ships, trust the principal's command and trust Norma's control."

The implication is that most modern large ocean-going ships are equipped with computerized navigation systems, allowing computers to steer the ships, and few people personally take the helm. Unless there is an unexpected accident, the ship will switch to a human-controlled + computer-assisted control mode.

The AI ​​Norma is in charge of the ship and can handle most unexpected situations on its own. Angers is also in the captain's cabin observing the battle and can give timely instructions to Norma if he finds anything amiss or a trap.

In other words, the icebreaker is probably already moving at its maximum speed, and it won't go any faster even if they urge it.

The icebreaker continued its advance, its nuclear power giving it the strength to crush every inch of ice, as if it were digging its own grave.

The makeshift gray waterway that they had personally cleared at the stern was now being occupied by the dragons, who were catching up with them even faster.

Looking down at this scene from the sky, it can probably be described as a pack of wolves chasing a large sheep, with such a huge disparity in strength between them and the enemy.

Looking at the dragons that had come from the ancient times, Lu Mingfei felt the savage pressure and couldn't help but tremble. His teeth chattered, and he couldn't even tell whether he was frightened by the dragons or frozen.

After trembling for a while, Lu Mingfei hurriedly lowered his head and called out to his help in the faintest whisper, "Lu Mingze, where's Lu Mingze?! Come out, come out and save me! I'm going to die!"

Every time "Lu Mingze" was called, Lu Mingfei would look up in alarm, quickly scan the area, and find that the group hadn't stopped, the students were still walking and stopping, swaying back and forth, time hadn't stopped, and that bastard Lu Mingze hadn't come.

Lu Mingfei was so anxious that sweat beaded on his forehead, only to dry it in the wind. His head felt even colder and dizzier. Wait, did Lu Mingze stand him up? Did he not want to do the deal anymore? Why wouldn't he come out no matter how much he called?
In a life-or-death crisis, was that little devil fast asleep?
"That is?!"

"Senior Brother Chu!"

"Danger!"

The students' exclamations made Lu Mingfei look up and see that, at some point, Chu Zihang had jumped off the icebreaker and landed on the solid ice on the left, charging alone towards the group of dragons!

Not to mention the classmates, even Lu Mingfei wanted to scream. No, Senior Brother Killer, are you trying to get yourself killed? How dare you go up and take on a group of dragons all by yourself?
Caesar's face was as black as the bottom of a wok: "Damn it, is he really that reckless?!" In his eyes, Chu Zihang's unauthorized actions were nothing short of recklessness! Utterly reckless! Simply a brute!
No matter what, it's impossible for one person to face two second-generation species and so many pure-blooded dragons!

Chu Zihang exerted force with the soles of his feet, taking a step forward that splashed up thin wisps of ice mist on the glacier. He shot towards the dragons like an arrow released from a bow.

Chu Zihang could roughly sense his classmates' concerns, but he was the most suitable one to intercept the dragons. He had 'Iron Transformation' to withstand the dragons, and he also had 'Flame Transformation' and 'Flame Leap' to save his life.

As for Senior Brother Fingel, he has more important responsibilities.

When Chu Zihang jumped off the ship to buy time for everyone, Fingel did not join in the students' exclamations, but instead quickly cast a spell.

After advancing to Sequence 3 Insightful One, Fingel became more inclined to be a spellcaster and would no longer easily drive the Bronze Throne to crash into dragons.

Fingel's eyes were no longer entirely golden; instead, they faintly shimmered with pure white. The rules of the world were revealed before Fingel's eyes, and the mysteries of the ice layer were laid bare before him.

Knowing that the Arctic ice ahead was constantly blocking his way, Fingel did not bother to destroy all the Arctic glaciers. He simply created an ice spell, 'Ice Courtesy', and continued to cast it on the bow and stern of the icebreaker.

In this way, icebreakers will no longer need to painstakingly ram and crush the glacier.

When the bow of an icebreaker comes close to the glacier, the glacier will spontaneously split open to both sides, as if the bow of the icebreaker had broken through it, just like the repulsion between the poles of a magnet.

The specific principle is that, from a mystical perspective, Fingel combines ice-based secret arts with the principles of alchemical material transformation to create a new secret art that temporarily transforms a small part of the bow of the ship into a mystical substance that is mutually exclusive with glaciers.

Under the influence of repulsive force, Fingel does not need to expend any extra spirituality or energy; the repulsive force itself is enough to tear apart the glacier and allow the ship to pass.

Once deep inside the glacier, the 'ice courtesy' applied to the stern of the icebreaker will be repelled by the surrounding glacier, which is equivalent to applying a repulsive force to the stern of the icebreaker, making it easier to accelerate and causing the icebreaker to go faster and faster.

The students didn't notice Fingel's quiet little movements; they all focused their attention on Chu Zihang.

Chu Zihang moved with incredible speed, leaving a long trail of fire on the glacier. He was already in front of the dragon formation, his body ablaze with flames. The blue flames were interspersed with a few blazing white flames, and in an instant, a large wall of fire was blasted out, engulfing the dragons!
"Roar!" The fire-type sub-species was clearly enraged. In ancient times, humans were merely servants of dragons, yet today they dared to provoke a pure-blooded dragon? In the sub-species' eyes, this was undoubtedly an overstepping of bounds and an offense. The sub-species' semi-liquid dragon scales, which resembled flowing lava, blazed with intense flames, and a raging wave of flames far larger and more overwhelming than Chu Zihang's fire wall swept back towards it.

"Plop! Plop!"

In the instant the flames clashed, the intense heat melted a patch of glaciers, and more than a dozen pure-blooded dragons that could not fly were the first to fall into the icy sea.

Fortunately, dragons have thick skin and flesh, so even though the seawater was boiling, it did not harm them.

Not only them, but even Chu Zihang, who wanted to use the fire wall to cover his body, almost fell into the icy sea. Fortunately, there was fire everywhere, and he could quickly 'transform into flames' and merge into it to move.

It must be said that this type of glacial terrain, where it is easy to fall into the water, is not suitable for Chu Zihang to perform well.

The Lava Sub-genius didn't even bother to glance at it, assuming that the ignorant humans had already been burned to ashes. Just as it was about to continue forward, Chu Zihang suddenly and incredibly jumped out from above the towering waves of fire, and the alchemical sword mass-produced by the Kassel Equipment Department suddenly slashed down, striking the Lava Sub-genius's head!

‘Clang! ’

As the sound of hammering echoed across the dragon's head, the mass-produced alchemical sword's blade began to show fine cracks. Chu Zihang quickly merged into the flames and disappeared again, leaving behind the alchemical sword that suddenly exploded.

That wasn't Chu Zihang's doing, but rather a habit of the Kassel Equipment Department. No matter what it was, once it entered the Equipment Department, it would definitely come out with a bomb inside, at most just with different yields.

Although this bomb is extremely powerful to humans, it cannot even damage the scales of the Lava Subspecies.

"Roar!" The damage wasn't great, but the insult was extremely strong. In the eyes of the Lava Generation Species, it was just that Chu Zihang, this little bug, was constantly provoking them!

The second-generation species with ice-blue bone armor on the left also cast its gaze. Unlike its companion, it did not have a violent temper and had already discovered that although the wall of fire released by Chu Zihang was relatively small, it had not been extinguished and was still scorching the glacier and the ice sea.

In contrast, within the towering waves of fire released by the Lava Second Generation, a faint blue light shone through, a blue light very similar to Chu Zihang's blue-white fire wall.

Chu Zihang jumped back into the flames, sighing inwardly at the trouble. If Murasame were still in his possession, his sneak attack might have been able to break through the dragon's scales and injure its head. The weapons mass-produced by the equipment department were still not sharp enough.

After the last battle in Tokyo, in order to kill Odin, Chu Zihang did not hesitate to use the Iron Blood Knight's 'weaponization' ability on Murasame.

Under the effect of 'weaponization', Murasame's damage increased dramatically, successfully piercing through Pompeii in its dragon scale state, before being completely destroyed due to the side effects of 'weaponization'.

To avoid arousing suspicion, Chu Zihang lied and claimed that Murasame was damaged by Ince. Since Ince was "dead," any blame could be shifted onto Ince.

Therefore, Chu Zihang currently does not have a suitable weapon. The alchemical domain sword that the Old Church rewarded him with is too easy to hurt his teammates, so Chu Zihang generally does not use it and it is just gathering dust in his dormitory.

Pulling his scattered thoughts back to the top of the fire wave, Chu Zihang released fire crows towards the surrounding dragons as he gained altitude.

Hundreds of fire crows took flight, each more precise than the last, bombarding the heads of the dragons. There was no way to dodge them, and the few fourth-generation dragons were blasted to pieces, their flesh torn open, releasing the aroma of roasted meat.

The second and third generation species could withstand the fire crows, at most their dragon scales would be slightly charred, and the damage would not be great. However, this humiliating act further angered the dragons, who roared angrily at Chu Zihang.

But as they roared in fury, a question arose in the minds of the dragons: Where are the people?
Just then, a sword sheath flew in from the east! It was a sheath for a mass-produced alchemical sword, which Chu Zihang had 'weaponized' and injected with a fireball, causing it to accelerate continuously.

The increasingly swift sword sheath erupted in a massive burst of flame, like a rocket, slamming into the dragons.

"Boom!"

The explosion, which affected an area the size of a square, injured many fourth-generation species and left some third-generation species in a sorry state. The two leading second-generation species were furious, their golden eyes glaring at Chu Zihang. But when they saw Chu Zihang flying in mid-air, their expressions turned to astonishment.

Is this really a human? How can it use fire and fly at the same time?
Chu Zihang infused the emblem with spirituality, summoning a whirlwind that carried him eastward, attempting to lure away the dragons.
