Chapter 23: Ice Core
The smoke from the explosion slowly cleared.
As Alec expected, this level of explosion was not enough to kill the Ice Demon with a constitution of 61 points. Before the cheers of the crowd could stop, an angry roar accompanied by a terrifying chill burst out of the flames. The GIs choked on their cheers, and in the midst of everyone's incredulous gaze, a nightmarish figure appeared in the flames.
The Ice Demon isn't dead, even though it's covered in rifts, it's still alive.
Moreover, it also entered the rage.
With the fury of the ice demon, the burning flames were frozen into ice cubes in the blink of an eye, and everyone could faintly see the lines of the flames in the ice cubes......
The Ice Demon roared in the sky, and a pale blue ring of ice spread out, freezing everything nearby, and the cold air filled with fine ice slag rose into the sky, and even the helicopter was shot down. The army on the ground had no intention of fighting and desperately fled, but with the legs of ordinary people, how could they outrun the spell? As a pillar of dark blue light swept by, dozens of lifelike ice sculptures immediately appeared on the wide street.
It was nothing short of a massacre.
Alec carefully maintained the [Exploration Technique], and had no intention of making a move.
While the Ice Demon is in full swing, its life is also changing.
This is not a cold region, the power of the ice demon cannot be replenished, the rage comes at the cost of burning vitality, if the enemy cannot be destroyed quickly, the berserker will sooner or later fall into an even more dangerous situation. Alec saw through a little, so he quietly hid to the side, watching the ice demon go berserk...... He was waiting, and when the Ice Demon's strength was exhausted and he was weakened, it was time for him to strike again.
The Ice Demon who fell into a rage had a huge increase in its attributes, and it even lifted a car and threw it towards the helicopter in the sky.
Under Alec's detection, the strength of the Ice Demon has now doubled, reaching a terrifying 98 points. But the rage comes at a price, the Ice Demon's constitution is reduced to 45 points, and his health is slowly decreasing...... Less than ten minutes later, the Ice Demon had only 60 points left in his life, and he finally couldn't continue to maintain his rage and entered a weakened state.
The raging cold slowly faded.
Alec knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time had finally arrived.
- [Flame Trap]!
- Lava Chains!
- [Detonation]!
- [Scorching Touch]!
- [Surrounded by Flames]!
Alec didn't dare to spare his hand, he almost squandered all his mana, and the red spell energy exploded one after another around the ice demon, and huge flames bombarded the ice demon like a hammer, and the deafening explosion shattered the glass of the entire street!
He had given up catching the Ice Demon alive and was going to kill him on the spot!
Because the damage caused by the ice demon is too great.
More than a dozen main battle tanks were frozen, hundreds of elite soldiers were killed, a helicopter crashed, and although there were not many civilians killed or injured, the terrifying ice energy froze half of the street, and the walls of hundreds of houses were frozen and cracked...... It has been a long time since the United States has suffered such a serious loss, and coupled with the economic impact of the forced relocation of Stark Enterprises, the president of the United States is expected to jump in anger.
In this case, Alec had to give up his plan to capture the Ice Demon alive.
Although he knows some illusion spells, with mutants like Magneto nearby, he can't be sure that he can fool everyone...... If the news of his secret rescue of the Ice Demon leaks out, it is estimated that the entire United States will declare war on him.
……
The spell turns the area where the Ice Demon is located into a sea of fire.
The weakened Ice Demon was powerless to resist, and after a few detonations, it was finally caught in the lava chains, and then shattered in a series of explosions.
That's when Alec showed up.
Before the flames dissipated, he walked quickly to the place where the ice demon died, picked up a crystal-like round ice core, and then left quickly without looking back. After death, the value of the ice demon is greatly reduced, the ice blocks that make up the body will melt quickly, and only the ice core that carries consciousness can be preserved for a long time, and if he handles it properly, he may even use the ice core to give birth to some Xiaoice demons.
…………
With the ice core in hand, Alec rushed to the Island City Prison as soon as possible.
After half a year of operation, the prison is now completely under his control. If a spiritual master enters the Island City Prison, he can see a lot of strange patterns on the walls of the prison, which are the spell patterns of a large phantom array, and Alec spent a lot of effort carving them. Another change in the prison was underground, where he controlled the inmates to build a large cellar underneath the prison, which was used to hold special prisoners and store special items.
Alec flooded a separate room with water and threw the ice core into it.
He didn't know how to cultivate demons, this was a very profound science, and generally only devils who had reached the lord level would have this specialty. He used the simplest and most brutal method - using the power unleashed by the ice core itself to spawn a new ice demon. Such a spawning method will cause some damage to the ice core, and the result of spawning is difficult to determine, if you are lucky, this room will give birth to a large number of Xiaoice demons, and if you are unlucky, you will naturally get nothing.
After dealing with the ice core, Alec focused on Nicole.
He said hello to Peter, and then hurried to the Alcali Lake Dam, which was Stryker's secret military stronghold, and if Nicole did fall into the hands of William Stryker, then all of them would be imprisoned in this dam.
…………
On the other hand, William Stryker, whose plans have been frustrated, is frowned upon.
He didn't get his hands on the brainwave booster.
Xavier's Academy of Gifted Children is more powerful than Stryker imagined, and even if he uses a trick to transfer Auroro and Coullis, Jean and Logan are still not something that ordinary soldiers can handle. This time in the attack, instead of getting the brainwave booster, he folded his assistant Yuriko into it, calculating the time, the effect of Jensen's hypnosis is almost over, and the sobered Yuriko will definitely hate him to the bone, and it is also expected to come to him for revenge.
William Stryker carefully calculates the resources at his disposal.
The controlled laser eyes, Charles struggling with the illusions Jensen created, hundreds of well-trained soldiers, and ...... Nope.
With that alone, how to fight the X-Men and the Mutant Brotherhood?
Stryker rubbed his eyebrows, realizing that he was in a terrible situation, and that he couldn't compete with the mutants without looking for outside help. Asking for help is a must, but who to ask for help is a university question, the individual combat power of mutants is very strong, if it is simply to increase the number of soldiers, it is meaningless, what he needs now is high-end combat power, a master who can fight against Wolverine Logan and others.
Soon, a well-known figure came into his sight.
General Ross.
As a military figure, Stryker has long heard of General Ross's name, especially the arrest of the Hulk, who once made a lot of noise, even more so that General Ross is extremely beautiful.
A proponent of biotechnology, Stryker has a natural sense of identity with Rose. On the other hand, because of the capture of Bruce Banner, Rose's super soldier program has made great progress, and although it has not been able to replicate the Hulk for the time being, there is a precedent for the soldier's body enhancement to be successful......
