Chapter 204: Ice Crystal Barrier
"Alas, if we just blow up this broken pillar we will definitely be devoured by the dragon with it, and I must create another cover for you to dodge until the suction is weakened. This is also my new alchemy, I will freeze myself in a huge block of ice to become your cover. ”
"Rest assured, I'm just in suspended animation, and I'm in it to keep the ice hard and stable with a small amount of magic. You've seen that if I didn't want to, or until my magic was completely depleted, no one else could easily break this ice. ”
"But you can also make another wall of ice, and then we can all get out!" Ciri didn't want Yulia to use such a dangerous tactic.
"No, I can't make a wall of ice with the existing materials without a steady amount of mana. Having both stable mana support and the ability to block the suction, perhaps the best way is for me to become a wall of ice. Then I can save my life. ”
This alchemy is a life-saving method that Yulia has been developing for a long time. First of all, you have to start with potions to create drugs that can put you in a stable state of suspended animation or hibernation, and secondly, you must be able to withstand the effects of freezing without necrosis. Finally, the ice generated by Cryo must be solid enough to be immune to almost all external damage.
However, this is the first time Yulia has used this technique, and it contains a very big risk, maybe the magic potion does not achieve the expected effect and she will be frozen to death, or the ice cube is not strong enough to be broken and she will also die.
But now she had no more options, the dragon was getting closer, and the air around them was getting more and more turbulent, and they were as dangerous as people who were grabbing a reef in a flood.
"Trust me, Ciri, you know I won't let you down." The last thing Yulia left for Ciri was a hug, and Ciri was finally persuaded by her.
Ciri's eyes were red but she couldn't say a word, she only felt that she was so weak at the moment, how good it would be if Orlan could be here at this time...... How nice it would be if she could have the same power as him......
As Yulia took a blue potion, I saw that the originally fair skin of her whole body was glowing with a light blue light, as the liquid of the same color continued to overflow from her body and then solidified into crystals, gradually enveloping her completely, and after just a few seconds, this layer of ice crystals expanded rapidly, so that Yulia was frozen tightly.
Ciri looked at the vague figure in the ice crystals, and finally couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and the crystal tears slid down on the cold ice cubes, and instantly merged with it. Perhaps this teardrop, full of infinite attachment and reluctance, will eventually reach the hearts of the people in the ice through this cold.
……
As planned, Ciri placed a flame jug between the ice cubes and the broken pillars that encased Yuria, and she hid behind them.
Boom...... With a bang, the broken pillar that had been standing tenaciously in place turned out to be "Qigen Broken" and then rolled and smashed towards the Gluttonous Dragon. Although the volume of the broken pillar is not small, it is only a slightly larger chestnut than the huge mouth of the demon dragon, at most it is just a "chew" bite.
Part of the "sharp teeth" in the stomach of the Gluttonous Dragon closed instantly, and the broken pillar was suddenly chewed into crumbles. Although this huge mouth still maintains a lot of suction power, it has been greatly weakened compared to just now.
Ciri didn't stop for a moment, drank the second bottle of strengthening potion and strengthened his body again, forcibly passing the weakening period of the first bottle of strengthening potion, and even with the body of the witcher, he would suffer a lot of damage. But for the sake of Yulia, she must also flee from here.
"Damn stupid dragons! Eventually, a human was let go, huh...... Thankfully, it's just an inconsequential bug. Fortunately, Yulia is left, hehehehe. The undead watched a figure flee, and immediately recognized that it was a human named Ciri, and was relieved.
And after being kicked by the undead, the gluttonous dragon immediately stopped this devouring suction, and then hiccuped as if it was full.
"Yulia, you're really surprising you, no one has ever been able to escape from this area before, and today you let your companion slip away. Ice cubes? Well...... This bizarre ice cube is really hard to handle, and it looks like it has to be brought back and the owner can open it. ”
The undead had already known that spell fire could not melt such ice, and then he used crystallization magic and even dark magic again in vain. "Hey, stupid dragon! Let's eat this thing, and we'll take her back to meet the master! ”
The Gluttonous Dragon seemed reluctant to touch the cold that terrified it in its bones, but at the urging and threat of the undead, it opened its jaws and gnawed at the ice. The process was not as easy as the undead had imagined, and it took two days for the dragon to dig out the other half of the ice embedded deep in the ground.
After swallowing a whole piece of spindle-shaped ice cube into his stomach, the dragon said that it was extremely uncomfortable, because it could not digest it at all, but it did not dare to spit it out...... The undead mounted on its back, and it slowly turned and crawled into the pit.
After a few moments, the large, empty underground space was quiet again, and almost nothing had changed except for the clearing that had originally had four broken pillars, now one missing.
……
Ciri lay in a corner of the sewer with severe pain all over her body, and after using the strengthening potion continuously, she fell into an extremely weak state, and even the slightest movement of her fingers was a strong tingle. But when she thought that Yulia was now alone and fell into the clutches of the enemy, her heart was even more torn by pain.
What can she compare to her current physical pain? She had never hated her weakness and incompetence as much as she did now, and her relatives once again chose to sacrifice themselves to save her. Whether it's the grandfather she's been looking for, Oran who saved her, or Yulia, who is like a sister......
She had never been more hungry for power than she was now, not even when the Witcher Slayer's palm couldn't break off.
"Weakness is the original sin, killing does not bring salvation, but human beings can burst out with the strongest will and desire to protect others, which is why human beings are so weak and yet so powerful."
Ciri remembered what Orlan had said to her, and she found it difficult to understand that the will to protect others could be transformed into strength? Miraculous exercises? Special martial arts? Unbelievable, isn't it only fire that is believed in in this cold and cruel world?
With faith that she had never had before, imagining what Yulia would look like, she gritted her teeth and slowly stood up with her long sword...... ()
