The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 64: Raiding an E+ Rank Dungeon Part 11

An Ice Dread Queen with lava element as her Gift.

From that alone, everyone could already smell that trouble is coming their way.

"Everyone, retreat!" Victor didn't hesitate to order a retreat to all melee combatants.

Even without the need for Victor to tell them what to do, all melee combatants were already slowly retreating away as the cracks on the ground continued to expand. So, as soon as they heard his command, they instantly quicken the phase of their retreat.

As if the Ice Dread Queen was playing a trick against the Black Panda team, the cracks on the ground actually started chasing after them. And the longer the crack goes, the wider the hole in its wake became.

Because of that, it could be expected already that it's going to be very difficult from now on to reach the Ice Dread Queen.

Fortunately, the Mages could still launch their attacks despite the current situation. As a matter of fact, they still continuously sent one Magic spell after the other toward the Ice Dread Queen. Albeit this time they are using elements that counter the fire element. For instance, water element and ice element. That's because they are hoping to lessen the heat around them.

Eventually, the cracking of the ground finally came to a stop after extending for dozens of meters away from the center.

"Let's hold here!" Victor signaled everyone to stop retreating. It was the cracking of the ground that they were trying to get away as far as possible just now. But since it already came to a stop, going any farther behind them might make them miss an opportunity to counterattack.

Over the distance, everyone could see quite obviously the changes that happened to the Ice Dread Queen.

At the moment, the light blue color around the Ice Dread Queen's body has now been mixed with some tinge of redness. And it wasn't just any ordinary red, it was like a lava kind of red and it also moves like it is molten lava that is continuously flowing all over her body.

Moreover, around her, the surroundings would distort occasionally, evidently showing that it's very hot nearby her.

As of now, the word 'Ice' in the name Ice Dread Queen could also be called 'Molten Ice', which basically translates to ice that is liquefied by heat to the point that it turns into molten lava.

Everyone from the Black Panda team can't dare to imagine just how hot the heat would be like if it wasn't for the fact that they are in a freezing cold environment right now.

They are already sweating hard despite how cold it is around them. In addition to that, the snow has already started to melt.

"I can't help but wish that it was still freezing right now," Alex muttered. At least with the cold, their body won't get tired that easily. In the case of the heat, their body would start sweating, thus they would get dehydrated.

Everyone felt the same as they started looking for the comfort provided by the freezing feeling back then.

"Forget about that and focus on the boss!" Victor interrupted everyone's thoughts as he noticed the Ice Dread Queen starting to make a move.

The Ice Dread Queen started waving her hand as if she was dancing. Albeit she clearly wasn't as mana was beginning to gather in her hands. At the same time, the magma down under the cracks was beginning to rise and spew out of the ground to turn into molten lava.

All of a sudden, the Ice Dread Queen stopped moving her hand. With a turn of her head, she stared at Victor directly. Slowly, her lips turn into a smile.

In the next moment, powerful mana with the fire element erupted from the Ice Dread Queen's hands straight toward the direction of the Black Panda team.

Along with the mana was the molten lava from the ground turning into something akin to a wave as it threaten to crash into the Black Panda team's location.

It was a Molten Lava Wave.

Seeing this, Alice immediately started conjuring a barrier in front of everyone along with the other Mages in order to block the incoming danger.

Since there is a considerable distance in between the Black Panda team and the Ice Dread Queen due to the former retreating a while ago, Alice and the other Mages had enough time to finish with the barrier.

The moment the barrier was erected, the Molten Lava Wave came crashing down toward it.

Cracks started to form around the barrier. But it was quickly being restored as Alice, Diana, and the rest of the Mages continuously infused mana to it to prevent it from getting destroyed.

That Molten Lava Wave lasted for a considerable amount of time before coming to a stop. However, that wasn't the end.please visit

The moment the Molten Lava Wave settled down, everyone immediately spotted over the distance the Ice Dread Queen preparing to cast another Magic spell.

"This is bad!" Victor was alarmed. But then he quickly noticed Echo sneaking behind the Ice Dread Queen. Without wasting any time, he signaled for Alice and the Mages to try their best to cooperate with Echo. But to his surprise, they seemed to already know about that. Then he abruptly remembered that Kayn is with them, so it must be him that had informed them about Echo's whereabouts.

That's right! Kayn already noticed Echo's action way back when the Ice Dread Queen was still casting the Molten Lava Wave. He quickly informed Alice and Daina about it so that they can cooperate with Echo and would not accidentally interrupt whatever he is planning on doing.

Echo sneakily made his way behind the Ice Dread Queen. Because of his skill in being an assassin plus his years of training, she didn't notice his arrival.

Without wasting any time, Echo threw one of his daggers straight to the hand with the blue ring on the ring finger as he realized that it is what the Ice Dread Queen used as a medium whenever she try to cast a Magic spell.

As soon as the dagger left Echo's hand, Kayn immediately notices a small chain attached to its end.

He instantly understood that Echo's weapon is called a Long Distance Dagger or also more commonly known as Kyoketsu-shoge.

Kyoketsu-shogen is a weapon that a lot of assassins prefer to use due to the fact that it allows them to throw a dagger and retrieve it afterward in a quick motion and without the need for Magic, and at the same time use the chain to defend or entrap their target. Aside from that, it can also be used for maneuvering, especially in environments that require climbing.

However, only a few really talented individuals are able to truly master how to use a Kyoketsu-shoge and thus be able to use it properly. That's because it's very complicated to use it as it is a weapon that is a combination of dagger, whip, and rope.

Fortunately, Echo seems to be one of the individuals that have mastered how to use a Kyoketsu-shoge.

Upon leaving Echo's hand, the dagger hit the target quite precisely and accurately, causing the ring to get damaged and the Ice Dread Queen's casting to get interrupted.

Instantly, the Ice Dread Queen found out about Echo's presence behind her. But as soon as she turns around to find him, she was immediately greeted by another dagger that aims to hit her eyes.

The Ice Dread Queen swiftly uses her left hand to block the incoming dagger. Sadly, the dagger still hurt her as it impaled itself into her left hand.

Unbeknownst to the Ice Dread Queen, that was exactly what Echo aimed to achieve.

The moment that both daggers were attached to the Ice Dread Queen, Echo immediately uses them to propel himself toward her.

Bang!

The Ice Dread Queen soon received a kick to her face, causing her to retreat a few steps.

That must have hurt a lot as her nose started bleeding green-colored blood.

After kicking the face of the Ice Dread Queen, Echo quickly pulled with his left arm to retrieve the dagger that had impaled the Ice Dread Queen's left hand. In one smooth motion, he twisted his body around while in mid-air, which in turn made the dagger swing in a circle and soon it hit the face of the Ice Dread Queen.

The Ice Dread Queen instantly screamed in pain as she notices a dagger that impaled her face.

However, that wasn't the end yet.

After a brief moment, Echo pulled with his right arm and simultaneously made another twist of his body in mid-air. The momentum of his twist causes the dagger to make a circle and soon it landed straight into the shoulder of the Ice Dread Queen.

Just like the last time, Echo immediately propels himself forward and kicked the face of the Ice Dread Queen. The kick sent him mid-air again, thus giving him another opportunity to launch another assault using his daggers.

Echo repeated the way he attacks the Ice Dread Queen over and over again while targeting different parts of her body. But the majority of those attacks were actually nothing more than a distraction to mask his real target, to attack her head.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Looking from afar, one can't help mistaking Echo's performance as a dance. That's because he is literally dancing in mid-air. He propels himself forward, pulls his arms, twists his body, kicks with his feet, and repeats it once again, albeit in a different location from before. Those kinds of moves are something that can be seen in someone who is dancing.
