MMORPG: Rebirth of the Mortal Online

Chapter 296: Ice World



Running out of the forest, the First Sister came to a slow stop and saw the new set of stairs that seemed to lead up somewhere.

They were shrouded in a mist, so she couldn't accurately tell where they were going.

'Please be the exit.' She hoped and stepped onto the stairs before disappearing into the mist.

...

A few Crazed Angels crashed down from the ground, right in front of Adam, and wielded their swords with a crazed glint in their eyes.

Adam looked over his shoulder at the meditating Nerezza and tightened his grip on the sword.

With the Crazed Angels lunging forward, Adam met them head-on and clashed swords with them with all his might.

As his strength was still at the Prime Mercenary, he was no match for Royal Princes, according to the system.

The system calculated his strength to be Prime Mercenary, and usually that calculated strength was correct, but there had been instances when Prime Mercenaries had defeated Royal Princes.

How?

Royal Princes should be stronger.

The system calculated the strength, skill, and abilities of the user, so the calculation was usually very correct.

However, the system didn't count one thing-a very important thing that could make the user stronger.

The willpower and the desire to win.

Prime Mercenaries who defeated Royal Princes had, in most cases, a greater desire to win. That closed the gap between their ranks.

Shriek!

The Crazed Angels released a deafening shriek.

"Haaa!" Adam screamed and smashed his sword forward, trying to push the Crazed Angels away.

However, the Crazed Angels had greater physical strength, and since there were three of them facing him, they started pushing him back.

His feet started to slide on the dirt-covered ground, and he was soon pushed all the way to where Nerezza was standing!

'Let's try this!'

From Adam's right shoulder, a strange muscle mass emerged that slowly shaped to be an arm. A disgusting, disfigured arm.

Thousand-Arm Monster of Armageddon!

The disfigured arm launched forward and punched one of the Crazed Angels across the face. Within Adam's body, dozens of disfigured arms protruded like grotesque tentacles, flailing wildly and striking anything in their path.

The arms smacked the Crazed Angels away with brutal force.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Since his level of mastery in Magick was above Calamity's, his Transformation Magick was also stronger!

The arms were stronger, and his abilities with the Transformation Magick had evolved. The Crazed Angels shrieked in annoying fashion and jumped after him. While quite a few attacked Adam, a few went straight for Nerezza!

With his eight-petaled wings, he defended Nerezza while simultaneously attacking the Crazed Angels.

It felt like he had to fight two battles at the same time!

It was like his wings acted on their own, perfectly countering the Crazed Angels.

With his greatsword in hand, he clashed swords with the Crazed Angels. It was a heated battle with the sparks flying and the ground shaking under them.

At that moment, out of nowhere, another group of Crazed Angels descended upon them. There were around ten of them!

'That's just too much!' Adam thought in a panic, but saw that no one was able to help him either.

Lionel and the rest had to fight about a thousand Crazed Angels, so they had much greater worries than helping him.

"Thousand-Arm Monster of Armageddon, extend!"

Within his back muscles, hundreds of arms shot out-all of them were disfigured and ugly- they headed towards the dozen Crazed Angels and stopped them from reaching Nerezza.

He was now fighting three battles!

With his greatsword, he was fighting three Crazed Angels. His eight-petaled wings were fighting a small group of Crazed Angels. His disfigured arms were fighting around ten other Crazed Angels.

The Crazed Angels effortlessly sliced through the disfigured arms, but more arms sprouted in their place. It was soon two hundred arms.

This strange ability seemed to even take them by surprise. However, they kept slicing and slicing.

At that moment, one of the Crazed Angels dodged the greatsword and stabbed his pale- skinned sword through Adam's thigh.

The blood spewed from the wound, but Adam's eyes turned wild as a small hand sprouted from the wound and sealed the bleeding wound.

"Haaa!" Adam swung his shield and smacked it across the Crazed Angel's face.

Then, another Crazed Angel thrust his sword forward, but Adam manifested another disfigured arm from his stomach and made it grab the pale-skinned sword.

The blade went through the disfigured arm's hand, but it didn't reach Adam.

With his greatsword, he swung it with all his might and slashed towards the Crazed Angel's face to cut it in half, but he managed to pull his head back, and only a small scratch appeared

on his cheek.

The last Crazed Angel jumped over him and appeared behind Adam. However, instead of slashing at him, he slowly sheathed his sword.

As soon as his blade was fully inside the scabbard, hundreds of sword cuts appeared across Adam's body, all gushing with blood!

"Argh!" Adam coughed out blood and saw his health plummet down to dangerously low

levels.

"In the name of Lord Rawkshawn, you shall die." The Crazed Angel said with a crazed grin. 'They can talk after all? Or is this one special one?' Adam gritted his teeth.

The situation looked extremely dire.

Another group of the Crazed Angels were about to break past his eight-petaled wings. The ten-strong group of Crazed Angels had already destroyed about five hundred of his disfigured arms, and they were now destroying them faster than he could create.

It didn't help that his mana ocean was getting depleted at dangerous speeds. However, he had

to keep creating more arms; otherwise, they would reach Nerezza in a matter of seconds and

kill her.

However, while his situation looked bad, it wasn't as bad as the situation with Lionel and the

rest.

Surrounded by a thousand Crazed Angels, Lionel, Oldman, Akuji, and Sepheron were covered in wounds. They were using all of their might to keep the winged creatures away, but to no

avail.

"This is not going to work!" Akuji screamed and kept tossing his knives, but the Crazed Angels had already learned all about Akuji's abilities and knew how to counter every move he

made.

Oldman noticed that the Crazed Angels were evolving. Their movements were becoming more coordinated and strategic.

'It seems that they aren't army just because of their strength. They know how to work

together, and they can evolve to surpass our abilities.

'If this lasts any longer, we'll be overwhelmed and killed.'

"Ice Mortuary!" Sepheron summoned a freezing cold storm and encased around a dozen

Crazed Angels inside.

With the perfect opportunity presented, Lionel jumped towards the frozen Crazed Angels and wanted to slash through them to kill them once and for all.

However, at that moment, a strange thing happened.

Within the block of ice, a fire started to burn, and it was soon so hot that the ice melted away.

Shockingly enough, a few of the Crazed Angels didn't look pale-skinned anymore. They were red-skinned, and they were on fire with crazed grins on their faces!

They had evolved to counter Sepheron's abilities!

"You think fire is enough to stop my ice?" Sepheron's whole body turned to ice, and his frozen

lips slowly moved.

"ICE WORLD!"

Within the depths of his body, the full power of his ice Magick shot out and turned the whole

island into a dead world of ice.

Within the frozen ground under them, a spiraling tower of ice emerged, reaching higher and

higher until it pierced the dark clouds above.

When the tower touched those Crazed Angels, they died right away, and some of them immediately froze due to the extreme cold.

Those with the fire abilities were also unable to stop the freezing cold. Their evolving

abilities hadn't reached Sepheron's yet!

"Whoo!" Sepheron breathed out cold air, and returned back to his human form, but still

feeling the chill on his bones.

The rest of the party members looked fine. The freezing cold wasn't effecting them strangely enough. They were now safe inside the pillar of ice.

"What about Adam?" Oldman asked. "He is still outside."

"This wasn't the end of my attack!" Sepheron crossed his arms in front of his body, and then

the pillar of the ice started cracking.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

"Ice World's Collapse!"

The pillar of ice shattered, but a wave of freezing cold swept throughout the island and killed

about hundred Crazed Angels.

The rest that survived flew high enough in the sky to avoid the freezing cold, but they still

kept grinning and smiling.

Slowly but surely, they started to evolve.

It wasn't just a few of them anymore.

All of them were evolving! Within their bodies, their dead hearts started beating with fire, and their pale skins turned

scarlet-red, like glowing embers.

Their evolution had reached a whole new level!

"Whoo..." Sepheron breathed out cold air.

"They seem to have somehow evolved." Lionel said. "Sepheron, your abilities won't have as

great of an effect as before."

"Yeah, I am aware of that. Luckily, ice isn't all that I have."

Sepheron clenched his right hand into a fist, and a fire slowly began to form around his fingers, contrasting with the cold air that surrounded them. "Those who only have one trick in their book are weak."

The fire wasn't red like the others, but blue, as if it were ice fire.

'They're also struggling, it seems.' Adam thought to himself while struggling to defend

against the Crazed Angels.

The Ice World didn't effect him but worked against the Crazed Angels, and they were slightly injured over it, but not enough for him to kill them instantly.

'I don't know what to do. I am Tank, and my sole duty is to protect her, but I don't know if I

manage to do that!'

He gritted his teeth.
