Chapter 27: Ice Ice Zombie

Chapter 27: Ice Ice Zombie

There were decimated corpses lying all across the city. Blood closed the streets through a river and people could be seen in panic.

Parents were crying for their dead children while many children were crying for their dead parents. Entire families were ripped apart and crushed within buildings.

A young elf lay amid a red pool. His hands and legs were missing and his skin was burnt black.

Beside him was a silver-haired boy whose hair was falling in his eyes, so he constantly tried to shove it.

His hands were glowing with a mystical emerald light.

Rael's spiritual energy started to circulate in the elf's body helping the elf to get relief.

*Cough*

The elf started to cough some blood and looked at the boy in front of him. Although he couldn't see him properly and his face was blurred he managed to utter a single word before passing out.

"F..uck....humans...."

"Don't speak I am still healing you!" Rael said as he attentively was listening to what he said. By what the elf said he couldn't help but frown.

"Humans did this?"

He looked at the ruined landscape filled with blood before shaking his head.

" A waste."

'Perhaps it is only human nature to inflict suffering on anything that will endure suffering, whether because of its genuine humility, or indifference, or sheer helplessness..maybe.. .all that is just a delusion of mine.'

Rael felt like puking....although he always thought that humans were the lesser beings, he was no different from them...the world preyed upon the weak and if a weakling became strong then the world would kill it so that he wouldn't become a threat.

A look of relief came upon the elf's face as his face changed from pale to its normal cream color.

Leaving the elf aside in a place where nobody could hurt him, he decided to leave and look for Derek.

He couldn't help but get shudders whenever he thought that this was related to the deal the devils and the humans were talking about.

'-but just why would the humans of the Holy Theocracy attack here?'

As he was pondering over the question, he realized something he should have noticed long ago!

'All the influentials from all over the world come to the Regent Auction and Banquet.....so wouldn't this be the best time to kill them all?'

It all fit perfectly and just like a psycho, Rael had creepily started to laugh. When was the last time he laughed like this he wondered?..... Oh, wait it was recently, so yeah, awkward moment.

He noticed that he couldn't see any humans nearby except the ones who were lying around crying about the deaths of their loved ones.

Walking further and further, the entire area was deserted for a second it could have looked like a ghost town if it wasn't for the zombies coming his way.

He cussed as he saw the massive horde of disgusting blackish-green creatures whose skin was constantly melting and regenerating.

"I didn't think that those humans would be so impatient.....I wonder where Derek is and my slime....."

Looking at the creatures coming toward him, Rael started to form multiple large-scale mana spells.

Because his mana capacity had increased, he could easily do large-scale attacks although it did cost a lot of mana.

"Looks like you people will be the first test for me to try my new deviant element attack!" He smiled evilly as he looked at the pitiful mindless zombies.

As water and wind were his strongest elements with an affinity for, Rael had already thought of a deviant element.

A deviant element, which uses devastating attacks, combined with the randomness of weather and its freezing abilities to create a deadly skill.

An element that could pierce through all his opponents with ease and also defend him through all the attacks.

A perfect element, free from all the restrictions.

Instantly the temperature dropped by a few degrees. The air around Rael coiled and started to float above until it went higher than the night clouds, till it couldn't be seen in sight.

The zombies who were waiting for the attack looked at Rael dumbfoundedly,

"..."

...and started to screech as if mocking him.

An imaginary cross symbol came on his forehead as he looked at the zombies with killing intent while giving out an innocent smile.

Though the zombies were mindless and dumb, when they saw that smile.....they could only fear for him along with the killing intent emanating from him.

Seeing their expression Rael smirked, and he lifted his hand pointing towards the sky.

Everyone turned their head up, to look at what he was pointing at.

A half-a-foot-long icicle suddenly appeared in front of them out of thin air, it appeared in midair out of nowhere.

Even though those mindless zombies had extremely good senses, they still did not manage to see how it appeared and when it appeared, they merely just saw a seemingly normal icicle that had a frightening coldness that made their whole body shiver.

Before they could take a good look at it, the deep blue icicle attacked broke into numeral other icicles and attacked them all separately right through their brain, pinpoint, at unimaginable speed!

*Bang!!*

*Bang!!*

*Bang!!!!*

**BANG!**

The zombies screamed with pain! The deep blue icicle was stuck through and through. It was a headshot! Such scary accuracy. Only Rael could do something like that with minimal use of mana and control.

Having their heads shot, made them on the verge of their death.

Their bodies instantly started to melt and burst into flames as they screamed at the top of their lungs.

The flame corroded their bodies giving them all a painful death.

The icicle was a one-shot hit, which was meant for assassinations, he had especially used ice in an attack like that because no matter what said, those zombies were innocent humans, who didn't even know about the multiple realms.

Just because of one person who made a deal with the devils.....why should they suffer?

Unfortunately, the fire gave them pain. Fire is a hellish flame that always takes place when a contract has been signed, especially with devils for an exchange of power.

Looking at the ashes of the former humans, Rael couldn't help but sigh. The sigh wasn't out of pity, he simply knew the truth, he always knew it.

The weak are jealous of the strong and deem them as threats so they do whatever they can do to become strong and the strong deem the weak as threats and eradicate them before they become stronger.

It was just that he didn't want to accept the cruel truth, he simply wanted to enjoy his life, sip wine while playing music, and look at the scenery in front of him back in his palace in the fairy realm.

Especially because he was the strong rather than the weak.

He did not feel guilt for the humans, they were dead the moment they became zombies. Instantly his mood cheered up as he thought of his Ice element.

'It was certainly a nice test to check my ice-based attacks, as I thought Ice deviant element suits me the most. In the future, I will make this even stronger.'

Rael had used his two elements, water and ice to make a deviant ability. At first, while making the ability it pained a lot in his heart.

Merging the two elements to form the Ice element was painful. Even when he used the element right now, for the first time he had to concentrate a lot which drained some of his mental power not a lot because he was experienced in it before.

When using mana, it not always depends upon mana capacity but also mental strength to handle the spell. Therefore the famous saying in the different realms,

'Every spell has a backlash!'.

The funny thing about the incident was that the organization Shadow were pawns, they were pawns in their own game.

They were used by The Holy Theocracy, the church even used them as fodder and might have killed them.

Why would they let someone of power be alive?

Ultimately they would have greed and would try to take over even the Church right?

No one is ever satisfied with one thing.

Everyone wants more.

Like how when women in hentai when getting used to big dicks want even bigger dicks.

Just like that.

Shadow would want to devour the church after they take over the country.

-and then finally they would want to rule the entire Lower World.

Shi opened his eyes and sat up on the rubble he was upon. In front of him, he could only see deserted land and no soul.

Odd....where is everyone?

He started to ponder and tried to remember what had happened to him to be stuck in such a state.

He then remembered that some bastard humans gave him an active bomb right into his hands.

The bomb was too close to him so he had taken too much damage hence even with his regenerative elf characteristics, he was unable to heal himself quickly.

Just when he was on the verge of dying, a being most probably a demon healed him.

He could feel that he was a demon because of the sense of familiarity which distinguished him from humans.

After recalling everything that happened, he stood up to look for his benefactor. When he didn't see him around, he frowned and walked a few steps before coming in front of a swarm of zombies.

'What?! How did zombies end up here?? These humans....just what did they do?!.."

Seeing the zombies coming toward him, he couldn't help but smile with disdain. How could these zombies measure up to him? He was an enforcer although not the most elite one around, he was sure that he was stronger than the elites also.

"Hmmm...poison is my favorite way to kill...but I can not use it because it does not work on zombies...I guess I will go with the elven classic."

Suddenly the zombies got stuck in their place and were unable to move. Their head which was the only part of the body that they could move looked down.

Tree roots were crawling up to their shoulders and were starting to bear trees. What was the most special thing about the attack was that the trees were actually absorbing their life.

A surge of power brushed into Shi, he had never felt such an amount of power before.

A pretty broken skill he had, the zombies in front of him had unlimited life energy and could only truly die if their brain was pierced or destroyed as that's where the core lay.

"Ha! This was a good plan!" His body started to get bulkier, he started to regain his lost muscles at an extremely amazing rate!

His body no longer looked malnourished which it was when he was hurt, although Rael had saved him, he only healed him to the point, that he wouldn't be on the verge of death.

For him, his energy reserves were more important. So as Shi started to gain energy, his body became more like it was before. Surprisingly, it became even better!

His black hair grew even longer reaching his toes and had some streaks of white, because of cells dividing too fast.

Eventually, his body couldn't handle the excess amount of energy so he stopped absorbing it at once. With the amount of energy he had, he could easily take out the zombies in front of him by simply flicking his fingers.

The man spread out his mana in a wide area.....DOMAIN!

The zombies felt their bodies getting crushed by the tree roots near them. The roots started to branch and leaf blades struck upon their entire body.

A unique flowery scent spread in the area, suffocating them.

The tree roots entered their body through the nose holes and destroyed the brain from the inside out while exploding.

Suddenly, the zombies burned into ashes! It was just too fast! With the tree roots, leaves burning the fire was even greater.

Being a mage naturally, he had a mage's domain, which a person could only get after tremendous practice.

There are many stages in Domain itself. The domain used by Shi was the initial domain used by amateurs, but even a simple initial domain makes its user very overpowered.

He walked past where the zombies died...and cussed a bit. He deduced it by seeing the flames of the heavenly and universal law.

"Tch! These humans made a deal with devils...I couldn't even turn these zombies into trees because their souls were claimed by the universal law, so they had unlimited power but also many side effects!"

Usually, when he uses his domain, his prey who dies in it turns into a tree.

As he was thinking about the various stuff between the humans and devils....he got a very amazing idea.

'Wait.....a second! If I help out and gather as much information as possible and help out...then couldn't I get an instant promotion?! The cross-realm department is in charge of keeping peace and these humans are clearly disturbing peace.....so if I abandon my mission and focus on this...then my superiors will praise and promote me!"

"Like it's said....aim higher get lower! If I meet that demon, I might do a light investigation as a reward for saving me.....but I will still test his strength..."

He hummed a tune and leisurely started to walk away, he could already feel intense mana coming from the center of the city and assumed that the silver-haired demon would also be heading there.

He saw many zombies and just turned them all into dust along his way. Old humans, office workers, children...nobody escaped his grasp.

All of them were simply cannon fodders.

After walking for a while, he finally came across the silver-haired boy. He crept into a corner and started to observe him.

The temperature instantly dropped while he was observing him, the environment went cold, and huge killing intent was spreading into the atmosphere.

"H..how does this kid have such high killing intent?! How many has he killed before???"

A shiver went upon his spine as he looked at the young silver-haired boy smiling innocently, his smile was too evil to call it an angel and too tranquil to call it a demon.

"J...j..just what is he?!?!!"

The boy then pointed his hands towards the sky, subconsciously, Shi also gazed to look at the sky...and what he saw utterly shocked him.

A half-foot icicle formed out of nowhere! This kind of utilization and control of mana was abnormal!

He had never seen anyone forming ice from the sky which wasn't connected with the body!

Usually, ice-based attacks all form from near the user's body....but this kid had broken the rule...

"W.. won't he be invincible?! This way!!"

The icicle broke into smaller fragmented shards, and each of them struck the brain core of the zombies individually killing all of them!

A bitter smile came upon Shi's face, excitement boiled under his skin as he stared at Rael.

'Silver hair....hmm...I have never heard about a demon with silver hair... wait... isn't that prodigious newbie Alizejh also having silver hair? Didn't she have a twin? But I was told that the twin was a talentless scumbag...'

He suddenly got startled as he heard Rael's voice.

"You should come out... aren't you tired of watching me from behind?"

His voice was calm and full of nonchalance, he looked at him baffled, at how he could sense him so easily.

He stood up from behind rubble and walked towards him with his hands in a surrendering gesture.

"I am surprised you found me."

"Of course, even a kid could find you..."

He once again heard his voice which was calm with a small tinge of contempt and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"So I see that you are fully healed.."

Rael frowned a bit as he inspected further.

"-and...your life force feels stronger..."

Shin smirked, enjoying his reaction.

"You were quite good back there with that ice attack of yours...."

Seeing, Rael not replying, an imaginary cross came on the back of his head.

He opened one of his eyes, to look at Rael, and when he saw him ignoring him more he felt even angrier.

'This kid...'

Sweat formed on Rael's forehead but looking at Shi spouting words full of air... he really wanted to laugh. Even Rael didn't praise himself so much in front of people though he praised himself in his mind.

"Hey! Are you listening?!" Shi flustered and asked in a hesitating tone.

"Yeah...you were saying about how amazing you were..."

"...."

"You bastard! You didn't listen to a single thing!"

Rael just snorted, he did not like to listen to other people talking about themselves. At this moment he dearly missed his royal council who flattered him at every second.

"You want to practice spar with me?" Shi asked in a suggestive tone.
