GACHA SOVEREIGN

"True Spirit Body. Ice Phoenix Queen Divine Ice Form."

The surrounding temperature dropped almost instantly the moment that pair of ice blue crystal wings appeared. Alex furrowed his eyebrows, noticing the fact that this was something different than what Vera had. After all, Vera couldn't do something like this.

It was obviously something that he would ask after this battle.

Alicia glanced at the devil with her glowing eyes that seemed to release a portion of the cold here.

"First Divine Ice Form, Frozen World."

She raised her hand as the air above it turned into an ice crystal. Suddenly, the ice itself released a powerful shock wave, carrying the extreme cold.

Everything ran by this shock wave started turning into ice, startling all the devils.

'Before a Spirit King appeared to rule over the spirits, there are six tribes that call themselves the ruler of each element. One of them is the Ice Phoenix Spirit, and their ruler is the Ice Phoenix Spirit Queen.' Ilumi gave a brief introduction about what happened.

Alex nodded as he could finally understand why Alicia released such an overbearing pressure. He wanted to know about the other rulers as well, but he realized that the elder seemed to have lost his patience.

He covered his body with Pure Fire and nodded to Alicia.

The elder had recovered from his shock and gritted his teeth, knowing what kind of person in front of him.

"You… You are a Spirit! We have never set our foot to the Spirit World, so your argument is invalid." The elder gritted his teeth. It would be the most foolish move to invade the Spirit World because it was under a God King's protection. At the same time, the Spirit God's former influence was too big, scaring almost all Divine Worlds out there.

"It's useless to reason with you." Alicia shook her head as she raised her hand again, creating a small blue light on her palm.

"Snow White Blizzard."

Snow started forming above them and falling down. The temperature became colder and colder.

"Domain huh…" Alex noticed the first technique she used was to create an ice domain, and this technique to amplify the domain. The third one would probably be the main attack, and the elder also knew this.

He flew toward Alicia with the snake.

Alex clenched his sword, ready to take this guy on, not letting him get past him. However, Alicia simply said, "Can you take care of the snake?"

Alex took another glance at her before flying toward the snake with his two dragons.

"Swallowing Heaven." He hadn't used this despite having summoned it, and now that he could focus on this, he would definitely finish this snake within this instant.

The snake released another poison from his mouth but met Alex's Pure Fire along the way. At the same time, the two dragons had arrived at the snake's side, biting the snake with the fangs created by Pure Fire.

Obviously, the Pure Fire immediately burned the snake bit by bit. The elder noticed the difference and slightly glanced at the snake to see if he could help, but it was at this moment Alicia finally made her move.

"Second Divine Ice Form, Blessing of Ice."

The technique created a small shock wave, but the elder didn't find anything different in his surroundings. At the same time, Alicia wasn't someone who would play with a technique like that.

'What is it? There must be something hidden.' He gritted his teeth and looked around, wondering if he missed something. Without knowing Alicia's hidden blade, he continued his way toward Alicia since the best way to stop something like that was to kill the user herself.

However, little did he know that the moment he passed the blizzard, so many snowflakes fell upon him, and each of them was sharp like a razor blade.

"!!!" The elder widened his eyes, watching how they actually cut his skin. Green blood began to flow out of the wounds, covering him with blood.

A translucent green barrier shrouded the elder's body to protect his body from the sharp snowflakes, but this was exactly her plan.

"Third Divine Ice Form, Ice Executioner."

A sword slowly formed in the air, freezing anything around it.

The elder raised his vision and waved his sword upward, releasing a green Sword Wave.

Alicia squinted her eyes and finally slashed the sword down. A shock wave shook the city again before each attack influenced each other.

The poison inside the Sword Wave came inside the sword, trying to melt it. At the same time, the sword tried to freeze the Sword Wave as a part of it had been frozen.

It continued for a few more seconds before each of them destroyed each other.

"Ho?!" Alicia raised her eyebrows, never expecting to have this kind of effect, but the elder suddenly bowed and spat blood.

It came out of nowhere, making people think it was due to him overexerting his power. Yet the miscalculation disappeared the moment the elder glanced at the side, finding his snake died in Kai's hand.

"Impossible. The record said this poison snake couldn't be extinguished." The elder gritted his teeth, not wanting to believe it.

"It's simple. Your poison is nothing in front of my fire." Alex came to Alicia's side with a poker face.

"You…" The elder had never been mad like this to the point he was the first one to charge in rage. Seeing this, Alex played along with him.

The two clashed again for several minutes while Alicia was creating an array on the ground.

"One Inch Spear." Alex used his technique again, pinning the elder to the ground to create a massive opportunity for Alicia.

Alicia obviously noticed this and appeared on the ground, placing her hand on the frozen ground.

"Soul Binding Array!" Alicia activated the array she made during this fight, creating so many chains from the array. It flew toward the elder and chased him.

The elder narrowed his eyes and flew around while avoiding the chain, but Alex kept making it hard until one point the chains finally caught him.

With a single feel, he was convinced that the chains were restricting his soul instead of his body, so the only way to break free was to channel his Divine Energy to the soul and blasted them.

"Ha!" He shouted as the chains got destroyed by something invisible, but he noticed another incoming attack from Alicia and got shocked by the insane amount of power behind it. "What the heck is that?"

"Too late." Alicia harrumphed and used her technique, not letting the elder escape. "Fourth Divine Ice Form, Queen's Palm."

Suddenly, the snow disappeared as if they were never there to begin with. However, Alex managed to see the flow of energy and found out that the snow coming from Alicia's energy was sucked into her hand. Even Alex was surprised by how much energy she concentrated on that palm.

Alicia didn't care about it and released all the energy into a single giant blue hand, flying toward the elder.

"This…" The elder's heart skipped a beat. He could sense how powerful it was, and took a deep breath, calming his heart down. "Although I haven't reached the Sword God Stage yet, I am not far from it. I will wrest everything in this attack and let you see everything that I have accumulated during my journey."

A green aura leaked out of his hand, covering the blade. He slashed forward with all his strength and released a gas like sword attack that covered the palm before moving to its back.

Nonetheless, the attack was still not powered by a Divine Intent, so Alicia's attack began to freeze all the gas as it dropped to the ground in the form of droplets.

The ice also took a lot of damage as it was melting all over, so the devil released the same attack that destroyed Alicia's ice sword.

"Green Devil Blade."

The Sword Wave split the palm into two before heading toward Alicia. It was at this moment that he realized something was missing, no, someone was missing.

Alex smiled and knocked the half-palm away, revealing himself. Space Element and Pure Fire had covered his blade as he finally swung forth.

"Three Purities Slash."

It turned out that the palm itself was a distraction. To think that Alicia used that powerful attack only to let Alex take all the glory.

The elder gritted his teeth and struck the sword without using any Martial Arts because he knew he wouldn't make it if he used any techniques.

Only a poison that was soon neutralized by Pure Fire and his Sword Intent that soon got overpowered by Alex's Divine Intent covered his sword.

The ground started shaking by the sheer amount of this attack alone as the Fire and Divine Intent ran through the ground, hitting and cracking the barrier.

"I won't lose!" The elder shouted and used all his strength to repel this. "Ha!"

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, Alex's attack was far too strong, much less without his other arm that had been taken away by this same attack.

The conclusion came in a sudden when the elder's sword suddenly snapped.

"No!" The elder roared as the Sword Wave exploded instead of cutting him into two. The Spiritual Energy immediately swept the smoke produced by the explosion, revealing how the elder was still intact and alive.

When Alex was about to attack him again, he realized that the energy was already too weak, and the elder's consciousness should have been blurry.

The body slowly fell to the ground, hitting the ground with his back.

Alicia appeared before Alex, looking at how the elder fell.

"No, no. I am not willing." The elder stretched his hand to the sky, never expecting that the whole tribe died. Excluding Ilumi, all of them were only a Rank 10 God. And yet, they had the ability to destroy the whole tribe.

This was something insane. Not a single poison was working because of Alex and Sherry. In fact, it was due to the two of them they managed to win this battle. The poisons around the town would have killed them while heavily injuring Ilumi. But Alex's Spirit Eyes could see those Rank 8 or Divine Poison around the area and dispatched Sherry and Nelson to handle them.

That was the biggest plan that would usually kill tens of thousands, but it was rendered useless. After that, Alicia's transformation shocked him the most. He was unwilling to recognize the fact that they couldn't do a single thing to their opponents and see them massacring the tribe.

Alex and Alicia were also too abnormal as their strength was above their peers. Although he could see that their strength was equal to him if they fought separately, it was pointless rambling because there was no enemy sane enough to fight alone unless they were very confident.

Besides, his ability was lower than a normal Rank 9 God since he was more specialized in poison, not fighting skill.

He took another glance at Alex and Alicia and gritted his teeth before his hand suddenly fell.

The elder had died. Alex and Alicia looked at each other before the former asked, "Can you explain the things about the spirit to me?"

"I will do so after we deal with this devil. A day should be enough to cover everything you want, and we will return to Eulja after that."

"Yeah. That's probably the best. And we can meet "them" after this." Alex smiled.

Alicia nodded in agreement. "I really miss them. I wonder if they are going to beat me since I look far younger than them."

The cheeky smile full of teasing appeared on her face as though she planned to tease her family after this.

"Haha…" Alex could only laugh before glancing at the terrified devils. Having lost their God Rank Experts, the devils turned pale, knowing that nothing would help them anymore.

"I am sorry, but I can't leave any of you alive as the last thing I want to do is an assassin with poison," Alex said according to his experience.
