Chapter 207 - 195: Fight to the Death Without Retreat
Swords of Shaosul thrust forth like mighty dragons, each swipe accompanied by a massive onslaught of chilling frost attacking Redfang’s body.
His opponent possessed at least the strength of the Third Transition fifth level, and Redfang’s movements grew slower and slower, his arms and thighs now coated with a layer of ice crystals.
"Squad leader, I’m here to help you!" A commanding shout emanated from the chaos of the melee—it was a member of the Roland Knights, the eldest son of the God’s Grace, Baron Afudun, his scepter gleaming bright, a serpent of fire cutting a path and wrapping itself around Redfang. The warmth of the serpent began to dissolve the ice of Shaosul with ease.
"Thank you," Redfang said, feeling a surge of confidence as he watched the fire serpent’s buffs take effect; he could see the situation clearly, as could Sibo. All he needed to do was to delay, delay until the Empire’s reinforcements could arrive.
"A sealed magic?" Shaosul was not foolish. The fire skill capable of melting his frosty power was undoubtedly of the Third Transition, and the young Afudun certainly did not possess that level of power. Therefore, this spell had to be a skill sealed within by his father, Baron God’s Grace himself.
Baron God’s Grace was a Third Transition Peak master of fire, and this serpent of fire bound to Redfang’s armor provided enough resistance to Shaosul’s ice for him to hold out in battle for a long while.
But Shaosul could not wait that long; he had to break down his opponent’s lines as soon as possible.
"Eibner, come out!" Shaosul bellowed, and moments later, a ghostly white apparition drilled out from beneath the ground, a Roland Knight’s head still gripped in its hand.
"Shaosul, I’m only here to coordinate with you on the master’s orders, not to be your subordinate," Eibner said with haughty arrogance, clearly not holding Shaosul in high regard.
"Help me take down this man," Shaosul said, containing his anger; as privileged guards under the master, the Cold Edge Battalion naturally felt superior to others. Shaosul remembered that now was not the time for quarreling, and he needed to complete the mission given by the master first.
