I strained every fiber to keep my composure! At the very least, I couldn't let its sheer presence overwhelm me.
Years of constant warfare had forged in me a psychological fortitude of the highest order! This allowed me to regain my calm almost instantly!
The sound wave attack from the giant earlier having failed left no doubt in my mind: beyond its terrifying strength, the Snow Realm Colossus possessed astonishing defense. Face-to-face confrontation offered me little chance of victory!
However, I also noticed that the creature’s speed seemed lacking! Perhaps that was its sole weakness!
My mind raced, swiftly cycling through every feasible tactical option! It seemed I had to rely on my superior speed combined with the mid-to-long range striking power of the Dragon Shadow—a strategy of skirmishing until I could land a decisive blow!
The great beast seemed to understand my intent perfectly! Bearing me, it darted away thirty meters in an instant!
That precise distance was where the Dragon Shadow exerted its maximum effective striking power! Roar!
Roar! The Snow Realm Colossus apparently saw through our strategy as well!
With a furious bellow, it rapidly closed the gap! But having already committed to a plan, we weren't about to let it approach easily!
The great beast moved like a lithe spirit cat, using its extraordinary speed and agile reactions to constantly maintain a thirty-meter buffer zone between us and the Colossus during its advances and retreats! Meanwhile, I calmly searched for any opening in the Snow Realm Colossus’s defenses!
Another furious roar erupted! The creature seemed enraged by our evasive tactics; it ceased its pursuit, instead slamming its massive, iron-chained arms down onto the ground!
Crack! Rumble!
With a violent concussion, the cold, hard earth split open to form a massive crater! Even more terrifying were the fragments of stone, each the size of a millstone, that shot out towards us like shrapnel!
The speed was beyond anything I could have imagined! Furthermore, the trajectories of these stones were meticulously calculated; while some flew directly at us, many more dispersed, raining down across the entire thirty-meter radius surrounding me!
In a single glance, I realized these stones perfectly sealed off every retreat route for both myself and the great beast! Incredible—it even had that in its arsenal!
Clearly, my initial analysis contained a fatal flaw; I had never anticipated the Snow Realm Colossus possessing such staggering ranged capabilities! The sky filled with whistling stone rain!
Even with the great beast's speed, a complete evasion was impossible! "All or nothing," I declared, holding nothing back!
The peculiar Dou Qi within my body surged instantly! I unleashed five Dragon Shadows in rapid succession!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Amidst the blurred, sharp whistling sounds!
The five Dragon Shadows instantly intertwined, forming a massive vortex! Clang!
Bang! Crash!
Every incoming stone was sucked into the maelstrom woven by the Dragon Shadows, where they were subsequently ground to dust! This maneuver was the Dragon Shadow Cyclone, integrating both offense and defense!
But even as I shredded these projectiles, the Colossus’s truck-sized mass had already charged forward! Clearly, that was its true objective!
Not daring to delay, I waved my hand and shot out another blue Dragon Shadow! I divided the Dragon Shadow Cyclone into two components: offense and defense!
The red, orange, yellow, green, and cyan shadows formed a defensive system orbiting my body! Rotating and weaving with incredible velocity, much like the blades of a fan, they effortlessly pulverized every stone that approached!
Naturally, any attacker straying into the Cyclone’s perimeter would also be shredded by the rapidly spinning torrent! The incident on the suspension bridge served as the perfect prior demonstration of this!
However, I remained unsure if the Dragon Shadow Cyclone’s offensive power was enough to overcome the Colossus’s incredible defenses! For that reason, I dared not let it close the distance!
The remaining four shadows—blue, violet, black, and white—were dedicated solely to mobile strikes! The blue Dragon Shadow I currently unleashed was intended to gauge whether the Dragon Shadow’s attack could actually harm the Snow Realm Colossus!
The blue streak, swift as lightning! In the blink of an eye, it streaked toward the Colossus’s chest!
Roar! The Snow Realm Colossus roared fiercely, its iron-chained arms sweeping out in a sudden horizontal arc!
The blow perfectly intercepted the blue Dragon Shadow! Clang!
Boom! The violent impact caused the blue Dragon Shadow to detonate instantly!
The resulting explosive shockwave made the Colossus shriek wildly and stagger back several paces! Yet, this was the absolute limit of the Dragon Shadow's offensive capability!
Though disoriented, the Snow Realm Colossus remained completely unharmed! I could scarcely believe it!
The power of the Dragon Shadow still couldn't inflict damage on this monstrous thing! Damn it, time to go all out!
If one isn't enough, nine will follow—I refuse to believe I can't blast you to pieces this way! "Great beast, keep it away at all costs, or we'll both be finished!" Having made up my mind, I decided to risk everything!
I even threw the five defensive shadows into the attack! The great beast gave a muffled roar in response, unleashing its footwork, meticulously managing the distance from the Snow Realm Colossus!
I spurred my Dou Qi to its maximum within my body, while the Dragon Shadow Spear glowed with strange light! Dragon Shadows erupted like bolts of lightning and phantoms, tearing forward wildly!
Since mastering the Dragon Shadow technique, this was only the second time I had unleashed its offensive power to its absolute limit without reservation! The nine-colored Dragon Shadows instantly coalesced into a blurred, weaving, rapidly streaming cluster of missiles!
They assaulted the Demon Colossus with the most ferocious bombardment! The spectacle was utterly magnificent!
For a moment, heaven and earth seemed to change hue, pierced by shrill, breaking-wind cries! The nine shadows soared high, plunged low, darted left and right, and twisted in serpentine paths!
Their astonishing speed and unpredictable trajectories were like lightning sprites darting through a raging storm—impossible to predict or defend against! And the Snow Realm Colossus, firmly entangled by the nine Dragon Shadows, roared like thunder!
I had to admit, its defense was truly formidable! However, the Dragon Shadow attacks were overwhelmingly dense; the Colossus’s head, back, feet, chest, shoulders, and thighs were all targets of the onslaught!
I had never attempted to attack a single target with the Dragon Shadow utilizing such a frenzied offensive pattern and impact frequency! I myself was momentarily stunned by the scene unfolding!
I couldn't imagine what creature could withstand such a mad torrent of Dragon Shadow impact! Although the Colossus moved its iron chains like the wind, blocking numerous direct impacts!
It was still jarred off balance by the shockwaves of the detonations, roaring repeatedly! And when it lost its footing, even more Dragon Shadows struck true!
Its back, head, abdomen, thighs, and chest were repeatedly hammered, causing dazzling bursts of light and dull, heavy concussions! Yet, even after all that, it refused to fall; only now, the successive blows from the Dragon Shadows had etched horrifying gashes across its body!
It was evident that the Dragon Shadow attacks were, in fact, capable of harming it! I realized that by maintaining this level of ferocious firepower, forcing it onto the defensive, I could eventually wear it down to death!
Struck repeatedly! The Snow Realm Colossus roared in utter fury!
It clearly hadn't anticipated that I would resort to such a crazed and unyielding tactic! Aside from desperately parrying, it had absolutely no spare time or capacity to unleash its overwhelming stone rain attack!
However, the Colossus’s defensive capability was certainly eye-opening! It was clearly pushed to its limits!
With a final roar, its snowy-white body suddenly erupted in a strange, brilliant white light, repelling every Dragon Shadow that struck it far away! My heavens!
This thing actually understood Dou Qi!
