Chapter 1548: Chapter 1548: Death of the Andaville Evil Spirit
The dark power instantly enveloped He Ao, and he immediately raised the ice sword in his hand to block the gray radiance coming straight at him.
In that instant, a white glow suddenly appeared in front of He Ao, blocking the rushing gray brilliance. As it landed before He Ao, it dissipated most of its power, deflecting away.
But just this weak deflection of power split the entire mountain beneath He Ao and tore the space apart, with black cracks spreading all around.
He Ao raised his head, surrounded by the storms of divine power.
He looked toward Andaville’s direction, seeing only the pervasive snowstorm and chaotic storms.
And at that moment, he suddenly realized something and turned his head back.
Behind him, the furious blizzard and storms, disturbed by divine power, were swirling madly.
The fierce divine power swept around, limiting the field of view to just a few dozens of centimeters, whether it’s the view of the meat eyes or the view of mysticism.
Kela was nowhere to be seen.
Without hesitation, he gripped the ice sword and charged into the storm behind him. Follow current novᴇls on nοvelfire.net
In the hazy blizzard, Kela lifted her head, looking at the storm that obscured sight and perception around her.
She gently raised her hand, and a dense array of ice crystals suddenly formed in front of her, linking into a barrier.
But just a moment later, an invisible force swept across the sky, shattering the ice crystals in front of her into countless dispersed water mist.
And at this moment, the space in front of her suddenly shrank.
The time and space seemed to reverse at this moment, and though Kela stood on the ground, she felt herself naturally ‘flying’ up, and began ‘falling’ towards the sky.
As she ‘fell’, the gathered ice crystals converged into sharp ice spikes, surging at her from all directions.
She gazed at these ice spikes, the cold wind sweeping across the sky, causing the spikes to shatter thunderously as they neared her, scattering into ice crystals.
An ephemeral wind seemed to rise around, lifting and blowing these ice crystals towards Kela.
The ice crystals naturally parted in front of Kela, splitting and bypassing her from both sides.
The feeling of ‘falling’ upwards vanished instantly, and the surrounding space seemed to lose its sense of up and down, with dense storms in all directions, the ground invisible below, and the sky unseen above.
At that moment, intricate spatial cracks abruptly appeared between heaven and earth, gathering around Kela, attempting to swallow her body.
But before they could tear open, they were frozen by the intense cold, unable to change further.
The icy power quickly dissipated in Kela’s field of view, yet was stabilized by new forces.
And as these spaces were frozen, Kela also lifted her head, her gaze sweeping over the pervasive storms.
The drifting snowflakes trembled, as if conveying something.
At that moment, within the dense storm, a strand of pure white ice leaf suddenly unfolded, rapidly growing into a slender ice tree.
Kela watched this ice tree, her gaze pausing.
In an instant, the ice tree suddenly disintegrated, scattering into countless fine ice crystals in the sky.
The wind blew these ice crystals apart.
Meanwhile, Kela suddenly sensed her limbs seemingly immersed in an unfolding space, this space trembling, seemingly about to tear her apart.
She immediately froze the surrounding space, but before she could act further, the drifting ice crystals fell along the wind, landing on her snow-white skin.
As she intended to remove these ice crystals, she realized they rooted and sprouted like seeds the moment they touched her skin, embedding into it, and started madly absorbing her life force, seizing her authority.
The ice crystals on her body increased rapidly, and the ice trees sprouted more, with her life force starting to drain quickly.
Dense ice leaves blossomed on these ice trees, almost covering Kela’s entire body, as if she herself had turned into a cold ice tree.
At this moment, within the dense blizzard, the unfolding space quickly converged, and a figure emerged through the storm, appearing in front of Kela.
This figure had a slight smile at its mouth, gazing at the ice leaves covering Kela’s body.
She had deliberately concealed part of her power just for this moment.
To tear open the sky, and use that guy behind the scenes to keep that little monster occupied, creating a ‘private’ space for her and Kela.
That little monster was at its wits’ end too; as long as she regains the authority, she could secure the final victory.
She smiled slightly and opened her mouth to say something, but heard a soft sound.
An ice mountain tea flower floated out from the gaps between the ice leaves and swiftly appeared before her.
Without hesitation, she was about to expand the space to retreat, but at that moment, the entire world’s storm and snow seemed to come to a standstill.
Even the sound of the wind halted at this moment.
She wanted to continue moving, but found her body momentarily ‘frozen’.
She watched as the ice mountain tea flower floated before her and quickly transformed into a frail girl clad in white dress.
A slender ice sword formed instantly in front of the girl, and without hesitation, pierced through Andaville’s body with one thrust.
Intense ice power swept across Andaville’s body in an instant.
Andaville looked in shock at the girl in front of her.
The grey gemstone’s prophecy was also influenced by Kela’s higher power, failing to predict this outcome; she could understand that.
She wasn’t surprised either that Kela had just hidden part of her power.
Desperation in a severe state could also make sense.
But this person endured severe injuries without unleashing them, just for such a close-combat ambush opportunity—doesn’t that seem off?
No, aren’t you a mage?! What are you doing practicing melee combat?!!!
However, the sudden attack indeed far exceeded her expectations and inflicted unexpectedly severe damage on her.
She gritted her teeth and expanded the space, pulling her body off Kela’s sword.
Meanwhile, the surrounding space began to shake violently, and the dark power tore open the inverted space-time, causing both figures to fall simultaneously.
The howling storm quieted down a bit at that moment.
He Ao tore through the chaotic space and entered a slightly calmer area of the storm, looking up to see two identical young girls before him.
They both wore similar ponytails, had the same ice-blue pupils, and both wore long white dresses.
Their skin was also unnaturally pale, their figures frail.
The girl on the right watched as He Ao approached, looked up, and softly said, “He Ao… help me…”
While the girl on the left just quietly gazed at He Ao, her ice-blue eyes, like a lake, reflecting He Ao’s appearance.
The girl on the right, upon witnessing this scene, had her ice-blue eyes instantly turn white, then without hesitation, turned and dashed into the storm.
But He Ao’s movements were quicker, reaching her just as she was about to step into the storm.
Seeing this, she was slightly stunned, seemingly puzzled by why her ‘foresight’ didn’t take effect.
Then she saw the gray gem in her palm, now covered in spreading ice.
Was it from when Kela pierced her just now!?
She struggled to activate the gem in her hand, unfolding space-time before He Ao, and shouted, “Kid, you’ve seen the scene in the sky, right? That’s your world, right? I can tell you, those secret connections are tied to the power of wind and snow, and that little girl is the consciousness and vessel of that power.”
She laughed loudly, seemingly speaking to He Ao, and perhaps also to the young girl not far behind, “Killing me is useless. If you want to save your world, you have to kill her.”
Her words hadn’t fully left her mouth when she felt the peace settle upon the surrounding space-time, and the space-time she opened was frozen.
He Ao’s power wasn’t particularly aimed at her ability to unfold space-time, but the power of ice and snow could significantly affect it.
Kela had sealed the surrounding space-time.
Her face darkened, unable to stop herself from cursing, “Fool! Once I die, it’ll be your turn!!!”
Before her words were fully spoken, a sharp ice sword pierced through her body.
An orange-gray radiance surged into her body in an instant, tearing apart her husk.
The Eye of Truth, entwined with black lines, lowered its gaze slowly from the sky, and the purple luminescence intertwined with orange-gray light wrapped in black lines, tearing apart her already fragmented soul with immense power.
Her body went rigid in place, tiny ice crystals instantly spreading from her surroundings, creeping over her body and freezing her solid, transforming her into a strong ice sculpture.
A crisp sound echoed in the void, like the last drop of water falling into the ocean.
The fierce storm vanished in an instant, leaving only the faint remnants of divine power still fluctuating.
The disturbance above the firmament briefly intensified at that moment, but was quickly blocked and concealed, failing to break through the boundary and descend upon this space-time.
Thick clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, bright light once again shining upon the white earth.
He Ao looked at the figure now turned into an ice sculpture, falling into a brief silence.
“She always wore someone else’s face.”
Kela stood in front of He Ao, gazing at the face identical to hers, speaking softly.
“Perhaps,” He Ao extended his hand, taking the gray gem frozen in the ice sculpture’s hand, “she long forgot what she herself looked like.”
Ultimately, she was just a resentful spirit, having survived countless ages, with only a fragment of consciousness remaining.
She was once Andaville, who challenged the divine being, and yet she wasn’t.
As He Ao grasped the gray gem, a strong hunger surged from deep within his body, stirring his soul.
Urging him to immediately swallow this thing.
But he ignored the urge, pressing the gem firmly instead, then looking to Kela.
She had no intention of ‘sharing’ the spoils with He Ao, as she had already retrieved what she needed—the Authority of Wind and Snow.
Moreover, He Ao had saved her life.
He Ao was unceremonious, putting the gray gem directly into his pocket.
And, in that instant, a formless shadow slowly seeped out from the back of Andaville’s ice sculpture, tearing through the void, ready to merge into the snow.
An ice blade blocked the shadow’s path.
The surrounding space froze simultaneously.
Kela gently lifted her hand, the surrounding snowflakes quivering as a woman in white robes, frozen in ice, gradually surfaced from beneath the heavy snow, her mouth slightly agape, still bearing a surprised expression.
Rock City’s storm priest?
He Ao glanced at the white robe of the woman, recognizing her identity.
And at this moment, the shadow emerging from Andaville’s body was heading toward this frozen woman.
Clearly, it was Andaville’s ‘back-up move’, ready to possess this storm priestess if necessary.
Kela glanced at the frozen woman, gently lifted her hand, and a remnant shadow floated from the woman’s form, merging with the shadow frozen mid-air, forming an ice pearl under the encasement of cold, which fell into He Ao’s hand.
This was the remnant power of Andaville.
In truth, her fragmented resentful spirit had long since been utterly destroyed under He Ao’s ice sword. Even successful possession would merely have resulted in a creature only capable of ‘revival’.
He Ao looked at the pearl and, unceremoniously, placed it into his pocket.
With the final shadow’s departure from the ice sculpture, the ice with no support crumbled heavily.
Then, He Ao lifted his gaze to the sky.
With Kela fully gaining the Authority of Wind and Snow, the dense clouds in the sky were rapidly dispersing, the first ‘fishing line’ core mysticism event the mastermind divine being used to link to the main world had been resolved.
The first ‘fishing line’ had been severed.
Yet, the blue planet in the sky continued to rapidly approach this world.
He Ao shifted his gaze toward Kela, within the field of view of the Eye of Truth entwined with the power of the Historical Contract.
Dense mystical connections, at this moment, linked to this space of ice and snow, and connected to Kela.
