Chapter 196: Direct Action
James smiled broadly as he saw the building in front of him, which had already begun to be constructed. What he was looking at was the palace under construction, or rather it looked like the construction of the church on this floor.
"MASTER!"
James suddenly heard the shout from behind him and turned round to see Sophia flying at him at full speed.
"SLAP!"
Sophia seemed to be crying as she slapped James across the face, and James realised that his face was getting wet.
After somehow separating Sophia from his face, he wiped his face with a cloth he had taken out of his inventory and then asked, 'What happened?'
Sophia spoke with a crying face:
"I'M JUWST HAPPY DAT YOU ARE ALIVE!"
The fact that Sophia was crying and shouting at the same time made it difficult to understand her, but James realised what had happened.
"So, dying is not in my plans Sophia," James said and with that, he realised that his body was shaking. Something was making his blood boil.
"DING-TING-DING!!!"
Suddenly the sound of bells echoed from the far side of the village and someone's shout rose into the sky:
"LOOK OUT, THE ICE DRAGON IS COMING!!!"
James shook his head as soon as he heard these words and said "Oh fuck off mate!" and started running towards the walls of the village.
Just over an hour after waking up, James was in a situation where he had to fight. His body was still quite sore, but strangely he was moving more freely than he had been before he passed out.
He couldn't understand what was going on for a few seconds and then realised that Sophia's hair was glowing with a dim light as she clung tightly to his shoulder.
"Sophia what are you doing?!" James shouted as he ran from one side and back "I'm speeding you up! I'm Pixie, I use air, remember?!" came the reply.
However, even though James had suddenly activated his dark step ability and was going to waste magical energy for nothing, he still tried to test his speed.
Although his Agility stat was the same, his current speed had indeed increased to a gigantic size. With each step, he almost passed five or even six houses.
After only a minute of help, he managed to reach the walls of the village and then saw the chaos outside.
He could see an azure blue dragon standing on the earth. Next to the dragon stood dozens of yetis and hundreds of ice goblins.
James suddenly reached into his inventory and pulled out the holy sword Clarent.
He could easily see elves and dwarves trying to flee. Half-demons seemed to be trying to fight. He could see his daughter, Miracle, in human form, digging her claws into the ice goblins and Ariel trying to kill the ice dragon with all her might.
James suddenly stopped where he was and closed his eyes. The elves and dwarves running past him and entering the village were admiring him.
This was because the aura and magic around James was going crazy. He was still unable to fully hold the aura and magic that he was entangled in his body. Every second he was releasing time element, fire element and poison element.
Nevertheless, the aura and magic he was spinning around in his body were incalculable.
The aura and magic overflowing out every second was increasing, and even this seemed to understand how great power James was playing with.
It was at that moment that Ariel realised the huge amount of energy behind her, the last time she had felt it was during that strange attack James had made on the 24th floor.
At that moment, Ariel stopped fighting the ice dragon and started running to the left. The half-demons who were still fighting were trying to figure out why Ariel would do such a thing when they heard her voice:
"EVERYONE GO BACK!!! COME NEAR ME!!!" shouted Ariel.
With this shout, every half-demon remaining in the area moved as far away from James as possible.
James opened his eyes at that moment. The aura swirling around his body was so gigantic that flames were rising from his eyes.
The holy sword Clarent was perfectly heavy due to the huge amount of magic and aura contained in it.
The air element Sophia was using to support James was literally helping James lift the Clarent holy sword, which had become heavy.
James gritted his teeth and despite all the weight, the holy sword stabbed Clarent forward six times in a row and pierced the air itself.
"THWIP!!!"
"THWIP!!!"
"THWIP!!!"
"THWIP!!!"
"THWIP!!!"
"THWIP!!!"
Six different changes in the air in succession produced the same degree of sound and tore the air itself, showing how well James' power and control over his swordplay had increased.
As the Hexagon mark formed in the air, the mark formed a lush green beam and began travelling straight towards the dragon.
Just in one split second the green beam from the hexagon hit the dragon.
A huge plume of green smoke billowed out and Ariel, noticing this, ordered everyone to run towards the village.
"GROHGK!!!"
One by one, the yetis began to collapse. The sound of their massive organs exploding echoed across the snowy ground. The little girl Miracle was standing next to her father James, helping him to restore his mana.
After only a short time, the sound of crying began to rise from an indistinct distance. As the lush poison smoke began to dissipate, it became clear that these sounds were coming from the ice dragon.
The ice dragon writhed on the ground, blood pouring from its eyes, nostrils, ears and mouth. The poison released from James was no ordinary poison. Even if James had not managed to fully train the poison in his body, he was a Poison Master, and even this indicated the degree of untrained poison in his body.
After all, someone didn't just become a Poison Master. Although it was not a poison that would not kill or paralyse even an advanced dragon, James was carrying a poison that could injure that dragon.
This meant that this young ice dragon would not last. It was impossible for him not to die.
