597 Sigh Of The Ice Seal (2/2)
Wang Tong let the soldiers pass him as he offered his encouragement to each and every one of them. He knew that words were unnecessary, so he simply patted on the shoulders of each passing warrior, which was enough to reignite the will to battle their hearts.
As the retinue started to gain more speed, the head of the group suddenly stopped as a wave of clangs and clanks could be heard amidst the roaring gale. A new front of the blizzard attacked the soldiers with tennis ball seized hails with thorny spikes.
”Defend yourself! ”
Everyone cranked up their GN force to ward off the assault; in a blink, the three hundred soldiers were engulfed with whiteness. Compared to the blizzard, the Zergs' attack seemed modest. The hail grew in size as the center of the storm approached closer to the soldiers. If the warriors didn't have their defensive shield up, the hailstones could have pieced through their METAL and into their flesh.
The METAL warriors reacted quickly and shielded their mastery caster partners with their body. In the middle of the METAL warriors stood Yin Tianzong. He raised his war shield high above his head, trying to cover as many spaces as he could.
However, after a few minutes, the blizzard still ravaged on without any sign of slowing down. Some of the METAL warriors were already near their limits.
Seeing this, Wang Tong launched himself to the sky toward the center of the storm; he knew that it didn't do anything soon, his soldiers would not make it.
Suddenly, a golden light shone through a crack in the dark clouds. Wang Tong opened up his sea of consciousness and attempted to connect his soul energy with the raging blizzard.
Xiao Yuyu and Guan Dongyang could only stare at him with fear and stress; this was suicide. The energy in this area was feral, and was able to render even the most powerful mastery caster into derangement.
Wang Tong opened his arm slowly and let the golden energy pour out of his system. The golden flow melted anything it touched as it slowly took over the storm.
In such a ravaging storm, the only thing that could protect him was soul essence.
Suddenly, a gush of wild energy rammed into his system as pain shot through his body. However, Wang Tong didn't flinch. He had gone through enough torment in his life; this was nothing.
The soul essence—sigh of the ice seal!
In front of the team, a giant blue wall appeared out of nowhere. Wang Tong's hair stood upright like a field of golden ginger corn; some loose strands tossed around by the current of energy around him.
The blue ice wall grew in size, soon reaching sixty meters in height. The blizzard bombarded the stony surface of the wall, but it stood unwaveringly.
Xiao Libie's mouth gaped wide open as he stared at the incredible sight. This was not a mastery spell; it was a miracle.
Guan Dongyang patted on Xiao Libie's shoulder and said, ”You will get used to it. Wang Tong is not an ordinary human, and Mount Dynamo will not stop us.”
Wang Tong landed back to the ground, his face looking paler than before. However, determination still glinted in his eyes. ”We will rest for now, and will start once the storm is over.”
”Roger!”
On the boundless mountain range, Wang Tong built his warriors a cozy shelter. Everyone knew that this would be their last respite before they made it to the top. So, they hurried to eat, drink, or take a nap.
Wang Tong sat in a corner and started cultivation. This soul essence spell wouldn't have been so taxing on his system if the natural energy weren't so unruly and aggressive. Even with the power of soul essence, Wang Tong needed to recuperate immediately after casting the spell.
Once Wang Tong had given the order to take a rest, the Mastery casters started to help the METAL warriors to heal their bodies. Although there had been no fights, a lot of soldiers were suffering from frostbite. They needed to be looked after immediately before they transgressed into serious injuries.
The warrior's wills were iron, but their body was made out of flesh. The vicious elements could claim a soldier's life when he or she was least expecting it.
