Chapter 190: Ch-190: Ice vs Lightning
" Haha, Miss Lilith is finally getting to fight. Miss Lilith is going to tear the army apart!" Lilith’s excited voice rang out as she emerged from the shadows.
’ She has become larger.’ Victor thought as he raised an eyebrow while looking at Lilith’s massive figure, which resembled a giant cat made of darkness.
Victor looked at the ice army in front of them and clicked his tongue as he muttered, " My Soldiers of Darkness are far too few. I should at least increase their number to a few thousand first."
Victor then looked at the Brightflame army. There were still at least a few hundred thousand soldiers left, who were getting slaughtered by his army while he harvested the Soul Fragments and drops.
He decided to speed up the massacre and raised his hand as the temperature around him increased and the ice started to melt.
" Yang-Yin Phoenix."
Scree!
Victor murmured as a bird made of white-blue flames emerged from his palms and shot toward the army.
" Another Bloodline..." the undead leader’s lips twitched when he saw this.
The Yang-Yin Phoenix split into two phoenixes, and the bird made of blue flames charged toward the army and spat out a massive blue fireball.
Whoosh!
" Ahhhh!" The soldiers of the Brightflame Duchy who were caught in the attack let out agonizing shrieks as they felt unimaginable pain from being burned alive.
The others who saw this started cursing.
" Damn, what kind of flames are these? They won’t go out!"
" Everyone, hurry and fall back! It’s spreading!"
" Ah, another fireball!"
" Let’s retreat! The Duke has already been defeated!"
The soldiers of the Brightflame Duchy started to retreat, but the bird blocked their path and kept burning them alive.
On the other hand, the Silvernum soldiers recognized the blue flaming bird and burst into cheers.
" Haha, have a taste of Lord Victor’s attack!"
" He is unbelievable! Even while fighting a Tier 4 enemy, and an undead at that, he still has enough mana to spare to help us!"
Hilbert, who was watching from the distance, was also speechless seeing this and cried inwardly, ’Heavens, what kind of freak is he... just how many Bloodlines does he have?’
Victor did not pay attention to everyone’s chatter and looked at the notifications appearing on his retina.
[100% Drop Rate has been triggered.]
[You have received 100 Soul Fragments.]
[You have received 50 Soul Fragments.]
[You have received...]
Notifications kept flashing on his retina until all the soldiers of the Brightflame Duchy were killed.
Then, after he had accumulated enough Souls, he poured them into upgrading his army size to 1000.

" Charge!"
" Attack!"
Both Victor and the undead gave the command, and the Darkness Army and the Ice Army started trading blows with each other.
Bang! Bang!
Boom! Boom!
Explosions erupted across the battlefield as his Darkness Army was getting overwhelmed by the sheer size of the opposing army. If not for him regenerating his army after they were destroyed and Lilith commanding them, they would have already been wiped out.
Victor’s eyes narrowed when he saw the undead leader did not dodge the attack from the wolf.
Bang!
The claw of the Swift Strike Darkness Wolf struck the head of the undead, which shattered into ice crystals. But to his surprise, the undead leader did not die as he expected. Instead, an ice head regenerated almost instantly.
’Woah, doesn’t this appear to be similar to my One with Lightning skill?’ Victor’s eyes widened in surprise as he realized this and looked at the undead leader.
" Haha, looks like your army is inferior to my own," the undead cackled.
" Is that so? How about I level the playing field?" Victor said with a smirk.
Whoosh!
Scree!
The blue fire phoenix appeared on the battlefield and launched a massive wave of blue flames toward the Ice Army, incinerating a huge chunk of it.
" What an annoying human!" The undead gritted his teeth as he looked at the blue flaming bird causing heavy casualties in his army, along with the large shadow cat.
He raised his hand, and an ice trident formed. He was about to hurl it toward the large cat when all of a sudden his instincts screamed danger. He snapped his head upward and saw Victor pointing his sword down at where he was standing.
" Ice Trident!"
Without hesitation, he abandoned his former target and threw it toward Victor.
Victor’s eyes narrowed. His sword was crackling with black lightning and coated with blue flames as he said,
" Moonlight Descend."
A phantom moon appeared behind him as he descended like a meteor toward the undead.
Crack!
The Ice Trident shattered instantly, and the undead’s pupils constricted as he hurriedly created an ice sword.
Bang!
" Urgh!" The undead coughed out a mouthful of blood as he was hurled backward, but he did not get any time to catch his breath as Victor turned into lightning and charged toward him.
" If you want to play, I will play!" The undead sprouted ice wings and also charged toward Victor with his ice sword.
Bang! Bang!
Shockwaves erupted as they exchanged kicks, punches, and sword strikes.
" Damn, I can’t follow their movements. How can they... or at least that guy... be so fast?" Hilbert exclaimed as he strained his eyes to follow the battle, but the only things he could see were shockwaves and streaks of lightning and ice clashing with each other.
He could not believe his eyes. A Tier 1 was contending against a Peak Tier 4. Even with Bloodlines and external equipment, it was still absurd.
" Fuck, what the hell is wrong with you, human? Why did you become stronger?" the undead asked as he looked at the bloodied Victor with disbelief. He could feel Victor’s strength had suddenly increased.
" Guess," Victor smirked. Of course, it was the Blood Berserker Bloodline, and all his stats had received a boost.
" Hmm..." Just as the undead was about to move, his eyes widened in shock when he saw multiple black tendrils wrap around him. Then, all of a sudden, all the wolves emerged from the ground and charged toward him.
The undead’s expression turned ugly when he saw his army had been wiped out and cursed, " I ended up in the same trap as that Duke... No, I need to escape!"
He had noticed how Duke Brightflame had been ambushed in a similar situation and defeated. He started struggling, but he could not move as he was heavily injured. He knew that if he couldn’t escape, then he would be completely doomed.
Rumble!
He looked up, and his pupils constricted.
" Noooo..."
Above him was a gigantic black lightning axe wrapped in blue flames. Feeling the overwhelming power behind it, he broke out in a cold sweat.
" If that hits, I am done for," the undead muttered and then shouted as he started struggling violently. " Let me go, you insects!"
Victor moved a distance away, and Lilith also vanished into the shadows.
" Descend!"
" Oh no... Ice Wall!" Amber, who was familiar with the attack, hurriedly erected a huge wall of ice.
A gigantic wall of ice stretched for approximately ten kilometers and rose more than three thousand meters into the sky.
" This is dangerous... Barriers of Light!" Duke Hilbert also broke out in a cold sweat as he erected multiple barriers of light like Amber.
Under their horrified gazes, the giant axe descended from the sky.
" NOOOOO!" the undead leader’s scream echoed across the battlefield.
BOOOOOM!!! BOOOOOM!!! BOOOOM!!!
A gigantic mushroom cloud, with a pillar of blue flames ascending into the sky alongside black lightning, erupted into existence, accompanied by a devastating shockwave.
The fierce shockwaves continued to strike the walls of ice and light with tremendous force as they spread outward in a circular pattern, with the point of impact as the center.
Behind the enormous walls of ice, the humans watched with wide, fear-filled eyes as they scrambled to their feet, desperately trying to get as far away as possible from the blazing hell before them. They had no confidence that the walls of ice and light would hold.
Crack... Crack... Crack...!
The cracks that already covered the entire walls rapidly widened. A moment later, the walls of ice and light that had protected the humans from being wiped out by the shockwave finally reached their limit.
BANG!!!!
With a deafening crash, the gigantic walls of ice and light collapsed.
" Ahhhhh!"
Everyone screamed as many were flung away by the shockwave.
"... No matter how many times I see it, this attack is truly terrifying." Amber said in a low, weary voice. She struggled to stand on her own as she slowly continued, " Such power... It’s hard to believe that a human can unleash such destructive force, even if he is a Warlock."
Emily was as pale as a sheet. The maid had fallen onto her butt while sweating bullets, staring into the distance.
Rina and Hilbert said nothing. Both father and daughter wore pale expressions as they looked into the distance. Unlike ordinary humans, they were able to see a little of what had happened, and even though they both knew Victor was undoubtedly the cause, it was still difficult for them to accept.
" That... That... What was that?" Hilbert swallowed a mouthful of saliva and could not help but mutter in horror.
" That’s my darling’s attack. He is powerful, isn’t he?" Even though Amber was a little pale, she could not help but praise him proudly.
Hilbert said nothing. He looked at Victor in the sky in amazement, and his respect for him only continued to grow. At the same time, when he looked at his daughter standing nearby, Hilbert could not help but smile bitterly; his daughter Rina was watching Victor with lovestruck eyes.
’ Tsk, looks like my daughter has been stolen by a big bad wolf.’ Hilbert thought with a groan and could not help but entertain certain ideas, which he decided to discuss with Victor later
