Chapter 880: Rapid Freeze

Chapter 880: Rapid Freeze

Upon hearing Chriss words, Gorda, Jike, Xuelu, and Suofa all had peculiar expressions on their faces. They couldnt help glancing at Robb, who shrugged. He had admitted being Godfather, but if others didnt believe it, there was nothing more to be done. Lets not dwell on this matter.

Lets go, the Demon Kings Castle is right in front of us,

Everyone refocused on the main point and returned to the immediate issue at hand.

Passing through the spacious cavern, the Demon Kings Castle grew closer with each step. Chris and his group became increasingly cautious.

By the side of the moat formed by molten lava, the river was quite wide, at least a hundred yards across.

Chris and Gorda exchanged a look and realized that their Heroic Leap probably wouldnt make it across. The acrobatics of the hunter were even less viable, not to mention the magicians Blink, which had a disappointingly limited range and couldnt span such a wide expanse of lava.

The group cast a glance towards the Demon Kings Castle on the other side of the river. Chris murmured, This is bad. The castle is surrounded by molten lava. It seems we can only enter through the drawbridge of the castle gate. However, the location of the castle gate is bound to be guarded by monsters. It might be quite challenging to slip in unnoticed.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

Xuelu suggested, We could fight our way in!

Chris and his team all shook their heads in unison. Miss Xuelu, thats not possible! Despite your excellent equipment, its impossible to forcefully break through a large group of demons.

Xuelu insisted, Its possible! Its possible!

Robb lightly poked her from behind. You promised not to intervene and let me handle things. Following you, I wonder if you can get in without my help?

Xuelu:

Well, Xuelu had no choice but to hold back her suggestions.

Chris gazed at the lava moat, lost in thought. How can we get across?

Both teams began racking their brains for ideas.

In fact, for Robb, this was quite simple. He could use Flight Magic and easily fly over. However, this adventure primarily belonged to Xuelu, so it was better to let her figure it out on her own.

He watched Xuelu closely, observing how she dealt with challenges. After a while, Xuelu suddenly slapped her forehead. Robb thought she had come up with a solution, but to his surprise, she immediately looked clueless and turned to him, saying, Help me figure out how to cross the river.

The others:

This revelation was truly astonishing. It must have taken a formidable ice-based magic to freeze a section of the lava river. From the stability of the volcanic rock, it was evident that it had frozen quite deeply. It appeared to be just a few dozen centimeters in diameter, enough for footing, but it was definitely cylindrical in shape, extending all the way to the riverbed.

Robb took another step, freezing a new piece of volcanic rock about the same size as the last. Then he alternated between his feet, creating stepping stones of frozen ground, one after the other. He walked across the lava river step by step, all the way to the wall beneath the castle on the other side.

Chris and his group:

Gorda and his team shrugged and spread their hands in a gesture that said, We knew this would happen.

Robb turned back to them and said, Hurry and follow me. The stepping stones Ive created will soon melt from the lavas heat. If you move too slowly, the stepping stones will melt, and you might fall into the lava river

This statement startled everyone, and they quickly followed the stepping stones Robb had created, crossing the river one by one. In no time, the other nine individuals had made their way across the river.

Looking back, it hadnt been long since they had crossed when the stepping stones had already melted, warped, and sunk into the surrounding molten lava.

Chris looked at Robb seriously and asked, What level of ice magic was that just now?

Robb replied, Rapid Freeze, a pretty basic spell. Isnt it normal for a priest to know some ice magic? Havent you heard of Frost Priests? Actually, my ice magic isnt very powerful. Its just that my ring is quite good, so it enhances the spells effects. Look, look.

He took off a blue gemstone ring from his finger and waved it in front of Chris, saying, This ring enhances ice magic effects. Do you want it? Ill give it to you!

Chris wiped his sweat and declined, No, thanks. I dont know ice magic.

Robb then offered the ring to the female fire magician, saying, How about you?

The fire magician replied, I dont know ice magic either.

Well, too bad then, Robb said, Its a pity that such a good ring wont be of use to you. I guess Ill just have to use it myself.

He put the ring back on his finger.

Chris and his group now realized that this guy was no ordinary character; who knew what other surprises he might have in store.
