Reincarnated Hero System

Chapter 185 Ice Nova

'Kayla, tell the others to take distance.

A lot of distance.'

He transmitted his thoughts to his contract spirit through their connection as he wildly circulated his internal energy, with his blessing of destruction synergizing with the destructive energy circuit within his body.

The rift mages, on the other hand, sensed the building-up energy and began to cast another combination magic spell, intending on destroying both his shield and him instantly.

They cried out in strange voices as their energies began weaving together to create a complex spell formation that would make the battle mages of some small countries cry out in shock.

At the same time, Evan took a deep breath and began chanting in a low voice.

"Let a chilling breeze blow across this,

? Into a deep freeze, it shall be sent.

When my mind is at rest,

And this spell is through,

Then my target shall be frozen"

As soon as he completed his chant, a gigantic magic circle spread out across the floor, spreading to the edges of the large ballroom that was even larger than the monster room they were in a week ago.

Considering that the monster room was nearly the size of a football pitch, one could imagine how large this ballroom-like area was and how wide the magic circle spread out.

From the centre to the circumference, were the elemental mark representing the element of the spell, the magic letters describing the type of magic being invoked and the rings that completed the circle, showing the flow of magic.

Unlike most of the magic circles that Evan usually created that had two rings, this time, the magic circle was a three-ringed one, with the third ring being illusory in nature, flickering in and out of existence.

Seeing this, the rift mages naturally sensed the danger the third ring represented and stopped their attempts to break his shield, deciding to teleport out but it was already too late.

The activation speed and power of a Tier 3 Magic spell was not something that the rift mages were fast enough to cancel their complex spell formation and teleport out of.

Evan opened his eyes and called out in a cold voice.

"Ice Magic: Ice Nova."

The spell didn't even wait for his words to finish, releasing a blinding flash of light that disoriented the senses of all the monsters within the spell's range, keeping them in place long enough for the spell to unleash its full might as waves of ice surged forward omnidirectionally in that same instant.

By the time the light died down, the room and its inhabitants were encased in layer upon layer of ice.

Everywhere within the spell's range, which was pretty much the entirety of the ballroom-like area was covered in spectacular spiky and jagged ice formations fifty feet in height.

The monsters that were in the room, be they orcs, goblins, wolves or even blade wraiths, along with their rift mage summoners, fire, water or lightning types, were all frozen solid.

With so much Ice everywhere, it was only natural that the room's temperature plummeted to somewhere within the range of 1 and 5 degrees Celsius and was reducing in real-time.

The only place without Ice in the entire room was the spot where Evan stood as he surveyed the results of the spell before heaving an exhausted sigh.

He released the magic and cracks began to spread rapidly across the ice around him until every single piece of ice in the room was filled with cracks.

"Shatter."

As he gave the command, all the large ice chunks simultaneously shattered into tiny shards of ice, along with the corpses of the monsters that were frozen within them.

Level-up notifications appeared in front of Evan as he dropped to his knees, his movements stiff due to the sheer amount of cold in the room.

'I really have to stop using attacks that damage me too. Oh well, at least I was able to confirm that I am indeed capable of using tier three magic.

The only issue is that I don't have the ice attribute myself despite possessing the skill, thus my current state where my own spell affects me this much.'

Opening his inventory, he pulled out a magic and healing potion, downing the two bottles instantly, before flexing his fingers and conjuring a small ball of flames on his right palm.

However, this was unnecessary as in the next moment, the temperature of the entire area increased by close to thirty degrees in an instant, his gaze turning towards the entrance to the area as he locked eyes with the reason for the sudden temperature rise.

"Thanks, I really needed that."

In response to his words, the fire spirit Amy only nodded before floating towards him and placing her hands on his shoulder, warming his body up to normal temperature instantly.

Trailing behind her were a worried Kayla, a mildly surprised Pride and a slack-jawed Eliza who looked at the melting shards of ice on the ground as they walked/flew towards him.

"Since when were you able to use Ice magic? And on this scale too?"

Hearing the high demon's question, Evan caught the lighting spirit that flew towards him in his arms and patted her head before responding.

"Since about a dozen minutes ago when I stole the skill from the first rift mage I fought."

Pride nodded upon hearing Evan's response to her question, before stepping out of the way and allowing Eliza who had recovered from her shock, to begin with her scolding.

"You knew you weren't gonna be fine when you used this right?! Then why did you do it?! Do you have a fetish for self-harm or something?!"

Despite her shouting, she was checking his body for injuries and upon seeing none, used her healing magic on him once just to be sure there was nothing wrong.

"I'm fine though. Well, besides the frostbite, but our resident fire spirit has taken care of that for me."
