Chapter 407: Chapter 407: Paying the Price

He Yalan could only shed tears of frustration.

She didn’t dare to utter a single word of resistance.

"Stop it!"

Ye Xuan walked over to the two of them and stopped Tang Xuerou’s actions.

"Don’t stop me, we were fighting for our lives out there, but what about He Yalan? She can only cry and do nothing else; she’s just dead weight, utterly useless!"

Slap!

Ye Xuan gave Tang Xuerou a slap across the face.

"This is not the time for infighting. If you insult Yalan again, don’t blame me for being rude!"

Ye Xuan’s expression turned ice-cold.

Although He Yalan’s combat strength truly cannot match his and Tang Xuerou’s at the moment.

But that is the norm for a Recovery Master.

If a person who changed class to a recovery role has combat strength surpassing those of the offensive classes.

Then where should the offensive classes put their faces?

Tang Xuerou, with half her face flushed red, defiantly asked, "You’ll be rude? How rude can you be? If you can’t come up with a solution for our current situation, does it even matter if you’re rude? We are going to die anyway!"

Tang Xuerou despondently sat sprawled on the ground.

Clearly, due to the extreme situation, she no longer wished to conceal her true self.

Ye Xuan, however, simply chuckled and said lightly: "Who told you that we are definitely going to die?"

"At a time like this! You still have the mind for jokes!"

Tang Xuerou glared at him angrily.

She thought Ye Xuan was simply unreasonable.

The situation at hand could genuinely be described as a slim chance of survival.

Yet he still said that they might not die.

Such optimism, to a certain point, is simply heartless.

But Ye Xuan just smiled and said no more.

His gaze, however, remained fixed on the distant headless knight, Dullahan.

Even the skeletal horse beneath him was now enveloped in blue flames.

The headless knight charged straight toward the icy surface where Ye Xuan and his companions stood.

Simultaneously, the native giant Aoshao made its move.

Its huge mouth suddenly emitted a thunderous roar.

Clearly, it had released its own skill, Sky-shattering Roar.

During the roar’s duration, including Ye Xuan, the three of them could not use any skills.

Furthermore, they would be stunned! They could do absolutely nothing.

But Ye Xuan, wearing the Dragon King Phantom Robe,

Had the negative effects reduced by 50%.

So, despite the dizziness in his head,

He stood up with great effort.

"Ye... Ye Xuan? What... are you going to do!"

Tang Xuerou, lying on the ground, saw through her blurry vision,

Ye Xuan staggering towards the giant Aoshao.

And the roar of the giant Aoshao was becoming more intense.

Ye Xuan even felt his eardrums were being penetrated.

A cool, sticky liquid oozed out from his ears.

Seeing that these insignificant humans were still alive,

The Aoshao raised its heavy forelimbs,

And stomped down heavily on the ice where Ye Xuan and his companions stood.

...

"Forbidden Spell, Absolute Zero!"

In this space filled with despair,

A violent white light suddenly burst forth from the center of Ye Xuan.

The endless sea before him,

Was instantly covered with solid ice.

And the figure of the native giant Aoshao,

Was forcefully frozen in place.

[Forbidden Spell, Absolute Zero]

[Active Effect: Applies an unblockable Freeze effect to any target in sight, lasting for 30 seconds.]

[Passive Effect: Increases the chance of instant-kill by Ice magic by an additional 50%.]

Compared to the skill description of the Endless Black Flame.

The forbidden spell, Absolute Zero, seems much simpler.

But simple does not mean weak!

First of all, Absolute Zero’s active effect is to cause an unblockable freeze status!

This means that even a malevolent dragon with resistance to negative effects.

Like the last encounter with Dragon King Hades, will have to obediently be frozen for 30 seconds when facing Absolute Zero.

Secondly, it’s the passive effect of Absolute Zero.

An additional 50% increased chance of instant kill for Ice magic!

What kind of concept is that?

That means, if Ye Xuan casts Absolute Zero and then casts Blizzard,

The enemies in a frozen state have a 53% chance of being instantly killed every second.

If you include the amplification from [Divine Dragon Tribulation].

That would be 54%.

And the duration of Absolute Zero is 30 seconds!

If it weren’t for the fact that the native Aorun dragon in front of us has the trait of Immunity to Instant Death,

With just this one skill, Ye Xuan could kill it dozens of times over.

But Ye Xuan is also clear.

There are no ifs in reality.

Even without relying on the passive effect of Absolute Zero,

It itself is a control skill with excellent effects.

...

After the Xuan Water Aorun dragon was frozen,

Its annoying roaring finally stopped.

Ye Xuan, He Yalan, and Tang Xuerou,

Finally had a moment of peace.

Tang Xuerou lay on the ground like a dead fish,

Complaining from her mouth: "If you have such a strong skill, why didn’t you use it earlier?"

Ye Xuan glanced at her and did not speak again.

Any extraordinary means requires a price to pay.

After Ye Xuan casts a forbidden spell, not only is there a risk of his Spiritual Power instantly depleting,

But his physical strength will also be greatly drained.

The entire person will be in a brief state of weakness.

"Ye Xuan... are you alright?"

He Yalan approached Ye Xuan, asking with concern.

As childhood friends who grew up together,

She acutely noticed the powerlessness of Ye Xuan after casting that Ice magic.

Ye Xuan gave a weak smile and then said: "I’m fine, just a bit tired. Oh right, Yalan, do me a favor..."

Ye Xuan pulled out the [Tears of Jealousy] from his inventory.

Then he said to He Yalan: "This bracelet when infused with Spiritual Power, can create phantom clones. Go to the primeval Aorun dragon and use this item..."

Meanwhile, Tang Xuerou mistook the whispered conversation between the two,

Thinking that Ye Xuan and He Yalan were planning to escape without her.

So she quickly shouted: "Are you going to leave me behind? I won’t let you leave that easily!"

Ye Xuan was now somewhat incapable of tolerating Tang Xuerou’s annoying nature.

So he pointed to the also frozen Headless Knight in the distance and said: "Look over there!"

Tang Xuerou instinctively turned her head, only to see the black-armored Dullahan.

She went weak at the knees and sat down on the ground, terrified.

"I almost forgot, this thing also teleported with us... Wait, are you thinking?"

Being clever, Tang Xuerou quickly grasped Ye Xuan’s plan.

Ye Xuan gave a light smile and then said: "You guessed right, the Xuan Water Aorun dragon has the trait of Immunity to Instant Death, but the Headless Knight’s Midnight Nightmare trait is not about instant kill.

But about causing the target to die completely, so, perhaps this headless black-armored Knight can bypass the primeval Aorun dragon’s defense, right?"

Tang Xuerou took a sharp breath.
