Chapter 165 -165-Conquering the Eighth-Tier Region
The howling wind swept across the battlefield, as countless shards of ice, forged into deadly icicles, surged from within the snowy realm like a raging tide. Each spike glistened with the frigid aura of a winter that could freeze entire mountains and rivers. As they tore through the sky, the icicles intertwined midair, weaving into colossal serpentine forms—dragons of ice, howling in fury, spreading across the heavens like a stormfront.
These ice dragons were massive, each one radiating a bone-chilling madness. The moment they emerged from the snow realm, they resembled streaks of white pigment bursting from a shattered frame, flowing freely through the void. Wherever they passed, they painted the skies with a cold, deathly white.
Order and elements alike were frozen solid in an instant. It was as though the snowy realm had begun to devour the very fabric of space-time.
Even Owen’s magma—compressed to its absolute limit—began to tremble and unravel under the impact. Violent eruptions once roared in his molten domain, but now, cracks formed under the onslaught of the icy dragons, and the boiling heat began to fade, vanishing in waves.
The flame, previously pushed to its most extreme concentration, was reduced to scattered embers. Before the wrath of the ice dragons, it crumbled instantly!
"So... this is her true strength?" Owen muttered, his eyes wide with growing seriousness. "No wonder even the ranked names on the Killing Leaderboard couldn’t defeat her. This combat power... it’s suffocating!"
The dragons, massive and snarling, filled Owen’s vision as they surged closer. His heart grew heavy.
He had already been channeling his god skill to its fullest, forming magma to directly counter the cold. But the moment the girl fought seriously, his flame was shattered as though it belonged to another dimension—utterly inferior.
"A girl this far beyond mortal limits, in a region with such unique mechanics... it’s likely that no one else could defeat her."
He paused for a beat, then smiled grimly. "Of course... no one but me!"
As the words left his mouth, divine radiance erupted from Owen’s body like a starlight explosion against the darkness. Countless wisps of golden mist surged outward, like boiling oil flooding across the shattered magma.
