A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 237 The Ice Emperor, Dragon Slaying Platform

As the saying goes, "A person's name casts a shadow on a tree." Angers's illustrious name was known to many of the mixed-race people present. Just seeing Angers made their necks feel a little cold.

The Word of Zero might not be so effective against dragons, but against hybrids like them, it's a one-hit kill.

However, they thought again that they were no match for the Zhou and Bai families in their current state. If the Secret Party were to fight the Zhou and Bai families, they might be able to take advantage of the chaos!

Even if Angers is terrifying, they wouldn't harm them at this time, would they? It would be best if they could use Time Zero to kill that terrifying Nuwa from the Zhou family!

They even fantasized that if the Secret Party could drive the Zhou and Bai families away, they might be able to pick up some scraps from the Chen family to fill their pockets and make up for today's huge losses.

Suddenly they were no longer afraid of Angers and went over to try to get close to him, but Angers ignored them completely and walked straight toward Nuwa.

Following Lu Mingfei's advice, Angers did not come over in a bathrobe, but changed into a rather formal all-black custom-made suit.

Ignoring the group of mixed-race people who had gathered nearby, and ignoring the shattered mess on the ground.

The scorched ground, the broken bricks crisscrossed with sword marks, the uneven pits and potholes—none of these could stop Angers's advance.

An old man with a weathered appearance but golden eyes as bright as candles stepped across the blood-soaked ground, each step viscous and bloody.

With each step, tiny bursts of blood erupted.

Like an old dragon-slaying elder emerging from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, he arrived before Nuwa: "The Old Church? We in Kassel have a score to settle with the Old Church."

"Lord Nuwa, and the Zhou family, are you sure you want to pay this debt on behalf of the old church?"

Nuwa's aura was even stronger than Angers', and her golden eyes met Angers' gaze fearlessly: "According to your statement, you have mined and excavated so many relics on your own land. We do have many accounts to settle with you one by one!"

“Nuwa, you never used to talk like this.” Angers spoke as if chatting with an old friend, without a trace of murderous intent.

The two first met because of the establishment of the preparatory class in the capital.

Angers approached and pressured each of the heads of local aristocratic families, using both carrot and stick tactics, offering both benefits and threats of force, before finally forcing all the local aristocratic families to back down, thus enabling the successful establishment of the preparatory school in the capital.

Otherwise, how could a country with such a large population allow preparatory classes to arbitrarily recruit mixed-race individuals and send them to Kassel?
The major families themselves also need fresh blood, okay?

If it weren't for the greater good, the major families would have already gone to war with Cassel.

The many debts mentioned by Nuwa not only refer to the Secret Party's unbridled exploitation of local relics, but also include this humiliation.

Faced with Angers' probing, Nuwa showed no mercy: "Do you want to know what power I received from the Old Church that gives you the audacity to speak to me like this?"

“Angers, you’re wrong. Even without the old church, we have never lacked courage. If it weren’t for the greater good, do you really think the Zhou family, which I lead, would back down step by step?”

"At worst, we can just stall until things improve before launching an attack on you. However, because of the Old Church, the time for us to draw our swords has been brought forward!"

Angers stared intently at the aggressive Nuwa, and almost no one could see that his figure suddenly became ethereal.

Word of Power: Time Zero, quietly empowering Angers himself.

If we can't get any information out of her, then we might as well cut Nuwa down and interrogate her.

The old church burned down half of Kassel, creating a long-standing feud, so Angers had no qualms about it.

Of all the mixed-race individuals present, no one except Fingel could keep up with Angers' speed.

Fingel didn't even have time to shout "Be careful!" before he quickly activated his imitation of Time Zero, wanting to go over and give it to Nuwa.

But it was too late!

Angers' folding knife was hidden in the sleeve of his suit, and in an instant it was in his palm, mercilessly slashing towards Nuwa's throat!
Hybrids possess extraordinary physical abilities. Angers knew that while a throat slit would be fatal to an ordinary person, it would be a sure way to save the life of a hybrid like Nuwa, whose bloodline was so high that half of her body could transform into a snake.

But to Angers’ surprise, Nuwa’s body, which should have been relatively slow in the zero-time domain, was able to move slightly!
This shows that Nuwa herself has extremely high basic qualities, high enough to be able to keep up with Angers in a state of zero time!

Without delay, Nuwa radiated a soft, sacred light, and a radiant armor materialized on her body!
A crisp "ding" sounded!
Angers' folding knife struck the armor on the outside of Nuwa's throat! Tiny sparks and a metallic clang erupted.

With a powerful strike, he slashed a gash and several small cracks into the armor, also scattering some shimmering fragments. While watching the livestream, Angers hadn't thought much of Nuwa's armor, but after actually facing it, he realized how ridiculously tough it was!
His folding knife was powerful enough to pierce the body of a pure-blooded third-generation dragon, but at this moment it could only break through Nuwa's armor.
Angers withdrew abruptly, claiming he had encountered a less favorable opponent.

He prefers hybrids with high attack but low defense, and dislikes enemies with overly strong defense.

At this moment, Fingel finally ran to within five meters of Nuwa, mimicking the domain of time zero, and enveloped Nuwa within it.

The concept of Time Zero is something that ordinary hybrids simply cannot maintain for extended periods of time, as their bodies cannot withstand the burden.

However, the version that Fingel imitated was weaker than the original, and the workload was much less than the original.

Furthermore, after Fingel was promoted to a secret arts master, he made slight modifications to Time Zero based on his own knowledge, making the switch more flexible and less burdensome, which enabled him to maintain the Time Zero domain for such a long time.

"Thank you." Nuwa thanked her without turning her head, focusing intently on Angers ahead, and began chanting the mysterious dragon language.

The expressions of all the mixed-race people present changed drastically. Some retreated immediately, while others climbed over the wall and entered the Chen family manor for temporary refuge.

They all understood one thing: ordinary incantations don't need to be chanted. But incantations that require chanting by hybrids, especially powerful hybrids like Nuwa, are never simple!

"How is this possible? How is this possible?! Weren't those lightsabers and radiant armor the words of Nuwa? How could she have a second word of her own?!"

"Does this break the ironclad rule that hybrids can only have one kind of Word of Power? Or does it mean that Nuwa has mastered the Word of Power alchemy of Master Fingel? And used alchemy to create a second kind of Word of Power?"

"Fool! Word of Alchemy requires dragon blood and an alchemical array, but Nuwa didn't inscribe an alchemical array at all! The Church of the Old Ones, it must be the Church of the Old Ones that Angers just inquired about, that provided Nuwa with power!"

Before they could all disperse, Nuwa had already finished chanting the dragon language. Don't forget, she was still in the Fingel Time Zero Domain, so her speed was already extraordinary!

"Great True Word: Ice Emperor!"

Extreme cold, a cold that can penetrate the skin of mixed-race individuals and reach deep into their bone marrow, began to spread.

It easily broke through the interference range of conventional hybrid species' words of power, and everything within a radius of thirty meters was quickly covered with a layer of snow-white frost.

The moisture in the air condensed and fell to the ground with a crackling sound, as if a snowstorm had swept across the road.

It can be said that with just a few words, they can change the world on a small scale.

If it weren't for Nuwa's deliberate care and conscious control over the range of her words, Fingel behind her, as well as the members of the Zhou and Bai families, might have been frozen solid.

Even though Nuwa was trying her best to control it, the extreme cold still made the Zhou and Bai families shiver. Even Fingel, who recently activated the Bronze Throne, couldn't withstand the bone-chilling cold!
His face turned pale quickly, his eyebrows were covered in frost, and he instinctively wanted to shake his legs to keep warm.

Xu Lie, who was in the crowd, was relatively unaffected. He glanced at Xia Mi, who had quietly approached him and was silently commanding fire elements to warm him up, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

Are you not going to act anymore?
Compared to those who were cared for by Nuwa, the other mixed-race individuals who were slower to run were frozen solid and fell silent after taking only a few steps.

"Quickly finish this battle!" Even the Ice Emperor, whom Nuwa could not maintain for long, finally pulled out her family heirloom, the Dragon-Slaying Platform!
This renowned divine weapon, once drawn, reveals itself to be nothing more than a broken blade with less than half a foot of rust remaining.

The rusty bronze chain on the head of the Dragon-Slaying Platform came to life and consciously wrapped around Nuwa's arm. In that instant, Nuwa's entire being erupted with an even more surging aura!

As if some ancient being had descended, Nuwa swung her sword and swept across. The Dragon-Slaying Platform, as a remnant weapon, was completely unreasonable, forcefully amplifying the sword wind by tens of meters!
It swept away all the frost on the ground, letting the sword carry thousands of snowflakes straight towards Angers!
Fingel, standing behind Nuwa, was stunned. He activated his learning and analytical abilities as a secret arts mentor, deeply absorbing the knowledge within.

Incidentally, I was surprised to find that Nuwa was so domineering before, looking down on the trump cards that various forces had pulled out. Compared with the Dragon Severing Platform, the Golden Scythe Sword and the Hell Lizard Banner were nothing.

Angers wasn't stupid or stubborn; in an instant, he vanished, disappearing without a trace.

Nuwa had anticipated that the old man would run away, so she used all her strength, changing her sweeping motion into a downward chop!

Continuing to whip up the wind and snow, it charged towards the secret service convoy!

She refused to believe that Angers would just stand by and watch the Secret Service die out.

Faced with this sword strike, the various factions of the Secret Party all paled, and Sigurd's heir also activated the family's treasure, the dragon-slaying holy sword Balmonk, with all his might.
