God's Apostle: Rebirth of a Lazy Genius-Chapter 92 Alier’s Strength

As the barrier's source was about to fade from the constant bombardment of dozens of knights from outside, the assailants were getting more desperate inside.

While Alier was chasing the leader of the ambushers like a dog without a leash, throwing spikes and spears of ice, using waves of his Elemental Essence to scare the heart out of the assailant's leader, and the leader responded by using his fire elemental essence, countering and dodging although just barely—the other ambushers were starting to push back the exhausted knights.

The knights, despite being strong, brave, and well-coordinated, could no longer fight on as they were covered with wounds all over their bodies, but seeing that they had no choice but to fight to their last breath, they were pushing the most absolute limits of their physic and consciousness.

The slashing of swords was deafening, the cutting of air made one take a step back, the clinking of metal created fiery sparks and an intimidating sound, the noise of booming collisions of violent energies made Ethan excited by the mystical powers, the scorching sound of flames terrified the forest, and the crackling sound of ice made one chill to the bone in trepidation.

All in all, the battlefield had become a real hellhole. Another knight who had been guarding Ethan fell as he ferociously took down three with him to the underworld. Now there were only four knights and about ten assailants left. However, the ten assailants were unharmed while the knights looked like they would collapse by just a slightly strong breeze.

As Ethan heard the entire situation from Afriel, he raised his brows in anger. "Should I go out?" He contemplated.

"Master, you shouldn't or the sacrifices of these brave men will be for not. Also, it's not safe." Afriel said calmly.

"Yes, it was but a mere thought," Ethan said with a sigh as he perked up his ears trying to hear the violent clashes between Alier and the enemy leader.

The elements chirred, oozing out the chilling energy that froze everything in its wake. Alier pointed his finger at the enemy leader as a volley of pointy sharp, radiating icicles shot out.

The enemy leader gritted his teeth, as the shallow cut on the side of his abdomen and the frigid energy trying to spread out throughout his entire body from the wound reminded him of his inferiority.

Although due to their conflicting elements, he was able to keep the frigid Essence from spreading into his body by using his Fire Essence. However, his comprehension of the element was comparatively low and thus he was barely able to hold the energy at one part of the body, let alone eliminate it.

The man's response to Alier's assault was to conjure multiple fireballs as he ran around in the barrier for his life. Ironically, the barrier had become his cage, totally contrasting with its purpose.

The icicles and the fireball crashed into each other and the fireball disappeared even without leaving any smoke. While the icicles shot forward heading towards the enemy leader, although greatly weakened.

The enemy leader sensed the chill at his back as he took cover behind a broad tree. The icicles rapidly approached the tree and just as it looked like the icicles would impale into the tree, the icicles suddenly disintegrated into particles.

The enemy leader who had braced himself for an impact felt absolutely nothing as he looked around for activity.

Suddenly sensing a bad premonition, the man jumped backward and saw as the ground where he was standing became a den of icy spikes. The tree he was leaning on was covered with frost as spears of ice protruded from it. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

The man sighed with relief feeling terrified to his core as he scrambled to get as far away as possible from the literal Asura behind him.

"Stop running you cockroach!" Alier yelled in frustration.

Alier focused his senses as he perceived what was happening where Ethan was. The knights had fortunately killed two more however the fourth knight had also been killed while the other three were desperately defending themselves.

A slight smile appeared on Alier's face as a stoic cold glimmer flashed in his eyes. "My essence needs to recover. I have had enough of this." Muttered Alier mockingly.

Alier's demeanor changed again as he mobilized a greater portion of his pure Elemental Essence. Looking at the cockroach that was so desperately fleeing him, Alier chuckled as he began reciting an incantation before conjuring multiple slippery ice floors, volleys of ice spears, and walls to hinder the enemy's movements.

While back where Ethan was, the battle was about to be over. The enemies threw long-range toward the sturdy ice wall as there was no one to intercept these shots this time around.

The daggers and arrows flew at incredible speed, totally unhindered as they bashed into the little ice dome. Despite the great force behind these throws, the ice dome stood firm like obsidian as the arrows and daggers got deflected from its surface upon contact.

The ice dome was only small enough to cover Ethan from all sides and so the remaining knights could still fend off the attackers covering most of the dome, guarding it tightly.

Although Ethan felt terrible just standing there behind protective layers doing absolutely nothing, he had no other choice.

As the attackers realized that the long-range weapons with their inferior skillset were of no use to break the ice barrier, they became even more relentless in their approach as they began pummeling their way through the bloodied knights.

Meanwhile a few distances away into the woods, the enemy leader became exhilarated as he sensed that the knights were almost dead.

He constantly created a sea of fire in the forest which was quickly put out by Alier as if it was just some minor task. The leader knew that the ancestral shrine was a sacred place to the whites and so he tried destroying the whole premise with scorching flames hoping to distract Alier as much as possible.

"The God of Frigid Ice and Snow, bestow thy blessing upon your child. Lend me thy strength, the cage that freezes the Oceans, the wind that chills the bones, the ice that shall cover the lands, the sovereign of all that is cold! Bestow thy power and impale my enemy in a web of Ice! The Snow Domain!"

Alier recited loudly as the enemy leader felt his soul shiver. He regretted ever coming to the God-forsaken place and gifting himself to Yama the King of Hell.

"DAMN YOU!"

The man cried out in resentment as the green forest suddenly turned white and blue, the Elemental Essense of Ice was everywhere in the air as snowflakes fell down the skies.

It was as if everything had turned icy, covered with frost. The world became silent and the chilling wind blew in the dead of summer. The moonlight reflected from the falling snowflakes created an illusion of stars slowly landing on the ground.

The enemy leader involuntarily stopped in his tracks. He could feel that there was no running from this kind of might. As he could feel his end near, the man tried for the last time to defend himself.

Using all of his inferior and weak Fire Elemental Essence, he created a sea of fire around him at least up to a hundred meters stopping the bone-chilling cold from freezing his body from the inside out.

However, it was no use as the fire slowly began shrinking as if afraid of the coldness.

"Why were you toying with me?" The man asked hopelessly in lamentation.

He could not understand why Alier was toying with him so much when he could easily finish it way sooner. Toying with the enemy for no reason was considered extremely pompous and contemptuous and so the man was in disbelief seeing that a nobleman like Alier could act this way.

Alier did not say anything as he raised his hand pointing at the helpless man. With a completely emotionless face and a stoic tone, he said calmly, "Now die."

As he uttered these words, a surge of waves traversed through the frosty ground. Shortly after, countless ice lances protruded from the trees. The ground from all sides trembled as pikes of ice shot out from the floor starting from where Alier standing, rapidly popping up all over the place making their way to where the enemy leader was.

The man used all his remaining Fire Essense conjuring extremely hot flames trying to resist to the best of his ability. Momentarily it even looked like he could fend off the cold wrath for a moment but then the Ice Elemental Essense that was in his body flared up.

As the temperature grew colder and colder, the man could no longer feel anything. His eyeballs had begun freezing, his skin turned hard with frost and his feet froze in place shackled by ice. From the corner of his eye, the man saw behind him that a large wall had formed joining through all the trees cutting his escape.

The hopeless reality of the situation finally dawned on him as his face began extremely ugly as the rock-hard skin stretched due to his horrified expression.

All the lances around him which were protruding from the trees suddenly shot forward like bullets, the ice pikes popping put off the ground reached him as the final thing the man saw was Alier's cold and ruthless eyes as the lances pierced him from all sides and the icy pikes popped out from below his feet, brutally impaling his body to a huge pike.

Alier snickered coldly, seeing the frozen corpse in the middle of a frozen forest under the moonlight as the frozen leaves, the icy ground and the pikes on which the corpse was impaled, shimmered brilliantly.

Alier turned back nonchalantly, sweat forming on his forehead despite the cold. He darted forward with great speed making his way back to the pathway toward the shrine near the shrine gate where Ethan was.
