Chapter 468: Corey the Ice Celestial (1/2)
GDK 468: Corey the Ice Celestial
The three evil knights who had been reformed by Han Shuo all wore armour that gleamed like mirrors, wielding extremely long bone spur that carried an intense aura of death. Counterintuitively, the three charged at the front-most line.
Mounted on massive fire-spitting warhorses and holding huge bone spurs in their hands, the kick-ass evil knights exuded inexhaustible aura of death as they charged head on at Corey and his party.
Behind the three evil knights were five additional evil knights who were not reforged with demonic magic, and behind them were the mummy lord and bone devil. As for the five strange looking elite zombies of five elements: earth elite zombie and wood elite zombie utilized their innate skills, hiding deep beneath the earth and hiding in a outlandish plants respectively. Fire, water, and metal elite zombies mixed themselves among remaining zombie warriors that survived by mere chance, and slowly dispersed to encircle Corey and his men.
Corey, wielding a longsword coated with a layer of ice as tough as diamond that emanated bone-chilling cold air, before the three evil knights got near him, he suddenly let out a cold groan and brandished the longsword in his hand. Colorless fighting aura mixed with frosty cold aura launched out from the longsword and headed for the three evil knights on fire-spitting warhorses.
Frigid air current found between heaven and earth that could freeze any ordinary living organism congregated immediately with the colourless fighting aura. The originally colourless and formless fighting aura exploded with bright light and assimilated with the cold air current, forming a colossal icicle glittering with frosty light. The icicle mixed with indestructible fighting aura shot towards the three evil knights.
Han Shuo, who was standing beside dark dragon Gilbert, smirked and vanished in the blink of an eye. When his body was again visible, he was standing tall in the air ahead of the evil knights, and threw a ferocious punch from above.
As though a red dragon had shot out from Han Shuo’s hand, under the propelling of Mystical Glacial Spellfire, red flames danced around his fist. Carrying scorching light and heat, it pounded right in the middle of the colossal icicle.
Creak!
A crisp shatter of ice rock resonated. Under the effect of Han Shuo’s ferocious force, the slender and long demonic flame first made a big hole on the icicle, only then from within the icicle it released the intense heat it carried, evaporated away the icicle that contained Corey’s colorless fighting aura.
“Your opponent, is me!” Step by step, without touching the ground, Han Shuo marched towards this Ice Celestial from the Shrine of Ice. As raging flames burned in both his hands, the searing heat interweaved with cold air found all around, producing fine water droplets that rained down.
“Who, who the hell are you?” Corey shouted, his heart palpitating with fear. After that strike from Han Shuo, this Ice Celestial of the Shrine of Ice finally had a taste of just how daunting was Han Shuo’s strength was.
Even without actively probing Corey with his consciousness, over such short distances, Han Shuo could still sense Corey’s actual strength. Corey however, despite possessing exceedingly formidable strength, didn’t have such miraculous demonic arts as Han Shuo. Therefore, from the beginning, Corey failed to realize that Han Shuo was an opponent of the same grade.
Afterall, it was exceedingly rare to find demigod existences in the whole of Profound Continent. In his defense, Corey had come prepared. Nearly every cream of the crop expert in the Shrine of Ice, apart from Tiana, was brought here. He did not think that somebody he randomly came across in the dark dragons’ territory would possess such strength to contend against them.
Most significantly, as the demonic arts which Han Shuo practiced was as different as it could be from the martial arts in this world, Corey did not feel any circulation of fighting aura in Han Shuo’s body, thus dismissed the possibility that he was a martial arts practitioner. Only after Han Shuo withdrew his skeletal staff did Corey realize that Han Shuo was merely a necromancer. When he saw that Han Shuo did not summon bone dragon, he even further looked down upon Han Shuo.
A mere grand magus was nothing in his eyes. Any one of his five subordinates could easily finish Han Shuo. Hence, he never would have expected Han Shuo to be of any threat!
However, when he discovered that Han Shuo could smash his icicle in one strike, he knew he was gravely mistaken in his assessment. That was the reason he again interrogated about Han Shuo’s origin gravely.
“You are about to be no more than a corpse anyway, why bother asking?” Han Shuo stared at Ice Celestial Corey with murder in his eyes. The two fireballs in his hands, formed by congealing demonic yuan energy, hurled at Corey as Han Shuo finished.
Perhaps only characters the grade of this Ice Celestial could truly understand the power of the energy contained within these seemingly ordinary fireballs! He roared, and his longsword fluttered, sending sparking, translucent cold air towards the two demoniacal fireballs.
Against Corey’s expectations, the raging fireballs that were flying towards him in straight lines, evaded the discharge coming from his longsword with bizarre, sinuous maneuvers. Like two autonomous living beings, the fireballs with their unpredictable trajectory again came flying towards him.
Behind the two diabolical fireballs stood Han Shuo, wearing a smile even colder than this world of ice and snow he was in. He sent a command to earth elite zombie, then told dark dragon Gilbert from a distance , “You’re just going to have to look after your grandpa in a moment!”
The spell released simultaneously by two sacred grade magi filled the entire region with intensely frigid air, a mixture of snowflakes and ice shards fluttering everywhere, as though there was a frozen mountain where the Shrine of Ice was located.
