Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave novel Chapter 284

"Icy Seal! Freeze!"

"Crackle!"

After reaching the sword tip, these snowflakes suddenly turned into ice crystals. In an instant, they covered Zen's right hand. Soon, the right half of Zen's body was frozen.

Zen frowned as these ice crystals covered his hand. He used force to break them. However, these ice crystals were not normal. Even with the enormous power running through his body, Zen couldn't do anything to them.

"Ha-ha! They are not standard ice crystals. You can't break them with brute force. So what are you going to do with them this time, little boy?" Bob smiled coldly as his Icy Seal froze Zen.

Instead of panicking, Zen looked at Bob with calm eyes. There was even some contempt in his expression. With a sly smile, Zen raised his left hand. In the next instant, the Emerald Crystal in his arm suddenly erupted in bright red energy.

"Bang!"

Zen used his left fist to pound his right arm. A blood red mark glowed on the ice crystals covering his arm. And then, the blood red mark spread like a cobweb.

Next, Zen clenched his right fist and freed himself from the ice crystals.

"Lash..."

The Icy Seal on his right arm and body was instantly broken into tiny pieces of ice crystals.

"That's impossible!" Bob couldn't believe what he had just seen.

The Icy Seal was the quintessence of his power. He had spent a lot of time and effort making it work. The Icy Seal was so challenging to master that Bob hadn't succeeded until recently.

This was the first time that he had used the Icy Seal to fight against his enemy.

Bob's father had once told him that only burning life vitality of a person at the Illuminating Soul Realm could break the Icy Seal. It couldn't be broken by other kinds of force, let alone brute force. That was why Bob thought he could defeat Zen by using the Icy Seal.

'What the hell is he?

How could he break my Icy Seal?'

Bob felt as though he was going crazy. What had happened was an unprecedented blow to a proud man like him.

Bob was sure that Zen could see through all his moves. Any counterattack by Zen could push him into the abyss of death. He didn't know what to do.

'Why can't I defeat him? I've never lost to anyone!' Bob questioned himself.

Bob was a proud man. It was his pride that made him improve in martial arts so quickly.

He never allowed himself to lag behind others in any way.

But at the moment, the fact that he had lost to Zen had destroyed his pride and self-respect, which plunged him into melancholy.

At the thought of this, his eyes turned red, and the expression on his face grew ferocious. A wild voice shouted in his heart, 'I will never allow myself to fail!'

"Go to hell!" It was a fact that Bob had lost to Zen. The only way to rectify that was to kill Zen.

Although Bob might not be able to kill Zen using his strength, as a child of a top seven noble clan, he had an ultimate weapon with which to save his life.

Bob dropped his sword and lifted his hand. A golden rune, namely, the Golden Holy Rune, appeared in his palm. This was his ultimate weapon.

The Golden Holy Rune was small in size, but it cost the Pei Clan a fortune to have it tattooed on Bob's hand.

They had instructed Bob to use it only as a last resort.

Bob's life was not in danger and Zen didn't intend to kill him, so there was no need for Bob to use the Golden Holy Rune.

Bob, however, was now in complete turmoil. He didn't want to reflect on and face his failure.

He wanted to kill Zen. Only by killing Zen could Bob face himself.

Just as Bob was about to raise his hand, Zen kicked him in the head.

Zen had felt the horrible power contained in the Golden Holy Rune. If Bob used it against him, Zen would either die or be seriously injured.

A minor matter such as the fight between Bob and Zen was not reason enough to kill a person. So Zen thought that knocking the crazy man out was the best thing to do.

After being kicked, Bob felt as though he could not see anything. He stumbled back a few steps and then fell to the ground.

"Oh my god! Bob is down!"
