With the support of the Theurgy of the high-level Battle Priests, Jason's combat power was maximized. He was almost fighting the Ice Howler alone. The rune's adamantine sword was filled with raging Combat Energy. Flames and frost rolled back and forth, creating a dazzling magical flame in the night sky. Jason's appearance changed the situation in an instant. While Jason was fighting the Ice Howler, the young man who seemed to be the leader finally took control of the chaotic team.
Under his command, the archers were no longer as blind as before. Every shot was aimed at the Ice Howler's eyes and other vital parts. The three mages also got a chance to take a breather and replenish their depleted mana. Everything seemed to be going in a good direction. The young man who seemed to be the leader even started to clamor excitedly, "Everyone, let's work harder and kill this white-haired monster!"
"…" Lin Li, who was hiding at the side to watch the show, suddenly felt a drop of cold sweat on his forehead. "With just the few of you, you want to use your fingers to kill the Ice Howler?"
This fella really didn't know how to write the word 'death'. Do you think you can kill the Ice Howler just like that? If it weren't for Jason and the other two, all of you would have been skewered by the Ice Howler's two sharp horns. And you want to kill this white-haired monster? It's more likely to be killed …
Moreover, Jason and the other two probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long …
Since Jason and the other two made their move, almost everyone saw hope. At this moment, only Lin Li knew that all this was just a false prosperity. The turnaround brought by Jason and the other two would not last long. Although they seemed to be evenly matched now, this fragile balance would be completely broken in less than five minutes. When that time came, even 10 high-level Battle Priests would not be able to save Jason at the same time.
Of course, if everything went well, the Ice Howler would not last more than five minutes.
Lin Li glanced at the battlefield. Jason and the Ice Howler were still fighting, and Norfeller, who had turned into a cloud of black smoke, had quietly flown above the battlefield.
Amidst the bloody battlefield, a faint magical wave was quietly spreading. This magical wave was cunning and stealthily approaching the Ice Howler under everyone's noses. No one could detect its existence, and no one could capture its source. Of course, no one could discover that this cunning and stealthy magical wave was actually controlled by a seemingly idle fellow …
There were so many people present, but Jason was probably the only one who could possibly discover this trace of magical wave. After all, he was a level-15 Warrior, and his sensitivity was far beyond that of ordinary people. As long as Jason calmed down a little, he would most likely discover that someone was playing tricks in the dark.
However, how could Jason have the mood to care about other things now? Just as Lin Li had expected, the existence of a high-ranking Priest could not make up for the two-level gap between him and the Ice Howler. The Ice Howler only needed to use Eternal Frost to break that ridiculous false prosperity.
The difference in physical strength could be made up for with Rotiah's theurgy, but the Ice Howler's innate magic was not something that any theurgy could contend against. With a roar from the Ice Howler, a bone-piercing chill spread. Then, Jason knew that the situation was not good. He could clearly feel that the surrounding temperature had suddenly dropped, and a thick layer of ice was spreading rapidly beneath his feet. At a glance, it looked like a crystal-clear ice flower was blooming …
Everything happened too fast, so fast that no one could react at all. Almost at the same time when Jason felt the chill spreading, the layer of ice on the ground had already spread to his feet. Then, he only felt a chill on his feet. By the time Jason reacted, it was already too late. The pure white ice and snow spread rapidly and instantly covered Jason's entire body …
Jason could only watch as the Ice Howler waved its sharp claws.
Then, there was a muffled "bam" …
At that moment, Jason thought that all the bones in his body had been broken. The strength of the Ice Howler's claws had completely exceeded the limits of what a human could withstand. Think about it, the full-force attack of a 10-meter-tall behemoth would probably be pierced through even a steel wall, what more a human's body?
After a muffled sound, Jason was seen flying high like a kite with a broken string, and then fell down heavily …
Large mouthfuls of blood gushed out, and the forest was instantly dyed red. Jason lay limp on the ground, his face pale, and his breathing weak. He looked like an old man with one foot in the grave. On his body, a blood-red Holy Light was flickering violently. That was the light of the Blessing of Sacrifice, a theurgy unique to high-level Battle Priests. At the cost of harming oneself, one could exchange for the safety of the person being blessed. Unless one's soul and spirit were destroyed, one could still survive under the Blessing of Sacrifice no matter how severe one's injury was …
In fact, it was the Blessing of Sacrifice that saved Jason. If Rotiya had not reacted quickly and cast the Blessing of Sacrifice at the moment when the Ice Howler's claws were about to fall, even if there were a few more Jasons, they would have been slapped back to their grandmother's house.
However, the Blessing of Sacrifice was only a level-15 theurgy, after all. Saving Jason's life was the limit, and it was impossible for him to recover his combat power in a short period of time. The only thing Rotiya could do now was to support her injured body and chant the prayers of the Holy Light Spell, using the slightly dim Holy Light to heal Jason, who was covered in wounds.
In a short while, the situation on the battlefield changed drastically. The Adventurers who had just seen hope fell into despair again. The only person who could fight against the Ice Howler, Jason, had lost his combat power, and they had no choice but to face the terrifying white-furred monster directly.
"To hell with you …" The young leader was stunned. He looked at Jason, who was lying motionless on the ground, and then at the Ice Howler that was approaching him step by step. He could not help but curse.
At this time, he really wanted to die. Damn it, wasn't everything fine just now? How did it end up like this in the blink of an eye?
Unfortunately, no one could answer him …
Because at this time, the Ice Howler had let out a second roar.
Another Eternal Frost fell on the crowd. To the panicking Adventurers, the snow was like the knell of the Grim Reaper. Cries for help and screams rose and fell, and the team that had just calmed down was in a mess again. Everyone was scrambling to escape, afraid of being touched by the terrifying snow …
However, how could they avoid the innate magic of a level-17 magical beast? The sparkling and translucent ice flowers blossomed like layers of waves, instantly engulfing a range of dozens of meters. In that instant, almost all the Adventurers fell into a world of ice and snow. They struggled and screamed, but could only watch helplessly as ice and snow covered their bodies …
"It's over …" At this moment, almost all the Adventurers had the same thought in their minds.
Jason, who had been saved by the Holy Light Spell, had just opened his eyes when he saw this despairing scene. "It's over …" There was a buzzing sound in his head.
As one of the most outstanding Adventurers in Doland, Jason naturally knew that the most powerful innate magic of the Ice Howler was not the Eternal Frost, but the Frost Shock that had unparalleled destructive power. The Ice Howler was born with an innate talent in ice magic, and the legendary Frost Shock was even scarier than the Thousand Miles of Ice. Especially against a group of frozen enemies, the power of the Frost Shock was close to the Legendary-level. Once it was used, none of the Adventurers above level-14 would survive …
Hearing the roar of the Ice Howler from afar, Jason closed his eyes in despair, because he could already feel the surging wave of ice magic in the air. Jason knew that it was a sign that the Frost Shock was about to be used …
Time seemed to have become extremely long. One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds. Gradually, Jason felt that something was wrong. The expected explosion did not come as expected. Instead, the cries for help and screams of the adventurers were still lingering in his ears.
"That's weird …" Jason looked up in confusion.
Then, he saw a black figure appear silently behind the Ice Howler like a ghost. There was no strong magical wave or sharp weapon, only a pair of hands with long nails. This black figure rushed up silently, and used its long nails to cause blood to splatter on the Ice Howler …
"My God, how is this possible!" Jason could not believe what he was seeing. This black figure actually tore through the tough skin of the Ice Howler with just physical strength. This, this, this … This was unbelievable. Jason had just fought with the Ice Howler, so he naturally knew better than anyone else how perverted the skin of this white-furred monster was. Even with his sharp rune adamantine sword, he had to channel all his Combat Energy to barely cause any damage to the Ice Howler. He could not believe that there was someone in this world who could harm the Ice Howler with just physical strength without any weapons.
Wait a minute …
Before Jason could close his mouth, the expression on his face suddenly froze because he suddenly realized that the black figure seemed a little familiar …
