Chapter 189: Ch-189: Ice vs Darkness
"What, another ice bloodline user?" Amber cried out as she gazed into the distance where Victor had taken the undead leader. She was surprised by the sudden blizzard, and even more surprising was the fact that an undead possessed an ice-related bloodline similar to hers.
’If I am not wrong, he should have a similar ability to turn into ice like Victor can turn into lightning,’ Amber thought.
She then turned her eyes back toward Duke Brightflame, who was preparing another attack.
"Giant Magma Fist!"
Duke Brightflame shouted as large amounts of magma covered his fist. The size of his fist reached nearly thirty meters in both width and height before it shot toward Amber.
"Primordial Ice Manipulation — Giant Ice Fist!"
Amber gave a wicked grin and created a fist identical to the Duke’s, but made of black ice, and launched it toward the incoming attack.
While Amber and Duke Brightflame fought against each other with great intensity, on the other battlefield, the undead leader and Victor stood opposite each other, glaring coldly at one another.
However, Victor could see the tension and suppressed fear in the undead’s eyes.
’Damn, this is just a trash Tier 1. How can I, a noble undead, be afraid of such an insect?’
The undead leader cursed inwardly.
Seeing this, Victor smiled and mockingly said,
"I can tell you are afraid. Why don’t you just surrender? If you do, maybe I can turn you into my slave."
Hearing Victor’s words, the undead’s face, made of rotting flesh, visibly darkened.
"Let me show you my true form, ignorant human," he said with a snort.
The undead gave a malicious smile, and Victor raised an eyebrow as large amounts of snow and ice converged toward the undead and were absorbed into his body.
Soon, the rotting skin started to be replaced by healthy blue skin that emitted thick white mist. Two earrings made of ice appeared on his ears, and a blue crown of ice materialized above his brows.
Victor used his pupil technique and saw that the race had changed.
---
[Ice Ruler Undead]
[Level: 499]
[Tier: 4]
[Bloodline: Ice Ruler Undead Bloodline]
[Description: Many undead also possess special warlock bloodlines such as fire, wind, ice, etc. Being influenced by such a bloodline changes the race and causes a mutation among the undead. The Ice Ruler Undead Bloodline grants the ability to create and manipulate ice.]

"Tsk, true form indeed."
Victor clicked his tongue and grimaced when he saw that the undead was only two levels shy of reaching Tier 5.
"Have a greeting."
The undead said as he raised his hand.
Victor’s pupils constricted when he saw a huge shadow cover the ground.
He looked up and broke into a cold sweat when he saw a meteor made of ice descending from the sky at an extremely fast speed.
Whoosh!
"Jörmungandr Serpent Knight Armor!"
Victor hurriedly shouted, and a white knight armor appeared around his body.
The undead saw this, and his eyes were filled with contempt, thinking he had scared Victor into hiding behind the armor. However, he did not think there was anything special about the armor that could stand against his warlock bloodline.
Victor’s expression turned cold as he raised his hands and muttered,
"Multi Purgatory Lightning Serpents."
Rumble!
Multiple black lightning serpents shot out from his palms and flew toward the ice meteor.
Bang!
As soon as the serpents collided with the giant meteor, it caused the meteor to explode. However, instead of vanishing, it transformed into hundreds of ice spears that continued descending toward Victor.
"Fuck!"
Victor cursed as his pupils constricted to the size of needles.
He had no time to dodge and hurriedly defended himself with his Jörmungandr Sword.
The moment the spears struck his armor, Victor was hurled backward, smashing into nearby buildings.
His body passed through not just one building, but at least five or six of them, with explosive echoes resounding throughout the area.
"Dear!"
Amber was startled upon seeing this and wanted to rush toward him.
"You dare get distracted in the midst of a fight?!"
Duke Brightflame roared in rage at being ignored.
His right fist transformed into a molten magma-covered fist before expanding into a gigantic mass of pure magma and surging forward like an oversized rocket.
Layers upon layers of magma scorched the ground beneath it while increasing the temperature of the surroundings by several degrees in an instant.
The air began to distort from the heat, and the pressure swept everything in its path aside.
Amber realized she could not dodge it, and the only option was to defend while taking some damage.
"Shit."
She cursed as she gathered as much ice as possible around her right fist and punched toward the incoming magma fist.
Her fist collided with the magma.
The force behind the magma fist overwhelmed her own, and the magma managed to burn her arm.
"Hot! Hot! Hot!"
"This is too much, you bastard!"
Amber screamed as she felt the searing pain.
She hurriedly used her wings to retreat backward.
"Hmph!"
When Duke Brightflame saw Amber retreating, he instantly turned his feet into volcanic blasts, giving himself an insane boost in speed while using his magma wings to pursue her.
He quickly caught up to Amber and launched another fiery attack.
This time, he clapped his hands together, gathering a large amount of magma around his fists.
"Damn, this guy is chasing me like a rabid dog."
Amber activated her ice bloodline to its maximum and formed a huge ice shield on the left side of her body.
Bang!
The magma slammed into the ice shield, and cracks immediately began to spread across its surface.
However, before the Duke could feel pleased, he saw a smirk appear on Amber’s face, which immediately set alarm bells ringing in his head.
" What!" Just as he was about to back away, he saw two gigantic ice dragons emerge from the ground and clamp both of his sides, along with hundreds of black ice chains wrapping around him, and saw frost appear on his body and felt his movements grow sluggish.
" Freeze," Amber said as the Duke turned into an ice sculpture.
" Phew, that was close," Amber wiped the sweat from her delicate brows and felt a few persons approaching her.
She looked and saw Rina, Emily, and a middle-aged man looking between the frozen sculpture and Amber in disbelief and muttered, " You.. actually defeated this bastard"
Hilbert could not believe his eyes; even he could not defeat Duke Brightflame this easily and felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at Amber. ’Heavens, doesn’t that mean she can also defeat me... and from what I heard both Victor and her are a couple’
Hilbert then turned to look at the other battlefield.
" Damn, I was careless," Victor muttered as he stepped out from the rubble and looked at the Undead.
The undead looked at his army, which was getting killed one by one by Victor’s army, and said, " All of you come to me"
As soon as those words fell, all the undead who were fighting the mech army stopped what they were doing, turned into black wisps, and flowed back into the body of the undead leader.
" What is he up to?" Victor raised his eyebrow seeing this and was about to attack when a violent outburst of mana originated from the undead
" World of Ice Undead"
As soon as those words left the undead’s mouth, a violent explosion of ice took place.
It was with the power released by the Ice Undead that the entire city was thrown into chaos, with the enormous ice explosion sweeping everything away, reaching even the border of the Hall Duchy and destroying most of those that did not possess much resistance, along with the structures, since the wind was far worse than any other hurricane.
The city was consumed by white clouds and violent winds.
" Holy shit, everything is freezing," Rina exclaimed in disbelief as she saw even the ground beneath her feet had turned to ice. She looked at the castle and grimaced when she saw it covered by ice and snow.
That was a blizzard much worse than before as it covered the entire Duchy.
" Come, my army," The undead shouted as he slammed his hand on the ground and the black wisps left his body and went into the ice and snow.
" Hmm," Victor’s eyes narrowed when he felt countless presences being formed within the ice and after a few seconds Victor saw the undead, who had rotting flesh, had now completely transformed into an army made up of ice.
" How do you like it? This is my Ice Undead Army, they are much more powerful," the undead said in a proud tone but his smirk faltered when he saw Victor grimacing
" Then there shall be a showdown between armies first, shall we" Victor said with a smile and shadows beneath him started to wiggle and hundreds of wolves made up of darkness emerged and stood opposite to the opposing army.
