Chapter 3298: Resting in the Ice Room

Dancing while dodging everywhere was interesting, but the area of the banquet hall was limited after all. Soon Xia De and Miss Sabeier were forced to the center of the banquet hall by the group of ice sculptures. So the ice sculptures that were rubbing shoulders just now all dispersed to the wall, leaving only the last group of ice sculptures dancing in the crowd like them.

Miss Sabeier felt that her legs had basically returned to normal at this time, but there was still some discomfort:

"Ten minutes is almost up, what is this letting us do?"

"Have a bad premonition."

Xia De's premonition was not wrong. The two groups of four were dancing, and the male ice sculpture dancing had an extra one-meter-long ice sword in its right hand, while the female ice sculpture dancing had an extra old-fashioned ice gun, which was even more excessive.

Without giving the two of them a chance to complain, the two groups of dancers who were five meters apart in the center of the banquet hall met directly.

The music became impassioned at this moment. The ice sculptures held hands and spun in place. So the ice sword swung out ice blades with bone-chilling coldness with frost mist, and when the ice gun's trigger was pulled, continuous light bullets flew toward the two.

The skirt of the ice sculpture turned into wind blades, and while the two ice sculptures were spinning, ice-blue air currents circled around them. That didn't look like something that should be directly touched.

"Lagley's Jump" could not be used at this moment, but Xia De, who was also holding his partner's hand and spinning, already had a gorgeous silver greatsword in his empty left hand.

At the same time Miss Sabeier was surprised to see that sword, he had already swung the longsword to scatter sharp moonlight toward the ice blades and light bullets. That pure light was more elegant than any dancer at this moment, and the gorgeous brilliance even added color to this castle.

"Don't just stand there, help counterattack!"

Hearing Xia De's reminder, the surprised sorceress hurriedly cast a spell. She chose to release light bullets just like the female ice sculpture dancer. Seeing the other party constantly approaching, she released a shield to cover the two almost at the same time as she spun with Xia De.

So the maid saw the two groups of "dancers" holding hands and spinning constantly throwing various energies and attacks at each other. After colliding with each other, they bounced off each other with a *bang*, continued to throw various attacks from a distance, then contacted again with a *bang* like spinning tops, and then continued this process.

"Truly unseemly."

She evaluated it like this, and calculated that the time was almost up, so she manipulated the ice sculptures to perform the "last dance."

So the two ice sculptures that were bounced off by the shield again did not approach Xia De and Miss Sabeier again this time. They even gave up continuing to attack, and retreated to the wall while dancing with the music that became soothing again.

Although Xia De and the girl in his arms didn't know what was going on, they took this opportunity to retreat in the opposite direction.

"Thirty seconds left."

Miss Sabeier reminded. Xia De nodded gently and remained most vigilant.

Immediately after, the female ice sculpture suddenly threw away the gun, and then with a movement that would absolutely not appear in a ball—one hand grabbed the partner's neck, one hand inserted into the partner's waist, and directly lifted the male-looking ice sculpture up.

"Hmm?"

The lifted ice sculpture turned into an ice-blue light, and then in the process of the female ice sculpture jumping into the air, it directly turned into the purest ice power.

The female ice sculpture, which jumped high with her legs split in the air, held that ball of light at the edge of the banquet hall, aimed at the two who were hugging each other in astonishment, and then threw it directly at them.

"Wait, this can also count as dancing!"

This time it was no longer the kind of attack that could barely be dealt with while dancing just now. Miss Sabeier could almost be sure that even if they blocked this move, the aftermath of the diffusion of spirit and elements would completely freeze the two here.

At this time, she could no longer hide. She wanted to rush forward to block the other party's attack, but in the next moment, she felt her feet leave the ground. It was Xia De holding her with one hand and jumping into the air—if he let go, she would be frozen.

She knew that with Xia De's power, it was absolutely impossible to block the other party's blow head-on, but she saw with her own eyes that he spun in the air with his sword, and then the silver moon greatsword in his hand pointed forward.

The familiar but somewhat strange form of power made the sorceress extremely astonished, just like another demigod who was missing Xia De now, who was also surprised that Xia De could really learn her best miracle.

The moonlight greatsword in the air touched that ball of ice-blue light, and then, following the movement of Xia De holding her and continuing to spin, turned it into ice-blue lightning wrapped around the longsword:

"Adele's Regression Principle!"

"Regression principle... he actually learned it."

As the longsword whirled, it drew blue ink-like sword marks around the two, and then the longsword swung forward again, and the ice-blue electric light slashed toward the ice sculpture that had landed. But just as the other party was about to be hit, the maid standing by the wall said softly:

"It's over."

So this powerful attack dissipated directly in the air, and the ice sculptures that were like living things just now all turned back into dead objects.

As the music stopped, Xia De also landed from the air. Miss Sabeier supported him. At this moment, his face was also a bit pale. The consumption of using "Regression Principle" in this castle was really not small:

"I'm fine, just take a few breaths."

But she still looked at him with worry, especially when she found that even though Xia De consumed so much, the hand holding her was still steadily providing her with soul temperature.

The sound of high heels hitting the ice surface appeared, and the maid walked over and evaluated very fairly:

"Guest, you showed a very beautiful dance, especially the spinning you cooperated with at the end, which was truly gorgeous. You passed the second-floor test, please follow me to the third floor. Of course, the number of companions that can be added is now two."

Miss Sabeier was already too lazy to question the last attack. She didn't like this maid:

"Before going to the third floor, can you give us some time to rest?"

"No, I don't need it."

Xia De hurriedly shook his head, but the sorceress was very strong:

"No, you need it."

She thought the maid would speak meanly again, or simply ignore her request. But the maid looked at Xia De and nodded gently:

"Yes, please go to that room. After twenty minutes of rest, we will set off again."

Miss Sabeier looked at her suspiciously, but the maid didn't look at her at all. She led the two back to the corridor and then signaled that they could choose any room from the rooms on both sides of the corridor to rest.

The rooms here were all of the same style. Entering the door was the living room, and then there were separate bedrooms, bathrooms, and cloakrooms. Of course, except for a few silk fabrics and cloths, everything else was made of ice.

Miss Sabeier picked one at random and walked in with Xia De. I don't know what will happen on the third floor, so Xia De barely agreed to rest for a while.

After entering the room, he first rummaged out thick quilts and cushions and put them on the sofa, and then sat down with Miss Sabeier.

His physical exertion was actually not great, mainly the consumption of spirit was a bit serious. So after sitting down, he went to rummage for potions that could restore spirit. First, he rummaged out "Snow Mountain Water", but it froze as soon as it was taken out; then he found the priest's "Angel Elixir", and as expected, it also froze.

Finally, he took out the small bottle of pink perfume. This time it didn't freeze. However, Xia De looked at Miss Sabeier and put it back. His spirit was lacking, but it hadn't reached the point of life and death. He didn't want to use this in Chloe's place.

"The potions are all frozen, right?"

She asked, and then saw Xia De stuffing some tea leaves into his mouth to chew, thinking that Xia De was forced to eat potion materials directly. In fact, he was using the "Tea Extraction Method" of the Green Dragon Maid Miss Vilde to restore spirit. Although he rarely used this method, it was indeed effective.

"It would be strange if they didn't freeze. I hope that after leaving here, they will thaw again and the efficacy will not be a problem. These things are not cheap."

Xia De said with a bitter face. Of course, the biggest problem was not that they were not cheap, but that the production was limited.

"Sorry, if it wasn't to take care of me..."

The girl wrapped in a coat and scarf around her neck was quite guilty.

"Don't say such things, it was my choice to thaw you from the ice."

He continued to chew the tea leaves. Because of the existence of the miracle 【Candy Making】, these things that could be regarded as "food" by Xia De had turned into the sweetness of sugar:

"This should also be considered a kind of wonderful fate. At that time, there were so many ice sculptures, but I happened to choose you. Although I don't believe that fate has arranged everything, since it happened to be me who met you, and you met me, we should leave here together."

"Fate, ah..."

Thinking of the special relationship that might exist between the two, and thinking that this man indeed chose himself from hundreds of ice sculptures outside the castle gate, the yellow-haired girl also believed it was just some kind of "fate".

"Intertwined fate."

The girl's face was flushed for some reason:

"Don't say so much, you should rest for a while. The potions I carry are basically unusable, but I know many recovery miracles, I will help you..."

"You should save your physical strength and spirit to deal with the problems next. You are only at the Seventh or Eighth Tier, don't push yourself. Although I said I would protect you, you can't leave yourself no way out."

Xia De refused, which made the girl angry and moved in her heart. For a moment, she really wanted to admit who she was, but the words reached her lips and she couldn't say them, because Xia De suddenly said:

"How could I forget this!"

He tried to use his right hand to reach into his left pocket, but doing so was quite awkward. In the end, Miss Sabeier, after getting permission, rummaged from the right pocket of Xia De's coat, touched a pocket watch according to his request, and took it out.
