Chapter 117: Ice Princess Regrets Immensely (part 1)

"So, what about me?" Cornelia pointed at herself and leaned closer to Dekan.

"Uh..." Dekan scratched his head.

Although he had finally reunited with Cornelia and experienced a moment of reassurance from the soul, the plan for later would temporarily separate him from Cornelia.

"Cornelia, this time you’re mainly in charge of logistical work. You’ve already worked real hard helping me move the goods here. You only need to help me do a bit more work. After that, you can go and take a rest at the lord's mansion. It's amazing there."

Dekan looked into her eyes and said seriously.

This time, they had to deal with the enormous Destruction Demon Lord. Also, Cornelia had a significant gap in tier compared to it, making a head-on confrontation impossible.

Bringing Cornelia along would only put her in danger, so Dekan assigned her other tasks this time.

"Oh, o-okay! I'll wait for you to come, come back and have din-dinner together." Cornelia replied happily.

She didn't mind what kind of work she did; as long as things got done, it was fine. She always listened to Dekan. And her expression already revealed her anticipation for the seven-star hotel-like lord's mansion that Dekan had mentioned.

"Meow! I also want to go back to the hotel early!"

Hearing about the trip, Teacher Cat naturally followed Cornelia and Croix.

It was originally entrusted by Dekan to accompany Cornelia. These days, it had even been taken back to Cornelia's home by her. Even Teacher Cat felt like it was "a pet kitty left in a friend's home when the owner was away."

But it believed this must be a misperception.

How could the dignified Teacher Cat be a pet cat?

Dekan swooshed in from the side and picked up Teacher Cat by its nape. Looking at it, he said, "You can't, obediently follow me to work!"

Teacher Cat was an expert at hiding in the shadows, Dekan didn't have to worry too much about its survival. Although it was a tough nut to crack, Dekan could still occasionally make use of it.

"Why, meow! How come Cornelia can go to the lord's mansion to enjoy butI have to go to the front lines with you?! I don't want to go and court death, meow!"

"You are safe with me. The safest place in the world is undoubtedly by my side."

"Meow, no! I won't go, meow!"

Teacher Cat struggled and resisted, breaking free from Dekan's control and pitifully diving into Cornelia's arms.

Even inside the carriage, it could hear the resounding shocks coming from the outskirts of the city.

Knights were evacuating the civilians on the streets.

The knight order did not rush to support the Ice Princess.

In the battlefield between the Ice Princess and the Destruction Demon Lord, they could not only be of no help but would become a burden.

Teacher Cat also absolutely didn't want to get involved!

Maybe following Dekan was indeed the safest in a certain sense. But at the same time, it was the most dangerous!

Its heart couldn't take it.

Last time in the Blizzard Mountain Villa, it was scared all night by this bad guy Dekan!

"Wuu..." Cornelia held Teacher Cat with a dilemma.

She was reluctant to part with the cat in her hands, but she also felt that she should let Teacher Cat help Dekan.

After hesitating for a moment, she decided to hand Teacher Cat over to Dekan.

Before she could pass the cat over, Dekan sighed helplessly. "Ah, forget it, forget it. You just stay with her; I can handle it myself."

"Hooray, meow!" Teacher Cat cheered. Its weak and pitiful appearance from just now instantly disappeared. It stopped pretending.

Cornelia: "Is, is this really fine?"

Dekan: "It's fine. If I don't have this cat, I'll, uh, have to use some other tactics on my own."

After briefly explaining to the lord the tasks that the logistics team needed to do later, Dekan and Croix jumped off the carriage together.

Then, Croix, handling wind magic, took Dekan towards the direction of the flickering flames outside the city.

...

Outside of Tristin City.

Frost and flames intertwined and collided in mid-air, accompanied by the furious roars of the Destruction Demon Lord.

To the north, there was a vast expanse of thick, black clouds. Several terrifying vortex air currents swirled in the air. The sound of the storm came like muffled thunder.

In the southern sky, the sun hung high in the sky. There wasn't a single cloud in the sky, as if they had all been blown away. 𝖋𝔯𝔢𝔢𝖜𝖊𝖇𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖊𝔩.𝖈𝖔𝖒

The colossal body of the Destruction Demon Lord was floating on the ground, unable to fly anymore.

It was a giant dragon demon, its red and black colored body enveloped in terrifying flames.

The massive body didn't appear cumbersome but rather noble and majestic, exuding an indescribable sense of oppression!

Ice Princess tried various attempts to stop this uncontrollable Destruction Demon Lord.

The only thing she was sure of was that she had to maintain the wind magic to disrupt the airflow, preventing the Destruction Demon Lord from continuing to fly.

After a brief skirmish, she had already discovered that the Destruction Demon Lord's orders were not to pursue anyone.

Instead, it was given a very simple order - Destroy Tristin City.

The owner of the Destruction Demon Lord, Evans, must be far away, unable to personally come and command.

In the case of summoning creatures from a long distance, summoners usually give the most simple and clear instructions to prevent errors or manipulation of the summoned creatures.

Compared to the order "Attack Ice Princess," the command "Destroy Tristin City" made Ice Princess more desperate.

Because of this, Ice Princess would have no way to use herself as bait to confront the Destruction Demon Lord.

She could only desperately block the Destruction Demon Lord in front of Tristin City.

Although she had tried her best to intercept the Destruction Demon Lord, the Destruction Demon Lord's crowd control resistance and the formidable body of the tier 8 epic summon creature made her feel deeply powerless.

Just as Ice Princess was preparing to try a new strategy, the Destruction Demon Lord suddenly raised its head and emitted a thunderous roar!

That sound wave vibrated as if it were tangible!

From afar, a terrifying sound wave quickly spread.

A flow of air like a circular arc burst out, instantly dispersing the storm vortexes in the sky!

The anger in the roar seemed to shake the heavens!

The ferocious Destruction Demon Lord actually dispelled the storm with its powerful roar!

As the roar ended, the Destruction Demon Lord, without warning, opened its mouth, and a deep red breath swept across the land and the sky, enveloping the Ice Princess.

Then, without hesitation, it flew towards Tristin City again.

No matter how the Ice Princess, suspended in mid-air, constructed ice walls for protection, she couldn't completely resist it. Her arms and face were burnt by the breath, leaving behind bloodstains.

She couldn't use the higher tier spell card "Ice Block" to freeze herself.

If she did that, although she could perfectly avoid the attack, the Destruction Demon Lord would have reached Tristin City by the time she regained mobility!

Watching the Destruction Demon Lord about to depart, Ice Princess, with a look of determination, used a spell card.

[Frozen Abyss]

[Category: Spell Card]

[Rarity: Orange Epic]

[Tier: 8]

[Effect: Freezes the surrounding area, imparting a freezing area of effect. Combat mode: user’s normal attacks will be transformed to deal ice attribute magic damage. Continuous mana consumption on activation. Fixed damage. Unaffected by the user's magic attribute.]

[Note: Ice Princess's masterpiece.]

The continuous rumbling sound echoed, and the ground was instantly covered with a thick layer of ice.

Starting from the Ice Princess's surroundings, ice layers shattered one after another. Numerous large cracks swayed and extended, transforming into countless chasms! Afterward, large chunks of ice emerged from the ice surface, floating in mid-air.

In an instant, all the floating ice chunks flew towards the Destruction Demon Lord!

Amidst the streaking whistles, mixed with the Destruction Demon Lord's angry roar, there were sounds of ice breaking.

The body of the Destruction Demon Lord, flying like a meteor, broke through countless ice blocks. But its speed was significantly slowed down.

Finally, it plummeted again.
