Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple
Chapter 481 Chapter481- Ice Guard
John and his two companions moved swiftly.
Having made up their minds, they left from the teleportation point of Iceburg Castle and took the main road directly to the entrance of the castle.
Observing their surroundings, they quickly headed towards the outermost walls of Iceburg Castle.
This castle, unlike other cities of the Order Faction which were protected by several layers of walls and guards, was different.
Situated in the frigid north, Iceburg Castle lacked guards on its outer walls, except for the innermost ones.
This was, of course, great news for John and his team.
They didn't have to worry about being detected by the Order Faction's guards and wasting more time.
Although their actions weren't a significant threat to the Order Faction, the guards would undoubtedly try to ascertain the situation thoroughly.
After all, this wasn't Storm City, and John couldn't quickly gain the trust of the guards here.
The trio moved rapidly, advancing along the outer walls of Iceburg Castle without attracting the attention of any NPCs or players.
They soon reached a fork in the road.
Blue Sea examined the surrounding scenery and confirmed that turning left at the junction would lead them into the north area of Iceburg Castle.
"We just need to turn left at this fork, and there's only one road after that. Following it, we should quickly reach the north area of Iceburg Castle," Blue Sea briefly explained.
Following his direction, the three of them continued forward.
However, as they proceeded, John couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.
He thought about Iceburg Castle, which, although not one of the most important towns of the Order Faction, was still a system main city.
Could the defenses of a system main city be so weak?
John doubted that any main city's defenses could be this feeble.
Could they really enter the north area of Iceburg Castle so easily?
John suspected that there must be significant obstacles at the entrance to the north area of Iceburg Castle.
Despite his concerns, he chose not to voice them outright, thinking it might increase the pressure on Adam and Blue Sea.
The three continued along the only path and soon reached its end, which was marked by a very tall city wall.
Atop the wall was a gigantic blue statue, depicting a warrior clad in armor.
"Why does it look like this here? Didn't we say that we could directly enter the north area of Iceburg Castle from this point?"
Blue Sea, gazing at the massive warrior statue, couldn't help but express his confusion in a puzzled tone.
Blue Sea was still unclear about the situation, but Adam and John had already figured it out.
They knew that the giant blue statue was definitely the tool defending this place.
Just as Blue Sea finished speaking, mysterious magical symbols suddenly surrounded the giant blue statue, which then abruptly came to life.
[Ice Guard]
[Level: 204]
[Affiliation: Order Faction]
[Character Description: The great Legend Magus, the most powerful ice magus in history, Neville, created this giant puppet using a powerful ice spell.
It possesses extremely strong combat abilities and can unleash immensely powerful ice spells.
This is the strongest defensive force of Iceburg Castle. Under the protection of the Ice Guard, Iceburg Castle has not been breached by any hostile forces for 1000 years.]
As the information about the Ice Guard appeared before them, John and the others knew they had to prepare for battle quickly.
John immediately took out his weapon and swiftly moved to the side of the Ice Guard.
He was well aware that a battle puppet created by spells like the Ice Guard would have formidable frontal combat capabilities.
To swiftly defeat the Ice Guard, they had to attack from the side.
Only by finding its weakness on the side could they strike a fatal blow.
John's action surprised Blue Sea, who was still trying to figure out what to do next, when Adam promptly suggested.
"We both need to distract the Ice Guard from the front. This is the only way John can quickly find its weak point and destroy the Ice Guard!"
With Adam's words, Blue Sea naturally joined him in frontally distracting the Ice Guard.
However, both of them somewhat underestimated the Ice Guard's strength.
The moment the Ice Guard was activated, it unleashed an ice sword spell, instantly causing the surrounding air to congeal.
Even someone as powerful as John found his usual agility greatly hampered.
With all three of them slowed down, they received a system notification informing them that they were now in a vulnerable state to ice spells.
For any type of spell to inflict high damage, it must be paired with a corresponding vulnerability.
Under the vulnerable state of ice spells, any ice spell attacks from the opponent would rapidly decrease their health.
Realizing their precarious situation, Adam and Blue Sea immediately chose to evade the Ice Guard's attacks.
They both knew very well that they weren't strong enough to withstand the direct attacks of the Ice Guard head-on.
While Adam and Blue Sea were engaged in battle with the Ice Guard, John finally discovered its weak point. He noticed a crack in the Ice Guard's shoulder.
This flaw might have been intentionally left by the Ice Guard's creator during its construction.
After all, even a Legend Magus couldn't be sure that a spell doll they created would always act entirely according to their will.
If a spell doll went out of control, the Legend Magus who created it would need to destroy it quickly.
Most Legend Maguses intentionally leave a significant flaw in the spell dolls they create for this very reason.
John, having discovered the Ice Guard's weak point, naturally chose to attack it directly.
He vanished on the spot and turned into a streak of white light, rushing to the side of the Ice Guard.
John had already gathered a tremendous amount of power in his hands, ready to strike the crack in the Ice Guard's shoulder, which would be enough to shatter it.
However, what happened next was far beyond John's expectations.
The Ice Guard's movement speed was not as slow as John had thought.
The moment John appeared at the Ice Guard's side, it swiftly turned around.
Its eyes gleamed with a blue light, and John could feel himself rapidly being frozen.
Sensing the onset of being frozen, John immediately released the Abyssal Prison.
Under its effect, he temporarily escaped from the Ice Guard's attack.
John used a Teleport Spell to quickly transport himself to where Adam and Blue Sea were.
He felt that the Ice Guard was too strong, and they shouldn't waste any more time fighting it.
"The Ice Guard is too powerful! It would take us a long time to defeat it. We're short on time, so let's just bypass it," John suggested.
After saying this, John handed out a teleportation scroll to each of his companions.
As for himself, he didn't need one since his own teleportation spell was of a sufficiently high level.
"I'll cover your escape, hurry and get through the last city wall!" As soon as John finished speaking, he threw a Fire Spell scroll from his pocket.
The Ice Guard, naturally, ignored the Fire Spell scroll.
Its sole purpose was to ensure that no one could enter the north area of Iceburg Castle. However, this move put the Ice Guard in significant trouble.
The Fire Spell scroll activated close to the Ice Guard, engulfing it in a massive flame.
Being powered by ice spells, the Ice Guard naturally struggled to escape from the fiery trap.
Seizing this opportunity, John quickly used his Teleport Spell to leave the scene.
Thus, John, Adam, and Blue Sea finally managed to bypass the Ice Guard and arrived at the north area of Iceburg Castle.
They could now hasten to find the location of the Darklord Guild.
