Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Crystal Winslow Is Dying!
At this moment.
Crystal Winslow’s originally ice-blue long hair had completely turned silver-white, her aura climbing step by step from Commander Tier One straight to the peak.
Life Burning!
The Winslow Family’s bloodline talent.
A life sacrificed as a price, striving for a sliver of hope in this doomed battle.
She slowly opened her eyes, in the frost-white pupils was a gentle lingering attachment.
It was an attachment to this world.
Moreover...
The sorrow of never being able to see that person again.
Her delicate hand gently raised, the Ebon-Frost Ice Phoenix unfurled its wings amidst surging spiritual power, and in an instant blocked half the battlefield.
Crystal Winslow lightly leaped onto the Ice Phoenix’s head, her silver hair dancing with the flying snow.
At this moment—
She resembled a goddess commanding the winter.
"Su-su!"
The snow fell silently.
Transcendent level demon clan bodies began to freeze, movements grew increasingly sluggish, ultimately turning into ice sculptures.
Upon seeing this, the remaining few commander level demon clan members had faces as dark as water.
This human girl’s power was already infinitely close to the commander peak.
With just a few of them...
They couldn’t win!
Several glances met in the air, instantly reaching a consensus—
Summon the Demon Lord!
Each spatial rift had only one chance to summon Monarch Level Demon Clan, they thought it unnecessary before.
But now...
These madmen!
Looking at the ground filled with demon clan corpses, and recalling those humans who exchanged life for life, the few commander level demon clan members finally realized—
Just relying on themselves, they were afraid...
They couldn’t complete the Demon God’s mission!
"Boom—"
Several members acted simultaneously.
Overwhelming demonic qi gathered into a pitch-black pillar of light, piercing straight through the sky!
The spatial rift trembled violently under this power, as if torn open by an invisible giant hand.
"Ka, kakaka!"
The sound of scales rubbing came from afar, a figure shrouded in terrifying pressure slowly stepped out of the rift.
Monarch Level Demon Clan!
An icy spiritual power swept across the battlefield, upon seeing the few remaining commander level demon clan members, this monarch furrowed his brows deeply.
How could it be...
Clearly there was no Monarch Level power here upon investigation, the demon clan had absolute advantage.
How long had it been since he paid attention...
The battle had deteriorated to this extent!
The Monarch Level Demon Clan slowly lifted his head, his cold gaze locked onto the silver-haired girl atop the Ice Phoenix.
Upon perceiving the burning life force surrounding this human girl, his scarlet vertical pupils slightly contracted.
Burning life in exchange for power?
That’s quite intriguing...
Yet shortly after, a mocking curve formed at the corner of his mouth.
Sacrificing all life, so what?
Ultimately impossible to reach the Monarch Realm!
"These..."
His hand swept over the devastated battlefield, "Did you do all this?"
Crystal Winslow didn’t respond, her clenched hand slightly trembled.
The capability of the rift to pass Monarch Level Demon Clan, they knew beforehand.
Therefore, the order to block the demon clan was unfeasible from the start.
However...
To do what they knew was impossible!
This was their choice.
She took a deep breath, her gaze tightly locked on the Monarch Level Demon Clan.
"Frost Ring... Imprisonment!"
A clear voice echoed across the battlefield.
The Ebon-Frost Ice Phoenix suddenly unfurled ice wings that blocked out the sun, the entire space’s temperature plummeting to absolute zero.
[Frost Ring Imprisonment: Forced Control Technique!]
The Monarch Level Demon Clan’s mocking expression abruptly froze.
He was astounded to discover that his limbs were rapidly being covered with frost...
With the Ice Phoenix’s level having reached commander peak...
Even if this demon clan was of monarch level, it would be forcibly imprisoned in place by the Frost Ring Imprisonment.
Although the time wasn’t long...
But for Crystal Winslow, it was enough!
Enough time for her to finish her domain self-destruction, making the Demon Lord pay the price!
"Screech—"
The Ice Phoenix’s cry, carrying her like a shooting star rushing towards the demon clan monarch.
In the instant of rapid approach, Crystal Winslow fleetingly glimpsed Aster Grant’s smiling face.
She really wanted...
To see him once more!
Yet alas...
There was no chance!
The ice-blue domain suddenly blossomed, completely enveloping the Monarch Level Demon Clan.
A dazzling white light exploded immediately—
"Boom!"
Yet in this critical moment, the pitch-black demonic qi surged like tides.
The Monarch Level Demon Clan astonishingly broke free from the binding!
"Humans... Indeed interesting."
He sneered and released his domain, "But alas, ants remain ants!"
"Puff—"
The domain’s backlash caused Crystal Winslow to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Gazing at the unharmed Demon Lord, she bitterly closed her eyes.
The gap was too vast!
Even though she had given her all, she still hadn’t been able to harm this Monarch Level Demon Clan.
But she truly tried her hardest...
Just before closing her eyes, she seemingly saw a familiar figure in the sky.
Is that... Aster?!
Realizing this, she suddenly widened her eyes, her silver-white hair wildly dancing in the blast wave.
Why is he here!
This place is too dangerous!
Crystal Winslow desperately wanted to shout, but could only let out silent screams.
Her cracked lips slightly trembled, yet she couldn’t utter a single word.
Meanwhile—
"Whish!"
Emerging from the space rift with Bianca Shelby’s help, Aster was struck cold by the scene before him.
Crystal Winslow... was self-destructing?
Seeing the shockwave about to engulf Crystal Winslow.
He roared orders with his eyes wide and desperate:
"Scarlett! Save her—!"
Almost as he spoke, Scarlett’s figure had already vanished from where she stood.
Early upon traversing the space rift, she had sensed the battlefield’s severity.
Therefore, Scarlett had prepared to act early.
Scarlett’s Void Mastery, having reached commander level, further advanced.
In an instant, she appeared beside Crystal Winslow, pulling her into the void just before the explosion occurred.
"Boom!!!"
Outside, destructive energy rampaged forth, even space began to distort and crumble.
Scarlett didn’t dare linger at the site, quickly manipulating void talent, and arduously navigating the chaotic energy streams.
"Cough..."
As Scarlett stumbled out of the void, her face was deathly pale.
She shakily passed Crystal Winslow into Aster’s arms, yet due to spiritual power overexertion, her body weakened.
She had exerted all her strength just now!
A step slower, both she and Crystal Winslow might have been lost in the chaotic void.
Aster instinctively caught Crystal Winslow, but at the touch of her silver hair felt as if struck by lightning.
Those strands supposed to be crystal-clear like ice, now hung lifelessly like withered flowers.
Why... so light?
The girl in his arms was light as a feather, her faint heartbeat barely audible.
Aster’s hands trembled uncontrollably, a never-before-felt dread gripped his heart.
"Crystal Winslow..."
His voice choked in his throat, the skin at his fingertips icy cold and frightening.
The girl who always stubbornly stood before him, now fragile like a shattered ice sculpture.
Aster bit his lip hard, until he tasted blood.
He could sense...
Crystal Winslow’s last life force, leaking away at a terrifying rate.
She was dying!
Crystal Winslow was dying!
Realizing this, Aster’s heart seemed to sink to the bottom of a valley.
