Chapter 79 – Fierce Ice Blade

"F...Frost..."

My tongue got all twisted up, "Why are you here? It's so warm in Dragon City, why'd you come down here..."

"Dragon City is way colder than here."

Frost coldly glared at me and said, "Follow me."

"Okay..."

......

I followed Frost out of the small house and we went into the nearby forest.

Frost turned around, looked up and said, "Your growth in strength is indeed very frightening; Dalin was right when he said that you are a person that has potential, but..."

She looked at the "woman" that I was holding and a bit of pink showed up on her solemn face, "But can you just throw away the fake person that you're holding?"

I quickly disposed of it into a nearby ditch, and felt extremely embarrassed, "This...This was just a temporary tactic..."

Frost lightly hmphed, "So I look exactly that that huh?"

"No no, you're a lot more beautiful than that Frost..."

"Is that so?"

"It is..."

"Hmph!"

She then said no more about it and instead deeply stared at me, "Dragon City's strength has to be constantly refilled. Now that you're already strong enough, you don't need to follow Dalin anymore. I hereby decide that I will raise your rank to a member of Dragon City, and I've also arranged a new instructor for you..."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"Just follow me..."

Frost's body flashed, and in the next instant she appeared close enough to touch me. Her beautiful face was right in front of me. She smiled, grabbed my shoulders, and raised me up. Just like that I was being hauled while facing the sky, and she quickly started rock climbing. Damn, when could I do this?

Whoosh!

Suddenly, we passed through the Ice Spine's peak and the freezing wind pounded mercilessly on me. Snowflakes as big as feathers floated in the air and we could see the Dragon City's interior. But we were not going to Dragon City; rather she was heading towards the middle of the Ice Spine! There was a huge cave, and on the map, the area was blood-red. Frost was still hauling me during all this and with a bang, we dropped thousands of meters.

Tick!

System Notification: You have entered the area——【Dragon Tomb】!

......

I was pretty surprised and when I raised my head... right in front of me was an upside down enormous bony skeleton sitting in the middle of nowhere. The ribs were at least 10 meters long, and the bones were slightly glowing. The head was lying down on the ground sinisterly, separated from the body. This was the corpse of a huge dragon and an ancient one at that. Looking at the erosion of the bones, it was at least a thousand years old...

"Frost, this is..." I said in a shocked voice.

Frost glanced at me and smiled, "You probably guessed correctly. This is a dragon's tomb, the place where an ancient dragon clan died. Most dragons that are near death will come here, and silently wait for their end. This area is still under our jurisdiction, so whether or not the dragons can return to here depends on us."

"Okay, what do I need to do?"

Frost smiled, "It's simple. From now on, you are one of the guardians of this dragon tomb. You need to guard these precious dragon bones and protect them from bandits or monsters that want to cause trouble. Also..."
