CHAPTER 439: CHAPTER 204: TEARING THROUGH THE NIGHTMARE! (FIRST UPDATE, ASKING FOR MONTHLY TICKETS)

In fact, Ronan had the idea of reforming the Frozen Soil] Flow Magic Attributes system long before.

The core of the Frozen Soil] Flow Magic Attributes system is the Ice Cold Domain formed around different Ice Magic as anchor points, a concept of transforming "points into a surface" that grants it an overpowering ability beyond ordinary Magic Attributes systems.

However, when compared to true top-tier inheritances, the shortcoming of Frozen Soil] Flow’s instant burst of power becomes glaringly apparent.

The Lansite Family, famed for their "Ice Flame Iris," was clearly aware of this issue too, as both the Frozen Soil] Seal and the [Ice Flame] Seal subsequent to it were meant to address this shortfall.

While [Frozen Tundra Soil] and [Ice Flame] did have an effect, they were not completely able to close the gap. Or rather, the gap might have already been bridged, as an Ice Cold Domain enhanced with [Ice Flame] Seal might well compete against those top-tier Magic Schools if they were at the same level.

But this condition of "at the same level" seems difficult to meet for Ronan.

Those who truly qualify as Ronan’s opponents are often geniuses a full rank higher than him, or even several ranks higher.

Hence, during the three years in the Ascetic Tower of the Silver Magic Ring, Ronan has been contemplating how to enhance the instantaneous burst of the Frozen Soil] Flow Magic Attributes system.

Just like the approach with [Pure Body], Ronan thought of compressing the Domain.

Gather the dispersed forces within the Domain, solidify the fine Ice Crystals into spears, pile up the scattered snowflakes into mountains, and collect the free-flowing cold currents into seas...

Release it in one breath and directly pierce, crush, and grind those who dare to stand against the cold.

Just like the [Pure Body]’s "giant demonization" form, the more thoroughly the Domain power is compressed, the more formidable the burst of power in an instant!

Thus was born this technique—[Hand Snow Country]!

However, casting this spell requires a high level of control over magic from the Spellcasters.

In the battle with Skull Mourning Bell Maphalin, Ronan tried it, combined with the Metal Attribute [Shattering Silver], and achieved quite a satisfactory effect in controlling the field.

But it was still far from what he had envisioned.

Only after Ronan’s breakthrough to Level 3 Wizard, with a substantial increase in spiritual power and soul power, did he truly realize this technique—[Ronan Damien’s.. Hand Snow Country]!

...

A dazzling deep blue Light Ball pressed down, and numerous intense light streams surged and overflowed between Ronan’s fingers.

The small Void where he stood was entirely frozen by the ultimate chill, washing up mysterious patterns like blue ice flowers.

Andriel’s two enormous green bone hands, under the onslaught of the intense cold light streams, were frozen in a trying-to-close pose, and then...shattered with a roar.

The Domain Field belonging to Andriel began to tremble.

The vast sea of Energy Particles of the Undead Series, the huge green vortex, shook, wobbled, and shattered under [Snow Country]...eventually collapsing.

Looking up at Ronan, the arrogance on Andriel’s face was gone, replaced for the first time with a look of stunned astonishment.

The dark green seaweed-like hair scattered behind him flared up in an instant as Andriel’s expression turned ferocious; he spread his arms wide, and beneath his Magic Robe, two bone-made Arm Bracelets trembled, emitting bursts of strong magic fluctuations.

Following that, numerous complex and mysterious green runes lit up on his arms, neck, and pale handsome cheeks.

In a flash, the shattered Field reassembled itself, and over a dozen giant skull heads surrounding Andriel clashed together with a bang, forming a massive skull dish, spinning wildly as it rose to the sky, resolutely holding against the continuously pressing deep blue Light Ball.

"Crack, crack, crack—"

The splendid deep blue Light Ball collided with the bone dish, emitting a grating sound of friction and cracking, and numerous deep blue and dark green light streams seeped out from the clashing point of the two spells, creating a dreadful energy tidal wave in the Void, wave after wave spreading outwards.

The terrifying aftershocks of energy forced the gathered Wizards to retreat again and again, faces revealing expressions of shocked disbelief, almost unable to trust their own eyes, and even neglecting the lit Stone Pillar, overlooking the Ancient City’s protective field that was rapidly retracting behind them.

At this moment, the same thought spiraled crazily in many onlookers’ minds: Who exactly is this person? How can he... force Andriel to such a state?!

Upon the illuminated Stone Pillar, those genius competitors already seated were casting attentive glances this way.

This was the final battle before the end of the first round of the competition, and by far the fiercest and most dazzling battle up to this point.

Many were surprised to find such a remarkably gifted newcomer hidden in an unassuming corner, capable of standing up to Andriel, the foremost Inheritor of the Ghost Poison Mask.

Enveloped in Titanium, Ronan’s eyes burned like demon fire, but his mindset was as calm as an Ice Lake.

[Hand Snow Country] was still not perfect, and is currently only in a "rudimentary" stage.

He could keenly feel the terrifying energy that could rampage at any moment within the Light Ball, those chaotic and discordant Magic Domain auras.

His current sensation was like holding an extremely unstable nuclear bomb of Ice Frost that could explode outward at any moment...oh no, to be more precise, it has already been exploding outward!

In Ronan’s vision, the real [Hand Snow Country] should be transformed into a stable Crystal Ball of spells in his hands, the Frost Power concentrating to a single point, overlapping Magic Domains blending with each other, smooth and fitting...

He had indeed accomplished the first step, achieving a relatively ultimate compression of the Ice Cold Domain, the core of the Frozen Soil] Flow, but it was merely a "brute force" gathering of all the forces within the Domain into a sphere.
