Chapter 429: Frozen Burial!

Rumble!
A sinister howl of wolves; a threatening shine of blade. Even Savior felt a numbing sensation upon his scalp as the Angel Faction’s advantage was instantly dismantled…
Danger!
Although it appeared illogical to countless players that Qin Ruo’s Angelic Wings did not vanish, that did not surprise Savior. Only he was aware that Light: Devour was not a real Tier 5 AoE attack spell—even if it did have a similar effect, it did not have the capacity to severe Angelic Wings.
Even so, Qin Ruo’s endurance exceeded his expectations.
The max-level defensive shield would have kept Qin Ruo protected from some attacks, but the remaining blows could definitely have utterly shattered any barrier and swiftly kill any Tier 5 Supreme Champion… unless, like him, his opponent was fully equipped with HP increase attributes items, and have more than a thousand HP!
It was a pity that it proved not to be the case—Qin Ruo’s dual defense had indeed collapsed, but outside his body, another non-Aquamancer barrier had instantly activated.
Reactive defensive magic!
When Savior realized what was happening, Qin Ruo was already streaking downward from high above! Before he entered the range of attack, three strikes of Lycan Barrages reached him with astonishing might as if lightning, instantly detonating with unstoppable offensive force and combat skill.
Savior’s gaze tightened. Knowing at once what would happen if he collided with Qin Ruo’s barrier, he was finally forced to employ his final killer move…
“World Killer!”
As Savior’s expression turned somber, a colossal behemoth appeared, tearing apart space itself as it appeared at the northern sector of Moonrise City.
Thud!!!
When that colossal monster with an ox head and a human body that stood over a dozen meters tall appeared above Moonrise City, countless players felt the city walls quake.
“Moo!!!”
A cow’s cry and black horns streaked toward the horizon as the horrific Pet that Savior had summoned planted its two humongous feet on both of Savior’s sides intimidatingly as if a demon god!
When that colossus appeared, a pair of palms that billowed in dark light slammed toward Qin Ruo’s three shots of Lycan Barrages at Savior with an almighty force…
Boom!!
Lycan Barrage was dispelled at once!
Meanwhile, Savior drew out a magic scroll from his bag and opened it in one swift stroke.
“Sword of Kesri! Judgment!”
In the instant he cast the Tier 5 AoE spell, Savior was laughing coldly inside.
‘Hmph! Tier 5 novice,’ he thought. ‘You’re still inexperienced.’
However, when Savior’s Pet ‘World Killer’ had just nullified Qin Ruo’s Tier 5 AoE spell, the corner of his eyes caught a golden flash behind a corpse that made his heart skip a beat.
Shadowfox!
A flash of golden streaked toward his face—even as powerful magical energy gushed from Savior’s scroll, the golden tail had already swept past the golden greatsword that had materialized from it!
“…”
In that instant, time appeared to freeze.
Savior watched as the downswing of the golden greatsword abruptly slowed and twitched obviously, before dense spiderweb-shaped cracks appeared all over the blade.
At the same time, Violet Orchid who was straddling over Mutated Violetfox waved, shooting a golden arrow that stabbed directly into the colossal minotaur. As if bombarded heavily, the monster froze for a moment, allowing Qin Ruo to agilely evade its massive palm and dart on top of the ramparts…
In range, Qin Ruo did not hesitate!
The mana core radiance on his cloak dimmed!
Boom!!!
A frozen atmosphere rose into the skies from the northern ramparts, and Qin Ruo landed above the city walls almost simultaneously with twelve Frostramparts!
As the Frosthamparts landed steadily, Qin Ruo could clearly see Savior’s astonished gaze…
“Burst!”
The cold words were uttered with haste—once the twelve Frostramparts appeared, Qin Ruo no longer cared if Savior had the capacity to retaliate or if he was Frozen, and detonated all twelve at once! Against a champion of such level, he must not show any sympathy!
Boom!!!
Frozen Burial!
***
With a resounding echo, every player spectating Qin Ruo ‘s clash against Savior felt a strong throb in their hearts!
Boundless frost burst from above the city, engulfing everything dozens of meters within, including the colossal monster. It was as if Moonrise City was shooting the most dazzling and beautiful of fireworks…
Amidst the most violent of collisions, Violet Orchid, Violetmoon Devilite, Xiaoxiao led a crowd of Black Jail members and Radiant Priest from Clans, diving towards the zone shrouded in frost. Unlike others who were nervously guessing who would come out on top, Violet Orchid and her party were fully confident in Qin Ruo. They were perfectly aware of the destructive force of those twelve Frostamparts, just as they know how terrible when it detonated at once.
After the monster was struck by Violet Orchid’s Tier 5 Psystrike, Savior was also under the effect of twelve Frostramparts…
Without any defensive spells, Savior’s death was assured!
***
Captain Savior was killed in action!
Amongst the Demon Faction, the other nine members in Savior’s party simultaneously received the combat status.
The man who was was flapping his Demonic Wings on the northern side of the city paused, staring in shock at the blinding white snow far away!
Black Widow, who was hurrying to Moonrise City from Monster Mountains stopped in the boundless dark sky, staring blankly into the distance, her Demonic Wing flapping feebly…
The other seven reacted in equal shock.
Savior had fallen, slain by Qin Ruo the Winter Demon!
None would believe the outcome—that Savior, publicly acknowledge one of the most powerful individuals in the Demonic Faction, had lost to a newly promoted Tier 5 Champion. Even so, after reading their captain’s battle log, each of them inhaled sharply.
It was one terrific battle!
In less than half a minute, Slayer had flamboyantly killed eleven Tier 5 champions, including Apocalypse, Daisywave, Slayer’s Heart, Subjugator, Judge, Black Rock. However, he was also forced to cast his ultimate skill ‘Light: Devour’, and was forced to summon ‘World Devastator’ just as he lost his defensive barriers…
They could already imagine the ferocity of that fight.
Having lost Demonic Wings and surrounded by so many Tier 5 Champions of the Angelic Faction, forced to unleash hidden ability after hidden ability only to be nullified time after time, maimed and finally fallen.
Although dead, Savior’s combat feats were glorious… Killing eleven people before falling, even killing two of those Tier 5 Champions twice. It was a feat that one could be proud of!
However, Savior’s fall was certainly a decisive blow on the Demon Faction’s assault on the northern ramparts!
***
“Jesus! Leon!”
A somber voice echoed in the Party Channel.
“Here!”
“Damn it! No time for nonsense—I’m already there!”
Leon and Jesus had different responses. The former, having witnessed how Violet Orchid and Qin Ruo had rallied the forces to a great resurgence and held the gates, calmly decided that he was in no position to fight them, not with the winds in their sails.
On the other hand, Death Jesus could not calm himself at all. Having learned that Savior died by Qin Ruo’s hand, there was guilt in his heart—with one hasty line, he dove down at once to the battlefield!”
“Jesus, don’t do anything stupid! You can’t fight them all by yourself! All of their personnel have already revived, with four angels… no, they have almost Tier 5 Champions!” Leon knew at once that things were going awry when he heard Death Jesus’s raging outburst, and quickly halted his party member’s impulsive actions.
“I don’t care if you have a death wish, but you should at least be sure that you could do better than Savior, who killed eleven Tier 5s before dying… And you? Can’t even handle one Winter Demon.”
“You think I can’t do it?!”
But just Jesus retorted, Savior spoke into the Party Channel with a rather mocking tone.
“What’s with the bickering? And here I was thinking that someone is gonna console me… did all of you dump your kindness to the dogs?”
“The cheek. Didn’t all this happen because of you? Provoking so many Tier Fives—who do you think you are, a goddamn cockroach? Or is that zone lacking personnel so horribly? For goodness’s sakes, if I didn’t browse through the battle log I would have thought that you died a noob death like Death Jesus, getting done in by a Tier 5 Aquamancer in a single duel! F*ckin’ hell!” As the voice that mocked Death Jesus before spoke again, it certainly did not forget to throw another jibe at Death Jesus—it appears that the pair were not on good terms.
This time, Death Jesus surprisingly did not retort…
“Just wait. I’ll work with Leon and take down that zone again, and resurrect you!”
“It’s fine,” Savior said somberly. “I’m more aware of the situation up north than you are—every Tier 5 Champion, leaving those few under Leon. Given that the other zones can’t spare the men, we stand no chance with just the few of you.”
Savior’s words resonated with Leon. Ever since the former had been struck down by Qin Ruo’s multiple burst, the Demon Faction players at the north side of the city were routed and simply unable to form any meaningful resistance. With almost thirty Tier 5 Champions attacking them, they were beaten back on every turn, just like how they had been when they tried to force their way forward…
The Angel Faction was quickly reclaiming lost ground!
Furthermore, in Savior’s last stand, Qin Ruo’s performance stopped him from ever daring to underestimate the Winter Demon ever again. That Aquamancer’s instant kill did not only take down Savior, but also Savior’s pet, ‘World Killer’! Eighty-five hundred HP had been blown away in a split second… the horror of Qin Ruo’s instant kill was there for all to see.
Moreover, it could only be through the Memory Attribute that the mysterious twelve Frostramparts could be promptly cast.
A powerful Pet, formidable offense, exquisite skill in control, special multi-faceted combat skills… With a set of highest grade items as a buffer, Qin Ruo’s ability has completely surpassed novice Tier 5 Champion levels!
If they had done as Death Jesus suggested, one of them would have to fight Qin Ruo with their full power… Meanwhile the other person would simultaneously face off against three opponents who have Angelic Wings, not to mention the Tier 5 Radiant Priest whose combat ability should not be ignored as well, and could certainly fight many opponents at once—Violet Orchid.
The outcome was clear.
“By the way, Savior… what do you think of Qin Ruo’s ability?” The voice that had kept taunting Death Jesus suddenly turned their focus to a certain other person.
