Chapter 507 Against The First Division Squad II



'Ice Magic: Ice Nova.'

A three-ringed magic circle appeared under his feet and the magic activated without delay, releasing waves of frost that caused the surrounding temperature to plummet instantly.

As the Harbinger of Ice, Evan could now easily cast Tier 3 Ice magic by just calling out the spell's name and constructing the circle, without the need for the lengthy chant.

It only took a moment for everything within a kilometre radius of Evan to be encased within layer upon layer of crimson red ice, including a few unfortunate demons and superior stage master-level demonic hand members.

The Fake heroes and grandmasters who had sharper senses were all able to dodge the spell with their superior agility.

Even so, Evan didn't really mind as he expected that much from the Demonic Hand's first Division grandmaster-level members.

He gave the command and cracks spread out across the jagged icicles, shattering them into dozens of tiny shards of ice that melted almost instantly.

Naturally, the bodies of those frozen in the ice had shattered along with it.

While all this was happening; the young hero was still pushing back the sword of the female grandmaster who was internally exclaiming in shock at the sheer difference in strength between her and Evan.

She was using the full force of her A+ strength stat and yet Evan was still able to hold her sword back with his hand, and what's more, she could tell he wasn't being serious with her.

"ARGHH!!"

She released a loud scream of anguish as the essence of destruction permeating into her body was causing her intolerable pain, before using demonic energy to strengthen her body and wrestle her sword from Evan's grip.

Without hesitation, she flipped the blade and charged it up with a skill, stabbing it through the layer of ice on the ground and releasing that energy into the earth.

*BAM! **KABOOOMMM!!!!!

A huge mushroom cloud of smoke and black flames rose up into the sky, with shockwaves that blasted apart trees that were dozens of kilometres away.

Red hot flames that burned through everything swept across the area, turning the solid earth into molten rock in mere seconds.

In the middle of this sea of molten rock, was the heavily breathing demonic hand member who was clutching her shoulder with a pained expression on her face.

'The report said he was good with flames! So how heck is he casting Third tier ice magic without a word?!'

"I see, so this is what 'Fire Magic: Wave of Flames' can do when used like that, huh?"

"?!!"

The woman's eyes widened in shock when she heard the carefree voice of the young hero, looking up to see the unscathed Evan unravel his Elemental Shield and turn to her calmly.

The attack just now had everyone in the area retreating instantly to prevent themselves from being caught up in it.

But as Evan had protected himself with his shield and was only pushed back a few metres, she was currently in close proximity with the young hero that forced her to use that attack.

As for reinforcements? It would take at least 10 seconds before she could hope for anything of the sort, plenty of time for Evan who she, from her earlier clash with him, could tell he could move at sonic speeds.

He calmly turned his gaze towards her, taking a step forward and momentarily drawing her attention to his feet as she was confused at how he was still 'standing' on the sea of molten rock that had a temperature of over 500 degrees Celsius.

Even she who released the attack was not completely immune to the searing temperature.

A quick glance at his feet showed that Evan was not standing on the molten ground but on a flat energy platform; a void step.

His body, on the other hand, was encased in a thin layer of frost energy that protected him from the temperature.

Evan exhaled a cold breath as he moved forward, coating his palm in energy and delivering a swift palm strike to the woman's chest faster than she could raise her sword.

The palm strike knocked her back by a few metres but before she could fall into the sea of molten earth, a grandmaster-level demon swooped in and caught her body before flying up into the air.

The demon waved their hand and the sky was covered in arrays of dark energy projectiles, all of which launched against Evan in the next instant.

However, much to their surprise, Evan only gazed at the two in the air and then disappeared, causing the projectiles to strike the place he was just in a mere second ago.

Explosions rang out as the dark energy and the flame energy permeating through the molten earth ignited upon contact, but the demonic duo paid it no mind and turned their gazes to find Evan.

"Teleportation magic?!"

"Wrong."

"BEHIND YOU!!!"I think you should take a look at

The warning of one of the Fake Heroes rang out but it was too late as Evan had already moved, his sword swishing through the air so fast it looked like a blur, severing the wings of the demon who used the dark magic.

He then coated his hand in frost energy and delivered a palm strike towards the demon, sending them flying towards the ground.

'Energy bla-'

***BOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!

Just when he wanted to activate his skill against the incoming assailants, a beam of concentrated green magic power shot from the ground and into the air, blasting two of the airborne enemies; instantly killing the demon of them while sending the Fake hero flying into the distance.

"Evan! Stop playing around!"

Eliza's chiding voice rang out, followed by two rings of light that appeared around each of his wrists and ankles.

Seeing this, Evan smiled wryly before turning to the other demons and the remaining Fake hero who were gazing at him warily from a safe distance and spoke.

"You heard her, right? I'm gonna have to stop playing."

Their expressions contorted upon hearing his words and before they could say anything, he looked at the duo that he had hit with palm strikes and sent tumbling to the ground before saying.

"You two are first on the death list."

Snapping his fingers, the cold energy he injected into their bodies with the palm strikes resonated with his skill.

Their eyes widened in shock as they felt the cold coming from their chests and realised it was consuming their own energy reserves, but that realisation was pointless as there was nothing they could do about it.

Right before the eyes of all those present, their bodies were encased in layers of thick ice that exploded right afterwards, propelling large shards of ice in all directions.

"Now then..."

The air around them crackled with charged energy and the ambient energies thrummed wildly as an overwhelming weight of power descended upon the area.

Looking at the opponents surrounding him, Evan readied his ice sword and spoke calmly.

"…you lot are next."

◇ ◇ ◇

"Seriously, that boy."

Eliza's exasperated voice rang out, but even so, there was a slight smile on her face as she looked at the streaks of light shooting through the air at sonic speeds, colliding occasionally and releasing multiple large explosions in the air, with powerful shockwaves that reached her where she stood.

As she was doing this, a grandmaster-level Senior Member and the fourth of the Fake heroes charged at her with their weapons, a Warhammer and a spear coated in demonic energy.

'Divergent Ward.'

The girl activated her skill, summoning two sets of ten square-shaped barriers, each one about a metre in length and using them to block the Warhammer swing and spear thrust respectively.

**BOOOMM!!!

The force of the collision of the weapons with the barrier released a massive explosion of energy that blasted apart the surrounding forest, rupturing the ground underneath and creating massive earthquakes.

"Cutting Wave."

Eliza's voice rang out amidst the sound of the explosion, preceding a massive wave of projected life energy, carrying all manners of debuffs on it as it tore through the air on its way to the Senior Member.

However, the target sensed the threat and erected multiple earthen walls to block the incoming projectile.

The direction the attack came from was different from where Eliza was supposed to be but he didn't bother to rationalize it, smashing his Warhammer into the ground and causing six stone spears to sprout from the ground around him.

The Fake hero on the other hand shot forward in the same direction the attack came from, releasing a slash with the intent to pulverize everything in front of them.

However, the spear collided with a large chunk of jagged life ice mid-slash, exploding and sending tiny icicles flying in all directions.

"GAHHHH!!!!!"

The scream of one of the demonic hand members had him turning his attention elsewhere, but he quickly turned back when a spear pierced through the smoke and straight towards his head.
