THE BATTLE OF 1000 SPIRITS

CHAPTER 10: ETERNAL WINTER

The Holuka Sword covered in flames slashed towards Mili quickly, as long as Mili was hit by this slash then he would definitely die.

But unknown to everyone, when they thought that Mili had given up, Mili's eyes opened and there was an inexplicable determination seen through his eyes "How could I have died here when I was far from my destination? Actually I am not interested in using this power too often, but since it is now a state of life and death then I have no other choice. Open Core-Insert".

Mili was planning on using his core attack which was the strongest attack for every spirit, so Mili was now planning on using the strongest attack he had.

But just before Mili opened his Core Attack, the figure of Myro lying on the ground rushed to his feet and ran towards Mili.

Myro raised his right hand which was covered by a bandage then caught the Holuka fire sword directly.

At first everyone thought Myro's right hand would be crushed under the ferocious slash from Holuka, but they were again startled by what happened next.

"But!".

Under the look of disbelief from everyone, Myro caught Holuka's fire sword wearing his bare hands, myro's right hand that captured Holuka's sword was not at all as injured as what everyone thought.

While Holuka was still shocked and soon did not understand what was happening, Myro muttered "Eternal Winter".

From Myro's hands, white smoke was visible which immediately covered the area around them. The flames on the Holuka sword also weakened further, then the temperature in the air decreased rapidly.

The trees around turned into ice, some of the Marquis' soldiers froze either part of his limbs or all of his limbs.

Not just the trees and people, the plants under their feet all turned into ice as if they had all returned to the ice age.

Looking at the rapidly changing circumstances, Holuka found the hand that caught her sword disappearing, but she did not know where Myro was going because the white smoke disturbed her sight.

This white smoke is formed due to a collision between fire and ice that causes the ice to melt quickly and then evaporate into smoke.

Despite not knowing where Myro was going, Holuka understood that Myro was trying to escape in the smoke.

Without hesitation, Holuka raised her sword, the flames gathered like a storm and she simply slashed forward "Don't think you guys can escape from my hands!".

"Booooom!".

The flames that gathered like a storm over everyone's head gathered towards the Holuka sword, then he slashed his fire sword onto the ground which caused a powerful explosion just now.

The white smoke around disappeared due to the force of the explosion, most of the ice also melted because it was burned by the fire used Holuka.

"Where did they go?", asked Holuka who closed her eyes, she felt the circumstances around to really make sure that Myro with Mili had disappeared from here.

Jirfa's figure walked towards Holuka while saying "They're gone, I can't afford to feel their presence around here anymore. But the man who came to help Mili earlier was very strange, based on the strength he used, he should only be a rank 2 warrior. The problem is that Eternal Winter is magic for rank 5 magicians and above, how could rank 2 use rank 5 magic?".

"Not only that", said Holuka with a gloomy face, he stared at his sword "The boy had managed to catch my sword with his bare hands! Let alone rank 2, even rank 5 warriors, as long as they dare to try to catch my sword slash with their bare hands, they will definitely lose their hands. But that kid actually managed to capture my sword unharmed, who exactly is he?".

"You're right, we still have a lot of unknowns about the man who was the reason for our defeat" Jirfa agreed "But we haven't lost, yet, they are lucky to have escaped our hands".

Holuka shook her head "The next opportunity, Mili is likely to have recovered from the poison we secretly administered while she ate! Therefore, the next one will be very difficult for us to kill Mili. There are at least 1 advantage that the child who helped Mili was already heavily injured, he must have died who lived a matter of time".

Jirfa nodded in agreement, but he suddenly thought of something "What if Mili recognizes the person as his master? After all, after making a contract with the spirit, as the master, they will gain the spirit's quick recovery ability".

"No way, you yourself know what kind of person Mili is" Holuka said convinced "He is a proud man, how could he acknowledge others as his master? Moreover, he always remained loyal to the kingdom, I doubt he would follow others so easily. Let's stop talking about this matter, the most important thing is to find Mili as soon as possible. If we're lucky, we might be able to find it before the poison in his body recovers".

"You're right, let's move separately to find them. Whoever finds the enemy first, they have to give word to the others to gather" Jirfa said.

After the 2 people agreed with each other, they began to tell the Marquis to divide the troops and move in 2 different directions, looking for Mili and Myro.

Although the Marquis suffered a loss that was not light given that there were many of his soldiers dead, the Marquis gritted his teeth to withstand the loss. After all this was a Battle of 1000 Spirits, he had to be prepared to bear losses like this from the start.

As long as he kills Mili, all his losses will pay off.

.....

Mili was carrying the injured Myro and had difficulty walking on his shoulders, he stopped in front of a cave located between the rocks of the valley and the trees which made his location quite hidden.

Ensuring that this was the correct cave, Mili asked "Myro, is this the place you mean?".

The injured Myro spoke with difficulty "True, I came here once and found this cave by chance, its location was completely hidden so that the enemy would not find us easily. Although they searched through the entire forest, as long as we hid in this cave, I'm sure they'll take more than 1 day to find us".

Mili nodded, taking Myro to hide in the cave and letting Myro lie down on the ground.

Myro who was lying on the ground spewing out a mouthful of blood, the wound he had received from Jirfa was truly fatal, already formidable enough for Myro to be able to survive until now under such a fatal wound.
