Ancestor Dian Alstreim looked towards Tirea Snow, wondering if she would help him if he were to change the plan to be aggressive against the Aqua Flood Dragon instead of the initial defensive plan. However, even without having to think too far, he instantly shook his head in a rueful manner.

'She isn't the same old Tirea Snow you once knew... She is... a powerhouse from another power! Don't rely on her!' His subconscious warned him to be careful as it yelled at him.

Ancestor Tirea Snow gained distance upon seeing that the Aqua Flood Dragon and Dian Alstreim were finally going to come to a truce, but hearing their conversation that ended up failing to achieve anything other than further aggravation, she became disappointed. She flew into the fray again and waved her hand, large quantities of ten-meter thick icicles forming around her.

With a whoosh, the icicles flew and struck the Aqua Flood Dragon's scales, but a bluish aqua light emerged on its scales, managing to block the icicles from harming its body. The icicles shattered upon impact but more was launched by her. She started to harass it again with Dian Alstreim.

However, this time, she clearly maintained her distance as she knew that their tactics wouldn't work twice.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim kept a safe distance and attacked with his crimson fire that tried to scorch the Aqua Flood Dragon to irritation, but sure enough, five minutes later, he abruptly got struck by the tail!

"Crap!"

He didn't know from where the tail came at him, but for a moment, it seemed to disappear from one place to another in the misty fog!

Ancestor Tirea Snow retreated towards the barrier as she saw Dian Alstreim be sent flying towards the distance like a kite that had its strings cut.

She didn't go to help him. She was just here for defense and support. She retreated as soon as she saw the Aqua Flood Dragon shooting an extremely angered and cold look of warning at her. She wasn't intimidated but felt that if she handles it far more than required, then it would become dangerous for her as she would be completely offending it.

She mused that the Aqua Flood Dragon clearly knew that she and Dian Alstreim were from different powers as it was able to think for itself, but it didn't seem to have the brain to converse.

Or, it should be better said that it had no intention to converse.

One of Aqua Flood Dragon's two long horns over its head was also encased by ice while the other was scorched in flames. Its scales were badly damaged, and some of the layers of skin were also pierced, making it bleed. These were mostly from the harassment of the two powerful humans she faced.

However, its capability or its prowess didn't even drop a bit. In fact, the places that were injured were already starting to heal by itself.

Realizing that the woman had no intention of attacking it, the Aqua Flood Dragon turned to look at the Volcanic Crystal Wall Barrier as its body moved towards it in an instant. Now, it was its turn to make the Grand Alstreim City know the meaning of what a flood is!

Ancestor Dian Alstreim, who tried to regain balance, was unable to as he was sent flying in the opposite direction. The force of the attack was just too strong for him to forcefully stabilize himself as the Aqua Flood Dragon cleverly maneuvered and took his back, skillfully slamming the tail at him, sending him flying towards the distance.

It was clear to him that the Aqua Flood Dragon aimed for this as it didn't even come after him after separating him from the range of the Eight Ashfall Arms Formation and the Volcanic Crystal Wall Barrier.

"Tirea, protect the barrier!" He frantically yelled....

Ancestor Tirea Snow frowned at being called intimately by him again. She looked at the Aqua Flood Dragon pierce through the air with its jaws open wide as energy could be sensed brewing within its throat, ready to unleash havoc upon the barrier.

Perhaps, the barrier might hold or might not, and it wasn't something she should worry about. She had already retreated and stood by the side, intent on not trying to offend the Aqua Flood Dragon. However, without realizing it, she moved before her body disappeared in a heartbeat.

Nethersnow Mirage Steps!

When she reappeared, she was right beside the long body of the Aqua Flood Dragon with a magnificent yet icy sword that glowed with a frosty intent in her hand!

*Bzz!~*

She ruthlessly cut down with all her essence energy wrapped around the icy sword, and a fifty-meter deep gash was sliced open on the Aqua Flood Dragon.

*Roar!!!~*

The Aqua Flood Dragon let out a scream of pain and flipped its tail right around the place where it got cut! The tail ruthlessly struck out, but by that point, Ancestor Tirea Snow had already retreated again, hiding while using her High-Level Emperor Grade Movement Technique, Nethersnow Mirage Steps!

Ancestor Dian Alstreim smiled in glee as he became ecstatic that she responded, "Tirea!"

He regained balance right when Tirea Snow slashed her sword at the Aqua Flood Dragon and was on the return. However, he saw Tirea Snow's faint silhouette leave the battlefield while a soul transmission fell in his mind.

"That's all the I can give, Dian Alstreim. I can't further aggravate the Aqua Flood Dragon anymore..."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim pursed his lips, becoming confused. He didn't know what was running in her mind for her to act in a strange manner, and he didn't have the time to ponder on it as well. He used the Earth Smiting Searing Flame Step and quickly arrived before the Aqua Flood Dragon.

*Roar!!!~*

Losing sight of the woman it wanted to crush, the Aqua Flood Dragon became enraged and turned back to target Ancestor Dian Alstreim. Its body undulated as water attributed energy surged out from its body. It was as if all the water was sucked out of its body, but there wasn't any kind of bloating or shrinking changes to its body!

All that water-attributed energy turned into a huge tidal wave! It was like a tsunami that was about to capsize a kilometer long-ship in the air into the bottom of the endless ocean!

Ancestor Dian Alstreim clenched his teeth as he extended his hands towards the colossal water attack. A blazing flame wheel had already formed in front of him, its size alone reaching two kilometers in diameter!

The moment the enormous flood came at him, he unleashed the High-Level Emperor Grade Battle Technique, Twisting Blaze Ash Wheel! It was the higher version of the technique which Nora Alstreim cast at Logan while sacrificing her blood essence! However, that had just reached two hundred meters while his technique that was formed from his ninth stage essence energy reached two thousand meters in diameter!

The Twisting Blaze Ash Wheel began to spin as crimson-black volcano ashes began to spread. A million wisps of flames that formed to coalesce a sea of flames erupted from the flaming wheel, coming into direct contact with the huge tidal wave that came at him!
