Chapter 1164 Ice Ice Ice
Princess Freliya did not like the look on the human"s face. "Eternal Blizzard!" She mouthed and the already freezing landscape became even colder. Ma.s.sive vortexes of mana appeared in the sky above them and from within them sharp ice spears started shooting down at a rapid speed without any end in sight.
At the same time, the two ice elves on either side burst into action. They swung their swords sending multiple frost sword beams and charged forward toward Liam.
However, when their swords cut through him, he was no longer there. What remained there was just an illusion which disappeared with the attacks.
The two ice elves gasped in shock and intuitively turned towards their princess. But it was already too late. Liam stood right behind the princess as he grabbed one of the ice spears and jammed it straight at her heart.
The princess"s face changed as she did not expect the human being to be completely unaffected by the frozen land they were currently in.
However, that was still not enough to take her. Arghhh! She let out a guttural shout as a barrier appeared in front of her, clearly one that belonged to her armor. Using this split second, she moved away from the human being as fast as she could.
She conjured another torrential downpour of ice spears but once again the human being disappeared. Her silver eyes searched for him in the blizzard but he seemed to appear and disappear at will.
Liam"s images and afterimages were everywhere. Thanks to the illusionary sword skill in his possession, he was able Liam"s images and afterimages were everywhere. Thanks to the illusionary sword skill in his possession, he was able to create this skill by merging three different skills together. A movement skill, the illusion skill, and lastly wind elemental enhancement, extreme speed.
Seeing that the fight was not going the way they had expected, the three ice elves immediately exchanged glances, and the next instant several ice walls started falling from the sky.
Though it appeared to be random, the ice walls eventually locked Liam into a small territory where he was standing face to face with the three of them.
"Ice prison!" One of the elves shouted as the walls began to fortify. New walls emerged that divided them and now Liam was completely enclosed in a small s.p.a.ce with thick rigid ice walls.
The ice walls were also further empowered by the current frozen landscape that the ice elves had created. Liam was locked in one s.p.a.ce unable to move. The nether tendrils from before were unable to even scratch the walls, let alone break it.
Seeing that he was completely walled off, Rastakhan cast the last skill. "Ice Judgement." Multiple ice spears protruded out of the wall and the ground Liam was standing on at the same time.
Ice Walls, Ice Prison, and Ice Judgement were pretty much impossible to beat once they were chained next to next and fortified with highly powerful ice elemental essence.
In the past, the three of them had finished several of their enemies in this manner. Fire elves, earth elves, wind elves, everyone had tried to get out of this attack with respective counter skills from their repertoire but against the freezing frigid cold they had no choice but to get subdued and slaughtered.
These ice walls and ice spears were powerful enough that the earth couldn"t crack them, the fire couldn"t burn them and wind couldn"t slice them. So the ice elves were extremely confident in their attacks. This was also their ultimate attack in which they had expended most of their mana in.
However, the ice elves did not even get the chance to fully complete the attack when cracks started to appear on their impenetrable ice wall.
A bad feeling welled up in their hearts. If a person was imprisoned in the ice casket, they were supposed to lose hope and get crushed. The chilly ice was enough to bore into the thickest of defenses.
If one spear was not enough then the second one would accomplish the task. If not, then the third one. If not, then the fourth one. This was precisely why they conjured a deadly number of hardened ice spears.
But still, the walls were cracking. The three ice elves hurriedly fortified the wall with more ice elemental juice, except that their speed was not nearly enough.
The cracks became bigger and bigger. Everything was happening too fast. One of the ice elves started shouting in panic. "You will not fight back. In the name of the royal family, lay down and-"
RUMBLE RUMBLE
Before he could finish his words, the entire set up burst open with ice fragments flying everywhere. This combined with the blizzard that was already pouring from above without stopping, caused endless ice everywhere.
However, in the midst of this white rain, sword arcs flashed here and there as a clear path was carved in the chaos.
The ice elves prepared to attack again but they did not get the chance.
Arcane Frost Slas.h.!.+
An immense amount of mana swirled around him as a giant sword materialized from the energy.
With one swift motion, Liam unleashed the attack, and the ma.s.sive sword arc of arcane energy sliced through the freezing air, breaking through the blizzard and hurtling toward the ice elves.
Princess Freliya barely had time to raise another barrier, this one visibly strained and pulsing as it fought to withstand the arcane onslaught. Her accompanying ice elves weren"t so lucky; one of them was too slow to react and was blasted back, severely wounded, and knocked out of the fight. The other one was directly cut into two halves.
Liam appeared next to the first one and finished off the job, blood splattering on the white icy field.
"You think you can come into my realm and defy me?" Princess Freliya"s voice quivered with indignant fury. She was now visibly drained, the color leaving her face as she expended her magical reserves. But she was far from giving up. Her staff glowed once more, albeit dimmer this time. "Glacial Heart!"
