Watching this scene, David hesitated and chose not to give chase.

In truth, after three consecutive punches and subduing the Tears of Crystal Song, the energy he received from the Polar Ice Ape's sacrifice had nearly depleted.

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon the knights attempting to escape. The Ice Power within him gathered, suddenly transforming into a terrifying cold that enveloped down!

The Power of Ice enveloped the battlefield, quickly turning these knights into ice sculptures. The extreme cold took their lives, and David, harnessing the power of the Snow Demon Spirit, further seized their souls, bringing everything back to silence!

Only at this moment did David exhale, as the energy obtained through the sacrifice of the Polar Ice Ape began to dissipate constantly, causing his strength to fall to Tier Six.

"The power of Tier Seven is indeed intoxicating."

David felt it for a moment, a look of admiration appearing on his face.

This is the kind of power all strong individuals, including himself, are pursuing.

At this moment, atop the castle.

The nobles and officials of the Jingge Royal Family were all in shock.

No one among them anticipated that even with the Duke of Ice Crown adorned in Crystal Song Armor and wielding the Tears of Crystal Song, he still lost, narrowly escaping death!

Even though the Duke of Ice Crown eventually succeeded in escaping, the Tears of Crystal Song, this legendary weapon, was left on the battlefield, held in the hand of that wizard.

If it hadn't been seen with their own eyes.

No one would have believed all this was true!!

"Did we... win?"

After a while, an official murmured to himself.

Romance reacted quickly. Knowing the Duke Frost Wolf had taken in the wizard, he immediately judged that this must have been the Duke Frost Wolf sent to rescue them.

"We should get out of here quickly."

Only then did the others react, opening the castle gates.

However, after slaying those knights, David had already left, and these people didn't see David. They could only proceed towards the Ice Plateau as per the original plan.

...

Inside the cave of the Ice Plateau.

Reina and Sura were both filled with concern.

Just recently, Lord Duke had summoned away the Polar Ice Ape.

This indicated that a battle must have occurred with Lord Duke, reaching a point where even the Polar Ice Ape had to join the fight to stabilize the situation.

"Lord Duke is in danger," Reina turned pale.

Indeed, things were as they thought, the Polar City must have had a trap!

If Lord Duke encountered any mishap, she dared not imagine it.

"Don't worry, Lord Duke will definitely be fine," Sura reassured.

"No, I must go find Lord Duke."

Determination gleamed in Reina's eyes as she was about to walk out of the cave.

Sura quickly pulled Reina back.

If even Lord Duke could not handle it, then they certainly could not.

Now, they could only wait here for Lord Duke's return, perhaps even needing to take them away from this Far North!

Waiting always seemed to be very long.

It was unknown how much time passed until David's figure appeared amid ice and snow.

Reina and Sura stood at the cave's entrance waiting.

Upon seeing David's figure, tears welled in Reina's eyes, and she couldn't hold back anymore, rushing straight into Lord Duke's embrace.

"I'm back," David rubbed Reina's hair.

"Mm."

Reina nodded happily.

David returned to the cave with Reina, and Sura also breathed heavily with relief.

"I made you worry," David pulled Sura closer.

"Lord Duke, what happened?" Sura inquired.

At this moment, an exclamation suddenly sounded as Reina now noticed the Tears of Crystal Song held in Lord Duke's hand.

This sword originally belonged to her father, a legendary weapon inherited by the Crystal Song Clan, familiar to her.

But why was the Tears of Crystal Song in Lord Duke's hand?

"I encountered the Duke of Ice Crown," David said.

Reina's pupils contracted. This Duke of Ice Crown, the kingdom's war god, was very familiar to her. Could it be Lord Duke snatched the Tears of Crystal Song?

David briefly recounted the events.

Upon hearing that the Duke of Ice Crown, donned in Crystal Song Armor and wielding the Tears of Crystal Song, showcasing overwhelming power, Reina and Sura were taken aback, the mere words making them feel the oppressive pressure!

And when they heard that after the Polar Ice Ape died, he sacrificed it to gain power infinitely close to Tier Seven, severely wounding the Duke of Ice Crown, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sacrificial Talent?" Sura was surprised.

Though she knew Lord Duke had the wizard talent to replicate abilities.

But she did not expect the sacrificial talent replicated by Lord Duke to be stronger than her own as the original witch; she did not possess such a talent ability.

"It's a pity we didn't manage to kill the Duke of Ice Crown directly."

Reina clenched her fists, filled with hatred toward this enemy who seized the kingdom.

"Don't worry, since I can defeat him once, next time I meet him, I'll certainly kill him," David's voice carried a hint of chill.

"I will work harder too," Reina clenched her fists.

If possible, she would prefer to kill the Duke of Ice Crown herself!

Seeing this, David squinted and smiled, "We'll work hard together."

Upon hearing Lord Duke's tone, Reina suddenly reacted, a blush appearing on her face, realizing that to become stronger she indeed must train more.

With the teasing between the two, the atmosphere became relaxed.

The battle consumed David greatly this time despite having taken a recovery potion; he still needed to continue meditation and rest to restore his spiritual power.

Although most of the power obtained from sacrificing the Polar Ice Ape had dissipated, it still significantly strengthened his physical fitness.
