Chapter 21: The Magician and the Warrior
update icon Updated at 2025/8/1 6:10:12

Although it's a battle, I feel a lot of pressure fighting against a level 31 warrior at level 27.

The opponent is a warrior. If the warrior's occupation in this world isn't much different from what I imagine, the warrior's combat DPS relies on speed.

They strike at the fastest speed possible, aiming for a one-hit kill. Therefore, it would be extremely dangerous to let them get close!

Thinking this way, I had the Ice Wolf jump onto the shelf. At least standing on the shelf, my field of view became wider. After all, the bookshelves in the library are quite obstructive.

"Dash!"

Sure enough, the opponent flashed and their speed suddenly increased several times. They started moving quickly around the bookshelf, seemingly looking for my weakness to attack!

This won't end well!

Tundra Devourer!

The entire library floor immediately turned into an icy chamber, and the opponent paused noticeably. The frozen mark appeared on their body.

However, their speed increased a lot compared to before they used their skill. It seems...

Just then, the opponent took a sudden step and their body turned into phantoms. They appeared in front of me and charged straight at me!

Moreover, before I even had time to react, the opponent had already jumped in front of me!

So fast! This guy's speed is even faster than all the speed-enhancing skills I have combined!

Before I could even raise my sword, the opponent had already made their move. The blade flashed, and I saw my blood and the shards of my ice armor slowly flying.

The splattering blood and ice shards, like a painful fireworks display, scattered in the air!

And this was the attack that the Ice Wolf endured while quickly retreating. If it were a direct hit, it would definitely sever my left hand!

But in that instant, the sheath on the opponent's left hand pierced the belly of the Ice Wolf. Then, in the next moment, the Ice Wolf let out a cry and transformed into light, returning to the summoning magic circle!

What kind of move is this?

Ice Totem!

Staying in one place is too dangerous. I immediately used Ice Totem to push myself aside, and at the same time, countless ice arrows shot towards Bai Yueguang.

But the opponent quickly jumped and dodged! In mid-air, they sliced through the pursuing ice arrows and dove towards me!

Frost Ray!

A blue beam of light shot towards the opponent's body in mid-air. Even if they could cut through the ice arrows, they shouldn't be able to block the Frost Ray directly!

But...

The next second, I realized I was wrong again. The opponent actually blocked the Frost Ray with their sheath. Just as the sheath was about to be frozen into ice, they used it as leverage, turning their body and dodging the Frost Ray!

And at the same time! The opponent's figure flashed into countless afterimages, then in an instant, they appeared in front of me again!

Damn...

Is there no way out?

"Grand Arcane·Ice Cellar of the Hell's Kitchen."

In an instant, Bai Yueguang's body, about to strike me, stopped in mid-air. Not only him, but the space around the two of us was directly sealed off.

"What kind of magic is this?"

"A magic highly effective against mages of any element but ice."

I smiled and said. Just as I finished speaking, the space below us suddenly warped, and then, a huge ice freezer appeared beneath us.

[Grand Arcane·Ice Cellar of the Hell's Kitchen], a mixed magic of ice, dark, and spatial elements that summoned the infamous ice cellar of the Hell's Kitchen into the battle space. It doesn't consume magic, but all the combatants, including the summoner, will also be simultaneously attacked by the magic.

Depending on the number of people, the size of the summoned ice cellar will also change. As for now, it's just a three-meter tall large freezer.

We, who couldn't move, fell directly into the freezer, and then the freezer slammed shut with a bang!

"Next is the game world."

As I said that, I picked up a nearby ice pillar and inserted it into my thigh!

I had less than half of my HP left after Bai Yueguang's slash, and with this, my HP suddenly dropped even further.

Within the realm of magic, not only can you harm yourself, but you can also effectively hurt your teammates!

The reason for attacking yourself is... the damage you receive from freezing will be doubled and reflected back as dark corrosive magic onto your opponent!

And we are separated by a layer of enchantment, so we cannot directly attack each other!

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!!!"

In an instant, Bai Yueguang let out a scream, and black mist spewed out from his body!

This is only natural. I am skilled in ice magic, so attacking myself with an ice pillar will naturally have a strong effect. However, my immunity to ice is also high, and with only a broken ice armor on me, I won't be brought down by my own attacks.

But... the calculated feedback is not based on the attacks I received, but on the attacks I used on myself. So, in a way, my previous attack could be considered as releasing the power of an [Ice Flower] directly?

"But... d*mn it! You... this kind of attack is clearly against the rules!!!"

Bai Yueguang yelled while getting up.

It seems that this attack has indeed dealt him some serious damage. His HP has already dropped by half and is still slowly decreasing!

"This isn't my fault. I have no choice. I can't face an enemy who attacks so quickly head-on. Combined with my unfamiliarity with your skills, your limits, and your technical abilities, I can only use some advantages in my skills to fight you."

"But didn't I give you a sword?!"

"Who said that just because I got it, I have to use it? I don't even have any skills for this type of weapon. You still have the nerve to make me fight one-on-one? Seriously."

"You... alright! Take this!!!"

After saying that, he actually assumed a sword-drawing posture!

Hey hey hey! This game is about killing the other person before getting killed yourself! What are you doing?!

But he has completely entered his state!

I hurriedly prepared to grab the nearby ice pillar for a final blow, but he suddenly lifted his head and his eyes emitted a red light like a ghost!

Damn it! What kind of ultimate move is this!

"Secret ultimate skill - Hysteria - Breaking the Void!"

At the moment he shouted those words, I inserted the ice pillar into his chest.

However, the terrifying sword shadows already passed by me, and then, the most terrifying thing happened...

The ice vault... was directly cut in half!!!!

This guy... is he a monster!!!!!
