However, this was the opponent’s home ground. If he used up all of his soul force, he would be in trouble.
“A.I. Chip, scan the structure of the illusion and search for the point of three-dimensional construct and Wors’ Space!” Leylin silently sent down the order.
The A.I. Chip did not have a good method of dealing with such a situation before, but now with the database on the soul, its ability at analysis had improved by leaps and bounds.
“You can’t escape!” Like the many galaxies in the universe, countless three-dimensional Arctic Queens were formed. These clones that looked like inverted images of the original held weapons in their hands, going on the offensive against him.
Ting! Soul force condensed to form a blood-red cross blade in Leylin’s hands.
Leylin quickly took a step forward, the cross blade blocking large numbers of icy blades that produced dazzling rays of light.
“Cross Slash!” A cross-shaped light flashed, and tens of paper dolls turned into fragments that filled the skies.
“It’s of no use. This is my spiritual world! No number of deaths will cause any exhaustion to me. How long do you think your soul force can last you?” The doll accompanying this icy voice was torn to shreds, but it then reformed into the Arctic Queen once more.
“Stop resisting when it doesn’t even matter. Together, we can—”
Schlick! Before the Arctic Queen could finish her words, her head was chopped off.
The flat head that was like a piece of paper fell to the ground, and continued to chatter on, “Your only choice is to serve me! Hand over your soul source and become my servant. This way, I might even let you off!”
Rumble! Red flames flashed and burnt the paper into ashes.
There was a cold smirk on Leylin’s face. “I’d be a fool to listen to your commands!”
“Kill him!” As if the Arctic Queen had been enraged, large numbers of two-dimensional paper clones pounced on him.
“Cross Slash!” Leylin’s expression was cool as he launched attack after attack, sending fragmented paper flying into the skies, filling it like butterflies. They even covered Leylin’s clothes, his weapon, and his hair.
“I told you, you can’t escape!” The paper on Leylin’s body became as heavy as lead, a few pieces joining to form the face of the Arctic Queen.
Leylin’s body grew sluggish as a blade swiped at his chest. The fine Kemoyin’s Scales unexpectedly could not hinder the blade at all, and a wound opened up on his chest, blood spurting out.
“I told you this is my mental world. Even if your defences are extremely powerful in the external world, I am the ruler here!” The paper doll standing in front of Leylin spoke slowly.
“Is that so?” Leylin’s face was pale, his body in the external world evidently receiving a real injury.
“If it’s true, wouldn’t you have killed me long ago? Why would you still be here spouting so much nonsense?”
“Nonsense?” The Arctic Queen’s brows lifted and raised her arms. Leylin had no idea which part of his speech had irritated her.
The number of illusory figures increased greatly, and in practically an instant the area was completely filled with paper dolls of various colours.
“Since you wish to die, let me fulfil your wish!” Countless Arctic Queens pounced forth.
At this moment, however, a slight smile appeared about Leylin’s lips. “Found it!”
He suddenly moved forward, soul force undulating at his body and gathering on the cross blade, resulting in rays of flaming light that seemed endless.
“Cross Slash!” The gleaming cross blade sliced at a point in the sky.
Crack! Crack! It was like a mirror being shattered, and numerous shivering, spotted lights that resembled tadpoles appeared behind it.
“No! Impossible! How did you find out?” The Arctic Queen’s voice became high-pitched and piercing.
“Haha…” Leylin laughed maniacally, ignoring the fury of the Arctic Queen behind him and rushed headfirst into the sea of tadpoles.
“A.I. Chip! Begin destruction based on the previous plan…” Countless black threads appeared in Leylin’s hands and quickly dispersed. Even more mirrors shattered.
Bang! A slight tremor was produced by Leylin’s body, and his eyes instantly focused. He glanced at the icy castle and purple swamp as well as the cut on his chest and sighed, “I’m finally out!”
Chi chi… At this moment, a furious, high-pitched sound was emitted from under the castle.
“The opponent’s illusory spells are too powerful. I need to leave for now!” Just now, Leylin had lucked out. Depending on the A.I. Chip’s ability to find the gaps in the illusion, he’d managed to escape. The next time, the situation would be different. Even if he could find the gaps again, successfully breaking through them was still an issue.
Leylin’s eyes flashed as he moved a long distance away in an instant.
Chapter 614 – Deduction and Advancement
Deduction and Advancement
The central region of the icy plains, outside the castle.
Dazzling blue pillars emitted bright light, the most radiant of landmarks.
Groups of icy race clansmen and even beasts were attracted by the blue rays of light. The appeal was so strong that anyone who barred their paths was considered an enemy to be attacked.
Leylin thought the pillars were like terrifying large-scale summoning spell formations. Anyone that possessed a bloodline related to ice and had grown up here could not resist the allure.
Currently in front of him was a strange group. Savage icy beasts mingled with snow fairies and other intelligent beings, the only thing they had in common the desire and fervour in their eyes. They crossed land and water, heading in the direction of the palace as if on a pilgrimage.
Leylin had seen this many times already. After the illusory fight at the icy castle, the Arctic Queen had not moved to chase him, evidently being limited somehow. Instead, the range of her spell formation extended further, encompassing the entire world of ice. Icy beings flooded into the area day after day, nourishing their Queen.
Leylin obviously would not just watch on. Looking apathetic, he pressed down with his right arm.
Rumble! A gigantic palmprint appeared on the surface that was formed of solid ice. The snow fairies, ice leopards, and other creatures all turned to powder.
Having taken care of this, Leylin’s brows furrowed as he hurried in another direction in which an even larger group had formed.
How populous was the world of ice? Even if Leylin did all he could to intercept them, many still managed to break through, turning into powder at the icy castle.
“Such absolute control… It’s a tragedy for the other races.” Watching the scene, Leylin sighed a little. It was obvious that the bloodlines of the various races in this world of ice had originated from the Arctic Queen, so when she decided to take them back, they could not resist at all.
The same situation would apply with the Snake Dowager. With her might and bloodline control, Leylin would probably be unable to rebel even if he was ordered to die. This was also what Leylin was trying his utmost to avoid.
‘It looks like the Arctic Queen has some sort of restriction on her body, which was why she had to groom Arwen. She also had to groom the many races in this world of ice, and use regular blood sacrifices to obtain strength, life force, and…’
Lights flashed in Leylin’s eyes. ‘The previous incident obviously enraged her. She actually summoned all the races in this miniature Icy World to their sacrificial deaths! Her aura is strengthening every day…’
At this thought, Leylin produced a few test tubes and flicked them out with his fingers.
Streaks of purple splashed on the backs of a few gigantic rank 3 beasts, forming strange runes that sank in. Noticing Leylin wasn’t blocking them anymore, they roared as they pressed forward towards the castle of ice.
Leylin frowned and arrived at a temporary dwelling. He’d been doing such a thing every day, but could not determine the efficacy of such an act.
“A.I. Chip, how’s the simulation of the soul defence coming along?”
[Beep! Soul defence spell pattern deduction at 97.6%!] The A.I. Chip loyally intoned. It projected a faint phantom of a spell model that was almost complete.
[Rank 4 spell— Soul Guard! Summing up the bloodline models of the Spirit Warlocks, the information from the database on the soul has been used to deduce a spell to defend against soul invasions. Referenced material: ‘Way of the Soul’, ‘A Primer on Spell Models’…]
There was a detailed introduction under this model, including the referenced materials which made up a long list.
