Chapter 180: Irene’s Misfortune?
Her beautiful face remained unblemished by the dirt and debris of war. She wore silver-white armor that made her look like a goddess of war, her cold expression as chilling as a winter night, freezing everything in its icy wind. Then, she commanded her signature element—one few could master on this continent, the element of ice.
She created an icy prison cage, trapping the sword-wielding devil who had been slaughtering the defensive line. The devil didn’t panic when the ice prison appeared; he merely twisted his body and slashed at the cage with his power, instantly shattering it. He then turned to look at Irene, now locked in battle with his comrade from the 7 Devils of Disaster. The devil’s fire element tried to burn her, but she shielded herself with ice armor and counterattacked with her ice spear.
As soon as she appeared on the battlefield, the soldiers’ morale soared, and they shouted a war cry.
"Push back! Lady Irene is here!" the commander shouted at the top of his lungs.
The soldiers then launched a counterattack, their confidence bolstered as Irene held back the threat of the 7 Devils of Disaster. The battle intensified as Irene fought against the fire-element devil and created a clone to confront the sword-wielding devil. She was now facing two formidable opponents on her own, which came as a relief to the defensive line, as their burden was lightened.
Her movements were beautiful as she danced, dodging and striking at the devil with her ice spear. Every motion was elegant yet deadly, and the temperature around her had already dropped, causing parts of the ground to freeze. The fire-element devil was being pushed back, yet his expression showed no anxiety—instead, he looked amused.
"You are truly powerful, Blizzard Witch—no wonder lord Lust Devil is so mesmerized by you and desires you so badly. Why don’t you join us? In the end, we are the victors. Your orthodox and unorthodox cultivators will have no place once our ’god’ descends," he said.
Irene ignored him, continuing her relentless spear attacks and coming within inches of decapitating him with a precise slash. She then created some distance, and her clone, who had been battling the sword-wielding devil, also pulled back to stand by her side. The two devils now stood side by side, facing Irene, and the fire-element devil turned to the devil beside him and asked a question.
"How is she, Karius?"
