But the case was different at this moment. The Bloody Lich didn’t expect Xiuban to do that at all. Carrying a terrifying momentum, Carnage flew quickly, and hit one of the bones.
Even though the weapon seemed unstoppable, it only slightly deviated one of the condensed bones.
The deviation happened to have been imposed at the most critical timing of the spell when it wasn’t fully cast yet. The bones that had already been condensed hit one another. They were just like dominoes which collapsed when a tiny bit of force was imposed on the tile in the front end.
Instantly, the spell collapsed…
The casting was not just disrupted; the spell simply collapsed. It was much more serious than the disruption of casting.
Carnage was knocked away, but the Bloody Lich’s spell collapsed too. The recoil hit the Bloody Lich, and obliterated his lower body, leaving no remains whatsoever.
If the Bloody Lich hadn’t dodged in time right before the magic recoil collapsed, he would’ve already died, and nothing left from him could possibly be found…
After surviving the crisis, the power of death in the Bloody Lich’s body was going out of control again…
The level-44 beastman almost killed him with one strike. The Bloody Lich was exasperated. If he hadn’t known that he might truly explode because of fury, he would’ve relentlessly attacked and killed Xiuban.
Lin Yun watched the drama from the distance, and Enderfa grinned and mocked him.
“Is this lich an idiot? You guys don’t even dare to move, yet he was bold enough to cast a level-10 spell. Did he really think that the Curse of Misfortune meant nothing? Even gods have to respect the Lord of Misfortune’s ability, even though it doesn’t work on most of them.
“Still, there are gods who cannot completely resist the Curse of Misfortune. That idiot may truly get killed by Xiuban in the end…”
The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel had been damaged by the Bloody Lich. At this moment, Enderfa’s other two faces were repairing it, and it would take more time. Enderfa had been melted with the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel. He wouldn’t die until the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel was destroyed, and he would only get stronger.
The first time he was wounded after becoming extraordinary was because of the Bloody Lich. Enderfa had every reason to be angry.
Agalon and Alonzo had both recovered. The three deans gathered around too. However, none of them dared to attack easily, especially after they witnessed how the Bloody Lich was almost killed in the uncanny accident. Just let the guy who wasn’t cursed kill the Bloody Lich. At this moment, nobody suspected that Xiuban couldn’t kill the Bloody Lich.
Technically speaking, Xiuban wouldn’t be the one who killed the Bloody Lich. He was just a factor to cause changes. If anything changed, accidents would happen to the Bloody Lich and kill him.
Xiuban was quite shocked that Carnage destroyed the Bloody Lich’s lower body after he threw it away because of fear. He didn’t know the coincidences behind the result, which shouldn’t have happened, at all.
Grabbing Carnage that he’d just thrown away, Xiuban grinned.
“Hey, hideous dry corpse, come on. Fight me for another 300 rounds. My Carnage is already craving blood. Come on. Let me smash your head. Don’t worry. I’ll be so fast that you won’t feel any pain at all.
“Damn you, you’re not as strong as you look. You got me. Idiot, stop running. Damn it, I just told you to stop running…”
Holding Carnage, Xiuban chased after the Bloody Lich across the skeleton battlefield. The Bloody Lich’s remaining upper body was almost exploding. He could hardly control his emotions anymore.
Having lived such a long life, the Bloody Lich was usually calm and poised no matter what happened. Nevertheless, he was still about to explode because of fury. From the wound on his waist, a tremendous amount of power of death erupted like gray mist. It almost seemed that the Bloody Lich was moving fast with the help of the power of death as a jet.
Xiuban was only level-44. If the Bloody Lich was determined to run, it would be impossible for Xiuban to catch up with him, even though the skeleton battlefield wasn’t very large.
Xiuban couldn’t catch up with the Bloody Lich, so Reina flew out too. She floated in midair, and sprayed a handful of ice. Instantly, it was snowing across the entire battlefield. The temperature was plummeting. In only three seconds, the surface of the battlefield was covered in white.
Water and frost were gathered. The air was so freezing that all elements except frost were slowed down. The fire elements, which were supposed to be violent and active, seemed quite drowsy. Mages below the Heaven Rank couldn’t even possibly cast a fire spell that was above level 3 here.
Even the power of death seemed to be greatly affected. After Reina threw out three handfuls of ice, snow was falling everywhere. The entire world was covered in ice and snow. A dozen seconds later, it stopped snowing.
The battlefield had turned into a glacier field, where it was so cold that even iron would be frozen and crumble. In such a temperature, even a piece of steel might fall apart easily.
The coldness didn’t really affect anyone here. Lin Yun and the others were floating on the surface of the snow with nothing but their Fusion Shield, because that shield was the least likely to go wrong. No Heaven Rank mages’ Fusion Shield ever went wrong when it wasn’t hit by anything…
By protecting themselves in such a way, they were the least likely to suffer from the Curse of Misfortune.
The Bloody Lich, who was being chased by Xiuban who was like a rabid dog, wasn’t as lucky. Even though Reina only cast another ice spells randomly, an accident happened…
Ice spells were just lowly spells in the hands of mages, but for Reina, such spells didn’t have level limits. Her ice spells were as powerful as the mages’ level-9 spells. Each of her spells could display the ultimate effects of ice spells.
Ice spells were, in a way, Reina’s talent ability. It was different from when she cast them earlier.
When she cast such spells before, the ice spells were only more powerful than usual because of the enhancement of the Frost Dragon’s bloodline.
The same ice spells would be more powerful when they were used by Frost Dragons. They were usually half a level more powerful than they should be, which was the Frost Dragons’ greatest reliance in battles.
However, the power and performance of her spells were so much more impressive than before that it was like the difference between a drake and a Chromatic Dragon.
Drakes were not acknowledged as dragons. They were only magical beasts that carried dragon bloodlines, as defined by both human mages and dragons. It was only because drakes weren’t strong enough. Some powerful drakes with mutated bloodlines had their special names.
That difference was exactly that between the old Reina and the new Reina. It was not about the level, but about the bloodline.
After casting a dozen ice spells, Reina stopped attacking because the ice spells were already taking effect…
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for the ice to approach within a kilometer of the Bloody Lich. Even though Reina’s bloodline was astonishingly great, the Bloody Lich could’ve squeezed her to death easily from 1,000 kilometers away in a real battle.
However, having learned a good lesson, the Bloody Lich did not dare to use any powerful spells. He didn’t even dare to use a level-9 spell, not to mention a level-10 one. He only used the spells to keep himself flying at a high speed.
A dozen ice spells had surrounded him in a semicircle like a dozen tiny ice spikes. It seemed quite easy to escape.
But the Bloody Lich didn’t dare to be careless. When he almost escaped, Xiuban caught up to him, and rumbled right behind him.
“Old dry corpse, stop running. Come on. Be a good lad, and let me break your head. If you keep running, I’ll really burst into fury…”
Xiuban chased after the Bloody Lich relentlessly as if the Bloody Lich were his nemesis. In particular, when he saw that Lin Yun, Agalon, and the others were all watching from a distance, he couldn’t be more infuriated.
Damn it, this dry corpse is a good runner. He almost tricked me. He’s already dying, yet I’ve wasted so much time catching up to him. Sir Merlin is watching, Marianna is watching, and Sir Merlin’s teacher is watching too…
So many people are watching me, yet I haven’t killed this old dry corpse that can only run in such a long time…
The more he thought about it, the more embarrassed and infuriated he became…
His rumbling roar caused an unexpected change. One of the tiny spikes of ice exploded, and evaporated into icy mist.. Then, it seemed to be slightly pushed aside by the sound waves Xiuban produced.
