Chapter 454: Ice Crystal Seal

"Clang!"

The kunai clashed with the ice blade, producing a metallic collision sound as Farbauti wielded her ice blade against Charles.

However, the next moment, a surge of icy power spread along the kunai towards Charles, instantly freezing him in place.

Seeing Charles frozen in ice, Farbauti chuckled lightly, "Supreme Merlin, is this all you've got?"

While speaking, she continued her attack towards Charles, swinging her ice blade to strike him down.

"Crack! Boom!"

The ice blade struck Charles's chest, shattering the ice layer, but instead of turning into fragments as Farbauti expected, Charles was sent flying after the ice layer shattered.

"Boom!"

Charles flew like a cannonball, crashing through numerous pillars along the way, finally rolling on the ground, before stabilizing his body by slamming both hands on the ground.

Brushing off the dust from his body, Charles casually remarked, "Not bad strength."

Regarding Farbauti's attack, Charles was somewhat surprised, but he didn't mind. Under that attack just now, he didn't suffer any damage, and the ice power didn't freeze him. With his immortality, such attacks couldn't harm him much.

Seeing Charles stand up seemingly unscathed, Farbauti frowned slightly. Although her attack just now couldn't be considered a full-force strike, its power was definitely not weak.

Seeing this, Farbauti waved her hand, and the moisture in the sky immediately condensed into countless ice spikes. Then, she extended her hand downward, and the ice spikes flew towards Charles's direction.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

The sky was filled with ice spikes, resembling spears and arrows, flying towards Charles's location, seemingly aiming to pierce him to death on the spot.

Seeing this terrifying attack range and speed, Charles did not use a substitution jutsu, but instead used Gentle Fist Style of the Hyuga Clan.

"Gentle Fist – Revolving Heaven!"

"Boom!"

As the countless ice spikes fell, it seemed like an explosion occurred. The ground within a hundred-meter radius of Charles resonated with a tremendous rumbling sound, as if it had been sunk by a large amount.

At the moment of the attack, Charles released a large amount of gentle fist chakra from his body's chakra points, spinning in a circular motion, rebounding all the incoming ice spikes.

Under the "Absolute Defense," all the ice spikes aimed at Charles were deflected. As the Revolving Heaven ended, Charles himself suffered no damage and successfully blocked Farbauti's attack.

However, looking around, he saw numerous ice spikes protruding from the ground.

Seeing these ice spikes, Charles's heart sank. Immediately he searched for Farbauti's figure. but looking around, he found nothing except for the ice spikes.

Just as Charles was about to leave the area, he suddenly heard Farbauti's voice in his ear.

"Ice Crystal Lock!"

Suddenly, the ice spikes surrounding Charles seemed to come to life, instantly transforming into huge diamond-shaped ice crystals, linking together to trap Charles inside.

From the outside, it seemed like the battlefield suddenly turned into a giant ice crystal gemstone, over a hundred meters in size.

At this moment, Farbauti appeared outside the ice crystal lock. She pressed her hands on top of the ice crystal lock, and the air inside the seal began to rapidly decrease.

From the periphery, the hollow interior of the ice crystal began to be filled with ice step by step.

Farbauti intended to completely fill the interior with solid ice, so that Charles would be trapped inside like an insect in amber, completely immobilized.

However, due to the enormous size of the ice crystal lock, it would take quite some time to solidify the interior with ice, not something achievable in just a moment or two.

Inside the ice crystal lock, Charles looked at the diamond-shaped ice walls appearing before him, feeling uncertain, "Is this a sealing barrier of the ice type?"

Seeing the ice walls thickening before him, Charles formed hand seals, and immediately,

"Fire Release - Great Fireball Technique!"

The originally ten-meter diameter giant fireball, within the ice crystal lock, was reduced by half, with a diameter of only five meters.

"Boom!"

The great fireball collided with the ice barrier, but instead of shattering it, only a small portion of the ice melted before extinguishing completely.

The melted ice immediately refroze into ice in the next second, and the ice wall began to expand inward at an increasing speed.

Seeing that his Great Fireball had been greatly reduced in power and caused minimal damage, Charles realized that within this ice crystal lock, the power of fire ninjutsu was severely limited.

As the ice spread towards him, Charles quickly stepped back, increasing the distance between himself and the ice wall, retreating towards the center of the seal.

The temperature inside was extremely low, causing the air exhaled by Charles to instantly freeze into frost, and his body temperature was rapidly drained away, leaving him in a hypothermic state.

Charles directly activated Scorch Release Kekkei Genkai, and four Scorch Release fireballs flew up around him, dispelling the intense cold.

While Charles was studying the ice crystal lock inside, on the outside battlefield, Aoda was the first to reach his limit. He was pulled out by two ice giant leaders from underground and was about to be frozen to death.

At the critical moment, Aoda released his summoning and turned into smoke, returning to the summoning realm to recuperate.

Seeing Aoda dissipate into smoke, the two ice giant leaders looked at each other, unable to understand what was happening.

Looking around the battlefield, they found that the large toad was still resisting stubbornly and immediately joined the attack with others.

With the addition of two more ice giant leaders, Gamakichi was also unable to withstand it. After using the Short Blade once more, he sent himself back to the summoning realm.

Seeing Gamakichi and Aoda disappear one after another, one of the ice giant leaders spoke up, "What's going on? Where did they go?"

"I don't know, just like when they appeared, these battle pets also disappeared."

The four of them then looked towards the direction of the slug, only to see the last remaining ice giant leader blocking the slug melting in the acid, with no sign of life left.

The slug's huge body was very conspicuous on the battlefield. With a size of three hundred meters, the attacks of the ice giants were like scratching an itch to her.

Wherever she went, no one could stop her, and she even killed two ice giant leaders so far.
