Chapter 1165 Scatter

"Glacial Heart!"

A large crystal of ice materialized above her, its inner light throbbing like a heartbeat. It began to draw in the surrounding cold, intensifying the freeze to an almost unbearable level.

Raw elemental ice essence began to gather at lightning speed. "Frost Nova!" The princess commanded and did not stop. "Absolute Freeze." "Ice Thorns." "Ice judgment." "Glacial Awakening." She muttered several things under her breath, one after the other, throwing all the caution to the wind.

At the same time, several items on her person cracked loudly and fell down broken, showing that she had used all of her resources and everything that she had to cast this attack.

She truly drained everything in her power. The icy aura this time was enough to seep into anyone's bones and freeze them from head to toe, from core to soul.

However, the next second, the only thing that froze were her eyes. She s.h.i.+vered and trembled in the cold as she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"Impossible..." Princess Freliya whispered, her voice tinged with disbelief and a hint of dread. The power she had just unleashed was meant to freeze everything, down to the very essence of her enemies. It was supposed to be absolute. Yet here stood the human being, completely unaffected.

"Just how high is your affinity for the element? No. No. Even then do you have a dao seed of an elemental? You have a domain?"

Liam smiled. "So what if I have one?"

"No. No. That is not possible. How could a human being possess a dao seed of an elemental?" The princess no longer had any strength left in her body. She collapsed on the ground, kneeling and hoa.r.s.ely panting. "How can a human being have a dao seed of an elemental? You are a monster. What is a monster doing in a place like this?"

Liam looked at the fallen princess but there was no pity in his eyes. The woman looked up and their gaze met for a second. "I am a princess, you cannot-" she started but

Arcane Frost Slash

"You are weak. I don't mind letting you free. Unfortunately, I need you to teach me the tricks you used this time. Training with only one skill is not giving me enough practice." Liam indifferently spoke as the woman's head rolled on the ground.

His hand then effortlessly captured the soul into a white bead. Coincidentally, there were already two other white blobs in his hand, the two souls belonging to the two other ice elves. He shoved all of it into the white bead and made his way back to the battlefield where his soul blood beasts were wreaking havoc.

Liam had already inspected all of his enemies in the time they were greeting each other. Every single elf was level 500 or lower, slightly weaker than his soul blood beasts. So he was not worried about the beasts. It was the other side who had to worry.

As Liam walked observing the battle, just like he had his minions were winning. The soul blood beasts also had a strong pack tendency which made them protect one another. This made sure that there weren't any casualties.

Overall, the first b.u.mp with the enemy was his win.

Liam casually took out another white bead and gathered all the souls that he could scavenge from the battlefield.

One of the dark elves who was still alive noticed what he was doing and his face covered in dread. "What are you doing? Blasphemy! You will be punished for this blasphemy! The guardian will slaughter you! Arghhhh!" A soul blood beast near him rammed straight into him and drained away the last bit of health as well.

Liam only gave a nod and sucked away the elf's soul along with the rest of them.

Just like that, the chaotic battlefield once again became silent with only a sole human being standing amidst the carnage.

Liam looked around him and let out a sigh. Near him nether swirls were once again forming and as they gathered some ma.s.s, he looked at the corpses piled in front of him and commanded. "Stand up."

The air s.h.i.+vered, crackling with dark energy as the nether swirls enveloped the fallen elves. Slowly, the corpses stirred, rising to their feet as if pulled up by invisible strings. Their eyes glowed a dull blue, devoid of life but br.i.m.m.i.n.g with a strange, dark power.

The newly-raised undead stood in formation, waiting for orders. No longer the proud ice and dark elves they had once been, they were now mere p.a.w.ns under Liam's control.

Liam did not want to do this before because it would immediately alert the elves of his presence and essentially inform them of his plan to attain the guardian's blessings. Not just that but it would also be putting a target on his back. The elves might even trace his location using the scent of the undead.

However, now he no longer had to think of these things. Liam was quite sure that this small skirmish would have already revealed his presence. So he freely raised the undead.

As for these undead leading the enemies to his location, this was precisely why he had summoned them in the first place. He was not planning on keeping these undead right next to him.

Rather his plan was to disperse these undead throughout the forests so that the elves would be confused and would not be able to pinpoint his location. They would have to spread their forces thin trying to hunt him down. While they were preoccupied, Liam could focus on his main objective.

"Scatter," Liam commanded. "Go in different directions and cause as much chaos as you can. Do not engage unless necessary. Only fight the enemy that you are able to. Your primary objective is to survive."

The undead elves nodded, their soulless eyes glowing momentarily as they understood his commands. Then, like shadows disappearing into the twilight, they dispersed into the surrounding forest, each taking a different path.
