BXBX NOVEL Chapter 52: True Ice Princess
It was a battle of both patience and intelligence.
But in the end, it was the Orc King that moved first.
The Orc King had less patience than the Ice Princess, so it charged forward while swinging its sword out. This swing was much too early to be considered an attack on the Ice Princess, but it was a different story because this was a magic weapon.
When the Orc King swung this sword out, there were vines that suddenly appeared in the air around the Orc King.
These vines were aimed right at the Ice Princess.
They came in different directions, as if they were targeting different parts of the Ice Princess.
At the same time, using these vines as a cover, the Orc King started running right at the Ice Princess. He lifted the magic sword in his hand high up as if he was preparing to slash down at her.
To everyone\'s surprise, the Ice Princess didn\'t make a single move as she watched the vines approach.
Even when they were right in front of her, she didn\'t move.
In the end, the vines were able to wrap around the arms and legs of the Ice Princess, completely trapping her. They were even able to lift her up right in the air in front of the Orc King, giving him the perfect target.
The Orc King didn\'t hesitate at all when he saw this and brought the magic sword in his hand right down on the Ice Princess.
When the sword made contact with the Ice Princess, there was no resistance at all as it cut right through her.
Her body was cut in half from her shoulder to her waist and it crumpled to pieces as it fell to the ground.
The Awakeners were all shocked when they saw this, while the Orc King had a look of triumph on his face. That was until they saw the real form of the Ice Princess\' corpse on the ground.
It was just a bunch of ice.
What the Orc King had just slashed was nothing more than a bunch of ice that had been formed in the shape of the Ice Princess. All that the Orc King had cut apart was an ice statue.
The Ice Princess was already behind the Orc King with her sword raised.
In one swift slash, she cut both of the Orc King\'s arms, causing them to droop down in front of him.
"So firm." She muttered under her breath.
Even though she had used her full strength, she hadn\'t been able to cut off the arms of the Orc King. She had only been able to make small cuts in the skin of the Orc King that made his arms go weak.
But at the same time, she could see that…
"Such strong regeneration." The Ice Princess muttered again.
In front of her eyes, she could see that the wounds were closing at a visible rate. Even though she had frozen the arms of the Orc King with her ice power, it still wasn\'t enough to stop the regeneration.
"What monstrous regeneration powers…this b*stard…" The Ice Princess cursed under her breath.
It took no time at all for the Orc King to regain the power in his arms and he turned back to face the Ice Princess.
The Ice Princess had naturally also sensed this, so she had already moved away from the Orc King.
But as she jumped back, people with sharp eyes could see that there were ice crystals that had formed where she was standing previously. At the same time, there were ice crystals that formed in the air in front of the Orc King.
The Orc King didn\'t see any of this and charged at the Ice Princess without a care.
Then as expected, the ice crystals on the ground suddenly formed spikes in front of the Orc King that it could no longer avoid with the speed that it was going at.
As for the ice crystals that were in the air…they clung to the Orc King\'s skin and formed a layer of ice that quickly spread across the Orc King. This layer of ice went over the Orc King and seemed like it was about to completely freeze the Orc King.
However, before it could, there seemed to be something that was resisting the spread of this ice.
Eventually, the ice stopped spreading and even shattered apart.
There were some parts of the Orc King\'s skin that had turned a bit pale because of being frozen, but it was recovering at a visible speed.
It seemed that regardless of what attacks she used, the Orc King would be able to recover from it.
Unless she used an attack that was too strong for the Orc King to recover from, she wouldn\'t be able to permanently hurt the Orc King with his monstrous regeneration.
The Ice Princess bit her lip before saying, "Fine, I\'ll fight you seriously then."
The Orc King didn\'t care about any of this until there was a sudden burst of energy that came from in front of it.
Feeling this burst of energy, the Orc King finally stopped moving. At the same time, there was a layer of frost that appeared on the Orc King\'s skin.
When the Awakeners saw this, the C Rank leader immediately shouted, "Move back! Everyone move back!"
He recognized this move from the Ice Princess and unless they moved away, they would be caught up in the fight.
As soon as they heard this, all of the Awakeners evacuated quite a bit away before they finally no longer felt the chill coming from the center.
In the center of this circle, the Ice Princess was standing there surrounded in cold mist.
Her hair had gone from that ice blue colour to completely white.
