The mysterious red-robed mage (2)

There was no time to dodge or recast the Flame Shield. Gleson could only try to turn his body to avoid the vital points.

However, in the midst of trying to regain his balance, Gleson couldn't even manage to avoid the vital points. He watched as the ice blade with its cold light rushed into his chest!

"I... will die like this..."

Without the protection of the Flame Shield, the powerful ice blade would surely pierce through his body. Gleson's head buzzed. Before this, he had never thought he would die. He had only thought of achieving his accomplishments, leaving this boring city, finding his sister, and realizing the dream he had never told anyone.

But now, the feeling of death had descended upon him. A sudden despair arose in his heart, and Gleson found that he no longer wanted anything.

He was about to be hit, about to die. In this haze, Gleson felt as if time had stopped. His gaze shifted to the side, where he had just met a new brother.

At this moment, his only thought was worry, worrying that after he died, the members of the Watson Magic Guild wouldn't spare Drogo...

Time seemed to have stopped, or at least slowed down, as Gleson was surprised to find that the ice blade hadn't struck him yet, and he was still alive.

Suddenly, Gleson heard a cry that was so loud it jolted him awake.

"I...I'm not dead?"

Coming to his senses, Gleson couldn't make sense of what was happening before him. Everything around him was just as it was before, but that blade that was about to kill him was nowhere to be seen.

He didn't remember being hit, but where did the blade go?

Overcome by the sudden fear of death, Gleson lost his judgment, but everyone else watching could see clearly. They cried out in surprise because they saw something unbelievable.

The ice blade was supposed to hit Gleson and kill him, and at that moment Gleson wasn't able to dodge. If Gleson had been killed, they wouldn't have been so surprised. But it was precisely because Gleson was still alive, and because they saw that the powerful ice blade disappeared inexplicably the moment it touched Gleson's body, that they were so astonished.

They couldn't understand it, but there was one person who did understand, and it was precisely because he understood that he didn't intervene to save Gleson.

That person was Drogo, who was just as anxious when he first saw the third ice blade, and even prepared to step in and save Gleson.

But soon, he realized the unique nature of this ice blade, and the familiar sense of unreality made him understand that this third blade was clearly fake, just an illusion.

Can illusions kill people? The answer is certainly no. That's why he didn't jump out excitedly to save Gleson.

"Hmph, you're lucky this time."

No one knew why the mysterious figure in the red cloak made a noise of disdain and said that Gleson was lucky. All they saw was the figure using their powerful and mysterious magic to toy with Gleson.

The voice of the figure in the red cloak was as slim as their figure, and one could even say that it was quite pleasant to listen to. However, no one paid attention to their voice now because everyone's attention was drawn to their raised arm.

"This time, you won't be so lucky. Frozen Ice!"

Rather than yelling, it was more of a screech, but the strange sound brought with it a terrifying method of killing.

Gleson, who had just regained his consciousness, sensed something was amiss when he saw the figure's movements. And the end of the figure's incantation almost caused him to lose his mind.

Frozen Ice, an intermediate magic, but it had another name - pseudo-advanced!

Pseudo-advanced, false advanced, is almost equivalent to advanced magic, which means that the power of Frozen Ice has reached almost the same level as advanced magic.

The freezing of his fire element by the figure before was just a simple freezing spell powered by strong magic. As long as time passed, it would break automatically without the need for any further action.

But this Frozen Ice was a complete killer move. Once hit, not only would one be frozen into a block of ice, but they would also die without a complete body due to the subsequent explosion.

Even Gleson in a fully awakened state would not be able to withstand Frozen Ice, let alone his current state. And when it comes to avoiding it, the word "urgent" in Frozen Ice is not just about the speed of freezing!

The thoughts in Gleson's mind were fleeting, and the figure in the red cloak had already completed their spell. At the tip of their raised hand, on their fingertips, was a small ice-blue light point that shone brightly.

The ice-blue light point was tiny, as if it were just a shiny speck. But Gleson knew, Drogo knew, Tyler and Fennimore, the two intermediate mages, knew that this little light point was Frozen Ice!

Swoosh -

A small ice blue light spot disappeared from the fingertips of the red-clothed mysterious person and reappeared right in front of Gleson. Gleson had no reaction at all, and there was no possibility of dodging.

"Hmph, die!"

The red-clothed mysterious person snorted contemptuously. In his view, Gleson's struggle had come to an end.

But then, the red-clothed mysterious person was stunned, and everyone from the Watson Magic Guild was stunned too. Some even rubbed their eyes, as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

What did they see? Just as Gleson was about to be hit by the rapid freeze, he inexplicably slipped and fell backward.

And he fell at just the right moment, just in time to avoid the attack of the rapid freeze...

In the midst of everyone's astonishment, the rapid freeze magic that was originally attacking Gleson ultimately hit the wall behind him. In the blink of an eye, the entire wall was frozen in a layer of ice. Then, cracks appeared on the ice surface, and the whole wall collapsed with a loud bang.

"This...such a powerful magic, it didn't hit Gleson, but hit the wall?"

The people of the Watson Magic Guild were dumbfounded. They weren't so much concerned about the waste, but rather they couldn't believe how this situation had happened.

Only the red-clothed mysterious person on the field, after the initial surprise, quickly recovered and looked toward the ground where Gleson was. There was a thin layer of ice rapidly disappearing from there, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared completely.

Then, the red-clothed mysterious person's gaze turned to the person next to Gleson. Just now, someone had jumped up from below and was now landing next to Gleson.

This person didn't pay any attention to the red-clothed mysterious person and just reached out to Gleson, saying, "How can we fight without me? Leave the rest to me!"
