Cthulhu Gonfalons

Chapter 41

As soon as Boss Snow initiated the attack, Sui Xiong instantly felt an imposing attitude that was completely different from the brat's attack.

He exerted pressure on people who were completely different from Sui Xiong, apart from how one felt when facing an extraordinary God. It was swift, fierce and terrifying, making one feel as if he was meeting a natural enemy at the top of the food chain that could impose a powerful manner.

His eyes also changed. His normal-looking eyes before started to turn golden red, and a bluish-white pattern started to creep on his white and fatty face. Small scales appeared on his face, and at the same time, horns grew from the sideburns and behind his ears, which was truly terrifying.

“Shuang, close the door! Xian, activate the magic array! “Say with cold. “Phil! Attack her! ”

Soon, a strange boy named Shuang jumped out and passed Sui Xiong, who was at a dead end with Boss Snow. He arrived at the doorway with just a single step and waved his hand gently, and bang! Heavy door closed. Then a blue-white light appeared under their feet and immediately spread to the grocery store. There was clearly a powerful magician who was secretly practicing a spell.

Meanwhile, Sui Xiong could hear heavy steps, and the sound of a metal boot coming from the inner chamber.

Sui Xiong could not give them a chance to finish activating the magic array, or else he would be trapped. He shouted and grabbed his ten tentacles and stabbed Boss Snow and Shuang. He also used one of his tentacles to block the inner space, so that the person inside could not get out.

He already knew who the people in this grocery store were and had exerted all his strength; even a God would not draw his punch when facing some dragons. If he did, it was because he thought the top layer of skin on his face was too thick and he wanted his opponent to help him get the pair out.

It's like in the world of online gaming. A world-class pro might be able to compete with an amateur with one hand behind his back, but what if he was competing against an advanced amateur whose level was already close to that of a pro? He might as well ask for a fight!

Let's put this situation in a football match scenario. Even if they conceded ten goals to the Chinese team, the Brazilian team could still win the game, but the same could happen against the Russian team!

Tentacles made of cold energy targeted them. Two tentacles held the enemy in tongs, eight tentacles attacked Boss Snow, one tentacle blocked the inner space gate, and the other four tentacles protected Palin. At the same time, Sui Xiong made more tentacles by consuming cold energy, so that he could increase the damage of his attacks.

As soon as the door closed, half of Shuang's body was still human and half became the body of a dragon. Shuang grew very tall and had a dragon head, two dragon claws, a dragon tail, and a human body that turned maroon. Shuang waved his claws very quickly, as if he was brandishing a sharp sword, accompanied by a piercing sound as if the sky was breaking. Claws and tentacles collide, bang, bang, bang! It sounded as if a group of men with superpowers were swinging their axes to make a hole in the hard ice layer.

But Shuang was not as strong as Sui Xiong and repeatedly retreated. Had it not been for his tail, he would have been defeated.

The battle between Sui Xiong and Boss Snow was somewhat different. Boss Snow had turned into a ball of bluish-white light, and his figure was hard to spot. Sui Xiong's eight ice tentacles enveloped this cold light, but his tentacles were covered in ice. The two ice sheets were eroding each other in silence, which made Palin nervous and frightened as she watched from the sidelines.

As a witch herself, Palin was not very strong, but she had eagle-eyed. He could tell that Void Faceless was getting the best out of Shuang and was unlikely to lose, while Sui Xiong was in a stalemate with Boss Snow. Their magic power negates each other and they both attempt to gain control over the cold air. This kind of battle was the fiercest, as the intent to kill was not spoken but clear. This was similar to a fight between two advanced magicians who used the same spell in a fight. The key is who has better control over spells and the accumulation of their mental strength. If one of them stuck out his neck, the other would seize the opportunity and injure his comrade!

As for the man in the inner room, from the very beginning Sui Xiong had no intention of attacking him. The tentacles immediately collapsed as soon as they reached the inner chamber door, becoming a large and resolute ice door. It blocked the gate and prevented the insiders from coming out.

Sui Xiong had already prepared his tactics since the beginning of the fight. The plan was to sever the connection between the man in the inner room and the people outside so that he could focus on fighting with them.

Even a lion needs to be careful when dealing with a rabbit, so one should never give his enemy a chance to take advantage of it!

Sui Xiong's tactics were generally correct. If things went smoothly he could defeat Shuang, then Boss Snow and finally their support in the inner room.

However, things rarely go according to plan.

Bang out! Not far from there, the floor suddenly broke and a maroon figure leaped out, another man with a half-human and half-dragon body. He was slightly shorter than Shuang but had the same strength. However, he did not try to save Shuang or attack Palin; instead, he ran towards the inner chamber.

Sui Xiong was startled and stretched out two tentacles to stop him. The man had no intention of confronting her with fortitude; instead he slid onto the floor just below the two tentacles. Then he arrived at the inner room door that was blocked by the ice wall. He shouted, brandished his claws, and crashed heavily into the ice wall.

At the same time, the man in the inner room started crashing into the ice wall as well.

Both Sui Xiong and Boss Snow, in the middle of their fight, were in a daze and they slowed down their fighting speed.

“Snow, I have told you that the way you do things is no different from playing with fire and that one day you will make a stick for your own back,” the big man said in a low and muffled voice while standing on a pile of broken ice. “See? The time has come! ”

In fact, Palin knew this man because he was a famous person in four cities in the northwest.

“Are You Armored Demon Phil? The famous forest guard? ”Palin can't bear to not ask. “How can you get involved with a dragon? Or are you a dragon yourself? ”

The assumption makes sense in many ways. Judging from the current situation, the Good Eyesight grocery store was actually a shop run by a group of dragons that had turned into human bodies. A man walking out of the inner room of this shop was most likely a dragon as well.

“He is not a dragon or a human,” Sui Xiong said. After slowing down his fighting speed, he could now attempt to see who this new man really was, and he immediately saw a strange scene. “To be honest, I'm also very curious to know who he really is. There was nothing in the armor, and I didn't feel his soul either. In fact, the most impressive thing about him was the sword on his back. ”

“Baster is indeed a good sword,” said the adventurer named Phil with a mechanical voice. “I mean, do you really want to destroy the city of the Thunder-Dragon?”

“Yes, I agree with him! Stop fighting! Stop fighting! ”Kata Palin, trying to help the big man become a mediator. “If you keep fighting, I think the city of the Thunder-Dragon will be completely destroyed before we can determine the winner!”

Cold air enveloped the room, as Sui Xiong and Boss Snow were very good at using cold magic energy. Cold air has made the temperature in the room drop significantly. Everything that was not protected was now covered in thick snow. Looking around, one could see that almost everything was covered in ice.

Palin also realized that there was cold air spreading outside because the magic array covering the grocery store had been damaged during the fight. He could imagine that the air around the grocery store must have gotten very cold. If a villager or adventurer passing through the shop took one breath of cold air, he would feel so cold that his body shivered. In fact, when they speak, they can clearly hear someone sneezing outside.

And this was assuming that the cold air had been restricted inside the house by the magic array. What if the magic array collapsed during the fight and a large amount of cold air spread outside?

Thinking this, Palin could not help but shiver even though she was under the protection of Sui Xiong's magic power.

Moreover, since both sides had their reserves, that fight would probably escalate. Palin had heard the story of how Gerrard was saved by Void Faceless from Gerrard himself. Void Faceless turned into a huge ash creature floating in the sky, each of its tentacles as thick and as strong as a mountain. His enemy was a terrifying monster that had turned the entire forest into his body. Almost every tree is a doppelganger and its tentacles.

The fight was so fierce that even the wind and clouds had changed their colors. The mountains were razed to the ground, the forest was burned to ashes and the ground was covered with deep ravines. Moreover, when the Faceless Void and the monster fought, it consequently illuminated the shadow field where there was only an eternal night; even that shadow field was as bright as day.

If Void Faceless fought extremely big with the three dragons as well as Phil the Armored Demon, who was famous in the four cities in the northwest, the scene might be even worse than the one on the shadow plane. It can be as impressive as a blockbuster and many innocents will die and cold air may leak everywhere. When the fight was over, perhaps only ten percent of the population in the Thunder-Dragon city would survive. This can only happen when both sides try very hard not to exert their full strength and the survivors will be very lucky.

Of course, the kind witch did not want to see this happen, so she tried her best to persuade them not to fight. He says all he can and exhausts all the negotiation tactics he has learned from his old uncle, Soth.

Thanks to Phil's efforts and persuasion, the three who are still struggling finally agree to stop and sit at the negotiating table. The three decided to settle this by talking instead of fighting.

Immediately, the cold air covering the grocery store was absorbed and the three who had fought were now sitting at a table. Apart from the ice left on the floor, it was hard to see any traces of the terrifying fights that could annihilate an entire village.

The three of them stopped their fighting behavior and returned to normal.

Of course, the three dragons were no longer disguised as ordinary people. They appeared how they should look when a dragon turned into a human form.

Since they already understood the idea of fighting, they thought it was basic behavior to show their true appearance when facing a God.
