Chapter 698 Ice General II
The shockwaves from his fist\'s collision with the barrier slammed into him an instant later and he was sent flying back to the ground, however, Evan flipped around mid-air and landed on his feet.
In that same instant, he kicked off the ground and charged in again, this time, coating his fist with his icy aura and throwing a more powerful punch at the Ice General.
The man instantly realised the power difference in the attack, and quickly dodged, a second before Evan\'s fist bashed through his barrier like a stone through glass.
Evan created a void step in the air and then used it to rebound himself in the Ice General\'s direction, forcing the man to meet the second incoming punch head-on.
A sky-blue aura surrounded his arm and he flew straight towards Evan who increased the concentration of energy in his own fist.
**BOOOMMM!!!!
Two fists collided in the skies, releasing shockwaves that parted the clouds while the golden and blue auras exploded with bright light.
The ice General took the initiative, activating a skill and sending a right straight towards Evan\'s face, but the boy dodged backwards before raising his hands and using a technique.
It was something he had gained inspiration for after seeing Roselia and Nadarus use their Sin Incarnations multiple times over.
Roselia\'s \'Throne of the Omnipotent\' was what helped him finalize the mental image needed, and this was the first time he was deploying the technique in battle.
"Harbinger of Ice: Frostborne Colossus."
With his words as a command, a giant humanoid knight manifested from the swirling currents of his icy magic power. Its towering form took shape with golden lamé particles of Evan\'s energy shimmering and dancing within the icy behemoth.
The Colossal knight of magic power emerged holding a massive sword aloft. Evan\'s golden aura filled the blade and the knight swung it down at breakneck speed.
With a swift motion, the Ice General infused his arms with a pulsating blue aura, crossing them above his head to intercept the colossal blade. He had little choice as if it hit the ground, Heaven knows how many hundred soldiers would be blasted to pieces.
The impact was fierce, sending shockwaves through his body as he was knocked backwards, hurtling towards the ground.
Despite the force of the blow, he managed to regain his balance in mid-air, flipping gracefully to land in a superhero pose.
As he glanced down at his forearms, he noticed streams of blood trickling from the wounds, and his bones showed signs of cracking under the immense pressure. It was a testament to the overwhelming power of the attack he had just barely managed to deflect.
\'This boy is too strong!\'
That was the thought that crossed the man\'s mind as he looked at Evan who was already infusing more magic power into the Colossus\' blade, ready for another attack.
"Unique Skill."
He muttered under his breath and gestured with his hands, causing a massive pillar of ice to emerge from the ground and shoot straight towards the giant sword which the Ice Knight had thrust towards the ground.
As the colossal sword descended towards the ground, the icy pillar surged forth, splitting open with a thunderous crack.
Its hollow centre enveloped the sword, swallowing it whole before erupting into a blinding explosion of brilliant light.
When the icy smoke cleared, Evan\'s figure standing in the air was revealed, his form outlined by a golden-rimmed portal crackling with icy energy.
On the ground was the Ice General, floating a few metres above the ground and surrounded by a dozen icy pillars aimed directly at Evan, their hollow tips poised like cannons primed for battle.
The tension hung heavy in the air as the two locked gazes, each prepared for the clash to come.
However, this tense moment was broken by a third voice that rang out in the Ice General\'s ears.
[Focusing all your attention on Evan, is not a wise decision.]
"?!"
The Ice General immediately turned around, creating a sword of ice which he swung in a wide arc but it was already too late.
The blade simply phased through Milena\'s form like an illusion and the spirit\'s body then burst into a cloud of icy mist.
Countless icicles formed around him and he was instantly bombarded by their fire. His Icy cannons were destroyed almost instantly and the hastily made barriers he put up to defend were not strong enough to block these icicles.
He tried flying out of the mist, but no matter how far he went, the mist was still around him, obscuring his vision and his senses.
Suddenly, the side of his face felt hot, and he sensed magic power accumulating there. But faster than he could circulate his magic power to stop whatever was happening, Evan appeared beside him, his fist coated in lightning.
"Fracture."
**BOOOM!!!
The lightning energy flashed back for a double impact when the Electroflame rose bloomed, generating enough power to deplete the man\'s durability and cause blood to spurt into the air.
"Sorry bro, my spirits didn\'t want me to waste too much time on you."
Evan apologized as he saw the Ice General\'s body get sent flying out of Milena\'s mist, right into the path of a certain lightning spirit who delivered another \'Fracture\' to the other side of his head.
The second punch knocked the ice General towards Milena who had just reformed her physical body.
[I\'d refrain from that.]
Not wanting to punch anyone, Milena waved her hand and a pillar of pressurized water erupted from the ground, slamming into the Ice General\'s body and knocking him into the air.
She then snapped her fingers and activated her Unique skill.
"Aquafire: Oxyhydrogen explosion."
In that same instant that the oxygen and hydrogen in the water concentrated in a single point on the man\'s torso, Evan and Kayla activated skills simultaneously.
"Mesarthim: Red."
"Ark Flash."
Prismatic Flames and golden lightning hit the man\'s body faster than Milena could ignite the concentrated hydrogen and oxygen, doing the job for her in a very flashy manner.
The dazzling display of bright multicoloured energy erupted with a deafening roar, engulfing the Ice General in a torrent of fiery hues.
Amidst the chaotic brilliance, the Ice General\'s body was flung through the air, blood spilling from his wounds as he hurtled downward.
With a sickening thud, he crashed to the ground, the impact sending shockwaves rippling through the earth.
Looking at him lying defeated on the ground, Kayla asked a question.
[Is he dead?]
"Don\'t say the revival spell!"
Evan reflexively retorted when Kayla spoke, while Milena took a look at the man and asked.
"We aren\'t trying to kill him, right? So, wouldn\'t the \'Revival spell\' be useful here?"
Evan and Kayla looked at Milena with wide eyes, and then at themselves, before turning back to her and echoing a reply.
"[You\'re damn right, it is!]"
[Of course, I am.]
Milena just sighed and waved her hands, freezing the Ice General\'s body in a cocoon of ice before flying back to the main battlefield.
◇ ◇ ◇
The air reverberated with triumphant cheers as the Imperial Soldiers surged forward, pursuing the retreating Wolfen soldiers. Their shouts echoed across the battlefield, mingling with the sounds of clashing swords and thundering hooves.
As the Wolfen Soldiers fled deeper into Todbury, they inevitably had to pass through where Evan and his little spirit army had dealt with their reinforcements.
Evan watched this in silence as he sipped on one of his juice pack potions. Bourne then landed beside him and used Grounded Embrace to bring them all down to their knees, before Evan tapped his foot on the ground in an attempt to use Glacial Ember Encasement.
**BOOOMM!!!!
It was then that they heard a loud noise coming from the distance, one that was very familiar to not just them, but every being who had witnessed supersonic travel before.
A Sonic Boom.
But if there was an important fact about sonic booms, it was that by the time it was heard, the entity who caused it was already long gone.
Bottom line, the person who caused this overly loud sonic boom they just heard in the distance, was already at their location.
Immediately, Bourne\'s face behind the mask turned dark while Amiyah who was listening to a damage report suddenly started laughing when she sensed the aura that was approaching.
The next moment, a massive four-ringed magic circle appeared in the air, its crystal blue colour gleaming in the sunlight.
From the magic circle, a giant beam of ice descended, crashing on the ground where the retreating Wolfen Soldiers were congregated releasing a massive explosion of dust and icy smoke.
As the icy smoke was cleared by a gust of wind, the effect of the spell became apparent. Instead of fleeing soldiers, the battlefield was now adorned with frozen sculptures.
Looking up at the sky, they all saw the one responsible for this, a face that there was barely any Imperial Soldier who didn\'t recognize it.
The man ignored the voices of awe coming from the soldiers and looked around the battlefield, instantly spotting the masked hooded man who was running in the opposite direction.
He then \'disappeared\' from the sky, after which another sonic boom was heard, and appeared right in front of Bourne, setting a leg and causing the Bourne to trip and fall.
"Ouch…"
Evan remarked as he saw Kieran grab Bourne by his leg, before jumping into the air and shooting off into the distance with another sonic boom.
Witnessing this, a lot of soldiers were dumbfounded, while Evan and Amiyah looked at themselves in silence before echoing the same words.
"He got what was coming to him."
◇ ◇ ◇
The battle had been won and the Wolfen Army surrendered very quickly. Evan, Milena and the fire mages helped thaw the Wolfen Soldiers whom Kieran had frozen with his powerful Tier 4 magic, while the rest of the army handled all the after-battle procedures.
Wounded soldiers were tended to, casualties were accounted for, while those who were relatively fine were sent over to Todbury\'s side to man the area.
Even though they had defeated this Army, they needed to also defeat the reserve forces in Todbury, but when Amiyah sent scouts to check the state\'s borders, she was informed that the Toll Gates had flown a white flag.
The Governor of Todbury did not want any fighting to go on near the towns and cities in the state, so he reluctantly surrendered without battle, despite the reserve military commander\'s opinion.
The bridges were lowered and Evan\'s ice melted, with the river\'s level being a lot lower than before due to the fact that a lot of the ice was broken off and tossed around during battle.
Even if one needed multiple superior grandmasters to break it in one go, it was still very possible for tens of thousands of master levels to achieve the same thing in some time as well.
