In the world of Moe King, I became the ruler of ice.

Kuroya sighed at the black charcoal lying on the ground, "Of all people to mess with, I had to mess with Sister Long Xueqing. You know, she has the title of Mother Tyrannosaurus in the Demon Capital."

"What a pitiful fellow, I wonder if he can be saved." Kuroya poked him with a twig, but he didn't move. It seemed hopeless.

"Yeah... hopeless."

The charcoal lying on the ground seemed to hear Kuroya's voice, and miraculously uttered a weak, intermittent sound: "I...I still...can be saved, save me."

Huh? Kuroya looked at him in surprise. She hadn't sensed any life force just now. It seemed that his strong will to survive had given him a bit of vitality.

Kuroya immediately released her life energy to keep him alive. She discovered that during the treatment, this guy had actually learned [Cold Resistance] and [Regeneration].

"You're really lucky, you're really tough." Kuroya couldn't help but admire the guy on the ground.

After a long while, the elven officer on the ground groggily opened his eyes; his injuries had almost completely healed. The first thing he saw upon opening his eyes was the exquisitely beautiful and adorable Chloe, who looked like a porcelain doll.

"Um... thank you for saving me."

"Hmm... Sister Long Xueqing only said she would save you, but she didn't say she would let you go, so..." Kuroya made a mischievous smile and then waved her hand.

To the astonishment of the elven officer, several thick vines bound him up and suspended him in mid-air.

Only then did he belatedly realize that the cute little tree spirit in front of him was the culprit who had just harassed the magic mage legion.

"You...you are...?"

Looking into the distance, Long Xueqing saw that the magic soldiers on the ground dared not make any rash moves. Their legion commander was still in the enemy's hands. Without their legion commander's presence, they could only look at each other in dismay.

"Hehe, this is the effect I wanted. All I need to do is keep these troops here."

...

Elf Arena

The Ice Guard emerged from the wall embedded at the edge of the arena. Count Victoria's incredibly fast and powerful sword strike was so powerful that even the Magic Element's dynamic vision couldn't capture it.

This feeling gave the Ice Guardian the illusion of facing Elder Bai, but the opponent's sword aura was different from Elder Bai's. If it were Elder Bai, he would definitely have observed the enemy's weakness and delivered a fatal blow.

"Masked! Dispel your barrier now, or don't blame me for taking your head with my next sword strike." Count Victoria's heart was burning with anxiety; as her teacher's disciple, she had to rush to the palace no matter what.

But the Ice Knight in front of them, who called himself Masked, actually cast a wide-area barrier spell, trapping everyone in the arena here.

How could this not fuel his rage? Even as the Gale Sword Saint, he couldn't break through this damned, bizarre barrier with all his might.

Even in the face of Earl Victoria's overwhelming rage, the Ice Guard remained unmoved, their eyes beneath their helmets growing even colder as they calmly stated:

"I've already said it... No one can leave unless they defeat me."

Victoria laughed in anger, and without saying a word, she swung her slender sword, creating several afterimages of wind, and unleashed countless slashes.

He finally understood. The other party was trying to stall him and prevent him from leaving the outside, something must have happened, probably related to their Magic Dynasty's Emperor... otherwise...

"Hmph, the Magic Dynasty will not tolerate such insolence from outsiders like you." Having figured this out, Victoria decided to stop holding back.

"[Storm Sword Skill]"

Countless slashes, like a relentless storm of sharp blades, encircled the Ice Guardians from all sides, leaving no blind spots. The hurricane, like a death-slicing machine, hurtled towards the Ice Guardians.

The ground was ripped open with countless wounds. This kind of sword technique with large-area destructive power was something he had mastered on the battlefield hundreds of years ago. Back then, Victoria had used this move to secure victory in that war.

This also marked the beginning of the Swift Wind Sword Saint's rise to fame in the Magic Dynasty...

The Ice Guardian's eyes flashed rapidly beneath his helmet, his hand gripping his greatsword tightly as he activated his skill as well.

"【Annihilation Slash】"

It uses only a simple move, from top to bottom, which is very unadorned, but it contains the characteristics of [Heavy Steel] and [Thousand Pounds]. Combined with the properties of Ice Magic Essence, it also incorporates the power of ice explosion and the characteristics of frost erosion bestowed by Lord Gransta.

Bai Lao once commented on the Ice Guardian's swordsmanship, saying that no matter how complex and gorgeous the swordsmanship was, it was as fragile as paper in the face of absolute power.

In the center of the scene, surrounded by Count Victoria's swordsmanship, an unparalleled greatsword ripped through the air with the force of an avalanche.

boom--

The chaotic winds raged across the entire area, stirring up the air currents and mixing with ice and snow, creating an effect reminiscent of a blizzard with a powerful visual impact.

"How is this possible!" Count Victoria stood in the wind and snow, staring in disbelief at the torn sword technique.

He was actually at a disadvantage in the swordsmanship contest, and stared blankly at the ground in front of him.

A long, wide path of ice crystals, with sharp ice spikes like icy thorns stretching across almost the entire arena, came to a stop right in front of him.

Five steps away!!

Victoria's face was filled with nothing but shock. With his sword saint-level insight, he naturally knew what had just happened.

That sword strike made him feel the breath of death. Especially when that sword forcefully tore through his Storm Sword Technique, its target aimed directly at him.

This sword technique seems to also have a soul-corroding effect. The moment the soul is corroded by the frost, the whole body becomes stiff and movement becomes extremely difficult.

Even with his wind sprite's absolute speed, he couldn't move.

"Show me whatever other abilities you have, don't disappoint me."

The Ice Guardian's gaze remained calm; although the sword strike that had just torn apart his opponent had still dealt most of its power to him.

At this moment, his ice armor had several cracks, and even the wolf head mask hanging around his neck was broken in one corner.

Indeed, if it weren't for his powerful defense and damage reduction and transfer abilities provided by the special skill of [Divine Guardian], he wouldn't have dared to tear apart the opponent's sword technique.

Any single strike from the Storm Sword Technique can easily kill an A-rank monster, let alone the death storm formed by countless strikes.

If this were used on the battlefield, it would be an absolute weapon of mass destruction, capable of reaping the lives of soldiers.

"You're very strong! I'd like to know who taught you this sword technique?"

Instead of continuing the attack, Earl Victoria inquired about the sword technique used in the previous strike.

This reaction made the Ice Guards even more silent. They had been concealing the truth, and if they were to give an answer...

Wouldn't that be telling the other person who he is?

The Ice Guards fell silent, completely silent...
