"Sigh... Let's not talk about these sad things, let's talk about something serious."
"Boss, our next task is to figure out a way to create a barrier, so that even if we're discovered, you'll be fine."
Aidan listened to the voice in her mind.
Fulan curled his lip, seemingly speechless at Hela's task.
"Seriously, even if we're discovered, we might not necessarily die, but it's really awful to feel like we're being used as tools."
"You're one to talk, but you're no different..." Aidan glanced at Fulan.
Fulan shrugged.
"They seem to be fighting pretty fiercely. I wonder if they'll break this shield."
Fulan looked up; the people on the shield had already started fighting.
Aidan also raised his head, watching the battle between the gods above.
Above the shield.
[Winter] gazed silently at the people before her, her eyes still devoid of any other emotion.
"I remember you. You were the ones who killed [Summer] and his group last time."
Her words were extremely cold, so cold that they seemed to actually feel the chill.
Brown stood at the very front of everyone, tilted his head slightly back, and chuckled.
"Yeah, that was the most exciting battle our [Godslaying] Squad has ever fought since its inception."
But now, it seems like we can have another match.
He clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, and then stomped forward, shattering the ice beneath his feet.
With his fists positioned one in front of the other, he surprisingly adopted a stance reminiscent of traditional martial arts.
"Madness..."
[Winter] His eyes narrowed, and the moisture in the surrounding air began to condense rapidly, creating several spears made of ice in the air.
But the next moment!
Brown suddenly disappeared from his sight, followed by a whip kick that sent a violent gust of wind rushing towards him.
boom!
A burst of white mist erupted, and [Winter]'s figure was suddenly sent flying backward, while Brown had been standing in her original position, was now standing there, his right leg radiating cold air.
Brown glanced at the layer of ice on his right leg and frowned slightly.
They clearly felt that just as their feet were about to kick each other in the face, a very hard layer of ice appeared on [Winter] face, blocking his attack.
His kick looked fierce, but it didn't actually cause much damage to the opponent.
[Winter] Both feet land on the ground, glide on the smooth ice for a moment, and come to a steady stop.
A layer of blue ice dissipated from his left cheek, turning into snowflakes that floated in the air.
Without moving, sharp ice spears condensed in the air and pierced through the air, aiming at everyone in front of her.
" Jixue!"
"Waaaaah--!"
As Yixue called out, a layer of mist rapidly rose amidst the howling of wolves, enveloping everyone.
The ice spear pierced the fog and then embedded itself in the ice, without hitting anyone.
The smog continued to spread, soon enveloping the entire area including [Winter].
[Winter]' s expression remained unchanged as he reached out and blew a piece of ice crystal from his palm.
"Don't forget, smog is formed from water condensation."
"Simply put, they are countless tiny ice blocks. Even if I can't control them, they can't possibly block my senses."
She threw the ice crystal in her hand in one direction with a backhand motion.
The ice crystal pierced through the smog and aimed precisely at Brown.
"I've chosen you, Xiunuosi! Now sleep soundly!"
He grabbed the Xiunuosi he was carrying and held it in front of him. Xiunuosi nodded weakly and then closed his eyes.
Just as the ice crystal was about to pierce the opponent.
A black hand covered in eyes suddenly emerged from Xiunuosi's abdomen, blocking the ice crystals.
The hard ice crystals shattered the moment they touched the hand.
"Remember, the enemy is her! And don't damage the ground!"
Brown released his grip, shouted a few words at Xiunuosi, and then quickly left.
Layers of black mist spread from the outstretched hand of Xiunuosi, enveloping his entire Xiunuosi.
The black mist burned away his upper clothes like flames, revealing his beast-like abdominal and pectoral muscles.
One after another, eerie eyes opened from his body, which was shrouded in darkness, and covered his entire body.
A large eye opened where his mouth had been, curving into a mocking smile.
"This is..."
A hint of seriousness appeared in [Winter] eyes, and she gently raised her white hand.
Ice spikes rose from the ground, piercing towards Xiunuosi.
A pale pink shield rose around Xiunuosi's body, keeping all the ice spikes out.
Hehehe--!
Xiunuosi's eyes locked onto [Winter] in front of him, his body slightly lowered, and he rushed forward in one stride.
[Winter] wanted to dodge, but it felt as if it was locked in place by something.
She gently raised her left hand, and an iron chain connected to the ground appeared on her wrist without her noticing.
"Hehehe! Now you know how powerful my magic is!"
Meng Yuan flew in the air beside him and laughed loudly at [Winter].
But [Winter] showed no panic whatsoever. Facing the approaching Xiunuosi, he glided past him with ease.
"Why?!"
Meng Yuan's eyes widened, and even Meng Yuan next to her looked up.
Clearly unwilling to accept defeat after missing his first attack, Xiunuosi brandished his claws and lunged at his opponent once more.
But each move was easily dodged by the opponent; [Winter] was like an elegant dancer, strolling on the ice.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
"Elegant, so elegant! I never imagined there could be such an elegant Variant."
Brown clapped and nodded in approval of [Winter].
"Which side are you on, Captain? Hurry up and help!"
Meng Yuan shouted, and a fireball appeared in the magic wand in her hand.
"Watch me crush you with fire magic!"
She launched the fireball, which shattered in mid-air into countless more fireballs that hurtled towards her opponent.
Countless sword energies also emerged from the mist, attacking [Winter] alongside fireballs.
[Winter] Slightly raising her eyes, a thick wall of ice enveloped her like a silkworm cocoon.
Fireballs and sword energy slammed into it.
The scorching temperature evaporated the ice, sending up a large amount of white steam.
Amidst the white mist, [Winter] stood gracefully inside, the iron chains in her hands already shattered from the cold.
The moment his jade-like hand was raised, the Xiunuosi figure of Shunos appeared before him.
The claws, covered in eyeballs, slammed down without any rhyme or reason.
[Winter] Raises her hand in front of her and gently pushes.
Ice spikes, like a surging wave, rose from the ground in front of him and pierced towards his opponent.
The ice spike pierced towards Xiunuosi, but was still blocked by the shield surrounding him.
However, even though no damage was caused, Xiunuosi was still stuck by these ice spikes.
[Winter] raised his hand again, and the shield protecting Xiunuosi began to freeze, until finally he was completely encased in ice.
She snorted coldly and casually waved her hand to her side.
Countless icicles, like a bucket of water she had poured out, pierced towards the people beside her.
The mist surrounding them swirled and shifted, slowing the speed at which the ice spikes streaked through the air, allowing them to easily dodge.
"Aha! I get it, I get it! I roughly understand your fighting style and tactics now!"
Brown grinned sheepishly, raising his hand like a schoolboy wanting praise.
The next moment, his gaze towards [Winter] sharpened.
"Now, you can leave..."
