Chapter 29: Chapter29-Slaying the Mythical Koi
Under Harrison\'s gaze, the attributes of the Mythical Koi became undeniably evident, compelling him to marvel at its might.
The constitution index of the Mythical Koi soared to an astounding 250 points.
From Harrison\'s experience, such numbers were exceedingly rare and truly breathtaking.
Yet, could there truly be only one such Mythical Koi in this vast lake?
Especially given the heart-stopping tumult just moments ago – could it really have been caused by a mere koi, albeit one spanning several meters in length?
It just seemed too implausible.
As Harrison was lost in thought, the icy surface of the lake suddenly crackled violently.
It wasn\'t just their immediate vicinity; fissures appeared all over the lake\'s frozen expanse, as if warning everyone that the threat was not limited to just one Mythical Koi.
With the ice continually trembling, one, two, then dozens of Mythical Koi emerged from beneath, as if proclaiming the lake as their dominion.
Each Koi radiated menace, every movement showcasing their formidable power.
Swiftly scanning his surroundings, Harrison mentally began to estimate their numbers.
To his astonishment, there were at least a hundred of these majestic creatures.
Every single fish was a precious golden entity, representing an immense treasure trove for Leo.
Leo\'s eyes sparkled brilliantly, his exhilaration evident.
With a quivering voice, he exclaimed, "So many golden creatures! I can finally advance my profession. This time, I\'m certain of success!"
A hint of regret shone in Harrison\'s eyes.
He mused that if they weren\'t in this Enchanted Realm but outside, possessing these golden creatures would mean more than just fulfilling their quest—it would be a guaranteed fortune.
Icethorn turned his attention to Harrison, a thoughtful gleam in his eyes, "Harrison, can you still use that ice-based skill of yours?"
Harrison gave a slight nod, remarking with a sense of appreciation, "Thanks to your Ice God Grimoire, my skill\'s cooldown has been reset. However, with my current strength, I can\'t wield it on my own."
He continued, "But we can give it a shot, to reinforce the lake\'s icy surface."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Harrison began chanting the skill.
A profound chill emanated from his palms, converging into a frosty magic array.
He released this cold energy onto the lake, endeavoring to solidify the ice layer further.
The power of the Heart of Ice was fully manifested in this moment.
The Heart of Ice, now at level 2, spanned an area of six thousand square meters.
When it reaches level 5, it could encompass a staggering ten thousand square meters.
As a D-level skill, Harrison could roughly cast the Heart of Ice consecutively about thirty times.
After all, the higher the skill\'s rank, the more wisdom it consumed.
The magic from Heart of Ice seemed to draw strength from distant galaxies, each resembling sapphires against the night sky.
Guided by Harrison\'s gestures, they soared and ultimately descended into the icy lake.
Every Heart of Ice that touched down seemed to bear the blessings of the Snow Queen herself, gradually emanating an intense frosty aura.
By the time the thirty-first Heart of Ice settled, the entire lake seemed ensnared by a kingdom of glaciers, with cold mists billowing relentlessly.
Harrison felt the magic within him swiftly depleting, his complexion turning a shade paler.
Above the lake, dense cold currents vied to rise, plummeting the temperature at an alarming rate, which had already reached a bone-chilling negative 150 degrees Celsius.
For most life forms, such temperatures were akin to the icy hells of oblivion—a symbol of despair and doom.
Within the icy grasp of the lake, the Mythical Koi could hardly maintain their vivacity.
In an instant, a chorus of cracking sounds emanated from the lake\'s surface.
It seemed as if the biting cold had incensed the Mythical Koi, which suddenly surged from the depths, sluggishly crawling towards the shore.
The sight left Harrison and his companions utterly speechless in awe.
What astonished them even further was the sight of these Mythical Koi evolving short limbs from their underbellies, their forms reminiscent of prehistoric creatures—bizarre and unsettling.
Nevertheless, the extreme cold was a ruthless trial for them.
Many Mythical Koi were frozen stiff on the icy lake before they could even approach the shoreline, their figures immortalized like ice sculptures.
Their resistance to the bitter cold was evidently frail.
Only the more formidable ones, closer to the shore, managed to struggle fiercely and finally reach the banks.
Near Harrison and his group, a Mythical Koi was slowly approaching.
Although it was a mystical creature, its eyes revealed emotions strikingly similar to that of humans.
When its gaze met Harrison\'s, a profound desperation and plea seemed to flicker within, as if begging for salvation.
However, Harrison wasn\'t swayed by its plaintive eyes, aware that the being before him wasn\'t benevolent.
He swiftly summoned the spell of Water Healing.
In the icy atmosphere, the typically gentle droplets of Water Healing transformed into a misty veil, which soon coalesced in the air into countless icy needles.
The Water Healing, initially a miraculous spell for mending allies, now became the Mythical Koi\'s doom.
The icy needles swiftly penetrated the Koi, causing its life systems to crumble entirely.
Its body instantly stiffened, becoming a frozen statue atop the icy lake.
Witnessing this, Icethorn couldn\'t help but express his astonishment.
He was well-acquainted with the power of Water Healing, as many priest players within the Celestial Bureau had it as their go-to skill.
Yet, such an ingenious application of the spell was beyond Icethorn\'s expectations.
As time passed, the magic of the Heart of Ice gradually waned.
The mist that had once cloaked the emerald icy lake in a mystical veil lifted, revealing the frozen figures of the Mythical Koi below.
In the silence of the lake, they resembled exquisite ice sculptures.
Standing by the frozen expanse, Harrison keenly felt the persistent lifeforce within these Mythical Koi.
He recognized that their formidable constitution was something the Heart of Ice couldn\'t fully extinguish.
If left to slowly thaw, these Mythical Koi would undoubtedly rise again, resuming their rampage.
With a smirk, Harrison decided on another approach.
He walked to the lake\'s center, tilting his head skyward and summoning a blazing beam.
It was his special ability—Scorching Beam.
Amid the interplay of ice and fire, the Scorching Beam appeared even more potent, akin to a ray of summer sunshine in a frozen realm.
Those once vibrant, almost thawed Mythical Koi began to wither under the intense heat, their vitality waning until they slumped, lifeless.
The flame of life was extinguished in the collision of frost and inferno.
Having witnessed the entire process, deep surprise and admiration flashed in Icethorn\'s eyes, "Harrison, your combat prowess is truly breathtaking!"
