Chapter 27: Ice Ice Zombie

Chapter 27: Ice Ice Zombie

There were decimated corpses lying all across the city. Blood closed the streets through a river and people could be seen in panic.

Parents were crying for their dead children while many children were crying for their dead parents. Entire families were ripped apart and crushed within buildings.

A young elf lay amid a red pool. His hands and legs were missing and his skin was burnt black.

Beside him was a silver-haired boy whose hair was falling in his eyes, so he constantly tried to shove it.

His hands were glowing with a mystical emerald light.

Rael's spiritual energy started to circulate in the elf's body helping the elf to get relief.

*Cough*

The elf started to cough some blood and looked at the boy in front of him. Although he couldn't see him properly and his face was blurred he managed to utter a single word before passing out.

"F..uck....humans...."

"Don't speak I am still healing you!" Rael said as he attentively was listening to what he said. By what the elf said he couldn't help but frown.

"Humans did this?"

He looked at the ruined landscape filled with blood before shaking his head.

" A waste."

'Perhaps it is only human nature to inflict suffering on anything that will endure suffering, whether because of its genuine humility, or indifference, or sheer helplessness..maybe.. .all that is just a delusion of mine.'

Rael felt like puking....although he always thought that humans were the lesser beings, he was no different from them...the world preyed upon the weak and if a weakling became strong then the world would kill it so that he wouldn't become a threat.

A look of relief came upon the elf's face as his face changed from pale to its normal cream color.

Leaving the elf aside in a place where nobody could hurt him, he decided to leave and look for Derek.

He couldn't help but get shudders whenever he thought that this was related to the deal the devils and the humans were talking about.

'-but just why would the humans of the Holy Theocracy attack here?'

As he was pondering over the question, he realized something he should have noticed long ago!

'All the influentials from all over the world come to the Regent Auction and Banquet.....so wouldn't this be the best time to kill them all?'

It all fit perfectly and just like a psycho, Rael had creepily started to laugh. When was the last time he laughed like this he wondered?..... Oh, wait it was recently, so yeah, awkward moment.

He noticed that he couldn't see any humans nearby except the ones who were lying around crying about the deaths of their loved ones.

Walking further and further, the entire area was deserted for a second it could have looked like a ghost town if it wasn't for the zombies coming his way.

He cussed as he saw the massive horde of disgusting blackish-green creatures whose skin was constantly melting and regenerating.

"I didn't think that those humans would be so impatient.....I wonder where Derek is and my slime....."

Looking at the creatures coming toward him, Rael started to form multiple large-scale mana spells.

Because his mana capacity had increased, he could easily do large-scale attacks although it did cost a lot of mana.

"Looks like you people will be the first test for me to try my new deviant element attack!" He smiled evilly as he looked at the pitiful mindless zombies.

As water and wind were his strongest elements with an affinity for, Rael had already thought of a deviant element.

A deviant element, which uses devastating attacks, combined with the randomness of weather and its freezing abilitiesto create a deadly skill.

An element that could pierce through all his opponents with ease and also defend him through all the attacks.

A perfect element, free from all the restrictions.

Instantly the temperature dropped by a few degrees. The air around Rael coiled and started to float above until it went higher than the night clouds, till it couldn't be seen in sight.

The zombies who were waiting for the attack looked at Rael dumbfoundedly,

"..."

...and started to screech as if mocking him.

An imaginary cross symbol came on his forehead as he looked at the zombies with killing intent while giving out an innocent smile.

Though the zombies were mindless and dumb, when they saw that smile.....they could only fear for him along with the killing intent emanating from him.

Seeing their expression Rael smirked, and he lifted his hand pointing towards the sky.

Everyone turned their head up, to look at what he was pointing at.

A half-a-foot-long icicle suddenly appeared in front of them out of thin air, it appeared in midair out of nowhere.

Even though those mindless zombies had extremely good senses, they still did not manage to see how it appeared and when it appeared, they merely just saw a seemingly normal icicle that had a frightening coldness that made their whole body shiver.

Before they could take a good look at it, the deep blue icicle attacked broke into numeral other icicles and attacked them all separately right through their brain, pinpoint, at unimaginable speed!

*Bang!!*

*Bang!!*

*Bang!!!!*

**BANG!**

The zombies screamed with pain! The deep blue icicle was stuck through and through. It was a headshot! Such scary accuracy. Only Rael could do something like that with minimal use of mana and control. Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

A unique flowery scent spread in the area, suffocating them.

The tree roots entered their body through the nose holes and destroyed the brain from the inside out while exploding.

Suddenly, the zombies burned into ashes! It was just too fast! With the tree roots, leaves burning the fire was even greater.

Being a mage naturally, he had a mage's domain, which a person could only get after tremendous practice.

There are many stages in Domain itself. The domain used by Shi was the initial domain used by amateurs, but even a simple initial domain makes its user very overpowered.

He walked past where the zombies died...and cussed a bit. He deduced it by seeing the flames of the heavenly and universal law.

"Tch! These humans made a deal with devils...I couldn't even turn these zombies into trees because their souls were claimed by the universal law, so they had unlimited power but also many side effects!"

Usually, when he uses his domain, his prey who dies in it turns into a tree.

As he was thinking about the various stuff between the humans and devils....he got a very amazing idea.

'Wait.....a second! If I help out and gather as much information as possible and help out...then couldn't I get an instant promotion?! The cross-realm department is in charge of keeping peace and these humans are clearly disturbing peace.....so if I abandon my mission and focus on this...then my superiors will praise and promote me!"

"Like it's said....aim higher get lower! If I meet that demon, I might do a light investigation as a reward for saving me.....but I will still test his strength..."

He hummed a tune and leisurely started to walk away, he could already feel intense mana coming from the center of the city and assumed that the silver-haired demon would also be heading there.

He saw many zombies and just turned them all into dust along his way. Old humans, office workers, children...nobody escaped his grasp.

All of them were simply cannon fodders.

After walking for a while, he finally came across the silver-haired boy. He crept into a corner and started to observe him.

The temperature instantly dropped while he was observing him, the environment went cold, and huge killing intent was spreading into the atmosphere.

"H..how does this kid have such high killing intent?! How many has he killed before???"

A shiver went upon his spine as he looked at the young silver-haired boy smiling innocently, his smile was too evil to call it an angel and too tranquil to call it a demon.

"J...j..just what is he?!?!!"

The boy then pointed his hands towards the sky, subconsciously, Shi also gazed to look at the sky...and what he saw utterly shocked him.

A half-foot icicle formed out of nowhere! This kind of utilization and control of mana was abnormal!

He had never seen anyone forming ice from the sky which wasn't connected with the body!

Usually, ice-based attacks all form from near the user's body....but this kid had broken the rule...

"W.. won't he be invincible?! This way!!"

The icicle broke into smaller fragmented shards, and each of them struck the brain core of the zombies individually killing all of them!

A bitter smile came upon Shi's face, excitement boiled under his skin as he stared at Rael.

'Silver hair....hmm...I have never heard about a demon with silver hair... wait... isn't that prodigious newbie Alizejh also having silver hair? Didn't she have a twin? But I was told that the twin was a talentless scumbag...'

He suddenly got startled as he heard Rael's voice.

"You should come out... aren't you tired of watching me from behind?"

His voice was calm and full of nonchalance, he looked at him baffled, at how he could sense him so easily.

He stood up from behind rubble and walked towards him with his hands in a surrendering gesture.

"I am surprised you found me."

"Of course, even a kid could find you..."

He once again heard his voice which was calm with a small tinge of contempt and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"So I see that you are fully healed.."

Rael frowned a bit as he inspected further.

"-and...your life force feels stronger..."

Shin smirked, enjoying his reaction.

"You were quite good back there with that ice attack of yours...."

Seeing, Rael not replying, an imaginary cross came on the back of his head.

He opened one of his eyes, to look at Rael, and when he saw him ignoring him more he felt even angrier.

'This kid...'

Sweat formed on Rael's forehead but looking at Shi spouting words full of air... he really wanted to laugh. Even Rael didn't praise himself so much in front of people though he praised himself in his mind.

"Hey! Are you listening?!" Shi flustered and asked in a hesitating tone.

"Yeah...you were saying about how amazing you were..."

"...."

"You bastard! You didn't listen to a single thing!"

Rael just snorted, he did not like to listen to other people talking about themselves. At this moment he dearly missed his royal council who flattered him at every second.

"You want to practice spar with me?" Shi asked in a suggestive tone.
