"Rumble rumble rumble".

The Alchemy Creature's steps were so fast that it seemed to be flying. Despite its huge stature, all that could be seen was a slight blur and the residual black smoke left in its wake. This smoke was extremely poisonous, and the slightest contamination would be a disaster.

Paolo's face was completely serious now. With a slight push of both his hands, endless streams of cold air began to pour out. His control of the Ice Elements was equally matched with the Frost Lord, but far exceeded Spell Casters of the same level.

"Crack crack crack".

The ground was almost entirely frozen by ice crystals, but in the blink of an eye, the white ice crystals turned black again. This was because the Alchemy Creature flew forward swiftly, and with a single step from the monster, venom spurted out and corroded the ice crystals.

"Blackmurk, I'm actually eager to see, how strong is your Alchemy Creature?"

Paolo was relatively passive. After being forced to retreat multiple times by the Alchemy Creature and forced into a corner, only then did he react in anger. With a leap backward, his body began to expand rapidly.

Just like the Frost Lord, Paolo swiftly revealed its true form. Its body began to swell rapidly and became even taller and bigger than the Alchemy Creature. In addition, Paolo's body was covered with rippling muscles and was surrounded by a brutal aura.

Upon revealing its true form, Paolo's control over the Ice Elements grew even stronger. With a clutch of his hands, a huge ice rod appeared in the air. It was as thick as a pillar, and it swung heavily towards the Alchemy Creature.

"Thud".

The Alchemy Creature who was initially having the upper hand flew and slammed heavily onto the ground. Fortunately, the Alchemy Creature had been transfigured by Wizard Blackmurk with meticulous effort, so its ability to recover was extremely strong. This small injury would heal quickly and would not cause much damage to the Alchemy Creature.

Nevertheless, this was far from the end. It also proved that Paolo in its true form had a terrifying control of the Ice Elements. In fact, Paolo might even be slightly more powerful than the Frost Lord. Beside Paolo, countless Ice Elements had gathered together, enough for Merlin and the others to distinctly sense the gradual accumulation of Ice Elements around them.

Paolo looked at Merlin and the others with a frosty gaze and spoke up. "Frost Lord, back then, you and I grew up together. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Your noble-sounding words can only fool the snow sprites. Hehe. You've gathered so many snow sprites in your kingdom, but all you really dreamt about is for them to transform into Seventh-level snow sprites so that they can be devoured by you! It's too bad that none of them had been able to transform, so now you can only hunt me down. Do you think that by bringing along these two Spell Casters, you can suppress me? Dream on!"

Towards the end of his rant, Paolo was almost growling in anger. In the air around them, a storm began to brew; a storm that was filled with large amounts of ice crystals.

"Crack".

Finally, the ground and even the air began to freeze. One of the first targets to be frozen was Wizard Blackmurk's Alchemy Creature, so it appeared that Paolo was also repulsed by this Alchemy Creature.

Thick ice crystals were keeping Wizard Blackmurk's Alchemy Creature's frozen. Although the ice layers were quivering rapidly and cracked open one after another, new ice layers were forming at a faster rate. Paolo's control over the Ice Elements was truly formidable. Despite the rate at which it was being consumed, it did not seem to affect Paolo. In fact, Paolo was still able to divert its attention to battle other Spell Casters.

It was no wonder then, despite the Frost Lord being no less powerful than a peak Seventh-level Spell Caster, it saw the need to invite Merlin and Wizard Blackmurk along to defeat Paolo. It was true that Paolo was very hard to beat.

"Hehe, you think that without the Alchemy Creature, I would be left vulnerable?"

Wizard Blackmurk's face changed slightly and turned bright red. He waved a large hand and a strong gale gushed out. However, this gale was very ominous as it was black in color.

The gale was black because it was filled with a venomous substance. All of Wizard Blackmurk's spells carried some form of venom, and the strength of his spells were considerably formidable. Although they did not contain any Pandora Demon Ability, the strength of his spells was impressive enough.

Merlin narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that it was not true that Wizard Blackmurk did not have any Pandora Demon Ability, but his Pandora Demon Ability was Defensive-type. Hence, Wizard Blackmurk used his powerful Pandora Demon Ability to first and foremost to protect his life. He used the Alchemy Creature to complement his Seventh-level spells, which made him almost invincible and matchless.

"Chi chi chi".

Controlled by Paolo, countless ice flakes fluttered in the air and flew directly towards Merlin and the Frost Lord. With just his own capabilities, Paolo was fighting against Merlin, the Frost Lord, and Wizard Blackmurk all at once.

The Frost Lord also roared and revealed its true form. In an instant, the temperature dropped further, that even Merlin felt a slight chill.

The ferocious battle between the Frost Lord and Paolo, with the help of Wizard Blackmurk but without the Alchemy Creature, was still not enough to suppress Paolo.

On the contrary, Paolo's strength seemed to be growing. The scattering range of his ice crystals seemed to stretch further and further, almost threatening Wizard Blackmurk who had retreated far away. Moreover, despite the Alchemy Creature struggling to break free of Paolo's Ice Freeze, the ice layers seemed to be freezing one layer on top of another continuously. The Alchemy Creature was completely frozen and would not be able to break free within a short time.

It would be difficult to only rely on Wizard Blackmurk and the Frost Lord to suppress Paolo.

"Dark Fire Incarnate, are you planning to just be a bystander?"

Wizard Blackmurk was getting enraged. Since he had an existing rift with Merlin, he could not allow Merlin to just watch the fight unfold while he fought tooth and nail with Paolo.

The Frost Lord also growled. "Wizard Merlin, act now, don't forget the contract!"

Merlin stared into space. In fact, he was already feeling a slight pressure from the contract. If he did not act now, the force of the contract would descend. This type of power would appear anywhere at any time, as long as a contract had been signed, and could not be defied even by the strongest Spell Casters.

"Incinerating Fire!"

Merlin took a deep breath, and pale white flames began to pour out from his body. As opposed to his Darkness spells, the Fire-type spells would have a greater effect on snow sprites like Paolo.

As expected, the raging flames began to melt the ice crystals and turned them into water vapor, disappearing without a trace. With the gradual spread of the flames, it greatly reduced Wizard Blackmurk and the Frost Lord's burden.

However, that was not all. Merlin also guided the flames towards the ice crystals that was keeping the Alchemy Creature frozen in place. With the help of Merlin's flames, the Alchemy Creature was able to break free from its bindings in an instant. There was a loud roar as the Alchemy Creature leaped out of its bindings.

Seeing that the Alchemy Creature had escaped its bindings, Wizard Blackmurk was overjoyed. Immediately, he took control of the Alchemy Creature and joined in the siege on Paolo.

With the addition of the Alchemy Creature, Paolo was instantly at a disadvantage. Considering Merlin's flame spell, Paolo was already vaguely suppressed. He could only fight back but could no longer attack.

The Frost Lord was the most aggressive of the lot and was almost going all-out. It was eager to devour Paolo, and perhaps transform to Eighth-level, then it would become one of the most powerful forces in Subzero Snowfield!

It was important to note that once the Frost Lord achieved Eighth-level, it would not be on par with an average Eighth-level Spell Caster, but instead comparable to the top Eighth-level Spell Casters with Fusion Demon Ability. A Spell Caster like that, even during the golden era of Spell Casters, would be considered a truly powerful one.

During the most glorious era of Spell Casters, all of them possessed spells of unimaginable power at a snap of their fingers. This was because the Spell Casters back then were all cultivating Pandora Demon Abilities, and also fused it into their spells.

Only Spell Casters of that level were considered a normal Spell Caster. Otherwise, they would be considered as weak Spell Casters or Spell Casters without potential. Regardless of their levels, they would not be respected.

Once the Frost Lord managed to break through to Eighth-level, it would equivalent to those Eighth-level Wizards with Fusion Demon Abilities. Its power would be unrivaled; thus, it was no wonder that it was so eager, and almost spared no cost in conscripting Wizard Blackmurk and Merlin to defeat Paolo.

"Whoosh…"

Suddenly, a wild gust of wind appeared, and the old Wizard just now materialized beside Paolo. The old Wizard's face was anxious as he whispered, "Master, you better go, you're not their opponent. I'll hold them off."

"You…"

Paolo suddenly saw the female Wizard behind the old Wizard, and its gaze softened. Back then, Paolo had found this old Wizard when it was wandering Subzero Snowfield alone. Paolo saved the old Wizard's life and, in return, used him to hide its identity.

However, the old Wizard continued to regard Paolo as his master, volunteering himself as its slave. Right now, he had come to fend off the attacks from the Frost Lord and the Alchemy Creature to protect Paolo.

"Leave? I'm afraid there's no chance!"

Wizard Blackmurk grinned sinisterly. With a stretch of his hand, a large black fog came into view and shrouded the old Wizard. In an instant, the old Wizard's body began to wither rapidly. His Seventh-level defensive spell was unable to resist the corrosion of the venom.

Soon, there was no longer any trace of life on the old Wizard. An ordinary Seventh-level Wizard was not worth mentioning in the books of Wizard Blackmurk. It did not matter how many Seventh-level Spell Casters came to Paolo's aid, as long as they did not possess any Demon Ability.

Paolo's face suddenly etched into a smile and a frightening aura flared up from his body. The Ice Elements seemed to be even more aggressive than ever before.

"Frost Lord, I initially did not want to devour a companion, but you forced my hand! Haha. You wanted to devour me, but let's see, in the end, who will devour the other?"

Paolo's body actually swelled up again and became more than five meters tall. It turned into a fierce, horrifying monster that was covered with a thick layer of icy armor. No matter how much the Alchemy Creature tried, it was unable to break the defense.

Without breaking the icy armor, it did not matter how venomous the substance on the Alchemy Creature was because it was unable to harm Paolo.

In addition to the spell attack from Wizard Blackmurk, every single attack from the Alchemy Creature packed a great force, but still, Paolo chose to resist them face-on. Obviously, Paolo was wielding a mysterious ability that was able to resist such a powerful siege.

Nevertheless, there must have been some repercussions because Paolo seemed to turn crazy. His eyes were bloodshot and were focused on the Frost Lord alone. With a giant lurch, it came in front of the Frost Lord. Then, with a grasp of Paolo's hand, the entire surrounding was instantly frozen. Comparing their control over the Ice Elements, the Frost Lord was not as formidable as Paolo.

Therefore, once Paolo turned savage and managed to withstand the Alchemy Creature and Wizard Blackmurk's attacks, it smoothly caught the Frost Lord in its hand.

"Paolo, you want to devour me?"

At this moment, the Frost Lord was terrified. It did not imagine that it would face the fate of being devoured. The Frost Lord was born together with Paolo, and they grew up and became Seventh-level snow sprites together, yet the Frost Lord had always been more ambitious and more cunning compared to Paolo. The Frost Lord was the one who dreamt of ruling over Subzero Snowfield one day.

However, the Frost Lord's plans and dreams had been crushed into pieces! Just as it could devour Paolo, so can Paolo devour the Frost Lord.

"Disappear with all your dreams…"

Paolo's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was streaked with insanity. Then, his mouth opened wide and a huge bloody mouth appeared. It was big enough to directly devour the huge body of the Frost Lord.
