A sky filled with frost and snow!

Each Frostburst inflicted Magic Damage which exceeded a hundred points. Although the killing force resulted from the overlapping explosion could not hurt the fourteen Elementalists that had high Magic Defense plus activated Tier 4 dual-defense it was certainly a deadly threat to other cla.s.ses!

Aside from the two Beastblood Berserkers and the hardy Elementalists, all players of other cla.s.ses from Twelve Zodiacs' party were instant-killed!

Within this short time-frame, Slayer's Heart had simultaneously taken down the two remaining Elementalists that had joined Saga's earlier fight as well. As such, the fourteen Elementalists and two Beastblood Berserkers trapped inside the blizzard were the only battle members left from Twelve Zodiacs' party!

In comparison, Slayer's Heart side did not lose any of its ten members.

Ten against sixteen, this gave Slayer's Heart group a definite advantage in terms of both strength and morale.

Qin Ruo in his Aquamorph form hid well among the Twelve Zodiacs members. After he brazenly created an avalanche, he quickly used Elemental Perception to imprint the current status of each surviving Twelve Zodiacs member in detail into his mind. He then swiftly voice-messaged the info of the several enemies to his teammates through the party channel.

Slayer's Heart was the fastest to react…

He gulped in a large bottle of HP potion while Violet Orchid and Violetmoon Devilite were casting Healing Light on him. Then, he dove straight into the flurry of snow that had not settled yet, according to the coordinates Qin Ruo provided!

He ignored the two Beastblood Berserkers closest to him and dashed past them. His objective, as directed by Qin Ruo, was at about twenty meters away—where the fourteen Elementalists were at…

His Movement Speed was boosted by 45% with the Speed Potion's aid!

He moved like a specter and soon collided into someone within the snow. Once he heard the person's unfamiliar cry, he made no further delay and smashed the player with his hammering attack…

The Magic Penetration attribute of Pazuzu's Warhammer could pierce through any type of barrier or defensive magic to directly injure the player!

As long as he stuck close to his enemy, Slayer's Heart, would be able to determine his/her sequential response based on the feedback provided by the opponent's body reaction against his attack even with his eyes closed.

An explosive kill!

“Argh!!!” A painful scream ensued as the Elementalist died without a clue!

Before the heavy snow dispersed, Qin Ruo was getting more and more amazed by what he was witnessing. To his surprise, Slayer's Heart was able to swiftly put down two opponent's Elementalists in such a chaotic environment.

‘This is truly incredible.'

Not only Slayer's Heart—Burning Rose and others were also exceptional in their respective battles…

The two Beastblood Berserkers from the enemy party got out from the snow blast region almost at the same time as Slayer's Heart got in. After exposing themselves, the two isolated warriors were immediately greeted with Dinosaurcerer's Dark Magic and iLittle Arrow's Lunarshackle, respectively.

Little Apple took aim on one of them who was already weakened. She acted swiftly and left no room for the opponent to react. She brutally killed the enemy simply by launching a few attacks from the periphery.

On the other hand, Brother Da previous vigorous training finally paid off. The brand new Skythunder Slash and Five-style Tempest were more presentable now. He took down the other Beastblood Berserker before Lunarshackle'effect wore off.

Thus, when the snow in the air finally settled, only twelve Elementalists remained standing on the battlefield!

Despite having a slight advantage in terms of numbers, plus the double defense state that still posed great trouble to most of Qin Ruo's group members, the Twelve Zodiacs Elementalists were unable to make simple decisions any more thanks to the battle vibe intentionally created by Qin Ruo and Slayer's Heart…

They were now both deeply frightened and overwhelmed after experiencing the heavy casualties on their side under Frostburst, in addition to the loud noise repeatedly sounded beside them when Slayer's Heart landed his violent and impactful attack.

They were more at loss seeing the actual circ.u.mstances when their vision was restored after the snow had completely dispersed…

Frostrampart!

Several Elementalists stood close nervously with each holding a Magic Scroll in their hand. They were prepared to heavily injure their opponents even if they would lose the fight. So they planned to attack relentlessly once anyone from the opponent team showed up.

However they were blinded by the Frostramparts, while the only enemy within their field of vision was moving unbelievably fast. That person was none other than Slayer's Heart, who had killed yet another person in the blink of an eye…

The one who drew out the Frostramparts was obviously Qin Ruo!

Such action not only protected the likes of Violet Orchid, but it also protected himself. He promptly blocked the vision of all Elementalists, forcing them to pay their attention only to Slayer's Heart as Qin Ruo had intended.

Right now, Slayer's Heart had consumed one bottle of 9-points quality HP Potion (L). He currently had 45 Vitality and about 1000 HP boost (for Berserkers, 1 Vitality Point equals 18 HP) … As long as he stayed cautious and not let the remaining eleven players focus fire on him, he should be alright.

Of course Qin Ruo was hoping that the enemies would pay more attention to others behind the Frostramparts too. This way, he could maximize the potential of his Frostrampart manipulation and buy more time for everyone in his team, which in turn would ease Slayer's Heart and the other few attackers' efforts in wiping out the Elementalists.

However he himself did not expect that his previous AoE attacks actually imbued terrible trauma in the minds of the Twelve Zodiac bunch…

The opponent Elementalists exclaimed when they saw the Frostramparts take shape before their eyes, while few of them even overreacted by using their Magic Scroll to get rid of the Frostramparts without a second thought!

Boom boom boom!!!

Four out of the five Frostramparts just established by Qin Ruo in the chaos was immediately blasted away…

After the Frostramparts collapsed, Violet Orchid and six other members were suddenly exposed to the opponent Elementalists' attack range. Qin Ruo was also affected too, as he was now facing three Elementalists alone. Both sides were equally stunned looking at each other. Qin Ruo, being shocked into a headful of cold sweat, then rapidly retreated while pulling out Magic Scroll from his backpack to redeem his carelessness!

In such short distance, Qin Ruo clearly caught that the three Elementalists came face to face with him were first lightly startled by the sudden appearance of a defenseless enemy behind the Frostrampart, and then… their eyes quickly reddened as if something had clicked in their mind!!

‘The Tier 4 Aquamancer! Qin Ruo!'

‘It's you, b.a.s.t.a.r.d!'

Three of them unanimously locked on to the single target and flicked open their Magic Scroll…

At the same time, the only Frosrampart left was pull over fast by Qin Ruo to s.h.i.+eld himself from the enemies.

“Frostrampart!”

“Aqua! Condense! Freeze!”

The Magic Scroll was used to summon out one Frostrampart while Qin Ruo condensed yet another one in front of him. Not long later, with three loud bangs, all three Frostramparts were shattered into pieces…

Once the Frostrampart was moved out of the way, the three Elementalists hurriedly trailed behind him. They continually pull out Magic Scroll from their backpack and this deeply annoyed Qin Ruo.

‘How bold and wasteful! It's just three Frostramparts, okay? Did they need to go that far by attacking them with Tier 4 Magic Scrolls like FireG.o.d's Fury, Darkfrost Sting, and Thunderclap?

‘What a shame!!!'

Knowing that the opponents were going to launch a second round of Magic Scroll attacks, Qin Ruo finally yelled “explode” to detonate the ice fragments slashed apart by the Darkfrost Sting. This resulted in a small area Frostburst and momentarily obstructed the homing attack by the opponent. Taking this opportunity, Qin Ruo activated Aquamorph that had just cooled down right before the opponent breached the snowy region…

Just as they rushed out from the small area Frostburst, the three Elementalists were instantly dumbfounded! The sudden appearing and disappearing act of the Tier 4 Aquamancer was once again re-enacted. He got away and completely vanished right under their nose. The nearest tree in the surrounding was at fifteen meters away, which was impossible for the slow Aquamancer to reach there that fast.

While Qin Ruo distracted them, Slayer's Heart suddenly sped up and hacked another three players with his AoE Thunderbolt Spin attack followed by the Thundercrack Slas.h.!.+

The other five Elementalists were also in deep trouble. With Violet Orchid's buff, Burning Rose singlehandedly took on two Elementalist opponents. Little Apple and Brother Da joined forces to take down some enemies. iLittle Arrow and Dinosaurcerer on the other hand instant-killed one zero-defense enemy with Gold Digger Babe's help, and now turned to the last person while being blessed by Violetmoon Devilite's buff.

The three Elementalists wanted to help out when they realized their comrades were in dire states. They were all set to unleash the Magic Scroll with the purpose of finis.h.i.+ng off the few players from the rival faction first…

Too bad Slayer's Heart was like a drugged fireman. He hurriedly pushed an Elementalist's corpse aside and ran madly toward them.

“Let's split up!”

“Block him with an Earthrampart!”

The chased down the Elementalists who were in turmoil. Before they could do anything, one after another Aquarampart had quietly frozen behind them, again…

Now the three Elementalists really wished they could kill the Aquamancer in real life. They had encountered difficult enemies before, but this was way overboard.

‘Which corner did he run into? Where is he hiding now?'

Out of panic, they finally gave up on rescuing their members and yelled, “Run!”. The strong will of holding their own ground had finally crumbled.

Suddenly!

The Mutant Darkshadow Archdemon, which had been self-contained thus far and observing the clash between the two parties from afar, roared loudly and marched heavily toward the chaotic fight scene…

The monster had certainly taken a calculative measure. The more than forty human adventurers were trimmed down to not more than twenty after the fight. This would be a good time for the wolf (as the saying goes—when shepherds quarrel, the wolf has the upper hand), to make a move!!

“d.a.m.n!”

Qin Ruo cursed silently after he heard the noise. This was because the three Elementalists who prepared to flee suddenly changed their mind…

“The Boss is coming! Hold them off!”

“My brothers, hold them with all you might! If we can't get it, don't dream that they could take the benefits too!”

The remaining seven Elementalists all withdrew simultaneously and changed from attacking to defensive stance. Some of them even began to utilized the low-tier Earthrampart and Pyrorampart to block Qin Ruo and company's attack…
