Before anyone could react, Canis, inside the ice crystal coffin, suddenly opened her tightly closed, frost-covered eyes!
Phainon then realized that Canis inside the ice crystal coffin had no pupils, only two wildly spinning, pitch-black spheres, like vortexes in the abyss.
Buzz--!
A black, viscous wave, as black as ink, suddenly spread out from the ice crystal coffin.
Where the ripples swept across, the charred marks left on the ground swelled as if imbued with life.
The crevices in the rocks, the shadows in the air, and even the chill emanating from the ice crystals themselves... all became breeding grounds for filth.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
Twisted, foul-smelling Black Tide creatures, like demons crawling out of a rotting swamp, surged forth from every corner touched by the fluctuations.
Some of them flowed with black blood, while others were aggregates of black mud that constantly dripped corrosive slime.
The piercing shrieks, the sound of bones grinding together, and the gurgling of boiling slime instantly dragged Dawncloud Cliff back into hell.
"Ugh... Canis!"
March 7th's face turned pale, but the ice bow in his hand instantly condensed a chilling aura.
"Is this guy some kind of hidden necromancer? He can even summon Black Tide creations?!"
"No time for this!"
Phainon roared, and the " Dawn's Advance " greatsword swept across, blasting several attacking bloodhounds into ashes with a dazzling arc of amber light.
His gaze pierced through the layers of surging Black Tide, anxiously looking towards the entrance of the Vortex of Genesis.
Xing and Cipher are heading towards the " Vortex of Genesis," and every second of delay could extinguish the hope of " Re-Creation "!
Dan Heng's Cloud-Piercing Spear transformed into a blue phantom, while the Spiritwater became a tough barrier and sharp water blades, constantly cutting and pushing away the surging monsters.
His voice was calm, yet carried an unprecedented urgency. "We must get to the center of the Vortex of Genesis immediately! The Black Tide creations cannot be released!"
We cannot allow these filthy things summoned by Canis to break through Dawncloud Cliff!
Below, in the holy city of Okhema, which had just regained its light, countless terrified citizens were utterly powerless to resist an invasion of this scale.
The thought flashed through the minds of all three at the same time. But with the Black Tide blocking their path ahead and Canis watching them from behind, they were too busy to be in two places at once!
Just then, March 7th abruptly stopped firing.
She looked ahead at the monsters that surged forth from the ice crystals like a black tide, then glanced back at the path leading to the center of the Vortex of Genesis, which was temporarily blocked by the Black Tide.
Finally, March 7th's gaze fell on Phainon and Dan Heng.
The girl's usual carefree and lively spirit vanished instantly, replaced by a crystal-clear resolve.
"Teacher Dan Heng... and Phainon!" March 7th's voice wasn't loud, but it pierced through the monster's roar with exceptional clarity, carrying an undeniable power, "You two, go!"
" March 7th!" Dan Heng's pupils contracted.
"Oh dear~ I told you to hurry up and go."
March 7th abruptly turned around, no longer looking at them, and instead poured all his spirit and will into the ice bow in his hand.
Her petite body erupted with astonishing energy, and icy blue light gathered and swirled wildly around her!
Leave this to me!
On March 7th, he took a deep breath, as if trying to inhale all the cold air from the Dawncloud Cliff into his lungs, and then, with all his might, drew back the bowstring towards the surging Black Tide tide ahead!
"Let me show you a move I taught myself—Stars have ' Eternity Preservation Wings,' and I have ' Remembrance Eternity Wall'!"
With her clear and melodious shout, the ice bow burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling blue light.
A massive, extremely concentrated stream of icy blue cold water erupted from in front of the bowstring.
Rumble--!!!
The cold wave was not an attack; the extreme low temperature instantly froze the air, the energy, and the space itself.
A towering ice wall, several meters thick and tens of meters high, rose up in front of the pass at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The ice wall was crystal clear, with countless tiny six-pointed star ice crystals flowing inside, radiating an indestructible and Eternity chill.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Black Tide creation charging at the forefront slammed into the ice wall, instantly freezing into a rigid ice sculpture, before shattering into ice shards under the impact of the monsters following behind.
More monsters were kept outside the ice wall, emitting angry and futile roars and crashing sounds.
The ice wall temporarily blocked the torrent of the Black Tide tide, temporarily sealing off Canis and her filthy army within the pass.
Standing beneath the towering ice wall, March 7th appeared so small, yet like Titan, a guardian deity of the region.
She gripped the ice bow tightly with both hands, the bowstring once again gathering a cold light, aiming at the tiny cracks on the surface of the ice wall caused by the monster's constant impacts.
call out!
Streams of icy energy shot out precisely, like the most skillful ice craftsman, quickly freezing, mending, and reinforcing the cracks!
Sweat slid down her forehead, instantly freezing into ice beads.
Her small face was somewhat pale from the excessive exertion of her strength, but her eyes shone with an astonishing brightness, filled with determination and fearlessness.
March 7th didn't look back, but with a slightly breathless yet still energetic voice, she shouted towards the road of hope behind her:
"What are you waiting for? Is it interesting to see me cover the rear?"
Then, Dan Heng nodded seriously.
March 7th's face immediately fell. "Never mind... there's no time for gossip now."
She cleared her throat, "Ahem~ When 'Re-Creation ' occurs—"
"Don't forget my contribution!!!"
The sound echoed amidst the rumble of the ice walls and the roars of the monsters, carrying a girl's unique playfulness, yet more fervent than any vow.
On March 7th, the path to ultimate hope, along with the responsibility of protecting the holy city and his companions, was shouldered on his tender shoulders.
She used this ice wall to buy last bit of time for Phainon and Dan Heng, and for all of Okhema.
Phainon glanced deeply at the petite figure who was constantly repairing the cracks in the ice wall and fighting against the surging Black Tide alone. He gritted his teeth, a trace of pain flashing in his eyes, but more so a resolute determination. He suddenly pulled Dan Heng beside him.
"Walk!"
Dan Heng glanced at March 7th one last time, Cloud-Piercing Spear down heavily. The Spiritwater Secret Technique erupted beneath his feet, and the two transformed into two swift shadows, bypassing the towering ice wall and rushing towards the final entrance to the Vortex of Genesis without looking back! The girl's clear shouts and the thunderous roar of the ice wall bearing the impact were firmly left behind on the burning battlefield.
