Over-Tier of the Ice Element

An ancient, cold will, like a glacier that had slumbered for eons, suddenly awakened.

It erupted from the depths of the ring!

An indescribably vast ice-element magical power swept out with Irena at its center!

The Evil Spirit Knight, standing before her, its ghostly green soul-fire pupils flickered violently.

A tremor originating from the very instinct of its soul made it tremble and retreat!

Jianye, Leon, Land, and even Charn in the distant orphanage all looked at Irena in utter astonishment.

“No way…”

The most shocked was Jianye. She was completely stunned.

This terrifying ice-element magical power, there was only one possibility she could think of.

The ice element in the air grew thicker and thicker.

Irena’s body was enveloped in a bone-chilling cold current and a brilliant ice-blue radiance.

Her originally light-golden long hair transformed into silver-white, the ends extending from her waist to her calves.

The iris hair ornament in her hair turned into a crystalline ice crystal.

In the depths of her light-purple pupils, a dot of blue gradually spread, eventually dyeing her entire eye ice-blue. A snowflake appeared in the center of her pupil.

Her student uniform was covered by an illusory robe woven from crystalline ice.

Her entire expression changed. Her original consciousness was fading.

Replacing it was a coldness that looked down on all living beings.

Terrifyingly beautiful, and terrifyingly cold.

The temperature of the surrounding air plummeted. The ground, the ruins, and the water vapor all rapidly condensed into frost with her at the center.

An Over-Tier pressure, enough to make even the Evil Spirit Knight tremble, like a tangible iceberg, pressed down heavily on the entire battlefield!

The Evil Spirit Knight’s deep green soul-fire contracted sharply. It no longer charged forward.

Instead, it lowered its center of gravity and held its giant shield in front of it. This was a posture of caution!

From that petite figure, it felt a terrifying power sufficient to destroy it.

“This aura… ancient and pure… What on earth is it?!”

In the distance, Charn coughed up blood, his cloudy old eyes filled with shock.

He had never heard of such power.

At almost the same time, in the back mountain of the orphanage.

Black’s rapidly moving figure suddenly stopped. He turned his head abruptly and looked in the direction of the orphanage.

His face was filled with astonishment.

He felt it. A vast and boundless wave of ice-element magical power was soaring into the sky from the direction of the orphanage’s backyard.

Even from such a distance, he could clearly feel the purity of that power!

Over-Tier! Over-Tier of the Ice Element!

No, it was infinitely close to the Dragon-Tier!

“Peak Over-Tier of the Ice Element?!”

“How is this possible?!”

His heart pounded.

In the backyard, there were only Irena and the others, and the Evil Spirit Knight.

Only Irena was an ice-element sorcerer, but it was absolutely impossible for her to reach Over-Tier in an instant!

Unless…

A nearly impossible guess suddenly rushed into his mind.

“No way…”

Like Jianye, the first thing he thought of was Irena’s Ring of Inheritance.

Such a sudden and powerful burst of power.

He couldn’t think of any other possibility besides the early awakening of the Ring of Inheritance.

This change was completely outside of his plan.

But at this moment, the arrow was already on the bowstring. He couldn’t afford to be distracted to confirm the specific situation.

The necromancer was not far away.

Black’s eyes sharpened, and he forcefully suppressed the storm in his heart.

No matter what, kill the necromancer first.

In the backyard.

Irena, transformed into the “Goddess of Ice,” slowly raised her slender hand, which was enveloped in an ice-blue radiance.

Her fingertip was aimed at the Evil Spirit Knight.

Her expression was indifferent, like ten-thousand-year-old ice, devoid of any emotion.

Only a coldness that looked down on ants.

The Evil Spirit Knight’s four hooves, burning with black flames, stamped deep into the ground. It crouched fiercely, its heavy tower shield raised to its chest, its lance pointed diagonally at the ground.

It had assumed a full defensive stance.

“Freeze.”

The cold judgment sounded.

Irena’s palm faced down, and she pressed lightly.

“Krakala!”

The ground beneath the Evil Spirit Knight’s feet instantly turned to solid ice, and the ice layer spread rapidly up its four limbs!

The cold power of law directly began to erode its body.

“ROAR!”

The Evil Spirit Knight let out a muffled roar.

It swung the giant shield in its right hand and slammed it into the spreading ice layer!

“Thump!”

Under the shield’s blow, the newly formed ice layer was shattered into flying ice chips, and large cracks appeared. Its spreading momentum also faltered.

The black lance in its left hand transformed into an afterimage and thrust at Irena!

The tip of the lance tore through the air, emitting a piercing shriek.

Facing this strike, which could easily pierce through a steel city wall.

Irena’s expression did not waver in the slightest, and she didn’t even move an inch.

Just as the black lance was about to touch her.

“Condense.”

In front of the lance’s tip, a diamond-shaped ice mirror, as thin as a cicada’s wing, appeared out of thin air.

“Clang!”

The black lance, carrying terrifying kinetic energy, stabbed viciously into the center of the ice mirror!

The expected shattering did not occur.

Instead, the surface of the ice mirror shone brightly, and an extreme coldness shot back along the shaft of the lance!

The Evil Spirit Knight’s arm holding the lance trembled. The tip of the lance was as if it had been stabbed into black ice, unable to advance, and difficult to withdraw.

Its soul-fire leaped wildly. It pulled back with all its might, but still couldn’t move.

Irena coldly watched the enemy’s struggle and slightly closed the five fingers of her outstretched hand.

“Grasp.”

As her word fell.

The air around the Evil Spirit Knight suddenly collapsed inward!

From all directions, countless thick chains of ice appeared out of thin air.

These chains, carrying a soul-imprisoning cold, wound towards the Evil Spirit Knight’s limbs, torso, and neck from all angles!

The Evil Spirit Knight felt a deadly threat. The soul-fire under its helmet was almost about to erupt!

It abandoned its defense, and the black mist on its lance boiled as it stabbed into the ground!

With the tip of the lance as the center, a shockwave of dark magic exploded in a ring.

It activated its strongest skill, trying to shatter all the ice chains.

However, the circular dark ripple had just spread when it was as if it had hit an invisible wall.

The front of the ripple silently crumbled into black ice crystal dust.

“Seal.”

A single, cold word came from Irena’s mouth.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no gorgeous light and shadow.

With the Evil Spirit Knight at its core, the concept of “temperature” in that area was stripped away.

The Evil Spirit Knight’s massive body suddenly stiffened.

A layer of crystal-clear, azure black ice, starting from its four limbs, spread and enveloped it at a visible speed.

The black flames were extinguished the moment the ice layer covered them. The ice layer swept past the horse’s belly, covered the knight’s torso, and wound around the giant shield, the long lance…

The faint sound of the ice crystals growing was, at this moment, on the dead-silent battlefield, incomparably clear.

The Evil Spirit Knight’s soul-fire flickered frantically, and dark magic exploded from within.

However, the pure power of cold surged from all directions, even freezing the soul-fire.

In just five seconds, the Evil Spirit Knight had been transformed into a lifelike ice sculpture!

Overwhelming.

An utterly one-sided rout.

“Shatter.”

Irena reached out and flicked the Evil Spirit Knight’s forehead.

The ice sculpture completely shattered, turning into a pure ice-blue dust that fell silently.

The legendary monster, an Over-Tier existence, had fallen just like that.

The backyard returned to a dead silence.

Only that cold and beautiful figure floated in mid-air.

Jianye and the others had lost the ability to speak, staring blankly at it all.
