Chapter 55 Hidden Motives, A Single Fatal Strike
This was just one scene that unfolded here.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of nightwalkers simultaneously revealed themselves, charging towards the Abyss Well.
They were almost frenzied, unafraid of death.
And they moved swiftly, with considerable strength.
In an instant, they were already close to the Abyss Well.
As Leona saw this, her eyes flashed with aloofness.
"How dare you act in the palace."
As soon as Leona finished speaking, she took a step forward, and frost instantly spread out.
The few nightwalkers at the front were instantly frozen into ice sculptures.
Then the ice sculptures shattered with a crash, and several nightwalkers died on the spot.
Lisa was not to be outdone, and a staff appeared in her hand.
She waved the staff, murmuring obscure and incomprehensible incantations.
Immediately, the bodies of the nightwalkers charging forward began to explode.
At the moment of explosion, instead of blood splattering, they turned into ice blocks.
The palace guards also reacted at this time, quickly gathering to form a resistance.
At this moment, a nimble woman among the nightwalkers turned into a shadow and leaped out from the crowd!
"Whoosh!"
A green-glowing throwing knife flew from her hand, clearly poisoned.
The knife split into nine in mid-air, then into eighty-one, and the palace guards hit by them did not die immediately but turned into statues.
"Medusa's poison!"
Lisa's face changed dramatically, and she waved to her staff again.
Eighteen ice crystal chains spread from all directions, trying to bind the female assassin.
But the female assassin was so fast that she was hard to catch with the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, she was already behind Lisa.
Lisa was shocked.
Her body instantly exploded, turning into snowflakes drifting away.
Moments later, she reformed her appearance.
However, she was already breaking out in a cold sweat.
If she had been a bit slower just now, she might have been petrified.
The female assassin's attack was missed, but Leona's attack had already arrived.
A massive ice magic circle appeared above the female assassin's head, and countless ice spikes descended.
The female assassin wanted to run, but her legs had already started to freeze.
The female assassin slapped the ground, shattering the ice, and turned into a shadow, charging towards Leona.
Leona's expression changed slightly.
As a mage, she feared high-output assassins the most.
Especially now, with no one to protect her.
Just like before, the female assassin instantly appeared behind her, the poisoned dagger stabbing toward her.
A crisp sound.
The dagger struck an ice shield.
The massive ice shield instantly cracked and then shattered with a crash.
When the ice shield shattered, Leona was already nowhere to be seen.
After forcing Leona back, the female assassin did not pursue but turned into a shadow, charging towards the Abyss Well.
Her goal was not to kill but to break the seal of the Abyss Well.
"Stop her!" Leona shouted.
In the distance, Lisa raised her staff, ready to act.
But she just thought of something and paused.
Grelorin's previous reaction had already proven that Leona had used some method to harm Grelorin.
If these nightwalkers were stopped and Leona really killed Grelorin, it would be good for Stellaria.
But for her, Lisa, it would not be a good thing.
After a brief hesitation, Lisa deliberately slowed her pace, pretending to be preparing a big move.
Leona couldn't care about anything else at this moment.
She was very clear about the pros and cons involved here.
Therefore, she had to stop this female assassin!
Ice wings appeared behind her, and she turned into a shadow, rushing towards the female assassin.
However, she had only taken a few steps when a pitch-black tentacle instantly wrapped around her.
"Dark magic!"
Leona was furious, and the ice elements around her exploded, breaking free from the dark tentacle's restraint.
But the female assassin had already reached the two white-robed elders.
The dagger sliced through the air.
The two white-robed elders remained calm, and just as the dagger was less than a foot away from them, it suddenly stopped.
The female assassin suddenly knelt down.
A magic circle appeared above her head, and she felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her, rendering her immobile.
Just as she was being suppressed, another figure charged out from the nightwalkers, shrouded in a black mist, his form flickering as he rushed towards The Abyss Well.
Leona roared.
"Frost: Call of the Ice Maiden!"
She raised both hands above her head, and instantly, snow began to fall from the sky.
Wherever the snow touched, all the nightwalkers were frozen.
Even the flickering black shadow was frozen.
"Sister, attack!"
Leona urged.
She had frozen the black shadow, giving Lisa the opportunity to unleash her big move.
Lisa's face turned somewhat grim; she hadn't expected Leona to be so desperate, even consuming her core power.
But now, if she didn't act, she would be exposed.
An ice vortex appeared at the female assassin's feet, swallowing her.
Leona's face darkened.
The female assassin was already suppressed by the two formation masters.
Attacking the black shadow was the correct choice.
But she had no time to think because the black shadow had already broken through the ice and was rushing towards the Abyss Well.
Leona could no longer continue her attack.
The two formation masters hadn't expected Lisa to attack the female assassin, and at this distance, they couldn't form a powerful formation to suppress the black shadow in time.
Leona clenched her fists, knowing that there were still Stellaria's strongmen hidden in the shadows, but they hadn't stepped out, so they naturally wouldn't act.
Later, they could claim they weren't present.
After all, there were quite a few people with the same thoughts as Lisa.
Before Leona's return, Stellaria's factions were already quite clear.
If Leona rose to power, then these people would have to reconsider their alliances.
Therefore, the best way was to prevent Leona from rising.
So, Stellaria's situation wouldn't change drastically.
Leona's eyes narrowed, a cold gleam flashing in them.
She had already guessed.
"Do I have to use my trump card?"
A powerful force within Leona began to awaken.
If no one acted at the last moment, she would have to reveal her trump card to stop the black shadow.
"How dare you!"
At this moment, a furious shout rang out, and a female general holding an ice sword and wearing ice armor descended from the sky.
The moment she landed, cold air spread in all directions.
Ordinary nightwalkers were directly frozen by the cold air and then shattered into ice blocks.
The black shadow saw the newcomer and fled frantically like a mouse seeing a cat.
However, the female general swung her ice sword, and a slash of icy sword energy split the black shadow into two, turning it into two ice sculptures.
Then she pointed her sword, and the two ice sculptures shattered simultaneously.
After finishing, the female general's gaze swept over Leona and Lisa.
"All you ever do is scrap for power and dough. Is this the pitiful state your might's fallen into?"
