478: Chapter 478 I'm Doing It All for Your Own Good

Chen You stood in the distance, the corner of his mouth twitching.

This scene was truly impactful.

"Oh, damn..."

The Real struggled and slid down from the ice pit, clutching his chest, his tone full of confusion: "This mount has quite the temper. Does it still need to be tamed?"

The Frost Dragon turned around, its heavy footsteps landing on the ice with a sound like metal scraping.

It walked up to The Real, looking down at the ant wearing the frozen crown.

A puff of white air mixed with ice and snow sprayed from its nostrils, directly blowing The Real back two steps.

"We're on the same side! I'm your master!" The Real panicked, pointing at the frozen crown on his head and shouting, "See that? The crown! I summoned you!"

A hint of violence flashed in the Frost Dragon's eyes.

It opened its bloody maw, revealing interlocking sharp ice teeth, and bit down at The Real.

"Damn! You're playing for real!"

The Real was so scared he closed his eyes, hugging his head and squatting on the ground.

Just as the dragon's teeth were about to touch his body, the frozen crown erupted with a blinding, ghostly light.

A thick, translucent ice shield formed instantly, protecting him firmly inside.

Crack!

The Frost Dragon's sharp teeth bit into the ice shield, making a deafening cracking sound.

But the ice shield only developed a few cracks on the surface and did not collapse.

"Hahahaha!"

Having escaped death, The Real became arrogant again.

He stood up, pointing at the Frost Dragon's nose from behind the ice shield and cursing: "Bite! Go ahead and bite! I have an invincibility shield! You broken mount, how dare you bite your master? Do you believe I'll fire you?"

The Frost Dragon was completely enraged.

It raised its thick front claws and began a frantic, continuous barrage against the ice shield.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The entire hall trembled under this terrifying power.

The Real, along with his shield, was batted around on the ice like a ball.

"Stop hitting! I'm dizzy! I'm going to throw up!"

"Brother Dragon! Give me some face! My brother is still watching on the side!"

"Help me, big shot!"

Chen You stood outside the safe distance, arms crossed, quietly watching the farce between the man and the dragon.

Five minutes later.

The Frost Dragon seemed to have tired itself out and stopped attacking.

It stared at the ice shield, which was covered in cracks but refused to shatter, a flash of irritation in its eyes.

The Real slumped in the ice shield, dizzy and without the strength to stand up.

"See... see if you're still arrogant..." he said weakly, trying to sound tough.

Chen You sighed.

The farce should end.

He had already figured out the mechanics.

This Frost Dragon was not a summoned beast at all, but an independent individual awakened by the aura of the frozen crown.

To get the hidden drop, one had to deal with both the man and the dragon.

Chen You gripped the yuhuang sword and flicked his wrist.

"Divine Firmament Heavenly Thunder Orthodox Method."

He spat out the six words in a low voice.

Above the hall, the cold air that had been permeating the space was instantly torn apart by a violent, destructive aura.

Purple thunder gathered out of thin air at the dome, turning into a surging sea of lightning.

Blinding electric light illuminated every corner, turning the eternal black ice into an eerie purple.

The Frost Dragon suddenly raised its head, its vertical pupils constricting.

It felt a fatal threat.

The Frost Dragon gave up on The Real on the ground and turned to face Chen You.

It opened its mouth wide, and a blinding blue light lit up deep in its throat; a breath of extreme cold capable of freezing souls was brewing frantically.

Chen You was expressionless.

He raised his left hand, pointing his sword finger directly at the Frost Dragon's massive body.

"Fall."

Boom—!

A bolt of purple heavenly thunder tore through the air, carrying the power to destroy everything, covering a range of tens of meters, and struck the Frost Dragon's head with precision.

The breath of extreme cold had not yet been released when it was forcibly suppressed back by the violent lightning.

The Frost Dragon let out a shrill scream, its massive body completely swallowed by the lightning.

The hard frost scales instantly exploded under the high temperature of the heavenly thunder, turning into white steam filling the air.

The lightning's momentum did not diminish; it spread along the ice and slammed directly onto The Real's ice shield.

Crack.

The shield, which even the Frost Dragon could not shatter, instantly filled with cracks under the bombardment of the heavenly thunder and shattered with a bang.

"Big shot! I'm on your side—!"

The Real's scream was drowned out by the thunder.

The lightning dissipated.

The Frost Dragon's massive body collapsed with a bang, smashing a large area of the ice layer.

Its health bar was instantly emptied, turning into countless ice-blue light particles and dissipating into the air.

Only a huge deep pit remained on the spot.

At the edge of the pit, The Real was charred all over, his hair standing on end, and black smoke coming out of his mouth.

Only a sliver of health remained on his health bar.

He turned his head sluggishly, looking at Chen You walking over slowly, his voice trembling: "Big... big shot... your damage... are you hacking..."

Chen You walked up to him, looking down at him.

Chen You squatted down.

His expression was serious, and his eyes revealed undisguised heartache.

"Brother, you've suffered."

The Real was stunned.

He tried to sit up, but his charred muscles wouldn't obey him at all.

Chen You pointed to the top of his head.

"Check your status bar yourself."

The Real struggled to bring up the system panel.

His gaze swept across the top right corner, and his pupils contracted sharply.

The originally green player ID had turned into a glaring blood red.

"Damn! How did I become a monster!" The Real panicked.

Chen You sighed, his tone pained.

"That frozen crown is not a job transfer item at all; it is the curse core of an ancient evil god."

"Once you put it on, you are assimilated by the dungeon! That Frost Dragon just now was not your mount; it was here to possess you."

The Real widened his eyes.

"Then... then how do I change back? I don't want to be a monster!"

"There is only one way." Chen You stood up, looking down at him, "Physical exorcism."

The Real shrank back.

"Don't! Big shot! I'll lose experience if I die!"

Chen You raised his sword expressionlessly.

"Ten gold coins, come find me at the dungeon entrance to collect."

The Real's eyes lit up instantly.

"Big shot is generous!" He instantly puffed out his chest and closed his eyes.

"Come on! Cut my head, make it quick!"

Chen You nodded and flicked his wrist.

The sword light flashed by.

The Real's health bar, which only had a sliver left, was instantly emptied.

His body turned into a dazzling white light and dissipated on the spot.

A pile of glowing loot was left on the ground.

He walked forward, not looking much at the equipment and materials, but first picking up two special items.

[Sealed City Lord's Seal]: Special item. The City Lord of Aurora City will be very happy to see it.

[Fragment of the Ancestor of the Meng Clan's Journal]: Records a secret past.

Chen You took out the [Fragment of the Ancestor of the Meng Clan's Journal] and glanced at it.

It only had one sentence on it: "I left her at the bottom of Aurora City; this is the punishment for her betrayal."
