That voice was not loud, but every Frost Dragon could hear it clearly.

  Fox, who’d been preparing to deal Elizabeth the final blow, smashed a hole in the ice, lying motionless.

  That was not a warning, but a declaration.

  It was a declaration of whom Elizabeth’s life belonged to.

  “Alex!”


  A legendary name flashed past their minds. The dragons’ eyes all widened in shock and disbelief.

  Alex, whose name traveled far and wide around the Norland Continent because he killed dragons, was thought to be the most dangerous knight by giant dragons.

  All the giant dragons who died under his sword were well-known.

  Although most of them were the scums of the Dragon Islands, they were all very capable giant dragons. However, none of them was able to escape Alex’s clutches.

  Even the giant dragons who thought very highly of themselves had to admit that the man was very powerful.

  To the frost dragons, this strength was even clearer—just five years ago, at this very same Frost Battlefield, Alex defeated the most powerful of the frost dragons: Rankster.

  All the giant dragons of the frost dragon tribe were there to watch that battle. They saw with their eyes as their leader fell in defeat. Alex’s prowess was enough to leave all the giant dragons feeling helpless.

  At that time, the man was riding on this purple-striped griffin.

  Now, he was back.

  “Howl!”


  A loud and unique call resounded with an ear-piercing blast.

  In a flash, the purple-striped griffin appeared on the Frost Battlefield. It spread its wings and flew along the circumference of the battlefield, bringing along a strong gale that forced the frost dragons back a few steps. At last, it landed lightly beside Elizabeth.

  The purple-striped griffin was glowing with a dazzling purple-gold gleam under the sun. Its domineering stance made all the giant dragons’ hearts skip a beat. It was just a ride, but it had such a strong presence and aura.

  On the back of the griffin sat a tall figure. That legendary longsword was right beside him. Although he had a mask on, all the giant dragons were sure that he was Alex.

  Frost Battlefield was completely silent. All the frost dragons looked uneasily at Alex. What was he here for at Frost Dragon Island after three years? Fox, who’d just defeated Elizabeth and became the new chief, was hit by a Fiery Pig, and no one knew whether he was dead or alive. Without Rankster in the Frost Dragon tribe, who would be able to stop him?”


  Alex!

  Elizabeth also looked at the figure sitting on the purple-striped griffin in disbelief. She’d thought that she was about to die in the hands of Fox, but she had not thought that she would be saved by Alex, whom she always saw as her archenemy, and she was unable to wrap her head around the situation.

  To her, Alex had always been the reason why her father became down and disappeared and her mother gave in to depression.

  To her, the biggest motivation to train was so that she would be able to defeat Alex one day.

  Three years ago, Alex’s sudden death had been a huge blow to her. It had even caused her to lose the goal for her hard work for a period of time. However, Alex’s sudden reappearance some time ago had made her regain the passion and will to train once again.

  But right now, before she had reached the stage where she could challenge him, he was going to save her?

  Elizabeth looked at that silhouette complicatedly. She did not want to die, because there was still a lot of things she wanted to do. One of them was to win against this man right before her.

  I think that was a little too much? Mag thought to himself a little embarrassedly when he felt the atmosphere freeze. He took a look at the Fiery Pig that was smashed, then at the unconscious Fox, and decided that he had to say something to break the ice. “This is your new chief? Seems a little terrible.”


  The Frost Battlefield was still silent. All the frost dragons glared at him with fire in their eyes, but none of them dared to speak.

  The chief of the Frost Dragon tribe being hit unconscious by a Fiery Pig falling from the sky would probably become the joke of the Dragon Islands if word was to get out.

  Douglas took a step forward and looked at Mag with a frown as he bellowed, “Alex, you came without an invitation and interfered with our Frost Dragon tribe’s duel for chief’s position. Is this a declaration of war against the Frost Dragon tribe?!”


  “She’s the daughter of an old friend. Since I have seen it, I cannot just stand by and watch. Since you all want to watch her die, then I shall take her with me,” Mag said to Douglas. After that, he swept a glance at the 10 elders at the elevated platform, and calmly said, “Who dares to stop me?”


  All the frost dragon elders’ faces turned bright red immediately. However, as they looked at Mag, who was sitting tall on the purple-striped griffin, none of them dared to step forward.

  Douglas’s brows were tightly knitted, but he did not say anything, either.

  “Ah Zi.” Mag patted the purple-striped griffin lightly.

  The purple-striped griffin rolled Elizabeth up gently in its wing, threw her on its back, and Elizabeth landed horizontally in Mag’s embrace.

  “Let’s go,” Mag said calmly.

  “Howl!!!”


  The purple-striped griffin let out a loud cry and spread its wings as it ascended into the sky, right in front of the 10 elders’ elevated platform. It let out a sonic boom, and became a little black dot in the sky in an instant.

  “How cocky! Great Elder, are we letting him off just like that? What about the pride of our Frost Dragon tribe?” the second elder said in rage.

  “If you’re unhappy about it, you can catch up to him and ask him for a fight,” Douglas said calmly as he glanced at the second elder.

  “I……” The second elder’s face grew bright red; he was stumped.

  “When have the dragon tribes had any pride in front of Alex and Irina? Even if word gets out, others would just feel sympathy for us,” Douglas said with a complicated look on his face as he watched the black dot disappear on the horizon.

  When the other dragons heard that, they felt a little indignant. When were the giant dragons reduced to being bullied by a human knight and an elf? This was…… too much!

  Douglas retracted his gaze and looked at Fox, who was badly battered and lying behind him, with a frown and said, “Carry Fox down to treat his injuries. There is no winner in this battle. The position of chief will continue to be empty.”


  The second elder came forward, and said a little agitatedly, “Great Elder, if Alex had not suddenly appeared and interfered with the battle, the winner would have been Fox. All of us witnessed it. It is against the rules to conclude it that way! Fox is already the new chief of the Frost Dragon tribe.”


  “I agree with the second elder!”


  “I agree too!”


  Very quickly, another four to five other elders stepped forward to concur with him.

  “The chief of the Frost Dragon tribe needs to have outstanding capabilities, and most importantly, a heart for the tribe. It cannot be someone who is calculative about his personal gains and losses. Back then, I had multiple chances to kill Rankster, but I’ve never thought of killing him. That is why the Frost Dragon tribe could regain its place as one of the top 10 dragon tribes,” Douglas said as he looked at the elders. He continued in a cold tone, “But today, he only wanted to kill Elizabeth.”
