Guardians of Ice and Flame

"Ding! You have entered the 'Ice Guardian' dungeon."

As the system prompt sounded, Shen Feng was transported to the third stage of the dungeon. At this moment, the dungeon environment had changed into a world of ice and snow. In the midst of this icy world, a colossal ice statue stood majestically. Inside the ice statue, a knight clad in blue armor, holding an ice crystal longsword, stood within.

Shen Feng immediately cast a scouting spell.

**Ice Knight (Legendary Rank BOSS)**
**Level:** Lv50
**HP:** [HP]
**Attack:** 7777
**Defense:** [Defense] (99% immunity to frozen status)
**Skills:** Overlord Attack, Freezing Sword Qi, Ice Dragon's Rupture Strike, Frost Aura, Ice Shield.
**Description:** The BOSS guarding the third stage of the Trial of the King, capable of releasing Ice-attribute magic. Prolonged exposure to the icy environment will turn creatures into ice statues.

The BOSS data quickly appeared before Shen Feng's eyes. After synchronizing the data to the live stream channel, he began to explain.

"This BOSS stage is a major test of a player's burst damage capability, because under the BOSS's Frost Aura, players and summoned creatures will turn into ice statues in just 10 seconds. Moreover, the BOSS's Ice-attribute magic damage is extremely high and its range is very large. If you get crowd-controlled, you could very likely be instantly killed. So, everyone must buy some potions to remove abnormal status effects when doing this dungeon."

However, Shen Feng was not worried about his own damage, and his Dark Demonic Dragons were unaffected by this abnormal attribute. He could use dark demonic flames to dispel the frozen state.

......

As soon Feng's words fell, the ice statue in the center began to slowly tremble. With a "bang", the ice statue shattered, and the Ice Knight charged towards Shen Feng. The initial ice shards now transformed into five ice spikes, flying towards the surrounding summoned creatures.

Immediately after, a system prompt sounded.

"Ding! You are affected by Frost Aura. You will enter a frozen state in 10 seconds. Your defense in the frozen state increases by 50%. The frozen state lasts for 5 seconds."

As soon as the system prompt ended, five ice spikes flew at extreme speed towards the surrounding summoned creatures. The moment the ice spikes touched the summoned creatures, a large amount of cold air emanated, freezing all the summoned beasts in place.

At this moment, the ice-frost longsword in the Ice Knight's hand also unleashed a blue sword light, sweeping towards Shen Feng. Seeing this, Shen Feng dared not be careless, commanding a Dark Demonic Dragon to tilt its body and dodge the attack.

Immediately, Shen Feng controlled another Dark Demonic Dragon to unleash dragon flame towards the frozen summoned creatures on the ground, while he, on the back of a Dark Demonic Dragon, cast a summoning skill.

"Summon Spirit King - Yi Jia Bella."

A five-colored magic array formed, and ten floating figures slowly emerged from the array. His luck was good; the equipment's special effect of +1 summoned creature was activated, summoning 10 Spirit King - Yi Jia Bella at once.

At this moment, the Ice Knight's Frost Aura effect was about to take hold. Shen Feng commanded Spirit King - Yi Jia Bella to cast the 'Spirit King's Shield' skill towards the dungeon area below. Streaks of radiant light barriers appeared around Shen Feng and all his summoned creatures. Everyone temporarily entered an invincible state, unaffected by any negative effects.

Immediately after, the initial summoned beasts on the ground broke free from the ice and rushed to attack the Ice Knight. The Ice Knight cast an Ice Shield, which blocked a few attacks before shattering, while the flying ice spikes could not attack the summoned beasts in their invincible state. The Ice Knight was only a Legendary Rank BOSS; it had no other choice but to wait for its skills to cool down.

"Is that an area-of-effect invincible skill?"

A guild member asked in the chat screen. Shen Feng immediately shared the skill status. After sharing, a group of guild members gasped in cold air. Other people's invincible skills were usually short-lived, lasted for a very short time, and had very long cooldowns. But the guild master's summoned creatures were different; each one had an area-of-effect skill. When one summoned creature finished casting, the next one continued. He could also refresh summoned creatures to have them continue casting skills. Unless they encountered an Epic Rank creature or higher, no one could break through the shield. It was truly terrifying, sending shivers down one's spine.

......

At this moment, the summoned creatures, in their invincible state, under Shen Feng's buff skills, launched a frantic assault on the Ice Knight. Not long after, the Ice Knight, under the concentrated attacks of a large number of skills, turned into ice shards and disappeared on the vast ice field. Shen Feng also, with his summoned creatures, reappeared at the next stage.

......

"Ding! You have entered the 'Flame Guardian' dungeon."

At this moment, the surrounding environment changed once again. From the initial world of ice and snow, it had transformed into a World of Flames that filled the eyes. As soon as Shen Feng entered the fourth stage, a system prompt sounded.

"Ding! You are in a Flame Burning state, losing 100 HP per second. This effect lasts until you clear this stage."

Damage numbers continuously appeared around all summoned creatures and above Shen Feng's head. Even the Dark Demonic Dragons in the air showed damage. This was different from Earth Flame Su De Er in that this flame damage affected the entire room, but fortunately, the damage value was not too high; 100 damage per second could be ignored with just a few healing spells from the Holy Light Spirit.

However, the players watching from the first-person perspective on the live stream channel were not calm.

"This is a bit tricky. Losing 100 HP per second. I, a full-HP knight, only have five thousand HP. Doesn't that mean I have to defeat it within fifty seconds? This is too damn difficult."
"Yeah, it's too monstrous. I feel like I need to bring a big-breasted Priest with me."
"Do you see the guild master's little-winged summoned creature? Doesn't it look like a 36E sister?"
"Oh my god, it really does. I really want to replace the healer girl in my team."

......

At this moment, at the center of the stage, the figure of a knight wreathed in flames appeared.

**Flame Knight (Legendary Rank BOSS)**
**Level:** Lv50
**HP:** [HP]
**Attack:** 8888
**Defense:** [Defense] (99% immunity to petrified state)
**Skills:** Overlord Attack, Sword Qi, Blazing Fire Slash, Lava Bomb, Flame Cross Slash.
**Description:** The BOSS guarding the fourth stage of the Trial of the King, possessing powerful Fire-attribute attacks. Taking multiple attacks will trigger a Great Flame Explosion.

As soon as the scouting spell data was transmitted, a fiery red figure charged towards Shen Feng. In this stage, one only needed to maintain a safe distance from the Flame Knight, because as long as one got close to the Flame Knight, whether player or summoned creature, a Flame Bomb mark would appear on them. If 5 Flame Bomb marks appeared on a target, it would trigger an explosion. If Shen Feng remembered correctly, each bomb dealt five thousand true damage, totaling 25 thousand, which could basically instantly kill a Lv50 player, of course, except for a cheat like Shen Feng.

Thus, Shen Feng maintained his distance from the Flame Knight, commanding a large number of summoned creatures to attack the Flame Knight. Although the summoned creatures would take some damage, and even some low-level summoned creatures would die unexpectedly, Shen Feng had an infinite supply of summoned creatures as long as he had mana.

A few minutes later, under the group assault of a horde of summoned creatures, the Flame Knight's HP bar dwindled, turning into molten rock and disappearing. Shen Feng was also subsequently transported to the fifth stage, which was the final stage before encountering the final BOSS.
