The Ring That Controls the Snow Woman (1)

A faint fluctuation emanated from his body, making it impossible to accurately determine his specific strength.

However, they certainly wouldn't reach my level. It shouldn't be a problem for Heloise and her six companions to take down this woman.

The plan to plunder the Flame Witch's energy core appears to have failed, but if they can kill the Hero here, although it's not as good as losing their own life, it's still a decent outcome.

Daiaboliq gave a wink to the few remaining fighting Magic Creature around him. These were his trusted confidants who had followed Daiaboliq for many years, and they understood the prince's meaning with just a glance.

The Snow Woman quickly composed herself, her face regaining its coldness and whiteness. She and her companions gradually dispersed, forming a fan shape as they approached Qin Chu and Antia at the entrance.

The mountainside, which had just calmed down a bit, began to undulate again.

However, neither Qin Chu, nor Daiaboliq, nor those Magic Creature, all overlooked the fact that there was another powerful being inside the mountain.

Flame Witch.

In the sky, the ball of flame continued to churn violently, accumulating more and more energy.

Just as the atmosphere on the ground grew increasingly tense and oppressive, and it seemed that conflict was about to break out, a ball of blazing flame suddenly fell from the sky.

That was an impact imbued with all the energy of the already crazed Flame Witch.

Indiscriminate attack.

Rumble...

The moment the scorching flames hit the ground, the earth erupted with an astonishing roar.

This mountain range, which had long been dilapidated and pushed to its limit, could no longer hold on and collapsed with a deafening roar.

The cave behind Qin Chu was instantly blocked by collapsed and crowded boulders. The ground beneath their feet cracked, and a ball of crimson flames surged up, engulfing Qin Chu and Antia.

From the outside, the scene is even more exaggerated, with each mountain peak resembling a volcanic eruption, sending huge pillars of fire shooting into the sky.

Fiery lava, along with collapsing boulders, tumbled down the mountainside.

The billowing black smoke had obscured everything, creating a scene no less apocalyptic than the end of the world.

Inside the mountain, the situation was just as bad.

Within the vast mountain belly, pillars of fire spewed forth everywhere; blazing flames writhed wildly like giant pythons, searching for their prey.

Powerful Magic Creature desperately dodged and weaved within the mountain's belly. If they were not careful, they would be entangled by a giant serpent formed of flames and immediately dragged into Abyss filled with crimson lava.

Even though these Magic Creature were very powerful, they couldn't help but let out terrified roars at this moment.

Suddenly, Daiaboliq heard a terrified scream. He turned around and saw that it was Heloise, the Snow Woman.

A pair of slender, Flame Python legs were already entwined by a huge Flame Python connected to the depths of the earth, possessing astonishing strength. Heloise's body was unable to control her fall downwards, and it looked as if she was about to be swallowed by the flames below. Daiaboliq gritted his teeth, rushed over, and grabbed Heloise's slender arm, trying to rescue Heloise from the Flame Python's entanglement.

As expected of Daiaboliq, his formidable strength was on full display at this moment.

Even though the Flame Python's power was connected to the earth's core, and its strength was as unstoppable as a mountain, Daiaboliq managed to stabilize Heloise's body for a moment.

His face was solemn, and his eyes were wide open.

Seeing Heloise's pained expression, a dark wind blade emerged from his palm, ready to sever the Flame Python.

But at that moment, with a whoosh, another Flame Python suddenly emerged, its huge body slithering freely in mid-air, coiling towards Daiaboliq.

The crimson flames danced in the prince's eyes.

For a moment, his face even looked somewhat distorted.

He didn't know what was down there, and couldn't judge whether his strength was enough to survive in that scorching lava.

Just as the Flame Python was about to coil around Daiaboliq, he suddenly let out a long breath...

A mixture of panic and fear, along with a hint of relief, flashed across the face of the Snow Woman, Heloise.

The next second...

Daiaboliq released Heloise's slender wrist.

The Snow Woman's icy body was engulfed by blazing flames.

The eldest prince's body shot skyward, accompanied by dense winds and black mist, and he punched directly at the pile of boulders above his head.

A punch delivered with all his might!

With a loud crash, the eldest prince smashed a hole through the collapsing boulder, and the remaining Magic Creature that still had fighting power rushed out of the hole one after another.

Floating in the sky, looking down at the completely collapsed mountains, his expression was quite solemn.

"Your Highness, what do we do now?" a Winged Folk Magic Creature asked Daiaboliq.

"Wait!"

Daiaboliq answered quietly.

His face was extremely gloomy.

The image of Heloise being consumed by flames kept flashing through his mind, her beautiful face tinged with sadness and relief.

Daiaboliq looked down at his palm; his fingers were bare.

His rebirth involved the re-formation of a body, while his original body was completely shattered, and the two rings were nowhere to be found.

Those two rings represent the contract between Heloise and Ieta. The Snow Woman Clan and Blood Elf Clan had long ago placed all their bets on him, sending the most beautiful girl in their clans to his side and signing a master-servant contract with him.

As long as those two rings remained, Heloise and Ieta had no way to refuse his orders.

He shook his head vigorously. Heloise was Snow Woman; there was absolutely no way she could survive being engulfed by such raging flames. She was doomed.

It doesn't matter whether I have a ring or not.

The problem is Ieta's ring; without it, he can't freely control the Blood Elf.

However, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Ieta has always been obedient to me, so even without the ring, I should be able to control Ieta without much trouble.

The truly important thing now is the Second-Generation Hero, Qin Chu.

The Hero is very powerful, Daiaboliq cannot be sure whether the Hero is truly dead.

The Snow Woman's body was submerged in lava.

Heloise could feel that she was surrounded by crimson magma.

The burning sensation caused her pain.

She hadn't died yet. Just as she was being swallowed up, a soft light separated her from the surrounding lava, giving her a brief moment to catch her breath.

She used all her Magic Power to create an ice shield to resist the heat waves coming from all around. She wanted to break free from the lava, but she couldn't. The white light dissipated and the scorching lava had already surrounded her. She didn't even have the strength to move an arm.

The intense heat was rapidly draining the Magic Power within her body.

The ice around his body became thinner and thinner.

She had no idea how long her body had sank, as if she were in a trench from which she could never reach the bottom.

Once the Magic Power is depleted, the surrounding lava will surge up, causing excruciating and soul-crushing effects.

Her life, her consciousness, everything she cared about, would end at that time.

The Magic Power is dwindling.

The feeling of waiting for death is not pleasant.

Every minute and every second is an ordeal that can break a person's will.

She would rather die sooner, at least she wouldn't have to suffer the torment of waiting to die.

Finally... the ice shield around me has become extremely thin.

Unable to withstand the impact of the lava any longer, it shattered with a crack.

Heloise kept her eyes tightly shut, waiting for that moment of pain... But the pain did not come. It was as if her body had finally passed through that incredibly thick, viscous layer of magma, and her body suddenly began to fall freely downwards.

Not long afterward.

Smack!

Heloise crashed heavily onto something hard.

My little bottom hurt so much from the fall.

She wanted to adjust her posture, but she simply didn't have the strength.

Struggling to get up from the ground, he grimaced and groaned.

She looked up, puzzled, and discovered that the lava was still flowing overhead, like a long, bright red river, but an invisible barrier prevented it from penetrating below.

Although I don't understand exactly what's going on, it seems like I don't have to die for the time being?

The Snow Woman gently patted her full chest with her small hand and let out a long sigh of relief.

Immediately, the image of Daiaboliq scolding her and loosening her wrist involuntarily surfaced in her mind again. Her eyes stung, and two crystal-clear tears rolled down her fair cheeks.

She was ultimately abandoned.

Chapter 236 The Ring That Controls the Snow Woman (1)

Heloise sobbed softly.

Watching the flames engulfing the prince, Heloise hoped he could let go of himself; her death didn't matter, as long as His Highness the Crown Prince could live.

That's exactly what I'm thinking, but right now I can't help feeling a pang of sadness.

However, it seems that Heloise cannot be entirely blamed for this.

After all, when he abandoned Heloise, Daiaboliq was so decisive. Seeing the Flame Python rising from the ground, despite his great strength, he didn't even think to intercept or resist it. He simply let go of Heloise and abandoned her, letting his childhood sweetheart be swallowed by the crimson lava.

If Daiaboliq had hesitated even slightly or shown even a hint of pain, Heloise might not have felt so bad, and the feeling of being abandoned and discarded wouldn't have been so intense.

Perhaps, this is what women are like.

Heloise sniffed hard, her delicate nose twitching, her gleaming white teeth lightly biting her lip. She prepared to survey her surroundings, hoping to find a way to escape.

She was only temporarily alive, but for Heloise, it was merely a postponement of her death. The scorching magma above her head was blocked by an invisible barrier, but some heat could still penetrate. The entire space was like a giant furnace, and the extremely hot environment was nothing short of a slow poison for the Snow Woman.

Just then, a flippant voice suddenly came from behind.

"Looks like you've been abandoned by your companions. How pitiful."

Heloise's fair face instantly changed, and she stood up abruptly, her little head pointing in the direction from which the sound came.

Her body tensed, instinctively preparing for battle, trying to mobilize her Magic Power. However, in order to resist the scorching magma, her Magic Power was almost exhausted. At this moment, she suddenly stood up, her vision went black, and she almost fell over.

In the direction from which the sound came, illuminated by the crimson lava overhead, a face appeared before Heloise.

When Heloise recognized that face, her heart sank. This was probably the worst encounter she could have ever had.

The person who appeared before the Snow Woman was none other than the Hero who had been holding her earlier, Qin Chu.

On one side are powerful Hero, and on the other are Magic Creature with depleted Magic Power... It's almost impossible to imagine what would happen if they met in such a place.

Moreover, judging from Qin Chu's relaxed appearance, it seemed that he had not suffered much damage when he was swallowed by the lava, and one could even feel the fluctuations of Magic Power on his body.

Heloise's icy blue eyes darted around furtively, as if looking for a chance to escape, but sadly, there was none.

With his Magic Power depleted and his physical strength exhausted, he had no chance to escape from the Hero.

Heloise stared warily at Qin Chu, wondering what this despicable Hero would do. She didn't have a good impression of Hero... It was because of this Hero that she had been reprimanded by Prince Daiaboliq.

Moreover, although I accidentally fell into his arms... thinking back on it now, his hands didn't seem to be very well-behaved either.

Now we're all trapped in this kind of place...

The Snow Woman was frightened; her already pale face turned completely bloodless, and her body seemed to be trembling slightly.

Many terrible images flashed through her little mind.

It is said that among Magic Creature, Succubus and Snow Woman are very popular among the upper echelons of human power. Those bloated fat pigs treat Succubus and Snow Woman as pets and slaves... Because of their extremely high prices, even powerful human warriors risk great danger to infiltrate Magic Creature territories to capture young Succubus and Snow Woman.

Could I be treated the same way by this Hero?

I heard it's going to be terrible.

If that's the case, it's better to just melt directly in the magma.
