Chapter 40
Crushing
The polar bear did not have a dynamic vision, but as a magical creature at the top of the food chain, its outstanding instinctive reaction allowed it to see Garen’s figure at the last second. However, it was too late to defend now. Garen’s sharp dragon claws were already close.
Slash!
The dragon claw pierced through the shoulder of the Northern Violent Bear, tearing through its fur and flesh and entering its bones.
Bang!
The body of the Northern Violent Bear was sent flying. Garen grabbed its shoulder and sent it flying hundreds of meters, leaving a long ravine in the snow-covered ground. It let out an unbearable painful howl and continuously struggled.
After coming back to its senses, the bear raised its claw high, but it did not slap Garen. Instead, it landed heavily on the ground.
In an instant, a large amount of elemental power gathered and surged on the ground, as irritable as a volcano that was about to erupt.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Thick ice spikes more than ten meters long rose from the ground and erupted from the body of the Northern Violent Bear. They pierced through the air and stabbed towards Garen’s body.
A thick ice spike collided with the dragon scales on Garen’s body and broke with a metal-like collision.
Garen let go of his dragon claw at the same time and instantly left the area where the elemental energy erupted.
His defense was not weak. The dragon scales that were attacked only had some cracks but did not break.
However, the defense of the dragon wings was slightly weaker.
It was not worth it to be injured by the other party.
After breaking free from his grip, the Northern Violent Bear stood up and roared at Garen angrily. However, the large amount of blood on both sides of its shoulders made its roar sound fierce.
Garen frowned slightly and realized he had underestimated his current strength.
The talent of the Time Dragon was too powerful. He felt that just by relying on the 5x Acceleration, it was enough to crush many powerful magical creatures.
He could deal with the other party without using the newly obtained time ability.
While Garen was thinking, the Northern Violent Bear could not sit still. It ignored its injuries and ran. A layer of ice armor appeared on its body, and its joints were filled with ferocious ice spikes. It took the initiative to charge at Garen.
Garen was a little surprised.
This guy knew that it was not his match, but it still took the initiative to court death?
As expected of Violent Bear, it was indeed irritable enough to not think of escaping.
“I should try my new ability. It’s just a little wasteful.”
Garen did not dodge. He even retracted his dragon wings and took the initiative to land from the sky, appearing directly in front of the movement path of the Northern Violent Bear.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With a weight of at least dozens of tons, when the Northern Violent Bear ran at full speed, it stepped on the ground until it trembled. Every step it took left deep footprints on the ground, and it was aggressive.
Time passed bit by bit. A few seconds later, the Northern Violent Bear raised its foot and stepped into the space 20 meters around Garen.
At this moment, Garen focused his mind as his expression turned serious.
In the next second, an invisible wave burst out from Garen’s body and instantly enveloped the Northern Violent Bear, covering a space of 20 meters.
In this range, everything seemed to have been paused and instantly froze. Only Garen could move freely.
Flying snow, cold wind, ice crystals, voices… and a ferocious-looking Northern Violent Bear whose breathing had stopped.
Outside the frozen area, the snow was still falling. The wind was also whistling and rolling, as if they were two different worlds… However, as long as they entered the area 20 meters around Garen, they would instantly stop. This caused a large amount of snow to accumulate at the edge of the stagnant area, showing signs of piling up into a white boundary.
Spell-like ability, Time Stop.
The moment he used Time Stop, Garen’s power of time flowed away at a high speed like a torrent. It was the same for his magic power, but the consumption was lower than the power of time.
Therefore, he was not stunned. He spat out a mouthful of Frost Dragon Breath and shot it straight at the Northern Violent Bear, quickly freezing it.
The motionless bear was now a target, suffering the high damage of the dragon breath at close range.
As Garen moved, the consumption of time power and magic power increased.
He stopped using Time Stop while feeling a bit of heartache.
In an instant, the wind sounded again, and the snowstorm in this small area moved again.
As for the Northern Violent Bear, it did not understand what was happening at all. Its life aura had already weakened to the point of freezing, and it lost the ability to think in the ice crystal. Soon, it died.
Such a death was not painful.
After all, its consciousness was still at the moment when it approached Garen.
“I’m about two years old. The range of influence of Time Stop is 20 meters. It might increase every year by about ten meters.”
“Unfortunately, it can’t be directly used around the target. Perhaps it can be used like that in the future.”
Garen looked at the Northern Violent Bear that had died for no reason and pondered.
The consumption of Time Stop was even higher than when he used the Time Plundering Breath, but the effect was abnormal. As long as the other party was struck, before the power of time was exhausted, Garen could do whatever he wanted. It was a powerful ability that could turn the situation around.
“White Dragon Mother, hehe, I’ll be looking for you soon.”
Garen blinked and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl into a bright smile.
After experiencing the true power of 5x Acceleration and Time Stop, Garen was already certain that the White Dragon Mother who was still a young dragon could not defeat him.
He approached the Northern Violent Bear step by step. Just as Garen planned to enjoy this delicious meal, two weak whimpers mixed in the snow attracted his attention.
He was slightly stunned, then turned around.
At the place where Garen sent the Northern Violent Bear flying, the two small bears that had yet to open their eyes were exposed in the snow. They whimpered, and their dog-sized bodies trembled in the cold wind.
“This…”
Garen’s brows furrowed.
The moment he saw the two little bears, he immediately understood the strange behavior of the Northern Violent Bear.
After all, no matter how bad its temper was, it should have the survival instinct of a living creature.
It took the initiative to charge at Garen probably because he was threatening the bear cubs. It had no choice but to risk its life.
Thinking of this, Garen shook his head and thought of the heartless White Dragon Mother again.
Under the same circumstances, if it was the White Dragon Mother, she would probably not hesitate to fly away to save her life.
The kinship between evil dragons was really too thin.
Garen turned around and walked towards the two Northern Violent Bear cubs. He stretched out his dragon wings and blocked the snow and cold wind, causing the two little fellows to feel less uncomfortable.
The cubs crawled on the ground, pushing away the snow and feeling their way to Garen’s feet.
“The Northern Violent Bear’s intelligence is not high. It’s similar to a Terror Lizard. I can raise it. This little thing doesn’t consume much food.”
Garen grabbed the two cubs and grabbed the frozen body of the Violent Northern Bear with his hind feet. He flapped his dragon wings and flew towards the Ogre Basin.
He did not know any spells like keeping warm so the two cubs might die if they were frozen for a long time. The fur on their bodies was not thick enough and could not provide enough warmth.
There were houses in the Ogre Basin that blocked the wind and bonfires that kept them warm. It was more suitable to place the cubs there.
He could also go see the progress of his new dragon nest.
