In the Name of Empress-Chapter 549 - 336: Your Water Blocks Your Ice (Part 4)
The wind rises, flowers fall.
Countless petals adorned Sif’s palms.
The rose thorns pierced her delicate skin.
She knew they were not rose thorns, but another form of sword aura.
Perhaps not very destructive, but remarkably penetrating.
Pain emanated from her palms, almost making her faint, but she didn’t retreat at all.
Sif stomped hard, and the Flower Sea began to tremble.
The delicate flowers where Sofia stepped instantly turned into thorns and vines.
Like branches reaching out from the void, they tightly gripped Sofia’s legs.
This was the first time Sofia was controlled.
Having just summoned the Flaming Phoenix, Lisa revealed an expression of ecstatic joy upon witnessing this scene and released the Flaming Phoenix without hesitation.
This magic could transform the Fire Element into a phoenix, requiring a long charge time, but boasting extreme destructive power.
"Boom!"
The Fire Phoenix flew towards Sofia’s face, forcing her, ensnared by vines, to dodge urgently.
Her waist bent backward ninety degrees, evading this fatal blow.
Alina was not adept at frontal combat; she kept augmenting Roland and the others, secretly causing trouble from behind.
The transparent crystal ball in her hand gradually turned black, a sign of the Power of Destiny being overdrawn.
She too gave it her all.
If they lost, it meant death, so she naturally didn’t mind the backlash of the Power of Destiny.
The only one not taking action was Christine.
She lay quietly within the ice sculpture, but the water at her feet increased more and more.
Watching the lethal strikes coming from all directions, Angelina’s hands trembled with nervousness, her throat dry, yet she could offer no help.
She was indeed worried that Sofia, without defeating Roland in a single move, faced a war of attrition next.
Would Sofia, who had already exhausted so much, really hold out?
Facing the lethal strikes of Roland and the others, Sofia showed no panic; she gently parted her red lips, her voice soft as the whistling cold wind.
"Ice, heed my command!"
She indeed somewhat overestimated herself, unable to slay Roland and the others with sword techniques.
Since the blade didn’t work, then summon the ice.
Her gaze turned to the ice sculpture of Christine.
The ice she summoned was now enveloping the Holy Daughter of Light.
The ice wall shattered, and Christine, maintaining a posture of "death," broke out of the ice, lying straight in the Flower Sea, life or death unknown.
Numerous pieces of ice flew toward Sofia, but the water beneath Christine’s feet didn’t comply and fly away.
That was water, the awakened ice.
Blood seeped from Sofia’s lips as she exhaled a long breath, showing a relaxed expression.
By summoning the ice, she forcibly broke the Soul Blood Link, leaving the Pentagram Array under Roland damaged and incomplete.
She won.
Though not scathingly, without forcibly shattering this damned formation, a win was still a win.
Sofia closed her eyes again.
Before drawing her sword, only the air of determination remained in her voice.
"Roland, I gave you a chance, you let it go yourself."
"Break!"
With a light command, the dazzling sword light cut through the sky, forcing almost everyone to retreat in the glaring white light.
Except for Roland’s five-member group.
Sif spread her arms, and a Magic Mirror appeared out of thin air, reflecting the white light.
Sofia’s body shuddered, and she abruptly opened her eyes, confusion appearing for the first time in her gaze.
This sword, if slashed down, could split even a small mountain.
Such an indestructible force, why couldn’t it kill the disarrayed Roland?
She felt a sense of powerlessness, desperately staring at Roland, unable to help asking: "Why can’t you be killed even when the array breaks, who exactly are you?"
"Who I am is unimportant, I couldn’t withstand the broken array, but you haven’t broken it."
Roland clapped his hands and moved aside.
Sif and Alina also moved aside.
In a seemingly insignificant corner of the Flower Sea, where the ice sculpture was placed just now, at the Water Attribute array eye of the Soul Blood Pentagram Array, the "corpse" lying on the ground slowly sat up and opened its eyes.
A milky white light enveloped the whole body, the wounds on the Saintess’s face and chest were fully restored, yet the Holy Mark radiated a dazzling brilliance.
"Sofia, it’s precisely your Water Element that prevented you from breaking the array."
Christine raised her arms, and Holy Water poured forth from her palms, flowing continuously.
Her face, as holy as if she were an Angel.
