"10,000th Sword?" Max muttered, feeling a bit perplexed. Though each of her swords was stronger than his swords infused with flas and 5% of Fusion State aura, he didn't believe for a second that her ten thousandth sword could surpass his overall strength.
Revenna smiled, clearly understanding that Max didn't believe her last sword could kill him. "You see, the swords in the air before you aren't from any skills nor sothing I created out of thin air. They are part of a technique."
She added, smiling. "It's called Ten Thousand Burials of Ice… a total of ten thousand ice swords, or should I say weapons."
Max frowned, glancing at her. "But where is the 10,000th sword? You ntioned earlier that there are 9,999 swords in the air. So where's the last one?"
Revenna spread her hands wide. "All these 9,999 swords are my last 10,000th sword."
Max's eyes narrowed as he began to understand what she ant.
Just then, the 9,999 ice swords above Max's head began to shift and swirl like a storm of frost. One by one, they flew toward the center of the sky, rging seamlessly with each other. The sound of grinding ice echoed across the battlefield as the swords fused relentlessly, their icy glow intensifying with each union.
Max's eyes narrowed further as he watched the spectacle unfold, a cold sweat forming on his brow. The sheer magnitude of energy radiating from the rging swords sent a shiver down his spine.
In monts, the countless blades beca one—a massive sword the size of a skyscraper, its gleaming, crystalline surface glinting under the arena's lights. Hovering ominously above Max, the colossal ice sword exuded an overwhelming presence, releasing a chilling intent that froze the very air around it.
The frost began to creep across the stage, spreading in jagged lines until it reached nearly half of the stage once again.
Revenna cast a glance at Max. "This is the last sword of the Ten Thousand Burials of Ice. For , it's called the Absolute Frostblade." She said calmly.
She continued. "Now, I will ask you, Max, what can you do here?"
Max frowned, his gaze turning upward to the massive blade of ice above him. He had various thods to handle the sword, but he understood that it would be pointless if he couldn't take down Revenna. Otherwise, he feared she might pull off sothing even more shocking.
"What have you decided?" Revenna asked curiously.
Max smiled and shrugged. "You should know that my World Destruction Fla Lotus can easily take care of your massive sword." He said, his tone a bit suspicious. "But this makes wonder: what's your true intent behind using the massive sword, knowing it can't kill ?" He glanced at her, his hand on his chin. "Is it for distraction? But from what? Buying ti? But again, for what?"
Revenna glanced at Max deeply but didn't say anything else. At that mont, the massive sword descended upon him, its sharp, pointy edges coming straight for his head.
Max sighed and held his right hand up. Using his Abyssal Coating, his entire arm up to his elbow turned pitch black.
Next, he activated the power of his 15 Draconic Essences, feeling wild, raw power coursing through his body. Channeling all this power into his right fist, he clenched it hard and waited. Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire
Just when the tip of the blade neared his head, Max punched out.
Bang!
Crack!
His punch hit the massive sword in one explosive strike, causing cracks to appear across the sword's surface. The cracks quickly spread until the entire sword was covered in fractures.
Shatter!
The massive sword shattered like a mirror, its fragnts falling to the ground like shining rain.
Max sighed, relieved that he had destroyed the massive sword. The entire ti, his full attention had been on Revenna, expecting her to sneak attack him while he was facing the massive sword. But strangely, she didn't do anything else, which made Max frown.
Pointing his finger at her like a pistol, Max said calmly, "It's ti for you to die."
Almost instantly, he combined all three skills of Magic Bullets into one single bullet. A small blue ball, the size of a finger, floated in front of Max's index finger, radiating an otherworldly blue glow.
The energy within the blue ball was so intense that it caused the wind to rage. The very air around him trembled as the small sphere pulsed with raw energy.
The combined power of all three Magic Bullet skills, ford into one single bullet, was the sa as his Blade of Annihilation—without being boosted by other auras. It was a deadly and fatal attack capable of destroying anything in its path.
Aiming the bullet at Revenna, who was just calmly watching him, Max said, "It's ti for you to go." With those words, he launched the bullet.
Swish!
The bullet tore through the air like a laser, destroying the stage as it made its way toward Revenna.
In no ti, the bullet appeared before her, reaching just in front of her forehead. When it seed the bullet would hit, sothing unimaginable happened.
A layer of frost so cold it even froze the air released from her body. This frost not only froze the bullet midair but also froze its trail, completely encasing it in ice.
Max was stunned by this, but before he could react, the frost reached him. Unlike before, when ice had only covered him externally, Max now felt his blood and organs starting to freeze.
'Damn!' He panicked slightly as he used flas with 10% Fusion State aura all over his body, but the flas had little to no effect. In no ti, his entire body froze, his skin turned dark blue, and his heart froze. He beca a statue of ice, standing there with a panicked expression on his face.
Seeing that Max was completely frozen like an ice statue, Revenna slumped down to one knee, sweat dotting her face despite the coldness emanating from her.
Everyone watching the battle was shocked. Just when it seed Max would win the battle, the tide unexpectedly turned. But what shocked the geniuses even more was Revenna's move, which had frozen both Max and his attack.
"If I'm not wrong, she used Absolute Zero there," Crown Prince Aelric said, his face extreemly solemn. "Max would have easily won the battle with that attack, but her 3-second use of Absolute Zero changed everything. It not only froze his attack but also him, his blood, his heart, and even his mind. He is as good as dead now."
"Absolute Zero?" Veylin's frown deepened as the words left his lips. He had heard of this technique before, spoken of in hushed tones by his father during one of their rare serious discussions. It had been the reason his father, despite his power and influence, had avoided provoking the North Region as much as the other three.
The reason was chillingly simple: the Witch of the North and her technique—Absolute Zero.
It wasn't just a powerful ability; it was a legend, whispered about in every corner of Valora Continent. Absolute Zero was said to freeze anything—whether it was an attack, an object, or even a living being. There were no exceptions, no escape.
A technique classified at the Divine Rank, it was known to be one of humanity's greatest feats. Yet, in the hands of the Witch of the North, it transford into sothing far more terrifying—a weapon of absolute destruction.
Veylin's father had once said, "Absolute Zero is not a technique; it's a declaration. When the Witch of the North chooses to use it, the battle is already over."
It was said that the technique had no limits, capable of freezing not only what it touched but even abstract forces like energy, auras and even concepts. It was a weapon that defied reason, capable of turning the tide against any army, any foe, no matter how powerful.
