'Everlasting Chains!'
For the first time since he got this skill while battling an otherworldly monster in the tower of trials, Evan unleashed its full power.
Golden magic power surged out of Evan's body, wave after wave, swirling around in the surroundings.
Dozens of massive golden chains, each one laden with thick amounts of magic and aura burst out of the ground and shot up into the air at sonic speed and pierced through the monster bird's wings.
More chains burst out and wrapped around its body tightly, restraining its movements, and internal energy flow.
"Fall!"
The chains dragged Silverwing back to the ground as if it were a prisoner being taken to the execution block.
Trying to use its energy to break out of the chains turned out to be the worst idea as the Everlasting Chains could absorb and harness the energy of those bound by it; and rousing its energy only made it easier for the chains to absorb Silverwing's energy.
The otherworldly runes inscribed on the chains glowed brightly as Silverwing's enormous energy reserves were sucked dry.
Evan slowly put his energy potion back into his inventory as he savoured the energy stolen from Silverwing.
As for Eliza, the current Silverwing was nothing more than a sitting duck for her Life energy draining prison.
Multiple green lines spread across her hands like circuits as she looked up at the imprisoned monster and spoke one command mantra.
"Bleed!"
Her soul was strained slightly as she was now delving into World law territory, something the soul of a grandmaster was not able to take.
In fact, ever since she learned Lethality Manipulation, she had already delved into this territory, it was just her doctrine of life title that was taking the brunt of the strain for how, but now it had reached its limit.
Still, the effects of her single command mantra were clear to see.
Bright red blood suddenly burst out of all Silverwing's orifices at the same time, the monster bird choking and coughing up ruptured pieces of internal organs.
Silverwing's eyes slowly drooped close as if it was about to go unconscious, but at right before its eyelids closed completely, they suddenly shot wide open again, a red light flashing in the monster bird's eyes.
"KAAAAAKKKKKKK!!!!"
After letting out another type of screech, Silverwing released a massive burst of blood-red icy energy that created a massive tornado of bloody ice.
The whole party was knocked back to the edge of the Cavern, violently slamming onto the walls of the monster bird's home.
"Guh! Breath of Life!
Kuk!"
Eliza groaned multiple times as she sent out a wave of healing energy that wrapped around the party members and healed their wounds, consuming most of the life energy she had stolen from Silverwing.
Evan's everlasting chains were encased in thick layers of ice, ice that broke apart a mere second later, along with the frozen chains that ensnared it.
The bird stood upright and looked at the party with its now red eyes, and seeing this Evan sent out a message to his contracted spirits.
'It's here. Silverwing's trump card!'
They all tensed up upon hearing those words, as Silverwing's other attacks were absurdly fierce and contained enough power to kill them if they slipped up even a tiny bit, then what could its trump card possibly be?
But despite their tenseness, Silverwing only flew up to where its destroyed nest was and stared at them silently.
Its beak opened slightly and just when they braced for an attack, a clear deep voice rang out through the Cavern.
[Harbinger of Ice.]
Eliza and the spirits' eyes turned wide in surprise as they hadn't expected the bird to suddenly speak at this time.
And from the words it spoke, they finally understood the reason for its uncanny ice manipulation capabilities.
It possessed the Unique Harbinger Series Skill of the Ice Element!
But they could not afford to dwell on that when they heard its next words.
[Black Domain of Silence.]
**HOONNNG!!
An eerie sound rang out as the temperature of the Cavern suddenly plummeted rapidly, to the point where they all started feeling a thin layer of ice covering their skin, even Kuro who was inside Eliza's shadow also saw ice covering his fur and skin!
[What?!]
Kuro who was usually the calmest person around was utterly flabbergasted by this phenomenon.
Cold.
Utterly intense cold filled the surroundings.
This strong cold aura made Evan's danger sense skill send out warning bells of danger.
The ambient concentration of the strange multicoloured energy he could not sense tripled instantly and surged towards the monster bird's body.
Silverwing's glittering white feathers turned a deep dark colour, darker than black as if the darkness was swallowing them whole.
The entire Cavern of the Frozen Harbinger turned incomparably dark, they had all been pulled right into Silverwing's skill domain!
Just as they braced themselves and Eliza layered them with buffs, Silverwing's cold aura and ether burst out, it was as though the lights of the world turned off.
Silverwing then folded its wings and dove towards them, streaking through the air at supersonic speed.
Eliza deployed multi-layered barriers but a swift strike from the monster bird's talons tore them apart with ease.
Dark light gathered in its mouth and they all instantly scrambled to dodge; the spirits returned to their spiritual; bodies and blitzed out while Evan grabbed Eliza and blinked behind Silverwing, to the area the bird had flown past, narrowly avoiding the laser beams.
That proved to be the wisest decision as that dark light beam contained a sizable chunk of the strange multicoloured energy the bird had absorbed; getting hit by it equalled instant death.
Silverwing didn't seem to care much as it turned around to charge again, its speed surpassing even Evan's expectations and estimations.
It shot towards Evan and Eliza once more as they were the two greatest threats to its existence. There was Kayla but dealing with the spirit would be easier after it had killed Evan who was clearly the contractor.
Eliza instantly consumed all her energy and the life energy she had in reserve, along with five charges of her unique skill to activate multiple simultaneous buffs and skills.
First, a Barrier materialized, conjuring a translucent shield infused with protective life energy. Simultaneously, Divergent Wards come into existence, a complex network of ever-shifting barriers that defy conventional attacks.
Following this was a crystal ice wall, a solid structure born of elemental ice. Then the Elemental Breach Negative debuff disrupted the monster bird's offensive potential, dampening its icy aura's influence, while Elemental Ward, Ice enhanced their resistance against its incoming assault.
Eliza threw in more defensive buffs and support magic, using Negative Energy Shield to increase the defence against the negative temperature, while Elemental Damage-Negative was cast to absorb and attempt to nullify its elemental attacks. The Greater Magic Shield enhanced their resilience offering an extra layer of protection.
Furthermore, Eliza also used Greater Ice Resistance to boost their immunity to its powers, and the Grand Vow of Life Stealing to siphon Silverwing's vitality.
Lastly, the air shimmered with the presence of an Everlasting Chain Barrier, an enchanted construct that expanded and interweaved to forge an ethereal barrier of energy that was privy to all Eliza's buffs.
Barrier!
Divergent Wards!
Crystal Ice Wall!!
Elemental Breach Negative!
Elemental Ward, Ice!
Protect Energy Negative!
Elemental Damage-Negative!
Greater Magic Shield!
Greater Ice Resistance!
Grand Vow of Life Stealing
Aura of Fortification!
The battle priestess's eyes turned red and blood dripped down her eyelids and her lips, but these were merely physical representations of the strain her soul was currently going through for using the power of a law doctrine while not being a Legendary.
Her title and skill were stretching the limit of how much they could protect her from its repercussion, and the law of causality was silently waiting for them to break their limits so it could swoop in and ensnare her.
But their defensive symphony didn't end there as Evan activated multi-layered fire elemental shields around the both of them, further bolstering the defences with dozens of protective flame spells tinged with the crimson essence of the law of destruction.
All these happened in the split second that it took for Silverwing to reach its position.
The temperature around Silverwing plummeted deeper into negative territory, freezing the very air and turning it into a crystalline mist that amplified its dark aura.
Upon collision with the defences set up, the impact sent shockwaves through the ground, shaking multiple structures above ground and shocking the living daylights out of all the legendary Level spirits who were watching the battle from a distance.
The icy floor of the frozen domain shattered upon contact as the blast engulfed everything within the vicinity.
Even light within the range of the ultra-low temperature was about to freeze, causing the terrifying black domain phenomena that the Monster bird had called out.
Evan's Danger Sense skill had broken the limits of how much existential danger it could warn even about, as right now the skill rune on Evan's soul was actually going into overdrive just trying to convey the threat of that strange multicoloured energy Silverwing was now using.
