Chapter 11: Corridor of Death

  Lucas, who had done his homework, reized Chad the Treant and knew well the deadly moves he rofit in.

  Ahead, two berserk members of the Axe Gang, trolled by Chad, charged. Veins bulged on their heads from the neural toxins.

  At the other end of the corridor, a cheetah raced towards them at breakneck speed. Its front limbs had been repced with meical parts, three bde-like cws extending with each step, leaving deep marks in the floor.

  Lucas exhaled softly. A mist dispersed before him.

  The main act was about to begin.

  The approag cheetah pounced, while roots shot up from the ground behind Lucas.

  And Lucas vanished amidst scattered ice crystals.

  Two curved swords in the air transformed into spinning ice wheels, shredding the cheetah and the roots into pieces like a grinder.

  When Lucas reappeared, he stood behind the two berserk gang members.

  With a sweep of his hands, the spinning ice wheels flew into his grasp, effortlessly decapitating the gang members along the way.

  Headless, under Chad's trol, the gang members turned and swung their axes at Lucas.

  Gripping the returning curved swords, Lucas sshed downwards, leaving deep marks on the floor. Chad's roots were severed, and the headless gang members finally fell.

  Frost spread where Lucas stood, and once agaiiful ice mist bloomed in the air.

  Meanwhile, over a dozen roots pierced out from the walls and floor around him.

  The Ice Dance Garden released at level 80 was beyond parison to the level 60 release in power.

  Instantly frozen, the protruding roots were gently split in half with a touch of the sword.

  Moisture and intense cold stirred up a blizzard in the corridor, mixed with blooming ice mist blowing towards Chad.

  The invasion of cold, corpses of death, and expanding ice yers in the corridor made Chad realize the vast differen strength between himself and the intruder.

  Watg the elf swiftly glide towards him on the ice, Chad tried to retract his feet, but his roots were all frozen in the floor and walls.

  Uo move, Chad could only swing his viurned arms, hurling axes towards Lucas.

  Gliding on the ice, Lucas moved along the wall's ice yer, slid from the ceiling, then down another wall.

  Evading the axes and vine arms, he appeared beside Chad in a blink within teleportatie.

  The short knives in his haended into long knives ented with ice. The left bde severed Chad's viurned arm, while the right bde cut off his rooted feet.

  Turning around, he gathered strength and swung a bde, a massive ice bde grazing the ice yer on the wall, spraying id debris towards the Axe Gang members appearing at the other end of the corridor.

  Following through, each stroke sent a bde of ice sshing through, nearly c every angle in the narrow corridor, leaving the charging Axe Gang members o hide as they were crushed in succession by the three ice bdes.

  Screams echoed, body parts scattered. Blood rapidly solidified into various states of splintered ice.

  Having dispatched Chad, Lucas advanced down the corridor, hearing the sounds of battle ahead where reinforts of the Axe Gang were arriving.

  These hardened warriors, aced to bloodshed, roared and charged forward upon seeing the elf invader who had sin Chad and many others.

  Behind them, a staircase led to the castle's sed floor, the mandatory path to the Jumu's Bedroom.

  Lucas pushed back against the charging Axe Gang members.

  He released the dual swords, which turned into ice wheels swirling around him.

  Then he drew a broad-headed cleaver from his backpack.

  The dual swords, now named Radiant Starshine, were flexible aile to use. Ited, they signifitly boosted ice attributes' power.

  The broad-headed cleaver, named A Blue Rock, wielded immense ford power. Holy-ented, it signifitly enhanced holy skills' power.

  Lucas gripped the cleaver, and a glow emanated from his right arm through the bck long-sleeved glove, radiating outwards.

  A burst of light from the released holy skills.

  [Extraordinary divine power] [Swift movements] [Sacred Fmes]

  The ice dance garden surged forward, and frost blossomed among the charging Mad Axe gang members, instantly freezing them in their damp state.

  The freezing intensified, t the movements of some gang members.

  Lucas's speed increased again uhe influence of swift a, leaping into the midst of the Mad Axe gang.

  The ice wheels ed, stirring up a haze of limbs and blood.

  He gripped his bdes tightly and struck down heavily. Erupting holy fmes demolished the walls, turning several into ash with each swing.

  The holy fmes spttered in all dires.

  Those suffering from frostbite were then scorched by the intense heat, their skin and muscle suffering severe double damage.

  As new frost blossoms unfolded, the freezing resumed. It was a true csh of id fire.

  The two ice wheels tio ...

  In the narrow corridor, there was simply no room to dodge. Most Mad Axe gang members didn't eve a good look at the intruder before being wraiths.

  One wave of Mad Axe gang members was wiped out, and another surged forward.

  The newly arrived gang members saw the littered bodies and t ice sculptures and couldn't help but show hesitation.

  Driven by the advang chill, they quickly retreated. But their chests were immediately pierced by sharp bdes.

  "If you back off, then be prepared to die!"

  A figure leaped out from the heads of the Mad Axe gang members.

  His movements were incredibly swift, gliding effortlessly between walls and ceilings. Those with poor eyesight couldn't even catch his form.

  He was fast, seemingly ued by the ice dance garden's freezing effects.

  Lucas charged forward with his bde. The ice wheels rolled towards the newer.

  He got a clear look at that guy.

  Gnome [Berhe three-star hero.

  Except for his head and torso, his waist down and both arms had all been repced with meical parts.

  Bernie had a low ter of gravity and high speed, his special foot structure allowing him to move vertically on surfaces.

  He was the Mad Axe gang's dedicated assassin.

  At this moment, Bernie's hands turned into e-shaped bdes. Utilizing his agility and advantage of being small and nimble, he swiftly closed in on Lucas.

  Despite the damp and freezing effects affeg him, he had to elimihe intruding elf at the fastest speed.

  Bernie maneuvered between walls to dodge the flying ice wheels, then nded and swiftly charged forward.

  Close quarters!

  Bernie was very fident in his close bat abilities, while his oppo wielded a heavy cleaver.

  In such a distance, speed determined who lived and who died.

  Seeing the elf swing the cleaver downward, Bernie felt that the "slow" cleaver gave him enough time to sider whether to stab her throat or heart.

  The bde, burning with holy fmes, desded, but Bernie smoothly dodged...

  Huh?

  'I clearly dodged!'
