Chapter 430: Chapter 355 Assassination Scene

The most eye-catching feature was the ice house that had appeared out of thin air in the center of the hall. The ice house looked like an overturned dome hat, with a radius of at least thirty feet, and its walls were made of ice blocks that were at least a foot thick, making it impossible to see inside.

Lancelot’s keen hearing picked up some subtle sounds. His expression changed, and without minding the coldness of the ice wall, he pressed his ear against it. He immediately heard the familiar panting of the Succubus, as well as the sounds of claws swiping through the air and spear tips poking hard surfaces.

“Tijana is inside!” he announced to his companions, “She’s under attack!”

“Have we stumbled into an assassination scene?” Bruto immediately drew out his hammer and smashed it hard against the ice wall.

After their journey to Androlina, the Dwarf’s strength had grown considerably. A full-powered blow from his hammer would have been too much even for Lancelot’s mithril armor, but after a loud bang, only a dent the size of a shoe print appeared on the blue ice wall. The ice blocks made by magic clearly had extraordinary strength.

“Leave this to me. You all go find help!”

Lancelot stopped the Dwarf from further attempts and pulled out a semi-transparent one-handed sword from his pocket. Starlight Strike probably couldn’t make lifeless objects disappear, but after all, this was a divine artifact. With its toughness and sharpness, it should be more than sufficient to carve a hole in the ice wall.

The others wasted no words and ran straight for the exit of the Throne Hall. But soon, a heavy impact sound rang out, followed by the Dwarf’s angry roar:

“No good, it’s sealed shut, we can’t get out!”

“Then get armored up fast!” Lancelot immediately shouted back, “Prepare for battle!”

Having said that, he no longer paid attention to the people behind him and focused on the task at hand. The nearly transparent blade of the one-handed sword shimmered with bright sword aura, and he used it as a chisel, inching his way into the ice wall. With the aid of the Qingyun Sword Art, the resistance felt almost like that of an ordinary person stabbing a dagger into a tree trunk, and it shouldn’t take long for Lancelot to puncture through the ice.

The Human Knight now was not in the same state as during the battle of Pascaler. After a month of recuperation, not only had he returned to his peak condition, but his cultivation had even greatly increased, faintly touching on the verge of a breakthrough to the mid-Foundation Establishment Stage.

Under normal circumstances for Spiritual Cultivators, it would be impossible to achieve this progress without three to four years of dedicated training. But Lancelot’s case was a bit special. First of all, battles on the verge of death had greatly promoted his cultivation; secondly, his core cultivation technique, the Cauldron Immortal Technique created by Han Tiansun, was certainly not low-tier. Although it seemed to lack powerful offensive divine skills, the speed of cultivation power increase was truly fast.

In addition, the Qingyun Sword Art that he cultivated had a very peculiar property: starting from the fourth tier, he had to disperse his previous cultivation power with a special technique called the Three Revolutions Heavy Yuan Technique before he could break through to the next tier. He would have to start cultivating from the third tier again. This Three Revolutions Heavy Yuan Technique could not only be used to disperse the cultivation power of the Qingyun Sword Art, but it could also increase the speed of recultivation after dispersing the power.

After the battle of Pascaler, Lancelot was nearly drained of all his energy. He started practicing the Three Revolutions Heavy Yuan Technique with a try-and-see attitude. To his surprise, after dispersing less than ten percent of his True Yuan, his body began absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Energy like a vortex, even causing a phenomenon between heaven and earth, forcing him to hide in the mountains for several days to avoid the curious gazes of the kind residents.

As he re-cultivated the Qingyun Sword Art back to the peak of the fourth tier, his realm reached the minor accomplishment stage of Foundation Establishment. Lancelot had a premonition that once he broke through to the fifth tier of the Qingyun Sword Art, he would naturally progress to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. By then, when he met Tijana, he would be able to stand a bit straighter.

The pressure from the blade in his hand suddenly eased, and Lancelot knew he had pierced through the ice wall. He quickly withdrew Starlight Strike, revealing a small gap three fingers wide on the icy surface, and the previously faint voices became clear. Lancelot’s Spirit Perception immediately sensed the situation inside.

Beyond the Succubus Lord, there were four other enemies inside, all undoubtedly Demons, and each stronger than Ulgog. Lancelot suddenly felt a twinge of guilt; it was possible that these Demons had come because of the incident at Oasis Fort. At that time, the Succubus Lord had taken away the sword of the Enreyes and inadvertently carried away the blame as well.

He turned his head to see Bruto had already suited up in his Armor, pulling on a Helmet engraved with a Berserk Demon, while Alamir had raised a Shield emblazoned with the Holy Emblem of the Fire Lady. Kalalin… Kalalin had taken a position behind the two, a spot that made casting spells less likely to be interrupted.

Lancelot extended one arm behind him, and knocked on the Armor at his waist with a clenched fist, a gesture that meant ‘be on guard, battle could start at any moment’. Then, he placed his other hand over the small hole he had just chiseled, creating a tiny shadow connected to himself.

The next instant, Lancelot activated Shadow Jump and entered the interior of the ice wall.

The world lost its color in his eyes for a moment, and after moving a very short distance, it quickly returned to normal. The ice wall that was originally in front of him had now moved behind him, and ahead, the Succubus Lord was being assaulted by four massive creatures.

The creatures were over ten feet tall with blue Carapaces, resembling upright walking mantises. Their insect-like heads had eyes like those of a fly, and mandibles like pincers protruded from the circular mouths below. They had upper limbs similar to human arms, hands with four fingers holding a Spear emitting cold air, while their lower limbs were locust-like insectoid legs and a thick tail that merged with their stomachs.

Lancelot knew little about Demons and had no idea what these giant insects were, but he could understand the situation of the battle. Tijana, besieged, was at a complete disadvantage. The Succubus Lord lacked her beautiful Mithril Full Body Armor, wearing only a dress that appeared to offer no Protection; she was also unarmed, relying solely on her agile movements to dodge the enemy’s attacks. However, the ice walls around her limited her range of motion, and she had already sustained several injuries.

What was worse, the attacks from the demons seemed to contain a special kind of coldness that noticeably slowed down Tijana’s speed. Additionally, Lancelot’s Spirit Perception detected something very special but somewhat familiar: an Anti-Magic Zone. Among those Demons, there must have been someone carrying something like an Anti-Magic Stone, preventing Tijana from using her magical abilities and resulting in such a disadvantaged situation.
