Chapter 149: Failed Attack

’There’s something wrong with this beer. Can it be another creature that can also fight against those that are way above its level?’ Olivia asked herself with some doubts.

At the same time as Olivia was thinking this, she kept on increasing the amount of energy that was holding together the ice prison.

It might be true that the function of the ice prison was not much during this moment, but, the longer the bear stayed inside the ice prison, the more the amount of ice energy was going to penetrate its body.

And with that happening, the movements of the bear were going to be hindered. And, the ice attacks that Olivia was launching were going to be more effective on the bear. In this way, she was going to be capable of dealing with it sooner, before the other two monsters decided to make a move.

She knew that since the bear had been sent forward fast, then, that implied that, the other two were way stronger than it. So, if the leader of the monsters was actually capable of commanding a level 4 bear, then, just what level was it? Olivia could not help but wonder.

At the same time as she was trying to hold together the ice prison, she also took the frost dominator sword. The sword was currently enveloped in ice.

Olivia then began approaching the ice prison slowly. She could feel that the amount of energy that was being consumed in maintaining the ice prison was increasing as time went by. It seemed that, the bear was attacking even more ferociously as time went by.

And, with the increase in the strength of the attacks, it required a lot of energy to maintain the ice prison. Knowing that there was yet another group of monsters that needed to be dealt with, there was no way that Olivia was going to use a large amount of energy in order to deal with the bear.

At the end of the day, the bear was actually the weakest. If she used a lot of energy to deal with it, then, that implied that, by the time that she would be colliding with the other monsters, then, she was not going to be capable of winning the fight.

Currently, Olivia was approaching the ice prison because she wanted to find a chance so that she could utilize the sword that she was possessing in order to deal with the bear once and for all.

At the same time as she was moving forward, she was also keeping an eye on the other two monsters. And, during the fight between her and the bear, there was not even a single monster in the surrounding area. It turned out that they had all fled from this area, to make sure that they were not caught in the aftermath.

The battle between Olivia and the bear was of a high magnitude. That implied that, even just a single attack from them was capable of killing a large number of monsters that had not yet reached the Bronze rank.

After Olivia approached and reached the distance that she deemed to be the most suitable, she finally stopped providing the ice prison with energy. And at the moment that she stopped...

Bang!

The ice prison was broken and it suddenly broke into pieces that fell onto the ground, making the area seem like it had just snowed.

The bear, completely enraged at the fact that it had been trapped inside a cube that was continuously attacking it from the inside, it immediately roared. Then, it looked at Olivia who was not far from it with its reddened eyes.

The claws of its right paw began shining with a silvery light. At the same time, the claws elongated a little and became even sharp.

When Olivia saw this, she was a little surprised. She could not help but wonder just how many skills this bear actually possessed. Additionally, she finally understood the reason why the amount of energy that was required to maintain the ice prison was high. It turned out that the bear was using this skill to attack.

The bear did not have the patience to wait and give Olivia the time to think about the reason why it possessed the skills that it currently had. It launched forward, completely unrelenting of the fact that all this time, it had been prevented by Olivia from reaching her.

Olivia however did not move away like she did the previous times. Instead, she stood in the same position, taking a stance as if she was about to attack. At the same time, she kept an eye on the movements of the bear, and the distance between the two of them.

The bear raised its claw and attacked. And as the claw dropped, even the air was torn apart as a swoosh sound was produced.

Just a few centimeters before the claw landed on Olivia, space around her twisted. And in the next moment, she disappeared.

Booom!

The ground where Olivia was standing previously was immediately blasted into pieces. A large crater was immediately formed, as a large cloud of dust was raised into the sky.

Just as the bear was confused about the disappearance of Olivia, it suddenly detected that there was danger behind it. But still, it was not able to react in time because everything happened in just a blink of an eye.

Olivia had suddenly disappeared and appeared behind the bear. She had utilized the teleportation skill that allowed her to teleport within 20 m around her.

Pufft!

The sword that was covered by ice managed to pierce through the skin of the bear. Since when the bear attacked, it had brought its upper body down, Olivia had targeted that part, aiming the sword towards the bear’s neck.

She had already estimated the distance that she was supposed to teleport, and at the same time, she had also calculated the distance according to where she was standing. Since the bear was attacking her, then, it was sure that it was going to land its claw that was attacking her on that spot.

Olivia frowned again. She realized that, just after she had attacked, the sword managed to pierce through the neck of the bear. But, it had not gone deep when suddenly, it was prevented from moving any further.

Roar!

The bear roared angrily after feeling the pain and the cold energy that was invading its body thoroughly this time. After all, it had come into direct contact with the blood, unlike the previous terms that it had to penetrate through the skin.

Without hesitation, it waved one of its paws towards Olivia. It was intending to crush her with this move. Only then would the anger that was surging within it calm down a little.

Olivia who had been expecting that by launching this sneak attack on the bear, she was going to be able to at least stab through the neck, was caught completely off guard.

Although she was always paying much attention to her surroundings, she had not expected such a result. So, she had not made enough preparations for this. But still, she was able to react in time. She began retreating at an incredible speed after pulling out the sword from the bear’s neck.

But, the speed at which she was retreating at could not match the speed at which the attack was heading towards her. Knowing that no matter what, this attack was going to hit her, Olivia raised her hand, making sure that she blocked the area that might cause her to be wounded fatally if they attack landed on her.

Bang! Boom!

The attack landed heavily on Olivia’s crossed hands that she was using to block the attack. And at that moment, she felt as if she was hit by a running train.

As a shockwave was produced, Olivia was thrown backwards for almost 100 m. At the same time, she felt that the hands that she was using to block the attack were completely numb. At the same time, the bones inside were injured, almost fractured.

Cough! Cough!

And as she landed heavily onto the ground, Olivia’s pupils dilated. She coughed twice due to her back hitting the ground heavily.

Olivia knew that had it not been for the fact that her hands were actually protected by the armor that she was putting on, then, they would have definitely been crashed by the bear.

She had never expected that the bear possessed such incredible strength. Although it was true that she knew that the bear was strong, she never expected that it was this strong.

Still, knowing that the fight was not over yet, she managed to stumble back to her feet only to realize that, the bear was once again charging towards her.

’Don’t think that there is going to be a second time that you are going to hit me.’ Olivia thought to herself. And in the next moment, she summoned an ice spear. The eyes spear immediately rushed towards the bear. And at the same time, she also activated the ice prison.

She had realized that the speed at which the bear was rushing towards her had also reduced. That implied that, although they attack that he had launched previously had failed, but still, it had managed to do a lot of damage to the beer.

Bang!

The bear managed to crash the ice spear that had been launched towards it. But still, it was forced to retreat a few steps backwards. And then the next moment, the very familiar ice cube appeared around it.

Having already felt the frustrations that came with being trapped inside of this ice prison, the bear was not willing to be trapped within it again. So, the moment that the ice prison began forming around it, it began attacking maniacally. But, no matter how much it attacked the ice prison managed to solidify, trapping it within it.

What followed next was that, a large amount of cold energy suddenly began seeping out of the ice prison. And, due to the wound that the bear had suffered, the circulatory system of the bear was finally exposed to the cold energy. So, the cold energy managed to penetrate into the body of the bear in large amounts.
