Mass Hold Spell is a 7th-tier spell.
The guards outside are all professionists above the third tier. The fact that they are completely unaware indicates that a unique technique was used to cast the spell instantaneously. Instantaneous casting requires raising the spell level by three tiers, meaning this instantaneous “Mass Hold Spell” is as difficult as a legendary spell. The middle-aged woman, upon noticing the anomaly outside, could quickly conclude that they were facing a legendary-level wizard or priest.
Some priests with special abilities can also use Mass Hold Spell.
The middle-aged woman didn’t have time to do anything when she saw several shadows sh**t out from both sides of the road, followed by a flash of cold light. The guards above the third tier, and many even reaching the fourth tier, simply watched as their enemies cut their throats, dying with their eyes wide open before foes that were never their match. The legendary figure casting the spell from the shadows possessed a high level, and the strength of the spell’s willpower exemption made these high-tier melee professionists completely annihilated!
They couldn’t move an inch, being slaughtered like chickens and dogs, their hearts pierced and throats cut.
The bloody massacre took place outside the carriage.
The middle-aged woman reacted incredibly quickly, almost immediately retreating and opening a scroll, then grabbing the lovely girl beside her, preparing to teleport away. As the princess of Arendelle, she surely had extremely expensive teleportation scrolls ready, which could be used to escape in a critical moment. Such scrolls are outrageously expensive, just the cost of spell transcription alone could reach tens of thousands of Gind, and for long-distance teleportation, the cost could multiply several times.
However, the next moment, the middle-aged woman’s expression turned very grim. The spell light on the scroll flickered and then disappeared.
— “Dimensional Cage!”
The enemy had already made full preparations, sealing off all nearby dimensional spaces before making a move.
“Princess Anna.” The middle-aged woman’s expression became resolute as she drew two short swords from her legs. Then, she quietly told the girl at her side, “I’ll hold them off; when you get out of the carriage, run to Ice River City. The lord of Ice River City is a friend of Arendelle; there are legendary-level professionists stationed there.”
The lovely girl’s face slightly paled. She opened her mouth to say something, but the middle-aged woman had already activated an item, making her form vanish from the spot.
— “Greater Invisibility Spell!”
— “Greater Acceleration Spell!”
— “Greater Agility Spell!”
— “Greater Energy Protection!”
— “Greater Mage Armor!”
Five spell lights appeared in succession, and the girl’s figure completely disappeared. The middle-aged woman had no time to say more and abruptly dashed out of the carriage, lunging towards the surrounding enemies. A blast of frost erupted around her, sharp ice blades cutting one enemy into a mass of meat, sizzling arcs of electricity jumping wildly. The visible arcs of electricity paralyzed all enemies within thirty feet, their flesh singed from the electric shock. The middle-aged woman’s movements were exceptionally agile; the short sword swiftly cut open one enemy’s throat, and with a leap, she pierced the second enemy.
The carriage’s curtain twitched slightly.
But no figures could be seen, as if a breeze had passed by, and there were no footprints left on the ground.
A beam of spell light suddenly shot towards the empty air.
The middle-aged woman shouted loudly. A spell light suddenly appeared on the buttons of her clothing, shifting her three meters horizontally in an instant to block the beam.
She froze unnaturally in place!
A masked assassin lunged forward with a dagger aimed at her heart, but it stopped just thirty centimeters from her body.
Spell energy protection field.
The spellcaster who had been hiding in the shadows finally revealed herself, cloaked in black, with pointed ears visible, a characteristic of the elf race; their ears are much sharper than humans’. A snakehead whip coiled around the spellcaster’s waist as she frowned at the empty air in front of her, then flew into the air, casting True Seeing on herself.
A shadow appeared ahead, desperately fleeing into the distance.
“You can’t escape!”
The spellcaster’s lips curled into a cruel arc, then she cast a Greater Dispel, breaking the middle-aged woman’s energy protection field, and flew at astonishing speed toward the fleeing girl. Escaping from a legendary spellcaster is not so easy, even for other legendary professionists. Not to mention a mere human girl.
The distance closed at an incredible speed.
The girl, imbued with multiple spells, had just fled over a hundred meters when the spellcaster flashed into her view. She pointed and broke her protective spell, saying in a magnetic voice, “Edict: Intimidation!”
The girl froze in place.
She looked like an exquisite puppet, unable to move, her beautiful eyes only able to shift slightly, revealing a glimmer of despair.
A scream sounded in the distance.
The middle-aged woman was stabbed in the heart by a masked assailant, followed by a slash that severed her head, which rolled away several meters, the headless corpse collapsing with a thud. Although she couldn’t move her body at all, the girl seemed to hear something, her lips twitching slightly but producing no sound, while tears began to fall from her beautiful eyes.
The enemy was just too powerful!
They had no capacity for resistance; mortals were so powerless in the face of legends.
“k*ll all the others.”
The spellcaster in the black cloak looked at the girl before her coldly, saying, “Take her away!”
One after another, over a dozen masked figures appeared nearby, with some removing their black veils, revealing scarred, menacing faces. They coldly surveyed the surroundings, and two people reached out toward the girl before them. But as they touched her, suddenly, the swirling wind and snow rose around her, and in an instant, a woman who closely resembled her appeared, almost identical except for her hair color.
She descended as if a queen, her figure eerily suspended twenty centimeters above the ground, pointing ahead.
— “Frostfinger!”
The two masked men approaching Princess Anna instantly became rigid, a shard of frost spreading from their hearts. In the blink of an eye, they were completely encased, quickly turning into two ice sculptures standing in place.
“Sister!?”
The lovely girl seemed to have her spell released; she cried out and lunged at the woman in front of her, only to pass right through her body. The hovering woman’s figure shimmered momentarily. Snowflakes danced around her, reforming her body, her stern gaze fixed on the believer who had been whipping the girl.
“Anna.” The princess, filled with a fierce aura, did not turn back but said solemnly, “Hurry and leave this place. I will come to find you shortly.”
“Hurry!”
What appeared was not her true body, but an avatar made of ice and snow.
The lovely girl seemed to realize this, gritting her teeth and fleeing forward, while the surrounding masked figures immediately pursued her. But just as they began to move, the ground spread a patch of azure ice, and these tormenting goddess believers, roughly third-tier in strength, were instantly frozen into ice sculptures.
They were no longer alive!
“Tsk tsk.” The believer of the Whip Maiden lightly clapped her hands, her gaze somewhat surprised and amused as she said, “Truly, the legendary Princess of Arendelle!”
“Historically the most powerful Fate Sorcerer!”
“Even an ice and snow avatar already possesses abilities close to a legendary sorcerer. No wonder the Winter Maiden would send me to deal with this little girl.”
“Well,”
“You must be feeling something now! Somewhere in Arendelle, the power of winter is spreading!”
The expression on the princess’s face changed slightly as she raised her hand, and a patch of frost spread. The surrounding ice and snow came crashing down like a storm, transforming into countless ice blades that enveloped all nearby spaces, leaving the enemy no chance to evade, not even teleportation spells could escape, engulfed in an overwhelming tide of icy blades.
Clang clang clang!
An invisible energy shield appeared, blocking millions of icy blades, and the ground was left scarred with countless marks, the blades cutting the area within a hundred meters into a mess.
The believer of the Whip Maiden slowly removed her cloak, revealing a devilishly beautiful face, with a scar on her profile. Her skin was dark and her pupils bl**d red. One glance would reveal her as a drow elf from the Underdark. As a believer of the Goddess of Torment, she seemed undaunted by such an attack, simply glancing at the fleeing girl and slowly saying, “How many more spells can you cast like this? If you stay here any longer, Arendelle will soon become a dead city!”
“I’m very curious.”
“Will you choose to save your sister? Or will you choose to save the thousands of civilians in Arendelle?”
………………
Arendelle.
This is the most prosperous kingdom in the Frozen Kingdom, with its advantageous geography near the sea attracting countless merchant caravans. Even in the cold winter, the steady flow of ships has not ceased. In the distance on the sea’s surface, a girl dressed in white gauze slowly walked out. The sea surface she stepped on froze into ice, her silver hair flying in the wind, and the places she walked through were enveloped in fierce wind and snow.
The ice spread at an astonishing speed!
The entire sea surface near the port of Arendelle was completely frozen, busy dockworkers freezing stiff in place, soon covered by ice, turning into ice sculptures.
The girl looked expressionless ahead, and when she stepped onto the dock, she looked up at the top of Arendelle’s castle.
At the castle’s top.
A woman who looked almost identical to Princess Anna, but with silver hair, stood in the snowstorm. In front of her was a mirror made of ice, within which was a drow casting a twisted smile. (To be continued ~^~)
