Final Lord

Chapter 190 Heart of Frost

As the last ice crystal extinguished, hundreds of crystal-thorned roses sprouted out of thin air on the ice field. Hera collapsed, her body hanging limply.

The long battle, coupled with the final wave of healing dance, exhausted her stamina.

But all the banshees' wounds had vanished without a trace. They surrounded the unconscious dancer, forming a blanket with their bodies to hold Hera firmly in place.

Wang Bu let out a deep breath; there were no more red dots on his sand table.

[Successfully conquered the Chaotic Cave - Frozen Soul Bird's Nest!]

[You have received a reward of 129,000 experience points, which have been evenly distributed.]

You have received the reward: Frostheart (Transcendent)

[You have received the following rewards: 6 Gold Coins, 8 S-grade resource Extreme Cold Ice Hearts, and a total of 589 other resources.]

Frostheart
Extraordinary treasures
Intelligence +9
Special skill:

Frostbite: When equipped with Frostheart, all your attacks and spell effects are converted to ice attribute. (Note: Only attack attribute is converted. For example, when casting the spell [Fire Wall], under the influence of Frostheart, it becomes an ice attribute Fire Wall, not an ice wall. Enemies passing through the fire wall will be frozen and slowed by the low temperature.)
Innate magic: Ice Bolt, Ice Blast, Ice Ring.

An intelligence-boosting treasure with its own magic! It also grants a full 9 points of intelligence!
After leaving the chaotic cave, Wang Bufu stared at the Frostheart in his hand, unable to look away.

Possessing innate magic and intelligence means that even someone completely devoid of magic can use Frostheart to impersonate a mage. The frost effect is even more formidable, converting all magic into ice—a truly divine skill for ambushing enemies.

"Leaving aside special skills, 10 points of intelligence is the threshold for epic treasures. Frostheart adds 9 points of intelligence, which is already very close to being epic."

If suitable materials and craftsmen can be found later, it can be upgraded to epic at any time.

Wang Bufu felt somewhat strange. He had come to the Treasure House specifically to get the Epic Treasure Werewolf King Shield, but ended up getting a semi-Epic item first.

"Phew! You're out." General Ed poked his head out from the clouds and breathed a sigh of relief.

“You were gone for far too long this time. A full six hours. I was really worried you’d die inside. Thank goodness you came back safely.”

"We were lucky," Wang Bufu laughed. "The final boss monster was a bit troublesome, and it took a lot of time to deal with it."

He held up the Frostheart high and asked General Ed, "General, this is a reward I brought out of the cave. Do you think it will help you form the Ice Barrier Group?"

"Oh?" General Ed held Frostheart in his hand and examined it carefully.

"This is!" His entire body suddenly swelled up slightly as he exclaimed in surprise, "Extremely concentrated ice element, and very gentle at that. It even has its own magic circuit, allowing ordinary people to sense the movement of the ice element."

This is incredibly helpful. I previously thought it would take months to train soldiers with ice elemental affinity. But with Frostheart, I can get a few promising talents out in just three days.”

Wang Bufu laughed:
"That's good. I knew this treasure would be helpful to you. In that case, you can keep it for now. I'll come back to you if I need it."

"Haha. Alright!" the Cloud Giant laughed. "We're allies, so I won't stand on ceremony. I'll accept this treasure."

He looked at Hera, exhausted, lying among the harpies, and the cavemen, their bodies blue and purple from the cold, and laughed, "Well, now you'll have to come back with me to rest, won't you?"

"Of course," Wang Bufu said with a wry smile, "My soldiers have already reached their limit."

"Hahaha. Come on! Get up here!" The Cloud Giant grabbed Wang Bufu and the others, and led them along the ice wall toward New Gru Territory.

General Ed lowered his projection onto his palm and asked with interest, "Young man, tell me. What could have driven you to such a sorry state?" "The Frostbird," Wang Bufu briefly explained the Frostbird's information. General Ed's face wrinkled upon hearing this.

"What the hell?! Conceptual special effects? You can't even look at it once, just looking at it will cause the temperature to drop, directly to the extreme cold limit? -273℃, are you serious? That's the theoretical lowest temperature that would freeze even the most active fire element!"

General Ed simulated what would have happened if his former self had led the Ice Barrier Group to fight the Frostbirds.

After calculating for a long time, he concluded that knowing the opponent's special skills, there was a chance to win, but it would be a pyrrhic victory. Not many of the thousand-strong army would survive.

If you don't know the other party's special skills, you'd probably be half dead the moment you meet them.

Putting everything else aside, the concept special effects alone are beyond our capabilities.

Who fights and doesn't let others watch? That's so shameless.

But the king was not convinced. Although his soldiers were in a sorry state, not a single one of them had been lost!

"You managed to take down this monstrous thing without taking any damage?" General Ed gasped. "You still say that the Overlord Monster doesn't have any martial ethics? I think you're the one who really doesn't have any martial ethics."

How did you avoid that conceptual effect? ​​And how did you survive the final large-scale ice explosion? It had a radius of three kilometers! Did you have ranged units with a range exceeding three kilometers?

"Hahaha, military secret." Wang Bufu covered his mouth and laughed. "The main reason is that my soldiers are more skilled, and their special skills are just right to counter the opponent."

"Heh. I'll take that as it is. You're not being fair, even your allies are wary." General Ed nudged the unconvinced king, who then put his hands on his chest.

"Look at you. You're really putting on an act. Military secrets, huh?"

Actually, I didn't really want to know. It's just taking it down without losing anything, right? What's the big deal? I'll think about it some more when I get back; I'm sure I can find a way.

If you don't want to talk, then don't. It's not like I'm forcing you to talk through my power.

Yes, I am a legend, but we are allies. How could I possibly bully you?

I was just about to take you to my newly opened snow mountain hot spring resort for a relaxing rest. You agree, right?

This pressure is real. General Ed is acting like a child.

Wang Bufu immediately raised his hands in surrender. "I'll talk, I'll talk. Oh dear, my little tricks are nothing to brag about."

After listening to Wang Bufu explain the special abilities of his unit and the effects of the tactical sandbox, General Ed was completely stunned.

"Good heavens. How come you, a mere Level 1 Extraordinary Pacification General, can learn the sand table command of the [Grand General]?"
"I won't even mention that the Grand General is an epic class, but it's not even on the same career path as you! Does that make sense?"

Wang Bufu waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's nothing, just some little tricks I learned in the Commander Academy library."

General Ed was astonished: "Your Commander's Academy Library in the Principality of the Bucks is that amazing?"

"what!"

"Then why haven't you taken down the Eagle Kingdom yet? It's your turn to be the boss."

"Huh? I don't know. The emperor isn't trying hard enough."
