Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Pranav

The unique structure of the nearbywith the clihtrain City to be a place where rain clouds cohtrain City was on the in of this rather poetic naht when it was colder

Militarily speaking, there was a height advantage offered by this city’s construction, and the rainy weather gave it an advantage in defense Slippery e weaponry, after all Under Halent’s co carved out by hu at a fearso by its current rate of expansion, it would likely become a peerless impenetrable fortress within the next two years

However, what the city guards at the city gate witnessed today was a snowy night that should have been extinct in spring It was not the typical rainy evening

First, the snowflakes caer in size until it imperceptibly became a flurry so heavy that it was iers in

The area around the lich had transfor the environment with one’s mana doubtlessly e, perhaps even at the Saint rank, yet…

"So what? No , have we ever feared anyone?&8221;

Halent’s heavy sas tre, but that was due to his excite that his opponent was powerful, this draconic warrior had found a hile prey He let out a low roar, causing all his muscles to naturally overload themselves, as if he was a predator about to hunt his prey

"FUL!&8221;

He uttered a ical incantation that caused his heavy sword to sith blue-white electricity When the lightning flashes illuht, now had his overly clean face appear more resolute than before His heavy sas now enchanted with dragonbolts with every swing, further increasing his ht by approximately thirty percent

And not far away, "Dark and Cloudy Windstorlared at the transforin a new round of attacks against Ah Dang However, a light foot suddenly pressed down on his head; he didn’t even notice its presence until it was already there

"Young one, if you don’t want to die, I reco huon’s sense told hions were a species that had their levels etched into their bloodlines, and this venerated Blue Dragon felt true terror for the first tiht that even an Elder Blue Dragon was unable to resist

"A Dragon Queen of soons, Ancient Dragons, and Ion required thousands of years as the base unit, and there were tree difference in draconicat all except surrender

No one would believe it The faon were coainst soainst Halent

"Ice Pillar&8221;

I didn’t use any incantations, and there weren’t even any er had a ray of white light following it, and right after that, it transforonbreath would be

With this right before hily swung his sword and clashed against the pillar of ice, which forcibly transformed the ice back into snowflakes That thunder-enchanted sparkling sword of his sliced through ic ability? It doesn’t seem to be an effect of the sword’s enchanthting with dragon, deainst their base stats, which would be her than an ordinary huilant about would be their wide assortment of natural talent abilities that were ever so difficult to defend against

Snap!

With a snap of h-speed ice pillar appeared fro at me

He lowered his head, protected his face, and used his shoulder in lieu of a spear to charge through ht didn’t stop at all and actually crashed throughfrom the tattered pieces of his armor and fresh blood on his forehead, he didn’t have an easy tie who had such a degree of expertise in ice eous who took difficult paths would be able to win Even if he injured himself, he would force hih head-on? Alright then, I shall allow you to enjoy yourself to your heart’s content Come, Ice Wall!&8221;

I clapped and caused numerous walls of ice to rise between e athere, this place had already become my domain and battlefield

"How is this possible! Does this lich not need any casting tih the cold-faced Halent remained calm on the surface, he found it incoic spells that seemed to break all common sense

But even so, he believed in his own victory…

"I’e and a warrior would eternally be about controlling the distance Even a e two ranks above a warrior in power level would easily die if the warrior ap toht Halent Although I was still shouting out the na theappeared simple but was actually marvelous in its countless applications

I just had to use the easiest ele of all to construct a model of what I wanted and pay the mana cost required to have all the basic ice ele this one part horizontal would be an ice wall, whileit in a circular fashion would create an ice circle Unlike the rigidspells I did in the past, the ice and snow here were extensions of my will and hting

Swoosh!

This ti, and with another swing, an invisible fist of snow suddenly landed upon Halent without any warning at an angle above him; it was impossible for hiround

"Ohdust revealed a large hole in the ground with stone shards scattered everywhere Just like what had happened to et the opportunity to shout before he was buried in the ground

Myas well If you only judged by its outer appearance, it looked like a high-circle ice ic for manipulation, Balof’s Fist, but it was actually just basic ice sculpting as well Although this ice sculpting er scale than others, it was still only an insignificant drain onwould be easier Before, when I cast y would be that soo up to 10 + 10 = 20 However, the currentworked, so I could easily change basicinto solids is the h it’s sturdy and sharp, its speed is ather smaller particles If I want to shoot out rays orforce

In e a ice spirits Under the influence of my mana, they constantly transformed into mist, or ice pillars, or invisible, tasteless frost Their forms, conditions, and sizes were no problee theht, I could twist common sense and take sooff the restraints of coic of ic that I could control at will

"Oh my, this is so fun&8221;

As if I had found a fun toy to play with, I wholeheartedly threw ic I even sentabout ht Archduke

Clang!

…Well, I al was the sound of his head crashing against the solid walls of ice encapsulating hion descendant; I hoped that he wouldn’t get a concussion for this It would be bad if he injured himself too badly and left some dark history in his heart… Or, should I make him hit himself in the head a few hundred more times so that he would lose hissoround How ainst sand worround here I’ll simply wait for you to crash into more walls of ice&8221;

Froic enchantment on his sword, I knew that he was on’s bloodline hi and thunder and also really loved to build their nests in deserts and isolated hills; they were naturally skilled diggers Their natural talents involved the ability to round, so how could I possibly not be on guard?

The snow kept increasing inable to create my own Soul World yet, all my preparations for what I wanted to do were now complete I transformed all of my mana into the purest ice ele the Northlands’ scenery, while , would act as my brush The reoccurrence of my world of snow and ice was under coround A s into a snow ical crystal trees could faintly be seen

When looking at it from a distance, it was probably just a beautiful scene of snow But just like the winter in the Northlands, death traps typically waited, hidden in such clean and beautiful scenery If a traveler as allured by the scenery and didn’t understand the natural laws of snowy mountains acted as he pleased, then that traveler would likely not live to see next year’s spring

"…This is my Ice Treader Soul Iize for not allowing you to display your true power until today&8221;

The snowflakes in the air could transform into fatal ice blades at any tiround would suddenly collapse or freeze over The layers of ice beneath the snoould silently for off the snoould begin creating white illusions With a singleinto an endless abyss, sleeping foreverst the pristine snow

With the ice eleether with the snow, the ordinary streets transforly take a lot of mana, but, in reality, all it took for me to summon the ice and snoas a small amount Since the scenes of snoere already drawn by me, what I had to do after was slowly enjoy

As I expected, fighting in actual combat with an opponent as close tomyself In the past, all my opponents’ power levels were completely unbalanced co to the point where I couldn’t win unless I cheated, or they were so weak that I could easily ith one hand tied behind ht in order to uise as a lich, this was the closest even battle that I hadn’t had for so long It helped e as well as recently learned knowledge explode all at once, transforth via real battle
