Only I can make them stronger

All he could think about was saving Leah and Shana as quickly as possible, and... not falling off Karen!

"What are you rubbing!" Karen felt itchy at the strange feeling on her chest, and her upper body felt slightly numb.

"Big...sister!" Xia Ye tried to explain in the wind: "You suddenly...ran so fast! If I don't hold you tight, I feel like...I'm going to fly out at any time!"

"Rogue..." Karen rolled his eyes and said nothing more.

Perhaps this is what left a deep impression on her during the short time that Xia Ye spent together.

Xia Ye is the first person who doesn't make her feel disgusted by this feeling of being "offended".

Perhaps some desires that had been suppressed for more than twenty years were gradually released, and it seemed that even she herself enjoyed it.

…………

“Hu…Hu…Go to hell!” Shana half-knelt on the ground and threw the electric dagger straight into Dillwen’s eyes.

But at this point in the battle, the electric light on the dagger was much weaker than when the fight just started, not to mention the damage it could cause to Dillven.

The latter simply flicked the dagger aside with his hand, and at the same time swung his arm to knock Leah, who was rushing towards him, away again.

In Dillwyn's opinion, Shana was obviously tougher and more ferocious, so he planned to get rid of the big woman first and then torture the brown-skinned woman who didn't look very smart.

In the battle just now, Dillven did not use full firepower in order to reserve strength to deal with the remaining enemies, but even so, Shana and Leah still had no chance.

Under Shana's windbreaker, a large area of frost had condensed on the entire left half of her chest and arm of the combat suit. She could hardly even feel the existence of half of her body.

As for Leah, she looked even more miserable, with ice droplets and dust on her little face. She leaned against the stone wall of the mine tunnel, gasping for breath. Except for her fierce eyes, she seemed to have no strength left in her body.

This area of the mine tunnel has become as cold as an ice cellar under the effect of Dillwyn's ability, and continuous combat in a low-temperature environment is like a chronic poison, which will slowly reduce their physical recovery and physical circulation, leaving them without even the ability to burst out and escape.

At present, it seems that they are in a desperate situation.

Dillwyn was holding an ice crystal knife and walking slowly towards them with cold eyes. In his calculations, in a few seconds, Shana's head would fall to the ground.

At this juncture, Shana and Liya both thought of the same thing at the same time - they just hoped that Xia Ye would not come over!

The strength of this Shadow Claw squadron leader was far beyond their imagination.

From the very beginning, this mission was not something that could be solved by anyone at their level.

Desperate.

But no one knew what response their gratitude had caused. Just as Shana was about to take some truly life-threatening measures to exchange for the other party's life, a golden slash broke through the air.

It was a familiar move again. Dillwyn frowned and turned his head, raising his knife to block the powerful blow.

His current strength is also much lower than the first time he faced Karen, and he dare not take it lightly when facing the opponent's [Suppressive Contact].

The slashing blow dissipated, and Dilven was pushed back a full meter before he could stand still, but Karen had already flown out with the giant sword and chopped at Dilven's head.

"Another one coming to seek death..." His mood, which had just calmed down after knocking down two people, became irritable again. Gorgeous ice flowers quickly spread on Dillven's arms and stretched towards Karen.

【release】!

A fierce cold current rushed over carrying violent elements, but at this moment, another strange change occurred!

The explosive flames that looked even more ferocious than the cold current penetrated the entire mine tunnel and roared towards him!

99. Ice and Fire

"Another accomplice is a fire-attributed spell-like alien. His attack strength is around level two, not worth mentioning..."

Dillwyn immediately determined the intensity of the raging flames, then smiled contemptuously, waiting for the scene of the woman holding the giant sword being frozen to death.

But soon, his smile was frozen on his face, just like his factor ability.

"what!"

The raging flames and the cold current collided with each other, instantly bursting into a sky full of water vapor. The former actually slowed down the speed of the cold current!

Not only that, Dillven clearly felt that the cold element he released was melting away in some strange way!

Although it was slow, the opponent's attack was actually able to challenge mine!

"What the hell... is this!?" His heart was filled with violent waves of shock.

But unfortunately, this shock did not get a chance to get an answer. Karen's fierce attack had already arrived. Dillwyn was unprepared and could only barely raise his knife to block, but he was still forced to retreat several steps.

The [Release] ability was interrupted, and the fire dragon rushed in and swallowed up his figure in an instant. A large amount of steam began to fill the mine, and the temperature, which was as cold as the pole, was slightly relieved.

At this time, Xia Ye walked out slowly from the shadows deep in the mine, panting. The match in his hand was emitting a faint orange light, and he had a relieved expression on his face.

Even he himself did not expect that the ability of [Pyromania] would be so effective when facing Dilvian's attack.

He didn't have time to think about the specific reasons, but at least now, he felt more confident.

"I guess... I caught up..."

"Xia Ye!" Shana and Leah exclaimed in unison, with complicated emotions bursting out of their eyes.

There was worry, emotion, anxiety, and even some tears in the eyes.

They all hoped that Xia Ye could escape from here alive, but they were also moved by Xia Ye's rescue which was like a god descending from heaven.

"I'm sorry, it was my misjudgment that put you in great danger..."

Xia Ye looked at his two women with an apologetic look on his face. Although they were still intact, it was obvious that they were seriously injured.

But just as he was about to admit his mistake, he was ruthlessly interrupted by a violent roar.

"What...a joke!"

Along with this roar, there was also a powerful enough pressure from the rational element to make people feel uncomfortable, and a chill that was enough to penetrate into a person's bones.

A circle of ice-blue light suddenly exploded from around the burning figure, and [Rapid Cooling] was released by Dillven with all his strength, instantly suppressing Xia Ye's [Pyromania] fire.

The two people rushing towards him had already given him a strong sense of crisis; now was not the time to hold back.

Moreover, this inexplicably uncomfortable high temperature completely ignited all the anger in his heart, causing his rational elements to burst out uncontrollably.

He wanted to freeze all these people into ice sculptures, and then smash them into pieces!

"It's not time to chat yet, get ready." From the brief confrontation just now, Karen could see that Xia Ye's ability had a clear suppressive effect on Dilven.

Although she didn't know why, at least she saw the hope of victory!

"I understand..." Xia Ye gave Leah and Shana a reassuring look, then raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Dillven.

At this time, his eyes were bloodshot, and a large amount of white cold air was coming out of his body, like an evil ghost crawling out of an icy hell.

"Be careful, his main target must be you." Karen approached Xia Ye vigilantly and whispered in front of him. The latter nodded, his attention highly focused.

Dillwyn stared at the two of them and took a deep breath.

And when the breath was exhaled, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Fighting in a small space is highly threatening in both the combat domain and the spell-like domain, and he is proficient in both!

Karen subconsciously raised his sword and slashed horizontally, and the collision between the giant sword and the ice knife made a sharp sound of metal clashing.

"【Extreme Counterattack】!" "【Rapid Cooling】!"

Two shouts rang out almost simultaneously, and Karen's body flashed with golden light, ready to use his ability to strike back at Dillwyn.

Unfortunately, the opponent's ability was activated faster. The golden light was killed in the cradle as soon as it rose. The transparent ice crystals were instantly transmitted to the big sword and began to spread rapidly towards Karen's body.

In close combat, Dillven has never been afraid of anyone of the same level, let alone those who are one level lower than him!

But Xia Ye was not the kind of person who would just stand there stupidly. He lightly waved the match, and the sparks in the blink of an eye turned into ferocious fire snakes and rushed straight towards Dillwyn.

"Here it comes again!" The familiar feeling of melting came again. Dillven cursed and quickly prepared to withdraw.

But as soon as he withdrew his hand, Karen immediately activated his third-level ability. Steam came out of his body, and [Relief of Suppression] flew out of his hand again. The golden blade of light slashed towards Dilven at lightning speed.

With a loud "bang", the attack hit the target and Dillven was knocked flying several meters away. When he fell to the ground, he smelled the blood on his face.

This was the first time Dillven had been injured since the battle began.

But this was not what made him most angry.

He saw that the hateful man named Xia Ye casually patted Karen on the back, and the latter immediately recovered from his slightly tired and weak state.

What kind of weirdo is this man!

Could it be that he possesses both fire attribute and healing effect factor abilities?

Is this reasonable?

Dillwyn didn't know the answer to this question, but he knew that with this man around, he was really going to fall into the gutter.

"In that case..." However, Dillven is not a rookie in the field of combat. Since it is difficult to break through from the front, he is not without other methods.

I saw ice cones quickly condensing around his body, and in a moment they formed a large area.

"Are you ready to use medium-range attacks to suppress the firepower..."

Xia Ye narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party. The dense ice cones looked very oppressive.

No words were needed, as ice cones shot out one by one towards Xia Ye without any warning.

Although the strength of each ice cone was not very high, Xia Ye could melt them easily, and with Karen blocking in front, they did not pose much of a threat.

But the problem is that Xia Ye doesn’t have much mental energy left.

Although he had saved a lot of mental energy during the march by relying on the hub function of [Exterminator No. 9] and barely recovered %, since the battle began, his mental energy was used up quickly under the tremendous consumption of Dilven's physical energy.

Once his mental strength was exhausted, not to mention whether he could still stay awake, without [Pyromania], Karen alone would find it difficult to contend with the furious Dilven.

For a while, the battle was in a stalemate.

This is an open conspiracy, but the possession of rational elements is one of the privileges of the strong.

"If this continues, he will kill me!" Xia Ye said to the front, "My power will not last long!"

"Then let's fight him!" Karen gritted her teeth. She also felt something was wrong.

"I will burst out once, so that his ice cones cannot break through my fire defense line temporarily. You take this opportunity to attack with all your strength and try to seriously injure him. At least make him stop his fire suppression!"

"understand!"

In a few words, the two decided on the tactics. Xia Ye did not hesitate and directly invested most of his remaining mental power. The flames exploded violently, swallowing up a large number of ice cones and melting them, forming a wall of fire to block in front of him.

Karen's body was emitting steam and golden light, and he raised his heavy sword and was ready to charge.

But at this moment, the ice cone's attack stopped.

Looking up, there was no one beside Dillven.

"Did he run out of the rational element first? No...that's not right, his rational element force field is still there...what is he going to do?" The sudden change made Karen stop again.

An ominous premonition rose in her heart.

As if to confirm her guess, Dillven suddenly laughed grimly.

"Haha...hahahaha! When facing a high-level enemy, even if one's abilities are restrained, one will definitely be anxious because of the capacity of the rational element and decide to give it a try... Exactly what I thought."

"You... lost!"

100. Knowledge is power

As soon as he finished speaking, Dillven activated his ability again, but this time, what appeared were no longer ice cones distributed around him, but ice spike balls distributed around Xia Ye and Karen!

[Ice Crystal Configuration] is Dillwyn's first-level ability, and is also a very common low-level ability in the ice attribute spell domain. Its effect is to simply change the ice crystal structure to make it become what you want.

Even with the help of rational elements, the combat effect of this ability is actually quite limited. It is an ability that is good at bullying weak opponents but not good enough for strong attacks.

But at this moment, due to the venue, this ability has become extremely dangerous——

The explosion of fire from Xia Ye just now caused many ice cones to melt instantly, thus creating a large amount of water vapor in the air around him!

The concentration of water vapor makes Dillven's physical element conduction more convenient, and the activation speed is faster and the consumption is lower!

In this case, combined with the effect of [rapid cooling], he can create a large number of [ice crystal structures] around the enemy in an instant!

These ubiquitous ice spikes were his real killer move to kill Xia Ye.

"Before you die, I have one last question for you: who ordered you to do this?" The extremely oppressive ice thorn balls turned the entire space into Dillwen's home court. Once these thorn balls were concentrated on Xia Ye, he would have no chance of survival.

Even if Xia Ye melted them with fire again, he could still create a second round of concentrated shooting.

For Xia Ye, this battle has become a dead end.
