‘Two Elite-level Mist Wraiths, plus nearly twenty Level 2-3 Mist Wraiths — it qualifies as a small-scale Gray Mist Tide. Even if we join forces with that team, the longer this drags on, the lower our chances of survival.’
‘The Gray Mist of the Gray Mist World is fair. Even Gray Mist Creatures have the same visibility range as humans. I just need to hide my presence to escape.’
‘I don’t know why that cave happens to hide my aura, but I just need to escape before these Mist Wraiths catch up to me…’
On the other side of the battlefield, Zhao Jun, who was hiding a few paces behind Shi Lei, secretly observed the situation and silently planned an escape route in his mind.
From Zhao Jun’s perspective, he currently saw no way to win.
……
‘I should be nervous facing Elite-level Gray Fog Creatures for the first time, but why do I feel so calm?’
Su Aoxue thought with confusion while controlling the Power of Extreme Cold to attack the two Gray Fog Creatures.
She recalled just a few days ago, before she had awakened her Talent and possessed no abilities, the sense of powerlessness and terror she felt when she was suddenly attacked by an Abyssal Creature emerging from the ground…
Although it was strange, now was not the time to think about such things.
After seeing that the situation on the field was not looking very good, Su Aoxue took a deep breath.
Her gaze gradually turned cold as if she were making a decision.
“Cover me!”
After shouting her command, she raised both hands above her head. A surge of the Power of Extreme Cold condensed in her palms and was cast into the air.
In the next instant, the flying snow in the sky began to fall more violently, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet.
The extremely beautiful face under Su Aoxue’s cloak instantly turned quite pale, and her brows furrowed tightly.
This action immediately drew the attention of the other battlefield.
The Gray Fog Creatures on the other side seemed to sense something extremely terrifying. Their bodies froze instinctively for a moment, but they quickly recovered.
Their numerous red eyes gradually turned crimson and frenzied, and every single one of them wanted to rush toward Su Aoxue’s position.
This strange reaction instantly confused many people.
They had seemingly never seen this happen with Gray Fog Creatures before!
After all, low-level Mist Wraiths had low intelligence and only acted on instinct.
Their current appearance was as if some kind of genetic switch within these Mist Wraiths had been flipped.
“Holy crap, something’s wrong! Why do these Mist Wraiths suddenly want to run?”
“They aren’t running away; they’re all trying to charge toward Old Qin. That mysterious woman in the cloak must be preparing something terrifying. Just looking at that piercing cold light makes my heart skip a beat…”
“Quick, everyone give it your all to stop them! Don’t let these Mist Wraiths through!”
Aside from the two Elite-level Gray Fog Creatures, there were nearly twenty other Mist Wraiths, and none of them were weak. They were Level 3 on average, which made it extremely difficult to kill them in a short amount of time.
If this dragged on, their casualties would likely be high.
Returning to Su Aoxue’s side, Qin Wei saw her take action. To prevent his Fire-type Ability from hindering the freezing process, he even began to use his physical strength to tank the pressure against the two Gray Fog Creatures.
“Damn it, I hope you don’t screw us over!”
Looking at the snow permeating the sky, Qin Wei spat out some bloody phlegm before stepping forward with his blade again to restrain the monsters.
Su Aoxue had not been injured yet, while he had long been beaten half to death by the two Gray Fog Creatures.
Being able to stay alive while facing two Elite-level Gray Fog Creatures was already his limit, especially since he could not use his Talent abilities freely.
This made Qin Wei feel extremely frustrated during the fight.
However, if he did not cooperate with the person behind him, he would not only be frustrated but would also likely die here.
“If I survive this hurdle, it’ll be a crime if I don’t soar to success later!”
Gritting his teeth, Qin Wei arrived in front of the Gray Fog Creature that was trying to approach Su Aoxue…
Gradually, the movements of the two Elite-level Gray Fog Creatures became increasingly sluggish under her Domain Skill.
Not only did these two Elite-level Gray Fog Creatures slow down, but because Su Aoxue had released a massive amount of the Power of Extreme Cold, the temperature of the entire canyon had long since dropped below freezing.
Therefore, even though the target of Su Aoxue’s attack range was not the humans, frost still appeared on their clothes.
“Damn, it must be dozens of degrees below zero, right? Another one of those skills that doesn’t distinguish between friend or foe.”
Shi Lei shook his body as he looked in Su Aoxue’s direction.
“Though it hits everyone, it seems like there’s a chance…”
Zhao Jun also looked toward Su Aoxue, his eyes narrowing slightly.
At the same time, another gaze was observing Su Aoxue from the shadows.
That person was Shen Yan.
At this moment, Shen Yan’s body was emitting white steam and his skin was flushed red to achieve a warming effect. Many wounds had appeared on his body as well.
As a D-rank Martial Artist, even though Shen Yan possessed the superb combat techniques of his previous life, he could only play a negligible role on this battlefield that did not belong to him.
Because of this, he had more time to observe the mysterious cloaked woman, Su Aoxue.
As for why he was doing this, it was simply to find Su Aoxue’s weaknesses and fighting style, laying the groundwork for saving his best friend in the future…
‘The power of a Calamity is truly unreasonable. Even a pseudo-domain skill released at the A-rank Warrior stage possesses the ability to temporarily change the environment of an area.’
Shen Yan looked at Su Aoxue with great wariness and muttered to himself.
‘This won’t do. When I go back this time, I need to give my brother some psychological suggestions to stay away from cloaked women with Ice System abilities…’
……
On the other side of the battlefield, a powerful surge of the Power of Extreme Cold began to condense in Su Aoxue’s hands.
The ambient temperature dropped several degrees once again.
“[Frost Calamity · Ice Soul]!”
After Su Aoxue tried once more to get close to one of the Elite-level Gray Fog Creatures, she released the skill.
In the next instant, frost completely enveloped the Elite-level Gray Fog Creature, completing a total freeze in the blink of an eye!
The Mist Wraith’s two raised arms had not yet smashed down toward Su Aoxue before they were frozen into an ice sculpture, and half of its life core was exposed at that moment.
Its four eyes, which were originally crimson, began to dim. A red gas began to spread at a speed visible to the naked eye, but it remained unable to break through the surface of the ice.
Qin Wei, who had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, arrived beside Su Aoxue in an instant. Explosive fire energy began to condense on the longsword in his hand: “[Blazing Flame · Flame Blast]!”
A second later, a slash containing extreme heat struck the core in the Gray Fog Creature’s chest.
Su Aoxue’s breathing was extremely erratic, but she still did not linger. In the next second, she sprinted toward the final Elite-level Gray Fog Creature.
‘I’ve put in so much effort; it wouldn’t be too much to take the hearts of two Elite-level Gray Fog Creatures…’
Su Aoxue gritted her teeth and thought to herself.
If they didn’t give them to her, she wouldn’t mind freezing Qin Wei’s team into ice sculptures as well.
In any case, the domain had already been formed and would not dissipate in a short amount of time.
As for the side effects, that was something for the future Su Aoxue to worry about, not her current self!
