Hellbents
Chapter 138: Absolute Zero
Ellijah has been educated since childhood to continue the Frost Dukedom, from political science, economics, to the military. Therefore, his expertise in sword has been polished for dozens of years. He again slashed the thick skin of the giant orc he was facing, forming a red ice flower from the frozen blood.
On the other hand, orcs are famous as colossal humanoid monsters, high strength, and wild fighting style. What distinguishes humanoid monsters from other monsters is their ability to use simple weapons. In addition, their language skills are more advanced, although not to the point of forming perfect sentences, one or two words are clearly spoken from a limited vocabulary.
"Argh! A human! Food!"
Wush! The huge axe swung down, instantly cutting down the affected trees. Booms! Booms!
Ellijah jumped between the branches, equalizing with the opponent.
A pair of blue beads and a black sphere exchanged glances. Ellijah was still fine, not even sweat came out. While the orc was panting, stamina that had never been defeated was now almost drained, the more incision wounds he suffered the slower his movement. He could feel his muscles freeze, and keep his cold.
This fight is getting worse as time goes on.
So in the midst of the panic that eroded his courage, the orc thought, that he should put an end to their fight immediately.
With a small brain, humanoid monsters still had common sense, even though their logic sometimes resulted in foolish decisions.
The orc had seen another target earlier, when the goblins that followed him gathered. Female-human. Small-time. Weak-headed. New prey.
He must get food!
That was when, the figure he was looking for walked over, leaving behind a blaze of flames along with the scattered corpses of goblins.
Wush!
The axe was thrown, with a flash towards its target.
The food!
Unfortunately, the small prey swiftly dodged.
There is nothing easier than fighting an emotion-controlled enemy.
Unfortunately, the orc no longer had any weapons.
As a result, with nothing in the way, Ellijah was able to bring out her ultimate skill.
"[Absolute zero]," the man growled with his tight teeth.
A glowing ring of runes appeared on the branch he was on, making it seem as if it was flying on a magic plate in the darkness of night.
The grass that was waving due to the wind was now violently frozen, their thin leaves turned into ice that emitted steam.
Sensing a sharp cold sensation on his bare feet, the orc instinctively knew he was in danger. Her little brain instantly switched to stress mode, fighting or running. He chose to run. However, his colossal body had become frozen to the heel. No, this skill is not like a simple skill that only envelops objects with ice, the object itself will become ice to the inside of them.
Orcs shouldn't have thrown axes earlier. Because that way, at least he can cut his knee so that he can escape from the skill's hollowness.
Or will his efforts to live on in vain? Looking at the vastness of the frozen grass range, he was not sure he could escape. After all being slow, bleeding, and losing half a leg, would only make it easier for anyone to catch it again.
The Orc could no longer feel its stomach.
I don't know why he knew he was finished.
But as his last attempt, he shouted, shaking the leaves of the tree just because of the sound of his challenge. He grabbed his hair in frustration, a giant hand hit his own body that had turned blue. Free.
Now, until his neck stiffened into an ice sculpture.
Orcs can see the female man was leaning on his axe stuck in the ground, looks empty and flat.
Hm, the Ellijah skill does look strong, but the preparation is long and the effect of the attack must wait until the enemy is completely frozen. Not very efficient.
