As Zephyr focused his gaze to meet the path ahead, a loud popping noise had already come his way. It was cold, extremely cold. Snow dropped from the sky, and painted the ground white. Ice spikes as tall as a man dropped to the ground, refracting light brightly. A great cold chill enveloped the area. No longer was there any black fog, it was as though Zephyr had entered a whole new world, one which was far more terrifying than before — a cold, cold world.Zephyr heard his battle attire rip. A part of his shirt had been frozen solid, and ripped. “‘This cold…’ Zephyr thought he had not expected it to be so severe. He quickly channeled his energy into a protective barrier once more. Suddenly, a great wave of cold swept over him once again.Zephyr could clearly make out many scars forming on his barrier. Zephyr’s energy levels were far greater than most, had it been a common Agile of level one or two here, they would have immediately been frozen to death, and soon shattered into frozen pi
In ancient times, vampires were often used by those who practiced evil. They leveraged these creatures with their inability to die, utilizing them as tools for training. Stronger vampires could even conjure elemental attacks. However, vampires did not have souls, rendering their powers subpar when compared to those with ancient bloodlines. Nonetheless, one must not forget their undead nature.The vampires that were running after Zephyr were Blizzard Vampires, and they possessed great, icy powers. In other words, ice was their main element. Zephyr quickly unsheathed Draken, engaging his Focus. The sword glowed and shimmered in his palm, “Taste lightning!” Zephyr screamed as the wind kicked up beneath his feet, accompanied by a streak of electricity. Zephyr was preparing his attack stance. With Zephyr at the center, his flurry attack rushed to them like a blossoming flower, striking outwards at everything. Zephyr’s lightning sword skill was an incredible thing to witness, its speed wa
’I wonder if brother Murray and the others really are in this accursed land…’ Zephyr thought as he scanned the cold plains around. He frowned, remembering that Murray and the others were far stronger than he was. Though they did not have any electrical powers. The vampires he had faced would have been very deadly to them. Zephyr sighed a breath of relief as he felt his energy pool start to replenish. When it was done, he took a step out into the cold environment…As he walked the ice plains, Zephyr’s expression grew more and more solemn. ‘This feeling…’ Zephyr thought as he felt the cold become colder as he marched onwards. His protective barrier was barely holding up. The cold winds blew past, cutting at everything with its iciness. Each gust was like a hot knife, cutting at his barrier, his clothes, his skin. It surrounded him, following him as he moved along, like an icy-blue dragon. The howling of the wind was as similar as a roar.“Hmph…” Zephyr huffed, increasing his speed. Aft
If this attack had hit him, his fate would have been unimaginable. “He’s fast!” Zephyr grimaced as he came to a frightening stop, cracking the ground below. It was Zephyr’s turn. A great stroke of lightning came, followed by a whirl of electricity. The Ice King, feeling the electricity coming his way, let out an ear-piercing screech. He quickly raised his staff against Zephyr as self defense. The two powers clashed and it created a shockwave. “What?!” Zephyr gasped as the energies came to a boil.The Ice King stood there with the staff in hand. He was blocking Zephyr’s attack seamlessly. Although he was knocked back slightly, he was not completely overpowered. His crimson eyes glowed brightly… Once more, the Ice King let out a great roar. With a flick of his other hand, a blast of energy came at Zephyr with incredible speed. As his attack rushed over, one could see the air freeze as the attack passed, forming a great shaft of ice. The attack then quickly surrounded Zephyr within a bli
Another bone-chilling screech came. Suddenly, a layer of ice appeared on the Ice King’s body. It expanded to the extreme, forming a wall of ice. However, Zephyr was a master of lightning and he possessed great destructive power. If the Ice King were any other elemental monster, he might have had a chance. Alas, he was but a beast of ice. With another stroke of lightning, Zephyr’s electricity cut through the ice wall, shocking the Ice King’s body.Almost instantly, the layers of ice exploded while the Ice King’s body flashed. The vampire’s body was smoking, and it emitted blue smoke. Its once battered and broken body was now falling from the sky into shreds. What was left was a blue skeleton that lay on the ground. “It’s not dead!” Zephyr paused, watching the skeleton jolt as it was covered in an electrical blanket. He was in awe of its durability.Zephyr had released all his energy, yet it was still insufficient. His true power was too weak, his mastery over lightning was still novic
Zephyr suddenly noticed a flash of light. “Is that…?” he wondered. He stared at the shining object, and with a flick of his finger, sent out his energy to bring it over. It was a gold and jade ring. Upon it were many intricate engravings, the ring itself also gave off an odd aura. Zephyr had seen this ring before, it was the one the Ice King had worn.The ring dropped onto his palm easily. “Is this another Loot ring?” Zephyr wondered as he inspected it. He sent his spirit into the ring, finding a whole new world within. The space it housed was way bigger than his current Loot ring, and even had some items within it. ‘This is a lot of space, this ring must be worth a fortune!’ Zephyr thought as he dropped a bead of fresh blood onto it. With that, he had now officialized his proprietorship over the item.“Strange, even if these vampires were under the control of someone, I doubt they’d entrust such a valuable item and its contents with a vampire!” Zephyr wondered. It was a strange thin
The steeds of the Headless Horsemen started to whine and neigh. Each of their emerald green eyes carried wicked contempt as they locked onto Zephyr. They stared at his energy signature with greedy hunger, it was as though they wished to devour it.‘There’s too many of them…’ Zephyr thought. Although they had not begun to battle, he could tell from their energy signature it would be a challenging one to overcome. This unsettled him greatly. He started to wonder if he should have brought some other Supreme Peak apprentices along as backup. Before Zephyr could further think about the potential threat he was about to encounter, the Horsemen made their move.Suddenly, they began to charge hungrily at Zephyr. Each of them carried a heavy black spear of which each tip emanated a wicked glow. Zephyr had no choice but to meet their attacks with his own personal weapon — Draken. Through the clashing of steel, one of the horses raised their hooves against Zephyr. Then, a gust of wind blew past
Ray after ray of bladed energy came swiping past, coming together into a harmony of serrated, electrified edges. It was a manifestation of the sharpest swords the world had to offer. Zephyr wasted no time unleashing his electrical fury upon the undead assailants. His last stroke easily cut the last rider into pieces as it joined the other unmoving pile.Finally, Zephyr stood there sword in hand smiling, satisfied, and relieved. The combined strength of the Headless Horsemen could have easily given fighters like Vert Murray a run for their money. Only someone as powerful as Zephyr Khan — with his incredible strength and godly energy — could have turned the tide in his favor just like that.Once Zephyr made sure the riders were gone for good, he noticed some mysterious gems that lay among the bone piles. ‘Could that be…?!’ Zephyr wondered to himself as he stared at the gems, his expression quickly changed to one of shock as he prodded further…These gems had a nice sheen to them, in f
