Supreme Monarch

Chapter 255 C255. Ring Of Icyla



"Equip: Ice Goddess Armaments"

The crystal ring Liz wore on her left ring finger glowed brightly at her command as the air around them grew colder despite the restrictions placed on the space around her by the sealing barrier.

Icyla was the goddess of winter, cold and ice, a being with complete authority over ice and cold. Thus, the God Tier magic artifact accurately named the Ring of Icyla, was an embodiment of that authority and possess most of the powers under that domain.

However, ice-based abilities were not the only thing the God Tier artifact had in its arsenal. As a previous member of the Alcar family, Liz held a lot of control over ice and cold herself and did not require the aid of an item.

This was why the most valuable aspect of the artifact gifted to her was not its dominion over ice but its other abilities.

The item possessed a variety of secondary effects and all of them were quite special. For Instance, the artifact grants its user eternal life as it prevents further aging, which would allow the user to cheat death as long as they don't get destroyed.

The artifact also protects the user from scrying effects which makes them impossible to be tracked by magic.

Frankly, this effect alone was the reason she had been gifted this item as it seem a lot of powers in this world were interested in her and after this war, there would be a lot more of them. Especially now that the Alcars knew she was still alive.

Although Liz had not planned to accept any more gifts from Lord Ty as she still felt indebted to him. She had no choice but to accept the artifact so as not cause him any further trouble.

The fact that he was also worried about her to this extent made her heart flutter and gave her the determination to move forward even against her 'previous' family.

The last secondary effect of the God Tier magic artifact was; it grants the user the God Class magic Armament of the goddess Icyla.

As a magic armor made from condensed ice-type energy that can be equipped in an instant. The magic artifact was essentially both a magic accessory and a magic armor mix in one.

As Liz activated the skill, an icy blue aura wrapped around her body before forming a silverish white light metal armor with blue magic runes stylishly designing its surface.

Her headgear was designed to resemble a falcons wings making her look and feel somewhat like a Valkyrie.

For some reason, the design of the armor was also quite skimpy but it was still better than her torn dress.

A long exquisite silver spear had also materialized in her hand as she stood before the stunned Misty, a powerful aura exploding from her as the air around her slowly froze gently before breaking apart due to the sealing barrier still active around her.

"..."

Misty was completely dumbfounded as she stared at the armored Liz in disbelief. The hand holding the whip trembled as her mind raced in a desperate attempt to comprehend the essence of the godly figure before her.

Her brain told her body to move but it wouldn't as the aura from that divine armor completely suppressed her will to fight.

'What should I do? This is bad right? How the hell did she get such overpowered equipment. I'm going to die here ain't I?'

As her mind roamed about in a mess trying to think of a way out of this even though her body no longer responded to her commands, Liz took a single step towards her and her mind went blank as her heart almost stopped.

She was only at the 6th Tier and even though the pill she took boosted her physical abilities to match that of a basic demigod.

Not only did such a method put a lot of strain on her mind and body, but it also couldn't get her through a certain threshold to equal true demigods.

With such powers also came glaring weakness as the pill allowed her to comprehend a demigod's powers. However, being able to sense their aura was not a good thing as, without enough resistance, she could run mad or even die on the spot.

In the end, that pill had been meant for the last resort to mount a retreat but they had foolishly chosen to fight with it and now, it had come back to bite her.

"I told you I'll end this with a single strike so I hope you'll forgive me for not holding back. If you want to see Rain again, try not to die okay."

'Huh?...'

Misty's body instinctively took a step back as she saw the dim blow emanating from Liz's eyes while she spun her spear which somehow seems to be changing the weather around them.

It was painfully clear that she wasn't joking and truly intended to kill her with whatever attack she was about to unleash.

Her mind raced madly as she thought of every conceivable way to save her life but nothing seems to be a promising solution as anything she attempted may just push her closer to the grave.

She quickly jolted back as she saw Liz take her final step.

It was a shame she hadn't gotten to see Rain one last time but perhaps blaming Liz for taking her sister away had caused her more harm than good. In the end, she would never be as close as they once were.

"World Splitting - Ice Cataclysm."

Her soft-spoken words were a direct contrast to the power and chaos she was about to unleash with a single swing of her spear. The world was frozen over.

Well, that was only an illusion brought about by despair as the only place froze was the direction in which she was as a cold wave gusted out of her spear like a sword slash and froze everything in its path in dark ice.

No one knew where the attack stopped but they would later find out that the single strike had completely eliminated the entirety of Unit 7 of the undead army led by the mummy lord, Inal.

"Whew... That's insane girl, did you kill her?"

"Geez would you please stop doing that!"

Hearing Rain's voice suddenly close to her neck, Liz was a little startled but soon recovered as she was a little used to this at this point.

Ever since Rain gained the skill of perfect invisibility, she had been addicted to appearing behind people for no reason at all which could get annoying sometimes.

Still, Liz knew she would soon get bored of that so she just had to bear with it a while longer.

"Not sure, I didn't hold back too much so if she just stood there and took the attack then she's dead."

"Oh, let's see then."

Rain said nonchalantly as she moved from beside Liz toward the wave of ice.

"Hey, if she's really dead won't you be sad. She's your only sister after all."

"Um? What are you saying? She's my sister by blood sure but I never see her at all and even when we went on those occasional missions, we never spoke. If anything, you're more of a sister to me than she ever was."

"Really? I'm flattered but she seems to really care about you. It seems you guys may have been close to each other when you were a little kid."

Rain stopped in her tracks as she turned back around to fact Liz while slightly tilting her head in contemplation.

"Well you may be right I do have some memories like that but it's been so long since then, I'm so supposed to remember that. If she wasn't holding such a grudge against you then maybe things would've been different."

"Hmm, so you knew about her grudge."

"Of course I did, what do you take me for?"

"If you did why didn't you say anything then."

"Why would I? She's the one blaming others for being victims while obeying the family as though her life depended on it."

"Well, it kinda did."

"Not the point."

Shrugging her shoulders, Rain turned back around towards the location of Misty, moving forward a little, they saw her partially frozen in the ice wave as her eyes were rolled back and she had passed out.

It was a miracle she hadn't soiled herself as it seems she had passed out from the shock of the attack before it had even reached her.

"Ahhh... she's so embarrassing."

Liz chuckled sightly as she heard Rain complain about her sister's condition. The act was actually what saved her life as whatever was frozen in Liz's ice while donning the armaments of Icyla could not be healed or regenerated.

Fortunately for Misty, only her arms and legs were frozen so as long as they cut them off they could have Erin heal her using Pure water.

"So what do we do with her. Do you want her dead?"

"Not really no."

"Well, she might be useful to Lord Ty given her years in the family without being monitored like us. But she'll be tortured for information though? Is that okay with you?"

"I don't really care if she lives or dies but... I didn't know. Perhaps killing her is a better option. Lord Ty said we could decide on what to do with the representative ourselves but, I just don't want to make the wrong choice."

"Well, the family takes great care in training the dark elves to resist Mind manipulation so I don't think even lord Ty can use mind control on her without torture."

"I know right."

"Well, there is domination."

"Domination?"

"It's one of the skills I got from Lord Ty. With it, he could make anyone weaker than he submits completely to him."

Gasp... "Completely! Even sexually."

"Why's that your first thought but eventually yes. It's a forceful method but with the current state of Misty's mind, I don't think any torture is needed. So that should be a fairly easy method."

Rain had a perplexed expression on her face as she thought about what Liz was saying seemingly begrudged or something.

"What's wrong, worried she'll—"

"Oh fine then. But if she dares make a move on Lord Ty later I'll kill her myself."

"Huh? The whole point of mind domination is so the target becomes extremely loyal. There's no way she would make a move against—"

"Not what I meant!"

Saying that Rain quickly sank back into her shadow as she hastily left the snowfield and headed back to the castle.

Liz was a little confused about what she meant before suddenly realizing it and her face went a little red. She then shook her head as she cast a dispel magic to cancel out the sealing barrier that was still active around them.

Once that was done, she turned back around to face Misty's body still hanging out of the ice and sighed.

"That girl. I can't believe she left me alone to deal with this. She's definitely sleeping in ice this night."
