Tiana slowly recited a water magic incantation. All of a sudden, snowflakes fluttered, the world froze, and all things froze.
The more powerful the magic, the longer the incantation. This was a universally acknowledged truth in the world of magic. Seeing Snow Celestial Tiana's incantation drag on for such a long time, and the entire space slowly turning into a world of ice and snow, Han Shuo knew that Tiana's incantation was extraordinarily powerful.
Unlike dealing with Ice Celestial Corey, Han Shuo only needed to approach Tiana as fast as he could. Once Han Shuo got close, she would be skinned alive, if not dead!
Mages were mages, after all. The weakness of the physical body was an unchangeable drawback!
The cold wind whistled, and the water element between heaven and earth suddenly condensed. Before Han Shuo could approach Tiana, five lifelike, sparkling water dragons, more than ten meters long, suddenly took shape in the sky.
Using water magic to condense into physical objects to attack was a spell that could be released by any water journeyman mage. But to condense water dragons that were as lifelike as Tiana, and five of them at once, was absolutely unheard of.
As a necromancer, Han Shuo was very clear about the general knowledge of magic. Whether it was water, fire, or earth magic, all could use the elements of water, fire, or earth to condense into physical objects. But the larger the object, the greater the elemental energy required, and the harder it was to manipulate.
Last time in Tarrag Canyon, if Tiana had been able to condense five such enormous water dragons, Han Shuo believed that he and Statholme the old monster would have had a much easier time. It seemed that after fusing her soul with the Origin Crystal of Water, Tiana's strength had indeed greatly improved.
Once her soul had fused with the Origin Crystal of Water, Tiana's perception and manipulation of the water element had immediately reached a whole new realm. Not only could she condense five lifelike dragons, but she could also use the water dragons to attack with the strength of her soul.
Such power was not much inferior to Kelly's form as a giant ape!
Kelly, who had transformed into a giant ape, cried out in surprise when three of the water dragons, each more than ten meters long, surged violently in the frigid wind. "Tiana, since when did you possess such great power?"
While Kelly was crying out in alarm, his two hands weren't idle. Having just forced Ice Celestial Corey back, Kelly's mountainous palms suddenly swept towards the three water dragons.
Kelly was also over ten meters tall, and he was like a colossus that stood in the sky. Although the three water dragons were long enough, because they were slithering and their bodies were not wide enough, they looked like three large pythons in front of him.
However, the three water dragons were indeed incomparably nimble under Tiana's control. Tiana clearly understood that Kelly, who had transformed into a giant ape, possessed astonishing brute strength. She did not dare to directly use the three water dragons to meet force with force. Instead, she circled around Kelly in an extremely methodical manner, coordinating with Ice Celestial Corey to deal with Kelly.
However, Tiana had also expended all of her energy in this process. Furthermore, there was also Han Shuo who was charging at her like a tiger watching its prey. She had absolutely no leisure time to reply.
Tiana condensed a total of five water dragons. Three of them were used to attack Kelly, while the other two split off and headed straight for Han Shuo to wrap around and bite him.
Tiana seemed to understand that Han Shuo was extremely fast. When the two water dragons attacked Han Shuo from her side, they adopted a entrenched position, with the greater half of their bodies surrounding Tiana. They only used their elongated movements to attack Han Shuo, blocking Han Shuo's path to deal with Tiana.
Although the water dragons formed from the condensation of the water element weren't real water dragons, their vivid and lifelike state was even more nimble than a real water dragon. There wasn't the slightest trace of stiffness or sluggishness.
To be able to condense the elements into a tangible object, and to be able to achieve such a feat with a tangible object, was simply godly!
It seemed that after fusing her soul with the Origin Crystal of Water, Tiana's manipulation of the water element had indeed reached the acme of perfection.
Han Shuo watched as Tiana used only two water dragons to block off all the paths to approach him. Hiding within the protection of the two water dragons, she continued to calmly chant other magical incantations. Han Shuo couldn't help but crease his brows. In his mind, he racked his brains for a way to deal with Tiana.
If the water elite zombie had completely digested all the energy he'd absorbed from the Ice Goddess statue, Han Shuo believed that as long as the water elite zombie stood there, he would be able to completely disintegrate the five water dragons with his innate talent of instinct. However, just like Little Skull, water elite zombie was at a critical juncture and must not be disturbed.
"Hmph! You want to trap me with just a few water dragons?! "Han Shuo suddenly snorted coldly. Soon after, he formed a circle with his hands and began to circle in the air as if he was practicing Tai Chi.
Streaks of black lightning shot out from Han Shuo's hands. All of a sudden, a small vortex formed in front of Han Shuo's chest as his hands rotated. A frightening devouring force was suddenly generated. The small vortex seemed to be driving some strange energy between heaven and earth. It grew larger and larger, gradually turning into an incomparably frightening gray vortex.
Han Shuo continued to pour energy into the vortex. The all-devouring power of demonic arts fully manifested within the enormous vortex. In a split second, all the cold currents in the air were drawn in by this frightening force, and were all forcibly pulled in by the vortex.
Although the sky was originally cold and clear, it suddenly changed. Sand and pebbles flew everywhere, and the sky darkened. The enormous vortex was like a magical beast that had been hiding in the abyss for millions of years. It opened its enormous mouth, as if it wanted to devour the entire world.
The earth was a vast expanse, as if there was no power that could stop this frightening devouring force. The air, the cold currents, the towering stone pillars, everything was drawn in by this force, involuntarily and rapidly falling into the vortex.
Even the bodies of the squadron of knights that Kelly had pushed into the ground were forcibly pulled out. Together with their armor, weapons, and warhorses, they flew from the ground into the sky, involuntarily falling into the enormous vortex.
The larger the object, the greater the suction force. The five separated water dragons were similarly drawn in by this force. They could no longer maintain their nimble bodies and were pulled out of their original positions, falling into the enormous vortex high up in the sky.
At this point, even Tiana, who had fused her soul with the Origin Crystal of Water, could no longer control the five water dragons. She could only watch helplessly as the water dragons flew into the enormous vortex at the center, but there was nothing she could do. As soon as she tried to use her mental strength to control the water dragons, she felt an unshakable force rushing towards her. She nearly lost control of her body and fell into the vortex as well.
Kelly, who had transformed into a giant ape, stood proudly in the vault of heaven, swaying from side to side. He suddenly let out a howl and stomped his feet down like a golden cudgel. His hairy thighs pierced directly into the ground, like a towering ancient tree that had stood tall for millions of years. No matter how sand, stones, wind, or rain, he would not fall.
One had to admit that Kelly's strength was indeed formidable. All of the large objects had been sucked into the whirlpool. Only this incomparably large Kelly was able to remain unaffected by the whirlpool with his feet sinking deep into the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the entire scene had descended into chaos. Fortunately, the Shrine of Ice had cleared away everyone in the vicinity before coming over. Therefore, other than the disciples of the Shrine of Ice who had come to encircle Kelly, there were no other casualties.
Amidst the howling gales, Han Shuo suddenly stopped and put his palms together. A devastating explosion suddenly came from that enormous vortex. Ice water mixed with rocks, dust, and human corpses rained down.
It was at this moment that Han Shuo suddenly burst into action, charging straight at Snow Celestial Tiana like a bolt of lightning. With a wave of his hands, the Demonic Blades unfurled like a peacock spreading its tail. Cold, chilling light sparkled, bringing a shock to the depths of one's soul.
Not good! Tiana was greatly shocked. Without a second thought, she immediately retreated.
As a magus, Tiana was well aware of where her weaknesses were. Once Han Shuo got close, Tiana knew that she would not be able to escape from Han Shuo's murderous hands. Therefore, she fled from Han Shuo's attack at all costs.
In the process of escaping, Tiana constantly laid down layers of defense. Smooth, sparkling walls of ice appeared out of thin air, blocking Han Shuo's only path.
Crack crack crack!
The smooth, mirror-like walls of ice could not withstand a single attack from Han Shuo. They were broken apart as easily as crushing dry weeds. Han Shuo persevered in his pursuit of Tiana, not letting up in the slightest!
"Retreat!" Tiana did not forget to remind them as she fled.
The Shrine of Ice experts, led by Ice Celestial Corey and Snow Celestial Tiana, had utterly failed in their joint attack on Kelly, the leader of the Druidic Order, due to Han Shuo's sudden appearance.
Not only had they failed completely, but their roles had also changed. Kelly, who was originally the prey, had, with Han Shuo's help, overturned his disadvantageous position in one fell swoop and became the hunter! And as the host, Ice Celestial Corey of the Shrine of Ice, had instead become the target of pursuit.
They were both demigods, and Kelly's strength was higher than that of Ice Celestial Corey and Snow Celestial Tiana. It was obviously very difficult for him to fight one against two. However, with the greater threat of Han Shuo chasing after Tiana, Kelly could deal with Ice Celestial Corey alone, especially when Corey was injured by Han Shuo. This gave him an absolute advantage.
The collapse came so suddenly. The situation changed drastically in an instant. Han Shuo and Kelly, each with their eyes on the highest leaders of the Shrine of Ice, began their pursuit within the borders of Kasi Empire!
