Chapter 149: Was it thrilling that you almost got killed?

The sudden attack caught Elsa completely off guard, and it was only thanks to Miya’s timely push that she narrowly escaped a fatal blow.

Elsa, having tumbled to the ground, ignored the pain and hurriedly looked up, only to be horrified by the sight of the Ice Wolf man she thought she had defeated reappearing before her.

However, this man had completely transcended the boundaries of humanity, his entire body covered in silver fur, and his boulder-sized fists had transformed into exceptionally massive, sharp claws.

He had evolved from an Ice Wolf man into an Ice Wolf Beastman.

“Did you really think that your pathetic, tickle-like magic could knock me down? Stop dreaming! Now, let me show you my true power!”

With those words, the Ice Wolf Beastman used his massive tail to swat Miya away.

“Useless trash, get lost!”

“Miya!”

Elsa couldn’t help but cry out in worry.

“You’d better worry about yourself right now!”

The Ice Wolf Beastman charged at Elsa again, swinging a claw toward her head.

Elsa jumped backward frantically, barely managing to evade the strike.

But the powerful shockwave from the beastman’s strike hitting the ground still sent Elsa flying a considerable distance.

Before she could even land, the Ice Wolf Beastman closed the gap with agile strides and was in front of her again.

Fortunately, she hadn’t exhausted all her ice walls earlier; a few pre-set ones remained in the clearing.

Elsa immediately summoned these walls to protect herself, desperate to buy time for a counter-offensive spell.

She wasn’t like Charlotte, who could cast magic while ignoring the incantation. Although Master Mashiro had taught her how to significantly shorten chanting time for rapid attacks, even that was too slow to deal with this creature’s sudden onslaught.

She could only rely on her pre-placed magic to stall for time.

‘Where on earth is Charlotte?’

‘In the message I left earlier, I specifically named her to come here and help!’

‘Now the moon is directly overhead, and I haven’t seen a single hair of that girl!’

‘If this keeps up, I really won’t be able to hold on!’

Although Elsa hadn’t fallen into a total panic under the beastman’s assault, his strength had clearly surpassed her imagination.

Before Elsa could even finish her incantation for a freezing spell, the Ice Wolf Beastman shattered all her pre-set ice walls with a single claw and swung a massive palm toward her.

With no other choice, Elsa was forced to interrupt her chant and jump back again, trying to put distance between herself and the beastman.

But the Ice Wolf Beastman’s speed far exceeded her own; running away blindly was utterly futile.

Before Elsa could land, the beastman caught up with a single step. She didn’t have time to think and immediately performed a high-speed chant to manifest an ice wall in front of her for defense.

But the moment the ice wall appeared, the Ice Wolf Beastman shattered it effortlessly. Elsa’s body took the full force of the massive impact, and she was sent flying ten meters away, slamming into a wall and falling to the ground, unable to move.

Elsa felt as though several of her ribs had snapped, and a bone-chilling pain radiated through her entire body.

She tried to stand up to continue the fight, but her hands wouldn’t stop trembling, and she couldn’t muster any strength.

‘This is bad. If this continues, I might actually die here!’

However, after knocking Elsa down, the Ice Wolf Beastman didn’t rush to finish her off. Instead, he walked over to Miya, grabbed her by the hair, and dragged her toward the magic circle they had set up earlier.

There was nothing wrong with the placement of this magic circle; even if only one small Earth-Splitting circle was activated, it should be enough to cause a small crack in the grand defensive barrier of Tsumuguri City.

Time was running out; he had to activate this Earth-Splitting Magic Circle immediately.

However, just as he threw the screaming Miya into the center of the circle and prepared to activate it, a wind bullet suddenly shot from the side. It hit Miya with pinpoint accuracy, launching her into the air like a hit baseball. Under the cover of night, she vanished from sight in a heartbeat.

This sight sent the Ice Wolf Beastman into a fit of rage. Losing his precious magic source meant the Earth-Splitting Magic Circle could not function as intended.

He turned his fierce gaze toward Elsa, who was slumped at the base of the wall not far away. Seeing her gasping for breath while holding her wand, it was clear that she was the one who fired the wind bullet that blew Miya away.

“I intended to deal with you last, but it seems you can’t wait. In that case, I’ll grant your wish!”

The Ice Wolf Beastman appeared beside Elsa in an instant, and with a heavy stomp of his right foot, a powerful shockwave caused Elsa’s body to fracture and bleed.

Then, with clinical precision, the Ice Wolf Beastman swung his sharp claws. Like preparing food ingredients, he carved shallow but numerous non-lethal wounds all over Elsa’s body.

Blood splattered from the wounds like a rose in full bloom, scattering across the surroundings.

Finally, the Ice Wolf Beastman swung his right claw, completely impaling Elsa’s body in a single strike.

At this moment, Elsa hung from the beastman’s claw like a tattered rag, motionless.

He tossed her broken body to his feet. Her eyes were glazed, her body convulsing, and her life was clearly entering its irreversible final countdown.

“Hmph, this is the price for interfering with the Chief of the Ice Wolf Clan!”

Leaving those words behind, the Ice Wolf Beastman turned to leave, satisfied that no one could interfere with him anymore.

Although the person intended to activate the Earth-Splitting Magic Circle was gone, it didn’t mean he was out of options; he could still use his own blood to trigger it.

The Ice Wolf Beastman walked to the very center of the magic circle and prepared to use his sharp claws to cut a wound on his arm to let the blood flow. Suddenly, sensing something strange, he whirled around to look.

He saw Elsa, who had been on the verge of death just moments ago, now eerily rising from the ground. The splattered blood seemed to reverse through time, returning to Elsa’s body, and the wounds upon her vanished miraculously.

Seeing this, the Ice Wolf Beastman’s eyes widened in shock.

But the changes occurring to Elsa were not yet complete. The cat tail swaying behind her gradually thickened until it became a massive wolf tail, and the two small cat ears on her head grew significantly larger. Her pupils shifted from golden cat eyes to blood-red, savage wolf eyes.

It was as if Elsa had undergone an “Ultimate Evolution” after her brush with death, entering a state of beastification that boosted her combat power dozens of times over, much like the Ice Wolf Beastman.

However, Elsa’s beastification was incomplete; only her right hand had transformed into a sharp claw, while her left hand and both feet remained in their original human form.

But even so, the Elsa before him left the Ice Wolf Beastman utterly terrified.

“What? The Silver Wolf King?!”
