At this point of time, Paolo was already unstoppable. With a single swipe, it grabbed and froze the Frost Lord. They were both snow sprites and thus should have the same level of control of Ice Elements. However, for some unfathomable reason, Paolo seemed to be more powerful in its control of Ice Elements than the Frost Lord.
Therefore, Paolo was able to completely suppress the Frost Lord while the latter was not even able to control a single Ice Element.
Once Paolo devoured the Frost Lord, there were two possibilities. If Paolo failed, it would not be a problem. On the other hand, if Paolo succeeded, it could potentially become a powerful Eight-level Wizard. Moreover, it would become one of the top Eighth-level Wizards who were so powerful that they were acknowledged even during the Spell Casters' most glorious era.
