Ancient Wizards: A Little Progress Every Day

"[Absolute Frozen Sphere]!"

Dago raised his ice sword and pointed it directly at Violet. The endless cold air in the world formed a white vortex, and at the center of the vortex was the tip of the sword that was dancing with fine snow.

He manipulated the cold air to rapidly rotate and condense it into a massive, deep blue ice sphere, as large as a hill, that spun endlessly.

"go!"

Dago remained expressionless as he aimed his Dance of Fine Snow at Violet from afar. A terrifying, colossal ice sphere shot out with a whoosh, the accompanying icy wind causing the hem of Dago's robes to billow high behind him.

Compared to his two battles against Karl and Chaplin, Dago's Absolute Freeze Domain and Absolute Freeze Sphere were both much more composed and fluid this time, and their power was also noticeably stronger.

The powerful wizards who could detect this subtle change were all shaken. On the surface, they appeared calm, but in their hearts, they were already in turmoil. They seemed to have found the source of Dago's extraordinary magic.

Such a prodigy, who can improve at a visible pace in battle after battle, is destined to shine his light throughout the entire Magic Circle.

Facing Dago's [Absolute Frozen Sphere], the pinnacle of the Absolute Frost Domain, Violet's pale blue eyes seemed to remain completely undisturbed.

A massive, spinning ice sphere, carrying a terrifyingly cold aura, hurtled closer, causing large swaths of air to condense and spread out like a frosty sky.

A strong gust of cold wind ruffled Violet's hair. He did nothing but slowly take a step forward.

"Bang—"

An extremely powerful domain force field emanated from Violet's body, and countless free energy particles in the air converged and instantly condensed into a giant cyan crystal barrier.

The enormous frozen sphere slammed into the cyan crystal barrier with a loud bang, unleashing a powerful energy shockwave.

Deep blue and cyan light emanated everywhere, and the two elemental forces clashed and collided, producing intense and ear-piercing sounds.

Violet continued walking forward calmly, an invisible yet terrifying aura emanating from her body.

With each step he took, he became more radiant, and a portion of the frozen sphere that was resisting the cyan energy barrier shattered.

He gradually became blinding, step by step enduring Dago's Absolute Freeze Ball as it flew towards him.

The terrifying domain power surrounding her crushed everything. When the ever-weakening ice sphere was finally crushed and exploded under this power, turning into countless blue and white ice blocks that fell down, it completely illuminated Violet's entire body with dazzling light!

Countless free-floating wind-elemental energy particles swirled around Violet, spontaneously forming pale blue hurricanes around him, and countless tornadoes rose into the air.

Dago's absolute icy domain was riddled with holes, and the icy energy was completely destroyed.

This is the kingdom of the wind, and Violet is the queen who walks freely within it!

"A difference of tens of times in mental strength; the absolute ice sphere summoned by the combined 'Twin Winter Stars' couldn't even break through a simple energy barrier he casually conjured. The difference is too great..."

As Dago's mind raced, he watched Violet approach step by step and took a deep breath.

A ghostly blue flame silently ignited on his body, an invisible chill spread out, the light around him was distorted, and the air itself seemed to collapse and cave in.

【Ice Flame Blue Demon Body】, the supreme power of ice element resonating with the flesh!

Dago raised the Dance of Fine Snow, the billowing robes outlining his slender and perfect body, his blue hair dancing on his forehead, his azure eyes fixed firmly on Violet, and an even stronger fighting spirit was gradually ignited at this moment.

"Stop making these useless attempts."

Violet's indifferent gaze slowly swept over Dago, and she calmly said, "You should know just how big the gap is between us. I came here for your first-level Domain Resonance Technique, and I only want to see it."

"Yeah?"

A faint, icy light rose from the tip of the sword.

"Then let's follow my rhythm."

After saying that, Dago's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, leaving only a faint, almost invisible afterimage.

Violet frowned, catching the suppressed, sharp sound of air being torn apart at high speed.

"Rip!"

The gates to Violet's Wind Kingdom burst open, and massive hurricane tornadoes silently dissipated from the middle, as if they had been forcibly severed by something, leaving a straight vacuum trail along their path.

The blue trajectory extended across the energy shield outside Violet's body in the blink of an eye.

With a loud "boom," a large hole was torn open in the crystal-like energy shield, and a blurry blue figure plunged into the solidified domain force field. Using a dark blue ice sword as its blade, it broke through the barriers of the force field and drove straight in.

A glint of light flashed in Violet's lapis lazuli eyes as she raised her hand.

The wind elements in front of him obeyed his call and condensed, instantly transforming into a crystal-clear, crescent-shaped deep blue wind blade, which shot out and struck the blurry figure that approached him like a blue lightning bolt.

"Boom! Crack!"

The massive deep blue wind blade shattered with a deafening roar, exploding into countless crystalline fragments, but the figure shrouded in ghostly blue ice flames was also forced back several steps.

Before it could even get its footing, a second, third, and fourth dense barrage of deep blue wind blades shot towards it at Violet's command.

"【Wind Control】!"

Violet extended her right hand toward the figure that was gradually forced to reveal its full form by countless powerful wind blades, her five fingers spread wide.

Under the manipulation of his late-stage second-ring level mental energy field, countless hurricane tornadoes in the sky obeyed Violet's control, transforming into solid, twisted wind beams that coiled around the figure like giant blue pythons.

"Your elemental and physical strength is quite good, and your speed is also very fast."

Violet looked at the blurry figure who seemed to be in a "bitter battle" and said calmly, "But no matter how fast you are, you can't outrun the speed at which wind magic takes shape, or the speed at which a late-stage second-ring wizard's mental field can capture you. In close combat, you can bully ordinary wizards, but against a true powerhouse, you'll just become a joke."

"boom!"

A terrifying heatwave erupted like a volcanic eruption, and eerie blue flames burst forth in an instant. The entwined wind bundles and countless crystalline wind blades shattered under this sudden burst of power, dissipating into a whirlwind.

"call--"

Breaking through the encirclement of countless wind spells, Dago slowly lowered his ice sword, exhaled softly, and his azure eyes met Violet's calm gaze across the vast distance.

Violet is right.

Although the [Ice Flame Blue Demon Body] is powerful, it is ultimately a purely physical force, a means of close combat, and has too many limitations.

Against wizards of average strength, he could overpower them with brute force, but against opponents like Violet, who were far stronger than him, he was somewhat outmatched.

"But ultimately..."

A glint flashed in Dago's eyes. "It's still because the physical body isn't strong enough. If physical strength can only be effective when overwhelming the opponent, then one should just maintain that overwhelming dominance!"
