I regressed and became the Sword Ice King-Chapter 190 - - Trip to the East 9
The taste of blood had never been so disgusting, well, not literally, but no one exactly liked being soaked in the blood of one of the most appalling demons there was.
’Of course, this is just merely below the list of the top fifty’. He walked down the pile of dead bodies, and the smell that emanated from him had become a warning to the incoming Walking Worms. Like a spell of doom if they were to attack.
They simply backed off as he walked forward.
"You must be the masterminds. How amusing, a girl with snake hair?! Are you a member of the Eastern Resistance?". He asked, but of course, he was well
aware of her identity.
It would be difficult for one to miss her appearance nonetheless. The girl with the rarest of professions. The Serpent Whisperer. It was supposed to be a side class from the Beast Tamer profession, and our deeds on the border between the East and West were well known.
’It doesn’t just stop there. She actually goes and joins the Red Peacemakers later in the future…well that would be after the destruction of their resistance’.
The two figures remained still and quiet but grew wary. They seemed to be scanning through the boy in their way, and it became nearly evident that they could not scan his level.
"Are you not going to talk?" Raph asked when he noticed the girl’s third eye. ’Oh, I’m curious to find out which is stronger’. He pondered before he noticed the Girl’s movement. She suddenly turned around to walk away.
"Take care of this quickly, Raja. We can’t fail the mission" She said, while the boy chuckled as he held his dadao.
"I’m sure you see it too. This man is dangerous. I can’t even scan his level, and you want me to fight him? Scary ~" He teased as he stood up from his squatting position.
"Shut up and do as you’re told" She instructed with a disgusted tone in her voice. She was about to say something else when an alien figure suddenly appeared between the both of them like a lightning bolt. It felt like reality had warped with the appearance of the figure, and the very action sent a cold shiver down their spines.
Their eyes bulged open in shock as realization dawned on them like a boulder. They didn’t need to turn towards the figure to realize it was the same person who stood meters away from them until just now.
’Huh? When?’ The girl thought, her shock palpable as her body began to prepare itself for the next action even without her consent.
"Who said anything about letting you go? You’ll need to face me together….". Raph slowly wretched his longsword in the air, a cold chill emanating from him, causing an icy shiver to spread to the two figures. "....if you want to keep your lives that is".
Raja, the boy suddenly twirled and pulled his dadao forward, blocking a strike from Raph that would have otherwise taken the head of the Girl he was meant to protect.
The force nearly sent him to his knees as he struggled to keep his posture.

’Oi, Oi, that was his natural strength?’ He wondered when Raph suddenly closed the gap between them by sliding across the floor like a flowing river.
He grabbed the boy by his neck.
"Is this all?" He asked before kicking him away with a loud bang. The air whipped with his foot as it struck the boy’s chest, causing a wave of pain to spread through the boy as he was sent flying.
Raph turned towards the Girl, who had long since chosen to flee from him.
"Don’t run! Fight!" he said with a sarcastic, carefree tone, before charging forward like a beam, closing the distance between them in an instant.
The girl quickly flipped around, raising her hands in the air and using her third eye to stare right into Raph, or at least the darkness that hid his face.
"Kneel before me!"
A throbbing sensation ran through his body, but it was only for a single moment. His body easily broke through the effect of her eyes as he swung his sword down towards the Girl when a Dadao was thrown at his sword, deflecting it away from her.
A smirk grew on Raph’s face as Raja appeared above him with two shirt knives.
"Die!"
He cried out as the daggers glowed crimson red, while a trail of a red crescent arc followed his movements. He swung it down towards Raph, who suddenly slipped out of the way, grabbed Raja while he was still in the air, and pulled him downwards to the ground.
He smashed him into it and pulled him up into the air before kicking him away like a soccer ball. "You will have to do better than that!".
The girl cursed as she watched in fright, but her body had performed her next action even without her consent. If a flight doesn’t work, then she will fight.
She struck her hands against Raph’s chest, causing a loud, searing pain to echo as she glared at him. "Master Skill: Serpent imbued".
Raph felt a terrible pain spread from his chest at the point of contact with his body as he was pushed back by the force of her strike.
He was about to attack when the pain began to escalate, crawling and spreading within him like cancer, and causing him severe pain that made him groan and spit blood.
Black tears of poison and blood began to fall down his eyes and ears, and when he coughed out blood, black worms would wriggle out the blood. He squinted his eyes in confusion until a realization came to him in waves. ’That thing is a snake...and those things…..are inside me….’ He thought, his eyes widening open at the thought. ’That’s insane’.
Raja and the Girl used the moment of his confusion to rendezvous and retreat, while they watched him from a good distance.
"You used that nasty skill?" Raja asked in disgust when he suddenly coughed and held his chest in pain. He groaned lightly as they stood on top of a boulder while they watched.
The girl remained silent for a moment but then turned away. "It was inevitable. Hopefully, He will die from the snake poison, we should take care of our task". She said as she prepared to walk away.
Raja stared at her for a moment, and then at Raph before clicking his tongue and swinging his dadao while he held it.
The girl glanced at him in confusion while he began to descend the boulder.
"Where are you going?" She asked.
"To kill him. He will only become an obstacle, let’s take care of him now that he’s been poisoned". He said while they stared at Raph.
The girl had her thoughts on the matter. Something like this was unaccounted for, but she was satisfied with the result. ’....I tested my skill on you…you should be honoured.
The Master Skill, Snake Imbued, allowed her to create snakes from the living organism within a person or creature’s body. They multiply and feed on the individual from the inside out. So Raph was as good as dead, or at least that’s what she would have loved to think. ’....But Something feels wrong about him. He should be on his knees in pain, not on his feet motionless. Just what is he doing?’. She thought in confusion as she descended as well.
’We should leave’.
After their short confrontation, she had a hunch that they wouldn’t make it out alive if he were to somehow get over her poison, and she certainly didn’t want to find out.
"Raja! Let’s leave" She instructed, but the boy ignored her statement and continued to approach the hooded figure.

"Raja, listen to me. We need to leave now. That man is not our priority".
"Oh, he is now. Kicking me like that was a mistake, and I’m taking his foot for that".
She clicked her tongue in annoyance. "Hah shit! You’re so fucking impulsive! Kneel!". She held out her hand as her third eye glowed with a crimson malevolent hue causing Raja to freeze up from the command and fall to his knees.
He cursed under his breath and glared at her as she walked towards him. "Let me go, you bitch!"
"Not until you listen to me!" She said in annoyance before raising her hand in the air and striking him across his face, causing a stinging pain to assault his cheeks after a loud sound echoed.
Silence and tension hung in the air between them as they stared at each other, perhaps struggling with how to react, though it soon became apparent that they didn’t need to.
A chill wind shook them from their thoughts, as they felt a stinging cold permeate their skin.
The girl freed Raja without realizing it due to the cold, and began to hug herself as she looked around in confusion. Her gaze landed on Raph, who was still stuck standing still from the pain of her poison, only that things were different. The air crackled, and the Rocky soil began to freeze from its foundation.
’Wha–What is happening?’ She thought in confusion as she took a step back.
Raja quickly armed himself and stepped in front of the Girl, his gaze filled with murderous intent as he stared at Raph. "It seems we won’t be able to leave as you want, Malicia".
The cold began to quake and tremble, increasing in magnitude and intensity, causing white snow to form and a heavy cloud of cold darkness to sweep around them, blocking the rays of the sun like a coat of darkness and isolating them in a pitch-cold darkness.
Their bodies began to shiver with the cold, and their minds were clouded with the pain, but the tension still hung high, and so caused them to remain alert. Until the need to do so was over.
