“Extreme Frost Ice Spear!”
“Holy Light Piercing Arrow!”
Dozens of magical beams, each glowing with different colors, shot out from every corner of the golden web like a brilliant meteor shower.
They trailed long tails as they screamed through the air, striking at the only weakness on the Abyss Lord’s head from tricky angles with pinpoint accuracy.
The figure of [Shadowfang Breaker] moved like a phantom.
He sprinted across the Abyss Lord’s back—broader than a football field—his twin blades sparking a screeching trail across the massive scales.
Though he couldn’t inflict any real damage, he succeeded in drawing the Abyss Lord’s enormous attention.
The Abyss Lord was clearly enraged by these bothersome flies.
It let out an impatient roar, swinging its giant head in an attempt to scatter the magical beams with a gust of wind.
The movement seemed clumsy, but due to its colossal size, even the slightest shift of its head meant the target moved hundreds of meters in an instant for the tiny attackers!
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Most of the magical attacks missed, crashing helplessly against the Abyss Lord’s armored scales and exploding into weak bursts of energy, leaving only a few faint white marks.
Only a handful of attacks managed to graze the edge of the wound, sending up sprays of dark green blood.
“This can’t go on!”
The voice of [Sage of Jingwei] rang out again, tinged with urgency.
“Its regeneration is far beyond our imagination! The tiny bit of damage we’ve inflicted can’t even keep up with its healing! We must restrain its movements!”
Faroshir’s heart sank.
Of course, she understood this truth.
But how could they restrain a moving mountain?
[Sage of Jingwei] took a deep breath, his hands weaving complex seals as he began chanting an ancient, guttural incantation.
The space around him distorted, and golden chains of law, thicker and more solid than before, materialized from thin air.
Like a pack of golden spirit serpents hunting a giant whale, they whirled toward the Abyss Lord’s towering head!
“Order Law: Divine Lock of Ten-Thousand Tons!”
This was his trump card—a top-tier control spell.
The golden chains wrapped tightly around the Abyss Lord’s neck and jaw, then yanked back with tremendous force!
The head that had been thrashing moments before was jerked to a halt by this invisible power!
“Now! Full attack!”
Faroshir’s piercing scream echoed once more.
Everyone seized the fleeting opportunity, unleashing their gathered mana in a torrent!
Dozens of the strongest attacks converged into a multicolored flood, tearing through the air straight for the bleeding wound!
Yet, all of them underestimated the terror of the Sixth Apostle.
“ROOOAAARRRR——!!!!!!”
A roar of absolute power and primal rage exploded from the Abyss Lord’s throat!
It stopped dodging.
From every gap between its scales, black miasma erupted!
The golden chains wrapped around its head screamed under the overwhelming force, spiderweb cracks spreading across their surface before—
They shattered, inch by inch!
“PUH——!”
Far atop the mountain, [Sage of Jingwei] was struck as if by a heavy blow, vomiting a mouthful of blood.
His face went deathly pale, body swaying violently as he nearly toppled from the peak.
Spell Rebound!
The backlash from the broken curse struck him full force.
Not only that, the golden web shielding everyone began to flicker and hum, losing stability without its caster’s support.
Despair descended once more.
All attacks missed again.
Within the Abyss Lord’s emerald eyes, the mocking look of a victor gleamed.
It opened its massive jaws, this time to unleash a breath that would erase the entire region from the map.
It’s over… This time, it’s truly over…
Faroshir stared at the abyssal maw and the dark green energy sphere within, her heart chilled to the core.
She could even smell the burning stench in the air.
Her subordinates, her comrades—they would all be reduced to ash beneath this attack.
A desperate resolve, mingled with despair and madness, erupted from the deepest part of Faroshir’s soul like a volcano!
Her body trembled violently with emotion, and in those icy blue eyes, two pale flames ignited—flames that seemed to freeze the soul itself!
“In the name of the Godsworn…”
Her voice turned ethereal and distant, as if no longer of this world.
The temperature around her plummeted with unnatural speed.
Tiny, rainbow-hued ice crystals began to condense in the air.
She raised her Frost Snow Ingle high, the ice-blue gemstone in the hilt blazing with a radiance brighter than the sun, yet colder than death!
“…I beseech the Eternal Winter’s Authority, and welcome the Silent Sovereignty!”
The sky changed in an instant.
The once-clear heavens deepened into a profound, shadowy blue.
A phantom, immense ice moon materialized overhead.
Holy and cold moonlight cascaded down like a waterfall, pouring into Faroshir’s body.
Her pale blue hair flowed as if alive, each strand shimmering with divine frost.
This was a Forbidden Spell.
A supreme divine art that could alter the heavens, unleashed only by those blessed by the gods of ice and snow, and paid for with the very essence of one’s life!
“Absolute Zero: Eternal Ice Coffin!!!”
The blade of the Frost Snow Ingle pointed forward—not at the small wound, but at the Abyss Lord’s massive, continent-sized body!
This was not magic.
This was… Divine Judgment!
At that moment, it was as if the world itself had been frozen.
Centered on Faroshir’s hovering form, a flood of visible white frost roared outward like a broken dam.
Dry grass atop the highlands instantly frosted over.
Crystals formed in the cracks between rocks.
Even the airborne dust was transformed into shimmering blue ice shards.
The Abyss Lord’s enormous serpentine body thrashed violently.
But the instant the divine frost touched its green scales, all movement ceased.
“Krrr…Krak-krrra…”
The gut-wrenching sound of freezing spread from the Abyss Lord’s surface.
Deep blue ice blossomed, as if the finest artist painted a frozen masterpiece on the colossal canvas.
Muscles once bulging with power froze solid.
Veins once swollen with rage were encased in thick, translucent ice.
Each heartbeat, each breath—stolen by the absolute zero.
In mere seconds, the sky-rending beast was transformed into a majestic, monstrous sculpture of ice.
Its gaping maw remained, golden eyes locked in eternal fury and unwillingness, but the body moved no more.
Sunlight refracted through the immense ice coffin, casting a kaleidoscope of deadly brilliance across the blood-soaked earth—like the descent of a divine kingdom.
Faroshir’s face was ashen, sweat beading on her brow, freezing in the air before it could fall.
To unleash such a forbidden spell was a wager with her own life.
Her chest heaved, each breath exhaling clouds of icy mist as if even her lungs were freezing.
Yet her gaze remained sharp as an eagle, unwavering.
“Now!”
Her voice was hoarse from exhaustion.
“Attack with everything!”
The magic girls and Red Dragon Guards shook off their shock, instinct for survival and absolute trust in the Godsworn spurring them into action.
They surged toward the frozen giant, desperation and resolve mingling on their faces.
“Fireball Spell!”
“Lightning Blade!”
“Armor-Piercing Arrow!”
Spells and arrows of every attribute rained down in a torrent upon the Abyss Lord’s frozen form.
[Sage of Jingwei] snapped out of his daze from the Spell Rebound, chanting a flurry of complex incantations as golden runes orbited him.
“Divine Blessing of Strength!”
“Precision Calibration!”
“Anti-Magic Enhancement!”
Multiple support spells landed on the magic girls, making their attacks sharper and stronger.
The scales of victory seemed to tip toward humanity.
But as everyone focused their all on the Abyss Lord, fighting for that single hope, none noticed a subtle distortion in a shadow at the edge of the battlefield.
As a top assassin-type player, [Shadowfang Breaker]’s instincts and profession made him hyper-aware of anomalies in his surroundings.
His gaze swept the battlefield, finally locking onto a spot behind Faroshir—where the air shimmered like heat haze.
An ambush!
[Shadowfang Breaker]’s heart clenched, cold dread shooting up his spine.
He almost reflexively prepared to use his skill to rush over!
But it was too late.
A twisted black hole formed midair.
In the blink of an eye, a massive monster Griffin burst from the darkness, its talons flashing as it lunged straight at Faroshir!
