Chapter 607 - 605: What? You Got a Problem With That?

Bang!

Accompanied by the explosion of the Ice Blade, while Hilia cast the Ice Shield Skill, the advanced magic of Ice Rain Skill, a snowstorm formed, covering dozens of meters around her in ice and snow, striking indiscriminately!

When she felt the ice and snow hit the target, Hilia detonated without hesitation, causing secondary damage.

Afterward, she stacked layer upon layer of ice shields around herself, as many as twenty layers of Ice Shield Combination Skill, forming a thick ice wall around her.

Not even a Tier Six Mage would be able to break so many ice shields with a single spell!

Hilia had no time to summon a Magic Puppet, nor did she need to.

Her Magic Puppet was only for support and healing, and at this moment was the time to suppress the opponent; Hilia didn’t plan to waste that moment, letting the bold Shadow Mage escape from the battlefield.

A massive storm of ice and snow formed a domain, completely covering the surroundings, continuously hitting the Shadow Mage hiding in shadows.

It wasn’t long before the Shadow Mage couldn’t withstand the immense magical impact and emerged from the shadows.

The shadows into which the Shadow Faction Mage fled were not subspace, still located in the real world; they only used magic to hide themselves, yet they still had a physical presence.

When unable to discover the opponent immediately, an all-encompassing spell was the best countermeasure.

Of course, others shouldn’t attempt it simply because the Magic Power would be exhausted before the Shadow Mage couldn’t endure.

But Hilia wasn’t afraid at all.

Even if much Magic Power hadn’t recovered after being consumed in the town of Dracula, the remaining Magic Power, under the exquisite control of the Mage’s Hand and with the aid of external Magic Power, could easily be used to the point where the opponent couldn’t withstand it.

Boom!

With an explosion, a figure emerged from the shadows, falling to the ground.

Hilia did not give up at this point, directly diving down, while a large-scale snowstorm began to focus on the opponent.

Boom!

A huge explosion sounded as Hilia’s Ice Crystal Missile struck the Shadow Mage.

When Hilia came down with the ice-sculpted Magic Puppet, the Shadow Mage was already dying in a large crater.

The surrounding environment, ravaged by the snowstorm, had long since turned into a scene like being plowed by artillery ten times over, all fragmented plants and stones.

Hilia tossed the Shadow Mage’s Magic Puppet aside—after the Magic Puppet attempted to assassinate her, she quickly froze it following the Ice Blade Impact, and the subsequent snowstorm was to locate the position of the Shadow Mage.

"A mere Tier Four Mage dares to come and assassinate me."

Hilia secretly used the Mage’s Hand to scan the surroundings, with her sense of danger always on alert.

On the surface, she showed a look of disdain, holding her Magic Staff like a Longsword, pointed down at the Shadow Mage in the pit.

"Who are you? Whose subordinate are you? Who sent you to kill me?" Hilia squinted her eyes and asked.

The pointed ears of the Shadow Mage confirmed his elf identity.

Unlike many elves, his skin was a bit dark, not as fair as a pure-blood elf.

"Cough, cough..."

The Shadow Mage coughed twice, gasped continuously, but didn’t speak.

Hilia snorted, her eyes shifting, "You must be from the Elf Royal Court, right? Within the Elf Race, I’ve only had a grudge with the Elf Royal Court. It seems the people from the Elf Royal Court couldn’t wait any longer, not wanting me to continue purifying the Elf Race’s citizens, so they sent someone to assassinate me, correct?"

"Cough, cough, cough, Miss Xilia, don’t misunderstand, he is not one of us from the Royal Court."

A voice came from the side.

Hilia already knew through the Mage’s Hand scan but still acted as if she had just seen them, looking up at the rapidly approaching group.

A total of five people, dressed in the armor of the Elf Royal Court’s army.

"Hello, I am Stephen, the leader of the Dark Elf action squad. We received information about the Dark Elf conducting some secret operation, so we followed, though we didn’t expect their target to be Miss Xilia, how despicable."

Stephen glared angrily at the Shadow Mage in the pit and waved for his people to advance: "Go seize him, make sure to figure out why they attempted to assassinate Miss Xilia."

"Yes!"

The team moved forward, and just at that moment, an Ice Crystal Missile descended from the sky, striking the Shadow Mage in the pit fiercely.

Boom!

The violent explosion shook the earth.

Stephen’s expression changed, "You... Miss Xilia, why did you kill him?"

Hilia said indifferently, "He tried to kill me, why should I let him go?"

"You..."

"What, are you going to arrest me?" Hilia blinked, "From when this Shadow Mage attacked me up till now, I’ve recorded everything. Are you suggesting this Shadow Mage isn’t from the Dark Elves but from your Elf Royal Court?"

Stephen quickly shook his head, "Of course not, his skin is darker—it’s the color from a special ritual by the Dark Elves, which is also why they’re called ’Dark Elves’."

Stephen’s face showed discomfort, forcing a smile, "We certainly wouldn’t give Miss Hilia a hard time, after all, Miss Hilia is the greatest doctor, the savior of our Elf Race. Even if Miss Hilia killed an elf, everyone would forgive you."

Hilia said indifferently, "I merely killed a Dark Elf attempting to assassinate me. Aren’t Dark Elves labeled as a terrorist organization within your Elf Race? Killing a terrorist, don’t make it sound like I killed an innocent elf. If you talk that way, I’ll leave now, because I suspect these so-called ’Dark Elves’ were sent by your Royal Court.

"Even if not sent by the Royal Court, given the chaos within your Elf Race, I worry about facing another assassination during my treatments later, while you both fail to uphold justice for me and sarcastically ridicule me."

As she spoke, Hilia looked towards Stephen, "What do you think?"

"We were not mocking Miss Hilia; we rushed over precisely to protect Miss Hilia. Please forgive us for being late." Stephen smiled awkwardly, "How about this, we escort Miss Hilia on her next journey?"

Stephen felt that he had already arrived swiftly.

Originally, he didn’t intend to rescue Hilia but pretended to ’accidentally’ kill Hilia while fighting the Shadow Mage.

Of course, it would have been better if the Shadow Mage had succeeded beforehand.

But no matter how he planned, he never expected Hilia would solve the Shadow Mage in an instant with lightning speed.

Even when they were about to ’capture alive,’ she killed him right in front of them.

Very frustrating, but there was nothing he could do about it.
