At the same time, the Ice Phoenix Queen also fell into a violent state. Not long after, the hard ice scales covering its body that kept on rising with the evil spirit quickly disintegrated. Without warning, they burst out in all directions, causing havoc in the area.
These innumerable ice scales resembled small meteorites falling from the sky.
As a result, several pits were created on the ground right after they had landed and produced loud booming sound. Many spirit manipulators failed to dodge the incoming shower, leaving them either seriously injured or disabled after being hit. On the other hand, the ice scales that fell on the ground quickly turned into ice demon shadows. As soon as that happened, they began to surge towards the spirit manipulators led by Marcia and the Phoenix Master Clan members, preventing them from moving further.
At that moment, a myriad of ice demon shadows sped into the crowd. Immediately, the shadows exploded and transformed into overwhelming light, completely blending the identities of the enemies and the allies.
Each of the ice demon shadows' explosion caused damage to at least ten meters around it. However, there were countless ice demon shadows that exploded, which meant that it covered a range of at least hundreds of meters around the Ice Phoenix Queen. In the blink of an eye, about forty spirit manipulators were killed, while some members of the Phoenix Master Clan were severely injured from the destructive force.
Not long after, the situation returned to total chaos as the demonic monsters took advantage of the opportunity to move forward and destroy everything in their path as they approached the Ice Phoenix Queen.
Despite Rocky being in charge of the whole situation, he knew he needed the help of the seasoned leaders with him. Without hesitation, he asked the spirit manipulators, including Marcia, and Alyssa to assemble another line of resistance in the fastest way they could. Judging from the current status, it was difficult to stop the demonic monsters because the ice demon shadows that decomposed from the Ice Phoenix Queen were like suicide attacks. Soon after, many demonic monsters approached the most powerful ancient demonic beast. These demonic monsters transformed into broken souls and merged with the ancient demonic beast inside Ice Phoenix Queen's body.
As the merging of the broken souls deepened, the queen's demonic nature became stronger with every passing second.
Without warning, the queen opened its mouth, and a beam of breathtaking spiritual power came out of it. Immediately, it swept towards the spirit manipulators and the members of the Phoenix Master Clan like a huge tsunami. At once, more people were killed and suffered tremendous injuries from the blast.
Rocky's eyes turned cold, and Felicia's face turned as gloomy as dark clouds upon witnessing such a horrific scene. In fact, she found it so heartbreaking because the spirit manipulators that she brought with her were almost the elites of the Magic Phoenix Empire, the Holy Dragon Empire, and the Timber Deity Empire. She had believed that the team was already unbeatable in the face of the Ice Phoenix Queen, but she could never be more wrong at that moment. Sadly, the combined strength of their forces turned out to be so minuscule and vulnerable compared to the power of the possessed queen.
Of course, it was known that the ancient demonic beasts treated the spiritual race beings as their source of food since the emergence of the spiritual race. Therefore, there was no doubt that those beasts were extremely powerful. And now, the one possessing the Ice Phoenix Queen's body was the most powerful ancient demonic beast at that time. It was no wonder why Rocky and his team were suffering great losses.
Not only the elites of the human beings, those members of the Phoenix Master Clan who fought that day were also shocked and turned deathly pale upon seeing the dreadful aftermath of the demonic beast' attacks.
However, at that time, the main purpose of Rocky and the others was to buy themselves some time and wait for the Phoenix Master Clan's reinforcements.
As time went by, the casualties became heavier, with more and more warriors getting killed from one explosion after another. In fact, the front line blocking the demonic monsters also fell apart under the violent impact of the ice demon shadows and demonic monsters. Soon after, the whole situation became very serious.
Moreover, those broken souls of the demonic monsters which were unable to be completely destroyed quickly possessed many of the spirit manipulators, turning them into demonic monsters as well.
Rocky saw this and thought that if the situation went on like this, more and more of their remaining spirit manipulators, who were only less than a hundred, would transform into demonic monsters in a short time.
Clenching his fists in frustration, he turned to Felicia and said, "Preceptor Felicia, we can't go on like this. When will the reinforcements of the Phoenix Master Clan arrive?"
"I am not certain, but I think they are already on the way." Felicia shook her head in dismay.
