Dragon Raja: Starting with Deadpool, Evolving Through Devouring

Because whenever you want to take action, whether it's to save someone or to turn around and run away, you get the intuition that you will die in the next second.

It was at this moment that Murphy realized he had been completely targeted by the other party!

Word of Power: Extreme Ice

An invisible wave of spiritual energy emanated from Malphite and swept outwards in all directions.

"Domain-type spells?"

There are quite a few domain-type Word of Power, such as Time Zero and Judgment, so Cao Han was able to immediately discern the nature of this invisible fluctuation.

What puzzled him was that after the other party released the Word of Power, nothing seemed to change; at most, the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped several degrees...

cold!?

A flash of lightning struck Cao Han's mind, instantly making him realize the effect of the other party releasing the power of words.

If even someone with his incredibly strong physique could feel several degrees colder, what about someone else?

Upon realizing this, Cao Han immediately turned to look at Lin Yang and Levi, the only survivor of the action team, behind him. The two men, standing on the snow, were already so cold that their bodies were shaking wildly like motors.

Items such as vehicles were visibly covered with a thick layer of frost very quickly.

Chapter 168 Deadly Ice Crystals

"That's it!?"

The Words of Power of the Ocean and Water King lineage has always been the biggest gap in the Secret Party's Words of Power periodic table, with most of them being speculations from predecessors.

Besides, reality isn't some kind of melodramatic, hot-blooded manga.

The enemy won't shout out the "skill name" when they unleash a spell in battle; that's not telling them.

The effects of skills can only be truly understood through personal experience.

Based on what Cao Han has discovered, or rather sensed, the incantation released by the other party should be a domain-type incantation, the effect of which is known to be to cause the temperature within the domain to drop rapidly.

"It feels somewhat similar to the Word of Power: Boiling!"

For some reason, he suddenly thought of Paul Fisher's Word of Power, which is also capable of regulating temperature, but it is a positive one, a direction, and a single entity and a group.

Sometimes intelligence can still be very valuable.

This is why, even though he could have dealt with Murphy instantly, he still chose to test the waters for half a day first.

"Could you tell me about your Word of Power? For example, its name and its effects."

"Ok?"

Cao Han's actions once again shattered Murphy's understanding.

In his opinion, Cao Han's actions just now were too ruthless and decisive. He was even worried that Cao Han might attack him immediately when he released his words of power.

The result, however, was the opposite.

Murphy said he was worried about how to stall for time as much as possible, but he didn't expect his opponent to cooperate so well, so he was naturally happy to see it happen.

"Word of Power: Extreme Ice".

"As for the effect, it's not impossible to tell you. After it's released, a field within the caster's perception range will be generated, and the water element within the field will be transformed into ice element."

Water transforms into ice?

Cao Han quickly figured out the key point: he had misunderstood; the other person's words had absolutely nothing to do with Paul Fisher's boiling.

It's not about controlling the temperature within a specific area at all.

The reason for the significant temperature drop in the surrounding area is that the water element was converted into the ice element.

The most brilliant lie is one that is nine parts truth mixed with one part falsehood.

Everything Murphy said was true, but he intentionally omitted some important and crucial information.

Any domain-based incantation, once released, cannot escape controlling some kind of "variable" within the domain, such as time within the Time Zero domain, or mental strikes within the Judgment domain.

Even without the opponent explicitly stating it, Cao Han could guess that his opponent must be able to control the ice elements within the domain.

Then the problem is coming!

He was stalling for time in order to extract useful information about the Word of Power from Murphy. What was the other party delaying by cooperating like this?

Malphite: You're waiting for your skills to cool down? What are you waiting for?

This may be the insurmountable gap that exists naturally between the next generation and the Dragon King.

For the four monarchs, mastering the elements is an innate power, but Malphite's ability to release his domain and transform water into ice requires a "casting animation".

Simply put, it's about transforming the terrain into a favorable one.

Fortunately, the Siberian region is naturally covered in ice and snow, and the favorable natural environment accelerated the elemental transformation process of Moffett.

"What are you preparing by stalling for time...?"

Cao Han didn't mince words and said directly that as long as the other party still showed a willingness to cooperate in obtaining information, he wouldn't mind sending the other party to the underworld a little later.

As for whether the Eastern Underworld governs the Western Dragon Clan, that's not something Cao Han can worry about.

But he only got halfway through his sentence.

Cao Han keenly sensed an attack from behind, but since he didn't feel much threat from it, he simply chose not to dodge or evade.

A blade made entirely of solid ice suddenly pierced towards Cao Han's back from the ground.

boom!

The moment the blade pierced Cao Han's body, the former remained motionless, but the seemingly crystal-clear ice blade shattered into several pieces and fell to the ground.

"Bushgos!?"

After personally experiencing the damage inflicted by the ice blade, Cao Han couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling greatly disappointed.

Such hardness and sharpness only pose a threat to ordinary people and mixed-race individuals; its only advantage lies in its concealment.

Launching a surprise attack at an unexpected moment and from a blind spot is quite threatening, but unfortunately, it came down to Cao Han.

"Is this the method you've been preparing for all this time? If so, you're of no value whatsoever."

Cao Han was just telling the truth; the name "Extreme Ice" does sound rather intimidating.

The result was indeed ice, and the generated ice blades looked quite nice, but they didn't quite match the extreme characteristics.

It was as if I could hear the sarcasm in his words.

Murphy's expression began to turn ferocious, and under his mental manipulation, countless sharp ice blades simultaneously shot out from all directions around Cao Han.

however!

In fact, sometimes no matter how much quantitative change there is, it will not lead to qualitative change.

The seemingly dense and terrifying ice blades felt like mosquito bites to Cao Han, causing no pain or itching. He only needed to dodge a small number of attacks aimed at vital areas like his eyes, but the rest couldn't even break through his defenses.

However, Murphy seemed particularly defiant.

The ice blades on the ground attacked relentlessly, as if they were free, and the constantly shattering ice fragments formed beautiful ice crystals in the air.

"You don't think you can get rid of me like this, do you?"

It's said that villains die from talking too much, but Cao Han isn't worried at all. At least for now, the other party hasn't shown the slightest threat to him.

Well, the Word of Power: Extreme Ice is definitely suitable for clearing out small fry on the battlefield.

"Brother Tongzi, can I recruit pureblood dragons into my guild?"

【cannot】

"pity."

For a fleeting moment, Cao Han had the idea of ​​simply taking the other party under his command as a subordinate.

In situations where he is unwilling to reveal that he possesses other spiritual powers, sending out his underlings to clear the way is quite appropriate.

Unfortunately, "System Brother" wasn't quite up to par...

"Cough cough cough-"

A very faint, violent coughing sound came from a distance.

It's only because Cao Han has a strong hearing that he could have detected the sound of the ice blade breaking.

Turning around, they discovered that Lin Yang and Levi had both fallen to the ground at some point, their movements remarkably synchronized as they clutched their throats and coughed and gasped for breath.

"There's something completely wrong with this!"

Both of them were considered elites among mixed-race individuals, so even a drop in temperature wouldn't cause this to happen.

Cao Han observed closely and quickly discovered the problem—

The ice crystals that constantly filled the air as the ice blades shattered were both dazzling and dangerous.

These extremely fine particles, which are generally invisible to the naked eye, enter the human respiratory system directly with respiration, thus damaging the enemy's body from the inside.

It seems this is the killer move that Murphy has been hiding in the shadows.

No matter how strong you make your body outwards, your internal organs are incredibly fragile.

The reason Cao Han seems completely unaffected is because he's cheating!

The physical strength enhanced by system points is a comprehensive and thorough approach, naturally including the internal organs.

Therefore, Lin Yang and Levi suffered severe frostbite to their respiratory systems from inhaling the deadly ice crystals in the air.

If this continues, both of them could very well become the next von Schneider, their entire respiratory system destroyed by the extreme cold, leaving them only able to survive with the help of external breathing equipment.

Cao Han thought that this much intelligence was enough.

"I've given you plenty of opportunities. I didn't transform into a dragon form right away, but instead released my spiritual power to build up my strength."

Either they are extremely confident in their incantations, or they lack the body of a dragon.

In any case, this farce should come to an end.

As he began to travel more frequently for missions, Cao Han increasingly felt that his black knife was becoming too inconvenient.

The design of the replica of the Mo Dao resulted in the black sword being over two meters long, making it extremely inconvenient to carry around, not to mention how to handle security checks when entering other countries.

Thank goodness he still has fists as big as a clay pot!
