Prime Originator Chapter 531 - Icicle Shower

Chapter 531 - Icicle Shower

"Princess Thessalia!"

Many elves on the Great Wall cried while everyone else widened their eyes in shock at the penetrative power of the mutated rat's ballistic lightning spikes.

Swoosh~!

Supreme Elder Haldir immediately took off from the Great Wall after equipping his vine armor and wings, flying towards the plummeting airs.h.i.+p in hopes of saving Princess Thessalia.

"Please be safe, Princess Thessalia!" The elves quickly prayed.

In the elven camp outside of the military city, Faelyn suddenly turned towards the Great Wall, vaguely sensing something that made her heart anxious.

"Is everything alright, Your Highness? Your face looks a bit pale," An elvish man asked out of concern after placing down a barrel and wiping the sweats off his forehead.

Faelyn touched her cheeks absentmindedly before she shook her head, "It's fine. I'm just feeling a little unsettled for some reason."

"Perhaps, something big has happened on the Great Wall? If it puts your heart at peace, you can go check, Your Highness. You do not need to worry about us. We'll be fine on our own for now." Another elvish man spoke.

At that moment, large banana leaf trees were erected everywhere in the area, sucking up all the water in the ground and casting a ma.s.sive shade over the elven camp for the tribesmen to take shelter from the hot sun.

Many tribesmen could be seen resting on the vine floor, ma.s.saging their sore muscles from the long trip, while others fanned themselves due to the heat.

At the same time, a few elven volunteers could be seen distributing bananas around to the tribesmen to satiate their hunger and recover their energy.

"Then I will go and check for a bit," Faelyn said hesitantly while looking around at her tribesmen, urging her to leave.

"Yes, Your Highness. Don't worry about us and go with a peace of mind."

"Yeah, maybe you can share with us what is happening out there when you are back, your Highness."

The tribesmen spoke.

"Alright, thank you, everyone." Faelyn nodded before she departed the elven camp with a big banana leaf over her head.

Shortly after, Faelyn arrived on the Great Wall.

"What's the current situation?"

"Y-Your Highness? Y-You're here."

The elven warriors were surprised before Faelyn nodded with furrowed brows and said, "Yes, is that a problem?"

"Perhaps, it's better not to come here. It's not safe, Your Highness." An elven warrior warned with a mixture of fear and concern.

Nevertheless, the elven warrior did not retreat from his post.

Faelyn could immediately sense the tense atmosphere on the Great Wall before she made her way through the rows of elven warriors and soldiers lined up on the wall.

Before she could reach the front, she heard General Marquis Hendrick shouted, "Raise your s.h.i.+elds and brace for impact! Here comes another volley of spikes!"

At the same time, General Marquis Hendrick snapped his fingers and summoned a winding tempest in front of the Great Wall to divert some of the incoming lightning spikes.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Thousands of ballistic lightning spikes quickly rained on the Great Wall in quick successions, causing audible rumbles on the wall before some soldiers and elven warriors were struck from the front!

The power of the ballistic lightning spikes immediately pierced the s.h.i.+elds of several dozen soldiers and elven warriors, blasting them off the Great Wall along with everyone else behind them!

Faelyn froze as the few people besides her were blown off the Great Wall along with the other unlucky soldiers and elven warriors struck by the ballistic lightning spikes.

The remaining soldiers and elven warriors drew deep breathes to calm their tight nerves before their expression turned extremely grave.

No one knew when the next volley of ballistic lightning spikes would strike them next.

Even so, they cannot retreat unless they were given the order to withdraw. No one also knew when the next breath they draw will be their last, but they were prepared to be killed at any moment!

"Such power… this isn't something people below the 9th step Awakener can withstand!" General Marquis Hendrick frowned.

Looking at the gaps in their formation, he was about to order the troops to reform themselves and fill the gaps.

However, such orders were the same as sending the weaker troops to death.

Faelyn shortly recovered before searched the sky.

"Where's the airs.h.i.+p? Where's my elder sister, Princess Thessalia?" Faelyn quickly asked a nearby warrior after failing to locate the airs.h.i.+p. After a moment, she also added, "Where's the Supreme Elder as well?"

"Princess Thessalia and the Supreme Elder are…" The elven warrior shortly responded while turning his gaze towards the front.

Faelyn frowned and quickly made her way to the front before noticing the airs.h.i.+p had crashlanded on the surface in the middle of the mutated rat tide.

Although a dome of vines fully enclosed the deck and successfully prevented the mutated rats from breaking through, the condition of the people inside remained uncertain.

In the sky, Aria bit her lips with a heavy and guilt-ridden expression.

Although she slew a large portion of the mutated rat tide, she also made the situation worse for the others.

Who would have known the mutated rats were capable of such transformations?

Shortly after, Aria's eyes became resolute with intense killing intent.

If lightning attacks are no longer effective against the mutated rat tide, she will use elemental ice attacks instead!

She raised one of her hands into the sky before the surrounding temperature quickly plummeted below the freezing point.

Shortly after, the raindrops transformed into sharp icicles, frozen in midair around Aria.

Once her raised hand was dropped, volleys of icicle attacks immediately rained down on the mutated rat tide, impaling thousands of mutated rats to death!

Some dozen miles away from the Great Wall, Leon arrived on a distant hill with Silver stopping beside him.

The rat tide had shrunk significantly since he last left the Great Wall.

However, the situation appeared quite delicate and dangerous as he observed the ongoing icicle shower ahead with [Spirit Eyes].

Shortly after, his gaze s.h.i.+fted to the fallen airs.h.i.+p and spikes in the Great Wall.

"To think the Great Wall would fall to such dire straits even with the Elder Tree's help in the area…" Leon muttered with a raised brow before he quickly urged, "Let's go, Silver! Time to hunt!"

"Awrooo!"
