Chapter 696 Glacial Dominion

Normally, both sides were closely watching themselves to prevent anyone from trying to pull anything. They had soldiers around all the Bridges that crossed the river from Ceasya to Cudjour, but today, the GEE soldiers around the bridges were told to withdraw.

Each position left 1000 soldiers as a cover so the others could withdraw stealthily, evading Wolfen\'s watch.

They re-joined the main army around the area with the largest bridge, and Amiyah\'s sudden appearance at the vanguard captured the attention of the Wolfen soldiers and prevented them from noticing these movements.

The Leading Wolfen General also stepped forward as well, as he felt that they may be planning something.

\'If she uses any powerful magic now…\'

The width of the river wasn\'t a constraint for Amiyah if she wished to attack his forces, and as one of the two Superior Grandmasters present, only he could block her attack without suffering much damage.

As for Evan, he watched this standoff happen—from 30,000 feet in the air.

Seating on a platform he created with a void step, he looked at the soldiers down below while thinking out loud.

"There\'s the option of them creating footholds with aura like I do with my void steps skill, but unfortunately, it seems that not everyone finds it as easy as I do to create these footholds during combat.

Also, this river has aquatic monsters in it, so even if they can use aura footholds to stand on the water\'s surface, the blood that\'d spill would inevitably attract monsters and that\'d cause even more casualties."

With a light sigh, Evan activated Lethe, before jumping off the void step and freefalling towards the ground.

Lethe was a very powerful concealment skill, but it had a big weakness. If one was cognizant of his presence upon its activation, the skill\'s effectiveness on them was reduced.

That was part of the reason why Evan went high up in the air before activating it. As for the second, that was simply because he wanted to skydive for a bit.

\'Wind Magic: Featherweight\'

Our skydiving protagonist released his wings when he was around 5000 feet in the air, slowing his descent before eventually landing on the water like a feather, right in the middle of the two armies.

Evan placed his hand on the surface of the water and sent a stream of magic power down, using it to calculate the river\'s depth.

\'This thing is about…600 feet? That\'s pretty deep. Freezing to the bottom would be a waste of energy. I\'d half-freeze it then…\'

He planned to turn the upper half of the river to ice, making it a gigantic block of ice that was floating on the water of the lower half.

It was going to eventually melt, but that was going to take quite a while to happen due to the energy infused in it.

Evan held up his hand and slotted some magic stones into the Energem Reclaimer, before activating Limit Break.

As much as he\'d like to use BoD so he would not spend any of his precious Peak Grandmaster Magic stones, BoD was not exactly a good choice here.

Using BoD would infuse the ice with destructive essence, and the soldiers would not be able to march on it as they\'d be taking damage from his destructive essence.

So, Limit Break was the better option.

\'Harbinger of Ice: Glacial Dominion.\'

"?!!!"

"What?!"

It was nigh impossible for the superior grandmasters present to miss the surge of energy that came with Evan\'s technique activation.

But no one, not even Bourne who was hiding among the foot soldiers could do a thing about it.

It was just that fast.

A wave of frigid energy suddenly surged forth and enveloped the entire river in a shimmering veil of ice. The once-churning waters froze solid, transforming into a vast expanse of crystalline ice that stretched from bank to bank, and upstream to downstream.

The soldiers stood frozen, their mouths agape as they witnessed this feat unfold before their eyes. The ones who just so happened to blink at that point in time reopened their eyes to see that the water had turned to ice.

On both sides of the river, whispers of awe and disbelief rippled through the ranks, mingling with the biting cold of the newly formed ice.

Amidst the stunned silence, a voice rose above the murmurs—one filled with recognition as its owner gazed at the boy who had suddenly materialized right at the centre of the river—the one responsible for this.

"Irregular?! It\'s Evan Eris!!"

His voice echoed across the frozen expanse and the name sent a ripple of recognition through the soldiers, many of whom had heard tales of this teenage powerhouse. And now, as they stood witness to his incredible display of power, they knew that those tales were true.

Evan ignored the Wolfen General who shouted his name and turned to the Imperial Army before asking.

"What are you waiting for? Charge forward already."

His words seemed to snap Amiyah out of her daze as she gave the order and had the Imperial Army cheered and charged forward. But even as they crossed the icy expanse, they could not shake the lingering sense of awe at Evan\'s feat.

The boy then turned towards the Wolfen soldiers who were also about to charge and shook his head.

"Unfortunately, you do not have tickets to cross this ice bridge of mine."

With a snap of his fingers, the ice surged forth and the first three lines of soldiers were instantly frozen solid in thick sheets of solid ice.

Naturally, they tried to break out, but one of their companion\'s screams of pain served to warm them—that if they made even one wrong move, they would end up splitting themselves apart.

The man\'s severed arm spluttering blood was all the proof they needed to know.

Within seconds, the Imperial Army soldiers had charged halfway across the ice, the river\'s 700-metre width proving little of a challenge for them to traverse.

Wolfen mages took to the skies and launched magic spells at Evan, while some others tried to thaw the frozen vanguard soldiers.

The GEE\'s Griffons screeched as they flapped their wings and released powerful gusts of wind, attempting to knock the Wolfen Mages out of the skies.

The Wolfen General kicked off the ground and dashed towards Evan, closing the 350-metre gap between them in a mere second, but before he could do a thing, Amiyah suddenly showed up with arms crackling with lightning.

"Well, Hello there."

**BAM!!!

She threw a punch that collided with the General\'s face and sent him flying back to where he jumped from in an instant.

Evan shook his head as he saw the General bash through his frozen soldiers, ending their lives, before redirecting his attention to his energy reserves.

\'Limit break tripled my energy and yet I\'d consumed 1//3 of that energy in an instant.\'

Considering he had used enough power to freeze the river for around 100 metres feet in depth, 700 metres in width and kilometres in length, and made the ice strong enough to withstand the thousands of soldiers who were now fighting battles and throwing out Tier 3 spells on it, it was only natural the magic power consumption was enormous.

**BOOOMM!!!!

A massive explosion rang nearby and hundreds of soldiers were sent flying by the shockwaves. A casual glance in that direction showed that two Superior Masters had clashed using their full power attacks, and yet, the ice only had a crater that was barely 3 metres deep.

If that attack had been unleashed on normal earth, then multiple buildings worth of area would have been devastated by it.

Evan just tapped his foot on the ground and instantly, the crater closed up, before turning towards the battle between Amiyah and Wolfen\'s General.

Since Evan was as strong as multiple superior grandmasters combined, firepower on par with that of multiple superior grandmasters was needed to crumble this ice, unfortunately, there were only two present on Wolfen\'s side, while those who were on the GEE\'s side were not foolish enough to shoot themselves in the foot.

The Imperial army soldiers succeeded in pushing the Wolfen soldiers off the ice and back onto normal earth, pressing forward with intensity while the Wolfen Soldiers hastily retreated deeper into Todbury.

Seeing this, Evan frowned before looking up at Amiyah who backed away from the Wolfen General and scanned the battlefield with her eyes.

The General tried to attack her again, but Evan used Everlasting chains to hold him and stop him from distracting Amiyah, allowing the Half-Elf woman to complete her analysis.

\'…this guy.\'

Her eyes narrowed as she glanced at the General restrained by Evan, and the boy\'s actions were a confirmation of her conjecture.

\'Their General\'s aim was never to engage me in battle, but to distract me.\'

Immediately she thought that, she infused magic power into her voice and called out.

"FIRST DIVISION VANGUARD!! FALL BACK!!!"

Without hesitation, her subordinate Lieutenant General who headed the first division, echoed her words and the soldiers; being ordered to fall back despite their advantage, obeyed the orders immediately.

Seeing this, the Wolfen General\'s eyes widened and he shouted out with his magic-infused voice.

"BLOW THEM UP!!!"

***KAAABOOOOOMMM!!!!!
