Chapter 1782: Frost Domain, Visitors from the Seven Towers

Meanwhile, after the breath attack, rough, scrawled blue patterns also emerged on the surface of the giant axe in Kunting's hand.

It was just that Kaxiu did not use his giant axe to meet Kunting's shield head-on; instead, the moment Kunting entered the range of his breath attack and his speed slowed due to the influence of the freezing domain, Kaxiu shouted again.

Only this time, it was not for a breath attack, but to gather strength; the next moment, he swung the giant axe in a high-speed turn.

The timing was perfect!

If he had been a moment slower, he might have been struck by Kunting's lightning-clad shield before he could fully swing the giant axe; and if he had been a moment faster, he might have swung past just before Kunting arrived, exposing his back to Kunting.

If it were just a shield bash, or even accompanied by a hammer blow, Kaxiu's powerful physique would be enough to sustain him until he recovered, or even counterattack.

But at this moment, Kunting had already activated elemental power, and it was the lightning element, which is difficult for a Frost Giant to resist, so Kaxiu naturally did not want to reveal the slightest flaw.

He performed very steadily this time, so the pressure shifted back to Kunting.

If he continued the charge, he would be unable to dodge in mid-air and would inevitably be hit by Kaxiu's Whirlwind Slash; even with heavy armor protection, it would definitely be a major blow to the ensuing battle.

Although he already knew that Kaxiu was rich in combat experience, Kunting still felt heavy pressure continuously emanating from the tall figure in front of him.

Time did not allow him to continue considering; with a movement of Kunting's will, the lightning covering his body fluctuated, and the next moment Kunting disappeared into thin air, reappearing nearly a hundred paces behind Kaxiu.

However, although the space jump allowed Kunting to avoid the fate of the giant axe, the impact force accumulated from his previous flight also vanished.

Kunting, shrouded in lightning, showed no expression, but from the heavy hammer he raised again, it could be seen that he had not given up and took to the air once more to launch an assault.

Facing Kunting's renewed attack, because the distance had increased, Kaxiu had more time to prepare; he was seen slamming the giant axe into the ground with force.

Subsequently, a bit of cold air continuously dissipated from the rough, scrawled blue runes on the surface of the giant axe, spreading in all directions.

It seemed he wanted to fill the entire Jiaodouchang with cold air.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo was thoughtful; the battle between the two sides on the field was no longer just a physical struggle, and he could see that the Dwarf warrior Kunting had begun to use Magic.

It was just that Dwarven Magic required the aid of special Fuwu Magic Artifacts to be cast; without them, it seemed Dwarven spellcasting would be very difficult.

Kunting's Fuwu Magic Artifact should be that pitch-black heavy hammer; Xia Duo had previously seen Buloutuo use something similar in the Dwarf smithy in the Savile Territory when forging Dragon Hunting Runes.

It was just that the hammer in Kunting's hand was clearly much more advanced than Buloutuo's.

As for that Kaxiu, it was entirely a Bloodline Ability, lacking the almost unavoidable sense of order found in Magic, but instead filled with imaginative change.

If one were to insist on recording it, it could entirely be recorded as countless Frost Spells.

From Xia Duo's current perspective, this type of Bloodline Ability was closer to a collection of specific solutions for Frost Spells within the Energy Equation Spell framework.

It was just that compared to artificially summarized and created Equation Spells, the agility advantage of innate abilities like bloodlines could not be ignored.

Therefore, in high-end Spell Duels, complete spells were generally only used to seal the deal, while the truly intense confrontation was instead Element-level unformed spells.

Although they were unformed spells, if one side ignored them, the other side would immediately evolve them into complete spells and then seal the deal.

In Bloodline Spell combat, every thought and every attack was a new spell; the only shortcoming was likely that the elements the bloodline could influence via Magic Net Strings were very limited.

For ordinary people, this shortcoming could be completely ignored, and one could achieve a crushing effect.

But if one were to face an old Mage well-versed in Spell Duels, this shortcoming would be infinitely magnified, and it would likely be more than just being beaten up.

Regarding this battle on the field, although Xia Duo did not know if Kaxiu had fought a Dwarf Mage before, from the perspective of a Mage versus a Sorcerer, Kunting should have the better odds of winning.

However, Xia Duo was also unsure of Kunting's understanding of Spell Duels, and since the current battle was not entirely a Spell Duel, it was hard to say what the result would be.

As for the other stands, Kaxiu's fans were clearly more numerous than Kunting's; although most of what these spectators shouted was in Dwarven Language, it was also mixed with some Elvish.

This allowed Xia Duo to understand Kaxiu's abilities from the sidelines—

Frost Domain!

This should be the combat method Kaxiu was currently demonstrating, filling the Jiaodouchang with a large amount of cold air, not only affecting Kunting's Movement speed but also interfering with the opponent's spells.

And Kaxiu himself, within the Frost Domain, not only did not have his speed reduced but actually increased it, and even his agility improved significantly.

Moreover, the snowflakes drifting in the domain also seemed to possess a certain offensive capability; Kunting kept his body shrouded in lightning almost every moment, and whenever a snowflake approached, a thin, long bolt of lightning would jump from the lightning to annihilate it.

At this moment, with snowflakes flying on the field, Kunting had to constantly annihilate the approaching snowflakes, which made his current image look more like a lightning sea urchin covered in lightning spikes, charging back and forth in the air.

The target, of course, was only one: the giant Kaxiu standing in the center of the Frost Domain.

Regarding Kunting's suddenly changed combat style, Kaxiu appeared to have fallen into an almost completely passive state, only able to take hits and occasionally counterattack, which Kunting would dodge in the form of a space jump.

But from the cheers and shouts of the spectators in the stands, Xia Duo could still hear the variables, and he was even more expectant of the subsequent changes.

Watching the snowflakes flying in the Frost Domain on the field gradually show a trend of evolving into an Ice Storm, Xia Duo was thoughtful; Kaxiu had never given up on counterattacking, and it looked like the key to reversing the situation might lie in this Frost Domain.

"Lord Xia Duo!"

Silent Sending!

Xia Duo's heart stirred, and he looked toward the spiral staircase at the exit of the stands, seeing the Dwarf Mage who had just received him walking up with Badijiaer.

Seeing Badijiaer, Xia Duo immediately lost interest in watching the duel on the field; he stood up and nodded in greeting, and only after the Dwarf left and Badijiaer took his seat did he cast a Soundproof Barrier on the stands and asked:

"This place was chosen by Xierdalanna, right? We have already arrived; why hasn't she arrived yet?"

"It was indeed chosen by her, but the Seven Towers has no direct contact with her; perhaps there was a misunderstanding by the intermediary?"

Badijiaer also frowned; he truly did not expect that after arriving here, he would not see Xierdalanna. Seeing Xia Duo looking as if he had been there for a long time, Badijiaer also asked Xia Duo:

"Then what about you, Lord Xia Duo? Haven't you tried contacting her?"

"I contacted her, no reply," Xia Duo said irritably.

He had used the Magic Net Background Communication spell to send a message to inquire; this spell allowed one to know the recipient's status, and being "read and ignored" was even more infuriating.
