Chapter 552: Frozen

If you want to keep everything planned, it's absolutely impossible. When Maffeo angrily rushed towards Riku with his great sword, the guy had damaged the cuirass he had saved up for a long time, the other party actually moved his huge body and attacked Maffeo with a ferocious momentum. It was clear that there was no chance of winning a head-on duel like this against Maffeo, so he hurriedly stopped his steps and dodged to the side.

Riku's body gives the impression that it is inherently clumsy. But in reality, this is not the case, and its assault speed is even faster than that of Platani, the golden stone giant in Sky City, which is driven by a powerful power source. Maffeo dodged, but his back was grazed by sharp ice crystals from Riku's arm. As a result, Maffeo ended up falling head-on on the ice in an embarrassed position, and even the impact of his own back was so terrifying that it was even harder for Maffeo to imagine how powerful the guy was.

Uma stomped her foot in frustration, it was indeed the best opportunity just now, Riku used the ice crystals on his arms to increase his speed and strength during the rush, and there was no chance to defend the disc at all, but he threw that opportunity away with his own hands. However, a moment later, several hot flame bombs struck his head, hitting Riku's wide, flat face. The explosion flooded Riku's entire face, and a low roar was heard, and Uma took the opportunity to condense an ice bow and pull several ice arrows at the golden disc in Riku's abdomen.

However, this time it was no chance at all, as Riku's intact face emerged from the smoke of the explosion, and it crumpled the ice arrows into powder with its massive palm. Maffeo, who had already risen from the ground, pounced again, first dancing a rapid ball of sword flowers in front of the ice block under Riku's body to attract some of Riku's attention, and then leaping to the side, gathering his own blood and qi to form a circle of blood under his feet. Then, before the blood qi burst out, he raised his long sword and stabbed it hard at the ice.

The sound of blood erupting from the blood circle mingled with the crisp sound of the blade crashing against the ice, and then Maffeo hurriedly lowered his head to dodge the ice fragments flying in the air under the attack of the blood. He must admit that this was the solution that occurred to him suddenly. If you try to attack the ice on this guy's lower body, you might be able to make this guy lose his mobility. Although the result was not always true, the attack of the Flesh Qi still weakened Riku's movement speed to a certain extent.

Riku began to fight back against Maffeo, and it unleashed a powerful punch that sent a shocking wave towards Maffeo. The latter jumped backwards to dodge the punch attack, but he couldn't hold himself steady under the shockwave, and after a few rolls on the ground, he slid farther away. Luckily, there weren't any protruding sharp objects on the ice, otherwise Maffeo's skin would have been bloody and fleshy.

Maffeo didn't know if his attack had caught Riku's attention, but judging by the still-intact disc on the guy's abdomen, he wasn't doing his best. So he took the trouble to raise his sword and pounce on Riku again, this guy was a difficult opponent, this was a fact that Maffeo had already tacitly acquiesced in his mind. But he must face this monster with all his heart, otherwise he will become an ice sculpture without a single flaw in the next second.

He took a few deceptive steps, then jumped to the left of Riku's body, taking advantage of the guy's insensitive steering ability in place to attack it, as long as he could draw the guy's attention to himself, he would be victorious. As a result, Maffeo danced with his greatsword, which glittered with magic sword oil, and threw out a fan-shaped trajectory of blood, leaving a deep mark on Riku's left arm.

Uma and Freya were preparing for their next wave of attacks at the same time, and it wasn't time yet, the guy's body hadn't fully turned. But Riku's left arm had already launched a counterattack, and with all its might it swung it outward, where Maffeo was. Maffeo dodged the attack, spitting out the ice slag that had splashed into his mouth, which nearly cut his tongue.

Riku's body had fully turned, and Maffeo looked at its flat face for some reason, and for some reason, an idea of turning that face into a chicken pie came to Maffeo's mind. Maffeo immediately raised his greatsword in attack, and a vertical leap struck at Riku. Kliku moved faster, and with a low roar, the ice crystals on its arm came into play again, and the thick arm swung the greatsword in Maffeo's hand away, and then smashed his right arm into a fist and smashed it into Maffeo's head.

Maffeo hurriedly gestured and opened a circle of blood qi shields, trying to mitigate the damage caused by his fists to himself, he already knew that in the face of this level of attack, it was impossible for the blood qi shield to leave himself unharmed. Riku's fist slammed into him like a battering ram, and Maffeo spat out a mouthful of blood under the protection of the blood shield, and he felt like he could barely breathe, and the bones in his body felt like they were about to fall apart. Immediately after, at the same time as the blood qi shield shattered, his entire body also flew out due to the impact force.

Worried about Maffeo's situation, Freya pulled the trigger decisively, and the half-cartridge of flamebombs whizzed towards Riku's face. Uma also seized the opportunity to condense a huge ice crystal in front of him, allowing the Icebreaker Blade to keep pace with the Flame Bomb as much as possible. Riku was aware of another wave of attacks, but it was too late to react. Its vision was soon covered by firelight, and the disc in its abdomen began to crack under the attack of the Icebreaker Blade.

Uma's attack worked, the disc was indeed Riku's weak point, its body gradually began to twist, and the ice crystals on its arms began to shatter as a result of this attack. "It's a gift for you, monster. Looking at the pained Riku, Uma whispered.

Maffeo barely stood up from the ground with the help of two Bantu men who had already solved the Richu shard, and now he didn't find these guys annoying, but maybe it was only because they were Bancarur's men. What kind of people lead what kind of men, if it were those shamans or elders, he could not guarantee that the Bantu people would help him in this situation.

He first retrieved his weapon that had been knocked away, and then looked at Riku who was howling in pain, and all three of them felt that this was a great opportunity, so they kept a large gap and rushed towards Riku, trying to draw a full end to the battle.

Uma wanted to completely shatter the golden disc in Riku's abdomen before the three of them attacked, which would also make their job a little easier. However, just as he was about to cast his magic, Riku's body suddenly changed from physical to illusion. The whole process takes no more than a second, and it's definitely a moment that can shock anyone. Umma's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Riku as an illusion, an ability that the guy had never shown before.

The three people who rushed towards Riku were also stunned, and their steps gradually became unconfident. In the face of illusions, they are really helpless, because no matter how sharp the weapons in their hands are, they can't attack disembodied monsters.

A hidden cold murderous intent permeated the cavern, and a chill that would make people's expressions condense emanated from Riku's body. By the time Uma realized something was wrong, the cold shockwave had spread out from the center of the disk in Riku's abdomen. Uma's voice was no longer audible to the trio, and the shockwave swept through almost half of the cavern. In order not to become an ice sculpture herself, Uma could only turn and lie backwards, while smashing one hand on the ground to form a wall of ice to resist the shock wave. Freya, who was in the distance, quickly shrank up and hid behind an ice rock.

As the cold shock wave subsided, two flawless, almost perfect ice sculptures stood in different positions - they were two Bantu people. Maffeo, who had just woken up from his dream, looked up from the ground, and then he found the frozen Bantu man standing in his way. Their perception of the cold is stronger than that of ordinary people, so at the last moment, he stood in front of Maffeo to block the shockwave.
