Endless Horde: Through the Eyes of a Godking

Chapter 348: Lost Continent Reclamation; Isabella's Stroll and Sea Demons

--

Boom! Crack! Boom!

Amidst the explosion and colorful lights, a woman could be seen treading through the blackened soil while retaining her cold and unapproachable beauty.

Her appearance was a stark contrast to her surroundings. While everything around her seemed gloomy and amidst roaring chaos, she looked at peace or was just indifferent. It's as if none of this had anything to do with her.

This woman was surrounded by chilling air that left a trail of frost in her wake. Three large snowflakes rotated above her, sending out numerous shards of ice crystals to her enemies, impaling them where they stood, turning them into ice sculptures, and then shattering them into fine dust to be scattered in the air, never to reincarnate again.

Isabella was initially chosen to join the leaders in that cage to trap the Sin Demon Kings. The original plan was for her to aid in controlling their movements by freezing them in place so that the rest could erode the demon kings' seemingly bottomless well of power. But this arrangement was vetoed later on in the development of the assault plan.

They figured that Isabella could do so much more when she's out there, more so than Garrick ever could, so she was left outside the cage to deal with demons en masse.

Whether this was truly the right choice or not isn't something that can be determined right now. However, Isabella sure is doing her due diligence in this war.

She must've killed at least hundreds of thousands of demons by now, all by herself too. She was truly unapproachable due to the extremely low temperatures she's releasing. Demons could only dream of getting close to her because before they actually could, they'd be turned into ice sculptures in a blink of an eye. The freezing occurred so fast that even their thoughts couldn't keep up with it.

Isabella brings a frozen tundra with her as she moves. It spans for at least 20 miles with her at the center. Any demons caught inside will be slowed down due to the biting cold. The freezing temperatures must be resisted using demonic energy, or else it will freeze them on the spot.

This resulted in the demons needing to use more strength to resist the erosion of the tundra and the attacks of the soldiers who are moving alongside this Ice Princess.

Her allies weren't affected by the cold, obviously. Only rookies will make that kind of mistake, and there's no room for them in this war. Isabella is a seasoned mage specializing in ice magic; she's the best at it in this era. She obviously wouldn't be careless when casting a spell this large.

To say that she's a natural disaster with legs would be unsavory but not exactly wrong. People who reach this stage in their cultivation tend to be like this, and she's no different. Some might think that this spell might be taking a lot from her, but the truth is that it's not.

Isabella only needs to maintain her spell and focus. As per the consumption of energy, it's almost negligible to her after she learned a cultivation technique that increased the density and quality of energy. This, along with her recent breakthroughs and enlightenments about concept laws, sharply increased her strength.

She could even beat herself when she's still competing at the Grand Superhuman Tournament.

Knowing that they're walking alongside a natural disaster might seem like a scary thought to some soldiers, but on this battlefield? It's a blessing. Especially since this natural disaster was on their side.

The soldiers could only gape in wonder, watching as hordes of demons turned into ice sculptures within a minute or two after staying within the frozen tundra. Killing them becomes a simple matter at that point. In fact, they didn't even need to do anything because it is most likely that the demons that turned into an ice sculpture were already frozen thoroughly.

One tap of their weapons is all they need to turn that ice sculpture into fine dust.

Isabella was practically doing everything, and they're just here to pick up the scraps. Some soldiers even feel like they're cheating because this is really too easy. They don't even have to exert effort.

Splash!!!

BOOM!!

That sound was unnatural. It wasn't just Isabella who felt this; the soldiers around her could tell too.

She narrowed her eyes and used her detection magic to scan her surroundings. She already knows that she's at the edge of the continent; this was her route, rounding up those at the edge of the land as she slowly makes her way to the core area.

Several guesses appeared in her mind immediately after they heard the sound. Isabella turned somber as she looked at the soldiers around her.

"You all should go. Make yourselves useful somewhere else. A big fight is about to come here. Don't hold me back."

Isabella didn't care if her words sounded offensive to them at this point. She truly couldn't care because she could also feel a presence emerging from the depths of the sea. This was obvious from the raging waves assaulting the shore of the continent. She knew that something huge and strong was coming.

The soldiers didn't tarry. In addition, none of them were really offended by her words. It's the truth anyway. Besides, they're big boys, so they could handle some verbal heat.

They retreated from this place immediately; they went even faster after seeing Isabella rising through the air and concentrating the tundra around her to make the temperature lower. They could feel that she's setting up the field for the upcoming fight, and this is something that they absolutely couldn't participate in.

BOOM! SPLASH! ROOAAAARR!!!

Isabella watched as the waves climbed up to a staggering height; at some point, it revealed a massive and bulbous head filled with warts and scales. The stained waters turned denser and murkier, almost like they're ink. She also saw several tentacles emerging from the depths before a pair of dilated and monstrous disc-shaped eyes landed on her, causing her to feel chilled to her core.

"Kraken," Isabella muttered with certainty.

Her face turned solemn at the idea of facing this creature. Yes, she has already decided that she will fight this thing. She knows that she absolutely cannot let this humongous octopus go on a rampage on this land. With how obscenely large this thing was, who knows how many of her comrades will die from its assault?

As if the millions of demons still roaming around aren't enough for them to deal with.

She doesn't know how this thing was alarming, and at this point, she couldn't care less.

"The original plan was to deal with you at a later date, but since you've come here, you might as well stay," Isabella coldly stated.

She lifted her hand and pressed on the pendant she's wearing. As soon as she did so, a cold blue light enveloped her briefly. Once it's gone, Isabella looks different than before.

A crown of colorful ice crystals could be seen on top of her head. She's also wearing gorgeous sky blue armor, which also looked like it was made from ice crystals. Under this armor, she wore a white gown that flowed like mercury, leaving trails of silver dust in her wake.

She's also holding a mage's staff, which looked like it was made from snow. It almost looks like it wouldn't hold its shape, but in truth, it's incomparably durable. This staff focused Isabella's power, raising her strength even more.

All of this was hidden on the pendant she's wearing previously. And this pendant was the personal artifact that Cedric created for her after she took first place in the Continental Superhuman Tournament.

Feeling the protection and power this artifact gives her made the corners of her lips curl for a brief moment before returning to their natural state. She coldly regarded the snarling kraken in front of her before drawing an arc with her staff.

The three snowflakes that previously hovered above her instantly turned gigantic. She sent them spinning towards the kraken; one went above, turning into a turret that mercilessly rained down icicle spears on the kraken; another spun like a buzzsaw, attempting to sever the tentacles that were writhing on the land.

And the final snowflake turned into a disc that released a concentrated beam of white light containing the power of ice.

Everything within 10 miles of Isabella was frozen to nihility; no other living being could approach this place except maybe a few people. The rampaging waves were frozen into glaciers, forming a cage around the kraken, which limited its movements.

Of course, it wouldn't be this easy. This Kraken is considered one of the overlords of the sea. It's flesh has long been developed and tempered by the pressure of the sea depths. But Isabella's ice isn't something she could casually shrug off either. With her understanding of ice laws, Isabella could even freeze space. Of course, her ice also boasts incredible toughness and durability.

Their fight was visible for everybody to see, despite the terrible visibility of this continent. This goddamn octopus is too huge after all. Fortunately, someone was there to intercept it.

BOOM! SPLASH! ROAAARR!!

"God! Are you kidding me? There's another one!?"
