Chapter 690 Glacial Ember Encasement

Chapter 690 Glacial Ember Encasement

Since Gibun possessed spirit sight as well, he could see it.

Right under Heina's neck was a sword of crimson gold ice, surrounded by azure blue flames. If the woman moved her magic power even a single inch, then her head would fly.

The Lieutenant General wanted to shout at her again, but the person who wielded that sword materialised their physical body at that moment and he understood the reason why Heina had refused to move.

He and his men quickly drew their own swords, but the man's attention was divided between this unknown spirit and the soldiers who were scrambling to cross.

He wondered why they hadn't just kicked off the ground and dashed forward with their superhuman speeds but after glancing in the river's direction again, he realised that the ankle-deep water on the ground had frozen into ice.

To be able to restrain the feet of thousands of master-level existences, then the power behind this feeble-looking ice was definitely extraordinary. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

"Let go of her!"

"Stop, Gibun! You can't win!"

As a spirit herself, Heina could accurately sense just how strong the person holding a sword to her neck was, and even more so, they were of a Higher Rank in the spirit hierarchy than she was.

Although she wanted to help the soldiers, she had no choice but to stay put as she valued her own life as well.

Thus, she watched as the foot soldiers and some of the cavalry were swallowed up by the onrushing water in an instant.

As the height of the river rapidly went from ankle deep to chest high, the force of the water started to sweep away man and horse alike.

The sheer power behind it made both defensive magic and skills useless, and even the flying mages were shot down by 'something' and fell into the water as well.

The warhorses' distressed cries echoed in all directions, joined by the screams of their human riders.

Soldiers abandoned their warhorses and tried to swim, but the magically enhanced current was too strong for them to resist.

"Eeeeek!"

"What's happening?!"

"Wahhhhh!"

They were Master levels so they would not die so easily, but this was never intended to kill them in the first place. The one who concocted the plan to dam the water upstream and then let it come rushing down when they were crossing over knew this could not kill the Master levels.

What came after, however, could very much end their lives if he so willed it.

**WHOOSHH!!

There was a sudden gust of icy wind and the surrounding temperature dropped below 0 degrees Celsius in an instant.

Naturally, this meant that the onrushing water and all the soldiers and Mercenaries who were caught within the currents were frozen solid in that same instant.

"Harbinger of Ice + Mesarthim + Frozen Inferno."

He simultaneously activated three skills, synergizing both flames and ice with the skill he gained from consuming Faldo's Heart.

He did not use BoD since he didn't want to kill the soldiers, but even without it, the current Evan was still ridiculously strong.

Clapping his hands together, he activated a technique that he had created based on the Ice Nova spell, with the sole desire to trap his enemies.

"Glacial Ember Encasement."

The name was a mouthful and so was the effect.

Chilling winds swirled around him, alongside the scorching prismatic flames in perfect harmony.

The air around the soldiers crackled with magic power as they were hit by a bright flash of disorienting light. Icy tendrils shot forth, encasing hundreds of soldiers in layers of shimmering frost.

Evan targeted the Master Level existences first as they were the ones he'd have a harder time restraining due to their higher resistances.

Of course, this was only harder when compared to those below the Master level. In the end, for Evan whose power was in the Limbo between Grandmaster and Epic, they were weak all the same.

The soldiers found themselves trapped in crystalline prisons; their bodies held fast by the unyielding grip of the ice.

But even as the frost wrapped around them, a comforting warmth washed over the soldiers, emanating from the flickering flames that danced within the icy confines.

Despite the freezing temperatures, they remained shielded from the biting cold, their bodies kept at a comfortable temperature by the blazing inferno that raged beneath the surface of the ice.

In mere moments, over a thousand soldiers found themselves frozen in place, their heads protruding from the icy cocoons like moles ready to be whacked.

Attempts to use skills or magic to break out all failed as the ice was just so ridiculously hard.

Once he was done with the first thousand, he teleported to a different area and reactivated the technique, freezing another thousand.

The soldiers tried to attack Evan but the boy simply teleported away and activated his technique, freezing them into ice.

It formed a beautiful sight when looked at from above; like giant icy flowers with prismatic flames flickering and infusing the ice with mesmerizing glows.

Of course, this only looked beautiful if you ignored the thousands of heads sticking out of it.

"Damn, my biology, physics, and chemistry teachers would go crazy if they saw this. Magic is like a big middle finger in the face of Earth V's science."

Evan remarked as he took a deep breath and inhaled the icy winds.

As a result of the synergistic fusion between ice and fire via Frozen Inferno, the Glacial Ember Encasement technique not only immobilized the enemy forces but also ensured their survival amidst the freezing temperatures.

It was a devastating display of elemental mastery, leaving the Wolfen soldiers both frozen in awe and in ice.
