Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1797 Overpowering Ginko

喳!

The ice phoenix cried out as it passed through the raging wind wall and arrived at the center of the storm's eye. The once lifelike ice feathers on the surface were now shattered. It was only thanks to the continuous support of Millie's immense magical power within its elemental body that it was able to forcefully break through the outer wind wall barrier and reach the "Heart of the World," a space that had been artificially created and expanded.

Naturally, the Ice Crystal Phoenix discovered the phantom of the Silver Ancient Sorcerer standing on a silver-white fountain in the center of the world, resembling a dying old man.

From its vantage point high above, the Ice Crystal Phoenix spread its wings, its projection enveloping the Silver Ancient Sorcerer from the center of the vortex. Frost and snowflakes mixed with the silver powder increased its mass as it slowly drifted down.

"Your vitality is truly astonishing! Who are you, and why have you intruded upon this place, disturbing my slumber?"

The Silver Mage, supported by the silver spring beneath its feet, slowly rose up, a long, thorny tail slowly extending from its back. At the same time, a layer of silver bubbles gradually rose from its body, as it absorbed the power of the silver spring beneath it and rapidly expanded.

Meanwhile, the Ice Crystal Phoenix, which had been damaged by the hurricane's wind wall, regained its brilliance with Millie's magical support. One by one, ice feathers gradually extended out, lifelike and exquisite.

"I am the Great Wizard of the Ice Age. I originally came here to search for clues about a ruler, but now, your source of the world has piqued my interest even more. Surely, there must be some secrets hidden behind you?"

While exchanging consciousness, the Ice Crystal Phoenix was constantly assessing the strength of the Silver Ancient Sorcerer before it.

However, in terms of recovery alone, the Ice Crystal Phoenix has an advantage in terms of the time required for recovery, as its surface structure has already been completely restored.

"Now that I've seen the remains of these lucky ones, if they were to return to the Dimensional Foodway, the rules you promoted based on lies would be broken. Therefore, you will not let me leave under any circumstances! And for the same reason, this space should be one of the few places where we can temporarily avoid the cleansing during the upcoming Dimensional Foodway apocalypse, so I don't intend to leave either. And given the spacetime quality here, hiding one of us is already the limit; if only one can remain..."

Millie spoke from her Ice Crystal Phoenix Elemental True Form, a hint of determination appearing on her lips as she looked down from above, her Absolute Zero Magic Staff silently waving in her hand.

"Frost Secret Technique, Ice Sculpture Snow Leopard!"

call……

A fierce wind mixed with blizzard, and the skeleton formed by rules, the surface filled with frost elements, these active elemental creatures gradually took shape in the gale.

twitter……

Each ice sculpture is like a miniature version of an ice crystal phoenix, reaching over ten meters in length when its wings are spread. Its semi-transparent body, hooked beak, and sharp claws are captivating. More than a hundred of them fly around, their cries loud and clear.

Roar……

As for the more powerful snow leopards, they are pure white, over twenty meters long, with a robust physique that lacks some agility, but contains explosive power, with their fangs bared, making them extremely terrifying.

In the blink of an eye, countless ice sculptures and snow leopards surrounded the Silver Ancient Sorcerer, roaming around and ready to unleash a fatal attack at any moment.

Above the Silver Spring, upon seeing this scene, the Silver Ancient Sorcerer no longer displayed his previous wise and learned demeanor. The surface of his liquid metal-like body instantly hardened with a "crack," revealing a sci-fi-like silvery sheen.

Splash!

The Silver Ancient Sorcerer, whose body had already foamed, swept his long tail fiercely, causing millions of silver water accumulated around the Silver Spring to splash out like the hottest magma. These silver water droplets landed on the ice sculpture snow leopards that were poised to attack around the Silver Ancient Sorcerer. With a "squeak," all the ice sculpture snow leopards that were splashed by these silver water droplets let out painful howls and showed signs of being partially silvered.

Wisps of steam rose, but these riddled ice sculptures of snow leopards did not fall. Instead, they seemed to be aroused and charged toward the Silver Ancient Sorcerer above the Silver Spring.

Noisy!

The ice sculpture that lunged through the air was pierced by a needle hundreds of meters long and as thick as a finger deep inside the Silver Ancient Sorcerer's body. Centered on the needle, the ice sculpture screamed horribly as it was silvered. However, just moments later, the ice sculpture turned into a puddle of snow water because it lost the support of the internal rules structure.

"Awooo!"

The pure white snow leopard, brimming with explosive power, leaped into the air. However, as the afterimage of the long tail behind the Silver Ancient Sorcerer flicked past, with a "roar," the more than twenty-meter-long snow leopard was instantly cut in half at the waist, flying thousands of meters away before becoming part of the scattered corpses, slowly dissolving into the most basic energy elements.

An ice sculpture, having evaded the attention of the Ginko sorcerer, reached out with its sharp claws toward the sorcerer, who was swelling like a bubble.

With an astonishing impact, the futuristic, hardened body of the Silver Ancient Sorcerer was torn apart, and the foamy, bulging part burst out with a "poof," spraying water everywhere. Then, the once ferocious ice sculpture melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

For a time, despite the overwhelming attacks from all sides by the numerous elemental-activated creatures, Millie was unable to inflict any real damage on the Silver Ancient Sorcerer. Instead, this created an opportunity for the weakened Silver Ancient Sorcerer to activate his true physical form. As the frost and snow mist exploded with "bang," "bang," "bang," "bang," the number of ice-sculpted snow leopards dwindled.

Throughout the entire ordeal, the Silver Ancient Sorcerer never moved; those ice-sculpted snow leopards around him were injured if they were brushed against, and killed if they were touched.

"twitter!"

The Ice Crystal Phoenix Millie swooped down from above!

Compared to those ice-sculpted snow leopards, Millie's elemental true form, the Ice Crystal Phoenix, was almost a qualitative leap. Before it even truly descended, the azure ice flame mist had already fallen and spread.

"They're also a species that uses rules as their power?"

During his brief exchange with Millie, the sorcerer Yinko discerned the true nature of her power and remarked with great interest, "This body was left behind tens of thousands of years ago by a little fellow attempting to find the other side of the Underworld. It took me dozens of epochs to completely analyze all of that little fellow's power, and now a similar spare body has appeared. This is excellent! I will use you as an avatar to travel through the dimensional esophagus to a shallower medium world!"

Facing Millie's Ice Crystal Phoenix Elemental True Form, this bubble-covered Ginko sorcerer was clearly not yet in the process of transforming into his true form. However, his confidence in his own strength made him fearless. He forcibly compressed the bubble surface of his body, transforming it into a human form resembling a half-shark, a sea creature.

The Silver Ancient Sorcerer clenched his fists, one of which stretched out a regular swirling pattern, while the other was like a spinning cone, clashing against the Ice Crystal Phoenix's true form that was pouncing down from above.

Rumble...

The terrifying shockwave that spread out in an instant enveloped several wounded snow leopards nearby, and the snow leopards were blown away amidst their unwilling roars.

The two people at the center of the energy shockwave, the Silver Ancient Sorcerer, who had been arrogant and confident, suddenly froze. In his almost ferocious struggle, he still looked exhausted and was pressed down by the Ice Crystal Phoenix from high above.

"Hmph, with only half your strength, you're not qualified to face me head-on!"

Within the Ice Crystal Phoenix Elemental True Form, at the tip of the Absolute Zero Magic Staff held by the Ice Age Saint Mark Grand Wizard Millie, a cold ice nail suddenly appeared from the black vortex. Dense, tiny runes flowed on its surface, resembling an advanced wizarding artifact like the "Book of Truth." This was clearly not a powerful artifact that Millie's level could possess.

As Millie swung her Absolute Zero magic wand, the nail was spat out from the mouth of the Ice Crystal Phoenix elemental form. After a fleeting moment, with a "poof," the Silver Age sorcerer fell from the sky like a kite with a broken string.

Immediately afterwards, with a "whoosh," the glacier burst open and covered everything, freezing the Silver Ancient Sorcerer at the core of the iceberg in this vast silver space.

"That's all there is to it. It seems that even in its complete form, it's only about the same as me now, empowered by the Eye of Grimm! From this perspective, it seems that Grimm is just too strong. Even a negligible empowerment is almost irresistible to beings below the level of a ruler."

The ice phoenix circled high in the sky, waiting for the moment when the Silver Ancient Sorcerer, who had been severely injured at the very beginning of the battle, would break free of the ice.
