The extremely cold and deadly aura that originated from all of them and was the same source and essence as Torge, not only did it not disappear at the moment the light column disappeared, but instead it was like a giant beast that had broken free from its last restraints.
Exploded with a loud bang!
Hundreds of icy energy waves shot up into the sky and condensed into a vortex cloud of light blue ice crystals visible to the naked eye above the canyon!
Their overall pressure suddenly reached a whole new level!
Advanced!
Hundreds of ice crystal legions, whose auras were comparable to those of high-level professionals, were like disasters emerging from their cocoons, completing their final transformation in the baptism of the destructive light column!
The magic communication channel exploded instantly.
Saroo's face instantly turned as pale as paper, as if all the blood had been drained out, leaving only endless fear and an indescribable sense of absurdity.
He opened his mouth, but only a gasping sound came out.
"Saru!!" Eliza's icy voice exploded across the communication channel, carrying undisguised anger and contempt, "Is this the 'perfect preparation' of your Dark Church?!
"Absurdly stupid! Not only did you fail to stop the Star Heart's mutation, but you actually fed it with your ridiculous attacks, helping it completely unleash its power of devouring and strengthening!
"You, the Dark Church, are truly incapable of accomplishing anything, and are always more likely to cause trouble!"
Her voice was like an icy cone, each word piercing the heart: "Cooperation is terminated immediately! All members of the Star-Moon Church, listen up! Immediately sever all magical links with the Dark Fortress and cease output!
"Ice Prison Fortress halts all operations and prepares for evacuation! The Star-Moon Church withdraws from the joint operation against the 'Heart of the Star Remains'! Eliza will personally submit a report to the church's priesthood regarding subsequent damage assessment and accountability!"
A communication channel representing the Black Anvil forces also immediately began to ring. The dwarf commander's voice was hoarse but full of fear and complaint: "Damn it! Special Envoy Sarul! What have you done! That monster Torge! The aura of those traitors under his command is now more terrifying than the strongest warriors of our race!
"How can we fight this battle?! You were the ones who told us that the 'Heart of the Star Remains' could help us regain the attention of the Soul Forger God. We, the Black Anvil, are only here to lend a hand! Now it seems that this monster is a complete blasphemer. You, the Dark Church, should deal with this kind of monster on yourselves! We must retreat too!"
Saroo suddenly came back to his senses, and the accusations coming from the communication crystal were like a whip slapping his face, completely shattering his last bit of luck.
His face twisted, bloodshot instantly filling the whites of his eyes. He roared angrily into the communication, trying to reconcile the two sides:
"No! Wait! Eliza! Black Anvil! If we retreat now, everything will be over! Do you think you can outrun the higher-level enemies with your speed? We must work together to…"
"Enough!" Eliza's voice was as cold as the wind in Frostwhisper chasm, ruthlessly interrupting him. "The Dark Church's incompetence led to this disaster. You have sown the bitter fruit, so you must bear it yourself. Star-Moon Church, withdraw!"
The voice was so cold, but Salu couldn't see that a smile of success appeared on Eliza's face in the opposite fortress.
If she was just an ordinary parish priest of the Star-Moon Church, she would naturally be unable to withstand such a disaster.
But since she can be one of the leaders of this action without being controlled by anyone, how could she be a pawn manipulated by others like Saru?
The plan went even smoother than expected. It seems the Dark Church's choice of person was just perfect...
In the communication channel, the magic node representing the Star-Moon Church fortress dimmed and disengaged.
The Black Anvil stronghold also lost its connection, leaving behind a chaotic cacophony.
Saroo froze in place, the crystal of the communication array groaning in his hand as it could not bear the heavy grip.
He looked down at the vast ice crystal army below, a deadly blue-black silence, its aura a hundred times more terrifying than before the Dark Angel descended, and at the center, Torge, whose energy was constantly expanding like the core of hell...
The overwhelming despair finally consumed him completely.
Escape now?
Oh, no chance!
Saroo knew that the magic of sacrifice had been planted in his body when he left the headquarters.
Today, the ice field is one of the bases of the Dark Church. The church does not allow anything that can threaten the survival and development of the church to exist.
When the people in the General Association find that the situation here has gotten out of control, they will ruthlessly activate the magic in his body and make him the last insurance to eliminate the threat!
However, just when Saru was full of despair and thought that Torger would rush out of the rift in a moment and kill him instantly.
After swallowing the dark angel and huge magic power, Torgue stood quietly at the core of the frozen square formation in the cold pine forest.
Chaotic divine energy, a mixture of deep blue and darkness, surged endlessly within its gigantic ice crystal body. Every surge of energy caused the surrounding air to stagnate and the wind and snow to melt.
Hundreds of ice crystal warriors, cold and silent, whose aura had suddenly risen to the peak of the eighth level, stood solemnly like a forest, loyally guarding their new inhuman master.
The clamor above the rift, the desperate struggles of the remaining dark knights, and even the overloaded screams of the magic furnace caused by the backlash from the fortress above were all blocked by the increasingly powerful cold will in its body.
But a tiny but extremely clear detection wave, like a piercing undercurrent under the ice, was rapidly sliding towards the deeper and colder heart of the Frostwhispering Valley - the four members of Mark's team.
What really attracted Torge's cold core made of star debris and divinity was not their identity or escape behavior.
Instead, it was a breath that lingered around Enzo, a young dwarf of the same clan as Torge.
It wasn't a very powerful force, but it was like an invisible key, a wedge that could attract the attention of the 'Heart of the Starry Sky'.
It carries a pure dark imprint pointing to some higher-level existence, an essence of power that was once used to imprison and seal.
Deep in Torge's empty ice-blue pupils, a star-blue vortex spun wildly.
This aura is a huge potential threat to its existence as it is moving towards complete liberation.
Let the power of the star corpse in its body instinctively feel the strong hatred that comes from the instinct of being "sealed".
"The lock...must be erased..."
Torge's throat, rubbed by ice crystals, uttered an ambiguous and resolute whisper.
The next moment, his two-meter-tall ice crystal body moved without any warning.
boom!
A huge pit instantly appeared in the frozen soil reinforced by energy under his feet!
Torge's huge body turned into a dark blue ink-colored meteorite wrapped in a biting cold current, and shot out at a terrifying speed that ignored physical inertia and far exceeded the previous speed!
The target is directly at the depths of the rift, the direction where Mark's team disappeared!
His ice crystal army remained silent as before, standing still, like a dead forest of tombstones.
