Chapter 868: Ice Snow Queen—Last

"Buggy, no matter how you struggle, I will not be defeated by you! My Plain Hand Mountain-Splitting Strike will triumph over your arrogance!" Locke roared, radiating boundless fighting will from his entire body.

Buggy's attacks gradually weakened, and his body began to tremble. He realized he was facing an unbeatable opponent.

"Impossible! I will not lose to a brat like you!" Buggy gritted his teeth and said.

However, under Locke's powerful offensive, Buggy finally could not bear the burden and collapsed to the ground. His body bent, yielding to Locke's victory.

Locke stood on the battlefield, his chest heaving, radiating the light of battle from his whole being. He gazed at the fallen Buggy, his eyes revealing the joy of victory.

"Buggy, your arrogance and cruelty will ultimately be defeated! Now do you know what true power is!" Locke's voice was filled with the heroic spirit of triumph.

Buggy lowered his head in silence, realizing that his efforts before Locke had been in vain.

Locke turned to look at the child, smiling as he extended his hand.

"We succeeded, little friend. We survived this difficult battle together. Now, let us continue our adventure!"

The child grasped Locke's hand, his eyes flashing with gratitude and admiration.

Locke and the child continued their adventure, arriving at a biting sea region. Here, cold shrouded the area year-round; the sea wind pierced to the bone, as if it were a world sealed in ice. Just as they prepared to explore this land of ice and snow, a massive pirate ship suddenly appeared before their eyes.

Standing on the ship was a tall and mighty man, Clark, a notoriously infamous pirate captain. He wielded a Flame Blade and wore a red cloak; the scorching aura emanating from him made the entire sea region become blisteringly hot.

"Little ones, are you newcomers? If you wish to enter this world of ice and snow, you must pay the price! I am Clark; do you dare to duel me?" Clark's voice was filled with fighting intent and contempt.

A trace of firm light flashed in Locke's eyes as he faced Clark without fear.

"Clark, I, Locke, will never retreat! I will use my Ice Snow Queen—Last to defeat you and protect our adventure!" Determination and hot blood revealed themselves in Locke's voice.

Clark let out a cold laugh, his red cloak fluttering loudly in the fierce wind.

"Brat, do you think your power of ice and snow can defeat my blazing flames? Let me show you what true power of fire is!" Clark roared, his flame sword flashing with blade light.

Locke stared intently at Clark, icy light bursting forth from his eyes. He activated the power of Last, and the force of ice and snow surged within his body.

The battle of ice and fire began; Locke and Clark engaged in a fierce duel upon the sea. Utilizing the power of Last, Locke condensed blades of ice and snow, launching attacks brimming with cold toward Clark.

Clark swung his Flame Blade, transforming into a sea of fire, igniting towering flames, and counterattacking Locke with the power of fire.

The powers of ice and fire collided; sword light and flames intertwined, causing the temperature on the sea to rise instantly. Locke dodged Clark's scorching attacks while simultaneously condensing the power of ice and snow to form an ice wall, blocking Clark's flames.

"Clark, no matter how scorching your flames are, they cannot melt the determination of my ice and snow! I will freeze your blazing fire and make you feel the power of the Ice Snow Queen!"

Locke roared, and the power of ice and snow erupted.
