Evan threw up a mouthful of blood as his chest caved in. His face was deathly pale with agony, but he was still filled with bewilderment and horror as he looked at the Ironhide Bull. The wall of ice had been able to keep it at bay with ease just a moment ago, so why had it suddenly become so fragile? Could it be that … the little brat really had used some magic to make the wall of ice so resolute? With that in mind, even he was in disbelief.
Furthermore, the Ironhide Bull clearly had no intention of letting them go after sending them flying. It charged toward them again, and they were completely immobilized, so there was no way for them to evade. All they could do was wait for their deaths.
Eva reached out and crawled in Evan's direction. She made a gurgling sound with her mouth. If she could die by Wizard Evan's side, it would not be so bad.
"Crap!"
They had thought that Evan and the others would be fine, but to their surprise, the tables had turned in an instant. The resolute wall of ice had been shattered, and Evan and Eva had been sent flying with severe injuries. They had to face the Ironhide Bull again, and there was no one else present who could save them. Expressions of despair appeared on Chiwil and the others' faces.
Meanwhile, the Ironhide Bull charging toward Meg and Amy was also unstoppable. The most vulnerable people present were now standing on the brink of death, but there was nothing they could do. This sense of powerlessness struck them with despair.
"Sigh, didn't your master teach you that even if you can't beat your opponent, you can think of other ways?" Amy looked at Evan with an exasperated expression. She then pointed her wand at the ground in front of them with a smile, and said, "For example, you can make this stupid bull dance first."
A layer of ice appeared beneath Evan and Eva's feet before extending downward along the slope.
The oncoming Ironhide Bull stepped onto the block of ice, and its front hooves slid down to its knees. It slid upward for a while before stopping less than half a meter away from Evan and the others. It looked up at them with an indignant expression and let loose a couple of moos before struggling to its feet. It was as if it were dancing on ice, but it was unable to approach Evan and Eva in the slightest.
"1st-tier ice spell, Frost Magic." Amy looked at Evan with a shrug.
Evan and Eva had thought that they were going to die from the Ironhide Bull's charge, and they both heaved a collective sigh of relief. However, a blush appeared on their faces upon hearing Amy's nonchalant words. They had done everything they could to stop the Ironhide Bull, only to be severely wounded by it. However, it had been subdued by a four-year-old half-elf girl, and she had even used a Frost Magic spell on it. This was a massive slap to their faces.
However, if she was a 1st-tier magic caster, then that meant that he was the one who had unleashed that wall of ice. At the very least, that meant that he was able to unleash a 4th-tier spell, and he was far more powerful than Amy! Evan consoled himself internally. The pain from his wounds was making him feel like he was about to faint. This was the first time that he had sustained such a grievous injury.
Chiwil and the others all heaved a collective sigh of relief upon seeing this. They didn't think that Amy would step in to save Evan and the others in the nick of time. What was even more incredible to them was that Amy really was a magic caster. Even if she was only a 1st-tier magic caster, at her current age, she could definitely be hailed as a prodigy for being able to use a Frost Magic spell in such an ingenious manner.
"This is the most basic usage of a Frost Magic spell. My master told me that there is no difference between strong and weak magic spells. The true difference lies in the people who use them, like you and me." Amy looked at Evan as she spoke. She spread open her right hand, and a ball of flames of extreme frost appeared over her palm. The flames of ice slowly danced on her fingertip as she pointed a finger at the Ironhide Bull.
The flames of ice didn't appear to be traveling very quickly, but they reached the Ironhide Bull in the blink of an eye.
The tiny flames of ice weren't even as large as the Ironhide Bull's eyes, but an expression of shock and horror appeared on the Ironhide Bull's face for the first time, and it immediately turned to flee.
However, the flames of ice had already landed on the bull's head, and frost instantly enshrouded the entire Ironhide Bull, sealing it in ice from head to toe. It was still in a kneeling position, as if it had been carved into a statue.
"These magic fluctuations … She's an intermediate magic caster!" Evan's eyes widened with incredulity as he stared at the frozen Ironhide Bull. As a 3rd-tier magic caster, he was able to easily determine the power of a magic spell. To be able to seal an Ironhide Bull in ice with a single flame of ice was something that was completely beyond his reach.
A four-year-old intermediate magic caster, and a half-elf at that, had already far surpassed him in terms of magic.
Evan felt as if his heart had stopped for three seconds. The feeling of asphyxiation made him forget about the pain in his chest, and he began to question the meaning of life.
"There is no such thing as a powerful magic spell; the true difference lies in the person using it …" These words struck Evan's heart like a sledgehammer.
If someone else had made a name for themselves a long time ago, perhaps he would've felt a little better. However, these words had come out of Amy's mouth, and he felt as if a sharp sword had been plunged into his heart. Everything that he had done thus far had made him look like a clown.
This father and daughter duo were not people that he could mess with. Just this four-year-old little girl alone was far more powerful than him.
"How … How is this possible?!" Eva was also in complete disbelief at the sight of this. This Ironhide Bull, which even Evan couldn't resist, had been sealed in ice by Amy with ease. As a magic caster, she naturally knew what this entailed. She abruptly turned to look at Amy, and all that was left in her eyes was fear toward the powerful.
"So powerful!"
Chiwil and the others couldn't help but falter in their footsteps as they stared at the frozen Ironhide Bull with astonishment etched on their faces. They didn't think that Amy would be the one to tame the Ironhide Bull in the end. They finally understood why Meg dared to take Amy into the wilderness and target the Ironhide Bull.
"Look out!" Chiwil faltered momentarily before letting loose a cry of alarm. One of the Ironhide Bulls had been sealed in ice, but the one charging toward Meg and the others didn't stop. Just as everyone was still in a daze, it had already reached less than five meters away from Meg and the others before hurtling toward Meg and the others at an extremely fast speed.
"Big dumb bull, you have to behave yourself too." Amy turned to the Ironhide Bull and extended her little right hand.
"I'll take care of this big dumb bull." Meg smiled as he strode forward and laid a hand on his waist. A cold light flashed, and the Ironhide Bull barely brushed past him. After charging forward a few steps, it collapsed to the ground with a resounding thud. It was already dead, and its scorching blood soaked the mountain rocks before converging into a small stream that slowly flowed downward.
