Chapter 21 - Feeling Cold

The ice demon's former body wasn't made for physical combat but long distant battles. However, the new form has given the strength and durability it needed. Its true power of ice can also be used in congestion.

In a normal sense, any human would have been frozen by the castle's cold but Zamright wasn't even feeling the cold. The demon has to use physical means to suppress him.

It dashed, its speed has tripled from the initial one and also the oval ice crystal above it head followed which increased the cold of the already frozen castle.

On Zamright skin, frost began to spread which made him smile, 'Finally, I can feel!'

Due to how deep he buried his emotion and feelings, his mind stopped processing normal sensations. But now the intense cold was reminding him that cold does exist.

That was not all, as the oval crystal flashed with light, icicles rain down on him and a misty cold wind flew toward him and washed over him.

The mist thickened around him and the icicles surrounded him at the speed of bullets. They cut any escape route due to their number.

All these happened while the demon was just half way toward him.

But Zamright closed his eyes and spread out his hands, relishing the moment. He allowed the cold mist to pearmeat him, and he breathed it in and breathed out warm air.

He reduced his mental fortitude and allowed him to feel the brunt of the cold in every possible way, just like an ordinary person should.

His body became pale before it became faint blue, his breathing turned smoky before it was no longer that. His heart beat was strong but it too stopped beating.

Apart from his attire, his hair froze, his heart stopped and he became like an ice statue of a young boy of 13 years in a spread up hands posture.

The icicle that surrounded him slammed at him and shattered upon contact which further frozen body.

The ice demon immediately forced stop without reaching him.

Creatures of this world were never stupid, they didn't live long lives by luck or chances but by cunning and strength.

The Ice Demon stopped because it knew that the frozen cold had done a better job, no need to use more force. Beside that may cause a reaction that may make the human anomaly escape.

The Ice Crystal above her head buzzed again and the mist it was releasing increased which some of it turned into a large Icicle with an extraordinarily sharp edge.

But as it made that, six arms materialized, grabbing multiple parts of the demon body and yanked very hard. This distracts it for a moment but it has already sent the large icicle.

This icicle alone has a chilliness that can freeze a century-old vampire and when it is near the already frozen Zamright he becomes more rigid. And certainly the icicle wasn't all about piercing but much more.

It reached Zamright's closed eyes at breakneck speed and as it touched him, it melted and spread, sipping through the frozen body skin pores and then moving inward.

His blood that hadn't frozen before froze, the cold went to his brain and wrestled for more control. More than that, a symbol of a coffin appeared above his head before it solidified.

~Ice Coffin~

An unholy word echoed around, announcing the type of spell used. People with knowledge about this kind of power will know that this kind of spell is called Force Buckle.

It's a power to stabilize a state of ability and make it unbroken until certain conditions are met or certain actions are performed.

The Ice Coffin has been Buckled with the Ice Castle, as long as the castle stands the coffin will remain.

While that was happening the six armed creature was battling the demon and the creature was somewhat winning but the moment the Ice Cuffin was buckled up, the demon yanked it away and threw it away. It has no distraction now.

It jumped high in the sky and the now dimmed Ice Crystal pulse with light and cold mist spread out attacking the six armed creature.

It faded away to smoke and escape but as if the mist had become alive, it followed.

The Six Armed Creature ability was turning into a smoke-like substance, in this form it can phase through objects and even can possess some of them.

But the cold mist was strange, it can't phase through it without becoming tangible and if that happened, it would be frozen just like Zamright.

As it was escaping, the Ice demon trembled and turned around the castle. Minute hair size cracks were silently appearing on the Castle walls.

Tens of eyes of the ice demon veered and looked at the frozen Zamright and the small Ice Coffin above his head.

Nothing was happening to it but then a sound like a thousand tiny cracks appeared on a glass. With the ice demon heightened sense and its connection with the castle she saw countless hair-size cracks on every part of the castle.

And the Force Buckle of the Ice Coffin spell was gone.

Zamright's body began to thaw slowly and he breathed in a cold breath and his eyes fluttered, trying to open.

The ice demon dashed, multiple hand weaves together becoming one large and a very tough steelike carapace grew on it.

The ice demon's intention was to shatter the frozen body. Meters away, Zamright hand thawed faster and he threw something so fast, even to the demon it was just a blur.

A profound sense of fear gripped it and then everything went white.

It knew something had hit it but that thing first disrupted and destroyed the Ice Crystal power Source and then the force of impact was so profound that its body broke apart and it blasted back.

Blood spread everywhere painting an eerie beautiful crimson on the pale blue ice.

Zamright's body should have been decorated with the same crimson liquid but the six armed creature covered him.

"Thank you Six arm!" a voice muttered from behind the big six arm creature but clearly the creature didn't like the name as it growled eerily.
