Flora shouted sternly, her Protective Barrier bursting with dazzling white flas, but it only trembled continuously, teetering on the brink of collapse.
"He’s not an Insect Corpse Puppet... He’s retained his complete spellcasting ability and mory! Lake hasn’t gone insane... his body has been completely taken over!"
She tried to summon counteracting Magic Power, chanting with a deep voice: "Icebound Frost Vortex!"
The air suddenly cooled, and the surrounding moisture was forcibly frozen, forming a circle of ice blades. A reverse-rotating icy storm was released around her!
The Frozen Magic Power ford a blue-white vortex several ters in diater in mid-air, slicing through the air and dispelling the pressure, forcibly opening a breathing space within the "Collapse Field".
Boom!!
Frost and gravity collided with a twist, distorting the space as if lting and twisting like wax.
"Defense Formation—Activate!"
Almost as Flora and Lake engaged, the mages at the rear quickly reacted, withdrawing their personal Magic Staffs and Engraved Curse Crystals, "Barrier—Multiple Guards!"
Waves of Magic Shells unfurled like water ripples before them, overlapped and crisscrossed to form a standard defensive grid pattern.
They were not novices fresh off the boat.
These were seasoned Combat Mages who had survived various Magic Disasters, with seamless teamwork. Each action was marked by calm judgnt and combat experience.
But the howling ca suddenly.
A figure darted out like a black shadow tearing through the air.
It was that Knight transford into an Insect Corpse, still retaining a humanoid form, yet charging on all fours like a beast, his crimson pupils reflecting the magical brilliance.
He sprinted forward, nearly gliding across the ground, breaking through three Wind Shields in an instant.
"Dodge—!"
"No ti!"
The next second, the Wind Barrier shattered like thin paper, erupting with a piercing crack.
A middle-aged mage in the front row couldn’t utter a second syllable before claws pierced his chest, killing him instantly!
"He... he has at least Extraordinary Level strength!"
"Don’t fight head-on! Pin him down!"
Boom!!
anwhile, on the other side, the Insect Corpse Warrior, with traces of Snow Vow Tribe tattoos left on his skin, stepped forward with a crash.
He seed completely unafraid of magical bombardnt, letting Lava Balls explode on his shoulder and Ice Spears pierce his chest as he stepped into the array.
"Stop him! Rock Spike Barrier!!"
The ground rose, and thick rock spikes burst from the earth, blocking the path.
However, the Insect Corpse Warrior simply charged forward with his shoulder!
Bang!!
He slamd his shoulder like a war hamr into the base of the barrier, causing the Curse Array to boom and crack, the entire rock spike shattering and collapsing like paper!
"He broke the rock barrier with his body?!"
The formation instantly opened a gap.
Mages on both sides were toppled by the impact, and the support team at the back was forced to interrupt their chanting, the Curse Array exploding from feedback, sending three people flying amidst the flas.
"Retreat! Rear ranks, scatter and reform!"
"Switch to containnt, quickly!"
The situation suddenly beca critical.
The Mage Corps, although experienced, had never faced a complete Insect Corpse combat unit head-on.
This was not mindless walking dead, but a killing machine with tactical intent and suppressive power.
And just as the Mage Corps’ formation was on the verge of collapse, a transparent blue light net suddenly appeared in the air, like a battlefield radar projected into the Spiritual World.
"Attack Path Detection Diagram—Deploy!"
Dilin stood high on the rock platform, slim yet straight as a stake.
His pupils were tinged with a faint golden Demon Pattern, ntal waves spreading like ripples, quickly connecting to Flora and three Combat Mages.
"Lady Flora, ten ters ahead right—convergence of spatial gravity points!"
In an instant, a light blue semi-transparent display appeared before her eyes, like an extra tactical sense, projecting technique predictions one second ahead.
Flora’s gaze sharpened, her right foot stomping on the ice, her entire body spiraling out like a whirlwind, narrowly avoiding Lake’s high-pressure diagonal impact wave.
The next mont, another Insect Corpse Warrior suddenly pounced from the flank.
Dilin gritted his teeth and cut off the connection with one mage, forcefully pushing that person out of the attack trajectory, while he himself bore the brunt of the aftershock.
The ntal shock pierced into his brain like needles, his mouth filling with a tallic taste.
"Don’t lose focus!" he shouted hoarsely, his voice raspy.
His right hand rose once again, Magic Power burning fiercely, triggering the second Technique.
"Mixed-Frequency Interference Wave!"
In an instant, invisible noise seed to echo throughout the battlefield.
The Insect Corpse Warrior’s movents stuttered, as if so invisible nerve line had been cut, delayed by 0.5 seconds.
It was this 0.5 seconds
that allowed the third mage to sidestep and retreat, barely surviving at the edge of the claw’s swipe.
Flora also seized the chance to catch her breath, regathering her Magic Power, her right hand plunging into the ice, rapidly expanding the Ice Array.
"Ice Domain Release!"
The Array humd loudly, silver-white frost sweeping across the cliff.
Moisture in the air condensed into flying snow, the ground surfaced with crystalline ice patterns, and the temperature plumted below negative fifty degrees.
"Terrain Lockdown!"
The cliff face cracked, countless ice spikes stabbing out from the earth’s veins, forcing the Insect Corpse to retreat.
"Ice Spear Bombardnt!"
Over a dozen auroras condensed into form, Ice Spears falling like stars, aiming straight at Lake’s throat and heart.
The Frost Realm chained attack was her strongest control technique combination, integrating offense and defense, locking the enemy in an instant!
But at this mont, Lake’s expression remained indifferent, his hand slightly clenched.
"Gravity Fracturing Technique."
Boom——!
The earth suddenly sank, and the ice instantly shattered, the entire Ice Domain exploding with internal cracks like glass.
Flora’s technique seed shattered by an invisible heavy hamr, breaking apart before it could freeze!
"Trajectory Alteration Technique."
Those fast Ice Spears twisted their paths just as they neared the target, forcibly bent by invisible trajectories in space, all brushing past him surrounded.
