Volume 1 Chapter 394

Chapter 394: Elite Level… Right?

As the three assassins moved, Lolth almost simultaneously tore the scroll!

Level 8 Magic: Absolute Ice Seal.

The strongest of the three assassins was an epic-level user of the Hidden Aura skill, while the other two were also Superlative Level high-ranking.

So Lolth didn’t hold back and inscribed a level eight spell on the "temporary scroll."

The actions of the epic-level assassin were very fast, but compared to the speed of Lolth’s carefully chosen magic…

It was still too slow!

Especially after spending time with Isabella and encountering the frost magic used by Fighters, Lolth gained a deeper understanding of ice spells among elemental magic.

The ice magic exploded in the air, and clusters of ice crystals appeared on the path of the three assassins, locking onto their magical energy and spreading, touching the surface of their bodies.

At first, there was only a little contact on the wrist, forearm, and chest.

But then…

"Whoosh!"

The ice crystals had already spread over the entire body of the epic-level assassin within the brief moment he had only moved a few centimeters!

"Crack!"

The magic formed solid ice that covered his body, causing the three assassins’ movements to freeze and slow down!

But it wasn’t over!

The ice crystals stretched down to the ground, quickly trapping the three assassins in place, forming three pillars of ice that sealed them.

Their fierce expressions had not yet turned to shock, but were completely frozen in the pillars of ice.

This is Level 8 Magic: Absolute Ice Seal!

One of the strongest secret weapons that water element mages can master.

The name "Absolute Ice Seal" already reveals the intention of the mage who created this spell.

No one can escape this magic’s freeze.

Although this may be an exaggeration, it is clear… at least it is still epic!

But when the magic was completed, Lolth saw that it was not herself who had acted.

In the last moment, Ling, who had been lying in bed, appeared on the other side of the curtain faster than the three assassins.

The sheer curtain was gently lifted, and the weapon wrapped in white cloth lay across the frozen epic assassin.

Clearly, if it weren’t for Lolth’s "magic scroll" holding the three of them in place, they would have crashed into Ling’s weapon on their own.

Even Lolth couldn’t see when or where Ling appeared!

The girl’s movements were even faster than the absolute freezing magic.

It’s just that she was waiting for the other side to crash into her weapon, which allowed Lolth’s magic to finish.

Lolth had no doubt that if Ling had chosen to strike first, the three assassins would likely be frozen on the ground.

The two people looked at each other and did not speak.

Just now, an epic pair of assassins with two superlative levels appeared in this room.

Then, the elite level warrior woman used an eighth-level spell to trap them.

The speed of the elite level ranger was more than twice as fast as the three assassins.

But perhaps there had already been enough of this kind of scene today, and it was too intense…

Lolth and Ling had even stopped feeling awkward.

"It’s a magic scroll."

Lolth explained to Ling.

After saying this, she calmly waved the tattered cloth in her hand, which still had traces of magic.

Isn’t it reasonable for her, an Elite Level warrior mercenary, to carry a magic scroll for protection?

Just like many spellcasters carry defensive magic devices close to them, having a magic scroll for ranged attacks is perfectly fine!

Also, the fact that an eighth-level scroll can be used whenever is understandable.

The opponent is epic-level!

As an Elite Level on her own, what else can she do but use her trump card in this situation?

No matter how precious the scroll is, it isn’t worth more than her life!

The only question is how she got the eighth-level magic scroll…

She can just say she picked it up during her adventure!

Although it’s a bit far-fetched, this world doesn’t have surveillance cameras, so who would know?

Ling clearly realized that although Lolth’s reason was far-fetched, she had no way out.

"I know."

She nodded and thought for a moment about how to fix things.

Then, Ling gave up.

She looked at the three assassins frozen in place and started to think.

"It seems they came for me."

After a while, looking at how the three were frozen in mid-air, she reached this conclusion.

After all, they all charged towards Ling’s side.

The others came through the window from Lolth’s side, which means they completely ignored Lolth and went straight for Ling.

This goal is very clear at first glance.

Lolth certainly realized this as well.

She looked closely at the three assassins’ outfits, weapons, and stances, thinking even more.

The black cloaks had no symbols, covering the three people completely.

The dagger in hand, although it had magical energy, was also very ordinary, the most common type in the United Kingdom of South Sotua.

Just looking at their attacking stance gives no clues.

"Do you have enemies in this country?"

Lolth decided to ask Ling, the person involved.

When Ling heard Lolth’s question, she gently shook her head.

"Can’t think of it."

She answered like this, bending down and gently squeezing through the curtain with her weapon in hand.

At this moment, the girl was only wearing loose white shorts that barely covered her bottom and a wrap around her chest.

Her dark hair fell down, resting on her shoulders, smooth and shiny.

The wrap pushed her not-so-prominent chest into some noticeable curves, but it was still within a delicate range.

Lolth remembered what the girl had said earlier about not being the type to sleep completely undressed.

Now she really wanted to comment.

This was so much more tempting than being completely undressed.

With a mix of confidence and a hint of awkwardness, along with those faint scars, it was hard for Lolth not to feel a bit restless in the dim room, turned away from the moonlight.

But it is not the time for feelings; Lolth knows this very well.

"Hmm… If the United Kingdom of South Sotua has no enemies, then who would be so angry with you that they could follow you all the way here?"

Lolth continued to ask.

Ling stood still, three ice pillars away from Lolth, and shook her head slightly again.

"It’s not that there are no enemies; what I mean is…"

"There are so many people who want me dead, I don’t even know who sent them."

"And besides South Sotua, there are many others willing to cross the whole continent to kill me."

As Ling said this, she looked at Lolth.

"So, if you ask me, I don’t know the answer—I suggest you join me and ask them."
