Chapter 180: Ch-180: Amber vs Hobgoblin
As soon as Amber’s words fell, a row of text appeared on Victor’s retina.
---
Bloodline:
Primordial Frost Succubus (SS Rank): A bloodline unique to her, which is at least twice as strong as a normal Ice Warlock bloodline, and due to its power, the appearance of the ice has turned pitch black.
Ability:
Primordial Ice Manipulation and Maker: Ability to create and control ice (SS Tier)
Demon Transformation (SS Tier)
Soul Vessel (S Tier)
A separate space within the user which can store souls of enemies the user kills.
Army of Ice (SS Tier)
Sacrifice souls from the Soul Vessel to create ice soldiers according to the imagination of the user.

"I see, it’s not permanent." Victor was a bit disappointed, as it was inferior to his Army of Darkness, which was permanent and did not require sacrificing souls every time he created an army. Victor looked at Amber, who was looking at him smugly, and his lips twitched.
"So, how is my skill? It’s powerful, isn’t it?" Amber said haughtily as she flicked her hair.
"Mm, it’s good."
What else could Victor say? He just agreed with her.
Amber, seemingly satisfied, then looked at the goblins with a cold expression on her face as she raised her hands and more and more soldiers began to form.
"Bullshit, this is pure bullshit!" Rina could not care about her image and cursed as she looked at the gradually increasing ice soldiers and beasts amidst the endless expanse of black snow and blizzard. She had to take out some warm clothes, or else she would have suffered frostbite.
She could not believe that Amber could do something like this and thought, ’Both of them are freaks.’
At first, Rina thought only Victor’s black lightning bloodline was broken, but she did not expect Amber’s bloodline to be just as broken as the lightning bloodline.
’At least she only has one bloodline.’ Even in this cold, sweat dripped down Rina’s face, which froze into crystals, and her resolve became firmer: ’I need to create a relationship with both of them.’
As Rina was planning in her head, Amber’s voice rang out.
"Charge."
As soon as her words fell, the first to move were the ice dragons, followed by the ice soldiers. As soon as the goblins saw the army charging at them, they felt a wave of terror wash over them, and some of them tried to escape, but were torn down by dragons and cut down by ice knights. It was a complete massacre.
The hobgoblins, who saw the ice dragons as the main source of destruction, charged toward them.
The four Hobgoblins attacked the dragon with all their power, and it didn’t take long for the dragon to be torn apart... But... the dragon exploded, splattering all four Hobgoblins and instantly freezing them.
"AGGHHHH!" they screamed.
The dragon that was destroyed started to recreate itself again. This time, not just one, but seven dragons appeared in total. Not only that, several other beasts that Amber had seen began to materialize.
Hiss.
The soldiers who were operating the mechs were frozen stiff upon seeing the carnage and looked at each other before whispering,
"Heavens, I didn’t know Miss Amber was this strong."
"Hell, I never knew an ice bloodline could be this strong."
"Idiot, that’s a mutated ice bloodline. Of course it would be strong."
"Damn, do we even need to fight?"
Even Victor was a bit surprised seeing the power of the army.
"Kih!"
A Tier 3 Hobgoblin, who seemed to be the leader, sounded enraged as he looked at his army getting slaughtered.
Suddenly, he heard a delicate, seductive voice.
"Ice Spikes!"
Under her command, the ground in front of the fat Hobgoblin suddenly froze, and several sharp-tipped spikes shot out from the ground without warning.
The fat Hobgoblin snorted through its nose and, without any fancy moves, struck forward with its bone club, destroying the ice spikes with utter ease before charging forward while laughing wildly.
"Tsk."
Amber clicked her tongue slightly as the enemy’s physical strength was really annoying.
Amber suddenly gave a beautiful smile, but the Hobgoblin had a bad feeling.
"Ice Mirrors," Amber muttered.
Countless mirrors made of ice sprang out from the ground and trapped the Hobgoblin. There were hundreds of mirrors and no apparent pattern to them as they filled the area flooded by black, frigid ice mist that obscured his vision.
Those ice mirrors were the same as normal mirrors. The Hobgoblin could see his reflection in them.
The green creature raised its vigilance to the highest level and looked at the mirrors around him.
At this time, Amber’s figure shattered like a mirror before she appeared behind the Hobgoblin, emerging from a random mirror like a ghost.
As soon as she emerged, Amber used an ice sword to stab him, but he easily caught it, and when he was about to grab Amber, she slipped back inside the mirrors. This cat-and-mouse game started to play out.
"Why does this scenario feel similar to a certain show about a blonde ninja?" Victor’s lips twitched as he saw the technique.
Maybe after the Hobgoblin had been playing this game for a few minutes, it seemed both of them were starting to run out of patience, and Amber, with fierce killing intent, jumped out of one of the mirrors and tried to stab the Hobgoblin in the back with her ice sword.
The Hobgoblin, who had been looking around, suddenly stopped and gave a nasty grin.
Just as the ice sword was about to touch the Hobgoblin’s neck, the Hobgoblin directly brought down its club onto Amber’s face, immediately stopping her dead in her tracks and knocking her unconscious to the ground.
"Keke."
Seeing Amber unconscious and vulnerable on the ground, the Hobgoblin could no longer hold back its lust and started to remove its loincloth. Even if she was dead, he would still enjoy her.
But just as he was about to take a step forward, a cold, emotionless voice rang out.
"Ice Chains."
As soon as those words fell, the Amber on the ground shattered into ice, and the Hobgoblin immediately understood it was merely a decoy, but before he could react, a black chain shot out from the ice clone and wrapped around his wrist. He was about to try to tear it away, but before he could, hundreds of black ice chains shot out from the ice mirrors, completely wrapping him up.
"Finally, caught you."
Amber gave a malicious smile. Even though her bloodline was very strong, it was still a bit difficult for her to kill it, as its speed and defense were much higher than hers, and she had an attack that could kill it but needed to immobilize the Hobgoblin first.
"You can die now," Amber said in a cold voice as wings of ice sprouted from her back, and she flew into the sky and raised her hand as large amounts of ice started to gather above her.
"Kiki!"
The Hobgoblin felt a mortal threat from whatever Amber was doing and started struggling to free itself from the chains.
"Holy..."
Emily and Rina’s eyes widened to the size of saucers, and even Victor’s lips twitched when he saw a giant black ice trident as large as his giant lightning axe hovering above her head.
"Die."
Amber spoke as the giant black ice trident descended like a meteor.
BANG!
The trident directly slammed into the ground with a thunderous bang. Every one of them clutched their ears as they rang painfully. The moment the ice construct struck the body of the Hobgoblin, it instantly turned into an ice sculpture and shattered into dust, while huge black ice glaciers appeared within a radius of one kilometer.
Amber was anxious as she couldn’t see anything, and then a new notification popped up on her retina.
[Ding Dong]
[You have completed the Tier Advancement Quest.]
[Congratulations, you have advanced to Tier 3.]
"This..."
Amber’s eyes lit up with joy as she could feel a shackle within her body had just been lifted, and she could feel the mana around her body had become even purer.
"Victor, how was my performance?"
Amber ended her demonic transformation and glomped Victor in her arms before asking.
"Not bad, you have really gotten stronger," Victor said with a smirk.
Then Amber left his embrace and looked at Rina and Emily, who were staring at her with their mouths hanging open.
They remained silent for a long time before Rina finally said,
"Monster."

Hall Duchy
The duchies of the Kingdom of Eindrik were said to rival the royal capital in terms of extravagance, military power, riches, and population, but the current situation was vastly different from that.
The place, which was always bustling with people, was completely destroyed, and corpses littered the ground.
Rina arrived at the border of the Hall Duchy and felt uneasy and nervous when she saw that not a single guard was stationed there
