Chapter 1361 Ice Domain
Chapter 1361 Ice Domain
Diana spread her arms. Her mana gushed out like a frosty wind, freezing what it touched. The collapsing building froze in an instant, stopping as a beautiful arched structure. People rushed out of the building, even jumping from the windows.
"Don't panic!" Oriole shouted for them. "Form a single line and leave the building!" Diana saw the people disregard his words and trample each other. She sighed and raised a hand, forming countless spears of ice above the crowd. Once the spears appeared, the crowd stopped.
"Ah, don't be afraid. We are here to save you. My friend just wanted to grab your attention," Oriole said as he turned toward Diana. The latter formed a pedestal from ice, and he climbed it. "Please form a single line as you leave the building. It will not collapse anymore."
The people now listened, and the building was evacuated in time. Diana released her frost and the building collapsed under its own weight. She turned to see a few other buildings floating under Li's control.
"Most of the people are still hypnotized, and they are rushing toward the public square," Oriole said as he nudged Diana. She stared at the listless people walking in the same direction without thinking. Unless their lives were threatened, they would resume their walking.
"We need to find a way to dispel the hypnosis, but what should we do?" Oriole asked with a frown. "I have an idea, but I don't know how well it's going to work."
"What do you need?" asked Diana without hesitation. Her trust in him made Oriole surprised, but he hesitated. "We have no better alternatives."
"If the radio stations are still around, I could use them," Oriole explained while spreading his palms open. "I can broadcast a specific frequency that would hurt the human ear. The pain might dispel the hypnosis for some."
"Alright, then-" Diana began as she turned around, but noticed something strange. The clashes of wrath and creation stopped from the location where Arthur was fighting against Deluge.
"I cannot... feel his presence," Oriole said while gulping down. "Something happened to Arthur."
I know," Diana answered with her eyes glowing. "I'll return. Execute the plan with Julia and Li. I will... stop Deluge."
"You cannot win against him on your own," said Oriole as he grabbed her arm. "Let's all return."
"Trust me," she said while breaking free. "I'm more than enough."
Diana then spread her blue wings and soared. She was faster than jets as she turned into an afterimage in the sky. Oriole watched her leave and sighed, feeling a little pain in his heart.
"You just got engaged... so why is this happening?"
Diana reached the battlefield in less than two seconds, landing on the ground in a blast of ice and fire. She found Deluge standing in front of a stone statue, with Arthur nowhere in sight. She glared at the calamity with rage.
"Where is he?" asked Diana as her ice and fire clashes against one another, destroying the landscape around her. She stomped on the ground and advanced, creating a giant crater beneath her,
"Princess of Ice and Fire!" Deluge exclaimed with a grin as he raised his stone sword. "You claim to love Arthur Netherborne, but cannot even recognize him?" Deluge said with a laugh.
Diana was confused, before she flinched and stared at the stone statue. She disregarded it but now noticed its appearance. It resembled Arthur, and judging from the calamity's words, it was him.
"What have you done?!" Diana shouted as she soared higher, flapping her wings to send a wave of destruction. Deluge jumped backward as the wave passed Arthur.
The moment that ice and fire approached the statue, they disappeared. Deluge on the other hand landed a few meters back while shrinking his sword back into a necklace. "Arthur is right there, Princess," said Deluge with a grin. "He is now trapped in a prison of time. Nothing could affect him, and he cannot affect a thing. This is the Virtue of Patience, which not even Ragnar has survived."
Diana shook as she descended from the sky, approaching the statue. Her hand trembled as she reached to touch his face. Her hand stopped before she could touch him as an invisible barrier coated him.
Her gentle touch turned into a fist of flames as she turned toward Deluge. Her expression morphed from beauty to absolute rage as the entire battlefield began freezing around her. Deluge grinned at her.
"You were never going to win this fight, Princess," Deluge told her. "Even if he could escape this prison, this would not be the end. We are preparing to summon a god that could erase him from existence.""
Diana did not answer him and simply floated toward him. Her spiritual armor began coating her body as she raised a palm. A power pulsed from her hand as ice covered the entire city of Kera. It turned into a prison that encased Deluge inside.
"A domain, huh?" muttered Deluge as he turned toward her. "You think a simple domain could kill a calamity?"
Diana again ignored him as the armor finished forming around her body. Then, the image of an ice spirit appeared behind her, which handed an ice sword to her. Deluge stared at the creature that almost killed him the previous time and grinned. "Both of them are monsters," he said with sweat freezing on his face. "I couldn't understand before, but I know what this is now. This is not an ice spirit," Deluge said while looking at the figure behind Diana. "You are a descendant of a Goddess." Diana raised her sword high, and a similar one was created out of ice. It floated above the city of Kera, being as long as the city itself. The giant sword came crashing down toward the Calamity of Lust.
"This is a little bit of an overkill," Deluge said while staring at the giant sword descend toward him. "There is not even a place to run."
The giant ice sword crushed the calamity beneath it, letting his blood splatter in every direction. Kera shook from the impact as most people began freezing because of the chilly wind inside the domain. In the center was Diana, who descended from the sky to stand in front of Arthur.
