Chapter 3343 Ice Dance
"Now that you are ready, please enter the banquet hall. Remember, you cannot stop within ten minutes, otherwise you will fail."
The maid behind them reminded with a smile, then watched them push open the door and walk into the banquet hall.
The ice sculptures that were still just now were now dancing in pairs. Some of them formed a band by the wall, and the music they played was very soothing.
Shade was originally holding hands with Miss Sabel, and after finding a good position with her, he put his arm around her waist.
The sorceress was obviously not used to his behavior, but she decided to treat herself as an ordinary adventurer this time and did not dodge.
So the two of them began to dance to the music. Shade discovered that the amnesiac Miss Sabel didn't need his guidance at all when she danced. It seemed that she had received similar systematic training and therefore retained muscle memory.
Their attire was not actually suitable for a dance, with Shad wearing a black winter coat and trousers, and Miss Sabel wearing his coat and scarf, but when they really started dancing, they worked together very well, as if they were already very familiar with each other.
Even the sorceress was surprised at how well they got along.
Miss Sabel was about 1.72 meters tall, and she wasn't wearing high heels, so she had to look up if she wanted to see Shade up close. One looked down, the other looked up, and they both felt a little awkward after staring at each other for a moment, after all, strictly speaking, they had only known each other for less than fifteen minutes.
But after Shade smiled at her to adjust the atmosphere, the blonde girl felt her face turn red again for some reason:
"This guy is really good-looking."
She thought to herself, then moved a little closer to him, making her dance more fluid.
However, both Shad and Miss Sabel felt that the current situation was a little absurd. Dancing with a group of ice sculptures in such a "forbidden zone of life" was something that probably only happened in the most bizarre dreams.
The two danced while being alert to possible dangers around them. At first, they did not communicate, but then reminded each other about the dance steps. Then, as the music became more cheerful, the distance between the two gradually became closer.
The blond girl felt even warmer because of this. She was embarrassed to look at Xia De again, but she felt that the man in front of her seemed to be becoming more and more friendly.
Three minutes after the dance began, Xia De made small talk and said:
"Have you recovered some of your memories now?"
The girl, who felt her heartbeat speeding up for some reason, nodded slightly:
"Some of my memories are reviving. I should be from an aristocratic family. When I was a child, I had a tutor who taught me dancing lessons. But I don't like balls and have never danced like this."
She also cares about Shade:
"Keep sharing your soul temperature with me. Are you okay now?"
The temperature of the soul comes from the power of the soul, just as fire can melt ice but can also be extinguished by the ice; excessive use of the temperature of the soul will cause the depletion of the power of the soul.
But there is divinity in Shad's soul:
"It's okay for now. My soul is stronger than most people's. Even the soul of a thirteen-ring warlock may not be able to compare with mine."
The girl, who was feeling warm at the moment, fully agreed with this:
"In the past, I mean in the memories I still have, I never thought that I would be helped like this by others. You are a good person. If I can survive, are you willing to talk to me about your story?"
She was laying the groundwork for what was to come, and Xia De was of course willing to do so. Perhaps he could learn more about the island's past through this, but the prerequisite was that the other person was someone who lived within the past fifty years.
The girl, who had not been protected by others for a long time, closed her eyes after receiving the promise, and then, without Xia De's expectation, she took the initiative to lean her head on his shoulder. It was a little intimate, but not really intimate - at least that's what she thought.
On the one hand, she wanted more warmth and peace of mind, and on the other hand, she wanted to relax after a long time and tried to let others protect her from the wind and rain.
After all, the responsibility is too heavy.
But the peace did not last long. The girl who was dancing with Xia De's footsteps suddenly heard a strange "humming" sound. She opened her eyes and looked sideways. She saw a large piece of silvery ice powder being thrown at them by someone.
Before she could fight back, she heard Xia De sighing softly in her ear:
"Time and space freeze!"
At that moment, it seemed as if the entire palace was resonating with the power used by Shade. In the eyes of "Miss Sabel", the man who was hugging her, without calling out the life ring, or even preparing in advance, or chanting a complete spell, almost completely solidified the entire space and time with just a sigh.
Although on the surface it seemed that she was just freezing the ice powder in the air, as a master of the power of time, she could see the terrifying nature of it - using the cold to freeze time rather than directly manipulating time itself.
This is a force in completely different directions from the "Adele's time stillness" he used in his dream. He may not have gone as far on the road of time as himself, but he obviously took another path.
"It's amazing."
She praised softly, and Shade didn't understand what she was praising, but he found that although magic spells such as fire could not be used here, the power of the ice system was indeed greatly enhanced.
The ice powder was spilled by an ice sculpture of a dancing female figure. Although he didn't know what it was exactly, Shade still put his arm around Miss Sabel's waist and walked away from that area.
Since "Chloe's Space-Time Freeze" can only target inanimate objects, there is no restriction on selecting only one target at a time, so he kept the piece of ice powder solidified in the air.
The girl, who was almost leaning on his arms, moved her lips:
"On the road of time, you have truly walked out a path that is unique to you."
Xia De smiled and said:
"No, no, no, the magic you used in your dream and now were not created by me. It was just two very good ladies who taught me this power. Well, the latter one was actually just the 'seed' given to me by that lady, and I let it sprout."
The "seed" is [Chloe's Ice Echo], which is a part of the essence of the Witch Emperor's power given to Shade.
Miss Sabel nodded slightly, and as Shade spun her around with her skirt fluttering, she was actually thinking carefully in her heart, besides herself, which other high-level warlock in this era has such a talent for time:
"But he actually has two teachers? How disloyal."
She was a little bothered by this.
The coldness spread as the ice sculptures danced, and it was even colder here than when they first came up. But the sorceress was closer to Shade at this moment, so she kept warm in Shade's warm embrace and didn't feel too much discomfort.
She even felt that this action of being almost hugged by him was very familiar to her, but after checking all her memories and even the imprint of time, she could not find the source of this familiarity.
While she was daydreaming, four groups of dancing ice sculptures surrounded the two of them from four directions. When the men were required to hold the women and spin again, the four female ice sculptures spun with their skirts, and their blue ice blades flew towards the two people in the middle.
"I'll do it this time. You keep dancing and don't change your moves, or that mean maid will say something about us."
The sorceress was still unwilling to admit defeat. She was also being held by Shade and spun around, but she was able to see four targets at the same time in a short period of time. In order not to reveal her identity, she did not use her best skills, and during the spin, her skirt also swung out four translucent light blades.
The collision between the light blade and the ice blade only caused the latter to deviate slightly. However, it was precisely because of these slight changes in direction that Shade found the right opportunity to completely lift Miss Sabel up and lift her legs off the ground.
Then the four ice blades collided under her brown boots, and a complex ice lotus exploded at that location.
Even though they were picked up by Shade, Miss Sabel's boots and Shade's shoes were frozen because they were close to the ice lotus, which made them unable to move.
But the freezing speed this time was not as fast as before, so the sorceress, who had been hit twice, would not repeat the same mistake this time. Before the ice spread to her calves wrapped in long boots, a golden dial appeared in the sorceress's right eye.
As the pointer turned back, the ice layer on her feet slowly receded. Although the attack was not personally carried out by the ancient demigod witch, the castle originated from the power of the demigod, and it was extremely difficult for her to resist.
The normal scenery seen by her left eye suddenly changed at this moment. When the two reappeared in the other direction of the banquet hall, she realized that the man holding her used the method of space movement to avoid the area just now.
And Shade was wondering why Miss Sabel was so "heavy". It took a huge amount of energy to jump through space with her, but then he thought it might be due to the influence of the environment.
After being away from the "Ice Lotus", the ice on his body melted faster than the sorceress could reverse time. After all, Shade's basic resistance was higher and there was really fire in his body.
When he finished his next move, he put Miss Sabel on the ground. Only the bottom of the sorceress's boots still had some ice on them, but she still fell into Shade's arms:
"Sorry, my legs are a little numb."
"It's okay. I'll dance with you until you're completely back to normal."
Xia De nodded to show his understanding, and looked around to prevent any more accidents. At this time, the "dance" had already reached the sixth minute, and it was very close to the end of the ten minutes.
"But I have to give you some praise. Your use of the power of time is very sophisticated."
While observing the surroundings, Xia De still had the energy to chat with her:
"You can reverse time at your level. Such a small amount of spiritual output can cause such a significant effect on time. I couldn't do this when I was at your level."
She was quite embarrassed by Xia De's compliments. As she leaned in his arms and was carried by him, she whispered:
"I can teach you when this is over."
Unfortunately, Xia De didn't hear this, because while the sorceress was speaking, the surrounding ice sculptures surrounded him again. Xia De didn't want to come into direct contact with these things, so he moved through space again, and was forced to continue wandering among the ice sculptures.
PS: In order to prevent some readers from thinking that the author deliberately weakened Shade's strength so that he didn't recognize who Miss Sabel was, I need to explain this in advance. In fact, I will explain it later -
Being the leader of a small group doesn't just mean she can lead others. As a leader, she has power that other members don't have. Plus, the current venue weakens perception, so Shade didn't recognize it.
