”What are you standing there for? Are you waiting for the fire to burn you to death!?” snapped Shi Gua at the eight Ice Magicians when he saw the Fiery Sorceress breaking into the villa.
The eight Ice Magicians did not expect the Fiery Sorceress's strength to be so overwhelming. Their ice walls were destroyed one by one, even when the walls were sturdy enough to trap an Advanced Magician!
They exchanged glances with one another. They no longer dared to underestimate their opponent after witnessing the Fiery Sorceress' terrifying power. They immediately gathered all the energy and transferred it into the formation's foci. They even expended the Ice Magic Ores which they had saved up over many years, just to further increase the power of the Demon-sealing Ice Formation!
The Demon-sealing Ice Formation was different from other entrapping formations. It was not merely an entrapping formation, but one with a continuous effect.
The formation would first mark the target and continuously summon ice walls to surround them.
If the target failed to break the ice walls in time, the walls would continue to stack up, increasing the thickness of the walls. When the walls reached a certain thickness, it would completely seal the target within the enclosed space.
Therefore, even when the Fiery Sorceress had entered the villa, the Demon-sealing Ice Formation was still active. More ice appeared around the Fiery Sorceress to build the walls, and regardless of where she was moving, the walls would follow right behind her, until eight walls appeared and enclosed their target...
It was obvious that the Fiery Sorceress had realized how extraordinary the formation was. She was initially planning to attack the couple in the attic, yet when she saw the ice walls about to entrap her, she had no choice but to divert her attention and attack the walls with fire instead.
The pieces continued to fall from the sky. Although the Fiery Sorceress was stuck in the middle of the formation that could freeze her in the ice anytime, it did not necessarily mean that the Fiery Sorceress was unable to unleash her destructive power.
She began to multitask by drawing a fiery ring with her left hand, summoning a fire cloud that loomed over the entire villa and dropped a rain of fire. Her right hand was used as a fist, each punch able to shatter the walls...
”I'll be your opponent!” Shi Gua leapt into the sky. His movements were surprisingly nimble, reaching a height of twenty meters!
As he reached the highest point, he flung both hands forward. More than ten thick icy chains appeared before him, intertwining into a tall pillar which Shi Gua landed right on top of!
Shi Gua was able to control the Ice Spells as he wished. He did not have Wing Equipment, nor did he have the Wind Wings, yet with his nimble Magic Boots and his agility, he was able to move freely in the air using pillars constructed by ice chains...
He could make the ice chains sturdy and flexible as he wished, allowing him to use them both for offensive and defensive purposes. Shi Gua used Ice Lock to create a domain of chains that granted him the ability to move freely in the air, allowing him to face the Fiery Sorceress.
The Fiery Sorceress was busy breaking the ice walls while defending herself from Shi Gua's Advanced Spells, so she had no chance to attack the villa.
However, the Fiery Sorceress clearly possessed other power apart from Fire. Her furious gaze emitted a brilliant glow, as her will transformed into a strong force grabbing at the annoying ice chains that Shi Gua had set up!
The force itself was invisible, yet when the ice chains broke into pieces, it was fairly obvious that the force had the shape of a giant hand. It had torn the chains apart with a crushing grip.
