Chapter 1206: Bow of Time, Arrow of Space (1)

“How’s the situation? Have you found the person we want?”

“Yes, Big Brother.”

Upon hearing Rhode’s question, Icy Snow nodded and the swaying tail behind her revealed her mood. She gazed at Rhode with a blush and answered softly. At that moment, Icy Snow shifted her gaze to the sky. Her pitch-black eyes stared blankly as though searching for something invisible. But Rhode clearly knew that all secrets of the ghost fleet were revealed in her vision.

“… Just like what you described, Big Brother—a vampire in red clothes… Yes… wounded and seems to be recuperating at the moment. There aren’t any other enemies around her. Seems like she is the commander there.”

Icy Snow said, extending her right arm and sliding across the air. Along with her movement, an image map appeared in front of everyone. The cabins used to isolate themselves from any line of sight lost their purpose now. Rhode’s group effortlessly spotted every enemy and what exactly they were doing. This was Icy Snow’s forte, [Space Detection]. Even though Alice’s ‘History’ was also incredible, in terms of using images and non-text records to provide details, Icy Snow’s [Space Detection] was more convenient in this situation.

Shortly after, everyone spotted the target: the dispirited female vampire sat on the chair, closing her eyes like she was meditating. There was no one around her and it seemed as though Gaya had indeed injured her badly. Rhode scanned the surroundings and twitched his brows slightly.

“Little Icy, mark that man on the right.”

“Okay, Big Brother.”

Shortly after, a death knight two cabins away from the female vampire was marked. Everyone instinctively shifted their gaze to the mark and was taken aback at the same time. Inside that cabin was none other than one of the four legendary generals, Balende. However, he looked a little strange. He used to be a tall, burly knight. But now, he looked as thin as a match, like a low-level skeletal soldier donned in an unfitting set of armor. Despite that, the black aura hovering around him seemed much denser now. Without the need to fight him, everyone knew that his strength was definitely on a higher level than before. But…

“Balende?”

Rhode stared at the death knight and couldn’t help but pucker his brows. Even though this man was undoubtedly Balende no matter how Rhode looked at him, he wasn’t the same Balende who lost an arm from what Rhode remembered. Logically speaking, Balende’s battle against Alice wounded him severely, so he couldn’t possibly recover so soon. But now, his arm was restored, which was a strange thing. It wasn’t any ordinary injury, but a consequence of a clash between Order, where losing an arm was only a materialization of Balende’s Order rule being shattered. Due to that reason, Balende should never have been able to heal the wound. And now, his arm was perfect, which represented that his rule was healed. But logically, he shouldn’t have recovered so soon…

“Leader, there’s another one.”

At that moment, Mini Bubble Gum said, marking another person who Rhode and the rest couldn’t recognize. At the sight of the rotten wings and pitch-black armor, it was enough to reveal the target’s identity.

Fallen angel…

“Alright, that’s three then.”

In reality, even though Icy Snow’s system interface couldn’t read enemies’ health points, attributes, and critical details, the red names above their heads were obvious enough. Icy Snow was at the max level of 85. According to the system setting, the names of players who were 10 levels or higher than hers would be in red. This went to show that the three of them were genuinely at the four legendary generals’ level. It became clear now why they didn’t retreat to Lydia’s attack. If Lydia had given chase earlier, no one could confirm who would emerge the victor. Although they didn’t know where Ion found these beings to make up for the empty seats of the four legendary generals and how Balende recovered fully, they were sure that these enemies were at the caliber of Chaos Lords.

The three Chaos Lords were located at the ship’s bow, middle, and end respectively. It was apparent that the two at the bow and end were protecting the injured vampire in the middle. This meant that Rhode’s group had to kill the vampire in one shot. If they failed, the bewildered vampire might escape. When that happened, perhaps they could start holding a funeral for Gaya.

“Are you confident, Icy Snow?”

Even though Rhode was a little worried, there wasn’t any other choice now. Although he could also summon Gracier and Madaras back and head over, they would be discovered easily, albeit having similar levels as Icy Snow. Carlesdines were powerful, but weren’t invincible. If not, their royal family wouldn’t have been wiped out during the Creation War. With this consideration, Icy Snow’s abilities were more reliable and convenient for the job.

But it was also situational.

Balende’s presence was indeed bothersome as he possessed the ability to shatter space. In the situation where two abilities of the same nature had different effects, interferences would definitely occur. That was why if Balende detected Icy Snow’s attack, her attack would most likely fail. Due to that reason, Rhode had to act cautiously. Upon hearing Rhode’s question, Icy Snow didn’t reply immediately. Instead, she stared at the target ahead, pondered for a few moments, and spoke.

“Big Brother, if you allow me to, I would like to activate my second talent.”

“You’re saying that…”

Rhode was surprised by Icy Snow’s suggestion. On the other hand, Mini Bubble Gum widened her eyes in astonishment, gazing at Icy Snow.

“Little Icy, you want to activate your double talents? Are you sure you can handle it? I still remember you having terrible success rate in the game!”

“In theory, there should be no issues. I’ve calculated!”

Upon hearing Mini Bubble Gum’s doubt, Icy Snow jumped up like a cat who had its tail stepped on. The latter curled her lips and revealed a dissatisfied look.

Like Canary’s wind and fire elements, Icy Snow was also capable of mastering double talents. Her double talents were ‘time’ and ‘space’, which were on a higher level than ‘wind’ and ‘fire’. Icy Snow brought out the best of her space talent, but just couldn’t find a proper approach to handling the time talent. Both time and space talents could specify and manipulate a period of time. Icy Snow also came up with her ultimate skill—Arrow of Time and Space.

The reason for that was simple. At the same time Icy Snow attacked using the ‘space’ talent, she could appoint when that arrow would arrive by activating the ‘time’ talent. This way, her arrow could arrive at its destination ‘ahead’ or ‘after’ time. If Icy Snow practiced this move, she would be unrivaled on this continent. Because she could designate a target, fire an arrow, and appoint that arrow to either hit the target hours later or in advance. Once she mastered this move, she could also create the effect of her enemy being struck by her arrow even before the arrow was fired, which was basically an unconquerable skill.

But it was a pity that up until Rhode transmigrated to this world, Icy Snow wasn’t able to master this move yet. Even though she was powerful, the concept of time and space was unique, after all. Besides, she needed to calculate many more factors that were involved in her attack. If she was in a great state, she would likely succeed. But if she were in a bad state or had terrible luck, she would likely fail. As this move wasn’t that useful in BOSS fights and was meant for PK only, Icy Snow didn’t set her heart on researching and developing it. Moreover, there were other factors that needed to be calculated and she was just a 13 to 14 years old girl, after all. Battling against a BOSS was tough enough, so having too many things running through her mind also exhausted her. One must enjoy playing the game. There would be no purpose in playing the game if it became as stressful as doing research and assignment, wasn’t it?

“…”

Facing Icy Snow’s suggestion, Rhode was troubled. This move was indeed powerful. Besides, if Icy Snow were to use it, she could create the effect of hitting the enemy as soon as she fired the arrow. Everything would happen within 0.1 seconds. As long as the enemy wasn’t one who owned the ability to manipulate time, this move would surely seize the life of the enemy.

But the issue now was that Icy Snow didn’t conquer this move yet and had to rely upon her state and luck. Once she failed, the enemy would immediately realize that something was wrong.

There is only one chance… Based on this situation, the success rate is around 50-50.

At this thought, Rhode turned to Lydia. After all, she should be the one to make the decision. Upon realizing Rhode’s gaze, Lydia nodded firmly.

“I’ll leave it to you, Your Majesty Rhode. No matter the results, I will accept it,” the archangel said.

“Alright.”

Upon receiving her confirmation, Rhode nodded with might, extended his arm, and held Icy Snow’s shoulder.

“Little Icy, activate your double talents!”
