The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 482 The True Ice Princess (2)

Immediately, she activated her Ice, and the entire arena and Annaʼs water dome were frozen solid. But it didnʼt stop there; the other arena beside theirs began to be affected, causing the ongoing battles to be halted.

”You may be arrogant, thinking your water can counter my ice, but you underestimate me, bitch. I have awakened my ice, and itʼs the Frost Sovereign.”

”Now feel my ice.”

”Heed my call and answer thy master, Ice Lizard,” Ruby spoke her spell, and immediately, a 5-meter-long lizard made of blue ice appeared, radiating an ice-cold, freezing qi.

”Go.”

The lizard lunged at the ice dome, ready to slam Anna to the ground. The ground began shaking as the Lizard charged at the frozen dome.

However, a chilling voice spoke from within just when the lizard was a meter away from the dome.

”Eternal Ice: Ice Possession, take over thy foe.” A spell circle appeared beneath the lizard, causing it to stop in its tracks.

Ruby, who was commanding the lizard, frowned. She had lost connection with it. This could mean only one thing: Anna had taken possession of her ice lizard.

To confirm it, the lizard turned around and faced her.

”You can have your toy back. Charge!” Anna commanded, and like a brute, the lizard charged forward, sending the attack back at its master.

”Bitch, you dare?” Rubyʼs eyes narrowed, radiating coldness. She raised her staff and activated ice spears, which decimated the lizard before it could get within a meter of her.

Then she charged forward, stabbing her spear at the ice dome.

Anna smirked as she watched Ruby charge forward at her. She knew she shouldnʼt underestimate her ice, but she also didnʼt want to look weak even though her own ice hadnʼt awakened yet.

But as Klausʼs woman, she had to show some finesse, so she waited for her to draw near. She focused on the ice dome, feeling the energy within it.

”Letʼs see how you handle this,” Anna muttered to herself.

The ice began to crack, building pressure from within. Runy was speeding toward her when suddenly...

”Boom!” Anna shouted.

In an instant, the dome exploded, sending shards of ice flying outward. The force blasted Ruby off her feet, sending her flying back across the arena.

Ruby landed hard, sliding across the ground, but she quickly regained her footing, her eyes full of fury.

Inside the spectator area, Klaus, Nari, and the others continued to watch Annaʼs battle with great interest.

”I think Anna will win, seeing as she has the upper hand even without using any powerful spells yet,” Lily said, watching her friend and sister with a happy smile.

”You are underestimating her opponent, Lily. So far, she has only used two strong spells, but her energy level hasnʼt dropped yet. Iʼm afraid Anna might lose this battle,” Klaus said.

With his eye of malevolence, she could see the energy level of an opponent, and right now, he could tell Ruby was still packing too much punch for her size.

Watching as Anna raised her staff and unleashed a barrage of ice shards, Klaus could only smile and hope she realized her opponent had hidden her strength pretty well.

Ruby defended against the attack and unleashed her own. However, Anna also defended it.

Suddenly, Ruby activated a spell that immediately changed everything for Anna.

”From my essence, let the frost weave and form ice shadows to mirror my might. Ice Clones!” A spell circle appeared behind Ruby, causing the already freezing arena to grow even colder.

Three ocean-blue replicas of Ruby appeared. However, instead of wielding staffs, one held a bow, another a sword, and the last a dagger.

”Show your powers,” Ruby said, bursting into resounding laughter as her three clones charged at Anna.

”Winds of the frozen north, heed my call—unleash your fury upon my foes: Cryo Tempest!”

Anna finally got serious as she unleashed a spell that instantly conjured a massive snowstorm and icy gales, creating hazardous terrain in the Arena.

The storm pushed back the clones charging at her, but the one wielding the dagger managed to pass through.

”Ice Rhino!” Anna unleashed the first skill Klaus had given her. A four-meter-tall rhino made of ice appeared and charged at the two clones.

Another rhino appeared and charged at Ruby.

However, just as Anna was about to summon a new one, the dagger-wielding clone appeared behind her and thrust the dagger forward.

Luckily, Anna was ready for something like that, and since the rhino had taken Rubyʼs attention off controlling her Ice clones. This momentarily delayed the cloneʼs attack, giving Anna a chance to defend.

Anna stabbed her staff at the clone backward, destroying it.

At the same time, the sword- and bow-wielding clones were also destroyed. But the two rhinos perished as well.

”Futile,” Ruby sneered. At the same time, the spell circle behind her glowed, and six clones appeared.

Two wielded swords, two bows, and two daggers.

Ruby sneered.

”All you have to do is destroy these clones, and their numbers will only increase. Keep destroying them, and more will come. Letʼs see how long you can hold on.” Her laughter echoed across the arena.

Then, the clones began their assault. The two wielding bows fired ice arrows while the sword-wielding ones charged into action. The dagger-wielders, however, circled menacingly, looking for an opening.

This spell was like having different forms of clones that could be controlled with the mind. However, Rubyʼs version was slightly different.

Her clones performed preset actions dictated by the spell, but she still had to control their movements manually. Explore new worlds at

This adjustment significantly reduced the mental strain on Ruby, but the pressure would increase as the number of clones multiplied.

All Anna had to do was keep destroying them, and eventually, Ruby would be forced to stop using the spell. But doing so would require Anna to go all out, and at the moment, her ice abilities were far weaker than Rubyʼs.

However, Anna had something Ruby didnʼt. Thanks to Klausʼs generosity, she possessed a powerful cultivation technique.

In addition to that, she had a vast arsenal of spells—hundreds of them. With enough Qi, she could unleash utter devastation on the battlefield.

The only thing holding her back was her lack of Star Qi. She was halfway there but still fell short. Meanwhile, Ruby was at the third level of core formation, making the gap between them even more apparent.

Naturally, Anna stood little chance. In terms of ice potency, she was outmatched. In terms of stamina, she fell short again. But in terms of spells, she had the upper hand with her vast array of techniques.

And so, Anna decided to rely on her spells, tapping into her arsenal and hoping for the best.

She began by raising a crystal barrier around herself. Ruby responded in kind.

”By the whispers of winter and the iceʼs edge, let the frost shards take flight: Frostbound Arrowcraft.”

A two-layered spell circle appeared behind Anna, mirroring the one behind Ruby. But instead of clones, two-meter-long ice spears materialized and began raining down.

The clones were quickly decimated, but more emerged to take their place, multiplying their numbers.

”Hahaha, letʼs see how long you can keep this up, slut,” Ruby sneered again.

This time, Annaʼs anger flared.
