BXBX NOVEL Chapter 885 Ice
Reto made it as difficult for Frigus as he could in this situation as three hundred perfect illusions were enough to confuse any opponent, however, Reto didn\'t realize that Frigus wasn\'t going to play by his rules.
\'Hah, usually everyone tries to find the original, but Frigus chose a different way.\' Wain chuckled inwardly as he watched the blue flash destroy many illusions in seconds, \'If you gradually reduce the number of illusions, eventually only one will remain and it won\'t be an illusion.\'
Reto was confused for a moment as he didn\'t expect Frigus to act so brazenly, but after Frigus destroyed fifty illusions, Reto finally began to act. The illusions\' palms were covered in purple energy as they simultaneously waved their hands, releasing a cloud of sleepy smoke outside.
Frigus knew well what Reto\'s abilities were, so he was ready for it since when the smoke appeared he held his palm out in front of his face, creating an ice helmet. It was airtight, but that wasn\'t a problem for Frigus, the most important thing was not to take a single breath of smoke.
"Agh, how did it come to this?" Elegan shook his head and with a slight sigh snapped his finger.
A transparent dome appeared above them that prevented any possibility of soporific smoke entering.
"Shit! Can you play fair or not?" Reto exclaimed with a frown.
"Hahaha, are you going to say the same thing in battle? I\'m not going to feel sorry for you, since your illusions and tricks actually annoy me!" Frigus grinned as he took a step forward. He got even faster as in a few moments there were only ten of the 300 illusions left, one of which was the real Reto.
"Well, well, it looks like Reto will have to give back the wine he promised after all, though not in the way he thought he would." Wain said slowly with a slight smile on his face.
"Damn, why is Frigus so fast...? I don\'t know how to do that! I want to do that too!" Nicole exclaimed as she puffed up her cheeks.
"Pfff, with an attitude like yours, you\'ll never get stronger than him." Sarras snorted as he waved his hand.
Nicole frowned but didn\'t respond. Once Sarras made her angry and because of her impulsiveness she attacked him, but because of the sheer number of undead that was protecting Sarras, she couldn\'t even get to him which was a real humiliation for her.
Whooooooooooooosh.
At the same moment, Frigus continued to destroy the illusions until there were only two left.
"Damn, can you switch places with them, or am I really that unlucky?" Frigus tilted his head in a slow step toward Reto.
Reto didn\'t answer he just frowned, waiting for an attack. He could have created just as many more illusions but saw no point in doing so as Frigus destroyed them all without even straining.
"Fine, get ready for my strike, I hope you can defend yourself." Frigus said calmly before turning into a blue flash, in a heartbeat facing the two illusions.
Frigus\' eyes grew cold as his sword instantly went through the two illusions. One of them disappeared as it was not the real Reto, while the original stretched his palms forward, clutching the sword blade firmly between his fingers.
Reto was physically weaker than Frigus, so stopping the ice sword this way was impossible for him, but that was only if Reto had no energy as he used some trick again.
Reto\'s hands were covered in a dense layer of purple energy that, like jelly, slowed the blade and prevented it from advancing further.
"Shit... If I timed it wrong, you\'d cut my hands off..." Reto muttered with a slight sigh, staring at the sword that gave off cold steam.
Frigus smiled, put the sword behind his back, and said, "I\'m waiting for the wine you promised, I hope you have it with you?"
Reto nodded weakly, "Sure, I knew you\'d find a way to beat me, but I didn\'t expect it to come to this. Well, at least now I know I can stop your sword."
"Yeah, that was impressive." Frigus nodded, heading to the couch and sitting to Wain\'s left. Reto did the same as he positioned himself to the right of Sarras.
Whooooooooooosh.
Reto waved his hand as a bottle of wine appeared on the table that was not made of glass but of thick ice. Inside was a scarlet liquid, it seemed that if the temperature had dropped a little more, it too would have turned to red ice.
"Take it, it\'s yours." Reto said calmly, pointing to the bottle.
Frigus shook his head, "No, I\'m not going to drink it alone like a drunk. Pour it for everyone, I think if Wain starts his story with this wine it will be perfect."
Reto didn\'t say anything, he just silently opened the bottle and after a while, all eight glasses were filled with very cold wine that gave off steam.
"Well, in that case, I\'ll start." Wain said calmly, taking the glass in his hands. The others nodded and looked at him with curious expressions.
...
Wain told them everything that Eva had told them, perhaps with a few changes, but they fully knew his story and how he had become Nameless King again.
Everyone had a different reaction to what they heard, but definitely, everyone was shocked as much as they could be.
"So the Void owner I\'ve spent my whole life in is the strongest man in history...?" Frigus muttered with his eyes wide open as waves of shivers went through his body, "Damn, in that case, I have to train even harder so I don\'t embarrass your name!"
"I agree." Nicole nodded vigorously, "If our leader is the strongest, then we have an opportunity to be the strongest after him, right? We should take advantage of that!"
Edena and Lui Bu looked at Wain with wondering faces as if they had some idea.
