Green Monster Epic

Chapter 1017 Collision

Just as he plunged into the clouds, a surge of powerful magic rippled outwards. The white clouds, which should have only contained a scattering of water vapor, suddenly transformed into a vast ocean. Endless, icy currents crashed against Allen's body, trapping him within this watery expanse and making it difficult to exert any force. However, having trained in the deep sea for many years, Allen was no stranger to this situation. Calmly and collectedly, he unleashed a sword strike, instantly stirring up a turbulent undercurrent within the watery prison. As Allen's movements grew faster, the undercurrent transformed into a vortex, whipping up a tornado.

"… … bion … …"

In the distance, Sidney suddenly fired a white ray. Simultaneously, several scrolls hidden at the edge of the clouds were activated by the Mage Hand, unleashing a frigid gale that caused huge chunks of solid ice to form in an instant, slowly beginning their free fall.

Surrounded by the water currents, Allen felt the gentle flow gradually thicken, transforming into a solid block of ice in just a couple of breaths.

The ice encased Allen's body as it slowly plummeted towards the earth. Not satisfied, Sidney spent two more scrolls and combined them with a spell to create an iceberg, which he then slammed down on top of the ice sphere containing Allen, accelerating his descent.

Having completed all of this, Sidney immediately fled into the distance. He knew very well that these measures would only slow his opponent down for five or six breaths at most, and the time he wasted would only buy him two or three breaths of extra escape time.

Boom!

Crack, crack, crack!

Shedding the ice in two breaths less than Sidney had anticipated, Allen once again pursued Sidney's direction. The small distance he had managed to create was closed again after a dozen or so breaths.

In the distance, another dense and continuous cloud layer appeared. A flash of joy crossed Sidney's face as he slightly adjusted his course and flew towards it. Although Allen, who was closely following behind, was unwilling, he dared not take a detour. After all, his opponent only had a few legendary scrolls and a handful of seventh, eighth, and ninth-tier spells. Even if they could hold him back, it would only be for a few breaths. But detouring around this cloud layer would cost Allen more than a dozen breaths, which was clearly not worth it.

Even though breaking through his opponent's spells, scrolls, and traps would also cost him the divine power he had painstakingly accumulated.

The cloud mass was right in front of him. A cold glint flashed in Allen's eyes as he raised his greatsword high, golden light rippling along the blade as he brought it down in a single strike. The overwhelming cloud layer instantly vanished without a trace. Even the human Saint-level Archmage, who was frantically running away in front, felt the intense threat and couldn't help but turn around to cast a set of protective scrolls on himself, chanting incantations to conjure an iceberg in front of him to block the terrifying strike.

World Cleaver!

Dong!

Boom!

The sky was filled with drifting snowflakes. The newly formed iceberg, along with the dozen or so ice shields around Sidney and the various mixed protective spells, were almost completely shattered by Allen's strike. In the end, Sidney had to use a life-saving legendary spell—the Ice Barrier—using his magic-infused blood as the material to freeze himself in a crimson block of ice. Only then did he finally withstand the attack of the World Cleaver.

Taking advantage of the vacuum created by the sword strike in front of him, Allen augmented his domain power and swiftly chased forward, finally closing the distance between them to within a thousand meters once more.

Seeing this, Sidney, sealed within the solid ice, punched the ice, causing fine cracks to appear on the surface of the crystal-clear block. These cracks then transformed into sharp arrows, flying straight towards Allen's pursuing figure, the whistling sound of the wind breaking startling countless birds on the ground.

Allen twirled his greatsword in his hand, occasionally shattering any ice arrows that slipped through the greatsword's intercepting net with a punch from his left hand. Once his body's aura had calmed down, he immediately returned the favor. Although he couldn't use great killing moves like World Cleaver and Saint Slayer for the time being, mid- to long-range sword techniques like Instant Kill and Divine Power Blade were still enough to harm the humans in the distance.

"Ha!"

"Die!"

Just as his body's muscles and blood vessels had finally calmed down again, Allen suddenly exerted force once more, channeling all the accumulated judgment power into his greatsword. A golden ray, with the greatsword's seemingly effortless yet decisive downward slash, shot straight towards the human figure in the distance, which had once again conjured a dozen or so ice shields, mixed with many other attribute magic shields.

Feeling the terrifying killing intent behind him once again, Sidney's heart turned cold. He immediately unleashed the technique he had been brewing in his mind.

The magical gloves on his hands, inlaid with several dove-egg-sized white jewels, glowed intensely. Then, the hard jewels shattered on the spot, and tiny snowflakes swelled rapidly in the wind. The hexagonal magic array formed by the six-sided shapes was clearly visible. After six snowflakes stacked to the height of a person, they began to frantically absorb the surrounding ice-type elements. Coincidentally, Sidney was frantically throwing out over a hundred scrolls from his dimensional pouch. Not caring which ones were ice- or water-type magic, he tore them all apart and converted them into pure magic vibrations.

The magic models sealed in the scrolls didn't even have time to unfold. The magic elements sealed together with the magic models were taken away by the six large snowflakes. In the end, the magic models failed due to the lack of magic element participation, but the magic elements in front of Sidney became even more intense, even seeming to materialize from the intangible.

Under the control of Sidney's remaining mental power, the six snowflakes once again constructed a hexagonal magic array in front of him. The snowflakes themselves began to rotate automatically without wind, and at the same time, the infinite magic they absorbed spewed out from the center. The six rapidly rotating snowflakes gradually dissipated into the heavens and earth, and a seemingly weak cold wind blew fiercely towards Allen's direction.

In the places where the cold wind slowly blew, the entire space seemed to become very different. The seemingly empty space was directly frozen, and the white air exhaled by Sidney remained at the moment of dissipation, never able to dissipate again.

Ice Age!

Crack, crack, crack!

Describing the actions of the two Saints at this time requires many words, but in reality, these actions only took a split second when they were performed. Just as the golden light fiber from Allen's greatsword shot towards Sidney, about to pierce the human mage's fragile body across the distance of less than a thousand meters, the golden light stopped less than ten meters in front of Sidney, as if the whole thing was frozen in this space.

But if you looked closely, you would find that the golden light, which contained a huge amount of divine power, was actually slowly advancing towards the space where his opponent was, but its speed had changed from ten thousand miles in an instant to a snail's pace. It was not known how long it would take to reach the human body ten meters away.

Following the golden light's path, twisted black lightning continued to spread and expand, soon devouring the light of this world, and eternal darkness enveloped most of the sky. But it soon encountered a formidable enemy. Highly destructive space cracks pounced towards the space where Sidney was like a coiled snake, but when they rushed to the space ten meters in front of him, they were like huge waves encountering a embankment. The cracks that could tear space could no longer advance, forming a clear dividing line in front of Sidney.

Moreover, the dividing line in front of Sidney was still devouring the area of the space cracks with that faint cold wind, carrying an unstoppable will, slowly drifting towards Allen's direction.

Allen's body directly rushed into the space cracks. The absolute physical strength, coupled with the protective ability of the Black Dragon Scale Armor, ignored the powerful killing power of the space cracks, as well as the extremely dangerous magic turbulence in the space channel, and appeared in front of Sidney's invisible wall in the blink of an eye.

With the heavy sword extended in front of him, and pushing forward, in his current chaotic state after just unleashing the Saint-Slaying Ultimate, the strongest sword technique he could muster again – Instant Kill – overlapped with the golden light slowly wriggling forward within the spatial tear, and thrust out unreservedly.

Gaa gaa ~ ~ squeak squeak ~ ~ ~

The tip of the heavy sword, Bone Cleaver, infused with massive amounts of gold essence, touched this dividing line, as if piercing the most solid object in the world. Allen's outstretched arms pushed him backward, while the blade in his hand, imbued with immense power, only managed to penetrate less than three centimeters into the dividing line. However, the slow-moving golden light, receiving another powerful boost from its source, gained a slight increase in speed.

Crack! !

The straight dividing line finally showed a gap. The intact space shattered like ice chips falling from a solid block of ice, with several transparent spatial fragments scattering in all directions. One of these fragments merely brushed past Allen's face, yet a line of frost appeared on his powerful cheek, quickly spreading across his body until it was melted by a surge of divine power flames rising from within him, halting its advance.

At this moment, the left half of Allen's face, grazed by the fragment, was already frozen solid. Even the energy-transformed cells completely lost their activity in this extreme cold.

And those fragments that eventually fell freely, landing on the earth, instantly caused frost and ice crystals to rapidly proliferate upon contact. Within minutes, the land within Allen's sight was covered in frozen frost.

Countless innocent creatures that had lived on this land for countless years, moments before frantically scurrying around in panic, were instantly transformed into lifelike ice crystal sculptures. Birds with sharp, instinctive senses sensed the danger early and fluttered their wings, trying to escape the invisible aura of death, but their silhouettes, flitting across the ground, were unknowingly covered in fragments of frost, ultimately having their lives silently taken away.

Thud! !

Lifelike birds, still with their wings spread, fell from the sky, landing on the snow-white, crystalline ground, ultimately shattering into dust.

“Roar! ! !”

Allen, his face grim and eyes blazing, let out a thunderous roar. Then, he abruptly released his right hand from the sword hilt, raising a bear-like paw high above his head and drawing an arc behind him. A ferocious palm suddenly slammed down on the end of the hilt, the mighty physical strength mixed with divine power pouring into the blade, forcibly embedding the blade further into the Sidney's spatial barrier, like a transparent glass wall.

Pa! ! ! !

“Hiss! ! !”

Taking a deep breath, Allen squeezed out every last strand of spiritual power from his body. Combined with the anger and will within him, the surging faith power erupted forth again, and a newborn divine power formed a raging golden divine flame around Allen's body.

However, the divine flame quickly subsided, and with Allen's right hand, a bear-like paw raised high again, falling decisively, the surging divine power, like a waterfall cascading from the heavens, finally carried Allen's entire being through the dividing line before him, entering the opponent's icy magic that could even freeze time and space.

As his last resort was being used, Sidney himself was actually in a state of immobility. As an ice-attribute Saint-level mage, he still maintained the last action of casting his magic, his body unknowingly covered in frost, as if draped in a layer of ice armor.

His opened eyes reflected the scene before him back to his brain. The only thing Sidney could autonomously control now was his own will. Seeing Allen finally break through the resistance of the heavy sword's Ice Age powerful magic, a trace of panic finally surfaced in his heart.

Powerful defensive magic naturally has powerful side effects, and even the caster is not immune.

Fortunately, although Allen broke through the barrier, his movements were still countless times slower than before, as if entering an extremely viscous space, or a space where time was slowed down many times.

Sidney silently counted the remaining time of the Dimensional Anchor effect applied to his body, while staring at the green-faced, ferocious goblin opponent with bulging veins, raising his sword and coming closer and closer. Both their brains were working at full speed.

Time ticked by, and Allen's movements gradually began to speed up. The golden light, which had pierced the space a moment earlier, had already reached the opponent, only a dozen centimeters away from his frost-covered face.

Sidney didn't even need spiritual perception to directly feel the power contained within that golden light. Even though this power was consuming a large amount of energy in colliding with the magic in order to clear the way for Allen behind, and the light was slowly dimming, it was still enough to pose a huge threat to Sidney.

When the Saint-Slaying golden light finally pierced the frost at the center of Sidney's brow, the ice crystals shattered, also scratching the human face beneath the frost. Sidney vibrated his soul to utter a formless magical syllable: “… … shak … … ”

Boom! !

Ka ka ka ~ ~ ~

The magically frozen space suddenly became clear. It felt as if countless pieces of glass were being shattered around their bodies, with pieces of transparent but seemingly invisible fragments flying everywhere. Then, infinite magic power vibrated back and forth in this sealed space, eventually expanding and forming a spatial explosion! !

A huge black sphere enveloped the space where Allen and Sidney were located, and countless huge, twisted tentacles grew out, sweeping across the earth. Feynman's will, which had long been paying attention to this place, ruthlessly and coldly began to repair the damage while imposing the strongest shackles on the two instigators.

Emerging from the spatial rift, Allen leaned back, desperately bracing the heavy sword in his hands. The激荡激荡冰寒魔力与空间紊流left countless gaps and sparks on his body and scales. Even a Saint would need to resist with all their might to barely maintain their shape against the enormous impact.

The two Saints' most powerful methods clashed head-on. Now it seemed to be a draw. The energy contained in Allen's Saint-Slaying sword technique was completely annihilated, and the opponent's Ice Age magic ultimately failed to harm Allen.

However, compared to Allen's predicament, Sidney, with his weaker physical strength, was even more miserable. His expensive magical equipment was now tattered and torn, like a beggar's rags, and he would probably have to replace it with new equipment in the future. Moreover, his snow-white and delicate skin was covered in dense wounds, and the dark red blood spurted out as if it were free, quickly brightening Sidney's already pale skin even further.

“Die! ! ”

After enduring the peak of the shockwave, Allen continued to exert force with his legs in the void. His strong and slender body advanced instead of retreating, pushing the heavy sword in front of him, and shot straight over.

Seeing this, Sidney, his face as pale as a vampire, although fear was evident in his eyes, did not lose his composure. His severely injured arms waved and circled, and the blood and flesh flowing out of his body, carrying a faint magical aura, were immediately attracted. As he took out another semi-divine artifact, a crystal ball surging with magic power, he immediately wrapped a large amount of blood and water around it and flung it towards Allen.

Afraid that this was not enough to ensure his safety, a resolute look flashed in Sidney's eyes. He pinched two fingers of his right hand together, condensed the last trace of magic power in his body to form an ice sword, and resolutely chopped off his own left arm at the elbow.

Whirr ~ ~

A severed hand separated from Sidney's body amidst the splashing blood, and was then thrown fiercely by him in front of the charging Allen. The ice sword between his fingers detached and lightly collided with the basketball-sized crystal ball.

Crack! !

A crack appeared on the surface of the pure and flawless crystal ball. Then, with a low shout from Sidney, another surge of magic power sprayed out from the crystal ball, immediately generating ice crystals upon contact with Sidney's own flesh and blood.

“Seal! ! !”
