Chapter 4095 Extreme Cold Suppression (Seeking Votes)

"This power is..."

As the Great Witch of Chaos, Vige sensed a powerful force originating from the same source as the witch. In the firelight of the forest clearing, the monster ignored Vige and turned to look at the man who had already raised his hand.

Snowflakes fluttered down in March, and as the ring of fate behind him spun, flames burned, babies cried, and the cold wind howled, a sigh was heard.

The sigh seemed to transport Wei Ge to a melancholy silver-haired girl gazing at the moon from an icy plain surrounded by mountains. The sigh also imbued the chill of the moment with a heartbreaking sadness.

Winnie's chill seeped into Shad's body, and amidst the heavy snowfall that occurred on this spring night, an icy blue, transparent figure reached out from behind Shad and wrapped her arms around his neck. Then, the strange girl rested her head on Shad's left shoulder.

The little girl hugged Shad from behind, affectionately pressing her cheek against his, her face with her eyes closed displaying a serene and gentle expression.

Vige stared in disbelief at the scene before her. Only when Shad, carrying that transparent figure on his back, lunged at the enemy with a red moonlight greatsword in his right hand and an ice-blue longsword in his left, did Miss Rowling hear her mistress squeeze out a sound, as if from her throat:

"The power of the demigod witch."

Shad leaped into the air, spinning with his twin swords in hand. As he approached the ground, the two greatswords, one red and one ice-blue, slashed rapidly at his enemy. Under the combined effect of the crimson moon's decaying flesh and the extreme cold's freezing power, the pink-haired enemy cried out as he staggered backward.

Large areas of cuts and lacerations appeared on its body surface, the rotting wounds could not heal properly, and the frostbite at the wound site further suppressed its vitality.

With the aid of Winnie's power, Shad even felt that he could change the climate of the entire region with a single thought, plunging Arcadia back into winter.

Of course, he didn't do that.

When the church's ring sorcerers finally finished dealing with the opera house issues and spared some manpower to inspect the mechanical wreckage in the woods, thus discovering this area of ​​fire and snow, most of the pink monster's body had been frozen, and the putrid pus flowing from its wounds was almost forming small puddles on the ground.

Vige's Chaos Secret Technique disrupted the monster's ability to move. It knew it was facing a deadly crisis, but could only tremble and could not escape.

Above that sea of ​​fire, in the sky, Shad, wielding two swords and carrying Chloe's phantom on his back, raised both swords high towards the starry sky:

"Miraculous Technique: Falling Star Strike!"

Frosty colors, tinged with the hues of the starry sky, fell from the night sky, along with thousands of streams of icy blue light, each containing an ice core the size of a fist.

Boom!

As the stars fell, the frost almost froze most of the flames in the surrounding mountains and forests. The church's ring mages tried to rush into the frost fog created by the explosion to check the situation inside, but once inside, they felt as if their very lives were being frozen.

The impact created a deep crater in the ground. After braving the biting cold, Wei Ge entered the crater and saw that Xia De had returned to its normal size.

A crystal-clear maid stood around him, her body enveloped in frost, making her appear like a goddess in winter. Shad's right hand, radiating the glow of life, was pressed against the ice sculpture of the frozen monster before them.

The opponent's life force was frozen to the maximum extent. Without using the power of decay, Shad suppressed the activity of the "Twisted Life Seed" solely through the power of ice. In the story of fate, Winnie's power seemed to have little effect, but this time, the darling of nature born from the ice and snow could finally display its power.

At this moment, the embers were being continuously extracted from the monster's body and channeled into the ember source in Shad's palm. Hearing Vige's footsteps, Shad turned to look at her and saw that she had taken out a "life detector"—

【Evil Object - Life】

[Life Strength: Extremely High (Weak, Continuously Draining)]

[Vital activity: Extremely high (weak, inhibited by cold)]

[Life Form: Abnormal (Twisted Life)]

Reproductive capacity: Self-replication

[Note: Excellent experimental subjects, evil beings born from vigorous life, the ancient gods seem to have given them the responsibility of protecting the balance of life, but for some reason they have lost their original limitations.]

Vige read the information she saw. Although the information seemed a bit abnormal, it wasn't actually that abnormal compared to Xia De's question marks.

"The detector your mother made is really amazing; it can even detect evil things."

Shad praised and explained:

"I've encountered this evil creature before, but the last one was much more troublesome than this one. However, after I defeated the evil creature last time, I was able to make a second source of fire. This time, I've harvested a lot of life fire seeds. Although I don't know what they can be used for, it's definitely a good idea to store them first."

Viggo glanced again at the maid whose body was still surrounded by frost flowers, and then Miss Rowling asked the question on behalf of her master:

“This is Miss Winnie.”

"She is a very qualified maid. In addition to performing maid duties, she occasionally assists her master in battle. This was a necessary part of my maid training."

Winnie said that the Witch Emperor of the Fifth Age had very high requirements for her maids, who had to take care of their daily lives and assist in battle, and that was just the most basic requirement.

Vige nodded silently, not really understanding why a tenth-ring Shade would have a twelfth-ring maid. Moreover, after Winnie revealed her crystal-clear appearance, although this appearance was still not Winnie's true form, Vige, in her prime, still felt that the other party was not a simple elemental life form.

She was actually more curious about where the demigod witch power that Shad had just displayed came from.

The twisted flames flowed continuously into the fiery eyes in Shad's palm. In addition to the contact between his hands, the four chains of great sin also pierced into the monster's body, accelerating the extraction of the flames. So soon, all that enormous life force was transferred to the source of the flames.

Without the warmth of life, the monster was eventually completely sealed inside by frost. After confirming that no life energy remained, Shad used "Thunder Wave" to unleash a palm strike, shattering the monster's corpse into countless ice shards.

This time, the monster called "Life" did not drop an eyeball that Shad could use to create the "Spark." The monsters in the "Blood Factory" are obviously special because of the "Life Forge."

"Master, someone is here."

Viggo was about to speak when Winnie suddenly spoke up to remind Shad. She then reverted to her flesh and blood form, taking a step back and standing behind Shad. Viggo and Miss Rowling also approached Shad, and almost simultaneously, several figures jumped down from the edge of the crater created by the "Falling Star Strike."

The ring mages from the Church of the Sun were the first to arrive, the leader being an eleventh-ring mages. Although he didn't recognize Shad, the combination of a "young man and a beautiful woman," and the fact that the fire here had clearly been contained, gave him a rough idea of ​​who he was facing.

Of course, to avoid mistaking someone for someone else, he decided to test the waters first:

"Sir, may I ask about that thing that absorbed the activated mechanical life form?"

"That was an evil entity called 'Life,' which I have already dealt with. If the church cannot find information about this evil entity, you can ask 'Starbreaker' Iluna Bayas."

The surrounding fires were ignited by the twisted flames of life. To prevent the trees from becoming further active, I will summon frost to suppress them before I leave. Once the source of the [Church of Creation]'s fire arrives, you will then contain these flames.

Shad didn't intend to take all the life energy himself, after all, he didn't even know what he wanted to do with these dangerous sparks.

Thus, the ring sorcerers of the Church of the Sun realized that the one before them was indeed that "legend":

"Thank you for your help, sir."

He bowed slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"The Truth Society and the Holy Son Alliance also showed up tonight. The former's actions were strange; they took away some of the metal left over from the broken giant accordion. That metal no longer contained any life energy, and I don't know why the Truth Society needs it."

Xia De nodded, but didn't mention the [Leather Goods Guild]. The relic was related to something left by Wei Ge's mother, and he planned to handle it himself.

Are there many casualties at the opera house?

The Ringwitch sighed:

"Rescue work is underway. Although there are no performances on the east side of the opera house tonight, some staff members are there. It seems that whether the Old World Industrial Exposition, originally scheduled for this month, will proceed as planned is now in question."

Xia De said nothing more, nodded to Wei Ge, and the four of them disappeared into the frost and mist. Not long after, snowflakes began to fall from the night sky again, landing on the sea of ​​fire and gradually freezing the scorched earth and the trees that had begun to grow strange organs.

The ring sorcerers of the Church of the Five Gods quickly escorted the "source of fire" here, collected the remaining embers one by one, then set up a large-scale divine ritual to purify the land, and arranged for people to treat the wounded in the opera house.

This is the largest casualty incident since the problems in the Arcadia region. However, with more than two years of experience dealing with various situations, the collapse of the east side of the opera house and the double-digit number of deaths are not actually a particularly big deal.

As for Xia De and Wei Ge, they didn't return directly to Fragrance Mansion, but instead went back to their box at the opera house. Because their box wasn't directly in front of the stage, it was relatively far away, so they were less affected by the commotion.

Even so, the group was questioned and examined by the church in the box before being allowed to leave the opera house along with a small number of people who had only suffered minor injuries.

The third female lead in the opera company has gone missing, and the church will surely find out soon. Shad is also curious whether Madame Connaught, dressed in leather, will be able to pass the church's inspection.

But regardless of the outcome, it will help him further search for the whereabouts of the [Furniture Guild]. The most important thing tonight isn't this, but Vige:

"So, is your real identity...?"
