In the alliance, the more they attack me, the stronger I become!

One of them hit Cheng Xiao right in the abdomen.

Blood gushed out, and a small section of intestine was exposed - fortunately Cheng Xiao had his back to Ashe, otherwise the latter would have been scared.

"We can't move forward unless we completely eliminate them."

Cheng Xiao simply stuffed the intestines back in with his hands and pulled out the arrow before the flesh and blood regenerated.

"You can't get rid of them by running away. The only way to solve the problem is to kill them all."

"But..." Ashe wanted to plan some tactics, but Cheng Xiao had already rushed out with an iron sword.

On the other side of the valley, several fully armed warriors rushed over.

They were all wearing uniform black armor and horned helmets, and the weapons in their hands exuded a strong magical aura. Even Ashe had never seen such luxurious equipment.

Not to mention ordinary Iceborn warriors, I'm afraid even the war mothers of ordinary tribes cannot afford such good equipment.

This attack was unusual...

"Implement the will of ice and snow!"

A black-armored warrior rushed towards Cheng Xiao, his momentum as amazing as his weapon.

But Cheng Xiao is not afraid of them.

He knew the identities of these people.

Drakon.

[Priests] like Marukolo—elite members who obey the orders of the Frost Witch Lissandra directly.

These people are very powerful, but not impossible to deal with.

Ding--!

Drakron's battle axe collided head-on with Cheng Xiao's iron sword, and the latter immediately felt a sharp chill.

The next moment, the iron sword in his hand broke on the spot.

The heavy battle axe struck his chest with incredible force.

In the blink of an eye, his flesh and ribs were all cut off, and the heart wrapped in them was split in two.

Death came in an instant.

The chaotic will and desire for flesh and blood also burst out in an instant.

[Skill [Battle, Awesome!] is in effect.]

[Entered a violent state]

Cheng Xiao, who was originally falling down under the pressure of the battle axe, suddenly exerted force, and his bent spine rebounded quickly like a fully drawn bow, forcing back Drakron who was holding the battle axe.

Before the opponent could react, he stabbed the broken sword again.

Drakron's armor is extremely strong, but gaps between the armor are inevitable.

Cheng Xiao's combat experience has been honed to perfection in the Noxian arena.

He had used the technique of inserting the blade into the gap between the breastplate and the head armor no less than a hundred times.

Pfft!

The carotid artery was cut off instantly. The Drakron tried to cover the wound in panic, but the armor became an obstacle to his life-saving.

To be honest, Cheng Xiao's strength and magic power were not as good as his, but this fighting style of deliberately showing flaws and counterattacking when he couldn't kill her was really hard for him to guard against.

He had a lot of abilities, but died miserably without even being able to cast a single spell.

Ashe also provided support at this time, and several consecutive arrows disrupted the charging formation of the Drakrons.

They were forced to disperse and surround Cheng Xiao.

But... they don't seem afraid.

There was a hint of confidence in that determined look.

Cheng Xiao picked up the battle axe on the ground and rushed towards the other person. The other person obviously had considerable strength but did not choose to fight head-on. Instead, he cunningly started to fight in a roundabout way.

Cheng Xiao realized that her abilities had been seen through by them.

"Implement the will of the Lady of Ice and Darkness!" shouted a mage named Drakron, hiding in the background. "Use the oracle in our dreams to defeat the evil pagans!"

In an instant, all the Drakrons began to brew some kind of cold magic.

Cheng Xiao had a bad feeling and immediately rushed forward more proactively, wanting to exchange his life for others' and quickly reduce the number of people.

A Drakron who was bitten by him had no way to retreat and had to fight back with his sword.

Cheng Xiao had one arm chopped off by the opponent's sword, but his battle axe also successfully broke the armor on the opponent's back.

He immediately tore off and devoured a piece of flesh to maintain the vitality that was rapidly draining away in the [Fight, Enjoy] state.

His damaged body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But just when he was about to continue to exhaust the Drakrons in this way, the magic they had been brewing for a long time took effect.

A biting coldness instantly enveloped Cheng Xiao.

His body quickly froze.

He felt that his vitality had not dissipated, and the magic power in his body still existed, but...

It cannot be circulated.

His magic power was frozen along with his body.

Once his magic power is lost, his self-healing ability will be limited.

Not to mention that his recovery ability during [Battle, Cool] is based on the devouring, transformation and absorption of fresh flesh and blood.

click... click...

In a moment, Cheng Xiao turned into an ice sculpture.

His broken arm also stopped healing.

The Drakrons cheered like victors.

"Lady Ice and Dark's oracle was incredibly accurate! This is the perfect way to destroy the devil!"

"Praise the Lady of Ice and Darkness! Praise the dreams that guide the way forward!"

"Cultists who made a deal with the devil will repent and perish in eternal ice!"

……

A group of people surrounded Cheng Xiao's ice sculpture to celebrate their victory. Ashe not far away posed no threat to them.

Ashe was just an ordinary ice-blooded person—a stronger Iceborn warrior at best? That meant nothing to them.

One Drakron is more than enough to deal with Ashe, not to mention that there are a group of them here now.

Lady Ice and Dark's long-standing rule stems from her caution. She would not let her subordinates give experience to some brave warrior one by one like the stupid villains in fairy tales.

If you want to take action, then send a large army to completely eliminate the threat.

Twenty Drakrons acting together can basically sweep across the entire Freljord.

Ashe looked at this despairing scene, and the coldness in her heart was more difficult for her to accept than the harsh winter in Freljord.

But she won't give up.

The descendants of ice will never give up any hope.

She looked at Cheng Xiao who was frozen into an ice sculpture, and anger replaced despair filling her chest.

"Cheng Xiao...I'm here to save you!"

Chapter 15 Okay, collapse, retreat, sell, and run away!

Cheng Xiao has never underestimated the strength of any Drakon.

Like the traitor Marukolo of the Avarosa clan, each Drakron possesses magical powers beyond comprehension, having seen the deepest darkness within Lissandra's Frost Citadel and survived.

In terms of the purest magical power, Cheng Xiao believes that she cannot beat them.

Some Drakrons who are good at close combat are not inferior to him in strength, or even better.

He never underestimated his enemy.

He fought for his life from the very beginning, using his post-mortem berserker state. He knew they were difficult to deal with, but theoretically, relying on his immortality and berserker state, he should be able to win little by little.

But the development of things was beyond his imagination.

That group of Drakrons... seemed to have known his abilities for a long time and had prepared countermeasures.

This doesn't make sense.

Marukolo had never left the Avarosan tribe, and had no contact with other Drakron or Frost Witch people before he was killed by himself... How did they know?

This strange ice...

Cheng Xiao was frozen in the "ice sculpture" and unable to move, but his consciousness was still there.

He could clearly feel that his self-healing ability was being restricted, and this strong feeling of powerlessness was like...

Just like in the arena in Noxus.

The instructors used special magic-suppressing equipment—some shackles or bracelets and anklets made of Demacia's forbidden magic stone—to suppress his self-healing and regeneration abilities, and then threw him into the arena to test or train his other abilities.

For example, fighting, riding, shooting, reconnaissance, alertness, etc.

Exactly the same feeling...

The Drakrons somehow learned of this ability and developed a way to counter it...

Is it from some kind of "oracle" they are shouting?

For a moment, Cheng Xiao's mind, which was becoming increasingly stiff due to the cold, seemed to have thought of something.

"Go and take care of that Avarosan kid. Do it cleanly."

A man named Drakron who looked like the captain waved his hand to give orders, and immediately several people walked towards the hillside.

To deal with a young Iceborn who was no more than twenty years old, it was already extremely cautious for four Drakrons to attack together - it was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

And Ashe obviously knew this.

It's true that she wanted to rescue Cheng Xiao, but she is not the kind of reckless person who would do stupid things out of passion.

She began to move around the rock wall between the hillside and the valley, constantly attacking several people with her superb archery skills.

Of course, her arrows were nothing to the powerful Drakron - not to mention that their dodge rate was extremely high. Even if they were hit head-on, they would only feel a little pain. Those ordinary arrows could not penetrate the special armor on their bodies.

Ashe fought and retreated, and the Drakrons were not in a hurry. They chased her slowly from behind like a cat chasing a mouse.

Seeing this, Captain Drakron was also relieved and immediately did another equally important thing -

"Take this cultist from Noxus back home."

The captain pushed forward lightly, and the two-hundred-pound "Cheng Xiao Ice Sculpture" was pushed in front of several other Drakons.

The men immediately divided the work and worked together to lift up the ice sculpture, then returned along the same path they had come.

"Be careful not to break this cultist into pieces—this is a collection specifically requested by Lady Ice and Dark. He can use it to feed the One-Eye in the Abyss."

"I understand." Several people nodded, and they handled the ice sculpture with care, as if they were carrying a treasure, which was completely different from their previous fight to the death.

As for Ashe, they were too lazy to even look at her.

The threat of those broken arrows is not as great as the threat of accidentally destroying the ice sculpture.

They carried the ice sculpture and slowly left the valley, but did not notice that the person in the ice sculpture rolled his eyes.

"The abilities of this cultist are quite scary, but his combat effectiveness is very average." The joy of completing the mission spread among everyone, and the Drakrons gradually began to laugh.

"It's really absurd that he's invincible... Fortunately, the oracle told us how to restrain him."

"The wisdom of Lady Ice and Dark has spread throughout the world. Even this cultist knows that he cannot be reborn as long as his magic power is suppressed!"

"As long as he's not killed, he can't be resurrected, and he can't move, so he's naturally useless."
