The cold woman was already charging another attack forcing both Ruk'gar and Mark to jump to the side as a blast of frost landed where they were earlier!
But that wasn't the end.
The area that was hit suddenly formed a ball of ice before it... moved?
The ball of ice opened up exposing a plain-looking ice golem that was 6 feet tall, with a bulky frame, to which seemed rather sentient as it looked around like a lost child but Ruk'gar had an odd reaction as if he was trying to get away from something!
Mark looked to the ground near the ice golem and found the answer, this golem was freezing the area around it!
So he, too, tried escaping from the area of effect!
but when he attempted to do so the golem looked at him then that was when Mark knew better than to underestimate this creature...
As it gave him a hungry grin as the golem suddenly grew spikes made from ice as it gained a more terrifying look upon completing its transformation to its new and scary features before this creature pointed its hands at him then fired its ice spikes at him!
He sensed danger from the incoming ice spikes.
So Mark didn't bother to try blocking them and jumped to the side.
Which was a wise decision.
as the ground and some bushes in the distance became frozen before crumbling into white dust-like snow.
*GRRRAAAAAAAHHHH*
For someone to interrupt Ruk'gar's hunt was like a slap to the face, he was seething with fury thanks to this, so much that he threw one of his weapons as he released another battle cry as the half halberd dug into the back of the head of the golem!
But despite such an injury(?), it was like a tickle for the inanimate creature!
The golem looked towards the culprit of the new look that it had with a tilted head with a morphed look of confusion.
before it shrugged, yes this ice golem SIMPLY shrugged at a monster that was leading an army of orcs, before returning its attention back to Mark then started running towards him as each step it took froze the ground where it moved to, then rolled into a ball once it had gained enough momentum.
Ruk'gar angrier than ever ripped out a large piece of the ground near him the size was 4 meters originally 6 as the rest broke off as dust and small pieces of it broke off falling to the ground before doing another roar while throwing the projectile towards the rolling Golem that had ignored him!
*BBBAAAMMMMM*
The rolling ball of ice was knocked off course with dust and debris scattering about, as the ice golem had emerged from it with numerous cracks covering its body, this made the Ice golem release an inhuman cry!
All of the surrounding ice had risen from the ground and flew towards the golem, now the ice golem's attention was focused completely on the orc as Mark's attention was on the champion of ice Julia and her wyvern steed.
The two were flying in the sky not too close not too far from Mark as if they understood just how far he could throw something at them.
When he was preparing to try his 'air bullet' technique, Mark sensed something more from under him so he quickly rolled to the side before a spike made of shadows had emerged then split into smaller ones as it chased after him!
Thanks to how fast it moved this time despite the adrenaline coursing through his veins, there was a slight delay by the time he dodged it again as some of the spikes left cracks on his scales!
The sound of someone clicking their tongue could be heard before the culprit had emerged from the area where the shadow spike was.
Before a childish voice berated The champion of ice.
"For being the one entitled as one of the strongest champions, you really suck at killing a single monster!"
The person who spoke was a human male that looked around 11 or 12, wearing dark-themed leather armor that looked to be made from some kind of reptile, with his height being 5'1", a lean frame with his childish features still obvious on his face with a high bridge round pinchable nose, sharp black eyes, black hair that was kept short as it stood up giving him a spiky hairstyle, with a spear tied to his back, and a whip as his current weapon.
the Boy spoke again as his words brought the heated attention of all those of the male population that could hear it except for Mark especially since Julia nearly killed him earlier.
"Hey, Julia! when are you going to stop wearing such invigorating clothes? like seriously wearing a micro bikini armor while riding a wyvern in battle... heh what a perverted taste you have there!"
The person under such attention tried hard to control her face, she wasn't wearing this kind of armor because she liked such an outfit, it was related to her skill one of the reasons why she was staying so high and out of sight!
Her skill is called 'Ice Embracer' the more skin contact she had with nature the stronger her Ice ability would be while it did give her power, however, the damned god that was her pantheon was a very perverted one as all of his previous champions were all women according to his current taste.
She was chosen this time around for one reason alone...
Because her breasts were the biggest in this world through natural means!
Julia was a half-elf, her long blue hair fluttering through the air, her yellow eyes shined light gems in the sky, her nose, her lips, and her skin everything seemed perfect about her as her micro bikini armor barely covered her essentials as her 98cm breast threatened to pop out with every movement as they bounced about, with her 58cm waist and just above it was toned abs that kept her body straight, her 91cm hips expanded a bit from sitting on the wyvern, as her chiseled legs held tightly on the wyvern's side.
This half-elf was a mage-type champion, her but thanks to her constant training to lose some unneeded weight she became a battle mage as she preferred to fight head-on than a far but thanks to how strong her enemy was and possibly others that will join sooner or later Julia had to expose more than she'd like, as champions aren't exactly on friendly terms.
when given the chance they'd kill one another in a heartbeat.
This is why now the newcomer's words invoked her wrath before she fired an ice spear towards the boy who actually dodged the attack by merely merging with the shadows at his feet.
While the two champions were distracted a large number of bone fiends that looked exactly alike charged at Mark as they all had bloodthirsty gleams in their eyes!
Their target, however, was angry for being forced to deal with this kind of situation again before something unexpected happened, Mark's arms suddenly split into three, giving him a total of six blade-like arms before cleaving through anything that got in his way!
Ruk'gar managed to destroy the golem as numerous patches on his body were ridden with frostbite.
The orc noticed that there was another champion that had arrived one that he was familiar with as they had fought quite a number of times before even before he evolved into a demonic orc mostly thanks to the leftover magic from an attack that he had received before evolving as he sensed that the boy left him barely alive, whether if it was intentional or not he will claim that boy's head as a trophy!
*GRRRRROAR*
Ruk'gar through pebbles and rocks towards the figure clad in shadows as he charged forth, as Julia began charging another spell as colossal sized ice spears began forming as the caster was using more than half of her mana reserves to end this here and now as well as possibly finishing off the damned shadow champion.
But before she had completed the spell, black markings stretched out from the shadows of her hair then wrapped around her arms, something had taken control of her body then forced her to aim her spell... at the pier city, as a dreadful yet childish voice said this.
"Thank you for making this sooO much easier for me~!"
Julia despite her efforts to resist it was futile as the ice spears began their descent!
