The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 109 Ice Make (Happy National Day)

"Damn it," crackling electricity crackled from Toby's claws, "how dare you underestimate me! I'll show you my true power."

Just as Toby was about to attack, Leon's hand blocked his path. "Step back, Toby," Leon's voice was deep. "You are no match for him."

Toby gritted his teeth, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked. Although he was extremely unwilling, what Leon said was indeed true.

So, despite his reluctance, Toby obediently took a step back.

Leon looked directly at Wes standing opposite him and asked bluntly, "What exactly is your purpose in coming to Galna Island?"

Wes didn't intend to hide his purpose, but he didn't tell the whole truth either: "I heard that demons appeared on this island, so I came here specifically to find out. I didn't expect to encounter just a group of people who are all show and no substance."

Hearing this, Leon's eyes sharpened, and he said coldly, "In that case, you can leave now."

For Leon, avoiding unnecessary conflict was the most important thing right now. The ceremony had reached its most crucial moment, and he couldn't allow any external forces to interfere with it.

Despite Leon's direct order to leave, Wes clearly had no intention of doing so.

"But I discovered something even more interesting."

As he spoke, he pointed to the towering pyramid structure not far away, "Some kind of mysterious ritual is taking place there, focusing the moonlight..."

Before he finished speaking, a chill suddenly filled the air. Immediately afterward, a giant bird made of pure ice crystals descended from the sky, heading straight for Wes.

Almost at the same moment, Leon also took action.

Wes waved his wand, smashing the ice birds one by one with a crisp cracking sound.

He sighed softly and said, "He's so impatient, he doesn't let people finish speaking."

Leon, however, couldn't trust this man of unknown origin. [We can't let him leak the message; if he attracts the attention of the council, all our efforts will be in vain.]

Realizing the urgency of the situation, Leon had already cast a spell with one hand before Wes could speak.

"Ice Form: A Pack of Wolves!"

As Leon's voice faded, a dozen snow wolves appeared out of thin air, each one lifelike. They formed a formation and charged towards Wes.

Based on his previous experience fighting Uru, Wes knew that ordinary flames could not destroy the solid ice constructed by ice-shaping magic.

Therefore, he chose a more powerful attack method—the Fiery Curse.

He chanted a spell, and black flames burst forth from his fingertips, enveloping and slowly devouring the snow wolves rushing towards him.

The black flames were incredibly powerful, not only completely burning the snow wolves but also vaporizing them, leaving not even ashes behind.

Upon witnessing this scene, Leon's expression turned serious.

[I've never seen such black flames before... He knows ordinary flames have no effect on my ice, so it seems this guy has indeed fought other ice-type mages before.]

Despite his surprise, Leon did not stop. He continued casting spells with one hand, gathering power once more.

"Ice Form: Tiger!" This time, a huge and ferocious tiger appeared before Wes.

This ice tiger was not only exceptionally large, but its strength and speed far surpassed those of the previous wolf pack. With a single leap, it charged at Wes, then pounced on him with lightning speed.

In the past, even Wes might have had difficulty seeing such a high-speed attack.

But since his body was strengthened by a mysterious force, his perception has been greatly enhanced. His eyesight is also better than before, and he can clearly capture every subtle movement of the Ice Tiger.

"Let's give it a try."

Wes silently chanted, condensing the Fiery Blaze into a great black sword. Under his powerful magical control, no excess energy leaked out.

Wes raised the massive black blade and swung it down at the tiger's forehead. He felt no resistance; it was as smooth as cutting tofu.

The tiger was neatly sliced ​​in two, and before it even hit the ground, it was vaporized and vanished without a trace.

Wes swung the black greatsword again to test its power.

I'm still a little unaccustomed to it, and my movements are a bit clumsy.

Leon noticed this as well.

He doesn't seem to be good at hand-to-hand combat.

"Ice Design - Great Eagle"

Leon discovered Wes's weakness and immediately changed tactics, creating numerous highly maneuverable falcons from ice, which swooped down from the sky.

Wes kept swinging his greatsword, eliminating the flying eagles one by one.

Despite his significantly improved physical abilities, he had never received systematic physical training and could only rely on brute force and speed to barely keep up.

Leon maneuvered his eagles into formation, launching wave after wave of attacks. More and more eagles broke through the sword net, heading straight for Wes.

It seems that improving physical skills is not something that can be done overnight.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Just as the eagle was about to approach, Wes released his greatsword.

As soon as the black greatsword landed, it immediately rose up, transforming into a black fire tornado that devoured all the eagles flying in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, Wes waved his hand, and a fire tornado swept towards Leon.

"Get out of the way, Leon!"

Toby watched in horror. He could tell that the black flames were extremely effective against Leon's ice-shaped magic, so he anxiously shouted a warning.

"I can't hide," Leon knew, of course, that his magic was countered, but the pyramid ruins were not far behind him.

If he dodges, the ruins will be exposed to Wes's attack, and he absolutely cannot allow the ritual to be disturbed.

Leon channeled his magic, unusually using both hands.

"Ice Shape Phoenix!" As his incantation fell, a chilling aura spread, and a phoenix took flight, fearlessly swooping down on the fire tornado and blocking it.

Wes, on the other hand, increased his magic output.

The fire tornado grew stronger, and the phoenix retreated step by step.

Sweat dripped from Leon's forehead.

Although his magic was not as strong as Wes's, Leon did not intend to give up. He mobilized all his magic power, and the Ice Phoenix gradually managed to withstand the fire tornado's attack.

"The opportunity has arrived!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Toby launched an attack on Wes, using his signature move – the "Electric Claw".

Wes didn't even glance at him, easily dodging to the side.

Wes hooked Toby's ankle with his right foot, and Toby was tripped and fell to the ground due to the force of the impact.

"Ice-like Design: Great Ape!"

Taking advantage of Wes's moment of distraction, Leon summoned the giant ice ape once more. It pounded its chest and brought its fist, several times larger than Wes's, crashing down from above.
