Immediately after, the Ice Dragon used its back to forcefully close Igen's large mouth.
The Dragon Flame was forcibly interrupted and couldn't be expelled normally, instead spewing out from between Igen's teeth and nostrils.
This sudden turn of events caught Igen off guard, and his dragon mouth was scorched by the Dragon Flame.
The intense pain made Igen let out an earth-shattering roar; the sound was deafening, and even hundreds of meters away, the people on The Great Wall felt their ears ache.
Just hearing the sound was enough to make one feel the heart-wrenching agony.
The Ice Dragon and Igen, these two behemoths, crashed into each other, engaging in a thrilling and brutal battle.
The fierce battle between the Ice Dragon and Igen was exceptionally intense, with both sides giving their all.
They not only used their sharp fangs and keen claws but also displayed astonishing combat skills.
When Igen and the Ice Dragon fought at close quarters, they not only used common scratching and biting actions, but even more unexpectedly, they were able to use their dragon wings as weapons to hack at each other.
This delicate maneuver required a high degree of flexibility and precise control, and Igen's ability to execute it so skillfully astonished Rayder, who was watching the battle from The Great Wall.
After all, such delicate maneuvers were not something Rayder could command Igen to perform telepathically; they were entirely Igen's own actions.
Considering that Igen was one of the last two dragons to survive in the entire Valyria Ruins, Rayder couldn't help but exclaim that Igen was indeed no ordinary dragon; his combat experience was truly extensive!
Just as Igen and the Ice Dragon were locked in fierce combat, Ghidorah suddenly launched a perfect assist.
Its three lightning-like beams directly pierced through the Ice Dragon's icy body, instantly tearing off the Ice Dragon's wings.
The wingless Ice Dragon lost its balance, began to totter, and seemed on the verge of falling.
However, the Ice Dragon's reaction speed was incredibly fast; in a split second, it opened its mouth and bit down hard on Igen's dragon tail, attempting to drag Igen down with it.
Igen, suffering from this sudden, intense pain, couldn't quickly flap its wings to maintain flight, and by this point, it was already very close to the ground.
Ultimately, Igen was forcibly dragged to the ground by the Ice Dragon.
The battle between the two dragons continued on the ground, their eyes burning with raging fury and intense fighting spirit, as if they wanted to tear each other to shreds.
At this moment, both dragons had transformed into the most ferocious beasts,
Each collision was like a thunderclap, each bite seemed to crunch bones, and each scratch left deep claw marks on the ground,
Accompanied by immense commotion, as if the whole world trembled because of it.
Every time Igen was injured, hot dragon blood would gush from the wound, splattering on the ground with a sizzling sound.
But every time the Ice Dragon was injured, ice crystals scattered, sparkling with a cold light under the sunlight, like countless tiny diamonds sprinkled on the ground.
Although Igen could hear that the heavy defenses were gaining the upper hand in this fierce battle, Rayder knew clearly that the Ice Dragon was, after all, an inanimate object; it would not tire, feel pain, or have any emotional fluctuations.
The longer the battle dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for Igen.
At the same time, a large number of Ghouls began to gather there, swarming towards the battlefield of Igen and the Ice Dragon like a tide.
These Ghouls had ferocious faces and exuded a putrid, nauseating stench.
Although the giant eagles and griffins in the air were hindered by Ghidorah, their sheer numbers temporarily prevented Ghidorah from assisting Igen.
However, the two behemoths fighting a hundred meters away could potentially affect The Great Wall at any moment, which also placed immense psychological pressure on the soldiers on The Great Wall.
Seeing the critical situation, Rayder had no choice but to send Im to help.
Im's departure instantly doubled the pressure on the soldiers on The Great Wall.
Originally, Im could effectively block the aerial Army of Ghouls' attacks, preventing them from directly assaulting the soldiers on The Great Wall from above.
But now, without Im's obstruction, the Army of Ghouls moved unimpeded, launching a fierce assault on the soldiers on The Great Wall directly from the air.
In an instant, the Nights Watch and soldiers on The Great Wall fell into chaos; they fought desperately against the Ghouls, but the Ghouls were too numerous and continuously swarmed in.
The Nights Watch and soldiers on The Great Wall suffered heavy casualties, their numbers rapidly dwindling.
Rayder watched the scene before him, soldiers on The Great Wall changing like a revolving lantern, not one of his comrades able to last more than half an hour.
Some unlucky fellows couldn't even hold out for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, turning into fallen corpses in the blink of an eye.
The Great Wall was almost piled high with bodies, both of Ghouls and humans.
To clear the path for transporting wildfire, the soldiers had no choice but to throw these bodies off The Great Wall.
Due to the raging flames formed by a large amount of wildfire, very few Ghouls outside The Great Wall managed to successfully climb onto The Great Wall.
However, those Ghouls flying from the air became the most troublesome opponents.
Viserys, seeing this situation, was anxious.
He unhesitatingly put Daemon down and immediately arranged for someone to take him for treatment.
Then, he swiftly leaped onto Silverwing, soaring away like a bolt of lightning, filling Im's void.
Above The Great Wall, Silverwing spread its massive wings, soaring across the sky.
Viserys, riding Silverwing, used Dragon Flame to help the soldiers on The Great Wall defend against aerial threats, alleviating their pressure as much as possible.
Just as Im was about to unleash Dragon Flame to assist Igen, suddenly, an ear-splitting dragon roar echoed through the sky.
Accompanying this long roar, a sky-blue Dragon Flame streaked like lightning, intercepting Im's Dragon Flame.
The two powerful Dragon Flames collided violently in the air, creating an earth-shattering roar.
Flames splattered like dazzling fireworks, but the immense energy contained within them sent shivers down one's spine.
The moment Rayder heard the dragon roar, his attention was immediately drawn.
He was astonished to discover that Bloodworm Caraxes, who had just died, had so quickly become a member of the Army of Ghouls.
Caraxes's huge sky-blue pupils and the fiercely burning sky-blue Dragon Flame, as well as the Night King riding on its back,
All pointed to a cruel truth—Caraxes had transformed from a former comrade into an enemy.
Rayder's heart tightened; he realized that Im might be facing immense danger.
