Chapter 1042 Warden of Ice

Chapter 1042  Warden of Ice

Swoosh!

Screech!

Adhara made a strong fiery swipe, elongating only her claws to attack an incorporeal enemy.

Reacting to her attack, the incorporeal creature turned into smoke.

"What the heck are they?!" She shouted, darting her eyes left and right cautiously.

Not too far from her, a couple of steps away from her back was Flunra who was also fighting the same beings that were attacking him relentlessly. His reflex and battle instincts were on point, but the enemies were a tricky one to beat.

"I think they are Moon Wraiths, empowered by the Ice and Snow Moon" Flunra shouted back.

Currently, the two were surrounded by light blue mist.

Upon stepping inside the temple and being greeted with a circular, spacious hall, they were caught off guard when light blue mist seeped out of the ground and encompassed them. It rendered their sense of direction chaotic.

Following that, the mist brought along these Moon Wraiths that instinctively attacked them.

With their sharp claws, their attacks left blood marks.

In addition, attacking these Moon Wraiths proved to be quite futile.

Each time Adhara and Flunra launched an attack, their bodies dissipated into a veil of azure mist, swiftly reappearing in a different location, concealed within the mist's shroud. However, when caught off guard, the Moon Wraiths were able to injure them.

It was completely unfair, and they were stuck in this troublesome situation.

Running to the next room is the ideal move, but it's hard to navigate with this thick mist.

Seeing that three Moon Wraiths were heading towards her in a swirling smoke, Adhara made a move, channeling her fire elements to cast the Ring of Fire spell, summoning a wall of flame around her to protect her from the Moon Wraiths.

Additionally, she also uses her wind elements to strengthen her violet flames' heat.

'With this, the Moon Wraiths shouldn't be able to reach me. I need to find a way out of this'

Just as she thought of that, her eyes widened at the sight of three Moon Wraiths effortlessly piercing through her wall of flames and closing in for an attack. Adhara managed to block the one advancing from the front, but the other two left scratches on her right thigh and across her back, respectively.

"Arrghh...!" She grunted, biting her lower lip in pain.

Knowing that she was in trouble, she quickly made a leap back to create some distance.

Unknowingly, her back collided with Flunra's back.

Both of them sustained numerous scratches across their bodies which were now healing at a visible pace, closing in an instant. Observing the Moon Wraiths, moving nimbly left and right in the form of swirling smoke, Adhara and Flunra exchanged glances.

In the next second, the two instantly turned into their Werewolf forms.

Even though their auras increase exponentially, the Moon Wraiths think nothing of it.

Swoosh!

Bouncing in a zig-zag pattern while still in the ethereal smoke form, two Moon Wraiths made their move to attack. One targeted Flunra, and the other set its sights on Adhara. Just as the two Moon Wraiths were closing in, at the last moment, the corner of Flunra and Adhara's lips curled into smirks. Only when the Moon Wraiths' claws were near, they made an instantaneous move.

Faster than the Moon Wraiths, Adhara and Flunra exchanged places.

Executing a seamless pivot, the duo turned their hips and swapped positions, each targeting the other Moon Wraith with lethal intent. Surely enough, the Moon Wraith was surprised by their sudden movement, and in the blink of an eye, they were slashed into smithereens.

Before they could mount any defense, they suffered a ruthless attack.

Slash!

Clank!

Adhara's and Flunra's eyes flickered when their plan of attack worked.

Upon enduring an attack from them, the Moon Wraiths turned into a statue of ice and broke.

It was obvious that the Moon Wraiths were dead.

Looking at this, the smirk on Flunra's and Adhara's faces stretched wider.

Observing the Moon Wraiths' movements earlier, the two found that even though they were quite a troublesome opponent to deal with, their attack pattern was basic. Moreover, the fact that they would need to turn solid to land an attack on Flunra or Adhara is what gave their weakness away.

Judging from that observation, the factor of surprise is the key.

When the Moon Wraiths were about to attack them, Flunra and Adhara used their bodies to cover the other, and this method was able to catch the Moon Wraiths off guard, preventing them from being able to react in time.

From the Moon Wraith's perspective, their attacks come out of nowhere.

At the sight of this, the remaining Moon Wraiths backed away.

However, Flunra and Adhara lowered their stances as it was time to reverse the tide.

With a blazing swiftness, they dashed at incredible speed, mentally marking the positions of the remaining Moon Wraiths. Since their forms take the shape of a Werewolf, characterized by crimson eyes, it's easy to pinpoint their location.

Not even needing to communicate directly, the two aimed at one Moon Wraith at a time.

Stomping on the ground, Flunra made a fearsome tackle.

Opening his arms to the side and claws out, he tried to catch the targeted Moon Wraith.

Naturally, the Moon Wraith's survival instinct was triggered as it puffed into smoke and made a swift retreat to the side. However, as it materialized into a solid form, Adhara was already poised to eliminate it, unleashing the Fire Maelstrom spell.

It didn't realize that the ground it stepped on was already marked with a faint circle of fire.

Boom!

Almost instantly, the ground exploded into a violet flame vortex.

Under the spell, the Moon Wraith was completely engulfed by flame as it screeches in pain.

Only when the spell receded that an ice statue could be seen.

Doing the exact same thing, Adhara made a decoy attack to fix another Moon Wraith's focus before Flunra appeared from behind, impaling the Moon Wraith from the back. He then raises the Moon Wraith before biting its neck and ripping its body apart brutally.

Flunra and Adhara worked in harmony, and they were too resilient for the Moon Wraiths.

Despite the swift arrival and assistance of the other Moon Wraiths, who caught up with their plan of assault, their attacks proved futile against the fearsome duo. Nothing, not even the gnarly wound of a severed arm stopped them from attacking.

It spooked the Moon Wraith seeing that their regenerative abilities were immaculate.

Eventually, Adhara and Flunra cleared the entire Moon Wraiths.

Gasping for breath, the two looked at their surroundings and found the light blue mist was gradually being drawn back into the ground. Its dissipation marked the defeat of the last Moon Wraiths at their hands.

"Ergh- It took longer than expected," Adhara muttered, looking at her severed arm.

Her severed arm was recovering rapidly.

A regenerative ability that even the ninth-rank realm Awakened can only dream of.

Upon hearing this, Flunra nodded, "It's fine, this is a good sign. Since the defensive formation was still intact, we were the first to be here, nobody was here before us. Now, let's search for the princess' sealing tomb. When we find it, protect me, I'll awaken her myself"

Just as he said that the ground suddenly rumbles, forcing them to stumble to keep balance.

Surprisingly, the ground started to ascend.

Hunkering down, Flunra and Adhara held onto the floor as the central part of the ceiling, let out a rumbling sound and opened in a circular pattern, revealing an inner chamber concealed within the dome. Eventually, the two passed the open and entered the other room.

Boom!

A loud resounding sound was made as the ascending ground hit the ceiling.

Observing the new room, the two found that the ground was covered in shallow, clear water.

It was only ankle-length deep.

Furthermore, the entire place was shaded in a light blue hue, the sunlight was filtered by the glass-like dome and turned into this bluish light that illuminated the entire place. Surrounding them were white pillars, all leading to the other end of the room.

A staircase leading to a platform where a figure was lying motionlessly.

Clearly, the figure must be the sealed Ice and Snow Princess who they were looking for.

Despite her being sealed and rendered in a slumbering state, her power manifested to the naked eyes as delicate snow particles that enveloped her, maintaining her form in a pristine and divine manner.

Even in this slumbering state, she retained her beauty and icy grace.

At the sight of this, Adhara and Flunra approach the staircase, wanting to finish their job.

If they completed their job, they could ask Iseldra for a favor.

Helping Rex in his battle against the Executor shouldn't be too much of a favor.

Flunra and Adhara halted in their steps when they saw the two statues on either side—one was a bulky humanoid statue with armor, holding an ice anchor as a weapon while the other was a lean humanoid statue with a bow, came to life.

Boom!

Boom!

Each of their step rumbles the ground, depicting the weight of their form.

Ice Golems were the guardians of this temple.

Judging from the moonlight energy that these two Ice Golems were emanating, way denser than the Moon Wraiths, Adhara could already tell that these two were substantially stronger, possibly nearing the mid or peak ninth-rank realm.

"We'll deal with them first before I start the awakening process," Flunra said firmly.

However, Adhara shook her head in response.

"No, leave these two Ice Golems to me," She asserted with unwavering confidence. "Earlier you said that the faster we finish this, the better. We have no clue when the battle will start, so trust me and start the awakening process, I'll be the one to protect you"

Upon hearing this, Flunra raised an eyebrow.

Since he has been with Adhara for some time, he's familiar with her strengths and limits.

Going against these two Ice Golems might be a little hard for her.

'I don't think even if she uses her Herald Mark, she would be able to occupy these two Ice Golems herself' Flunra pondered, but then he squinted, seeing that the fire element around Adhara's body morphed into something greater. 'What is that...?'

Swoosh!

Not pulling anything back, Adhara activated her newly created, True Fire Blossoms.

She managed to activate three out of ten and boost her power to a terrifying new height.

Coupled with that, her Anti Werewolf bloodline was riled up, creating a seething white steam out of her body before blasting a white energy shockwave to the surroundings. Her powerful shockwave hits the Ice Golems and shockingly sends them stumbling back.

At the sight of that, Flunra nodded her head.

'With their reliance on moonlight energy, the Ice Golems would find themselves severely disadvantaged in a confrontation with Adhara and her Anti-Werewolf bloodline. I guess, leaving the Ice Golems to her wouldn't be a problem' Realizing that, Flunra stepped back.

He made ample space for Adhara to attack the Ice Golems.

Roar!!

Baring her fangs and claws, Adhara lets out a thunderous roar before launching her assault.

In retaliation to her assault, the Ice Golem armed with a bow unleashed an ice arrow charged with dense moonlight energy. It sliced through the air with a formidable force, creating light, haunting whistling sounds.

Naturally, the potency of this ice arrow is palpable.

Without a doubt, it was capable of killing even a ninth-rank realm Awakened.

However, the potency of Adhara's fire has surpassed the normal limitation. In a fraction of a second, she injured three intricate fire scimitars, and one swing effortlessly deflected the incoming ice arrow.

Just as she successfully dodged the ice arrow, the other Ice Golem made its move.

It struck down with the ice anchor with both hands.

Crash!!

Adhara maneuvered nimbly and dodged the attack, leaping up strongly.

Raising her gaze, she found another ice arrow was inches away from hitting her mid-air, but her eyes flickered and with nothing but a glance, her fire consumed the entire ice arrow and melted it into nothing.

Smiling excitedly, reeling at her newfound power, she propelled herself with an explosion.

Boom!

In a blurry fashion, she reached the Ice Golem with a bow easily.

Cloaking her claws with both her elemental prowess and her bloodline's energy, she made a ferocious swipe that instantly cut the Ice Golem into four pieces of ice. Her claws were akin to a heated steel that easily tore through butter.

Not stopping at that, her figure disappeared again.

Adhara uses her fire elements to create multiple explosions to change direction quickly.

Her movement became even faster, she darted from left to right and right to left around the Ice Golem with extreme speed. As she gained good control over her new power, she began to slice the last Ice Golem multiple times.

Not being able to react at all, the Ice Golem found numerous slices across its body.

Blurred in from nowhere, Adhara stands behind the Ice Golem.

Just as she fully reverted back into her human form, the last Ice Golem's body exploded.

Clank!
