Chapter 510, Page 509: I Won't Let You Die (Seeking Votes at the Beginning of the Month)
The Frost Knight's six-meter-tall icy body showed no signs of clumsiness, and each swing of his greatsword, shrouded in icy mist, stirred up a storm.
Cassinar dodged the relentless sword strikes while simultaneously manipulating his blood to shatter the ice crystals shot from the snow servants in mid-air.
Those seemingly thin ice flakes can freeze everything they touch instantly with just a swipe.
The combined efforts of the two Hall-level Frost Spirits temporarily suppressed the Marquis, giving Number Four a chance.
It suddenly broke free from Number Ten's restraints, its body curled into a ball, and rolled rapidly in an arc using the terrain of the ruins, charging out from the path of Cassinar's retreat!
"Eat my Blade Storm!"
However, Number Four made a mistake—the Cold Spirit was not controlled by Inanna.
They were drawn to Inanna, following her, protecting her, and suppressing their aggression around her.
But this doesn't mean they care about anything other than Inanna.
The Frost Sword slammed into the ground, sending Number Four flying, only to be hit by an ice crystal.
In the blink of an eye, Number Four turned into a frozen lump of ice and fell straight into the collapsed darkness next door.
Even the marquis, who was preparing to defend himself, almost lost his composure at the sight before him.
"Number Four!" Although she knew that Number Four could be resurrected, Inanna still felt heartbroken to see Number Four injured.
Number Ten slammed his tentacle against the ground: "That idiot!"
It observed the situation on the field. Although the vampire seemed to be suppressed, the opponent's posture was not at all disheveled, indicating that this was far from the opponent's full strength.
Number Ten decisively activated the magic crystal within his body—the Group Invisibility Technique!
It's not a skill, it's real magic.
While the other Puji were still figuring out which skill was more powerful, Number Ten had already begun teaching himself magic.
Then it grabbed the pink puff and tried to run away.
But how could Cassinal let his precious treasure slip away like that?
The ability to control the Frost Spirits, and the fact that she can now move freely within the ruins, is enough to make him willing to pay any price to capture Inanna.
The Marquis suddenly stopped retreating, and the dark red blood light that had been accumulating in his palm shot out instantly, striking the two cold spirits respectively.
After the blood arrow pierced the ice crystal body, it exploded, forming countless barbs that pinned the Snow Servant and the Frost Knight firmly to the spot.
Han Ling struggled incessantly, but it would take several minutes to break free of the restraints, which was more than enough time for Cassinar.
Cassinar raised his hand and waved it, and the surging curtain of blood blocked Inanna's retreat.
Although he couldn't see her, Cassinar could still roughly pinpoint Inanna's location through the keen sense of blood.
As for that last one, Puji, it's probably near the woman too...
The wind whistled past my ears, and the invisible Number Ten was right in front of me.
Mud Swamp Technique!
Mushroom Cannon!
Self-destruct!
Number Ten was well aware of the difference in strength between the two sides; it knew that it could not harm the vampire marquis except by self-destructing.
The Mud Swamp spell was only meant to slightly slow down her movements, while the Mushroom Cannon's real target was the Blood Curtain that blocked Inanna's path!
"Run!" came Number Ten's final message from the mushroom network.
Inanna fought back tears and turned to escape through the gap in the blood-red curtain.
Before the aftershocks of the explosion had even subsided, Cassinal had already slowly emerged from the shadows in the distance.
Half of his face was injured by the explosion, which looked terrible, but the injury was not actually serious.
These bloodless creatures are indeed difficult to spot in the chaos of battle, but they always have to move to charge forward, which gave him the opportunity to discover them in advance.
Almost at the same time as Number 10's self-destruction, he retreated into the shadows, thus suffering only minor injuries.
"You can't escape, human!" He transformed into a crimson streak, rushing towards the direction Inanna had fled. "Don't worry, I won't kill you! I'll turn you into a blood slave, and you'll become my most obedient and useful tool!"
"Are you trying to steal my things?"
The terrifying sound seemed to come from the bottom of the abyss, and Cassinar trembled involuntarily, slowing his movements by half a beat.
Then, with a loud "boom," the rock wall on the side suddenly shattered, and the giant beast curled up into a ball crashed out.
At the same time, an excited voice rang out from within the mushroom net: "Haha! Don't be afraid, Pinky, I'm back to save you after I've upgraded!"
The giant beast Puji was summoned by Lin Jun using those Puji buried in the ruins. Number Four had driving experience, so he just crammed it in as well.
Number Four was clearly delighted to have such a large mushroom again: "A giant mushroom on top!"
Cassinar had to stop abruptly and retreat, only to be blocked by the suddenly appearing behemoth.
"What kind of monster is this?" He couldn't quite understand the creature in front of him.
How could there be such a big poop in the world?
Fragments of the Dragon Roar Valley battle report suddenly flashed through my mind.
Could it be that the Duke of Sigismund was not exaggerating to exonerate himself... that those absurd descriptions were actually true?
It's no wonder he didn't believe it; the battle report was too outrageous. Who would believe it unless they saw it with their own eyes?
Cassinar quickly regained his composure.
He dodged the giant beast's wildly flailing tentacles, occasionally retaliating with several bloody blades, and soon realized the problem.
His attacks were like mud sinking into the sea; even a charged attack would likely not cause any real damage to the thing.
The troll's regeneration is like a cripple compared to it!
But upon closer inspection, it's not hard to see that it's actually quite bulky.
No, that's more like it makes sense.
He was initially taken aback by Duke Sigismund's battle report; the behemoth's slow movements were to be expected.
Cassinar stopped pursuing and instead blended into the shadows, bypassing number four and heading straight for Inanna.
"You're a cheat, aren't you?!"
Sensing the vampire's intentions, the fourth tentacle shot out, wrapped around the screaming Inanna, and stuffed her whole into its body.
It even went so far as to use its tentacles to push in and adjust Inanna's position to ensure she was in the safest spot.
Then the giant beast curled up into a ball with a thud, stopped rolling, and remained motionless.
Several sharp, blood-red blades slashed at the mushroom, cutting open wounds several meters deep. However, the fungal flesh healed at a visible speed, returning to its original state in the blink of an eye.
Cassinal slowly emerged from the shadows, his usually sharp mind momentarily at a loss.
Lin Jun didn't miss any opportunity to unleash her power:
"Hehehe... Out of options? Trying to escape? Too late!"
"I've destroyed the teleportation array. You can't escape, you old bat!"
"Don't worry, I won't kill you! I'll turn you into a mushroom slave, and you'll become my most obedient and useful tool!"
"Hmm...no, this seems to count as killing..."
Cassinar then found the source of the disgusting sound: a tattered sack wriggling on the ruins not far away.
Upon hearing that the teleportation array had been destroyed, he immediately sensed something was wrong.
Since the other party knew about this escape route, they were clearly not lying to him.
However, he did not run away.
He noticed that these enemies clearly valued the human.
Then he still has a chance.
Ceasing his futile attacks, the Marquis recalled all his blood, layering it around his body while simultaneously channeling the power of shadow. His entire being gradually twisted and compressed, ultimately transforming into a sharp, long, black and red intertwined shuttle!
He wanted to pierce through the giant beast's body in one fell swoop and capture the human as a hostage!
The battle report from Dragon Roar Valley stated that the giant Puji would self-destruct, so his actions were tantamount to walking into a trap.
But he was going to take a gamble, betting that these enemies cared about that human with special abilities, that they cared enough not to blow him up with her!
However, he couldn't even take the first step.
Without anyone noticing, his feet had become frozen to the ground.
Immediately following was the surging blood all over his body, the scarlet liquid instantly condensing into translucent dark red ice crystals, maintaining its final, gushing form.
A pale blue figure slowly floated down from above.
A long dress made of pure coldness glided lightly by, and every ice crystal scattered on it bloomed into a large frost flower when it touched the ground.
The Frost Elemental Lord descended silently, without a sound or any imposing presence; only the surrounding temperature continued to drop.
It exhaled softly.
Cassinar frantically channeled his inner power, shattering the ice on his legs, only to find a new layer of frost spreading to his waist. He tried to slip into the shadows, only to discover that even his shadow was frozen solid.
In this desperate tug-of-war, the Marquis's movements gradually slowed, and the ice on his body grew thicker and thicker.
In the critical moment, it was Number Four who stepped forward under Lin Jun's orders and protected him in time; otherwise, Cassinar would have died on the spot.
Lin Jun is a man of his word. She just said she wouldn't kill him, so how can we let him die like this?!
However, the problem now is...
The frost elemental lord, so light it seemed weightless, was slowly approaching Number Four and Inanna, who was wrapped inside it. Even before it attacked, frost had already climbed onto the surface of the giant beast.
Click—
The temperature-regulating pendant around Inanna's neck perished in the face of true extreme cold...
