Anger of Ice!
After that, Link left the "Rose Petal" inn with Ron, following closely in the footsteps of Aileen. After turning a few corners, they soon arrived at a spacious little square.
"Take out your staff! Otherwise, when you lose, you'll just make excuses to deny it!"
As soon as Aileen set foot in the square, she eagerly turned around and shouted at Link.
"Little girl, you really overestimate yourself. Do I need a staff to deal with a mere apprentice mage like you?" Link scoffed, shaking his head dismissively. Not to mention that he didn't have a staff at all; even if he did, he wouldn't bother using it against Aileen!
"Oh? It seems there's going to be a duel here!"
At that moment, the commotion in the square quickly attracted the attention of many passersby. A crowd soon gathered, encircling Link, Aileen, and the others.
"Why is it a man and a woman?"
"That lady seems to be Miss Aileen of the Selhi family!"
"Who is that man, challenging a lady to a duel? How uncouth!"
"In my opinion, perhaps this man started something and then abandoned her, and Miss Aileen couldn't take it anymore, so she decided to fight back!"
"Sigh, the private lives of these nobles are so chaotic. How wonderful it would be if I were a noble…"
As the crowd continued to gossip and weave increasingly outrageous tales, Aileen's face turned pale with anger, her delicate frame trembling!
Link, on the other hand, had remarkably thick skin. Instead of feeling ashamed by the crowd's remarks, he couldn't help but laugh with delight!
"Hahaha!"
"Come on, little girl, I'll give you time to cast your spell. If you can make me take three steps in place, I'll…"
"Wrath of Ice!"
Suddenly, without a word, Aileen pulled a magic scroll from her pocket and hurled it directly at Link!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
In the next moment, a terrifying cold wind descended without warning, causing the temperature within a thirty-meter radius to plummet. A layer of white frost spread across the ground, and the crowd was caught off guard, thrown into chaos by the icy gust!
"What the hell is this?"
Feeling the bone-chilling cold, Link's expression changed dramatically. Without a second thought, he quickly cast a bone magic spell!
"Bone Shield!"
Buzz…
Three "Bone Shields" appeared around Link, but these shields, capable of withstanding sharp attacks, crumbled in less than half a second, disintegrating into a cloud of bone dust!
"Ah?"
At this point, Link was finally taken aback, frantically calling for his minions!
"Protect me! Come out and protect me!"
Buzz, buzz, buzz…
A series of six-pointed star patterns flashed by, summoning various skeletal creatures, zombies, and ghouls from the realm of the undead, forming a relentless wave!
He even summoned several of his strongest summoned creatures, the "Undying Kings," lining them up to shield him!
Crack, crack!
Boom, boom, boom!
In the next moment, countless undead were instantly frozen into icy shards by the terrifying cold wind!
However, with the entire realm of the undead as his backing, Link's summoned creatures were virtually endless!
In a desperate flurry of summoning, hundreds of undead were destroyed by the cold wind!
Fortunately, that terrifying cold was not infinite. After obliterating one last zombie, the icy gust finally exhausted its last bit of power and dissipated into the air!
Thud!
At the same time, Aileen collapsed to the ground, having drained all her magical energy from forcibly casting a spell far beyond her level!
As for Link, although he had countless undead as cannon fodder, he remained largely unscathed in the back!
Even so, the pervasive cold still left his eyebrows and hair coated in a layer of white frost, making him look like Santa Claus…
"You… you're not hurt at all?"
Seeing that she had used her most powerful third-tier magic scroll and Link remained unscathed, Aileen nearly fainted from shock!
"Ah… Achoo! Little… girl, you… have successfully… angered me!"
Link shivered, nearly turning into a popsicle!
Yet his eyes sparkled with an unusual brightness as he forced himself to step forward, approaching Aileen one step at a time!
"Y-You better not come any closer! If you do, I'll scream!"
At this moment, Aileen finally felt fear, desperately trying to back away while threatening Link loudly!
Unfortunately, Link paid no heed to her warnings, grinning wickedly as he said, "Scream all you want! Even if you shout your throat raw, it won't matter. We're in a fair duel, and if I kill you, no one will come to your aid!"
