Natalya’s expression constantly changed. The sea of icicles that formed above Tanya Frostblight and pointed at her was as if it trapped her very soul into an icy corner.
Not only did the Ice Laws she felt from Tanya Frostblight were greater than her own, but the one-step she took behind as a sign of being intimidated also severely dampened her confidence in herself.
However, Natalya forced a smile, ‘So this is what a top disciple is… I was a fool to think that I could compare to them.’
Through self-realization, Natalya regained her a little bit of confidence back, but looking at the scale of the attack, she knew that she was almost finished. Even with her Forsaken Yin Change Technique, she used before on her silvery sword to catch Tanya Frostblight off-guard and injure; she felt that the chances of using this winning this battle were null.
The Yin-Attributed Cultivation Manual, which Davis gave her, is known as the Forsaken Yin Lotus Manual. She had trained in it and have adapted her meridians to the circulation method, but the powers and techniques she could use were very less since the manual itself is of a higher grade. In the lower stages, the techniques were less, and she had only comprehended this Forsaken Yin Change, where she was able to alter the flow of anything related to yin to a certain level.
This technique made her capable of parrying that blow from the sword but gazing at the unending sea of icicles; her mind spun for an effective counter!
“With this, I have used my full power to form this technique, Glacier Sea of Icicle Shards, as a sign of respect for you to be able to wound me despite being three levels lower… Although this technique used up twenty percent of my essence energy, I still have a greater amount of energy left.”
“On the other hand, you had to use a greater amount of essence energy to defend against my casual attacks. I’m sure that you have used up more than fifty percent of your essence energy by this point.”
“So, if you want to surrender, this is your last chance…” Tanya Frostblight spoke with absolute confidence.
Her eyes did not have any killing intent. Instead, her appearance was as if she had enough playing upon being injured.
In the airspace, Davis looked severely uncomfortable while looking at the sea of icicles that even reached their height, half a kilometer towards the skies. He could tell that this attack had a slight chance of killing Natalya, but looking at Natalya still stand and have no signs of giving up, he turned hesitant.
Right now, his mind was working rapidly to arrive at a conclusion, but it just turned increasingly chaotic instead, feeling incredibly worried in his heart. Just when his fingers twitched, a hand reached out to grasp his wrist.
Davis became startled before he turned his head to look at Evelynn.
Evelynn’s green hair freely flowed with the breeze, and Davis became momentarily taken aback by her countenance.
“It’s fine…”
Davis’s mouth went slightly agape, wanting to say something.
“I’m not bragging, but I’ve spent more time with Natalya than the time you spent with her.” Evelynn shook her head, “She looks clumsy like me, but she’s braver and smarter than me, and I hate to say this, but if I didn’t have the aid of the blood essence and was at the same cultivation base as her, I’d lose in a frontal battle.”
Davis blinked twice before completely understanding her words. It looks like he missed an episode that occurred between them.
Perhaps they fought once while Evelynn suppressed her cultivation base, and she almost lost?
Looks like he had to find out, but nevertheless, his soul force eerily and invisibly snuck out of his fingers and approached Natalya in the case that anything untoward were to happen to her, he would quickly protect her.
In any case, she would just be disqualified, and compared to her life; he felt that becoming disqualified was nothing.
Natalya raised her silvery sword as her expression became serious. Her arms trembled as an enormous amount of silvery aura poured into the sword, making it give off a strange screech, and at the same time, a vague blue hue also encroached a part of the blade before it suddenly became silent.
“I appreciate the warning, but if I gave up right now…”
‘I don’t deserve to be by his side.’
Natalya didn’t say the last part of her sentence as she was afraid that Davis would stop the battle.
“Very well… Then struggle as much as you want!” Tanya Frostblight dropped her snow-white hand towards Natalya!
It was as if she gave a command for thousands of soldiers clad in snowy armor to charge forwards! Instantly, the sea of hundred thousand icicles shot towards Natalya in a frenzy!
Natalya’s modest bosoms heaved considerably before she released a breath from her lips, “Haa!!”
She swung her sword vertically in the midst of the attack, and momentarily all the icicles that were in the front were blasted away by sheer force, shattering into millions of shards. The icicles by the side were blasted off to the side as they hit the battle platform, but they likewise failed to leave a scratch on the martial platform.
The icicles that followed suit from behind repeatedly shattered like stones hitting a durable wall when they got towards the force of the silvery sword that traveled towards Tanya Frostblight.
Tanya Frostblight seemed to be unfazed, and just as she expected, the force of Natalya’s sword that contained a tremendous amount of battle aura became weak around a quarter of the distance before completely losing its might halfway.
‘Heh, I won…’
The icicles flew past after the physical force of the sword ended right there. However, they all suddenly became slow as if they were traveling through a quagmire.
Tanya Frostblight’s eyes narrowed into two tiny slits as she saw that in the wake of the force of the sword’s disappearance, there appeared a strange icy atmosphere that engulfed the pathway to Natalya.
All the icicles that tried to reach to Natalya to make her into a skewered silhouette became slow and heavy before they got covered in a new layer of icy blue. Then as if Tanya Frostblight’s technique lost its power, the thousands of icicles started to plunge towards the ground before they hit the ground and burst apart into countless shards.
‘W-What!? What happened?’ Tanya Frostblight became confused and horrified.
She was horrified to find that she lost control of this technique when the icicles entered the strange atmosphere covered in front of Natalya.
Most of the people who were present didn’t understand what had happened. This included Davis and Princess Isabella.
However, there was a single person who noticed this phenomenon and comprehended what it exactly is!
‘This… This is a fusion between Ice Laws and Yin Laws!?’ Elder Enye’s wise eyes almost bulged out of her sockets.
The strange icy atmosphere weakened the icicles and further covered it in Natalya’s ice essence energy, and although this process of the strange technique happened extremely quick, she was still able to detect it with her eyesight!
