Chapter 9: C09.Ice Domain (2/2)

In the Darknar forest

Staring at the transparent ice walls that formed a prism trapping it, the Rykir was getting more aggravated and rash.

Even though all it's attacks were getting reflected back with twice the strength____ like an aggravated beast the Rykir was getting more irrational, it intelligence no where to be found.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Launching one attacks after another, it tried it's best to avoid as much of the reflected ones as possible which proved almost impossible. The only reason it was still standing was the two skills it had activated, still, this was a testament to how resilient the beast was. Even in this state the Rykir wasn't stupid it could feel the temperature in the prism dropping rapidly as time passes, it didn't want to find out what would happen when the temperature reach a certain extent.

The flames that engulfed its body was the only thing keeping him alive, it didn't have much time untill the skill times out and it would be reduce to an ice sculpture.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

It launched each attack at a single spot with one aim in mind, To escape.

°Blood Rage!°

The greyish-black flames that engulfed its body bust in a Golden red hue, as the flames intensified the Rykir increased in size, until it was almost four metre in height standing on all fours. As its size increased the intensity of his aura skyrocketed tremendously, it raised his right claws and slashed at the ice wall with insane speed and strength.

BOOM! Crack...

The ice wall visibly cracked, it was a small crack that didn't extend more than a couple inches but, it didn't reflect the attack like it did the previous times. The Rykir was visibly relieved, if this had not worked it would had to just sit there and make a pose for him to become an ice sculpture.

Just as it was preparing his next attack the spot that had crack started to repair itself, the Rykir started to panic, even with his final Trump card he still wasn't strong enough to shatter the wall in one hit. Why did it come here to begin with, he had seen two fairly wounded females running through its territory and thought he would teach them a lesson, now however, he was on the verge of dying because of that mistake.

The Rykir began to regret why it did not just let the two girls pass in peace. He had activated three skills already and one of them was very dangerous the longer it was used.

Activating another one might have serious consequences, but he did not have time to consider what might or might not happen, it only had one thought escape and he would do everything in his power to do so no matter the consequences.

°Hell's descent.°

The amount of flames his body emitted multiplied once more, the temperature in the prism started to rapidly increase, it's scales show signs of melting. The Ryrik did not wait a second longer it launched a barrage of attacks at the spot that was about to be repaired.

Crack... Crack... Shatter!

The ice wall shattered under the shear force of so many attacks. The Rykir rushed out of the prism as soon as it could, it turned around to find the lady but it could not locate her.

The entire forest around him was covered in ice, the mist made visibility almost impossible, it was interfering with his senses, the trees and vines were encased in ice, it was like a forest made of ice. The Rykir was alarmed, without knowing where the enemy was it was hard to make a decision on his next action running in a random direction was foolish and would lead to death.

Roar!!!

The Rykir roar echoed around him the sound carried intense flames that blew away the mist and restored it's vision, it saw the lady again, standing in the same spot she had been, several meters away.

It had tried running away but had failed miserably, it was obvious that would be pointless now, his best option was to distract the enemy with one of it's skills, then use that to create an opportunity to escape.

”Ice Prism.”

Before the Rykir could even take a step he heard that icy cold and emotionless voice again. He was devastated, he spent all he's life saving skills just to escape the prism once, it did not expect the lady to be able to use such a powerful skill in such quick successions.

There was no time for despair, it still had some time left on hi skills, as long as it acted now he had a chance to escape. Just as he was about to repeat it's barrage of attacks he heard the dagger of a voice again.

Ice Prism____ Ice void.

As the last words left her mouth the space within the prism lost all forms of an atmosphere, it was as cold and desolate as the vacuum of space. The Rykir skills where now burning through his mana like gas and because of the skill blood rage it's life force was draining as fast a his mana.

The multitude of bad news didn't end there as the Rykir body became stiffer by the second, it body was freezing from the inside.

The Ancient Rykir didn't have a counter for this as his skill had been rendered useless, they kept his body warm but now the cold was coming from the inside, it had no idea of how to solve this problem non the less it refused to die like this, in an act of desperation it burned through its life force faster as it dashed towards it's opponent with bloodshot eyes, the beast moved at near light speed and arrived near the lady in an instant as it prepared to launch a kamikaze attack, taking the lady with him.

The Rykir watched as the lady stared at him emotionlessly with her ice-blue eyes, she hadn't move an inch since the very beginning, even as he launched his suicidal attack, it made him realize one thing, he was out of his league, there was no hope in winning and worst of all it did not even scratch his opponent.

the Rykir was stuck in place only a few inches from it's target, it's leges frozen stiff, It could only look on in despair as he froze to death.
