After a long period of probing each other, it took only an instant of collision for the dagger in Anna's hand to shatter against the greatsword.
Her face was split open by the thrusting greatsword, the wound deep enough to expose bone. Before her blood could fall, it froze into crimson frost and vanished into the spreading storm.
At the same time, several horrifying gashes appeared across Gale's one sword-wielding arm, throat, chest, and even groin. Blood-stained ice spikes pierced out from the wounds, coldness spreading through his body.
A grievous wound!
No matter how swift and nimble one's reactions were, they still had limits.
Even if those limits lasted only an instant.
Using her own vital points as bait to lure her opponent into attacking, wagering her life, then suddenly counterattacking at the final moment.
E Yue's ultimate art launched multiple attacks in an instant, driving that killing intent thoroughly into her opponent's body!
The situation changed abruptly.
Yet Huai Shi, standing outside the field, could not help but sigh.
Before a smile could even appear on Anna's face, she felt a violent gale rushing toward her.
The Crowned One, who should have been utterly shattered, charged forward as though unharmed. Burning sacred radiance enveloped his greatsword, and under the gleam of the Ranch Owner's blessing, he accelerated once again and slashed!
The sound of ice crystals shattering rang out.
In the violent impact, Anna's entire body was smashed into countless fragments of ice and snow powder beneath the slash and collision, swiftly collapsing and melting away. As the blizzard gathered again, her outline painfully reassembled itself on the other side.
Like Shao Siming's Shadow Burial Shuttle, she had briefly transformed herself into Source Matter and been reborn despite being below the fourth rank.
The Maiden of Frost's essence
