Alone and Infinite

A lot of resources were invested, and at the captain's suggestion, actual combat was used instead of training.

Looking at the endless white snowfield around him, Gray sighed regretfully.

The opponent's luck is really bad, especially considering they are an ice mage.

This is his main battlefield!

[Battle begins!]

The transparent barrier that had been blocking both sides suddenly disappeared.

Gray's smile remained unchanged, and he jumped back a step.

Then, as if the snow beneath him had come to life, it lifted him up and suspended him five or six meters in the air.

The tip of the azure staff gleamed slightly.

Several sharp ice spears rose from the thick white snow on the ground.

Then, skimming along the snow, it sped silently toward Li Xia.

"boom!"

The snow beneath Li Xia suddenly exploded, and the flying snowflakes briefly obscured her vision.

Immediately afterwards, a beam of light, as thick as a pencil, pierced through the snowflakes and instantly passed through space to arrive in front of Gray.

Suddenly, a shield, as white as a snowflake, appeared out of nowhere in the air.

He blocked the attack effortlessly.

Li Xia's eyes lit up. Oh? A third-tier apostle is indeed different. The composure he showed when facing the Strongest Appraisal Technique is something that second-tier novices can't compare to.

and

With his gaze slightly lowered, the ice spears that were close to the ground were already in front of him.

If it weren't for exceptional eyesight and attention, it would be difficult to spot the ice gun that blends almost seamlessly with the snow.

Using the fluttering snowflakes as cover, Li Xia shifted her feet and dodged the ice spear.

Leaving an afterimage behind him, he silently leaped into the air, unleashing his Flying Technique and charging straight towards Gray.

Gray's smile grew even brighter; he had experienced this kind of battle far too many times before.

Whenever they fight against a warrior, they will absolutely try every means to get close.

What a pity, this is a snowfield!

The staff in his hand suddenly burst forth with ripples of light.

Gray swung his arm down with force.

Ultimate Skill: Ice and Snow Prison!

The outcome is decided!

Chapter 239 A Roar of Amazement

Mages and warriors are like a spear and a shield, mutually restraining yet interdependent.

Furthermore, the two sides of the contradiction are not fixed, but constantly transform with distance.

At a sufficient distance, the mage is the spear that tries to pierce the shield, while the warrior is the shield that gets hit.

But when the distance is close enough, the warrior becomes the spear, and the mage becomes the fragile shield.

In the long process of loving and hating each other, in order to avoid becoming a 'unlucky shield'.

Countless apostles racked their brains, coming up with a constant stream of creative ideas.

The imaginative and unconventional moves are truly eye-opening.

The mage's resistance, blinking, and imprisonment—everything was a preparation to create distance.

The warrior's dash, blink, charge, and resistance against skills that only pursue ultimate speed are all aimed at getting close to the mage as quickly as possible.

That's the allure of distance.

Just now

Gray narrowed his eyes, watching the figure hurtling towards him at high speed.

The curve of his lips grew wider and wider.

The activation of the Ice and Snow Prison is not instantaneous; it's like boiling a frog in lukewarm water.

Even at the beginning, it was gentle and there was nothing unusual about it.

Only by venturing into the icy, impenetrable prison can one truly experience what hell is!

For a third-tier apostle, a distance of 100 meters is just a matter of a few breaths.

Gray's pupils reflected the approaching figure.

The light on the staff grew even brighter, and the azure light rippled outwards like waves.

The heavy snow seemed to have stopped in mid-air.

The next second, goose-feather-like snowflakes trembled and swirled around Gray in a frenzied manner.

Each snowflake seemed to have transformed into a sharp blade, its edges shimmering with a faint blue light.

This is not a blizzard, but a terrifying storm formed by tens of thousands of 'blades'!

On the spectator stands, several people looked down at Li Xia, who was enveloped in a blizzard.

A smile appeared on his face, as if the outcome was already decided.

"We won, very easily."

"Our efforts in the last world weren't in vain; the power of this skill is beyond our expectations."

"Has Gray won 19 straight games?"

"It's a bit cruel. In an instant, only the skeleton remains."

As a skill that was painstakingly acquired in the last world, Ice Prison not only transforms large areas of snowflakes into enchanted sharp blades, but also...

There are also various abnormal states such as cold, freezing, deceleration, and stagnation.

As long as the mana value doesn't decrease, the Ice and Snow Prison can continue indefinitely.

So far, no opponent has been able to last more than 20 seconds.

The only downside is that you need to create a snowfield first.

But this game was incredibly lucky; the random location turned out to be an endless snowfield!

"Ding ding ding ding ding"

Blade-like snowflakes struck the illusory dragon scales, producing a fine, continuous tinkling sound.

The snow on the ground seemed to come alive; as soon as you stood on it, it would climb up your body along your feet.

As the snowflakes attacked, the illusory dragon scales gradually solidified, and intense flames flickered within them.

Li Xia suppressed the flames; his original intention was to test the attack methods and intensity of the third-tier attack.

If his sole aim was to win, he could simply stand at a distance and use ranged attacks to trade blows with his opponent.

You'll be the one standing last, but what's the point of such a victory?

Now is not the time to rush for rankings.

The real turning point comes in the late stages of Tier 3.

The world before my eyes was pure white, and the snowflakes were falling more and more fiercely, obscuring my vision.

A very good attack method

The range is very large, exceeding one hundred meters, and even the player's starting position is within the attack range.

So the ice spikes were just for harassment and delaying?

Damage intensity

Li Xia watched the snowflakes that struck the dragon scales, creating tiny sparks.

It should be between 4 and 5?

The Lava Armor has a defense tier of 7, but it is a tier 2 equipment, and its defense is reduced by 0.8 when it is upgraded to tier 3.

Currently only at 5.6, even so, the Lava Armor is still quite excellent as it doesn't take up an equipment slot and doesn't affect the event.

Apart from the blade snowflakes, snowflakes on the ground will not trigger an event as long as they are removed from the ground and do not make actual contact with it.

A very good area-of-effect skill, especially effective against enemies with weak defenses.

A blinding bolt of lightning crackled within the outstretched palm.

"boom!"

The long-suppressed flames roared and broke free of their restraints, and a huge vortex of fire shot into the sky.

Even the raging ice and snow paused briefly in the flames.

The surging heat melted the snowfield, and then began to boil again.

A large amount of water vapor diffused, enveloping Li Xia's figure.

The relaxed smiles of the people on the spectator stands had vanished.

Instead, there was astonishment.

Li Xia suddenly charged forward, the gust of air he created carrying water vapor, as if a misty cloak of clouds had been drawn behind him.

He pointed to Gray, who was standing ten meters away, his face full of astonishment.

"laugh!"

The spear pierced Gray's chest without hesitation, but Li Xia's gaze sharpened.

It doesn’t feel right!

A series of gleaming ice spikes suddenly appeared in the air.

The pierced 'Grey' had somehow turned into an ice sculpture.

He firmly fixed the spear to his chest.

Li Xia's eyes lit up instantly, and a faint excitement rose in his chest.

True Qi surged like boiling water, and the spear in his hand suddenly exploded into lightning that condensed in his hand.

With each flick, each push, and each strike, it seemed as if a shimmering silver flower had bloomed beside Li Xia.

The collision between the ice spear and the silence of the night produced a loud sound, and the spear that was thrown back spun and flew away.

But then it slowly adjusted its direction and charged forward again.

Even when some are broken into two pieces, they are still repairing themselves at an extremely fast speed.

There was a kind of fierce, relentless courage in it.

Is this what third-order is like? It feels completely different from second-order.

In the second-tier arena, even the top 100 mages would have their battle over if they were brought into close combat.

In terms of pure attack power, the ice mage in front of us is not much beyond the second tier.

But his performance up close was surprisingly good.

Li Xia, who was enjoying the game more and more, had no idea that his opponents were almost obsessed with the fight.

Not only Gray, but even his teammates in the stands were stunned.

Ice and Snow Purgatory, as Gray's final ultimate move to perfect his system, was the result of long and careful consideration.

In the middle, he was even willing to give up some skills that seemed pretty good.

It is precisely because the Ice and Snow Purgatory perfectly matches the skill system he had previously created.
