The Power of the Cold Wind

After dealing with the animals, Lili walked to the ice table and touched the texture on its surface. 💔🐉 💔🍓

"Alright, let's end this maze game here. I think I've almost remembered."

As she finished speaking, her hand seemed to be scalded, steam rising from it. Then she slowly raised it, blood dripping from her fingertips, the blood shimmering with an icy blue light.

Are you alright?

"Stay away, don't bother me."

She told us to step back, then muttered some strange incantations. Suddenly, the ground shook, and the walls rumbled as if they were about to collapse.

Fortunately, I've already swept away the dust, otherwise the whole room would be filled with dust now.

After the shaking stopped, the hall changed again. Light from several passageways shone onto the ice table, and the entire hall was enveloped in a ghostly blue light.

The walls and floor were covered with strange patterns, and the four giant statues collapsed with a crash, releasing the robed mages inside.

"Master, we have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Open a way out, I want to leave this place."

"Yes, my master."

Several Purple Robe Mage, their faces ashen, appeared to have been dead for an unknown period of time. At Lili's summons, they each cast spells to form a magic circle.

Just then, a Snow Lion suddenly appeared above the ice table. It roared and knocked back several mages, destroying the magic array in the process.

This Snow Lion was clearly different in presence from the other animals; its mane was clean and thick, making it look majestic!

"Ryan, don't you recognize me?" Lili actually recognized the Snow Lion, but instead of responding, the Snow Lion attacked her!

"Ryan, calm down, I don't want to hurt you!"

The Snow Lion didn't stop for a moment, finally angering Lili, who used Ice and Snow Magic again to try to trap the lion, but unfortunately failed.

"Cough cough cough..." Lili coughed for a while, and blood seeped from the corner of her mouth. This blood was different from before; it was bright red.

The Snow Lion roared and charged again. This time, Lili was truly angry. She brought her hands together, and a dark blue-black orb appeared in the air.

Then, with a clasp of his hands, the magic orb slammed into the Snow Lion, trapping it inside. No matter how much it struggled, it couldn't escape.

"How are you? I see you've vomited blood."

"It's alright, he just needs a rest. You all keep an eye on these mages, make sure nothing goes wrong."

We spread out in the four corners as Lili had instructed, afraid that something might happen again that would interrupt the sorcerer's ritual. But this time, the sorcerer didn't move.

"Hey, what's wrong with you guys? You're not even listening to my orders anymore?"

"You are not my master, you are an intruder!"

Suddenly, the mages changed their attitude, transforming the ice lotuses in their hands into magical weapons and blasting them towards us.

The domineering magic was incredibly cold and sinister, completely suppressing my Wind Force!

Riven wasn't doing well either; a thin layer of frost had formed on the surface of her broken sword.

Dick's left arm was frozen first, and then his whole body turned into a block of ice!

Only Lili seemed to be handling it with ease, but it looked like she wouldn't be able to keep it up for long; her magic was already depleted.

"Oh no, they recognized us!"

"Aren't you their master?"

I'll explain later!

Lili had no time to spare and focused solely on dealing with the mages, but they were like animals in an ice sculpture; even if they were stabbed, they wouldn't get hurt, and their magic seemed inexhaustible!

"Ugh, this is so annoying!"

Lili turned her head to look at the Snowman beside her, and suddenly grabbed one of them. The Snowman immediately fell to the ground, seemingly having its power drained. Although her method was somewhat cruel, I had no right to say that, after all, she was saving us.

"Freeze it!"

With Lili's shout, the mages were frozen into ice sculptures once more, and the hall finally returned to calm.

My heart was pounding. At that moment, the Gale Sword was covered in a layer of frost, which was very difficult to wipe off.

"Use Fire Dragon's Fang!" Riven reminded me.

We each began cleaning our weapons, but before we could finish, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the passage—the sound of the wind.

"Watch out, a new attack is coming!" Lili moved closer to us, and I quickly used my Gale Force to block the cold wind coming from all directions, which felt even more strenuous than outside.

Even with the blessing of the Fire Dragon's Fang, a chill still seeped into my body from the depths of my being.

"Stop insisting, Yasuo, this won't work. Didn't you two enhance your Wind Element power in my storm? Now continue!"

"But I'm afraid I'll freeze to death before I even get used to this cold wind!"

"I can hold on a little longer. You should turn off the mini-storm and hurry up and comprehend it. Don't let it take you three days to master it like last time, or we'll all be finished."

After Lili finished speaking, she erected a magical barrier, occasionally letting in a bit of cold wind so that we could experience it firsthand.

"You should join too, Riven. I feel like sometimes you grasp things faster than I do."

"Okay, I'll give it a try!"

We sat cross-legged on the ground, holding our breath and concentrating, constantly sensing the movement and sensation of the cold wind.

This kind of strong wind is actually not difficult to control, because it is powerful and the Wind Force is more obvious. The main thing is whether the body can withstand it.

Not long ago, in the storm summoned by Lili, if it weren't for the Fire Dragon's Fang, we probably wouldn't have had the chance to enjoy that force. The situation is similar now, except that the cold wind is even stronger and has a greater penetrating power.

When I was learning the Wind Riding Technique before, no matter what kind of Wind Force I comprehended, it was always very uncomfortable at first. However, as I gained a deeper understanding, a sense of comfort would spread throughout my body. This was also the case with the storms that Lili summoned. But the cold wind I'm experiencing now doesn't feel the same way.

Even when I felt I could control it, my body remained ice-cold and utterly uncomfortable, which made me seriously doubt whether I had truly mastered this Wind Force.

Just as I was hesitating, I heard Lili shout, "Is it not done yet? I can't hold on much longer!"

My meditation was interrupted, so I had to open my eyes and find Riven and Lili helping me block the cold wind.

I noticed her face was a little pale, and I wasn't sure how well she was understanding. "How are you feeling? Are you in any discomfort?"

"Unlike before, my body feels constantly cold."

"It seems we feel the same way. I wonder if it was successful."

"Whether it succeeds or not, we'll know once we try!" Lili said, giving us no time to react, and immediately removed the barrier. The cold wind whipped around us, making us feel as if we were in an ice cave...

However, there was no frost on our bodies. I drew the Gale Sword and tried to infuse the Wind Force of the wind. It didn't feel as fierce as fire as before; instead, it felt heavy and powerful all over!

Riven's broken sword is the same; she prefers heavier weapons, and the current Wind Force suits her perfectly. "This is the feeling I've been searching for, it's fantastic!"

"I guess this is a case of turning misfortune into a blessing in disguise!"

With Lili's help, we gained immense power!
