Chapter 136: Seraphina Everglow

Most of Lucas's bone was crushed by the force of the attack.

If had not activated his movement art, Lucas would die on the spot.

His lone eyes glance straight ahead, In the distance of the S-rank dungeon gate.

The gate still stood unfaceted by all the commotion going on this side.

Soon monster crawls out of the gate, and then another monster follows behind him.

'Looks Like I will die this time for sure...'

As monster continue to appears one after other, Lucas loose all hope to staying alive.

Some monsters follow Titan, heading to the Silva City. While who were left behind desicded to make Lucas there Lunch.

With Bloodlust in their eyes, They ran forward with surprising agility and then jumped, twisting their bodies into tight spheres.

'Damn..' Lucas thought he was going to die and closed his eye for upcoming pain.

But pain did not come.

Lucas opened his lone eye again and could not believe what he saw.

The monster who was about chop of his neck was frozen in air...

Behind that monster other Beasts we're frozen as well.

They were covered in thik layer of Ice, completely frozen by Ice.

-Crack!

-Shaterd!

Next moment, there was crack on Ice and it shattered in millions of tiny pieces, killing the monster inside of it.

Same goes for other who were frozen as well.

'What the hell?'

"So, you are Lucas Darkheart." Next moment, Lucas heard alluring, charming voice. Even in this heavy rainstorm he could hear the voice clearly.

Lucas tried turn his head to right side but that was impossible for him right now.

"Don't move."

Seeing the struggles of Lucas, the voice spoke again, this time much closer then before.

Lucas stopped at once.

"Who-" Lucas could not said anything as some strange liquid force down to his throat.

"Don't worry, it's Perfect rank [Healing Potion]."

Hearing the name of Healing Potion Lucas drank greedy, He doesn't care what type of rank potion is.

He just want to survive.

Instantly, there was a change.

A furious flood of power rushed into his broken body, repairing it. His eardrums were restored, his other liquified eyes slowly started to coalesce back into solid shape. His fractured bones assembled themselves from hundreds of small fragments.

The severed sections of his spinal cord connected back together.

"Argh! Crap!"

The pain was back, sending him into a violent convulsion. Lucas bit his tongue hard enough to feel the salty taste of blood, but a moment later, that wound, too, was healed. The agony of it all was nothing short of exquisite.

"C-curse it!"

...But it was all good. Pain was good. Pain meant that he was alive, or at least coming back to live. It was its absence that was frightening.

A Perfect rank [Healing Potion] was enough to bring his body back from being utterly devastated, but the process was not instantaneous. Lucas had no choice but to endure, and wait.

He was no stranger to agony, anyway.

At some point, he regained his vision. Rising his head weakly, Lucas looked at himself through the veil of tears.

-Swish!

-Swish!

Lucas slowly turned his head forward at sound of air cutting.

The trees were frozen like a statue and came to standstill.

The entire area where the monsters were rampaging was frozen and at the centre of the chilled ground, a huge black great sword was present that was emitting a chilling breeze that can freeze anyone with a simple touch.

The entire ground had been covered with a layer of ice.

As Lucas eyes focused on the huge black sword, a figure appeared out of thin air her steps landed on the hilt softly and the figure stood on the hilt of the huge sword.

On top of the huge black greatsword , the figure that appeared wore a white dress, the figure wore a breastplate and a knight armour on top that was unable to cover her body curves.

Her Silver-White hair was tied in a bun while the remaining part of her hair fell above her shoulder.

The woman was Seraphina Everglow, the Head of the Student Council.

'But why is she here? Shouldn't she-' Lucas stopped all his useless thoughts.

What matter now is that because of her that he is alive, that's all.

If she did not come at time, Lucas would been dead.

Seraphina jumped and landed on the ground and held the hilt of the sword and pulled it out of the ground.

The frozen ground rumbled and cracked.

A whitish aura burst forth from her body and a huge pressure emitted from her and the sword started to glow emitting a faint white glow.

Even though the height of the sword was greater than her, she dragged the sword as if it was just a light piece of metal and raised the sword in the air and slashed.

Bang...

With a simple horizontal swing of the sword, an arc of white glow burst forth and tore apart the air colliding with the frozen monsters.

The monsters which had been frozen by her ice ability shattered like glass.

"Whoaaaaa!!!!"

Lucas felt his jaw hit the ground as he watch her continue to kill the monsters.

Forgoting about all the pain Lucas feeling, he just simply stairs at her.

'She is strong, very strong.'

Well that's shouldn't be qution since she Head of the Student Council and the strongest cadet in Nova Acadmy.

Sh is only 19 and is already at [C+] rank and by her graduation she will be at [B-] rank.

She froze the monsters running amok with her ice ability and then slashed with her sword breaking them into millions of tiny particles of ice that fall on the ground like snowfall.

Sarphina looked around and noticed a huge number of monster gathering around her.

The monster tried to take advantage in number and shot a huge number of claws toward her but before they could reach her, they stopped before her and were crystallized by her ice ability.

Anything that was near her was immediately frozen, even the havay rain become frozen

the surrounding temperature around her had already gone down below the minus.

She looked like a Goddess of Ice whose command was absolute and no one to deny her authority.

Sarphina didn't give any leeway or chance for them to escape and tapped on his feet.

The ground started to shake and huge walls of ice rose and covered the entire plains, blocking the pathway of the monster to disperse.

Frost appeared to cover the entire sight, the walls of ice form a dome-shaped arch trapping all the monster in the vicinity.

"Now Die." She muttered to herself as very cold expression settled on her beautiful face.

Inside of ice shaped domain, a sharp crystal of ice dagger appears, the number of dagger soon went up to hundred.

-Ghhh!

-Grrrrr!

-Groelll!

Agony of monster could be heard outside of Ice shaped domain as ice dagger kill every monster inside.

For moment, everything seems to in control but Lucas knew that battle was far from over...

She already killed many monster since she come here but number keep increasing as monsters crawl out of S-rank doungen get.

Seeing the upcoming monsters, Sarphina closed her eyes for moment and whitish-blue hue elope her body.

A moment later she opened her eyes. Her eyes were glowing in light blue colour.

"Ice Magic:- Ice Spike."

Soon spike of Ice appears on the air, the high of spike 3 meters. The spikes were very sturdy by the looks of it.

And there was at least hundreds spikes, and the target is the monster that are coming out of doungen gate.

"What the hell?" Lucas flinched back as he watched Sarphina using this much mana.

With simply gustrue of her hand, all Ice spike shot forward at monster in blink of eye.

Ice spike tore apart monsters in half, this little mass or continue for minutes.

Soon there is only dead body of monster on dozen ground.

All the monster are dead and not any other monster are appearing out of doungen gate...For now.

Sarphina turned her head back at Lucas, who appears to be completely awe by her power.

She taped her feet and skidded using her ice ability through the place.

Once she appeared near the Lucas, She gazed at him. Her icey blue eyes meet his amber green.

For moment, Lucas caught his breath in his lungs as he stairs at her beautiful face by this close.

"Say, are you the Lucas Darkheart?" Lucas Sannepd back realty as he hear Sarphina voice.

"Ah, Ummm...I guess I'm, But wait minute how do you know my name ?"

Lucas didn't think that someone like Seraphina Everglowt who is Head of the Student Council knows him.

"Well I did hear somethings about you, from professors." Sarphina replied camly to Lucas.

"Anyway, let's get out of here before more monster comes out." Saying so Sarphina crouch down and take Lucas in her hand.

Lucas was in Princess carry position!!!

'What the hell? Shouldn't be this role fit do men? When did woman started to use this move?'
