Sam is currently standing in the center of the training hall with the four ice elves surrounding him. The queen and the elder are standing far away with nervous expressions.
They agreed to Sam’s bet. Because they got greedy.
Due to the unfavorable conditions of the planet, they couldn’t mine the stones as they want. Even the ice elves who have high ice elemental affinity amongst the ice elemental creatures couldn’t sustain the atmosphere and the environmental changes in this realm.
The basic resource which is the spirit stone cannot be found here easily. The very small quantity of the spirit stones they have circulating in the market are ice elemental spirit stones and even they are not exactly sufficient for their own use much less giving them to others.
As for the foreign trades, the realms that are connected to the Tundra realm are very few and the races that connected to this realm and managed to establish a trade decided to take full advantage of the realm.
Nobody wants to come here voluntarily and the creatures here cannot find a more suitable place than this, in the surroundings to move their race. If any of them came out as the large group, they might even be caught and used as slaves. After all, they are all mutants. This realm is their only way to compulsorily ensure their survival even if they cannot develop. It is hard for civilization to not think of development and not strive for it.
They need spirit stones for that. As much as they can find the resources such as frost essence easily in this place along with other things that could aid the cultivation, not having spirit stones is still a disadvantage. But the trade relations they have only have one goal, exploit the creatures with exorbitant prices and get everything for cheap from them.
And as soon as they saw someone as easygoing as Sam who didn’t care about his money, they became a bit greedy and reached more than they should have. Now they are nervous that by any chance if Sam wins, they would be in trouble.
Sam activated fire elemental fusion instantly. Since the environment is against him, it is better to go all out, if he just played around for some time and got injured, since he decided not to use other elements, he would be paying some price.
Seeing that Sam used the fusion from the ice elves also have no reason for holding back. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet
They all stomped on the floor and ice walls appeared in front of them.
Clear ice walls that looked like glass created a cage around Sam.
He felt like he was locked inside a mirror cage as he could see the four elves but on sixteen walls. He was suddenly reminded of the anime back on the earth. Naruto. The protagonist was also surrounded by such a deceptive mirror cage, but the opponent was only one person.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSam became vigilant and used energy vision to take a look. To his surprise, he couldn’t find the real ice elves in the images, and in that moment, the ice arrows started coming towards him.
Sam created a wall of fire around him which clashed with the arrows and melted them down.
He kept on increasing the heat and it is clearly visible that his immediate surroundings are completely free of frost and ice.
"You are good. Now let us get serious, shall we? We would like to finish this in a single attack."
A voice resounded in the cage and Sam could feel the cold increasing within the boundary.
The firewall he created around himself started dimming down and Sam kept on injecting the energy to burn fiercely, but it was to no avail.
The insides of the cage turned into a blizzard and Sam could feel the small ice fragments that are hitting him.
He stood his ground and tried to vaporize everything that came at him. But the blizzard kept on increasing in both the turbulence and density.
Soon the small ice pieces started turning sharp as they moved along.
Sam understood that it would be hard to resist something like this with sheer energy and gathered all of it to create a dense and smaller shield around him which gave him better protection, he abandoned the thoughts of attacking for a moment and decided to stay in a defensive position.
The sharp and thin ice pieces suddenly halted in mid-air and all turned towards Sam.
All the images in the mirror started aiming their arrows at Sam as the four-voice were heard simultaneously.
"Myriad Arrow-Ice Coffin."
As they all let go of the string, the arrows shot towards Sam from the mirror, and before Sam could react, all the arrows shot forward.
They didn’t necessarily aim at him, they even hit the ground surrounding him.
But everywhere they hit, they dispersed into some ice particles and created a lump of ice in that spot.
The ice is so transparent and full of ice elemental energy so dense that it almost resembled frozen frost essence.
As the myriad of arrows and sharp ice spikes landed around and on Sam, they started creating ice all over him and within an instant, he was completely covered in ice.
The four elves undid the ice wall cage and stood around the large block of ice in which Sam is currently frozen in his fire elemental fusion form.
"If he only he doesn’t have that background, I would have just let him be like that for a few weeks and save them later. He would know not to underestimate ice elves."
One of the four-spoke as he tapped the large block of ice which is in the shape of an octagonal prism with a golden wisp of flame frozen inside.
But as soon as they touched the prism, they felt that something is wrong with that and when he closed in to take a look, he could see the golden flame in the middle spinning rapidly.
The spinning is anti-clockwise and as it moved upwards and another stream of flames is spinning clockwise as it moved downwards.
Before he knew it he could see the center turning into a pool of water and then vapor which tried to escape the cold ice prism.
As the golden flame spread, the four elves looked astonished and moved to their initial positions as they rebuilt the ice wall cage.
But by then, the prism is already done for and Sam was released. The two streams of fire are moving more and more as they started attacking the ice wall cage which started melting slowly. The arrows of the four elves couldn’t even go past those golden flames and the ice elves were pushed back.
Sam appeared in the middle of the firestorm which soon enveloped the whole training hall and even the Queen and the elder was stunned.
They had to use their energies to block themselves from the heatwave coming from the flames.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSam manipulated the flames as it took the form of a bunch of large moving serpents and started attacking the four elves.
The four elves whose defensive measures seemed futile and the energies not sufficient to create another large-scale attack found some solace in group attacks and they moved towards each other and four of them stood together.
But what they don’t know is Sam made them feel like their group attacks are worthwhile and are working on him.
In actual fact, he just wants them to be grouped together so that he can finish them off in one proper blow.
The flaming serpents suddenly stopped moving and the next instant rapidly moved backward. The whole training hall which is surrounded by the golden glow of the flames suddenly became empty. Except for the molten marks on the pillars and walls, there is no sign of the flames’ presence there. Of course, Sam’s presence should be considered too.
Sam inhaled deeply and at this moment, his lungs expanded to maximum. The elves knew that shit hit the fan, so they immediately joined hands and created a large Ice bow as they poured all the energy which exhausted their tanks completely into one arrow. Two elves carried the bow horizontally as they knelt on the floor, one elf aligned the arrow and assisted the shooter. The last one pulled the string to his maximum effort.
The ice energy was concentrated at the tip of the arrow as they released it.
It rampaged throughout the way, destroying the training floor, and shot towards Sam.
Sam also released the flames from his lungs through his mouth. It took the form of the golden sun crow followed by a large streak of flames and met the arrow in the middle.
But the clash turned out to be futile as the arrow became nothing but a vapor and the crow led the flames towards the elves.
The elves felt like they were being sucked into despair as they saw the flames come towards him.
Just when they lost all hope of survival, the Queen and the Elder made a move and stood in front of them creating a large ice shield that diverted the direction of flames.
The golden flames shot through the walls of the training hall and destroyed the whole front side of the building alerting all the residents of the estate and even the city.
Sam withdrew his fusion and stood there as he sighed.
"I am sorry, I guess I went overboard."
Queen and the elder felt their hands tremble a bit. At least the Queen was just shocked by the power, but the Elder knew she wouldn’t be able to take it.
She could feel what would have happened if she defended the attack alone and Sam’s nonchalant apology at the end as if it was normal made her want to get out of the scene right away and hole up in a dark room.
