But in the next second, the situation dramatically changed!
Commander Gorash of the Frost Giants launched himself high into the air with a heavy push from the sprinting mammoth beneath him.
Yet the mammoth let out a mournful cry; the tank-like body couldn't withstand the recoil of Gorash's leap, and its four pillar-like legs plunged straight into the hard, frozen surface of the age-sealed Ice Lake, as if driven by a pile driver.
"Roar!"
Using the mammoth's momentum, Commander Gorash roared in the air, leaping a full twenty to thirty meters like a descending god towards Gregory and the scattered Royal Guards, hewing with his bone axe as he landed.
"Boom!!!"
It was as if a real meteor had fallen from the sky onto the Ice Lake.
A huge crater suddenly appeared on the previously smooth ice surface, with numerous webs of cracks spreading outward.
Even more deadly, ice shards like bullets, followed by air waves, shot out at high speed, instantly blasting away everyone nearby.
