Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Thick black smoke filled the sky as the smell of burning flesh fused toward the surrounding void, making one's stomach churn as it couldn't contain its disgusting smell.

On the ground, the charred yet cold bodies of countless corpses scattered around, making the scene akin to apocalyptic war as dry blood stained the surroundings.

Boom!

Boom!

Within the centre of the town, above the exquisite tower that was similar to the exquisite buildings built in the Renaissance era...

A being unfolded his bat-like wings, floating in high altitude, holding a silver trident in his right hand as he faced the middle-aged man, wearing a blue cold robe that reached its feet in the distance- revealing a smile akin to mocking as he slowly opened his mouth, revealing its spike like tongue beyond before speaking in maddening tone.

"Keke~ Augustine, it's really worth it to sacrifice hundreds of lives just to force us out?

"Do you think that the old man wouldn't blame you upon seeing what kind of things you did in his beloved town?"

Hearing this, the expression of the middle-aged man didn't change a bit, only revealing a cold expression that he always had as he slowly raised his head- gazing straight to the crimson eyes of the devil before replying in unprecedented coldness, causing the temperature around him to decrease drastically as the visibility within diminish by amount...

As if even the atmosphere began to freeze due to the aura he subconsciously released.

"It's necessary, I wouldn't be able to catch the traitor if I didn't do that... If the old man blames me... I wouldn't harbour a thought..."

"Besides that, no one will become comfortable upon knowing that venomous snakes managed to infiltrate one's house, isn't it... Veronica?"

He suddenly said, making the smile of the devil above widen as the man slowly shifted his gaze toward the glass windows of the tower- momentarily pausing before hurling an ice shard toward the specific window...

Pop- Ripple~

However, the expected explosion and the bursting of the window into countless fine pieces of glass didn't occur, instead, the surface of the glass window unfolds a ripple- consuming the ice shards toward its mysterious depths before vanishing in a matter of seconds.

Hehehe~

"As expected of the Ice King... However, how did you know that I was the traitor?"

Soon, the alluring sound of the woman, evoking one's deepest desire abruptly echoed toward the surroundings- causing the man to furrow his white brow as the slender yet soft limbs of the woman slowly emerged from the surface of the fragile glass...

Coming from the unknown as its scene that could instinctively cause a mortal to become petrified due to its inexplicably unfold toward the fissure above.

Soon, upon fully emerging from the glasses, the woman lightly opened her red lips, mumbling an incoherent language- summoning countless glasses from the void that scattered toward the far distance... Reflecting the eve of sunlight, causing them to become blinding to one's eyes.

"Because you're an idiot, that's why..."

Seeing this, the man in the blue robe speaks seriously, his expression never changes a bit as he slowly unfolds his palms, having no plans to explain how he determined that she was a traitor since he deemed it idiotic.

Swish!

In an instant, upon opening his palms, the cold gale of winds akin to a petrifying blizzard swiftly materialized from the unknown void, instantly shrouding the place, consuming everyone within the encompassing of the buildings (at least 150 meters in diameter) in penetrating coldness...

Creating a thin layer of ice within the surface of the concrete road... As the vibrant grasses planted within their corner become cold solid.

Furthermore, even the innocent residents who were running for their lives, within its area of effects couldn't escape the calamity- making beings below the Foundation realm slowly become ice frozen... Killing them in a matter of seconds that even their expression hadn't managed to change due to the sudden change of the event.

"Keke~ you're much more suitable to become devil than some of us..."

Beholding this, the devil above revealed an amused expression on its face- hiding the discomfort within as his altitude dropped by a little due to the obstruction from the blizzard, shivering slightly as the gleam of its crimson eyes deepened...

"Keke~ I just need to stall him for 10 minutes right?'

***

Hearing this, the Ice King didn't bother to reply, instead, he hurriedly activated his divine senses, instantly allowing him to pry 1,000 meters away from his current location- instantly allowing him to discern the chaos unfolding within the town, seeing the destruction of the devil spawn cause...

As the 3 Core Formation realm being that was left to the town to protect it began to battle the enemies.

"At least 8 Core Formation realm. 1 at the late stage, 2 at the middle, and the rest were at the early stage...'

Ice King seriously thought, eying the Late Core Formation realm devil above before unhurriedly shifting his gaze toward Veronica who was unexpectedly and surprisingly at the mid stage of the Core Formation realm... Making his expression slowly turn grim upon understanding what they were up to.

"Stalling for time?'

Although he was above them by a realm, currently at the very Peak of the Core Formation realm, In able to finish the two off it would still take him time, at least 5 minutes at the best... A thing that he couldn't allow if he didn't want the town to crumble!

...

"Huff~ unfortunately, I didn't manage to step toward Nascent Soul in time...

"However...'

However, although that was the case, the Ice King revealed a light smile on his face, an opposite expression that he always portrays, causing the two to suddenly feel unease within as the premonition of danger gripped their soul...

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the urge within their being to run, the Devil spawn and the woman exchange glances toward each other, nodding slightly before rushing toward the man beneath... Not caring about the chills brought by the intense blizzard toward their physique as they simultaneously cast their skills...

"Mirror of Countless Forms.'

Soon, upon closing the distance toward the Ice King, Veronica suddenly raised her left smooth hand, seemingly holding an imperceptible item within as she suddenly motioned a slash toward the man... Instantly causing the void to tremble as the blizzard that perfectly aligned on her motioned slash visibly parted away- making the scene mesmerizing yet mysterious at the same time.

Swoosh~ (Sound of Intense snow blizzard.)

Frowning his white brows, the Ice King lightly tapped his feet, causing his physique to elevate toward the atmosphere... Flying above afterwards upon being carried by the intense blizzard, timely evading the imperceptible attack that leaves long gashes toward the cold ground...

However, just as he distanced himself from the ground, the back of his skin suddenly perceived heat from behind... Followed by the premonition of danger as he hurriedly clicked his thumb toward his middle finger, immediately producing a crisp sound as a thick wall of ice, almost had meter of thickness swiftly materialized on his back.

Sizzle~ Sizzle~

Obstructing the flaming trident of the Devil spawn, creating a sizzling sound as the thick wall of ice swiftly turns into liquid... before evaporating afterwards as it lightly hindered the vision of the Devil...

Swish! Swish!

As the Devil was about to retract its trident, knowing that its attempt to catch the other party off guard already become ineffective...

countless ice of shards, as long as short daggers suddenly emerged from the hot fog in his front, making his expression change slightly as a large mirror, almost as big as his figure appeared in his front- timely blocking the fast approaching ice shard... Causing him to heave a sigh of relief as he hurriedly unfolded his bat like wings, revealing a blur as he vanished in the sight of Ice King.

"As expected of Core Formation realm being, they are all hard to deal..."

...

"Eyes of Deprived Heat...'

The Ice King weakly mumbled under his breath, blinking hurriedly as the colour of his irises became deeper, causing beings who accidentally stared at his eyes to freeze as if their soul became petrified by the unknown...

Still not done, he leisurely stretches his right hand toward the void, seemingly grasping something as he slowly retracts his hand... Unfolding an exquisitely sculpted ice staff within- further lowering the temperature around, to the point of almost reaching absolute zero!

Above the staff, a ball of flickering blue light reflects the face of the Ice King- instantly elevating his figure, making him much more colder and glorious in the process.

"Staff... Of the Cursed Cold...'

Instinctively mumbling the name of his Soul Bound Weapon within his mind. The Ice King hurriedly gazed toward the floating mirror above the atmosphere... Lightly waving his staff toward their direction, causing them to become frozen solid before bursting into fine powder afterwards... before being carried by the gale of wind in the next second...

Buwack!
