Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

Is this a nightmare? The "three shadows" looked up at the sky, doubting everything.

The small boat it commanded was naturally frozen by the cold winter, and there was nowhere to escape in the vast sea of ​​ice.

Suddenly, a high-level ice magician appeared on the ship and froze all of them into popsicles. He then ordered the crew members who had betrayed the Chamber of Commerce to be pulled onto the deck and imprisoned in an ice prison.

The last time I was allowed to look out freely—

The "Three Shadows" saw the fate of the fleet.

Huge icebergs suddenly rose from the sea and surrounded the merchant ship.

The dreamlike figure of the Ice Prison Dragon, amidst its wings and ice chips, chanted the song of a dragon and descended upon the ice prison created by its own hands.

"It's so beautiful..."

"Three Shadows" sighed sincerely, it's a pity that they can't take a few more glances.

……

"Employer, this three-headed ghost is the captain of the reconnaissance ship."

"Ah."

Yu Man didn't look up, but just focused on the work in his hands.

She trusted Xiang Xiang very much, so she let the treasure chest monster monitor the surroundings while she just focused on preparations.

"Ghost, can you answer a few questions for me? If not, I'll kill you. Answers or not."

"...I--" The "three shadows" wanted to try to communicate a few words, even though they were imprisoned in an ice prison and there was a terrifying treasure chest monster that could bite them to death at any time.

But Yu Man suddenly thought of something and began to correct his statement.

"No, the ghosts can't be killed. I almost forgot... Well, I'll find a large seashell from the sea, lock you inside, then freeze you carefully and bury you in the deepest canyon under the sea. I wonder how long you can endure the loneliness?"

Is this a joke? Or is this my destiny?

The "Three Shadows" didn't have the courage to gamble, and didn't even dare to think about Yu Man's description: "I answer any questions."

"Let me introduce the two 'appraisers' on board."

The "three shadows" were stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that this deal was a huge trap.

This kind of information was only known to the buyer and seller, but she blurted it out...

Unfortunately, the "three shadows" could do nothing but answer obediently.

"Both are elite members of the branch. One is 'Crocodile Shield,' a rank seven defensive expert with a formidable shield. The other is 'Piercing Flower,' a prominent figure who long ago ascended to rank eight. He's one of our branch's trump cards and our strongest force this time."

Yu Man didn't respond, still concentrating on the task at hand.

She was making a gun.

Use the power you have now to condense unprecedented ice and enchant each layer of ice.

Stack it up like this and roll it up into fourteen layers to make a gun handle.

The tip of the spear is in a "dying" state and is now equivalent to an eighth-level dagger.

Similarly, it was enchanted to the extreme by Yu Man, and was tempered with ice, potions, poisons, and even the blood of werewolves.

Such weapons will not exist for long, and there is no time to prepare them in normal combat, but now is just the right time.

"What I said... is all true! I didn't lie! Don't let me down..."

The only thing that ghosts with long lives fear is loneliness.

It regards Yu Man's silence as a questioning of the words, so it tries desperately to prove the authenticity of the words.

"I... I have something to add! 'Flowers Through' had an affair with the crew on the way to the escort, and her strength has dropped a bit! And... and... and..."

“—Okay.”

Yu Man let out a sigh.

This is not a response to the dialogue, but a forging of the weapon at hand.

The ice-forged spear, which had been carefully forged but would not last long, was now shining in Yu Man's hands.

The "dying" state makes it collapse at any time, but it contains amazing power, even increasing the coldness of the ice.

So much so that——

When it was cast by Yu Man, it froze the chatter of the "Three Shadows".

"Let's go—it has a short lifespan."

"Okay, employer, who should I bite this time?"

"Just don't bite me."

Yu Man swallowed a whole bottle of magic potion, gripped the gun handle, and slowly walked towards the deck - facing the sea.

Ha, the Ice Prison Dragon really caused a lot of trouble.

Needless to say, the sea was frozen everywhere.

An unprecedented coldness swept across everything here.

High peaks rising from the sea surrounded the fleet, trapping them and making them unable to move.

This is equivalent to the power of nature itself, which mortals have no chance of resisting.

only--

"It's not enough that he can withstand it, but he can even free up his hands to restrain the Ice Prison Dragon... He's quite powerful."

Yu Man saw clearly the current situation of the fleet.

The crocodile man holding a shield was distributing his strength to the two ships. His appearance and equipment looked ugly, but very practical.

This is how it fights. It will even capture others who are about to freeze to death, sacrifice them directly, and bite them to use as its own strength to sustain its resistance against the cold.

If the Ice Prison Dragon is still restrained, it looks like it can hold on for a while.

The other person, who was leading the battlefield—presumably their trump card, "Flower of Piercing."

An archer.

No, it should be called a sharpshooter.

It was not until he met him in person that Yu Man understood why he had such a title.

It is a rather rare plant family, but it is as withered as rotten wood, without even the slightest fragrance or luxuriance, just withering like it is about to die.

Yu Man just recognized this state, it meant that it was about to advance - or die.

131 Puzzle

This person's skills are indeed impressive, no wonder he became the escort.

In order to prevent the battle from affecting the merchant ships, "Piercing Flowers" went directly to the ice sea and restrained the Ice Prison Dragon with terrifying arrows.

"Whoosh-"

Another arrow.

It was like a meteor dragging across the night sky, carrying with it an extremely poisonous force, and it pierced the sky in an instant.

Even a high-level mythical beast like the Ice Prison Dragon had to dodge. Although it wouldn't kill him directly, it would hurt.

The arrow that "pierces the flowers" was carefully considered, and it held another arrow and turned it.

Some strange magical power began to respond, causing the arrow, which should have been dodged, to turn at a very tricky position and attack the Ice Prison Dragon again with the same power and speed.

This time, the Ice Prison Dragon didn't dodge.

He could only call upon the ice and withstand the attack.

Suddenly, a violent collision of magical power exploded in the sky, and the Ice Prison Dragon suffered a slight loss.

"This bow and arrow... they're incredibly powerful." Yu Man saw the key to this move. "The arrow can freely control its trajectory until it misses... and it can interact with the quiver's reserves, even changing its attributes... I'm afraid there's even a backup plan like switching positions."

"Flower Through" itself has rich combat experience and strength, which can be seen from its positioning and attack timing.

It even created free time to use magical spells and try to communicate with someone.

After adjusting itself, the Ice Prison Dragon retaliated with violent ice and snow, but it was ineffective in a short time.

Yu Man was not surprised. After all, this guy was just a small young dragon and lacked combat experience.

But there is also something worth praising, it did not try to engage in close combat.

Is it an intuition inherited from ancestors? Or is it an instinctive magical power of seeing through things?

Yu Man could tell from the archer's stance that he was luring her into close combat. Furthermore, his acting was excellent, even camouflaging the flaws between each arrow and exaggerating the effort required to shoot, creating the illusion that he would be defeated if approached.

"...very strong and experienced. How could such a guy be only the second-in-command of a branch of the 'Underworld Chamber of Commerce'?"

"Employer, what should I do? I feel like if I go up and get bit, I'll die immediately." Xiang Xiang was shocked by the obviously different battlefield in front of him.

But Yu Man's expression did not change.

Everything - no surprises.

"Just help me keep an eye on the surroundings."

She withdrew her mind from watching the battle and simply held the squeaking ice spear, which had little life left.

With all of Yu Man's current abilities, it has been tempered to the extreme.

It possesses all the attainments of a sixth-level enchanter and all the power of a perfected ice magician.

Moreover, he has already "died".

It was in Man's right hand, and in his left hand, he opened the magic book.

Countless magical powers began to dominate the environment, and the ice element in the world no longer belonged only to the Ice Prison Dragon.

They happily accompanied Yu Man and began to fulfill her wish.

With magic power and the eagerness of the ice elements, Yu Man created an invisible road.

That is the path the Ice Lance will take.

"Send it to me—"

On the frozen sea, the shattered deck of the ship—

The girl bent her body and poured all her strength, magic—and her wishes... into the ice spear she had forged.

And then—throw it.

Countless ice elements had already prepared a path to guide it.

The boiling elements along the way worked together to push the extremely sharp ice spear.

"What--"

"what?"

"Hey, big brother——"

This is a very high-level elemental magic that requires a lot of thought and effort, but Yu Man is used to it.

And when it is realized, it looks like this -

An unmatched ice spear, tearing through everything except ice and snow along the way, with a speed that can reach the target in an instant—

Arrived.

The destination is the "Crocodile Shield", which has always used the power of the shield to resist the cold winter.

The defensive power that it boasted of was just one of the countless things that were negated by the ice spear.

Faster than anyone on the battlefield realized, faster than anyone's exclamation.

The shield, armor, skin, flesh... bones - heart of the "Crocodile Shield".

Then to bones and flesh, skin, and armor.

And life——
