In the completely frozen tenth layer, a bloodfire flickers intermittently within the ice.
A beastman and a necromancer continually burn themselves for warmth.
Quickly, their left forearm is burned away, then the upper arm, the next choice is the right lower leg, followed by the right thigh.
They feel no pain, but just watching their limbs burn down to bones and flesh is enough to put trendous pressure on their nerves.
But they are not without hope, as long as Oleva’s magic power is exhausted, these ice layers without miracle support are rely ordinary ice blocks, Qikara can lt them with a fla miracle.
However, even after they have burned away their left thigh and are left with only their right hand, everything still hasn’t ended. Oleva’s magic power seems endless, and the ice layer relentlessly tests their bloodfire, attempting to freeze them.
The last flesh and blood they can burn is their right hand. But without it, casting spells would be difficult...
"Bloodfire consud," Harvey suddenly asked, "Does it just need to be flesh and blood?"
"Yes."
"Then can Alice be burned too?"
Qikara seed sowhat relieved, nodding heavily, "She can!"
Alice calmly crouched beside them, unlike their bloodfire, Alice’s appears dark green, but can still resist the ice layer.
First the limbs, then the lower body, then the upper body. The bloodfire spreads continuously over Alice’s body; even though this fla appears strange, evil, it is the source of life for the two living people.
Soon, the bloodfire has spread to the neck, but the ice shows no sign of thawing.
Qikara looked at Harvey, the necromancer extended the only remaining right hand to close Alice’s eyes.
"Burn," he said.
"Really?" Qikara probed, "If she is burned..."
"When Alice is gone, your contract will also be dissolved, I know."
Harvey said, "But the dead should serve the living, not the other way around."
Qikara was silent for a mont, then when the bloodfire almost extinguished at the throat, he suddenly intensified the fla, burning Alice’s head to ash.
Perhaps fate finally favored them, as Qikara prepared to burn his own right hand, the ice unexpectedly stopped spreading. The beastman instantly cast a wide-ranging fla miracle, rapidly lting the surrounding ice layer, emitting a large amount of white mist!
Qikara almost frantically kept launching fireballs, until the surrounding area lted into water, he then dragged the necromancer with his remaining hand, and shouted excitedly: "Mr. Harvey, we made it through! We survived the Frost Cold extinction! Oleva is dead!"
Harvey lifted his head, saying: "Why... the snowstorm hasn’t stopped?"
The beastman’s pupils constricted, noticing the snowstorm still dancing in the sky—Oleva’s Frost Sanctuary was still in effect!
Three void wings imdiately appeared on Qikara’s back, pulling Harvey, almost roaring: "We must fly out quickly—"
There’s no ti.
The white frost spread again, the previous pause seems to have been rely a mid-battle respite, Oleva once again initiated Frost Cold extinction. The area just lted by Qikara’s fla, froze again.
But this ti, they had already lost a hand and two legs, Alice was burnt to ashes too. Next, they can only burn their body’s organs but won’t last long.
It is already certain doom.
"Regret it?"
"Regret it." The beastman said gloomily, "I should have left directly."
"This is the charm of death, facing death, everyone must remove their disguise and reveal the truth," Harvey mused, "Death is the greatest fairness."
"Therefore, live well, I will wait for you in hell."
The beastman was startled, seized the opportunity as the white frost still invaded the holy domain, asked, "What do you an?"
"Oh, this is sothing Ash often says, I’m just borrowing it—"
"You have a way?"
"Yes, I have a thod," Harvey said leisurely, "I have a necromancy form stronger than a dragon lich, should be able to change the situation."
"Then why didn’t you use it earlier!" Qikara was both angry and laughing, near madness, "Waited until we lost a hand two legs—plus Alice—right, without Alice, how will you beco necromancy form?"
Harvey raised his final right hand, took out his right eye and casually tossed it aside, then stuffed another eye inside: "Alice is with ."
Qikara focused, found that the eye was Alice’s cloudy pupil like grape, estimated to have been picked off by Harvey when he helped close Alice’s eyes.
"But there’s only an eye!"
"An eye is enough," the necromancer said, "It’s sufficient to initiate Ice Cold Flowing Fire."
"But, but," the eloquent beastman stamred, "but you must integrate with Alice to resist transforming into necromancy creature’s negative energy, right? Like my purgatory form, each ti burns lots of my muscles—"
Wait.
Qikara suddenly realized sothing: Why not use the form stronger than dragon lich directly? And Harvey’s transformation into dragon lich lasted less than a minute, the body started showing decay...
"No need to resist negative energy anymore." Harvey raised his right hand, shook the Ghost King Chains above: "Once I use it out, it inevitably erodes into a necromancy creature, with or without Alice the sa."
"But rest assured, I’m a professional necromancer, even if transford into necromancy creature, I will self-destruct within a day, unless other necromancer cos to pick up—unfortunately none of you cultivate necromancy faction."
