Chapter 179 – Unnecessary Concern (2/2)

Caesar should have been happy after Lin Xiao finished casting, but he unconsciously clicked his tongue, watching the fading magic circuit with a complicated expression.

The remainder of the fight had nothing to do with him anymore, although he really wanted to personally give Veblen a beating, but he had to leave that place as soon as possible, otherwise, he might get caught in Lin Xiao’s magic.

“A dance of ice and snow?”

Watching the floating snowflakes, Veblen was dumbstruck.

Fifth level magic, a dance of ice and snow, it has a large range, but low destructive power, it creates ice and snow atmosphere in a limited area, and lowers the temperature, it was like a weaker version of the seventh level ‘Snow storm’.

But with double chant’s amplification, then it wasn’t that weak anymore.

The temperature of the original still and quiet forest plummeted, a layer of frost covered the grass, and the red marks on Veblen’s body grew dim.

In an instant, a snowstorm swirled.

The first person who was hit couldn’t even scream before he was buried in snow, he was completely frozen and couldn’t move at all.

Veblen cried out in alarm and tried running, but it was already too late, snow filled his vision as far as he could see, and he didn’t even know where he should escape to.

It doesn’t matter, he just needed to rush straight! He definitely can rush out of its range.

He decided and started running, but he quickly realized that he couldn’t run, it was like he couldn’t control his body, his legs became heavy, numb.

The ground was already completely covered in ice and snow, each step he took left a deep footprint. Every step took so much of his energy, and he became increasingly tired, his consciousness growing hazy. In the end, without him noticing, he also froze into an ice sculpture.

Just like that, all four members from Water Academy became popsicles and the battle came to an end.

Watching the snow continue to fall, Lin Xiao wasn’t in a rush to plunder the crystal, but he looked behind and saw the axe embedded in the tree.

Of course, he knew what happened he just didn’t know why Elena lent him a ‘foot’.

He muttered to himself then turned to stare at Elena.

“Why’d you kick me?” He never said what he really wanted to ask, while he brushed away the clear footprint left behind on his ass to show he was relaxed, while using an inquisitive tone to probe her.

“Because you were asking for it.” Elena coldly responded.

“Tsk, tsk… y-you weren’t trying to save me, right?” He swept his gaze across Elena’s face then looked away, and nonchalantly mumbled, “How strange, you wanted to poison me before, so why did you save me today… Elena, I won’t thank you, because that’s your duty as a maid.”

He thought that Elena would blush, but she was unmoving, and said what she had already prepared.

“Idiot, don’t get too full of yourself. I just thought it would be bothersome, it would be better if you die after we get rid of the contract.”

“Uh…”

Although it was natural, it felt uncomfortable, and wasn’t what he was expecting.

“A-actually, I already anticipated an ambush! Even if you didn’t help me, I could easily avoid it.” Lin Xiao glanced at her and obstinately said.

“Oh, good, then you’re really strong, you can even evade an attack while double chanting… you must show me next time.” Elena’s flat tone sounded extremely satirical.

“What’s so difficult about that? I can even multi-cast while double chanting. Do you believe me?”

“Yes, you’re very strong.”

“Of course.”

“You can even fly, turn into a red-eyed black cat and swat me to death.”

“Uh….”

Lin Xiao opened his mouth but didn’t know how to follow up, he could only glare at her, then silently wait for the snow to stop falling to plunder he crystals.

During that time, he was only preoccupied with bickering with Elena, questioning why she saved him, but forgetting that she wasn’t the only one that wanted to save him.

“Hehe…”

From the start to the end, Shen DaiYing was ignored by the two like she was part of the background. She wasn’t able to interrupt and could only stand by silently and awkwardly smiling.

Was her worry and concern unnecessary?
