Chapter 969: The Palace Of Blue Ice
The hulking cockroach growled, swinging his fist at Selena's face.
TAP! She appeared behind the army of hulking cockroaches, licking her bloodied hands, and cleaning her claws. Those claws were too sharp, precise, and deadly. The moment any of the hulking cockroaches moved or breathed, its body fell apart in slices.
"Told you-nya. There are many of you in the seventh layer of hell-nya." She flicked her finger and a hell portal appeared. From it a blue-skinned woman with a nose dangling down to her knees walked out, her massive ears flapping beside her face.
"What's all of this mess?" The woman looked around and her eyes stopped at Selena, "Great Sultan Maharaja, I doubt we need more roaches."
"They stood in my way-nya." Selena scratched her head, "I can't just leave the corpses here- nya, they'll rot and spread diseases-nya. Feed them to the sinners or the hellhounds-nya." "And you can drop the nya..." The woman sighed, "The overgod isn't here."
"Sorry! Sorry, it's a habit at this point." She cracked her neck, "See you later Guda." Selena jumped away as she followed the tracks, leaving poor Guda with a massive mess to clean. Guda looked back at the gate and waved her long nose, ten massive minotaur-like devils walked out, dragging massive carts with black chains. "General Guda." One of them walked forward and bowed, "We're at your service."
"Clean up those corpses and make sure not a single drop of blood is left." Guda replied with a tired face, "It's Maharaja's orders."
"The sultan?" The minotaur-like devil gasped, "She was here? Which one?"
"The young one. The older one should be on a mission." Guda walked toward the gate, "Even I don't know the details. So don't start sniffing around, unless you want the overgod to skin you alive."

Isdis's Abominable Yeti jumped sky-high with her still latched on his back, running from the frenzied white dragon chasing them across the forest. Kory chased them everywhere, ripping trees out of their roots with each of her steps.
The wolves and yetis ran at Kory's side as they awaited Isdis's signal to attack. Kory didn't seem to pay them any mind as she was confident a single slap from her wins would be enough to crush them down.
Isdis knew that besides the Abominable Yeti, no monster in this forest could keep up with an adult white dragon, and even the Abominable Yeti could barely run away, let alone fight.
"Why are you running?" Kory growled behind them, her massive maw cracking open with a deafening roar, shaking the whole forest.
Isdis looked back, seeing Isbert silently standing on Kory's head, looking down at her with indifference. This chase had been going for at least several minutes, why wasn't she attacking?
Suddenly, Isbert lifted her right foot and stepped over Kory's right horn, grabbing onto it with her toes. She did the same with her left foot, ending up standing on Kory's horns, "I'm taking control of your magic, blast them with a breath weapon." She said.
Kory gasped, feeling a painful headache piercing her head, it was like her two horns had become sore teeth and her brain had frozen. A dragon's horns are extremely durable and sturdy, they are in no way sensitive, yet with Isbert stepping on them, they felt like two ice spikes piercing Kory's head.
Kory started charging her breath, and Isbert adjusted the power so it wouldn't immediately kill Isdis and the Abominable Yeti, she didn't trust Kory to have such a delicate touch.
With a white flash, a violent storm of frigid snow and sharp ice shards burst forth from Kory's throat, ripping the ground apart and freezing the trees solid.
Isdis waved her hands and spawned two small drums and a warhorn in her mouth, she blew the horn and started drumming, sending the Abominable Yeti into a blind rage. He howled, drumming on his chest as he jumped forward, swinging from a tree as he lunged back at Kory's breath.
The Abominable Yeti curled into a ball as he tanked Kory's breath and flew right through it, Isdis barely hiding on his back. He latched on Kory's face, roaring at her eye as he clenched a fist and punched her right in the face.
before?"
"It's him, Arad Orion. This is his wife." Isbert started walking toward her throne as Gamond giggled, "Are you serious? I can't sense a slither of power from her...how did she manage to get him?" Gamond approached her throne, "May I get my vacation? I've got some urgent
business to take care of."
"Arad is training with Lilia. Unless you want to be her dormant, I suggest you hold still." Isdis looked at one of her maids who was standing in the corner.
"I tried to sneak a peak at her ice experiment when she was here. I spent a decade being naked
and strapped to the ground of her hallway. I can't tell how many times she walked on me." The maid replied with a pained face.
"That one is a great wyrm like you." Isbert put one leg on another, "Don't get in trouble with
Lilia."
"Come on, my queen. I'm not that stupid..." She giggled, "We'll, I may be a bit dumb, but not
to that point. I'll go check on my old friend and see what she's doing. I've got some intel that
she could help me with."
"Mom!" Kory glared at her, "You're a mother!" She growled.
"Your father was as weak as the one before, didn't even last a second before I ate him."
Gamond replied with a sad face. The mating/marriage ritual of dragons always includes a fight to determine the result.
If the male loses, the female has three options, leave, accept him as a mate and she'll be the dominant one, or mate with him, and eat him right after like most spiders do. As a maid close to the ice queen, Gamond got a lot of marriage proposals, Kory's father showed promise, but The sadly lost in the fight. As a respect to his power, she did the deed with him and ate him
right after.
"Fine go, but I won't save you if you end up in trouble." Isbert sighed and Gamond
disappeared.

Gamond appeared inside an old cave in the mortal world, looking at the terrified kobolds that
just saw her appear out of nowhere.
Gamond looked forward with a smile, "It's been a while, Claug. Still stuck in that ugly
draconic body of yours?"
