Final Lord

Chapter 79 Ice Barrier Group
Wang Bufu gazed into the distance. Aurora streamed across the shattered sky, like a riot of colors poured by the gods, splashed across the dome of the icy barrier. The permafrost, stained with the foul blood of demons, slowly shifted. Fragments of a fallen mage's robe were carried by the cold wind, sweeping past the dark-spotted wolves gnawing at the corpse. With every bite, these pitch-black creatures formed new dark spots on their bodies. Their hollow eye sockets reflected the distance: a horde of thunder-striped colossi, tens of meters tall, pounded against the glacial barrier before the castle.

Wang Bufu understood that their entire team had been dragged into an illusion. They were now standing inside the Ice Barrier Legion's fortress, their breath overlapping with the breath of the Ice Barrier soldiers.

Through the refraction of the ice wall, they could even clearly see the magma bombs spewed out by the monsters exploding into fireworks outside the ice barrier.

"Brother..." Wei Yi pierced through a soldier who was sharpening his arrows. "We are like the ghosts the bard talked about."

"It's not all ghosts."

Wang Bufu reached out and touched the icy wall, and felt a real chill at his fingertips, extremely clear.

Wang Bufu looked towards the corner and noticed a young soldier curled up there - the child was gnawing on the frozen ice armor straps, with an abnormal flush on his swollen cheeks.

"Don't eat this, eat mine. Mine is delicious." Wang Bufu subconsciously took out the air-dried meat specially made by Uncle Ming from his arms, but found that his palm went straight through the boy's body.

"It's useless." An old voice came from behind. A white-haired commander of the Ice Barrier approached, leaning on a broken sword. Frozen ice cubes filled the cracks of his armor, but his eyes pierced Wang Buyi. "Are you travelers from the future?"

“Who are you?”

An old man, draped in a cloak inlaid with ice crystals, plunged his broken sword into the frozen battlements. The remnant of the dark blue ribbon on the hilt rustled in the chill wind. Beneath his sword-like brows, his eyes resembled tempered iron, their corners crinkled with tiny ice crystals. "I am Ed, the second-generation Ice Envoy of the Eagle Principality. I command three thousand Ice Enchanted soldiers to guard Eagle's Beak Castle."

The old man's cracked knuckles raked through the swirling purple-black mist outside the city wall. His voice was heavy as he spoke, "The demonic tide has arrived. After sixty days and nights of bloody battle, the demonic tide has devoured seventy percent of our brothers and sisters. The rest of us are relying on the castle's fire to support the ice barrier formation to stay alive."

Wang Bufu reacted immediately: "Eagle Beak Castle... was the battle that destroyed the Ice Barrier Legion over forty years ago!"

"Destroyed?" Ed raised his eyebrows, looking somewhat dejected. "As expected, our Ice Barrier Legion was finally destroyed? It seems that not only did those of us who held on didn't receive reinforcements, but the seeds we desperately sent out also failed to escape. Ahem!"

The old man suddenly coughed violently, and frost particles fell from the cracks in his armor. When he raised his frostbitten face, his almond-shaped eyes flashed with a chilling cold light.

"Since you're here, come and see the final glory of our Ice Barrier Army."

Suddenly, a roar of shattering ice could be heard in the distance. The old man's pupils shrank into two silver stars. He ripped the Ice Soul Pendant from his neck and crushed it. The ice crystals in the sky instantly condensed into a huge frost axe. "The demonic tide is coming again. If you want to live to witness it,

Eddard turned, his tattered cloak billowing like a banner in the blizzard, and an icy blue flame rose from his frosted hair. "Hold your weapons firmly and follow the right side of my formation."

Old General Ed led Wang Bufu and his men up to the city wall. The monsters at the foot of the mountain were already attacking the mountain like a tide.

Old General Ed raised his sword high, and the sword suddenly burst out with icy light that shot up into the sky. The entire ice crystal wall of Eagle Beak Castle rolled over like a living thing.

"drink!"

Three hundred ice-bound archers marched in unison onto the battlements, their black ice boots sparking blue sparks on the ice. The moment they drew their bows, tens of thousands of icicles from the wall shattered and solidified into arrows, swirling around them. "Ice arrow rain! Shoot!"

The old general pointed his sword, and the archers suddenly split into three columns, firing in rotation. The first column's ice arrows split into six-sided ice cones in mid-air, the second column's arrows precisely struck the core of the ice cone, shattering it into tiny ice spikes, and the third column's arrows, with a spiral of energy, swept up the ice spikes and pierced the monster!
Wang Bufu saw that as soon as twenty lava monsters spewed out magma, they were pierced by the series of exploding ice and turned into funny ice sculptures, falling to the ground with their mouths open.

But there were too many monsters, and before the first batch of monsters died, the second batch rushed up.

"Glacier Shield, raise!" Ed raised his sword high.

The heavy-shield warriors at the foot of the city wall suddenly thrust their giant shields into the frozen soil behind the wall, and the animal-head reliefs on the shields began to emit frost mist.

Thick ice fog covered the city wall, forming dense ice thorn bushes outside the wall!
The moment the three dune worms broke out of the ground, they were cut into thin slices like sashimi by the rotating ice thorns.

Suddenly, twelve thunder-patterned colossi leaped from the demonic tide, their mountainous bodies swirling with purple lightning. They gathered the lightning in their hands and, roaring, hurled the thunder at the city walls!
Wang Bufu fixed his eyes. The Thunder Pattern Colossus was a well-known monster of the 6th level. It had thick skin and strong flesh, powerful attacks, and a certain long-range casting ability. It was very difficult to deal with.

But General Ed merely scoffed at the sight. He tapped the wall with his sword. A hexagonal icy barrier suddenly rose from Eagle's Beak Castle. The colossus's lightning was refracted into a dazzling aurora, which in turn burned the shadow demons in the rear of the monsters to charcoal.

"It's time to give them some return gifts! Ice barrier, activate!"

Following the old general's roar, the ice barrier, having absorbed the lightning's energy, suddenly collapsed into a three-hundred-meter-long ice crystal sword. One hundred and twenty ice barrier mages simultaneously plunged their staffs into the ground, powering the giant sword.

"Go!" Old General Ed pointed his sword, and the giant sword split into tens of thousands of flying swords in the air, which nailed the Thunder Pattern Colossus into an ice crystal hedgehog flashing with lightning like a pouring galaxy.

"It's not over yet!" Ed suddenly leaped to the top of the wall, his white hair dancing wildly in the blizzard. Beneath him, a magic circle of ice crystals appeared, covering the entire castle. At the center of each magic circle stood an ice barrier soldier.

"Ice Cage!"

Three thousand soldiers simultaneously thrust their weapons into the ice, and suddenly countless ice crystal prisms appeared across the snowfield.

Countless dark blue ice beams were refracted and split by the prism, eventually transforming into an aurora cage that enveloped the entire demonic tide. The demons were horrified to find that all their attacks were rebounding from the aurora cage. The Thunder Mark Colossus was blasted to pieces by its own thunder, and the fireballs it spewed out before the entire Red Flame Demon could react were incinerated to ashes.

"last step!"

The old general's sword suddenly grew a hundred meters in length, and three thousand ice barrier runes appeared on the sword.

"Ice Breaker!"
