Chapter 180 180:Hidden Scenario
[A new content has been implemented.]
[The hidden scenario unfolded.]
[The difficulty is raised.]
[Group up and defeat the Remnant of Evil Ice Witch.]
As soon as the ordeal helper's voice ended, immense shock and frustration flashed over everyone's expression as they faced mighty icy gales that made them shiver in cold.
Being hit out of nowhere, they screamed in anger.
"What the hell?"
"Now what kind of shit is this?"
"I thought the hidden scenario was something to do with the battle royal but this isn't fair."
"A boss monster."
"Are you fucking kidding me?"
"If it's too strong, aren't we all getting eliminated today?"
With a chilling blast, everyone's vision was obscured by a layer of mist hovering around the place.
Soon, a scratching howl resonated, shaking the layer of cold mist.
Everyone gulped their saliva as the voice of the howling rang in their ears following which the lake portion of the place exploded forming a shallow cavity from which a woman's body made of ice from head to toe emerged.
Inside the woman's completely transparent chest, an unpleasant black mass of condensed energy trembled forming a heart shape and started to beat violently.
"Remnants of the Evil Ice Witch.''
Frederick's eyes looking at the woman fluttered violently.
Rose with a staggering gait got back onto her feet and stared at the figure with a weary gaze.
"I can't feel its strength," Rose murmured with a frown.
"It's a boss monster with power hidden by the Tower," Frederick answered with a messy, suffocating feeling.
'Why are things so different?'
Frederick sucked in cold air to calm himself.
Though confused by Frederick's answer, Rose didn't let her thoughts wander and concentrated on the new enemy.
At that time, the Evil Ice which fully awakens let out a loud cry.
A howl that was quite closer to the monster than that of a human thundered across the place.
Swish!Swish!Swish!Swish!
A ghastly chill erupted submerging everything in a frozen layer of ice.
"Holy shit!"
"Let's group up."
"Wizards start with cold defence."
"I have been trying to set barriers but it's so strong that the spell isn't working."
"Damn, just what is the level of its strength? Is the Tower kidding us by dragging a max-level boss monster to deal with low-level warriors?"
"Shit…We are going to die."
Loud shrieks and grumbles echoed everywhere.
The students defended against the cold with a bewildered expression at the rapidly decreasing temperature of the place.
Small cubes of ice formed around the Ice Witch that started taking the shape of transparent Ice golems and started assaulting them.
In the span of a few moments, everyone engaged in combat with the Ice Golems.
Rose kept on firing arrow after arrow destroying the Ice golems while Frederick maintained an endless rhythm of spear swings.
While Charles thwarted the golem with huge rocky boulders, Tiffany smashed the golem's head by throwing axes, one after the other.
Axel with Steel Fist knocked them down smashing them directly with his body.
As if they were competing with one another for the number of kills, leaving behind a gust of wind Ezekiel and Lucas jumped on a group of Ice Golem as a wolf charging over the flock of sheep.
Ezekiel Flame Ignis sliced through the golems as if a hot knife cutting through the butter.
KANG!KANG!KANG!KANG!KANG!
Soon, the golem that was humanoid shaped started to get bigger.
Lucas put down his other sword and got serious after seeing a humongous Ice Golem. He threw a few fireballs but G's rank skill was ineffective in dealing with Ice Golems.
It didn't even put a dent in it.
On observing around, his eyes fall on Raon rolling on the ground and facing trouble to get over the horde. Lucas was about to move when he saw Parth's zig-zag movements cutting through Golem's head surrounding Roan but much to his surprise, the Golem kept on moving after their head was sliced.
Lucas sensing danger from behind, rumpled down letting an arm pass over the place his head was previously, and then reversing his sword grip, he spun around slicing the golem with an upward stroke.
The Ice golem split apart however to Lucas's surprise, the narrow gap that formed was soon joined with and attacked Lucas again.
BOOM!
A huge palm descended and struck the ground.
"Tsk!" Lucas jumped back, clicking his tongue.
'This bigger one is a bit difficult to deal with.'
'It can move as long as a part of its whole body is intact. Should I blow it up with a grenade? No, I don't know if it can do this.'
'Moreover, if this small minion can regenerate, I am damn sure that this witch can also regenerate.'
'There was just a tiny bit of content about it which was written in dialogue form between Julian and Issac who managed to overpower them with their bloodline ability making it quite helpless.'
'We can't go on like this, we need information. Strong boss monsters had a definitive pattern. We need to find the pattern to deal with.'
Unfortunately, much to his surprise, no one seemed to be focusing on Ice Witch.
Even Frederick had forgotten about observing boss monsters due to keeping his eyes on Rose.
Lucas wanted to curse but gave away at the end to understand Frederick's current emotions.
'Haaa!At least he had a girl to protect, unlike some single dogs like us.'
Grumbling inwardly, Lucas flicked his sword.
Mana swirled around the sword tip of the red sword letting out a gleeful shriek.
Pressing his feet harder on the ground, Lucas tilted his body and propelled his body.
The world around Lucas blurred.
The surroundings changed.
Appearing right before the huge bulky Ice Golem, Lucas stabbed straight into Ice Golem Chest.
From the point where the tip of the sword touched the icy chest of the golem, an incandescent flicker lit up the place.
A destructive force crackled.
BOOOM!
The body of the icy golem was blasted into tatters with a loud explosion ringing like thunder.
After this, the many outbursts shook the place as if grenades were set off like fireworks.
At that moment, a tremendous surge of mana revolved around Ice Witch and more Ice golems were produced from that forming a huge horde.
However before they could make their way, Monica stood in their path followed by many wizards who supported her.
[Flame Tide]
Gurgle.....
A huge sea of flames rose from the place Monica stood and surging forward crashed over the Ice Golems melting them.
Perhaps it wasn't enough or seeing its plan foiled, the remnant began to suck in cold air inside the place as if preparing for something.
The Ice Golem immediately melted and vanished into the cold air as if they never existed.
It was then, everyone felt a shiver down their spine.
"Stop it!"
"Damn, no matter what stop it."
A sense of crisis surged inside everyone.
Instinct...At that moment everyone instinctively felt that it was dangerous.
"Rose back me up."
With a loud shout, Frederick's image began to rush towards the remnants with a firm expression.
The other students also started rushing in after Frederick with firm expressions to take down the boss monster because they knew the person who killed this monster would get great points.
And those points may help them to rank higher even if they lose or get eliminated later.
In mid-away when their eyes met, everyone had a tacit understanding.
Swish!
Charles appeared in front of the remnant in an instant after riding on surf made of rocks and inserted his sword towards the heart of the remnant.
But…
Charles's body bounced back by an Ice blast which was made by a gentle wave of the hand of Ice Witch as if caught an insect.
An arrow sweeping out everything in its path struck Ice Witch but it bounced off as if it was just a piece of paper.
Axel, Tiffany, David, Parth and many 3-Stars who were near, struck the Ice witch but all of them were blown away by a strong gust of freezing wind.
Though they were blown away easily, they managed to cover the killing strike.
A bluish rapier appeared from behind and Humphrey swung the rapier straight towards the neck.
The light in Humphrey's eyes disappeared when his spear connected.
"What??"
He was flabbergasted.
Why?
Because his rapier struck with almost full power left only a small scratch on the neck and couldn't dig further.
The Ice Witch's sharp hand pierced Humphrey's stomach and shook her hand lightly.
Soon after, the remnant shakes her hand lightly, sending Humphry flying back with spurting blood and crashing onto the frozen surface.
The image of an immobilised and motionless Humphrey made one think that he was dead but there was no room to look at him like at.
In the meantime, the cold air was constantly sucked into remnants.
In the meantime, Axel appeared right next to her and slammed a huge boulder with a mad dash along with his body.
It was a blow that cannot be overlooked as a direct hit would destroy you into tatters even if you are in 5-Star due to toughness and use of Steel body.
The Ice Witch defended by transforming a portion of the frost power it collected after which the surface of the frozen lake soared upwards with a roar of dozens of bombs that exploded all at once.
From the beginning, Frederick knew that there was a boss attack incoming so he was preparing to disrupt it at the end moment that might backfire on it.
"Now!"
With his declaration, the archers and magic shot towards it while Frederick amassing a great amount of magical power threw his spear toward the attack.
A huge shockwave spread throughout the place combined with the aftermath that occurred earlier.
To some extent this time, the remnant of Ice Witch flattered and retreated, nevertheless, it was still condensing the cold air.
"Damn it!"
"Don't tell me this wasn't it?"
"Stop it!"
The students shuddered in fear realising that this wasn't its ultimate attack.
It was the moment when the remnant of Ice Witch who looked emotionless at desperately rushing students was finally about to unleash the condensed cold attack.
A spear that pierced everything in its path unfolded.
The spear tip appeared over Ice Witch without warning and pierced the centre of the condensed cold.
As if it wasn't enough, the spear moved in a smooth curve trying to smash the core where the power was gathering.
The Ice Witch's body raised both hands to block Frederick's attack but it was also for naught and a lightning blast occurred.
A veil of fog covered.
"It's over."
"We did it."
"Frederick ki...."
Just as they were about to rejoice, the temperature of the place dropped by margins after which everyone's field of view was filled was turned white.
