Chapter 234 – God of Ice’s Fury; Advancing to the Finals (2/2)

Layer upon layer of water screens appeared above the God Slayer Alliance and blocked the snowflakes, lessening the damage a little bit.

“This is bad! My speed is dropping!”

“Mine as well!”

“Oh heavens! What kind of spell is this?! My attack speed is decreased by half!”

The members of the God Slayer Alliance shouted one after another with panicked faces.

“Seize this chance!” bellowed HeadofGod on seeing the scroll take effect. Then, he Stealthed and ran towards the opponents.

“I’ll control the ballista.” With a ferocious smile, TheFugitive quickly headed to the Plenilune Ballista.

“What the hell are you so frantic about?! Knights, defend!. Do not leave a single opening, shields up! Rogues, construct traps around us. We’ll only have to wait for them to be activated.”

Following God Slayer’s command, the team’s formation shrank as the players stayed close to one another. The knights put up their shields in the outer circle, building a shield wall half a human tall. Attacking them now would be the same as a dog biting a turtle; there was simply no place to crunch.

God Slayer raised his head to check the sky, waiting for the magic formation to expire. However, unlike what he’d expected, several minutes passed without a single sign of the formation getting weaker.

“It’s so cold. Damn it! My stats are dropping!”

“What do we do?! Are we gonna freeze to death now?!”

Complaints broke out in the God Slayer Alliance. However, a glare from God Slayer immediately made them quiet.

Circling around the enemy party, HeadofGod was helpless to discover that there was no opening at all. The enemy’s defense was too tight.

The God Slayer Alliance cast attack spells from within the circle as well, but their stats and attack speed were reduced by God of Ice’s Fury, so their attacks posed no threat. After several tries, they simply stopped wasting their mana and quietly waited for the formation to end.

Bzzz… No matter how strong their shields were, they couldn’t stop a ballista bolt. With no one disturbing him this time and the opponents all gathered up in one place, TheFugitive’s bolt directly skewered and insta-killed six players.

However, the Plenilune Ballista only played a minor role. Having the word ‘God’ in its name, God of Ice’s Fury wasn’t so simple as only reducing the opponent’s speed. The more snowflakes that fell, the fiercer the storm. Everyone’s sight was a stretch of pure white, hindering them from seeing distant players.

TheFugitive pocketed the Plenilune Ballista. He couldn’t attack when he was unable to see his target.

“Go, let’s go take a look.” After a dozen minutes or so, HeadofGod decided.

“Go? Just like this?” asked Fatty, surprised.

“Just like this.” HeadofGod nodded and led the team members over.

“What on earth! Wh-what is that scroll? It's epic!”

The audience broke into a hubbub, because the spot where the members of the God Slayer Alliance originally stood had been replaced with a massive ice block.

Inside the ice block were indistinct figures. While they were hazy, everyone immediately understood that the figures were the missing thirty-odd people.

“How much is it worth?” Fatty turned his head to ask.

“At least this price.” HeadofGod put up three fingers.

“Three hundred thousand?”

“No, three million.”

“Hiss… You wastrel! Will the champion reward give you that much money?!” Fatty flushed red in rage.

Kah… A silver spear suddenly broke through the ice block and shot like lightning to the nearest person – Fatty.

It happened all too abruptly. Fatty was a bit startled, but he didn’t grow frantic. He bent back almost 90 degrees, his body virtually parallel with the spear.

Clang! A cold silver gleam struck the spear’s tip. Fatty stomped his legs and slid out with his body very close to the ground.

Boom! Like a randomly dancing snake, the cold gleam kicked up a storm where it struck. The ice shattered and melted, cracks emerged around a deep hole was blown out on the ground.

As for the spear, it came to a complete stop after half the length was stabbed out from the ice block, as if its owner had exhausted all of his energy after the strike and was unable to continue.

“RighteousBloodCleansestheSilverSpear, as expected of a top-class expert.”

Looking at the half of the spear sticking out, whether it was God Familia or the players in the audience, they couldn’t help but feel deep respect for RighteousBloodCleansestheSilverSpear.

The falling of snow was still growing denser and denser, those inside couldn't even see their fingers now.

Ding.

System Notification: The second match of the semi-finals of the First Under Heaven Tournament Guild’s Group Category has ended. The winner is God Familia. The finals will take place one day later.

Leaving the map, HeadofGod’s expression didn’t have any hint of joy from successfully advancing to the next round. Instead, he let out a sigh and deeply furrowed his brows.
