Battle Aura Wings of Ice: With ice as your bones and battle aura as your wings, soar across the skies a thousand miles.
Battle Aura Ice Husk: Possesses an incredibly strong self-regenerative ability. The effects of ice, earth, water, and battle aura abilities are increased by 30%.
Battle Aura Ice Sword: This sword has thoroughly removed any frills and garnishes, being composed solely of ice and the sword’s attacking desire. It is more pure and thus more sharp. Battle aura can also be used to control the sword.
Ice Whirl: Uses battle aura to assist with teleportation. It has a longer reach and faster traveling speed, and is even more quiet than before.
Battle Aura Storm Toss: Through the adding of battle aura to the ice storm, its explosion’s strength greatly increases.
Ice Spirit Attack: In addition to its stupefying effect, this skill will also disrupt the opponent’s body’s internal operations to some extent.
Ice Protection: Forsakes a defensive form to instead use battle aura for protection. Its defense is more comprehensive, and it can also protect allies.
Frost Warrior: Summons a warrior comparable to a mid-tier commander to assist in battle. The size of the warrior can be either big or small.
Frozen Point Fist: After releasing a punch, combat aura and ice mix together, increasing its attack range.
Four Aura Seal: Uses the ice crystal tree that carries battle aura fruits to seal the enemy. After restricting the enemy’s movements, it will accumulate energy. When enough energy is gathered, it will explode and annihilate the enemy.
This series of changes increased Jon’s strength tremendously. He felt that he could even defeat those griffons now without using any skills.
Then, he looked at his current rank: overlord-tier!
An overlord—one who exerts control over a given region and is the strongest being there. A ruler over all beings. It was the equivalent of a hero in the human world.
Talents: Triple Sword Desire, Armor Penetration, Battle Aura Ice Husk, Ice Elemental Mastery, Battle Aura Wings of Ice.
“I can try to break the fetters of this small space and leave now.”
Jon’s power had vastly increased. As long as he used his fists to “convince” the elemental creatures in the camp to cooperate with his plans, he might be able to break the point where this deity-created space and the outside world exchange energy. From then on he would be able to leave this space.
He spread his Battle Aura Wings of Ice and flew towards the elemental creatures’ camp at once.
Just as he was about to approach the camp, several figures came up to him and blocked his path.
Though they weren’t truly blocking his path, as they only stood on the ground. Jon stopped regardless though.
He landed on the ground and faced the couple of elders who came to welcome him.
“What do you intend to do after leaving and returning?”
The old water elemental asked.
“The world outside is very big. I want to take you all out to see it.”
Jon laughed.
“Take us out? How? When I came in, I was still just a little girl. Now, I’ve grown up. Nothing has ever escaped from this world before.”
The deep sea water demon, one of the elders, said angrily.
“Haven’t you guys already known how? Gather everyone’s strength and break the energy exchange point between this space and the outside world.”
With Jon’s current strength, he might not be able to tear apart this deity-created space. However, with the combined strength of more than a hundred people, it might not be impossible to do with Jon as the vanguard.
“Shut up! Do you wish to destroy our hometown? I was born in this place, and this is my hometown. If you want to leave this place, you’d have to attack the energy exchange point with the outside world. But as soon as that point were to be destroyed, this world would very likely collapse. I won’t let you do this. None of us native creatures of this land will agree to you doing this!”
At this time, a rough and angry voice sounded. It was one of the elders, the steam element.
“Heh.” Jon raised the white greatsword in his hand that was dyed red. “If I can’t persuade you with my words, then I’ll just have to use my sword to reason with you instead.”
“Hahaha!” An elemental creature walked out from behind the three elders. It was the guard, a level 22 elite water elemental. “You think you can challenge our elders? You’re just a level 15 mutated creature of some unknown species. You couldn’t beat them in a hundred years. Hey! Arrogant brat, I’ll take you down!”
“Alright, then I’ll use you as my sacrifice. Let’s do it.” Jon said nonchalantly.
The elite water elemental guard’s eyes were filled with fighting spirit. It was the guard of the camp and the sharp blade of the elders. It was the protector of the camp and the forerunner of protecting the dignity of the Elders Guild. Any creature that dared to violate the dignity of the Elders Guild it would definitely kill!
“Dancing Water Chain!”
The elite guard roared loudly. The elemental power in his hand gathered into a chain and it immediately threw it at Jon.
Jon felt a little awkward. Such a weak water chain could easily be defeated by either his combat aura ice sword or his combat aura storm throw, but the problem now was that he was here to be reasonable. If he killed the elemental, it would inevitably arouse the resentment of the onlookers.
He was not afraid of offending all the elemental creatures. Jon wasn’t even afraid of them attacking him all together. But the issue was that if it really came to that point, and if he really killed everyone, who would he enlist in help for escaping this space.
Therefore, he needed to be careful when attacking. He had to win seamlessly, but at the same time, he couldn’t kill anyone.
“Ice Spirit Attack!”
After thinking about it, Jon could only use this move. He was worried that even a normal punch would be enough to kill the elemental, so he could only use this kind of skill that did not have any actual damage and would only cause a stun.
The water elemental guard was stunned in an instant. Additionally, Ice Spirit Attack would interfere with its target’s ability to use skills now that it has been enhanced. Right as it was about to hit Jon, the water chain reverted back to regular water under the influence of this ability.
The Battle Aura Wings of Ice spread out behind Jon’s back at once, and a sudden gust of wind blew forward. The elite guardian was blown to the ground and did not get up for a long time.
“H-how did he suddenly faint? What happened?”
The elemental creatures watching the battle immediately looked at each other. Basically no one knew how Jon had defeated the guard.
“He’s much too strong… Can the elders even take him down?”
The elemental creatures whispered among themselves and began to discuss carefully.
The three elders did not have a good look on their faces either. When they had seen Jon again, they felt that he was very strong, but they did not expect that the level 22 elite water elemental guard would be defeated so swiftly.
Jon pointed his sword at the three elders again,
“It’d be too troublesome to beat you lot one by one. You guys can fight me together and save me some time.”
The moment these words were said, the entire place was in an uproar. The elemental creatures began to discuss even more intensely.
“Is he insane? With just being at level 15, he wants to fight three elders at once? There’s no way he can win. The elders will definitely take their rage out on him and kill him!”
