Wizard: Stronger through Marriage Chapter 1175 - 543: Oath of the Frozen Tundra

After escaping, the melting snow nearby reveals some faint footprints, traces left by a massive enemy army that recently passed by—marked with distinctive unnatural dimensional energy ripples, as eerie and terrifying as integrating black hole gravity and twisting space boundaries that make one afraid to gaze for too long, otherwise they might fall into a trap of illusion and confusion...

"It seems we are facing not just a natural disaster, but a large-scale invasion crossing multiple cosmic boundaries."

David’s voice grew heavier as he gripped the magic staff at his waist, its blue-purple flames flickering quietly.

He turned to those teammates still trapped: "I will use domain power to block the spore spread path in your bodies, but to completely remove them, professional treatment and higher-tier sealing ceremonies are needed."

Amy added, "Our top priority now is a safe retreat and seeking reinforcements. We cannot let the enemy exploit these dark fissures to penetrate us relentlessly."

Dusk deepened, and the cold wind across the ice plain carried an intense biting chill, sweeping over the desolate camp.

David, Amy, and the surviving Star Pupil Race members hurriedly set up a rudimentary defensive ground, surrounded by rocks and wreckage veiled in ice and snow like silent guardians, casting long shadows.

A pressing and tense atmosphere pervaded the air, the unease and danger seemingly spread through every inch of the space.

The gray-purple sky gradually turned deep blue, star points flickering like cold flames, unable to dispel the gloom of this silence.

David leaned against a frost-covered rock, his brows furrowed, his dark blue pupils reflecting spots of flame, like flickering lights in a cold night.

He slowly closed his eyes and delved his consciousness into the ancient bloodline within—Frost Wolf Power surged like a tide, enveloping him with an even thicker layer of cold aura.

"Never let your guard down at any time."

David murmured, sensing the faintly swirling waves of unease around him, the parasitic spores were secretly stirring.

Amy stood in the center of the camp, her silver-white armor reflecting the residual light, holding her magic staff constantly rotating to channel law energy, stabilizing the space barriers with the zero-degree domain.

Her gaze sharply scanned the surroundings, a subtle hint of unease hidden deep in her pupils.

"These spores are too strange, able to adapt to extreme environments and strongly resist our classic domain magic."

Reina—the young female warrior of the Star Pupil Race following closely behind, was now crouching behind a rock, her translucent eyes sparkling like stars in the night sky, filled with heavy doubt and anxiety.

"I’ve found they seem to evade our energy attacks through a sort of ’phase folding,’ every time we cast flame or frost magic, they instantly dematerialize and attack from another angle."

She gently touched the rune-encrusted knife handle, her only trustworthy and portable small weapon.

Reina’s gaze was firm, but the subtle tremors between her brows revealed an intertwining struggle of fear of the unknown enemy and insufficient personal power.

Just as they were engulfed in deep thought, a biting gale suddenly rose, countless silver-gray spores gathered like a tide, glinting eerie cold lights under twilight.

These parasitic entities were incredibly mysterious, seemingly without solid form, like swirling mist yet filled with corrosive killing intent, constantly changing shape trying to break through the defensive walls.

"Here they come!" Amy shouted, fully activating the Absolute Zero Domain, condensing the cold to its extreme, but soon she revealed a look of disbelief, "These parasites are immune to our strongest freezing law!"

At the same time, David swiftly grasped the divine remains crystal shard at his waist, the obsidian-like crystal carried ancient and malicious powers, an essential treasure obtained during his early ancient explorations.

He raised it to the sky, a dark blue shadow swirling within, releasing strong ripples spreading in all directions.

The power emitted by the divine remains crystal was strange, differing from ordinary elements, capable of forcibly interfering with space structure and solidifying enemy movements unpredictably with high-tier energy.

This was exactly what they needed to counter these flexible, elusive, and well-versed phase-folding parasitic entities evading attacks.

"Everyone, focus on defense, I’m preparing to detonate the divine remains crystal!" David commanded steadily, while slashing into the void ahead, controlling the ripple released by the crystal, precisely directing it at those attempting to breach the barrier and attack.

As waves of distorted shock blasts erupted, countless silver-gray spores were instantly frozen and immobilized, but not completely eliminated, trapped within an invisible cage losing free movement.

But this brief victory did not bring relaxation, for more spores appeared again from afar, gathering rapidly and overwhelmingly, accompanied by a spine-chilling buzzing, violently impacting the camp’s outer barriers.

Reina moved swiftly wielding her knife, skillfully dodging those parasitic tendrils appearing and vanishing abruptly, each slash precisely cut through hardened spore shells, but the tendrils regenerated at lightning speed, bringing her unprecedented despair.

"They’re really too troublesome..." she whispered, her voice slightly hoarse from fatigue, but her fighting spirit fiercely ablaze in her eyes, "We must find a breakthrough.. cannot keep fighting like this!"

Amy glanced at David exerting domain force maintaining control over the battle but appeared exceedingly tired, "His divine remains crystal is effective, but this method is hugely draining, we can’t rely on it long, otherwise, we’ll exhaust our defenses."
